Chapter 349: Big Delivery

Li Mo pressed Julie's head and didn't let her lift her feet to kiss her face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then, he hugged a few people, casually talked about it, and sent Julie's father, Mila's parents, and Zoffman's wife away.

He looked at the three little ones who were eager to try, they were not too young, according to the imaginary age, they were all fourteen years old, and foreign girls developed early and already knew a lot.

Li Mo patiently explained the etiquette and habits of the Chinese side. Of course, even in the eighties, it will not be as serious as in ancient times, men and women are not close, but meeting is just shaking hands, hugging and kissing something, for ordinary Chinese, too advanced, don't scare Li Mo's younger brothers and sisters.

The intention of taking the three little girls over is that this group of children is about the same age, Julie and Mila have not learned Chinese, but Charlize has begun to learn Chinese, and the children of Li Mo's family have all learned English, so everyone can learn each other's language together.

In addition, several children in Li Mo's family have brought summer homework, and students in the United States do not have summer homework, but the school will recommend or require students to do some extracurricular reading, and the methods of class are completely different, these exchanges are helpful to everyone.

Julie and Mira's parents are optimistic.

Does it matter if it helps?

As long as I can stay with Li Mo, it will be the greatest help.

As for what happens? They wish it would happen.

Under the guidance of Li Mo, several children got to know each other and introduced themselves.

Julie asked, "Lee, when can I make a movie?"

"Wait until you're older. Li Mo said.

To be precise, she is the same as Mira, when she was a child, she can only say that she looks okay, not too amazing, but the more she grows up, the more amazing it becomes. Charlize is the same, although he looks good, his body has not yet grown, and he still looks timid, and he can't see the later queen style at all.

If you want to be on the big screen, it's best to be after the age of 20...... Li Mo asked Charlize again, "Have your parents come to visit you?"

"I came some time ago...... "Charlize said disappointedly, and after only two days, her parents went back.

Li Mo didn't say much, let them play on the side, and he began to work.

This line has a time schedule, and it was originally to cooperate with MGM to edit this movie in the past few days, but Li Mo asked them to make up for it.

So Li Mo did one thing.

He did this for several reasons, one is to underestimate Hollywood's current desire for good ideas, without good ideas, the box office does not seem to be very good, and they dare not invest in filming, or it is a small investment, even if it is lost, it will not affect the operation of the company.

Second, he found that if the actor and director were changed, the movie would be made in a different way, which would cause a lot of risks.

The best way is to try to find out the original cast as much as possible, and point out on the side by yourself, it may not be better than the original movie, but I believe it will not get worse.

Especially for some movies, such as Resident Evil, if the outline of the entire series is written from the beginning, then not only will it not be chaotic, but it will also arouse the audience's desire to continue watching.

is also like an interstellar legend, at least he knows where the success is and where the failure is, so after the adaptation, a series of movies will not fail.

This requires me to think back to more of the old movies in my head, and the old movies he refers to are some good movies a few years later, that is, in the nineties. The timing is just right......

The third is that the rain man reminded him of some independent or only two big movies, anyway, he was waiting for several major film companies to collect and send the actor and director information, so Li Mo copied the story outline of more than a dozen movies.

Dances with Wolves, Ghost Love, Sleeping with the Enemy, Apollo Thirteen, Tornado, Independence Day, Extreme Agent, I'm Crazy for Mary, The Sixth Sense, Queen Wears Prada, Planet of the Apes, Perfect Storm, Forrest Gump, most of them are single-part, but some have already published novels, such as Dances with Wolves, Forrest Gump, this is easy to solve, Li Mo is also willing to spend money, and he didn't let Hollick and Xerfman come forward, just they sent a few subordinates, and they took all the copyrights down within two days.

Of course, it costs a lot of money, but for these high-quality copyrights, Li Mo has always been very fair, even if the author underestimates it, Li Mo will give them a relatively high price. Besides, is that a lot of money compared to what you get in return?

A few days later, looking at the outline he had written, Li Mo thought with satisfaction that if he successfully acquired Marvel again, he could say out loud that sixty percent of Hollywood was his own.

Li Mo sorted out these ideas one by one, and then checked the materials sent by various film companies.

They were summoned one by one, and they came together, and it was not good to talk about it at all, Li Mo didn't count the film copyright fees now, and he didn't bother to listen to these people arguing.

First Fox and Columbia.

Li Mo looked at the representatives sent by Fox, their boss was Murdoch, who it was, Li Mo didn't care, and after Fox was acquired by Murdoch, Murdoch bought six more TV stations, united 105 independent TV stations, and established a Fox broadcast network.

What Li Mo authorized them was the TV adaptation rights of "The Simpsons" and the production rights of animated movies, but Li Mo made strict restrictions on the production of animated films, that is, Li Mo looked at the degree of technological innovation, and when it could be produced, it must be agreed by Li Mo.

The representative of Fox immediately nodded in surprise, everyone knows this rule...... For Fox, movies are important, and television is even more important.

Li Mo gave a more detailed outline, not only the novel that has already been released, but also the detailed settings, character portraits, and the approximate story content of the TV series in each season of Li Mo's previous life.

With it, as long as you invite a few qualified directors and screenwriters, a best-selling animated TV series will come out.

The Fox representatives were even more surprised, because they sent people to the Writers Guild of America to inspect the scripts registered by Li Mo...... Although Li Mo is shameless in doing this, various film companies can understand that if Li Mo didn't do this, he would have been ready to copy Li Mo's ideas.

They took a fancy to this book at a glance, and after analysis, if this script is filmed well, it can produce multiple seasons and hundreds of episodes of animated series.

"Lee, you really are the best collaborator in the legend...... I wonder what we have to pay for Fox?"

Suffman pushed another contract.

The contract is divided into two parts, one part is a TV series, Li Mo does not contribute or dividends, but retains the rights and interests of all derivatives and game adaptations. Part of it is a big movie, Li Mo invests and dividends, in addition, the dividend ratio of derivatives, and some other rights and interests.

It's not too much to ask, and if you're not satisfied, you can leave, some are partners.

The transfer of royalties is also relatively low, still the same, only one million dollars, which is actually equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

Two of Fox's top representatives immediately signed their names to the contract.

Li Mo took out a detailed story outline, which was very detailed as a story outline, but it was not qualified enough as a script. But with this detailed story outline, it is very easy to change it into a script, and what things need to be paid attention to during filming, Li Mo can remember, and he has written them down one by one.

As for what the novel looks like, Li Mo didn't read it at all, didn't have time to read it, and didn't need to read it, the reason why he asked someone to write a novel was nothing more than grabbing intellectual property rights.

It was "Pretty Woman", and the original production company was Disney, but Li Mo couldn't remember it, so he handed it over to Fox to balance. From the current project to the start of filming, it is estimated that it will not be released until next spring.

But this movie, through the information sent by various film companies, allowed him to find the director and the actor, the actor is Richard Gere, the director is Gary Marshall, and the heroine is needless to say that the big-mouthed Roberts, and Li Mo has several scripts in his hands that will have to ask this director to shoot in the future.

There may be slight changes, but after the shooting, Li Mo still has to review the editing, so there will be no problems.

What are the other contributions and dividends, basically the same as before, the two sides talked for a while, Li Mo contributed 35%, and the dividend was 28%, in addition, Li Mo also asked Yili to sponsor two million, implant Yili's advertisement, and also make a little bit of insert advertising, such as the shooting of the hotel, and the insertion of some food and drink products. In addition, these people are not very famous, and if they are operated properly, the production cost can be reduced to millions of dollars.

In addition, there is a new clause, that is, Li Mo is short of time, after filming, if he is in the magic capital, he will be sent to the magic capital immediately, and Li Mo will watch this movie in the magic capital, and put forward some suggestions, including editing suggestions.

Of course, the big sale of Jurassic Park and the increase in his own wealth also gave Li Mo more asking capital.

Li Mo said solemnly: "Don't underestimate this script, if it is filmed, it will bring you Fox an unexpected surprise." ”

The representative of Fox is not too convinced, but after this novel came out, not only did it sell well, many film companies took a fancy to it, the production cost was small, and it could be a big hit, and in some ways, Li Mo gave it to Fox, which was a big surprise in itself.

Li Mo gave them another book, Edward Scissorhands, it doesn't matter when it will be filmed, but the director must ask the well-known director Tim Burton to direct, and the protagonist must be Depp, in addition, it is recommended that they release it next Christmas after filming.

This book seems to be okay.,Like the pretty woman.,The production cost is not too small.,But it can only be regarded as medium-sized.。 Although Li Mo also has strict requirements for the cost of publicity and distribution, it is only 10 million, but this cost is acceptable.

"And ......"

"No, it's impossible for me to release all the scripts together, only seven or eight scripts will be released this year, and in the future, depending on the situation, the rights and interests of these scripts and films will be released to your various companies, I still say the same thing, this bowl of water, I try my best to be even. ”

Then it's hard to ask for it again.

In fact, when the two left the hotel with the contract, script, and story outline, their faces were full of joy.

In terms of gain, it is indeed their biggest gain this time, no matter what, Li Mo still doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Murdoch.

Li Mo took out another script, looked at the representative of Columbia and said: "If the story given to Fox just now is well filmed, it may be a small monster, and this story is also a small monster, but I don't want two monsters to collide together......"

"You mean staggered?"

"It's best to stagger the time for two months," Li Mo took out the book "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", he laughed in his heart, these movies will be released one after another next year, and the judges of the Oscars will have a headache the year after tomorrow. Even if they were Chinese, they had ideas at that time, but did they dare not give awards to these films?

This is also a big IP, but it didn't take long for Li Mo to get it out, and no one outside knew about it.

The representatives of Colombia looked at the script, and the more they read it, the happier they became, and they said, "Lee, this script is even better than the one just now." ”

"So don't crash your cars...... Well, here's the contract," Limer took a contract from Sevman and pushed it to them.

The rest is similar to the contract just now, or capital contributions and dividends, and the representative of Columbia decided to let Li Mo contribute 35% and dividends 28%, just like Fox. The copyright fee is still one million dollars, the director is Jerry Zucker, Bruce Joy Robin is the screenwriter, and the starring roles are Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony, if it weren't for the various film companies to send the information of each director and actor, Li Mo would not have remembered these names at all.

Even if I have the information, I still can't remember a lot, especially what the screenwriter is.

But basically it can keep the "original flavor".

The reason doesn't need to be explained, the representatives of the two film companies "understand", this is Li Mo's selection of directors and actors according to various styles. In case you pick the wrong eye...... Well, Li Mo picked the wrong eye, so with the gap between other people's IQ and him, he can pick the wrong eye even more.

After sending off the representatives of the two companies, Li Mo invited representatives from Disney, Disney CEO Michael Eisner came over in person, and the Pirates of the Caribbean got caught in their fishy smell and tried to get a little cheap from Li Mo.

Li Mo crossed his legs and said, "Eisner, open the conditions." But while opening the conditions, touch your conscience. ”

Eisner said, "Lee, we're good friends......"

"Eisner, the reason why I put out so many stories is that it's a win-win situation, you win more, I win very little. ”

On the surface, this is the case, but in fact it is not, Li Mo is making profits in all aspects, even if the profits are not as much as those of various film companies, but when they are superimposed, they are far more than the major film companies.

But Eisner had nothing to say, at least Li Mo was really not greedy, which made both sides feel very happy.

"Eisner, there are many stories, and it is inevitable that there will be collisions, that is, it will collide with your theme park, is it the portrait copyright collision, or the content of the story will collide with the car? Is it because you launched a Pirate of the Caribbean Park, the entire Caribbean-related stories, novels, and movies cannot be written or filmed? On the contrary, once the technology is supported, your theme park will benefit greatly. ”

However, Li Mo didn't want to tear up the copyright in the future, so he took the initiative to come up with a contract that increased the income from Disney derivatives, as for the game copyright, do you have a game industry?

In terms of box office dividends, Li Mo did not let it go anymore.

Eisner looked at the contract, didn't sign it, and said, "Lee, we at Disney have taken a fancy to ......"

"It's useless to fancy it, this time I only came up with seven stories, three of which have been given to Columbia and Fox, and four, one for each of your companies, but I gave you the best story. ”

"Which one?"

Li Mo took out the script of the little ghost, indeed, it is the best of the seven, not a single one, it has a total of ten, the remaining six are ticket works, only four are authentic, Li Mo took out these four scripts, if the four movies are well made, their box office accumulation is also an amazing number.

Eisner was a little unconvinced, but it turned out that the movie was just as troubled. If it weren't for Limer's push, Hollywood's gold-medal screenwriter John Hughes would have written the script for the film next spring, and he sent it to Warner. Warner didn't believe it would work out at all and switched to Fox again...... But now that Li Mo has been replaced, the pretty woman ran to Fox, and the home alone ran to Disney.

Fox took a fancy to it and hired Chris Columbus to direct the work, which is also the only film in Limer's works that did not specify an actor, but did designate a screenwriter.

"He who believes in me will not live forever, but he will make money. ”

Eisner signed the contract in a hesitant manner, and asked Li Mo to indicate a clause on the contract that if the movie loses money, Disney will choose a good book next time, instead of Li Mo specifying.

Only then did Li Mo invite Warner, Universal, and Paramount, and took out the remaining three scripts and selected them by themselves.

Sure enough, he likes dark themes, Warner immediately picked "Sleeping with the Enemy", Paramount wanted to cheer up, and chose the big production "Dances with Wolves", and Universal chose "Strange Jack in Disguise".

Li Mo repeatedly told them to stagger the schedule as much as possible, but no matter how wrong they are, next year is destined to be an unquiet year for Hollywood, because next year there will be Warner's Batman, Back to the Future (2), Boom Cannon (2), Paramount's "Raiders of the Lost Ark: Holy War", Colombia's "Ghostbusters", Disney's "Peewee Pixies", and Columbia's "Ghostbusters...... This was originally normal, but Li Mosheng stuffed it with Pretty Woman, Edward Scissorhands, Ghost Love, Home Alone, Sleeping with the enemy, Dancing with Wolves, and Strange Heroes in Disguise, and then the entire film market became unprecedentedly miserable, and some small-scale movies didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.

Seeing that it was not good, Paramount and Warner immediately teamed up to postpone the release of Dancing with the Enemy and Dancing with Wolves until the following year.

Especially Warner, there are three blockbusters to be released next year, and if you can't get your company's movies, you will start an internal fight.

However, other companies didn't care, so five blockbusters were released one after another.

Some are okay, and some are obviously a good film, but they were hit by these movies and bled out. Including Universal's Dreamlands, Warner's Raging Tiger and Dragon, Fox's Abyss, MGM's 007 Murder License......

These are high-cost blockbusters, and every time they pounce, every film company is bleeding in their hearts. Especially the abyss of Lao Ka, which was not good at the box office in his previous life, happened to collide with the ghost of Columbia, looking at the box office, Lao Ka and Fox almost cried. MGM is also miserable, 007 series, which one will cost less? But it happened to collide with the little ghost, and the handsome guy 007 was beaten by a doll and couldn't be defeated. Columbia's Ghostbusters (2) brought Universal's disguised monsters to tears...... There is also a blockbuster Christmas movie, watching an ugly robot played by Depp making waves, and he is also speechless.

This year, several film companies have been strongly impacted by these films.

Several film companies learned from the pain, sat down together to discuss countermeasures, and in the spring of the following year, they formulated a ridiculous internal law, also known as the Limer Act......

Li Mo doesn't know this, but he knows that next year will be the year he becomes a god in Hollywood.
