Up to more than 500 million investment, plus follow-up publicity investment, and a little more may be able to buy a large theater chain, such a project is not much even if it takes a year or two to demonstrate the feasibility, but in Hollywood, where time is money, "Avatar", which focuses on new 3D, IMAX and visual spectacle, can't afford to wait, of course, Cameron himself is not willing to wait, Fox doesn't want to, more people want to talk to him. Therefore, after the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" exceeded 700 million, it has been completely affirmed that the box office will return to its original cost, and then the follow-up will be profitable, Fox finally made up his mind and signed a letter of intent with Cameron, although if they regret it, most of this letter of intent will not have any effect - in Hollywood, many times the law does not work so well, but in any case, it is a guarantee for both parties. And they invited Jenny to witness the process, which also shows how confident Fox is in her box office ability, which is certainly not the only reason why they decided to invest in "Avatar", but it must have played a lot in driving them to make up their minds.

For the big dream of investing in "Avatar", this is very good news, as small investors, they must be in a disadvantageous position in the negotiations, but on the basis of Jenny's accompaniment, their negotiation confidence is still relatively sufficient, the only thing to consider is what kind of negotiation attitude to use, coercion and temptation? Touching with sincerity? Showing off your advantage? In addition, it is also important to determine your own negotiation bottom line, of course, the most important thing is to be improvisable in Cameron's patience and the mentality of Fox management, as well as the long-term interests of the future, and try to find a safe, fast and profitable way to return the 100 million funds of Big Dream as much as possible.

As for the good thing of solving the problem in one negotiation, or using the mentality of a certain management in charge of the negotiation to solve the problem, Da Meng has never thought about it, with an investment of more than 500 million, it can be done in one negotiation, then this idea is too naïve, as for the latter, although Cesare often uses some tricks, such as using a simple follow-up quotation strategy in the follow-up salary negotiation of "Pirates" to win Jeanne's superhuman salary, but that is actually because of "Pirates" It's not a very risky project for Disney, and it's up to Bruckheimer, the producer, to decide how the remuneration is distributed, Disney doesn't care much at all, to put it bluntly, even if 50 million is given to Jenny, as long as Johnny has no opinion, Disney won't speak, anyway, the money is spent.

Even when she and Fox teamed up to make "Prada", the investment in the project itself was too small, and the prospects were not very optimistic, and it was impossible for Fox to pay more attention to it, so some small tricks could easily work, but if you thought that 'me and my agent are the smartest in the world' because of these things, it would be very naïve, in the "Avatar", which is a high-risk and high-profile project, which can be said to represent whether the whole company will go bankrupt, it is impossible for a little clever to work. Can only use great patience and Fox to grind slowly, the bottom line can not be set too high, Jenny and Cesare only want to be able to get half of the project's full income, not to be squeezed out of some hidden and lucrative profit links, and not to become an inferior settlement party because of small investment, can quickly return funds, to invest in other projects, and the best result in their minds, of course, is to take this opportunity to develop the distribution department of Big Dreams, and try to establish their own distribution system overseas, Or get some technology and resources from Fox, of course, the premise of the whole negotiation is that Fox agrees to Jenny to bring money into the game, but this should not be a problem.

"Jennifer, we can finally work together again." Fox sent to coordinate the project was their senior production manager, Kevin Brown. Riley, who was also the senior executive in charge of dealing with Jenny during Prada, gave the group a little tour of the studio, and after signing the letter of intent for investment in the presence of Jenny, he turned to Jenny and shook her hand warmly with his tanned hands again, "Fox is very happy to have you join again - James has already told me about the salary conditions you agreed on before, Fox has no intention of changing it, 20 million is 20 million - it's time for you to enter the 20 million club, isn't it?" I'm very happy to make "Avatar" your first 20 million. ”

Indeed, although "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is theoretically not finished, because it was filmed back-to-back, and unlike expected, in last year's shooting, Jenny had already completed most of the scenes in the third part, coupled with the change in the relationship between Big Dream and Disney, which made Cesare's re-bidding right a little chicken at that time. In addition, her performance in "Pirates 2" was not well-received, and she did not have too many bargaining chips, so the salary of "Pirates 3" stayed at 18 million, which was always worse than Johnny, and Disney did not give her permission to enter the third part of Red. After all, it is obvious that Jenny is now impossible to say that the negotiations will not succeed in withdrawing from the third part, and that a lot of the material in the third part will be invalidated, and even directly lead to remakes, adding countless costs - that would be tantamount to completely tearing up Disney's face. Then Disney doesn't need to give her a concession for the third part, which is probably a side effect of Disney's big dream of investing - although she is now Robert's favorite general, Disney is not Robert's private dynasty, which does not prevent Disney from trying to reduce the cost of the third part.

However, because the third part is almost completely completed, only a few more weeks of re-shooting is needed, Disney has promised that the two parties will pay all the remuneration within ten days after signing the new contract, instead of paying the deposit in advance as before, and the remuneration will be paid in installments, and the balance may even be paid after the movie is released and the funds are returned. Jenny's Little Dream Studio will soon receive more than 10 million yuan, which will be very helpful for her to save more than 70 million yuan in equity - if it weren't for the share capital, the balance of her account would be enough for her to find a ten-million-level estate in Malibu.

"I'm also very honored." Jenny put on a pleasant business smile and shook Kevin's hand, "Let's work together to turn Avatar into a new classic - but, Kevin, I may have to let my agent talk to you about the salary." ”

Kevin's smile dimmed for a moment - Jennifer just starred in a billion-level legendary blockbuster, and the previous 20 million was the asking price before "Pirate 2", could it be that she wants to continue to raise her offer after this box office miracle?

In terms of the attitude shown by Fox, Jennifer is very confident now, and it is difficult to say that she may raise the offer, but for Fox, 20 million is already a very generous number, and it is impossible to raise it much, Kevin even can't believe that Jenny will continue to raise the offer, after all, it is very rare for actresses to enter the 20 million club, and it is simply appalling to adjust it to 2500.

"Of course." However, Kevin did not lose his demeanor, he nodded politely, turned to Cesare to greet him familiarly, and then gestured to Jon on the side. Landau - Cameron's old buddy, gold medal producer, "Let's go next door and talk about it, shall we?" ”

The chubby Jon nodded kindly, "The sooner you sign the show contract, the better - Cesare, why doesn't the CAA offer a package contract?" It's going to make everything a lot easier – give me two minutes, and then we'll start talking about pay. ”

Jenny's deliberate request for a pay increase didn't come as a surprise to Jon, as it was not uncommon for actors to raise prices after the release of another blockbuster film. But Cameron, who has a strong desire to control, doesn't think so, taking advantage of the time when Kevin went to pour himself coffee, he turned to Jenny with some dissatisfaction, "Jennifer, 20 million is a very good price, if my news is correct, you can get 18 million in "Pirate 3", right?" ”

One sentence immediately shows the lofty status of the old man and the director: Jenny has just reached an agreement with Disney on this matter, and the contract has not yet been signed, which is an absolute trade secret. James could only have asked directly from Disney's top brass. - James's tone was also a little dissatisfied, after all, Jenny was able to get the figure of 20 million only with his support, and because of this change, the project finally had another twist and turn, and finally fell out with Universal. Although the responsibility is not on Jenny, but now if she wants to raise the price again, James will be angry if he is not angry.

"I can get 20 million in this part, I'm already very satisfied." Jenny hurriedly smiled to soothe James's emotions, and Cesare naturally walked to the coffee machine, and talked to Kevin in front of the coffee machine, "I see what you mean, James - in order to stay attractive to Leo and Chris, my salary is targeted." ”

In the two leading actors of the same coffee position, it is common for male stars to have higher salaries than female stars, and vice versa is very rare, in the case that Leo and Chris are much more qualified than Jenny, Jenny takes 25 million and they take 20 million, Chris or Leo can't live their lives? So Jenny called five million more, which means that the budget will rise by 10 million, which is almost unbearable pain for "Avatar", whose budget has almost swelled to the limit.

James's expression softened slightly, he glanced at Jenny with some suspicion, and moaned a little preemptively. He groaned, "Oh, don't ask me for dividends - don't ask me for dividends." Jennifer, this is worse news than a pay increase - don't tell me you want to mention this to me. ”

"Oh, you guessed right, James." Jenny winked at Cameron, but she didn't dare to hang the appetite of the king of the world, so she just made a little joke to explain, but at this time, Kevin. Riley was already on the side of the coffee machine with a just right exclamation, saving her the burden of explaining.

"100 million?" Kevin even threw out half of the freshly poured coffee, and he raised his head in surprise, as if he didn't believe his ears, and stared at Cesare, "100 million? ”

Cesare took a shallow sip from his coffee cup, nodded calmly, and did not speak. Kevin blinked desperately, as if to stop his vertigo, and he turned to Jenny again, "One hundred million? ”

Jenny smiled and nodded, explaining to James, who was also surprised, "Yes, 100 million - co-production, James, what do you think of this idea?" ”

“ok。” Jon. Rando wiped his hands as he walked into the conference room refreshed, "Let's get started—"

He noticed the eerie atmosphere in the room, going back and forth between his old partners James and Kevin. Riley glanced at his face a few times and asked with a smirk, "What happened?" Was an angel passing by the room just now? - Well, judging by your expressions, it must be an ugly angel. ”

The author has something to say: Note: It is said that when an angel passes by, the room will be quiet
