Chapter 0535 - Four Waiting, One Implementation

Time passes in a busy time,

Regarding the worries in Kara's heart, of course Li Wenxing has no way of knowing, and even if he does, he will only laugh.

Not to mention that the film and television dramas he is optimistic about will not lose money at all, even if it really loses, it will definitely not affect the operation of other companies under his name.

Not to mention that all his companies are currently in a healthy state of profitability, and the amount of profit is quite considerable,

Let's just say that the current Ryoko Book House chain on Hijima can easily raise the 60 million US dollars needed for the filming of these film and television dramas just by mortgaging its shares, and there is no need to allocate funds from other places at all.

At present, the investment in the United States is completely unaffected by other businesses in Xiangjiang and Ridao, and there is no worry at all.

Including the Ryoko chain bookstore that was mortgaged, it also opened a new round of financing a few days ago, and successfully raised 15 billion yen, which has also not stopped its development and is currently expanding.

Looking back at the film and television works that Superstar Pictures is producing, and the projects that will be established, which one is not a classic drama that was popular in the previous life?

Even if individual plays are adapted beyond recognition, and after being changed to superstar film production, including the director and actors, they are not the original people, which may lead to a reduction in the effect of the finished film, but who can be sure that it will inevitably lose?

Even if you don't imagine the best outcome, because Superstar Pictures has increased its investment, and the resulting work is more popular than in previous lives,

Even, even if the work is much worse than the previous life, it is at most a little less earning, and the worst can save the capital, right? There is really no need to be so pessimistic.

Well, skip that all and get back to the point.

As Li Wenxing expected, the public relations team formed by Carla was very slow to negotiate "Star Wars" with Fox, but it was still talking.

However, the negotiations with Columbia Pictures are going well, because Spielberg, the 'traitor', plays a role in the middle.

On the one hand, he was putting counterpressure on the Colombian leadership, spending the budget of $4 million in a few days, and urging the budget to be supplemented, otherwise he could only stop filming.

On the other hand, it appropriately shows the concerns and hesitations about the filming of the film, which makes the hearts of the Colombian executives skip a beat, which has invested four million into it, if even the producer and director begin to be confused, then the future of the film is worrying.

From here, it reflects the sophistication and strategy of Spielberg, the big commercial director, compared with Lucas's stubbornness and conservatism, the former is more suitable for the laws of Hollywood.

It's no wonder that Spielberg in his previous life was more successful than Lucas, talent is one thing, and character determines fate.

The days have re-entered a state of boring waiting, waiting for the implementation of "Star Wars", waiting for the implementation of "Contact of the Third Kind", waiting for the implementation of "Star Trek", and most importantly, waiting for Madonna's appointment.

is just waiting like this, and the return date is postponed again,

On June 3rd, "Contact of the Third Kind" was first implemented.

The film is based on an additional $3 million from Columbia, with a total of $4.3 million in the initial investment, plus a direct investment of $8 million from Superstar Pictures.

Colombia has a 65 percent comprehensive revenue share of the film, while Superstar Pictures receives the remaining 35 percent of the revenue share, up to three years, and all revenue generated after three years goes to Superstar Pictures.

It seems that Superstar Pictures has suffered a big loss, investing more money than Columbia, but only getting half of the other party's share, because there are other conditions attached.

First of all, in exchange, Superstar Pictures enjoys all the rights to the film, because the film is not a series, and Columbia does not attach much importance to the copyright ownership in the later stage, and just wants to make a hammer deal.

and Spielberg's promise to Superstar Pictures that he has the right of first refusal to buy out the filming of his next film, and unless the submitted script is denied, it can only be handed over to Superstar for filming,

There is also the need for Liu Ruoyu to play the first heroine of the film, Gillian, and as for the previously determined actress, the liquidated damages will be borne by Superstar Pictures.

It can be said that Li Wenxing successfully confused the Colombian company with this clause, otherwise the negotiation work would not have gone so smoothly.

In the previous negotiations between the two parties, Li Wenxing's strategy for Carla was that the boss was rich and capricious, and after hearing about the fame of the big director, he didn't read the script, and he wanted to invest directly, one was to rush to the reputation of the big director, and he felt that he would not lose, and the other was to spend money to support her for the little lover's appearance.

As a result, the Columbia company has relatively relaxed its vigilance against the negotiation work, and Spielberg has cooperated with it.

Not only did they feel confused and unable to see the prospect of income, but they also faced huge financial pressure, so they finally had to agree to Superstar Pictures to join in to share the risk and get a piece of the pie.

At present, Columbia Pictures is not as rich as it was when Sony took over, and they are facing a financial crisis at this time, only a little better than Fox.

Speaking of Fox, Fox is not far from bankruptcy now.

However, it is precisely because Fox is in high debt and facing a desperate situation that the new president Alan Ryder Jr., who has a very strategic vision for film investment, made a desperate bet on the movie "Star Wars".

So much so that even if everyone is strongly opposing the filming of "Star Wars" and agreeing to dump the blame on Superstar Pictures at this time, Alan Ryder Jr. is still insisting on his opinion, and even uses the most extreme way of resignation to coerce other high-level executives.

To tell the truth, Li Wenxing really admires Fox, the second-generation president of the star, and understands the other party's situation very well, and even sympathizes with the other party.

It's like when someone comes to him to buy Tomb Raider, and the people around him approve of him selling it, he will definitely feel helpless and miserable.

It's obviously a good movie, and you can make a lot of money as long as you make it, why are you so short-sighted?

Well, that's the mood.

The difference is that he can completely control Superstar Pictures, and no one can object, while the other party can't fully control Fox, and even relatively control is difficult, after all, it is only a new appointment.

However, sympathy is sympathy, understanding is understanding, Li Wenxing has no friendship with the other party, and he still thinks about the other party if he can't make a mistake, and the means and routines that should be used still need to be used.

In the further negotiations with Fox, in Li Wenxing's increasingly impatient waiting, on June 9th, Madonna finally appeared.

Without any hesitation or hesitation, after accompanying Madonna around Los Angeles for two days, on the evening of the third day, in an upscale hotel in Santa Monica,

Flowers, Western food, red wine, dance steps, sweet words, this set of processes is done, and in each other's confusion, Li Wenxing completely conquered Madonna.

Also on the morning of the fourth day, Li Wenxing directly ended his three-and-a-half-month trip to the United States, and with a little regret, boarded the passenger plane back to Xiangjiang. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
