Chapter 772: A tyrant-style solution
"Although I said it in front of Director Nolan, I still have to say it again, he really gave me a big problem. Layla spread her hands: "First of all, I still have a lot of post-production work to complete for my movie, and as the boss of Marvel, I'm afraid it will have some bad effects if I go to help DC make a movie." ”
The delegates nodded, all of them understanding her words. In fact, at this stage of her, it doesn't make much difference if she earns more or less, and it is very inappropriate to mainly help competitors.
"We were also surprised when Director Nolan brought this up to us. "Surprise is surprise, and if Leila is really willing to do it, it doesn't matter if they scare their jaws off. As long as this can be achieved, the bonus on the boss's side will definitely not be less.
"We've had a great time working with Nolan and we'd be happy to see him come to fruition. ”
Leila almost died laughing at their words. If she really dares to say anything, she doesn't believe that if Nolan finds an unknown rookie director to take over, they will still be so "happy to see it happen".
But she doesn't care about that. Harmony makes money, hello, hello, everyone, and earning money together is the best way to cooperate.
"I also believe in the strength of director Nolan. will be so impressed by his conditions. After thinking about it for the past two days, I feel that if you can agree to three conditions for me, then I can do the same. ”
Everyone in the conference room looked at her in surprise, except for the secretary Demi, who came in with her, with a pair of green cat's eyes, unable to believe what she was hearing. Louise reminded the boss not to agree, right? Why is this even a condition?
The delegates didn't care about anything else, they only heard that Leila was willing to offer conditions, and that was enough!
I'm not afraid that she will ask for a sky-high price, and no matter how much she wants, she must abide by the rules of Hollywood. And can she earn more than she can earn for them?
Leila held up a finger: "First, I want to buy a part of DC's stock." It doesn't take a lot, 5% to 10% is fine, so that I will become a shareholder of DC, and then the news of the movie will not have any impact on me and Marvel. ”
I didn't expect her to make such a request, and the DC representative couldn't help but panic a little when everyone else looked at him, and he did it by going to see the Warner Bros. representative. Who told them to be bought by Warner Bros.?
"Allow me to call the above right now. The Warner Bros. representative solemnly took out his phone.
"Of course. Leila made a gesture of please.
When the representative went to call, the other people also looked at her with a subtle change in expression. Although her request is a sword, it is a good way to resolve disputes, as long as she becomes a shareholder of DC, then the DC camp superhero movie can also be said to be made for herself.
Just to make a movie to buy shares in other companies, can ordinary people think of it? Even if it's 5%, it will cost about tens of millions, right?
The Warner Bros. representative soon came back and also brought the answer from his boss: "Director Moran can buy 5 to 10 percent of the stock shares, and we have no problem with it." ”
The representatives of DC were even happier to hear him say this than Leila, who was allowed to be trusted.
Speaking of which, Marvel used to be so down, and DC was not much better. The only thing they're better than DC is that they were acquired a little earlier. It's great to be able to have a relationship with Laila this time, you must know that there are still many superheroes in DC, in case the big director occasionally has a whim, and he is tired of filming Marvel's heroes and chooses to shoot DC, isn't it too worthwhile?
And she didn't want much, just 5%-10% of the way to squeeze a little bit and squeeze out. It can be seen that she is just trying not to cause gossip, and she is not thinking about acquiring DC.
Leila nodded: "Related matters, I will send someone to negotiate." So let's talk about the second point, I want to be completely in charge of the filming of the film, that is, from the naming of the film to the post-production, I can call the shots. In the past, on the films I made, I would have noted this. She doesn't want her hard-earned footage to end up in someone else's hands and make a mess of editing.
"That's all right!" Even if they hadn't worked with her, they wouldn't be stupid enough to dictate her work. If even her ability to attract money is in doubt, then Hollywood really doesn't know who can be trusted.
They were so cheerful, and Leila was naturally happy: "Finally, I agreed to Director Nolan as an assistant director, and at the same time, I will only take one of the remaining two films. ”
"One?" everyone was shocked. After a long time, I only made one film?
"Don't worry, I have a lot of trust in director Nolan's ability and believe that after the second filming, he will bring us a wonderful movie. "Leila will make this decision, mainly because she doesn't want to cut off Nolan's path as a director. In case he didn't get through his "second line" because he didn't shoot Batman, it would be troublesome. She also looks forward to the birth of better films from him.
Nolan looked at her deeply, thought for a long time before nodding his head vigorously: "Okay! I won't waste this opportunity, I will definitely learn from Director Moran when I am in the crew!"
Leila secretly embarrassed, and when the future director said this, she really felt a little unbearable.
"One thing, I hope you can say yes. Nolan hesitated, but still made his request: "If you can, can you let Christian continue to play Bruce Wayne?"
Layla raised her eyebrows a little confused: "He's a good fit for Batman, why do you think I'm going to replace him?"
"That's good. Nolan smiled, relieved. Christian was the best person for him, and it was only nice that she thought so.
After the negotiation, all the terms will eventually be listed in the contract, and as for the salary or something, it is not Laila's business, and Louise, who is her temporary agent, will help her handle it.
Therefore, Louise was also the first to know that the matter had been negotiated.
"Leila, I still don't think you should take this film. ”
"I've decided to buy a portion of DC's stock and just be one of their shareholders and have no problem. "It's the easiest thing Laila can come up with.
"But......" Louise sighed with a headache, what to do with a wayward boss?
"Alright. Layla smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't you think that's funny too?"
Louise shook her head with a straight face: "No! I just see that you will cause us a lot of trouble by doing this!"
Leila laughed: "Then you can ask them for a salary that will make them feel painful, I believe it will make you feel a lot more comfortable." ”
"Don't worry, I'll do it!" Knowing that it was impossible to make her change her mind, Louise could only find a little balance on this point.
