DreamWorks (U.S. Branch), in Xu Cun's office.

At this moment, Xu Cun and Jeffrey are discussing the release of "" with a middle-aged white man.

The middle-aged white man is called Longmayer, and he is the current head of Universal Pictures.

"Longmayer, I'm sorry to say that Universal Pictures is just a film company that mainly produces TV shows, and I am very skeptical about your distribution capabilities." Xu Cun said bluntly.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, you shouldn't doubt Universal's distribution capabilities, Jaws is just a thriller, but Universal Pictures has allowed it to have nearly half a billion dollars at the box office." Longmayer argued.

"But 'The Big Shark' wasn't released by Longmayer, did it?" Xu Cun spread his hands and said.

"I'm a part of it, too." Longmayer argued.

"Okay, Longmayer, let's talk openly and honestly, you just became the general manager of Universal Pictures, and you need a score to stabilize your position, which is understandable. But what I needed was an experienced or competent distributor to distribute "Films", such as MGM or my old buddy Twentieth Century Fox. So, frankly, in order to get the distribution rights to "", you have to have enough reasons to convince me. Xu Cun said.

"It's true that I'm a newcomer and lack experience, but it's precisely because I'm a newcomer that I will go all out for the sake of results, which is incomparable to those who already have achievements." Longmayer said.

"Your eloquence is good, this one is barely one." Xu Cun said.

"My current boss is the Japanese company Matsushita Electric, although the people on the board of directors don't know much about movies, but they are very confident in Mr. Xu, and they are willing to allocate the highest publicity money to promote "", which must be a condition that other film companies do not have." Longmayer added.

"This one counts as one." Xu Cun nodded.

"Mr. Xu and my boss are both Asian, and you both want to establish themselves in Hollywood, I think you should unite and at least help each other......"

"People are equal to each other, and in my eyes, Asians are no different from Europeans and Americans, and this does not count." Xu Cun interrupted Longmeyer.

Xu Cun is not a rookie, and of course he can't take on this kind of sensitive topic that may lead to trouble - he doesn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to himself because his mouth is not strict!

Longmayer shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Mr. Xu was still a Buddhist. ”

In this regard, Xu Cun did not explain, nor did he speak—he was waiting, waiting for Longmayer to show his real hole cards.

Seeing that Xu Cun didn't speak, Longmeyer said a little frustratedly: "I really can't figure it out, why are you so difficult at a young age!" Then, Longmayer sat up straight and said, "I've heard from reliable sources that so far, Paramount has given Mr. Xu the highest percentage of box office allocation, 22.5 percent...... We at Universal Pictures are willing to give you 23% of the box office for Mr. Xu. ”

"It's only 0.5, and with a box office of $100 million, I can get an extra $500,000 share, which is not enough for me to hand over "" to you, a newcomer, for distribution." Xu Cun said quietly.

"Mr. Xu, this is the highest percentage I can give you, and to be honest, it is impossible to give a nascent non-local producer too high a percentage of the box office in Hollywood." Longmayer was provocative.

"In other words, you're not going to give me more than 30 percent of the box office anyway?" Xu Cun said leisurely.

"Mr. Xu, I have to remind you, it's not thirty percent, it's twenty-three percent." Longmayer said.

"Hmm...... That's a pity, I can only say......" Xu Cun pretended to reject Longmeyer.

"Okay, you win, twenty-four percent, I need the distribution rights of "", but I only give twenty-four, if the price is higher, I'll give up." Longmeyer said resolutely.

"I'll pay all the distribution fees, and I want 35 percent." Xu Cun said suddenly.

Longmayer didn't expect Xu Cun to play cards according to the routine, so he was stunned, and then he subconsciously said: "Oh, no! That's impossible! ”

"Thirty-four percent, no less." Xu Cun said in a resolute tone.

Longmayer looked at Xu Cun for a while before saying: "Mr. Xu, please believe me, if you want to cooperate with several large Hollywood film companies, you will never get more than 30% of the box office share, and the major film companies are not short of money, and they don't need you to share the distribution fee." ”

"But I really want more box office share, Longmayer, can you help me figure it out?" Xu Cundao.

"Oh, shit! Xu Cun, I find that I hate you a little! Longmayer rubbed his hair vigorously and said.

"If ''' can make Universal Pictures a lot of money, you'll love me again." Xu Cun smiled.

"Twenty-eight percent, you pay half of the issuance fee, this is the highest price I can offer!" Longmayer gasped for breath and said.

"Twenty-nine." Xu Cun bargained.

"Farewell!" Longmayer turned and walked away.

"Twenty-eight five, as long as you nod your head, draw up the contract immediately." Xu Cun sat in the same place.

After a moment's hesitation, Longmeyer turned his head back, and then he said with a very bad face: "Didn't you say that 100 million dollars at the box office can make an extra 500,000 dollars?" Then why are you still fighting for this 0.5? ”

"What if it's more than $100 million at the box office?" Xu Cun said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

……

"Mr. Ryder, I'm sorry to inform you that I've found a partner." Xu Cun called Alan Ryder Jr.

"Oh! Xu Cun, you can't do this! We're friends, aren't we? Alain Ryder Jr. roared angrily.

"But it's business, isn't it?" Xu Cun said slightly apologetically.

"Oh, shit! Xu Cun, you can't do this to a friend who once helped you! Alain Ryder Jr. said angrily.

"Well, friend, I know, I'm at fault in this matter, and I'll make it up to you." Xu Cundao.

"What compensation?" Alain Ryder Jr. asked in a softened tone.

"What about the copyright?" Xu Cun said with a smile.

"Oh, Xu Cun, I don't know what you mean by that?" Alain Ryder Jr. asked.

"To compensate you, my friend, I'm going to sell you the rights to ''." Xu Cun said.

In the previous life, "" never had a follow-up movie, because Spielberg's feelings for "" were too deep, he didn't want to make a sequel to "", and he clung to the copyright of "", and others couldn't make it.

Xu Cun is not Spielberg, and he has no feelings for "". Therefore, he doesn't mind using the copyright of "" to get more benefits at all.

"All copyrights?" Alain Ryder Jr. said with interest.

"All." Xu Cun replied very affirmatively.

"How much?" Alain Ryder Jr. asked.

Xu Cun smiled and said: "My friend, not now, but after the box office results of "" are out. Only then can we negotiate a fair price, right? ”
