Chapter 177: Elena Comes to the Door

After the concert, Zeng Xiaoxian put all his energy into his first movie "People in Embarrassment", and as soon as he arrived at the office that day, Zeng Xiaoxian saw Fang Qing push the door and walk in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What's the matter?" Raising his head and looking at Fang Qing, Zeng Xiaoxian asked weakly, the propaganda is really too tired, and Zeng Xiaoxian has no energy in the morning.

"There's a woman downstairs who wants to see you, and she says his name is Elena." Fang Qing looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and said lightly.

"Elena?" Zeng Xiaoxian thought about it, why did she suddenly come to find her.

"Got it, I'm going to change my clothes now, do you want to see it?" Zeng Xiaoxian winked at Fang Qing and smiled, he was still wearing pajamas.

Fang Qingxiao's face turned red and snorted, and he escaped from Zeng Xiaoxian's office as if flying.

Zeng Xiaoxian walked out of the room, walked downstairs, and saw Fang Qingzheng chatting happily with Elena in fluent English, although the age gap between the two was very small, but now it seemed that they were chatting happily.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Elena, for keeping you waiting!" Zeng Xiaoxian said slightly apologetically.

"No, it's me who came too early!" Elena said that she knew she had come too early. came to the door so early in the morning, but the excitement in her heart couldn't be concealed, so she came to the door early in the morning: "But Mr. Zeng still remembers the last time we talked about the agreement?" ”

"Oh yes, we had an agreement like that!" Of course, Zeng Xiaoxian still remembered the promise he made, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't intend to hide it from Fang Qing when he said this, anyway, it wasn't a matter of not seeing anyone.

"It's just Miss Elena, have you found a company that is willing to invest in you?"

"Yes, God forbid!" Elena said with a little excitement. "Thanks to the success of your book, many companies are willing to invest in the filming of "Twilight", and now I am here to ask for your opinion!" This is of course, after all, the copyright is still in Zeng Xiaoxian's hands.

"Oh, can you tell me which companies?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

"Fox was the first to agree to invest, as well as Huana and Force!" Elena directly ignored some medium and some small companies, after all, "Twilight" must be a big investment, not something that small companies can afford, even the above large companies must be cautious when making investment decisions, not everyone has a lot of spare money like Zeng Xiaoxian and has nowhere to spend.

But seeing the excellent sales of "Twilight", those companies are like sharks that smell fishy, and they all gather.

Who knows if "Twilight" will be the next "Bit", at least in terms of the current momentum, even if it is not as good as Bit, it will not be much worse, and it definitely has great potential to be tapped. There are so many book fans as the foundation, as long as the movie is not too badly made, no matter how good it is, the cost will still be recovered.

Zeng Xiaoxian heard that they are all large companies, all of them are world-class companies, and they are all giant compared to many domestic companies.

Zeng Xiaoxian was a little troubled. It seems that any company is very powerful, Zeng Xiaoxian sat on the sofa with his back and closed his eyes. I subconsciously touched the smooth bar, only to realize that I didn't touch anything.

"It's not impossible to transfer the copyright, but I have a request, and if they agree, I will agree!" Zeng Xiaoxian replied.

"Please!" Elena hurriedly asked.

"If the box office of "Twilight" is less than $100 million, I won't take a penny, but if it exceeds $100 million, I ask for 5% of the box office dividends, if it exceeds $200 million, I ask for 10% dividends, if it exceeds $300 million, I ask for 15%, and then I don't want more!" Zeng Xiaoxian calmly confided word by word.

Elena's face was stunned, Zeng Xiaoxian's request was undoubtedly a lion's mouth, if there was a box office of 300 million, Zeng Xiaoxian would be divided by 45 million US dollars, judging from this dividend ratio, the more popular the film, the more the company earned.

Similarly, if the box office is not good, then the company's trouble will be big, if it doesn't make sense, the company will lose all its money, there is 100 million, it is just barely recovering the cost, after 100 million, there will be money, but if there are hundreds of millions, it will be a big profit.

To put it bluntly, this is a gamble, if you win, you will make a lot of money, and if you lose the bet, you will lose all your money, this is true for both parties, if Zeng Xiaoxian loses, then he will not get a dime, if he wins, he will make a lot of money.

In fact, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't really want to hand over such a lucrative work as "Twilight" to others, but now he is in a hurry to open the American market and has to rely on the manpower and material resources of those large companies.

"Elena is very embarrassed by this request, and those companies will not agree to this matter." She even wondered for a moment if Zeng Xiaoxian was not willing to hand over the adaptation rights of "Twilight" to her at all. But then I saw Zeng Xiaoxian's serious look. That thought vanished.

Zeng Xiaoxian felt that he had made a big concession, he didn't have no money but just lacked relationships, if they didn't agree to this, then Zeng Xiaoxian would rather wait for two years, and wait for him to shoot it himself after he gained a foothold in the United States.

"Lady Elena, don't worry, if they have enough vision, they will agree!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile, and now he is a little glad that the "Twilight" novel is a big hit. Otherwise, not only would he not have the confidence to make such a request, but it would even be a question of whether a company is willing to shoot.

The huge potential of "Twilight" can be seen by Zeng Xiaoxian, Elena can also see it, and the executives of those film companies can also see it, but is the part they see enough to help them make such a choice? No one knows.

"If that's the case, then I'll do my best!" Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian's look of having made up her mind, Elena had no choice but to say, "Is the other promise that Mr. Lin said last time still valid?" ”

Zeng Xiaoxian knew that what she said was to let him choose to play the male lead, Zeng Xiaoxian nodded: "Of course!" ”

Elena smiled a little, finally there was some good news.

After sending Elena away, Zeng Xiaoxian wanted to take a break, but Fang Qing said: "The distributor asks if our film should hold a premiere, and according to their ideas, we can do it." ”

Hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are a completely new company in the film industry, if the premiere is very big, but the movie does not sell well, then we will become a laughing stock." Don't mention this matter again, the premiere will not be held, but you can do it at the film meeting. (To be continued.) )
