"Fox can't make a follow-up investment in time?" Chris leaned over Jenny and shouted in surprise, at this time he was no longer angry about what had just happened, after all, it was a billion dollars, and he couldn't be too anxious. WwW is worth your collection. LＷXＳ５２０。 COM "How is this possible!" ”

"Unbelievable, he actually got Fox's internal mail forwarding...... Jenny also muttered in a low voice, "I really want to know what kind of ** decoction he poured into Thomas......"

She said Thomas. Aiken is a senior executive of Fox, and he is also the public relations target of Big Dream, he has always been very concerned about the company's internal cash flow, and is not optimistic about Fox's desperate investment in "Avatar", so he is quite keen to introduce Big Dream's investment, with this position as a basis, his view on the division of interests is very relaxed, after Big Dream and his several contacts, the two sides also reached a consensus: Fox's terms are too harsh, Big Dream can turn around at any time and not sign a contract, anyway, there are many projects they invest in, And Fox has a lot of effort to raise more than 300 million in cash, and once Big Dream withdraws, there is almost no way to find another 100 million money, so Fox gives Big Dream some profits is the rhythm that will continue with sincerity.

Due to Jenny's filming, Cesare has been doing the maintenance of contacts in the later stage, and from the current results, Cesare obviously did not give up this line, and actually coaxed Thomas to even forward the internal work email to him - of course, it can be inferred that it was sent by mistake, but even so, once it is revealed, this is a very serious work mistake, and Thomas will definitely be affected.

"Maybe it was sent by mistake." After understanding the ins and outs, Chris also made a similar judgment, "Looking at the sender's CC list, there are a lot of names starting with C, maybe he is misoperation, and he sent a lot of unnecessary objects - this is very common for those high-level executives who are not very familiar with computer operation." ”

"If that's the case, then Thomas may be a little too old for the film industry." Jenny muttered indifferently, pulled the scroll bar to the bottom, and looked up from the bottom with Chris - although according to common sense, Chris shouldn't be involved too much in big dreams, and he usually doesn't care so much, but the current situation is a bit special, and the two of them still have this trust, so Jenny didn't ask him to avoid it. "Calculate the time, oh my God, the bank loan went wrong two months ago, and Fox must have tried everything he could - they could really bear it."

Although Cesare did not explain in detail, from the words of the email, Jenny still easily pieced together the ins and outs of the incident: Fox had a major problem with the loan for the "Avatar" project, and the major banks they contacted, some rejected Fox's loan request, and some rejected the practice of fulfilling the framework agreement, and offered an unreasonably high interest rate. Avatar is profitable, and Fox is working for the bank, and the reason for the bank is actually very good: according to James. Cameron's glorious history of delays and bounces, as well as the fact that Fox covered up the fact that "Avatar" had been postponed and the release date had been adjusted since it had just started production, in short, based on these facts, the bank judged that "Avatar" was almost impossible to complete on time, that is, in this point, Fox and Cameron had lost credit. -- For a bank that attaches great importance to the non-performing loan ratio, it is almost impossible for the approval department to approve such a huge amount of high-risk loans.

It's not like it was five years ago now, and they're pretty tight on cash. A senior Fox executive commented in an email, and the gloating rhetoric somewhat exposed the power struggle within Fox: There must have been a debate within Fox about the funding of "Avatar." 'According to me, the chances of us finding money in the bank are slim to none, and we have to find another way......

Although it is said that manipulation in bank loans and the company's internal accounts is an almost global problem, for Fox, a listed company with separate equity and management rights, if it is not necessary, it is impossible for the management to risk breaking the law and openly lie, and the dealings between film companies and banks are generally earmarked funds according to industry practice, and banks must also send commissioners to conduct risk reviews, and it is impossible for Fox to use loans in other names to inject funds into "Avatar", at least in this kind of investment that counts at the level of 100 million. According to Jenny's guess, Fox may have thought that the success of the loan from the bank was very good, after all, their business situation was quite good, and after being unexpectedly rejected, they fell into a dilemma at once, and they had to raise money for the follow-up investment of "Avatar", otherwise after the money was spent, the project would be suspended, and the release time would be delayed, and it would be Fox who would suffer.

The next email is basically a few parties expressing their opinions, Jenny roughly sorted it out - since the loan was rejected, then Fox became very nervous, although they have a big business, but they can't find hundreds of millions of dollars to fill in at once, the finance department coordinated for most of the day, and finally there is still a gap, the money in the "Avatar" account is estimated to be used up in three months, and Fox's next money will take nine months to arrive at the earliest, this is already the result of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, if you want to make up for it quickly, several film projects are about to be shut down immediately.

How do you make up for this half-year gap? Is it the issuance of corporate bonds? Share expansion? Mortgage a bank with Fox's assets? For the management, these moves are meant to involve the shareholders, so they have also caused serious disagreement. The faction represented by Aiken advocated a slight concession on the terms of capital injection, urging Dameng to inject funds to fill the gap, and everything will be fine. And to Dell. The group led by Thorpe strongly advocated that they should not make profits, so as not to continue to push up the profit threshold of "Avatar", and would rather borrow from the parent company News Corp. than suddenly give in at such a time, lest the big dream be moved, raise the threshold, and 'shamelessly squeeze our profits'.

Scrolling through the long pages, Jenny adjusted her reading speed as she looked at her watch, after all, Cesare still had to negotiate with Marvel for "Iron Man" in more than an hour. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head as she watched, "It looks like they can't convince anyone." ”

Indeed, this controversy has lasted for more than two months, and Fox has also thought of various ways to find money during the period, but in front of the red line of the profit threshold, they have many ways that they can't choose: not letting Big Dream intervene, mainly to keep Fox's profits, if other methods are more cost-effective, it is better to directly make concessions in negotiations with Big Dream. Eventually, Dale's tone began to loosen, and Thomas's patience seemed to be at its limit, and this morning, before the Fox hierarchy had yet to fully agree, he cleanly 'mistakenly' the long list of emails to Cesare, and then called to explain, telling Cesare to keep it a secret for him on a personal basis.

"It's a very coincidental mistake." After watching the series of bickering, Jeanne fully understood Cesare's excitement, and her fingers trembled slightly: finally, after almost a year of negotiations, the big dream finally saw the light of day. If it weren't for personal experience, no one would have understood how disadvantageous the position of the big dream was in the negotiations, and how difficult it was to hold on to it until now for the sake of their deserved interests - in the current situation of the big dream, their best request is not to cheat others, but not to be cheated.

"It's a very coincidental mistake." As soon as Cesare picked it up, Jenny said, "Oh, God, Chesa, I can't believe it's true." ”

"Opportunity belongs to those who are patient." After a period of precipitation, Cesare's tone stabilized again, but his tone was still a little more hurried than usual, "I assume you already understand what Thomas is hinting at, what do you think?" ”

Thomas's 'misdelivery' and phone calls actually hint at his own opinion on this matter: now is the ideal time for Big Dream to enter the game, and if they don't take advantage of the situation and keep the original conditions, Fox is likely to nod and sign. In fact, this kind of 'misdelivery' may not hurt Fox's interests, after all, according to the logic to push, if Fox suddenly gives in, it is normal for Big Dream to be suspicious, if they find out that the loan of "Avatar" was rejected, and they begin to take advantage of the danger to raise the conditions, then the back and forth is endless, and in the end, it is very likely that "Avatar" was forced to stop work, and Fox can only raise funds through some means that he did not want to use, even if the result is better than this, Big Dream finally enters the game, But a lot of precious time will also be wasted in negotiations, and it is "Avatar" that will be damaged, and of course, the friendship between Big Dream and Fox.

Now, knowing the ins and outs of Fox and Fox's bottom line, if Big Dream really cooperates sincerely, he naturally knows how to behave. Jenny nodded, "I understand, and I think it's the best time to do it...... Let's keep the original conditions, don't raise the price in the details of cooperation, the focus is on our right to inject capital and speak on "Avatar 2". ”

In fact, the concepts of copyright, omni-channel, and sequel funding rights in the negotiations almost coincide, and what Jenny hopes to obtain has always been to ensure that the sequel can be funded in the same proportion, which is actually not a big problem in "Avatar", because the investment in this project is too huge, and the future is uncertain, and for the very sensitive Marvel, as long as they are involved in copyright, they are unwilling to sell, which also makes the entanglement points of the two negotiations completely different.

"If the original conditions are maintained, I estimate that we have more than 90 percent chance of signing the contract within a few days." Cesare said as he tapped on the keyboard, the sound of crackling typing coming out of the earpiece clearly, "After all, we've seen that Fox should be running out of cash, and counting the time we have to raise money, there's not much time left for negotiation - that will have a decisive impact on the meeting in an hour's time, Jefferson, we need to consider adjusting our negotiation strategy." ”

"Indeed." Jenny was also aware of this, and she saw it quickly, before the final negotiation of "Iron Man" began, they had to come up with a changed negotiation policy, the reason is actually very simple - after suddenly putting 100 million cash into "Avatar", Big Dream's cash flow also began to be tight, unlike before, with abundant cash as a backing, and "Iron Man" is about to start filming, Big Dream is actually in a cash dilemma, and in a short period of time, he can't find money to invest in "Monroe" and "Iron Man" at the same time.

Of course, the box office share, DVD, and copyright sales of "Unlucky Eros", the dividends of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the cash feedback from the two previously developed films, the copyright of "Old Friends Are Rich", and even the small treasury of the parent company Disney, are all cash flows they can look forward to, but in this way, the books are also struggling, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the previously thought shareholder dividends have also become a bubble, which also means that during the development of these three films, if Disney has equity transfer, Jeanne and Cesare were only able to exercise a small portion of their preferential rights rights. After all, these incomes can be calculated, and the earliest return on capital will be a year and a half later.

can comfortably settle in "Avatar", and the result of completing the contract is that the two of them must make a choice: whether to bet that Disney will not have a large amount of equity due in the short term, or decisively set aside cash for dividends, and give up "Iron Man", which is not very comfortable to talk about? This leaves a little money left over for "Monroe", which may overrun the budget. There is no distinction between good and evil, right or wrong, and it all depends on your strategic vision - in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a gamble of luck, or it depends on which side of the decision-making team is more important, whether it is Disney's internal voice or a movie that may be very profitable.

Jenny is still very clear about Big Dream's finances, just now she was reading the email, and she was thinking about whether she could take care of it, the answer is maybe yes, but it will be more nervous - in short, in this situation, "Iron Man" has become more chicken because of Marvel's surprisingly uncooperative attitude, and the main reason for talking about it at that time was mainly considering that when "Avatar" was not so certain, it was always necessary to take a multi-pronged approach, but now with "Avatar"......

"Let's try one last time, what do you think?" She asked Cesare inquiringly, "After a few months of hard work, it's really a little unwilling to give up like this, but we can't give up any more profits, we can be firmer, and if the talks collapse, it's not bad to quit "Iron Man". ”

Although no one will think that she has many blockbuster movies, but for Jenny, she participated in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and now she is going to shoot "Avatar", and it is even more likely that she will shoot a female superhero movie by herself in the future.

"I'm less surprised now – we seem to be going together more and more often." Cesare said calmly, "Now that we have Avatar, we can indeed be tougher, and the negotiations will be the last meeting later - I don't have that much energy to juggle both ends of the two, and now we have to focus on Avatar - in that case, we can carry out the strategy that we have been thinking about, you know, the one we have listed as a last resort." ”

"Ah, you mean—" Jenny snapped, "but—I was in Los Angeles then, but now I'm in the Maldives—"

"It's not inflexible," Cesare said, "in fact, maybe it works better in the current situation......

"What? Isn't the meeting room arranged at 1426? "In a building in Century City, Los Angeles, Kevin. Feige asked, somewhat surprised, as he paused beside his assistant. "Okay, I see, it's over - Mickey, why did you suddenly change the conference room?"

"There are some glitches in the network equipment on Layer 14." Mickey also hid the microphone in her hand and replied, "The big dream is already waiting for you in 1526 - Mr. Vijery and Mr. Davidson have arrived." ”

"Is there any other use for Davidson than to say, 'Yes, Vijri'?" Kevin snorted unhappily and turned to Tom, the entertainment lawyer who had come to meet him first. "Isn't he breaking some rules by doing this?" I mean, I remember there was a law that an agent couldn't work in a production company. ”

As a senior Marvel executive, Kevin is not so familiar with the film industry, but this does not mean that he is completely new, in the process of contacting Sony, Fox and other companies before, he still absorbed a lot of knowledge, but it is not systematic enough.

"He's here to negotiate Jennifer's salary." Tom spread his hands, "At least on the surface, as for the overstepping of authority in the negotiation - we can't hold on to it, we have a duty of confidentiality, Kevin, besides, it's not in order." ”

Yes, on the surface, it was Jim who negotiated on behalf of Big Dreams. Davidson, Jennifer's manager, and her agent only managed to pay the piece, and as such, although Cesare. Vijri has always been mild-mannered and good-tempered, but Kevin still gets tired of him - if it weren't for the pressure he put on him, and even called Paramount CEO and Marvel's de facto final talker, Isaac through a connection out of nowhere. Bormatt was there and said that they moved Jeannifer. Jefferson's involvement in "Iron Man" was a good idea, and Kevin had already closed the matter and signed the cheaper Gwyneth. Paltrow: Is Jefferson good? He thought it was good, too, but the girl was too greedy and wanted too much, making her an uneconomical choice.

Although he is Jennifer. Jefferson's agent, but Cesare was too involved in this matter, which made Kevin have serious doubts about his position, but Tom repeatedly admonished him that Marvel's foundation in the film industry is very shallow, and it is one thing to talk about things in negotiations, and it is another thing to expose the opponent's dirty little secrets. Jefferson, Marvel may suffer unexpected suppression, which may destroy "Iron Man", which they see as a ray of hope and a last-ditch fight, and Marvel can't afford such a risk: Marvel moved the old capital, used the character copyright as collateral, and took the face of the former Marvel Studios CEO (a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment) to get the first phase of start-up funds with a loan, if "Iron Man" has a problem, then Marvel will have to sell itself to pay off its debts, and Paramount will be unhappy with the money. In such a situation, Jennifer's team, which has a deep background because of her own emotional provocation, is definitely not a good choice.

"Kevin."

"Jim, Cesare."

Pursing his lips and walking into the conference room with a heavy heart, Kevin squeezed out a smile and shook hands with several representatives of Big Dreams, plus the entertainment lawyers they hired, hoping that this was the last time he would see their faces: The pain point of Marvel and himself is that Jennifer must squeeze into the ranks of investors, which is also the most unconceivable for Kevin, and the rest of the settlement priorities are all trivial, if Big Dream is unwilling to give in on the point of 20% capital injection and 20% film copyright, then this negotiation will not only delay timeand will not do anything.

"Huh, this is—" He noticed that several people were adjusting some equipment behind their backs. ――These two floors of offices were leased by Marvel in Los Angeles not long ago, and Kevin is not very familiar with the company's internal affairs.

"Projector." Jim. "Jennifer is in the Maldives, but she wants to sit in on the last negotiations, so I might have to ask you to wait a few minutes and let's debug the network," Davidson said lightly. ”

While the negotiations have been going on for a while, Jennifer herself has never been shown and the whole thing looks more like Cesare. Vijri's own assertion - which makes Kevin even more suspicious of his relationship with Jennifer, why is he so dictating to his biggest client? Treat her and her company like your own puppets? Of course, Marvel did not reveal this to the outside world, and those actresses who are crazy about Pepper do not need to know that Jennifer herself did not fancy this character.

“ok。” Kevin said skeptically, "It seems that at the last minute, the big guy finally gave up." ”

No one responded to his taunts, and after a brief period of adjustment, a casually dressed Jennifer appeared on the big screen, accompanied by a smiling Christopher - he disappeared after saying hello to a few enthusiastic fans, and Jennifer's expression became serious, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Cesare. After a few words, Vijri motioned for them to continue the meeting, and she herself was in charge of the meeting.

"About yesterday's two proposals." Kevin also ordered himself not to pay attention to the screen on the wall, which he vaguely felt was not a particularly good idea - to follow their Jennifer through the screen. Jefferson seemed to be at the center of the meeting, and there was a sense of superiority, which was not very conducive to the momentum of the negotiations - of course, his own determination remained unchanged. "How are you thinking about it, Cesare, is it the first option or the second option?"

He simply skipped over Jim. Davidson, talking to Cesare.

Cesare smiled and said, "Of course the first option is not considered, Kevin, don't use it to perfunctory us, as for the second option, three million is an acceptable price - but we - or Jennifer - "

His words were taken by Jennifer. Jefferson interrupted, who seemed a little impatient with Cesare's stuttering, and sighed exaggeratedly, drawing everyone's attention to herself at once, "Cesare, seriously—that's why I'm interrupting my vacation and spending a lot of money on communications for this meeting." ”

Cesare. Although Vijri seems to have an awe-inspiring temperament, he has always had a gentle attitude in the actual negotiations, 'everything can be discussed', in fact, if his temper was not so good, the negotiations between the two sides would have been unable to go on for a long time, but because of this, Kevin often indulges his temper in the negotiations, in order to gain a certain advantage, and because he is very familiar with this trick, as soon as he heard Jennifer's complaint with rolling his eyes, some vigilance ignited in his heart: Cesare, who has always communicated with them on an equal footing by denying and counting down, Jennifer has established her own sense of authority.

"I'm sorry, Jennifer." Cesare seemed unimpressed by her rudeness, and he gestured to give up space for conversation to Jennifer. Jefferson, and she didn't waste a moment, without giving Kevin the slightest chance to speak, he stretched forward with his fingers crossed, twisted his neck again, and said with a relaxed expression.

"To be honest, I don't see the difference between three million and five million, Kevin, if you don't know, the project I'm talking about with Fox is in the hundreds of millions."

Although it was not deliberately contrived, Jennifer's natural expression was more convincing, but Kevin was not very clear about the '100 million' project she was talking about. Vijeri also did not mention it in previous negotiations. Tom. Goode observed the words and whispered in his ear, "It's Fox and James. The big project Cameron is working on seems to be called "Avatar...... It is rumored that it is a 500 million-level investment project, and Big Dream may have an investment...... But it doesn't seem like they're talking about ......."

500 million, which can already make three movies in Marvel, Kevin admitted that he was a little suppressed, he pursed his lips and wanted to speak, but Jennifer said to herself, "I admit that I am very optimistic about "Iron Man", otherwise I would not have intended to invest, but of course, I have always entrusted this work to two men I trust-"

She waved her hand at the curtain and said in a homely manner, "Because this is only a tens of millions of investments, and I don't have to do it myself, but I looked at the minutes last night, and if I'm not mistaken, Kevin, our conflict has always been focused here—if I say something wrong, interrupt me: at first, you wanted me to star, but you didn't want to give money; Later, you didn't want to give money, and you didn't want me to give money; In the end, you don't give money, you want me to invest money, and you don't want to give me the corresponding rights, right? Kevin? ”

From a certain point of view, Jennifer's summary is not wrong, Marvel's harshness is simply a little ridiculous, and Kevin can't help but feel a wave of irritability in his heart: If it weren't for the inability to unify internal opinions, why would he bear Jennifer's humiliation? It has long been politely stated at the beginning that there is no possibility of cooperation.

"Miss Jefferson—"

Jennifer snorted and said with a smirk, "Oops, call me Jennifer." ”

"Okay." Kevin said that although he was full of displeasure, he was still touched by her smile, "Jennifer-Marvel is by no means unwilling to give you your due rights, it can be said that your company is asking too much, and 20% of the omnichannel is a very appropriate ratio, which is proportional to your investment-"

"But it doesn't guarantee my right to fund the sequel," Jennifer rolled her eyes and interrupted him unceremoniously, "Kevin, yes, Iron Man is a good project, you and I both believe that the wasteland is an oil field, but now it's a wasteland after all, if you personify him, he's a lawyer with unlimited potential, and we all believe that he can be elected governor, and I get a low salary and bring my own political donations to work for him, but you don't guarantee that I will have a place in the future cabinet, do you?" Kevin, "Iron Man" is going to be serialized, and I am not asking for the copyright of comic book characters, TV series, or peripheral toys, I am only asking for the copyright of this movie series, which can ensure that I will not be thrown off by the series, and ensure that I will not be cut after the first box office hit, and lose the qualification to invest in the sequel——"

She was obviously more and more annoyed the more she spoke, Jennifer no longer remained in a casual sitting position, but sat up straight and leaned closer to the camera, "Kevin, do you think I'm a fool?" Answer me unequivocally, do I look like a fool in front of you? ”

Kevin. Feige has a very tough personality, and he almost bursts out 'You do seem to have big breasts', but Tom pinched the back of his hand in time, and he suddenly came back to reality and said with his sanity, "Of course not, Jennifer, you want to secure the right to capitalize, it's negotiable, but copyright is a very sensitive word......"

As he searched for the right phrase, Jennifer spread her hands and turned her anger to joy, "Omni-channel sharing, corresponding capital injection rights - isn't this copyright?" ”

She smiled and said, "Forgive my ignorance, but in the course of our talk with Fox about this, the series copyright we were talking about was made up of a few points, so why can't we call it copyright?" ”

Tom coughed, "Jennifer, that's not how copyright defies—"

"Normally, that's not how copyright is defined." Cesare. Vijri interrupted him with a wry smile – an annoying smile – and he added to the screen, "But in our draft contract, copyright can be seen as a combination of these two things, it cannot be transferred, and if the sequel cannot be funded by shares, it automatically loses its share of the copyright in the work, so I don't think it's wrong to call that copyright." ”

"Ah, I see." Jennifer said with some pretense, but Kevin couldn't tell if she was acting or if she had just figured it out, and generally speaking, the Hollywood stars he had met were far less intelligent than Jennifer. "So what's standing between me and the copyright I deserve, Kevin?"

Kevin felt that it was a runaway negotiation, but he couldn't find an excuse to interrupt, after all, so far, Jennifer and Cesare have not acted rudely, he can only say, "For some reason, Marvel is not very receptive to the word copyright......

"Wait, wait," Jennifer interrupted, "So, at first you wanted me to be pretty much free, and then you wanted me not to split -- just to make sure, Kevin, Marvel's requests are businesslike, aren't they?" All for the movies? ”

"Of course." Kevin was a little confused—the sense of time and space was stronger.

"So-" the world-renowned blonde actress leaned back, and said lazily in a lengthened tone, "after months of patience and repeated concessions to the current situation, you are still asking me to give up the copyright statement - is it because of the movie, or is it because of Marvel's own preferences?" ”

She sniffed, touched her chin with her hand, and her expression slowly cooled, "Bargaining is a common thing in negotiations, and Big Dream doesn't mind putting up with difficulties, as long as it's a good project, Kevin, I love Iron Man, so I can tolerate months-long negotiations and constant concessions, but - if I'm wrong, tell me, I'm getting more and more of a feeling now, I feel like Marvel doesn't really want to work with me, and all your conditions, either you want to force me to quit voluntarily, or you take me for a fool - Are you taking me for a fool, Kevin? ”

Although Jennifer didn't dramatically break a few teacups, just lowered his voice, Kevin still felt a wave of discomfort, which had been there since he knew that Big Dream was talking to Fox about a billion-level project, but now it was getting worse - it was a kind of 'one foot in the air' type of discomfort, probably like a hunter who has been thinking he was chasing a white rabbit, but after he turned a corner, he suddenly saw a tiger.

"We certainly didn't take you for a fool, Miss Jefferson." He said that there was no trace of anger in his tone, and Kevin began to ask himself: Was he influenced by stereotypes in his dealings with Big Dream? Is it wrong to put Jennifer. Jefferson was a big star, ignoring the title of one of the most promising producers of 2006.

"Then you're just not cooperating and you're wasting our time?" Jennifer immediately planted another big hat for Marvel, "What do you know? Kevin, in the workplace we all advocate business, nohardfeeling, nothingpersonal-"

She pursed her lips and said coldly, "But I have a feeling now that this thing has become very personal and emotional, at least for me. I feel that Marvel has always looked down on my professionalism and trampled on my sincerity, a comic book company that just wanted to enter Hollywood looked down on a Hollywood-born production company, as if they didn't know how dangerous Hollywood was, how many fragile links a film had from birth to distribution, and they thought that Paramount, which had only signed a distribution agreement, could escort them and avoid the obvious and hidden arrows of competitors. ”

Personal, emotional...... Trample...... Dangerous...... Frail...... Issuance Agreement...... Bright swords and dark arrows......

These keywords are like sharp daggers, viciously piercing a small hole in Kevin's body, after a long time of wind and frost, snow and rain, he climbed to the CEO of Marvel Studios when he was 33 years old, he can't be a simple person, these keywords are enough to make him imagine: women are very emotional, it seems that Jennifer has repeatedly suffered setbacks in negotiations, and really takes this matter personally, and is Paramount really so reliable in this matter? At present, the relationship between Paramount and Marvel is only the distribution agreement, if it provokes the anger of the giants, Paramount, who has not yet paid any cost, may give up Marvel, and the fragile link of "Iron Man" is almost clear about the big dream during the negotiation process, and even outsiders can figure out the most obvious point - Kevin has always been worried about Robert Jr. Downey......

Big Dream knows that they haven't signed the contract yet, and they have been waiting for the results of Donnie's drug test, if Big Dream pulls Donnie away with a high salary, where will they go to find a male movie star with good strength and a cheap price, if Big Dream is more insidious, after the film starts......

"I've made an appointment with Fox for a meeting at 2 p.m. Los Angeles time," Jennifer seemed to have once again controlled her temper after a brief outburst, but she didn't bother Kevin anymore, but spoke directly to Cesare. "You have two hours to close this case, and if you negotiate, sign it, if you can't, give it up, we don't have time to waste on Iron Man." ”

She glanced at Kevin, smiled a little grimly, and said disdainfully, "Just let those bitches fight for Pepper, they'll taste it - if anyone thinks they can take advantage of the Jefferson's ......"

Without saying goodbye to anyone, the screen flashed brightly, then went black, and Jennifer cut off the call.

There was a brief silence in the room, and then Cesare. Vijery coughed apologetically.

"Woman." He said, smiling gently and helplessly, "Especially a woman who gets everything at the age of 25 - you know what I mean." ”

Jim. Davidson echoed, "I'm sorry Jennifer sometimes goes to such lengths to attend meetings, just to lose her temper - let's just act as if it didn't happen, okay?" ”

A flattering smile erupted from his fat face, and for the first time he took the initiative to speak to Kevin, "So, Mr. Feige, you also heard Jennifer's words, about the copyright......

"Call me Feige," Kevin corrected mechanically, mentally doing a quick math as he heard himself say, "Can't be transferred?" ”

"Absolutely non-transferable." Cesare. Vijery smiled like a spring breeze, "If you want to transfer, it will only be transferred back to Marvel." ”

"Limited to movie series, and has nothing to do with comic book characters, movie characters and merchandise, or original comics?"

"It's only a movie series, and it has nothing to do with all characters, merchandise, novels, and comics."

"Promise not to make a film independently?"

"Commitment not to make films independently."

"Don't meddle in the operation of the film series?"

"Don't interfere in the operation of the movie series-" Vijri smiled again, he said affectionately, "Kevin, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, this is Big Dream's personal behavior, we are an independent production company, and there is only an equity relationship between Disney, put away your care-"

He even winked at Kevin intimately and playfully, in a suggestive tone, "Actually, why do you reject Disney contact so much, sometimes, multiple choices are not bad, aren't they?" ”

This sentence made Kevin, who was shrouded in negative emotions and even a little self-defeating, moved, and he looked at Cesare carefully. Vijeri, quickly pressing the calculator in his head—

After a moment, he took a deep breath.

"I need to call New York." He said, looking at Cesare somewhat with some change. Vijri - Actually, he's not that unlikable, is he? "Give me five minutes."

Cesare. Vijri's lips pulled out in an elegant arc.

"Of course, Kevin, don't worry," he said as he laughed, his voice soft, "- at this moment, you have the time of the whole world. ”

The author has something to say: Note: Let's talk about yesterday's two bugs first, 1 is "Michael. Clayton was released in January '08 and I made a mistake. 2 is that Jenny should be going to present the Oscars for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. I forgot it too quickly when I wrote it yesterday

And then Marvel's stinginess is actually a lot of this thing, almost all the protagonists signed a low-cost packaging contract, after the success of the Avengers, Downey led his friends to fight together to ask for a salary increase, including Thor Hammer Brother also complained that there is not much money to work for Marvel, Marvel is stingy, or Universal is generous or something. I remember that the CE of the American team was hundreds of thousands of dollars, and 300,000 dollars signed a lot? It's not a high price anyway.

And the disagreement between Marvel and the director is also very common, for example, the director of Thor 2 was very annoyed, because he didn't even get the script when he started filming, only some comics and scattered outlines and dialogues, and Marvel also gave Thor 2 a very low easter egg. This made him very unhappy, and the director of Ant-Man also withdrew from the project because of differences with Marvel, and Joss Witton (director of the Avengers) also tweeted to support him at that time, these contradictions can actually be attributed to one person, that is, Kevin who appeared in this article. Feiji, who is said to be a very tough person, is a man of all kinds. However, Kevin is only the CEO of Marvel's subordinate film company, and the real helmsman of Marvel is Isaac mentioned here. Bormatt, he is the CEO of Marvel Entertainment, but he himself is very low-key, and there are not a few photos~

The above is true, and the rest of the other people and other things mentioned in this chapter are made up by myself~ I hope you don't have a bad impression of Marvel because of this, no matter how tough Kevin's personality is, at least until now, the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are not bad, this is a fact xd-
