Chapter 40: Divergence

David said: "Spielberg, the financier behind him is Microsoft's Alan Paul, who is not on the same path as us at all, and DreamWorks' approach is not authentic, it has already caused public anger, and it is rumored that the six major ones are ready to join forces to block and isolate them, so I won't be bored to provoke them."

MGM lost a lot of money due to "The Windtalker", went bankrupt and liquidated, Hollywood has cleared it out of the list of giants, and now Warner and Sony Columbia are ready to buy it, and now Hollywood is used to calling the six giants, all of which belong to the media group.

Megan said, "Who do you fancie? Spielberg is the best." ”

David said: "Jerry Bruckheimer, the king of producers, its touchstone is Hollywood's top production company, with Disney as a big backer, they have produced countless top-notch, blockbuster commercial blockbusters, I love their "Pearl Harbor" to death, you know, I watched it no less than 100 times! Super classic movie, but the audience is too rubbish and doesn't know how to appreciate it, which makes it a bad seller." ”

Megan said: "As long as there are movies with planes and air battles, you think they are classics, the audience is too rubbish or the movie is too rubbish, is it that the audience spends money into the cinema, and they are not even qualified to comment on the quality of the movie, Jerry Bruckheimer, what he is best at is big star productions, and his works are hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, do you have so much money to participate in investment?"

David said proudly: "I heard that he cooperated with Jerry, Larry was very supportive, and pulled out 40 million US dollars at a time for us to participate in the investment in the epic blockbuster "King Arthur" jointly produced by Jerry and Disney, which is a super big production, Disney opened a production budget of 200 million US dollars, including the publicity and distribution costs, nearly 300 million US dollars. ”

Megan exclaimed, "So much?"

David said proudly: "I don't know if you don't have much money until Hollywood, this is a Disney super blockbuster, the production cost of 200 million US dollars, 40 million is only one-fifth, Jerry is the producer, the guarantee of blockbusters, I took a lot of effort to get on this boat." ”

Megan said, "You're very much like Jack Dawson. ”

David said: "You certainly don't mean that I am as handsome and affectionate as him. ”

Meghan said: "I mean being like him who worked so hard and was lucky enough to get on the Titanic. ”

David's face sank and he said, "What do you mean?"

Meghan said: "A work with a cost of 300 million, how much does the box office need to return? at least 500 million, how many movies have a box office of more than 500 million in a year, all the hundreds of millions of productions rely on the overseas market to return to the cost, for the overseas market, overseas distribution channels, all in the hands of the six majors, everything is up to them, how much do they give you?"

David said: "Fifteen percent, this is an epic blockbuster created by Disney, and they plan to make a series, which is directed by director Anthony Fuquaa, Cliff Irving, Kayla Murphy, and is expected to be a series. Knightley co-starred, mainly tells the story of Arthur who successfully established the Kingdom of Great Britain after the war, created British history, and Gwynaville eventually became the queen, Arthur not only has natural powers, but also has great ambitions, when he saw the chaotic status quo of the country, he vowed to free the entire British Isles from the brutal rule of the Romans through his own efforts, and at the same time get rid of the chaotic war situation, he made up his mind to build a new home for the people here, full of peace and tranquility, and achieve his own hegemony story, Jerry and Disney ambitions……。 ”

Megan said, "Gone?"

David shrugged his shoulders in question.

Meghan said: "In addition to the 15% share, what about the related and follow-up copyrights? DVD share, peripheral share, and TV broadcast rights?"

David said: "There is only a share of the box office, and if you want to enter the circle of Jerry, the king of producers, you can't do it without paying the price." ”

Meghan said: "Is this 40 million given to you by Larry or given to us?"

"Of course it's ours, Larry treats our brothers and sisters equally, and he wants us brothers and sisters to stick together and start a business together," David said. ”

Megan said: "OK! Draw 20 million dollars to my account, I will not invest in "King Arthur" with you. ”

David said, "No! Larry wants us to venture together." ”

Meghan said: "We are co-investing, but half of the money is invested in "King Arthur", and half is arranged, and my part is up to me." ”

David was very upset and said, "No, we said that we would invest in movies, and I promised Jerry to invest 40 million, and he would look down on me if I didn't lose half of it." ”

Megan said: "Your investment roots can't make a profit, I won't follow you to be stupid, the first premise of investment is to ensure profits, 40 million US dollars in tuition, Haval, Yale is not so expensive, I don't want to climb the high branch of the king of producers, I just want to invest in the project I fancy to it, I must own all the copyrights, intervene in all links, you throw 40 million out and don't care about anything, this is too stupid." ”

David was annoyed and said, "This money was co-invested by Larry for us, and you can't take this money without my consent." ”

Megan said: "I told Larry that you and the male model Thomas were on the bed of his yacht, and you know how much Larry hates and disgusts this, and he will kill you." ”

David was furious and said, "You actually threaten me?"

Meghan said: "Your behavior is not friendly, you have ruined my good deeds, I will go and tell Larry that you offered to invest separately, and also, don't mind my business in the future, just like I don't care about your dirty things." With that, he walked away.

As soon as Donald came out of the library, a BMW in front of him honked its siren a few times, and the window was lowered, revealing a handsome old white man with blond hair, who was none other than his biological father, Jerry Williams.

Jerry gave Donald a look and motioned for him to get in the car, and Donald didn't see his father for more than two months, so he was a little happy and happily got into the car.

They are as tall and handsome as father and son, his father is a declining aristocratic heir in Europe, living on ancestral business, because Sophia found out that he was raising a lover outside, he divorced categorically, Donald has the surname of his mother, and was raised by her.

Jerry said, "What is your relationship with Mark? Didn't you tell me you hate him very much, why is the relationship so good now?"

Donald said: "That is in the past, I used to think that Mark was here to steal my father's love, but now I find out that this is not the case, he can protect Sophie and Kayla with his life, and I am his own brother." ”

"Fatherly love!" said Jerry, scoffing, "You are your father to King David?"

Donald said, "Yes!"

Jerry sneered, "Just because he bought you a Volvo?"

Donald said: "Because he loves Sophie, he never makes Sophie unhappy, he treats me better than Mark, and you, don't talk about buying a car, you actually ask Sophie for alimony, from that moment on, I am not proud of you, you know? That day Sophie was shot, David was the first to stand in front of Sophie and Kayla, can you do it? You might do all this for your lover outside, not us." ”

Jerry was angry and aggrieved, and said angrily, "I love you deeply, and you will never know what I did for you?"

Donald said: "Maybe not, just like this time Sophie had an accident, you still disappeared, looking for fun in Europe, ignoring us, our feelings are weakening." ”

Jerry said, "I was forced to leave because I couldn't help it, I ask you, what's wrong with Mark, how is he different from before?" he asked at the end, looking at Donald intently.

Donald said: "There is nothing wrong with it, if there is, it is that he has become smarter, and I am far behind him." ”

"What!" Jerry said in strange surprise, "it can't be. ”

Donald said, "How is it impossible? Mark is now making movies, writing novels, doing a great job, and it's amazing." ”

Jerry said, "You don't hate him now?"

Donald said, "I'm proud of him. ”

Jerry said, "Aren't you worried that Mark will rob you of your inheritance?"

Donald said: "This worry is unnecessary, I see the world with malicious eyes, and I feel ashamed that I have such thoughts." ”

Jerry had a complicated look on his face and said, "It's animal instinct to protect yourself from harm, Donald, you must know that I will not allow anyone to hurt you, I am willing to do anything for you." ”

Donald said, "You should do more, not talk more." ”

Jerry said, "To celebrate your admission to college, I invite you to dinner. ”

Donald said, "You're weird today, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Jerry said, "What will I hide from you? Donald, you're my pride." ”

Donald said, "But you're not my pride, and I won't be proud of you." "Ever since he learned that he was blackmailing Sophia with custody and demanding alimony, he had despised him as a human being.

Jerry knew why his son hated him, and he tried to explain: "The Ronaldson family is not short of that little money. ”

Donald said: "The reason why you are so short of money is that you are lazy and lustful, and why do you pretend to be a good father in front of me." ”

Jerry was a little embarrassed, he tried to explain something, Donald had pushed the car door and walked away, he missed this person when he didn't meet, and when he did, he felt that he had many shortcomings, he was simply unworthy of being his father, he was greedy, and irresponsible, which was a world difference compared to David.

David was in front of Sophia and Kayla for the first time, Mark rushed to the murderer desperately, and this time he gained his approval, and those who stood up to protect their families at a critical moment would be respected, so he had a very high vision, and he agreed with Mark at once, he used to look down on Mark, who was uneducated, stupid, and uneducated, and he also complained to Jerry, hoping that there was no such person in the world.

Now he thinks that Mark is cheerful and straightforward, righteous, and has no shortcomings at all, and they are a family that loves each other.
