"Mr. Wei is planning to buy the rights to Terminator?" James Cameron looked at Wei Xiong in surprise, and the wine glass that had reached his lips stopped.

He was chatting with a friend when Wei Xiong suddenly took the initiative to come over.

For this famous figure, Cameron was naturally interested in making friends, but he didn't expect Wei Xiong to buy the copyright of "Terminator".

"That's right, I'm interested in a sequel to Terminator. ”

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Of course, even if I get the copyright to "Terminator", Mr. Cameron will still be the director of the sequel. ”

The Terminator franchise is one of Hollywood's most famous and successful film series.

Its creator was James Cameron, who later became known as the 'King of Hollywood'. However, at present, only the first part of "Terminator" has been filmed.

"The copyright to Terminator belongs to Warner. ”

"Even if I want to sell it to Mr. Wei, it's impossible, as for the sequel, I just wrote the outline of the script, how did Mr. Wei know?"

"I don't remember telling anyone that I was working on a sequel to 'Terminator.' ”

I want a sequel to Terminator.

"As a successful sci-fi action movie, 'The Terminator' has cultivated so many fans that I don't think there's a reason for Mr. Cameron to just give up. ”

And there is suspense left at the end of the film. ”

"So I can guess that it's not that hard that you're writing a sequel. For Cameron's question, Wei Xiong has long been mentally prepared.

As for the copyright of "Terminator", it is owned by Warner, which is also expected by Wei Xiong.

After all, the film was invested by Warner.

But the sequel rights should still be in Cameron's hands.

Cameron didn't reply immediately, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought, as the so-called world is bustling, all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit.

-dǐng-diǎn-小-say,.⌒.∨os_(); Although the previous cooperation with Warner was quite pleasant.

But if the cooperation with Wei Xiong can get him greater benefits, he doesn't mind kicking Warner away, which is normal in Hollywood.

After a moment, Cameron looked up.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long, I have to think about it. ”

Wei Xiong smiled and said, "What about the result?"

"I'm not going to sell the copyrights, but we can work together in a different way, for example, investing together, which I think is a good way. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

However, he was also prepared for rejection in his heart, and even planned a plan to settle for the next best, which happened to coincide with Cameron.

"It's a pity. ”

Wei Xiong shrugged: "I don't know what your specific plan is?"

After a deep groan, Cameron said:

"You invest 80% of the funds, I invest 20%, you account for 60% of the box office and video tapes, etc., and I account for 40%, what do you think?"

"No, no, no. Wei Xiong shook his head repeatedly.

"As far as I know, the investment in Terminator is almost $30 million, counting the increase in prices and technological progress in recent years. ”

"The investment in the sequel should be doubled, which is $60 million. ”

"A 20% difference is almost $12 million, does Mr. Cameron think the script for the sequel to 'Terminator' will be worth $12 million?"

"The script alone is certainly not worth the price. ”

"But Mr. Wei should be able to see the prospect of it, otherwise you wouldn't want to buy the rights. And as the creator of the script. ”

"If I direct this play myself, its potential will be fully realized. ”

Wei Xiong still shook his head.

"Although I am optimistic about its prospects, it does not necessarily mean that it will be a big hit, and there are many blockbusters in Hollywood history. ”

"In this way, the investment remains the same, I will account for 70% of the return, and you will account for 30%. ”

Now it was Cameron's turn to shake his head.

"No, no, no, it's too high, I can only accept 65% and 35% at most. Speaking of this, Cameron hesitated for a moment and continued:

"If you accept this share, I can do without the director's salary and share. ”

Actually gave up the director's salary and share?

It can be seen that Cameron is full of confidence in the sequel to "Terminator", knowing that the salary and share of a famous Hollywood director are not a small amount.

Wei Xiong can see that this is already Cameron's bottom line.

After a little silence, diǎn looked at the diǎn head and said, "Okay, just according to this ratio, but I have a request." ”

"What requirements?"

"The script should include a scene set in Hong Kong, often no less than a third of the film. This should not be too much to ask. ”

It's really not too much, so Cameron readily agreed.

The two of them were very happy that they had negotiated a partnership so quickly.

After a pleasant toast, Cameron said lightly: "At the moment, I need to revise the script outline before I start writing the script. ”

"This process can take months. ”

"I think we can finalize the cooperation agreement before that. ”

Wei Xiong smiled and said, "No problem, I still have to stay in Los Angeles for a day." Well, let's find a place to talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes. ”

"What are you two talking about so happy?"

Wei Xiong turned his head to see a beautiful woman with typical French woman characteristics standing behind him: "It turned out to be Miss Sophie, it's an honor to meet you." ”

This French beauty is none other than Sophie?? Marceau.

Despite the current Sophie?? Marceau is only 22 years old, but she is already a well-known actress in France.

"I'm honored too. ”

The two of them gently touched their glasses. Seeing this, Cameron couldn't be interested, and said with a smile: "The two of you talk slowly, I'll be out of company first." ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Wei for winning the award. ”

"It was a real surprise. ”

……

Sophie?? Marceau chatted for a while and left.

Wei Xiong wants to talk to Sophie?? Maso talked for a while, but the husband came over, and he couldn't help it, but he didn't have a good impression of this Slav.

Andrei Zuravsky.

This is Sophie?? Marceau's husband's name is a Polish-born director.

Anyway, Sophie?? Marceau debuted on the innocent route, but in 1984, Andrei Zulawisky asked Sophie ?? Marceau sends out an invitation.

Filming "Wild Love" with revealing footage.

Sophie at the time?? Marceau's agency, Gaumon, didn't want Sophie?? Marceau, a cash cow, died because of a premature transformation.

used 1 million francs in liquidated damages and public opinion attacks to pressure her.

As a result, Sophie, who is in the age of rebellion?? Marceau terminated his contract with Gaumon for 1 million francs and regained his freedom.

And it was also the beginning of "Wild Love".

Sophie?? Marceau completely abandoned his previous innocent image and should take the lust-woman route.

At the same time, 44-year-old Andrei Zulawisky also became Sophie during the filming of "Wild Love". Marceau's boyfriend.

And the next year, the two officially got married.

To know that year Sophie?? Marceau is only 19 years old, and a typical old cow eats tender grass.

"Someone's husband is right next to him, you still see. ”

"Huh. Wei Xiong heard the sourness in Zhong Chuhong's tone, smiled, and changed the topic: "Have you dealt with those flies?"

Zhong Chuhong sat down in the vacant seat opposite Wei Xiong.

"Some of Hollywood's biggest stars are really shameless. ”

"Just now, someone actually asked me to go to his house later, saying that there was some kind of red wine, and invited me to taste it together, if it wasn't for this occasion. ”

"That's when I slapped him. ”

Seeing Zhong Chuhong's indignant appearance, Wei Xiong laughed twice unscrupulously.

"It's not that people are shameless, it's just a cultural difference, if you change to a European and American female star, if you receive a similar invitation, even if you don't agree. ”

"I don't think there's anything for the most part. ”

"Besides, it's normal for people to be tempted by your sexy outfit tonight. ”

"Alas. Zhong Chuhong suddenly sighed lightly.

"Although there are various unspoken rules in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, I still feel that I am more accustomed to staying in Hong Kong, and there are always diǎn strangers here. ”

"Nobody asks you to come to Hollywood, and you don't need to come to Hollywood. ”

"With me here, are you still afraid that you won't be famous?"

Wei Xiong wants to establish a real Oriental Hollywood, and naturally he doesn't want Hong Kong's talent to drain, but when he hears Zhong Chuhong's ears, it's different.

It reflects more of a man's responsibility.

"Hmph. Zhong Chuhong wrinkled her nose cutely: "I suddenly found out that you are the biggest and most hateful demon in the Hong Kong entertainment industry." ”

"Even I'm under your rules. ”

Wei Xiong was glad that he didn't drink anything in his mouth, otherwise he would definitely squirt it out in one gulp.

"I ......"

"Hehe......" Zhong Chuhong couldn't help laughing when he saw Wei Xiong's depressed look that was difficult to argue, which made Wei Xiong even more annoyed and angry.

"I'll go back later, and see how I clean you up. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Chuhong only felt a blush and heartbeat, from last night to this afternoon, she had done it with Wei Xiong a total of four times.

It's an hour or two at a time.

There were two times during this period when she had collapsed, and her lower body was also in hot pain, but both times Wei Xiong put his palm on her lower body.

Then she had a warm feeling that spread to her body centered on her lower body.

Lasts about two or three minutes.

The feeling of warmth disappeared, along with the pain in the lower body, and the collapsed body recovered.

She wondered what was going on.

But Wei Xiong just smiled and didn't tell her.

……

By the time the Oscar dinner was over, when Wei Xiong and Zhong Chuhong replied to the hotel, it was already 12 and a half.

Coincidentally Sophie?? Marceau actually stayed in the same hotel as them.

The two sides almost got off the two cars with their front and back feet, but they only said hello, after all, he and Sophie?? Marceau was just getting to know him.

Pushing the door to the bedroom, it was pitch black inside, and only the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Thinking about it, Cui Muqing had already slept.

"Smack. "I turned on the light, and sure enough, there was a mermaid sleeping in the begonia spring on the bed, and it was a red-striped mermaid.

Maybe I'm tired.

Cui Muqing didn't notice that someone was coming.

Wei Xiong didn't bother, picked up Zhong Chuhong, who seemed to be a little reluctant, and walked into the bathroom: "Didn't you play last night, don't be like this." ”

"I was forced by you. ”

"Okay, so how about I force you again tonight?"

……

The next day, Wei Xiong didn't wake up until he slept for more than 9 diǎn, and after looking at Zhong Chuhong and Cui Muqing, who were sleeping soundly on both sides, he got out of bed lightly.

After washing, look at the time is almost up.

I changed into a simple casual outfit and came to the café on the fifth floor of the hotel.

He made an appointment with Cameron to talk about things here.

"Sorry, I'm late. As soon as he walked into the café, Wei Xiong saw Cameron sitting by the window, leisurely drinking coffee.

"No, I'm early. ”

In Wei Xiong's eyes, Cameron is a director with a strong personality and great talent, he may not be very sociable, but he is popular.

At least you have a crush on Cameron.

After diǎn a cup of coffee, Wei Xiong asked with a smile, "Do you need to come to diǎn small diǎn heart?"

Cameron shrugged his shoulders: "You can do it." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong diǎn two more mousse cakes, he exercised a lot last night, and now his stomach is almost hungry, so he has to fill it with the cake first.

The two talked about topics other than the details of their cooperation.

It's basically focused on the script, and Cameron needs to know what Wei Xiong's requirements are, so that he can let go of the script outline.

And Wei Xiong also wants to make it clear to Cameron at one time.

After all, one of the two is in Hong Kong and the other is in the United States, thousands of miles apart, and when something happens, even if there is a phone call, it is very inconvenient to communicate.

The original "Terminator 2" tells the computer "Skynet" to be more powerful and intelligent.

Composed of a special liquid metal that can transform into 1000 Terminators of anyone and anything it touches.

Back to the human leader John?? During Connor's childhood, he was about to kill John.

Make the future human world leaderless.

John?? When Connor learned the news, he immediately sent another Terminator 800, who had been programmed to be changed, to travel back to his childhood and defend himself at this time.

At the beginning of this paragraph, Wei Xiong did not ask for it.

But next about a paragraph about John?? Connor's birth mother, Sarah, is about to change.

In the original version, Sarah was treated as a mentally ill person and admitted to a hospital because of her bizarre words and actions, and her attack on a computer company that caused rampant trouble.

Wei Xiong's idea was that he was not forcibly taken into a psychiatric hospital.

Instead, he fled to Hong Kong.

In this way, the 1000 who try to kill Sarah will have to go to Hong Kong and then start a battle with the 800 Terminators in Hong Kong.

After listening to Wei Xiong's thoughts, Cameron groaned slightly and said:

"No problem, the script changes aren't huge. The two then went on to discuss some of the specifics of the revisions.

……

"No, you don't have the authority to ask me to do that. ”

"It's not a request, it's a build, you can refuse, it's just that I want you to think about it, I think it's a good choice for us our future. ”

"Well, I'll think about it. ”

……

Wei Xiong, who was talking to Cameron, suddenly heard a quarrel and turned his head to look.

Two familiar faces were seen - Sophie Marceau and her husband Andrea Zuravsky.

I didn't expect them to come for coffee too.

However, the atmosphere between the two did not seem to be very pleasant, and when he turned his head to look, Sophie Marceau had already gotten up and walked towards the outside of the café.

"Looks like we're having something interesting. ”

Cameron also saw it, and the smiling Asahei Xiong shrugged his shoulders: "It's almost time to talk about it, when do you think it's appropriate to sign a contract." ”

"I'll be back in Hong Kong tomorrow. ”

"When I go back, draw up the contract, and I will send someone over. ”

……

After talking about business, it was almost noon, and Wei Xiong originally wanted to invite Cameron to lunch together, but Cameron said that he had already made an appointment.

So I had to give up.

After that, Wei Xiong returned to the room, Zhong Chuhong and Cui Muqing were still sleeping like pigs on the bed, without the slightest sign of waking up.

In desperation, he could only give up the idea of eating at the restaurant.

Called directly for lunch.

At two in the afternoon, Wei Xiong and Cui Muqing, who had just had lunch, went to Paramount headquarters together, while Zhong Chuhong stayed in the hotel and continued to sleep.

Originally, she was going back to the crew this afternoon.

But at Wei Xiong's request, he called the crew and asked for a day of sick leave.

This time Wei Xiong went to Paramount, mainly with Michael?? Eisner talks about the collaboration of Top Secret Mission, the main of which is the sharing.

"50 First Loves", which is still being released in various countries, follows the sharing model of "People and Ghosts".

That is, the box office is less than $100 million, and the share is only 33%.

The share rises to 39 per cent between $100 million and $250 million, and 45 per cent above $250 million.

In the face of two consecutive ultra-high box office that far exceeded Paramount's expectations, such a sharing ratio is obviously out of place in Wei Xiong's view.

Michael?? Eisner also knew what Wei Xiong was coming for.

So the two just chatted casually for a few words and got to the point.

"When "50 First Loves" came out at the box office in the first week, I knew that the next film's share was bound to change, but you should know it. ”

"The 45 percent split is already very high. ”

"After deducting the publicity expenses, Paramount actually doesn't make as much as you, and if it continues to improve, Paramount probably won't make any profits. ”

Wei Xiong shook his head.

"Michael, I think you first have to figure out that 45% is not a normal sharing ratio, but a VAM agreement between the two of us. ”

"I'm taking a big risk in it. ”

"Since I took the risk, I should naturally get the same benefit as the risk. ”

Michael?? Eisner shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Okay, so how much do you think it should be raised. ”

"It's still a gambling agreement, and if the box office is less than $100 million, I only need 33 percent, which is between $100 million and $250 million. ”

"The score is 44 percent, and if it is higher than 250 million, it is 52 percent. ”

"No, no, no. "Michael?? Eisner shook his head.

"It's all right, but 52% is too high, and if it really follows this share, Paramount will have to cut back on promotional spending in order to maintain a minimum profit. ”

"It's not good for either of us. ”

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Wei Xiong asked after a moment's hesitation, frowning.

In fact, he had already guessed Michael?? It was impossible for Eisner to promise to give him a 52% share, which was why he knowingly offered it.

It's just a sky-high asking price, and it's just a matter of paying back the money on the ground.
