Chapter 282: Betting

After Zhang Junyi finished speaking, he stopped speaking, picked up the cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of him and continued to drink calmly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, Alain Ryder Jr., who is now sitting across from Zhang Junyi, wanted to agree immediately, and to be honest, the gambling conditions proposed by Zhang Junyi were simply too attractive, and Alain Ryder Jr. felt that such a gambling condition would be beneficial to their Twentieth Century Fox.

Zhang Junyi's guess just now was right, although Alain Ryder did not say the most realistic data for the estimated box office of "Home Alone" at the beginning, it was also eight points true, and the global box office estimated by the distribution department after watching the finished film of "Home Alone" was between 100 million and 120 million US dollars, so Alain Ryder Jr. was so shocked by the gambling conditions that Zhang Junyi had just proposed.

However, for the sake of insurance, Alain Ryder Jr. still did not immediately agree to Zhang Junyi's conditions, although Alan Ryder Jr. felt that Zhang Junyi's gambling conditions seemed ridiculous and were very beneficial to his side, but he was careful and decided to hold a meeting to discuss it.

The strict character of a person in power like Alain Ryder Jr. is not to say that it is bad, to use an old Chinese saying, this kind of person is only suitable for defending the city and not for expanding the territory.

After all, the saying that shopping malls are like battlefields is not a casual saying, and at any time, if the person in power delays business opportunities because of his personality, it may lead to very serious consequences.

Of course, the cautious character of Alain Ryder Jr. also has his good side, although he lacks a certain amount of courage, but he will not lead to bad consequences because of the impulsiveness of the moment.

Therefore, whether a person in power like Alain Ryder Jr. is good or bad about Twentieth Century Fox will vary from person to person, and different people will always have different perspectives on the good or bad of a thing, and the same is true for a company, after all, pioneering and stability cannot be exhaustive.

At this time, the reason why Alain Ryder Jr. hesitated was not only because he was afraid that there was something abnormal about Zhang Junyi's outstanding gambling agreement, but also because he had other concerns.

It is precisely because the conditions proposed by Zhang Junyi are too generous, so Alain Ryder Jr. also has the intention of letting Zhang Junyi calm down a little before making plans, after all, Zhang Junyi sitting opposite him is not simply a filmmaker's identity, in the view of Alan Ryder Jr., movies have always been a big toy for Zhang Junyi, and Zhang Junyi's main business is still in the publishing house and toy company.

Of course, because the time is too cramped, the current little Alain Ryder still does not know Zhang Junyi's specific net worth and his ability to turn over the rivers and seas in the financial market, but even so, coupled with the attitude of Bush Sr. and others towards Zhang Junyi at the party some time ago, it is enough to see that Zhang Junyi is not simple in some aspects.

After all, the same CASE will lead to different cooperation conditions due to the different status of the other party. This is not only applicable in China, but also in any country in the world, and the status of the collaborators will often determine the difference in the direction of the whole cooperation.

In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to imagine, for a simple example, if a small company develops a product that is valued by a large company with a monopoly position in the industry, then the newly developed product will only be bought out by the large company, and even the company is likely to be acquired. If this product is developed by a company of the same status, then the role that this product can play will be very different, and the end result can only be two companies working together to make money together.

Ryder hesitated for a few minutes, and finally said, "Zhang, I still need to have a meeting to discuss this matter, and I hope you are also thinking about it, I don't want to break down our friendship because of your lack of calm for a while, we will decide this matter tomorrow, okay?"

After hearing this, Zhang Junyi nodded, and chatted with little Alain Ryder for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

When he came to the parking lot, Zhang Junyi did not let the bodyguard get into his car again, but wanted to drive himself.

Through the conversation just now, Zhang Junyi knew that this matter was basically inseparable, so at this time, Zhang Junyi was already immersed in the excitement of digging a pit for Twentieth Century Fox, and the blood in his body had a feeling that it was flowing faster than usual.

In fact, even with this VAM agreement, the benefits that "Home Alone" ultimately brought to Zhang Junyi were far less than the profits brought to him in the financial market, but Zhang Junyi's excitement at this time was much higher than at other times.

After all, the follow-up caused by the two achievements is not the same, Zhang Junyi regards the gains in the financial market as just a cash machine for his own business, and the use of it is just the golden finger of the memory of his previous life.

As for the movie, although it is also a golden finger that uses the memories of his previous life, the result is completely different, because after the success of the movie, what he gains is to be able to make up for the growth of his future enterprise.

The gold finger will always run out one day, and only by making your business grow stronger and stronger with the passage of time can you protect yourself more favorably when the gold finger disappears in the future.

The problem of the release of the movie has finally been solved, and the conditions for the harvest are greatly beyond my previous expectations. Although the time period of the release of "Home Alone" is different from the time period in his previous life, Zhang Junyi knows that it is nothing, you must know that the global box office of "Home Alone" in his previous life has swept the entire North America and even the world.

The quality of this "Home Alone" led by himself in this life is undoubtedly much better than in the previous life, although it is not released during the Christmas period, but the summer file is also a good time period for the whole family to watch the movie together, coupled with the average publicity methods promised by Alain Ryder Jr. that is not inferior to that of Twentieth Century Fox and the backlash of fans after the physical novel is released, even if the reasons for monetary inflation in different years are counted, Zhang Junyi does not believe that the box office of his "Home Alone" will be much worse than in his previous life.

Originally, before meeting Alain Ryder Jr. and his Twentieth Century Fox today, all Zhang Junyi wanted was to be able to make his first film in Hollywood and release it according to the normal process, even if he achieved his expected goal.

I didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise, at first I didn't think about how to fight for my own maximum benefit, after all, this is just my first movie, and I can get the attention of Alain Ryder Jr., or because of my status at the party some time ago.

Therefore, for the sharing agreement of his own movie, Zhang Junyi has no illusion of getting any super high share at all, according to the normal sharing negotiation, his "Home Alone" can only get 20% of the box office share at most, these things I have learned before.

Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and I thought of a gambling-style gambling agreement, this method of making the division float is definitely an unexpected gain for me, of course, this hole can only be filled by Twentieth Century Fox to help Zhang Junyi in the end.

In the United States, VAM agreements are very common, including in the Hollywood film industry, and usually, from different perspectives, it is a win-win situation, and both parties can avoid risks while striving for their own maximum benefits.

If you calculate according to the final global box office of "Home Alone" in the previous life of 530 million US dollars, then you will definitely be able to get a pretty good box office share.

100 million to 200 million 200 percent of the box office share, and then every more than 100 million box office will increase by 5 percent of the box office share, that is to say, 300 million US dollars is 25 percent, 400 million dollars is 30 percent, 500 million dollars is 35 percent of the share, and the 35 percent share is almost comparable to the conditions of the top Hollywood producers.

Judging from the conversation he just had with Alain Ryder Jr., Zhang Junyi estimated that 100% of the 20th Century Fox would enter the pit tomorrow.

At this time, Zhang Junyi sat in the driver's seat with a somewhat narcissistic and happy expression, if outsiders saw it, they would definitely think that he was a patient with paranoia, and the symptoms were not mild!

。。。。。。 Golden Section 。。。。。。。

A conference room at Twentieth Century Fox Films.

“。。。。。。 Of course, what I want to explain here is that I don't want any of my attitudes to affect the judgment of everyone here, although Zhang's status is not ordinary, but business is business, and we just need to put Zhang on an equal footing, and there will be no problem!" Alain Ryder Jr. first recounted the contents of the VAM agreement just now proposed by Zhang Junyi, and then sat in his exclusive seat and waited for the professional opinions of the participants in the meeting.

After Alain Ryder Jr. finished speaking, most of the executives in the conference room were a little incredulous, not only Alain Ryder Jr. felt crazy about Zhang Junyi's proposal, but even the executives of Twentieth Century Fox felt that Zhang Junyi's proposal was too confident after listening to it.

Although everyone thinks that "Home Alone" is a good film after watching the film, no matter how good it is, this movie is not a big production, not even a medium-scale production, so they even think that Zhang Junyi has a problem with his brain before he proposes this gambling agreement that seems to be unsuccessful.

After a moment of noise, the conference room regained its quietness, and after a while, a Twentieth Century Fox executive said: "This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing is definitely good news for our Twentieth Century Fox, of course we must agree, after all, no matter what the final result is, this is the one Zhang himself proposed, and our Twentieth Century Fox has nothing unfair treatment for him!"

After hearing this, everyone in the conference room also agreed with it, after all, except for Zhang Junyi, the only person who traveled, no one was optimistic that this "Home Alone" could exceed 150 million at the box office, and everyone here had already imagined that they could win this movie that looked pretty good without spending the last penny.

On the contrary, Alain Ryder Jr., who was sitting in the first place, always felt that something was wrong, although this gambling agreement seemed to have all the advantages on his side, but Alan Ryder Jr. didn't know why, he always felt a little flustered, and felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.

Although I haven't been in contact with Zhang Junyi for a long time, and I have only met twice today, through conversation, for this young man who doesn't look like he is yet twenty years old, except for the very crazy gambling agreement proposed, the feeling that other places give him is definitely more calm than his peers, how could such a person make such an unrealistic proposal?

As for Zhang Junyi's thoughts, Alain Ryder Jr. couldn't figure it out, after all, Alan Ryder Jr. was not a time-traveling person, and he didn't predict the future of Goldfinger, so no matter how much he thought about it, it was impossible to guess how big the pit Zhang Junyi dug for him was.

Although Alain Ryder Jr.'s work attitude is cautious, believing that there is no free lunch in the world, let alone falling out of pie, but killing Alan Ryder Jr., he can't predict how explosive this "Home Alone" will be when it really bursts into its potential.

Seeing little Alain Ryder sitting in his seat thinking about something, the conference room returned to silence again, and everyone present was silent, and after a while, little Alain Ryder made up his mind and said: "Okay, since everyone agrees to this gambling agreement, then let's stop here today, dismiss the meeting!"

In the end, no matter how cautious Alain Ryder was and decided to agree, Alain Ryder Jr. also felt that he was a little too conservative at this time, after all, as a member of the capitalist, Alain Ryder Jr. was also greedy, and thinking about the interests of the company was his first choice.

It's just that Alain Ryder never imagined that his momentary greed would make a big hole for his company in the next few months, and of course this is all for later.

But in the end, Twentieth Century Fox still made money, but it could have made more.

When Zhang Junyi was still driving, the brick phone on the car remembered, and after Zhang Junyi answered, he heard the notice of Alain Ryder Jr. accepting the VAM agreement, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed so weird with a hint of playfulness.
