"Although you are rude, but I have a lot of adults, so I don't care about you as a half-old child."

Young Master Donnie had a condescending posture.

"I'm here today to talk to you about business. Well? ”

As soon as Young Master Donnie raised his head, Leo, who was standing behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and handed the business card in his hand to Li Shenghao.

Li Shenghao took it and took a look, a very exquisite business card.

"Donnie Eisner, Planning Manager, Disney Studios"

"Did Uncle Jerry say that the script for your second Pirates of the Caribbean is about to be completed?"

Master Donnie gets straight to the point.

"Uncle Jerry?"

There is only one person Li Shenghao knows whose name is Jerry, and that is Mr. Producer.

Could it be that this Young Master Downey has something else to do with Mr. Producer?

I told him about the script for the second movie.

"Uncle Jerry and my father are best friends."

Only then did Lee Sung-ho know that the man in front of him was the son of Mr. Disney, the current CEO of Disney Studios.

No wonder he was a little familiar with this surname when he saw it.

It turned out to be the son of Mike Eisner.

Michael Dammann Eisner was CEO of The Walt Disney Company from September 22, 1984 to September 30, 2005, and was Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Under his 21-year leadership, Disney Kingdom has grown from a company with a market value of only $2 billion to an entertainment empire with a market value of more than $40 billion.

It seems that this rich second generation in the United States is gilded in Disney under the "care" of his father, and it is estimated that he wants to make some achievements as soon as possible.

Knowing the intention, Li Shenghao has the bottom in his heart.

He also knew why he didn't see Mr. Bruckheimer today, and he probably felt embarrassed to play this kind of game with Fu Shao, but it was in his territory, and he was still friends with the boss, so he had to shirk the busy movie and fly to New York overnight.

"I wonder what Mr. Donnie is going to talk about with me, a half-grown kid?"

If it comes, it will be safe!

Since they are all here, let's see how this rich and handsome man compares himself to himself.

"I now want to know if the script for your second film is finished, and if so, then we can talk about it."

Young Master Donnie cocked one of his legs and tapped it gently.

Li Shenghao pointed to his head.

"What? Are you saying that you just have an idea and haven't formed a script yet? ”

Master Donnie was a little angry, his Uncle Jerry told him that there was already a script.

"I mean, the script for the second film is ready, right in my head, ready to be written."

Li Shenghao explained.

"Then you sort it out as soon as possible, I want to see the real script, even if it's an electronic version."

Master Donnie waved his hand again, and Leo quickly took out the checkbook from the bag he was holding.

"I'm now buying the script for your second film on behalf of Disney Studios, and if the results are good, the third and fourth parts can also be discussed. You make an offer, right? ”

The checkbook was gently placed on the table.

Can you still talk about business like this?

Isn't it necessary to wait until the first part is released to see the results before talking about the second part?

Why are so many links omitted in the middle?

Besides, the part of the contract signed with Disney about the sequel is to exchange the script for the box office from the second part, even if it is only half of it, it is not comparable to the current discount.

You must know that the box office of the four Pirates of the Caribbean is more than 4 billion US dollars, even if it is only half of it, this income is more than 200 million US dollars.

And if Li Shenghao is just a screenwriter, then his income will not exceed $20 million.

"Uh...... Master Donnie, huh? You may not know it yet, but as a screenwriter of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, I have a specific contract for the script. Are you sure you've read this contract? ”

Li Shenghao doesn't know if this gold-plated boy knows all the relevant information about this movie.

"I've seen it, but I feel that there is a problem with this contract, a big problem."

It seems that Master Donnie came prepared, not unprepared.

"If I didn't read the contract, I wouldn't know that someone in the company would dare to sign such a contract, as a screenwriter, your job is to write the script, and leave the rest to Disney to do. It's ridiculous that you still want to meddle in the box office share from the second part? Who gave you so much courage? ”

Young Master Donnie, who sat up straight, looked righteous and awe-inspiring, glared at Li Shenghao and said, his tone was very serious.

"And I actually agreed to your S.H fund to participate in the investment of this movie, is Disney Studios poor in money? Was the person in charge at the time a pig brain? ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Shenghao is still a little embarrassed about this, with the advantages brought by wearing, Li Shenghao just wants to make more money.

Knowing that the Pirates of the Caribbean series is soaring at the box office, if you have the opportunity to participate in the box office share, why not do it?

Although the reason he found at that time was to help Disney and Bruckheimer Film Company share the investment risk, to put it bluntly, Li Shenghao just wanted to make more money from it, and he didn't want to just get that little screenwriter's manuscript fee.

"Master Downey, although I am very confident in the script I have created, but because I am new to the circle of film scripts, although your company and Mr. Bruckheimer also appreciate my script, but because the investment is a little more, they are a little worried about the box office, so I will propose to share the risk, and the S.H Fund will invest funds."

Since you have got a bargain, then don't sell it anymore, otherwise you will be thundered!

This reason should be in the past, right? At that time, Lee Sung-ho remembered that Lena's mother talked to Mr. Producer like this.

Although more than $45 million was invested (the cost of Pirate One was 140 million), it accounted for almost a third, but only a quarter of the box office profit was shared, which convinced Mr. Producer and the head of the Disney Company that the S.H Fund was only there to cheer up Lee Sung-ho's script.

As everyone knows, Li Shenghao's plan is not only the box office of this first part, although the total box office of the four pirate series is 4 billion, but the first part is only 650 million box office, and the majority is still the next three, with an average of more than 1.1 billion.

In the contracts signed by Lena's mother with Disney Studios and Bruckheimer Films, the S.H Fund will invest no more than $60 million in each film, and will also receive a quarter of the box office profits of each film.

That's a lot of money!

The main reason is that Li Shenghao's situation is too confusing.

If it were a well-known screenwriter in Hollywood, they would not agree to share the box office share anyway.

Since they can choose a script, it shows that people are very optimistic about the prospects of this script, and even if the investment is risky, they are willing to take this risk.

There have been a few times when there has been a budget scary situation like "Avatar", and there is only one James Cameron director in this world.

So, in the beginning, The Walt Disney Company and Mr. Bruckheimer didn't want the S.H Fund to get involved.

It's just that later because Director Gore overspent the budget planned according to Li Shenghao's script, and they really didn't have much confidence in Li Shenghao, so they agreed after several negotiations.

The success was also due to Ms. Lena's superb negotiation skills.

As everyone knows, from the moment they agreed, they fell into the pit.

In order to reassure these two companies, Ms. Lena also gave quite sincerity, one-third of the investment, only accounting for a quarter of the profit, and it was four of the investment, making it look like supporting her children.

Originally, Mr. Producer and the Disney executive were still secretly complacent, but when they saw the film cut by Director Gore, they realized that they were happy a little early.

Especially recently, the high attention caused by the release of the trailer bodes well for the film.

So, Mr. Producer called his good friend Mike Eisner and wanted to kick the S.H Fund out.

That's why there was the temptation of this young master Donnie who looked very funny.

And in order to clear himself, Mr. Producer didn't even meet with Li Shenghao.

"Okay, since I'm representing Disney now, let's do it my way."

Master Donnie tapped the checkbook on the table with his chin.

"The scripts of the remaining three movies, you can make a price!"

Seeing the checkbook on the table, Li Shenghao gently took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Checkbook with a limit of $5 million!

Li Shenghao finally realized that he really underestimated others!

This rich and handsome guy who looks very funny is not a simple funny comparison!

"Shall I fill it in casually?"

"You can fill it in casually, but weigh your own strength."

"Then you still can't just fill it in?"

Familiar with this conversation, right?

Finally turned back.

Five minutes later, Master Downey and his assistant Leo walked out of Bruckheimer Films with angry expressions.

When he got on the black Bentley, the arrogance and atmosphere on Master Donny's face were gone, and only calm and seriousness remained, and even Assistant Leo, who was the co-pilot, did not see it.

"Daddy, it didn't work out, I underestimated that kid."

At this time, Master Donnie's car had just driven away, and Li Shenghao was also sent out by the vice president who received him.

Just now, Li Shenghao received a phone call, and it was because of this call that Li Shenghao decided not to accompany this Young Master Downey to act.
