Tom. Thornberg was not surprised at all, as he had expected to meet Eric when he arrived. Lomis's possibility.

However, he didn't expect to meet Nicky from the world here. Rocco, see Nicky. Rocco knew what the other party wanted to do.

Universal is not MGM, and Universal Pictures is in a much better position than MGM.

Both the operation and the capital are far better, this year's "Fake God", "Hulk", "Fast and Furious 2", "Pentium Age", and "American Pie: American Wedding" have five films exceeding 100 million.

It is the most box office of more than 100 million films among Hollywood studios this year, and the future is bright.

So Universal is not bad for money, and if Universal competes with him and MGM for Chen Tian, this is not good news.

Eric. Lomis had a smile on his face, but he was uneasy in his heart.

He and Tom. Thornberg thinks the same thing, not to mention that he also has to worry about Lionsgate.

Of the three companies, MGM is undoubtedly the weakest.

Chen Tian himself didn't expect that Universal would come here directly to find him, without any warning before.

"Nicky, Tom, how did you two get here and want a cup of coffee?" Eric. Lomis asked with a smile.

Nicky. Rocco smiled and shrugged: "If you have a treat, I will definitely be willing." ”

"Of course, I'm in for a treat, Tom, what about you?"

"I'm fine, I think we might have the same purpose, and if the three of us talk together, maybe we can solve some problems."

Tom. Thornberg guessed right, they all came for "This Man is from Earth".

Although none of the three of them have seen this film yet, Chen Tian has now accumulated his own reputation. It feels like this film will definitely not be bad.

Eric. Lomis nodded. Said to Chen Tian: "Justin." I'll leave it to yourself, you're welcome.

They'll all help you, and if you need anything, go straight to Brown, who's in charge here. ”

"Eric don't worry, it's an honor to serve Director Justin."

Chen Tian watched the three of them leave with a smile, and he knew in his heart what they were thinking.

Natalie. Portman nudged Scarlett, "Mannie, is your Justin telling us how sought-after he is?" ”

Scarlett saw three big companies coming to Chen Tian, and she was also happy for Chen Tian in her heart.

"Nata. Are you laughing at me? I want to make it clear that I will shoot your music video first, and Mannie and I will also be involved in it. Chen Tian wanted Scarlett to play another male character in the original MV.

And Chen Tian is ready to play the role of the host of the original "Saturday Night Show", and everything is ready in the set studio.

Inside Natalie. Portman's performance needs to be wild, and the short hair style in the original MV is classic.

Actually, Natalie. Portman's short hair style is even as good as her long hairstyle, and she is also very elegant and charming when she has short hair.

Chen Tian plans to let her style her short hair in this MV as well, but here he won't let Natalie. Portman shaved his hair short for this music video.

"Nata, wait a minute, I need you to wear a short hair hood, you should read the specific script, and we'll shoot later."

Natalie. Portman nodded, "No problem. Actually, if it's possible.

I think it's better to just shave my hair short, I hate head coverings. ”

This MV shooting didn't take long. That's just six minutes.

However, the number of participants and the scale are not small, and there are many Natalie in it. The scene where Portman smashes things, despite being in a set studio, is not cheap either.

The cost of this MV was budgeted at $30,000, which was still built on the set provided by MGM for free.

And the cost of Scarlett's MV is not so high, and there are only five or six extras needed, although there are a lot of props, there is no need to destroy things.

While Chen Tian was filming the music video, the mid-level administrators of three film companies in a nearby café were sitting by the window and talking.

"Nicky, you're not missing a Justin, and don't you hate him?

You must have been opposed by a lot of people this time, and they must have come up with a similar sharing deal to Justin. "Eric. Lomis asked with a smile.

Nicky. Rocco pouted: "Eric, what do you say?" That's for sure. ”

"That must be a headache, isn't it?" Tom. Thornberg replied with a smile.

"If you don't have a headache, it's definitely fake, like Justin said, if someone can guarantee a corresponding profit, I don't mind giving him a sharing agreement like this.

I'm going to implement a plan that may be a reference for you to solve this problem. ”

Nicky. Rocco's plan was conceived by him in order to deal with those who proposed the Chen Tian sharing agreement. Rocco continued: "I'm ready to sign contracts with people I think I'm reluctant to give up, but they don't compromise and just want a high score.

For example, if they bring a film, I think it's good, and they don't agree to our previous sharing agreement, so I'll agree to them first.

But if you agree to sign a contract at the same time, you must reach a profit point to get a share that meets the sharing agreement.

If he can't do it, then he won't be given such a high share, and he will even get a lower contract than the agreement I am willing to give.

Everything is rewarded only if you pay for it, and they need to pay a certain amount of risk if they want to get a higher share agreement.

I let them choose, and if they choose to take the risk, OK, I don't have anything to say, and it's not in my control how much they get after the worst.

What do you guys think of this idea? Isn't it not bad? ”

"Aren't you worried that they won't agree and go to another company?" Ike. The two films Lomis talked about recently collapsed and went straight to other companies.

Nicky. Rocco's idea is really good, take the initiative in his own hands, and once the other party can't bring the corresponding profits to the company, he doesn't need to pay more.

"Nicky, you've got a great idea. All right. Let's not talk about other topics.

I'm here on behalf of Lionsgate for the distribution rights to "This Man Is From Earth." "Tom. Thornberg didn't want to go around in circles. The purpose of the trip was directly clarified.

"Well, I'm here for that, too.

I heard that Justin was going to shoot the music video here today, so I came uninvited, Erik, this is your territory. "Nicky. Rocco waved his hand apologetically.

Ike. Lomis let out a sigh of relief, and things were the same as he had imagined: "It seems that we have the same idea, Tom actually I have a suggestion, that is, the three of us make a decision first." This avoids more losses.

Truth be told, if the three of us were to approach Justin alone, then we would be in a passive position.

If the three of us reach a consensus here, for example, Tom's bid that the two of us can't accept, then we can just withdraw.

Tom could have been as little as possible, couldn't he? ”

Tom. Thornberg felt that Eric. Lomis is right, the sharing agreement opened in order to let Chen Tian re-cooperate was very high, but it does not mean that Lionsgate will always follow this standard.

"We've already given the highest share deal in Saw Horror, and it couldn't be higher.

However, this film is a low-budget sci-fi film, and the sharing agreement will not be higher than the chainsaw. This is our worst back-up chip. ”

"You've all had precedents for working with Justin, and I'm a newcomer. And we are not bad at the world.

But you know that we will never be satisfied in this business, so I want to try it too.

The highest chip we can give is Lionsgate, but it's too high, and it would be better if we could lower it. "Nicky. Rocco also came to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Chen Tian.

He hopes that "This Man is from Earth" will become a stepping stone to cooperation, and for Universal, it does not necessarily need Chen Tian's own investment in the film.

Universal has no shortage of good scripts, or even good directors, but not every director can save money and bring high returns like Chen Tian.

And Chen Tian is very good at thriller shooting, and Universal hopes to hand over the thriller "Master Key" to Chen Tian and let Chen Tian shoot it.

If the opportunity is right, some other films will be given to Chen Tian to shoot, this is Nicky. The biggest purpose of Rocco's trip.

Eric. Lomis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the chips of the two, neither of them was too outrageous.

However, it is indeed not easy to get MGM to open the Lionsgate to Chen Tian and give the chainsaw sharing agreement, and those idiots at the top will definitely not agree.

Chen Tian looked at the monitor, and Natalie, who had short hair under the monitor. Portman danced a little exaggeratedly, singing rap as he danced.

This time, Chen Tian still imitated the original MV, and the main content Chen Tian was still ready to use black and white lenses.

This gives it the feel of a documentary, but it is more realistic, even though it is not in color.

He reached out to NBC last night to emulate the original film's "Saturday Night Live" interview model.

Of course, there is also a reason because there is a lyric in it related to making a joke about the president of NBC, and NBC agrees with the lyrics.

They asked to broadcast it on the NBC platform, but NBC will pay Chen Tian $1 million to buy out the distribution rights of the TV platform.

At the same time, the MV sponsorship was added to the MV, which Chen Tian agreed to all.

Chen Tian didn't know that at this moment, the people of the three companies were discussing how to minimize the benefits paid to Chen Tian on the basis of successful cooperation.

After the three of them reached an agreement, they left for a while, and they waited for "This Man from Earth" to finally come out.

And Chen Tian was filming the MV on the set, and the progress was also very fast, and Natalie was completed at two o'clock in the afternoon. Portman's MV shoot.

And in Natalie. Portman's MV is equivalent to a cameo in the MV, and Chen Tian will play the role of the paparazzi in Scarlett's MV.

The corresponding Scarlett's MV is simpler, and it took four hours to shoot both MVs.

Chen Tian also officially announced on his official website that "This Man is from Earth" will be released in half a month.

At the same time announced Natalie. Portman and Scarlett. Johnson's music debut will be officially released in three days. (To be continued......)
