Han Quanyou was stunned at first, and looked at Harry with a worried face? Sloane burst out laughing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Old Harry, don't worry, it's not as bad as you think!" After speaking, Han Quanyou lit a cigarette with his customary surname, spit out the smoke ring and said, "For this time James? Cameron-directed films, I'm really interested, I can swear, James? Cameron's directing of this movie is definitely a miracle, and even this miracle is not one, there are many. So, for this time with James? Director Cameron's cooperation, I absolutely do not have the slightest opinion, on the contrary, I am very resolute, must be with James? Director Cameron collaboration! ”

"Actually, in yesterday's meeting, I already talked to James? Director Cameron talked about it. James? Director Cameron's request is very simple, that is, to delegate power, and at the same time be prepared to spend no more than $10 on production, and he only needs to get 30% of the total box office income of the movie! ”

Speaking of which, Han Quanwoo stretched out his hand to stop Harry, who was shocked and wanted to say something? Sloan continued to say lightly: "Five hundred million dollars, is it a lot, indeed, it is really a lot, especially in terms of the production cost of the movie, five hundred million dollars is definitely the most expensive movie in the history of the film at present!" ”

Speaking of which, in Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise looked puzzled, Han Quanyou propped his hands on the conference table, and his whole body exuded a strong momentum.

"However, you must know that in this president today, there is a contrast between income and dedication. If you want to get a big gain, then you have to pay more before you get that gain. Is 500 million dollars a lot, indeed, but we gambled, and I can tell you unequivocally that the benefits that this movie can bring us in the end are definitely several times more than what we paid, if not more. In this case, I really can't think of any reason to refuse! ”

"But boss, we really don't have any money at MGM Pictures. Even if we don't prepare "Wanted", even if we don't pay our employees, don't eat or drink, even if "Transformers 1" exceeds $1 billion at the global box office, we won't be able to come up with $500 million in the end, including a debt that must be repaid! ”

Harry? Sloan was telling the truth, and just now in the middle of the discussion, Han Kwonwoo also learned about the current financial situation of MGM Pictures. In addition to all necessary expenses, MGM Pictures only had about $315 million left in the end. If you add in the purchase royalties and production costs required for "Wanted", I am afraid that 300 million US dollars will disappear like this, and in the end, MGM Pictures will only have less than 50 million funds left.

About 50 million funds, which is the same as James? Director Cameron asked for $500 million, which is a tenfold difference, and MGM Pictures can't come up with it at this time.

Although MGM Pictures has begun to rise with the success of "Transformers 1", it has also made MGM Pictures' fame, interests and brand start again. But after all, MGM Pictures still has these billions of dollars of high debt, and in this case, I am afraid that few banks are willing to lend MGM Pictures $500 million at this time.

I have to say that this is also MGM Films' own findings, a few years ago, when foreign debts were added, MGM Films also chose to take out loans from banks, at that time MGM Films was still very influential, and banks were willing to give MGM Pictures loans.

Unfortunately, after the loan, MGM Pictures still did not make any successful films, and in the end, the mess became bigger and bigger, which gradually made the major banks lose confidence in MGM Films.

You must know that today, almost half of MGM Film's huge foreign debts are owned by major banks. When it is uncertain that MGM Pictures will really get back on its feet and pay off all its debts, I am afraid that at this time, the major banks will not open the door to MGM Films.

"Forget it, since that's the case, then let's change the way, it's a big deal, we MGM Pictures will decide everything by ourselves, don't borrow loans from banks, even if it's funds, they will be transferred to banks outside the United States, such as Swiss banks!"

When I am in trouble and need help, you stand by coldly and do not lend a helping hand, so good, even if we get through the difficulties and return to glory, you don't want to get any benefits from yourself.

Therefore, Han Quanyou suddenly decided that in the future, the funds of MGM Film Company will never be deposited in any bank in the United States. Regarding Han Quanyou's decision, whether it is Harry? Sloan or Jason? Cruise is very supportive and approveful, after all, the two are not less angry with the banks in the United States.

This also led to the fact that MGM Pictures got back on its feet and paid off all its debts. In the face of the major local banks in the United States coming to discuss cooperation, hoping that MGM Pictures could deposit the money in their own banks, MGM Pictures unceremoniously refused, and directly transferred all the excess funds to Swiss banks, which also made the local banks in the United States regret it.

"Anyway, this movie must be cooperated, since MGM Pictures can't come up with this money, then it doesn't matter, the 500 million US dollars, I paid it privately!" Han Quanyou said very decisively, you must know that the global box office of "Avatar" is 2.7 billion US dollars, let alone 500 million US dollars, even if it is 1 billion, 1.5 billion, 2 billion US dollars, it is still a big profit, why can't I make this money!

"Really!" Listen to Han Kwonwoo say this, Harry? Sloan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Lee, you can really give 500 million dollars privately, if that's really the case, why don't you inject these 500 million dollars into MGM Pictures, I promise, these 500 million dollars in MGM Pictures will definitely be better than investing in Taces?" Cameron's movie will bring greater and more benefits. ”

Han Quanyou rolled his eyes and looked at Harry with disdain? Sloane, you really dare to say it. If you really had this ability, then MGM Pictures would not have made it the way it is now, and made a big bargain.

When MGM Studios had a crisis, you took out loans from major banks in the United States, and you didn't see any good movies come out. Rely on~~~ If you weren't so nonsense, MGM Pictures would not have reached $4 billion in foreign debt.

Uh~~~ But Han Quanyou doesn't want to think about it, if this is not the case, he can especially spend such a small price to become the head of the new generation of MGM Films, and he still belongs to the absolute control of complete control.

"It's not that it can't be, it's just that I invested $500 million in MGM Pictures, what benefit can I have, can the company's shares really increase in price a little more?"

Looking at Harry with an expectant look? Sloan, Han Quanyou said disdainfully. Although I am the new boss of MGM Pictures, you can't always let me pay for it alone and throw all the money into MGM Pictures. Why don't you pay for it yourself, you know, MGM Pictures is not your own company, you all hold shares, and you are also board members.

"This, ahem~~~~, you now have an absolute controlling stake in MGM Pictures, what do you need so many shares for. You are now the new boss of MGM Pictures, MGM Pictures is currently in a crisis, and you should take the money out and help MGM through this! ”

Harry? Sloan coughed awkwardly and said with some embarrassment. Han Quanyou took 500 million US dollars and injected it into MGM Pictures again, what benefits can he get, unless everyone injects the corresponding money into the company according to their own shares in MGM Films, which is fair.

Otherwise, Han Quanyou would come out with the money alone, which is too much to say. Give Han Quanyou a little more shares, how is this possible, now seeing that MGM Pictures has begun to rise, coupled with yesterday's business meeting, Hollywood officials have given MGM Pictures huge benefits and benefits, and no one can stop the rise of MGM Films.

In this case, Harry? Sloan and others, how could they give up some of their shares to Han Quanyou. You know, when MGM Pictures really rises, then you can hold a little more MGM Pictures in the future, and when the year-end dividends come, it will be a lot of money!

Harry? Sloan and others, after all, are still businessmen, but they know more about movies than businessmen. Since it is a discussion, of course, it attaches great importance to its own interests. There was really no way to let Han Quanyou pick up a big bargain, otherwise, Han Quanyou would not be able to become the new boss of MGM Films, even if he became the new boss of MGM Films, it would definitely not be what he could do with just spending more than a billion dollars.

Now not to mention that more than a billion dollars have been smashed into MGM Pictures to become the new boss of MGM Films, if MGM Pictures does not have any foreign debts, these billions of dollars, even if they want to buy 10% of MGM Pictures' shares, it is basically impossible.

"My money is also money, I can't throw all my money into MGM Pictures for no reason, I must also get relative benefits!" Han Quanyou said calmly, Qian Han Quanyou relied on the financial crisis, and now he is indeed super rich, only 500 million US dollars, Han Quanyou really doesn't care, but he can't throw money into it in vain like this, he has no benefit at all, what is this, count himself as the obligation of the new boss of MGM?

Of course, if Harry? Sloan and the others are willing to give up a little bit of the shares, as long as it is not too much, even if the shares are a little less, it doesn't matter, then Han Quanyou will not hesitate, and will definitely take out 500 million US dollars to inject MGM. After all, Han Quanyou really hopes that MGM Pictures can develop and grow, and the pirated movies in his mind are also destined to bring MGM Pictures back into the forefront of the eight major Hollywood film companies, and even become the first again.

But look at Harry at the moment? The reaction of Sloan and others obviously did not allow Han Quanyou to give up some shares. Everyone is not stupid, and naturally knows that this little bit of shares now, when MGM Pictures really stands up and turns over, this little bit of shares, I'm afraid that the dividends every year in the future will be hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

"You can't let my new boss pay for it privately, since I became the boss of MGM Pictures, I haven't gotten any benefits, and I even have to work for MGM Films, while taking money into MGM Pictures to maintain the hearts of MGM Films, and at the same time I have to be busy writing scripts and shooting movies. Contribute money and effort, there is no benefit and benefit, what kind of boss is this, the whole Hollywood, any company in the whole world, is there a poor boss like me? Don't tell me how beautiful it is to be the new boss of MGM Pictures, I don't see the scenery now, and I can't see it. Even if MGM Pictures really rises and turns over, I really don't want anyone to know my specific identity, so I don't care about the scenery, popularity and influence. ”

Han Quanyou's words, is it Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise and the others looked guilty, everyone thought about it carefully, if they had changed themselves to Han Quanyou's position, I am afraid that they would have quit a long time ago, who would bear this grievance. Thinking of this, everyone became more and more guilty.

Looking at everyone's guilty expressions, Han Quanyou felt a little more comfortable, at least these guys still knew guilt. As for Harry who opened his mouth? Sloan, Han Quanyou didn't say anything, although there was a certain amount of selfishness, but it was indeed for MGM Pictures, there is no doubt about it.

Of course, in the matter of MGM Cinemas, it also made Han Quanyou a big bargain, for Harry? Sloan felt more respect and gratitude. After all, MGM Studios can really be said to be Harry? Sloane gave himself an extra gift, this gift was so big that Han Quanyou had always been to Harry? Sloan felt guilty and apologetic.

"Anyway, with James? Director Cameron's collaboration, it's a must! Seeing that everyone was silent, Han Quanyou immediately made a decision.

"It's a pity that we really don't have any money at MGM Studios!" Looked at Han Kwon-woo, Harry? Sloan reminded again.

"I said, this 500 million US dollars, I can pay out of my pocket privately, and I want 50% of the total box office of this movie. Plus James? Director Cameron asked for 30 percent, and the remaining 20 percent was given to MGM Pictures, which can be regarded as MGM's own income! ”

"So what do we need to do?" Now, Harry? Sloan doesn't talk about money anymore, and when it comes to business, Harry? Sloan is still very serious and cautious.

"Escort for this film, operate, promote, and pave the way. In short, everything has to make way for this film, as soon as possible, and treat this film as if it were the only film that could save us from MGM Pictures. I promise that this movie will definitely create a box office miracle, and when the time comes, MGM Pictures will definitely make a lot of money with 20% of the box office dividends, and you must also be worthy of this money! ”

Jason? Cruise shook his head disapprerovingly, making a lot of money, can create a box office miracle, so how much box office can this movie have, can surpass the global box office of "Titanic" of 1.7 billion US dollars, what kind of joke is this, even if it is the epic blockbusters "The Lord of the Rings 3 The Return of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3 The End of the World", such a ferocious movie can't break the box office results of "Titanic", is this movie okay?

Don't think this movie is James? The movies directed by Cameron, both of which are directed by the same director, were able to break the box office results of "Titanic". After Titanic, James? Cameron's movies have not been filmed, how can I not see any movie that can surpass the box office results of "Titanic"!

Harry? Sloan nodded and said, "Okay, I promise, as long as it's really with James?" Director Cameron has negotiated, then we at MGM Pictures will definitely be fully responsible for this film to ensure that it is worthy of 20% of the box office, God forbid, I hope that this 20% box office can be more. ”

Listened to Harry? Sloan's prayer, Han Quanyou smiled disapprerovingly, and didn't say anything. You still pray, what is there to pray for, I am afraid that when the time comes, the hard work and dedication of all the staff of MGM Pictures, the benefits brought by the global box office of "Avatar" 20% will not be worthy of everyone's hard work.

Jokes, you'll know when the time comes, don't look at just 20 percent of the global box office, but this 20 percent, that's at least the equivalent of 540 million dollars. MGM Pictures didn't pay a penny, and it was able to get $540 million just by contributing, which was definitely the most cost-effective deal in the history of film.

An hour later, Han Quanyou and the others left the conference room, and Han Quanyou went directly back to his villa to rest, and Harry? Sloan and Jason? Cruise, in accordance with Han Kwon You's orders and requirements, headed to Universal and James respectively? Directed by Cameron, rushed over.

At nine o'clock in the evening, when Han Kwonwoo had just finished talking to South Korea's Park Jin-young about the recent situation of SS Company, he had just had time to rest. Sloan's call came, telling Han Quanyou Universal and James? Cameron's affairs on both sides have been settled.

This is definitely a huge piece of good news, although I don't understand why Universal so readily gave up the copyright of "Wanted", what does it matter, the main thing is that the movie "Wanted" has been taken by MGM.

According to "Wanted", the global box office is at least 500 million US dollars, plus I can modify some unnecessary and problematic plots, and even fans don't like them, I believe that the box office results will be better.

According to the production cost of "Wanted", the production cost is 75 million, even if it is 100 million US dollars because of some plot modifications. MGM Pictures is also making a full $400 million, if not more, which is definitely good news.

And James? Director Cameron's side, thinking of the terrifying box office miracle of "Avatar", Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile and laughed very happily.

This time, with "Avatar", plus "Wanted", counting all the series adaptation rights of "Twilight", as well as the "Transformers" movie series in his head, Han Quanyou believes that as long as he is willing to inject a little more money into MGM Pictures, he can let MGM Pictures shoot these movies at the same time, then it will only take a year, and the impact and income brought by these movies will definitely make MGM Pictures pay off all the foreign debts. In the true sense of the word, fully stand up and rise again.

Standing by the window with a glass of red wine, looking at the dark scenery outside, Han Quanyou not only did not feel depressed, but on the contrary, his heart was full of hope, as if the gray scenery that was dark outside and occasionally had a few rays of light suddenly appeared a gorgeous rainbow at this moment.

Because Han Quanyou knows that from this moment on, this also means that MGM Pictures has begun to go full speed!
