After a moment of silence in the room, Katzenberg said, "The stakes are too high, and failure will directly affect DreamWorks." Although he had an opinion, he did not deny it.

Chen Tiandu added: "The best way to reduce risk is to attract a few more investors. Maybe Paramount, Disney, Warner, and other bigwigs will be interested in me. ”

Spielberg finally opened his mouth, "I'll give you my opinion. I'm in favor of investing in this film, but not all. The specific investment budget will be discussed after professional analysis. ”

Finally took the first step, and the two returned home after a busy day. Chen Tiandu picked up the water cup and poured it into his mouth, and after talking for so long, he didn't feel thirsty until he went home.

Kate asked, "How was it today, was there any gain?" ”

"Of course, DreamWorks has already promised to invest." Chen Tiandu said: "But the investment budget I gave is a bit too much, which scares them, and it may have to be delayed for a while." ”

"It's good to have a harvest. That's the case with big companies. Before the start of filming, various risk analyses must be carried out, and they will not be able to come up with a risk figure that satisfies them, and they will not pay lightly. But even so, the movie that should be losing money is still losing money. Kate joked, and Chen Tiandu and the two agreed.

"By the way, Raven called and asked if you wanted to accept advertising endorsements, and there are several movies that invite you to audition?"

"What?" Chen Tiandu wondered. Raven is Kate's new agent, he knows, but is Raven asking him?

Kate said depressedly: "You don't have an agent, so if others can't contact you, you can only find my agent." ”

"Haha~~" Chen Tiandu said with a smile: "Then let Ruiwen be busy first, and help me select the endorsement or something first, and forget about the film invitation." I'm afraid I don't have much time. If you negotiate it for me, I'll give her a commission, well, just 5%. Warn her not to call me stingy behind my back, it's extra fast. ”

Kate was stunned.

The news quickly came back and Warner, Sony, Disney and Paramount were all interested in the film.

Chen Tiandu suddenly smiled, then the rest is to choose the best one.

What's a bit bad is that after the analysis of DreamWorks' professional budgeters, the budget of 90 million for "The Matrix" was reduced to 750 million. After many rounds of repeated bargaining, excluding Disney and Paramount, which were wide open to the lion, in the end, Warner gave the best conditions. They are willing to invest 15 million to jointly undertake the task of global travel, which will account for 25% of the box office revenue. DreamWorks is willing to invest 30 million to produce a production line to occupy 4o% of the box office revenue. Matrix Studios is responsible for the remaining 30 million, accounting for 35% of the box office revenue. This is also the proportion of film rights allocated.

Warner offered to need Steven Spielberg to be the film's producer, and he agreed.

This contract Warners is the most profitable, and they give less money, but they are the strongest. Of course Chen Tiandu didn't do it, the movie script was his, and he was the one who prepared the most for the movie, plus he invested the most, so he actually accounted for less, which makes no sense.

So the negotiations continued.

But the box office revenue really can't be moved much, even if it is repeatedly ripped off, it is a displacement of about 1%, which is not very meaningful. You can only start with the periphery. Warner has 3o% periphery, DreamWorks has 4o% periphery, and the matrix can have 3o% periphery.

This is a plan to make up for the box office loss from the periphery, and the matrix company is not good at the money-making ability around the film. This peripheral contract, of course, benefits them.

Chen Tiandu reluctantly agreed, but put forward a request, and all the rights to the sequel of the film belonged to him. DreamWorks and Warner hesitated, but Chen Tian stuck to the bottom line and finally agreed. There is also an insurance clause that if a sequel is to be made, the other two parties reserve the right to participate.

The three parties signed, and in this way, a large-scale film project jointly produced by three film companies with an investment budget of up to 750,000 US dollars was officially completed.

The next day, on the entertainment page of the Los Angeles Times, you can clearly see the headline information.

"Are you still talking about whether the director of "The Sixth Sense" will have a second work, you are outdated. His newly established Matrix Film Studio, together with Warner and DreamWorks, announced that a science fiction blockbuster film with an investment of up to $100 million was officially approved. Christmas Chan continues to serve as the film's director, starring, screenwriter, and co-producer. But it is obvious that DreamWorks is not too relieved about Christmas Chan, so it will shoot a strong lineup to escort it. The other producer of the film is none other than the great director Steven Spielberg......

The actual budget is 750,000 yuan, and it is claimed that 100 million yuan is a large system.

Before the film even started, the publicity had already begun, and this is the successful routine of large companies. They have succeeded in chaining the uncertain cultural industry of film, and in this chain operation, they can ensure that most of the films they invest in are profitable.

Chenlong's "Rush Hour" grossed $141 million in North America and $245 million worldwide. Chenlong's salary is 5oo thousand, and it is not clear whether there can be pink. This is Chenlong's best box office result in North America, but compared to another compatriot from the big 6, it is nothing.

"Americans are simply crazy, that movie didn't do much publicity at all, and it was able to push the box office to a height of 300 million, and the world also exceeded 600 million US dollars, which is simply unusual." Chenlong was also attracted by the constant praise of the media, and took the time to go to the cinema to watch it.

To be honest, he doesn't feel much, maybe the structure of the film is indeed very exquisite, but such a tepid horror movie is actually more appealing to Americans than action movies?! He said he didn't understand.

The country has long been boiling, and a Chinese opera student actually set a global annual box office champion, a mythical story?! Maybe Chen Tiandu is soft-spoken, or the domestic people don't believe it at all, and most of the media don't know whether to report it on a large scale or not, so it was only some marginal reports at first.

But as time passed, the box office of the movie became higher and higher, and the response in the United States was really strong, and it even became a popular movie for next year's Oscars. Naturally, the public's attention is getting higher and higher. After all, the "Titanic" released this year is too amazing, and a movie has collected 360 million, which has made many people pay more attention to Hollywood.

Just before the "Sixth Sense" trend passed, the media suddenly got the news.

Chen Tian is going to make a second film, investing 100 million US dollars, and Spielberg personally escorts him as a producer.

"Oh my God, are you dreaming?"

Now the domestic media is boiling, and almost all entertainment editions have this news. Even Radio, which was not going to introduce "The Sixth Sense", began to hear some voices, "Introduce the "Sixth Sense". ”

Because the people are curious, what the first movie made by this young man who created the miracle of zào was like.

In this era when domestic films can only make up for the three major European film festivals, occasionally win awards and make special reports, and commercial films are only played by Feng Xiaogang alone, what kind of film can set a global box office of more than 600 million US dollars.

You must know that this number is almost equivalent to the cumulative sum of the entire Chinese film box office in several years.
