Chapter 29: Disney Arrives
readx;
Han Quanyou's leisurely days in Yuzhi did not last a few days, and he had to rush back to Seoul again, because the US Disney headquarters sent someone over to have a good talk with him. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Although Disney didn't say anything, Han Kwon-woo knew very well that it was nothing more than about the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
When he came to the company, the first thing Han Quanyou did was not to go to the conference room to meet the representatives sent by Disney, but instead came to his office, quietly lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.
Of course, Han Quanyou didn't do this to deliberately play a big name, after all, Han Quanyou is not qualified to play a big name with Disney at present, let alone Han Quanyou, even Johnny? Neither can Depp.
It's not because of the addiction to smoking, I want to smoke a cigarette first before I have the energy to consume it with the people sent by Disney. The reason why Han Quanyou did not rush to meet the Disney people, but went back to his office to smoke, the main purpose is to think, think and prepare his own language and vocabulary, so that he can wait and kill the other party.
Regarding this aspect of equipment, Han Quanyou had thought about and prepared before, especially in a few days in Yuzhi, because of the quiet environment, Han Quanyou's brain worked faster, basically everything that Han Quanyou could take into account was taken into account.
So, this time Han Quanyou summed it up a little, and it didn't take much time, the cigarette had just been lit, so Han Quanyou put out the cigarette and threw it in the ashtray, and then got up and walked towards the conference room.
"O~~~ Dear Lee, I'm so glad to meet you!" When Han Quanyou first came to the conference room, he saw an old acquaintance.
It's you, then things are much easier, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile brightly, and at the same time stretched out his hands to greet him: "Hey~ Simon, welcome to South Korea." β
That's right, this time the person sent by Disney was Simon, so after seeing who the other party was, Han Kwonwoo laughed completely. Because during the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead", Han Quanyou had been in contact with Simon for nearly half a year, so he naturally knew this girl's surname.
Since the opponent is a familiar and understanding person, then the next thing will be easy to do, and Han Quanyou also seems more confident in his lion's mouth.
"Simon, why did Disney send you to South Korea this time, did you plan to inspect South Korea and prepare to create a Disneyland in Seoul?" Beckoning Simon and his entourage to sit down, Han Quanyou said knowingly.
βnononoοΌβ Simon hurriedly shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no such thing at all, and we at Disney have never considered building a Disneyland in Seoul or even the whole of South Korea!" β
The Americans spoke so directly, ignoring the embarrassed expressions of Chi Zhendong and the others around them. Fortunately, Han Quanyou has no reaction or feeling at all about this, after all, South Korea is just a nest and an identity for Han Quanyou, not his motherland.
"Why is that?" Since you're not in a hurry to speak, then I'll spend it with you. Now Han Quanyou is not a novice a few years ago, he is frizzy in everything he does, and he is taken the initiative by others.
"Hehe, the reason is very simple, because of the South Korean economy, in fact, the South Korean economy is enough for us to consider building a Disneyland in Seoul, but you know, the establishment of a Disneyland is a big deal, there are a lot to consider, not only the economy, we also have to take into account the political aspects." Simon smiled and casually pointed to the north, the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Han Kwonwoo certainly understood what Simon meant, the meaning was very simple, that is, South Korea's economic conditions were sufficient, but the political threat was definitely a huge obstacle, even a fatal obstacle.
There is no way, as long as you are an earthling, you know the sensitive relationship between South Korea and North Korea, although the two countries are not like those places in Central Asia and Africa that are always at war, but the contradictions and wars between the two countries are too sensitive, if the two sides fight, it will not only be a war between the two countries, I am afraid that many countries will be implicated because of the issue of sensitive surnames, and then there will be big trouble.
The reason is very simple, South Korea's [***] power is really not comparable to North Korea, if you go head-to-head, South Korea is really not North Korea's opponent, although South Korea is rich, and it is much more advanced than North Korea in terms of weapons, but it is not North Korea's semi-national military system can be compared.
If North Korea can't be defeated, of course South Korea will ask for help, and the biggest target for help is naturally the United States, and the United States will certainly not watch North Korea destroy South Korea, and will definitely help.
With the help of the United States, North Korea will not be enough at all, and when the time comes, it will be the defeat of North Korea. And the United States and South Korea will certainly not stop the pace of their offensive just because North Korea has retreated to the 38th parallel, and they will definitely cross the 38th parallel, which will irritate China at that time.
There is no way, because of the geographical environment and sensitive surnames of North Korea, such as China's War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, if you don't want to help, you can't do it. Didn't you know that China had just ended the war, and all industries were waiting to be revived, so if you could, try not to continue fighting and recuperate.
But there is no way, some things are out of your control, and some things are out of your own control. But in any case, as long as the DPRK and the ROK do it twice, the two countries concerned will naturally lose the most.
The people at the Disney headquarters in the city of Seoul are not fools either, and given the sensitive relations between North and South Korea right now, of course they will not really make this decision. What's more, Seoul is also the capital of South Korea and is the primary target of the North Korean military, and the geographical location of Seoul is too good, it is too close to the 38th parallel, and even North Korea can directly hit the missile into Seoul at the 38th parallel.
"Hehe, so this time Simon you came to me, is there anything wrong?" Too lazy to continue the false chat with Simon, Han Quanyou asked directly. At the same time, he sighed helplessly, it seems that he is really not suitable to be a businessman, he has no potential.
"Hehe, this time I came to you, but I brought you good news." Seeing that Han Quanyou couldn't hold his breath and finally asked, Simon couldn't help but smile smugly.
"What good news!" Looking at Simon with a smug face, Han Quanyou forcibly held back the anger in his heart and asked along with Simon's words.
"Hehe, here's the thing, we at Disney are ready to continue filming Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and considering Lee's excellent performance in Pirates of the Caribbean 2, we hope you can continue to join this film." Simon didn't talk nonsense anymore and directly said what he meant.
"When?" Han Quanyou asked expressionlessly.
"Soon, a month at the latest." Thinking of having to explain before coming to South Korea, Simon also said with a serious face.
"So fast?" Han Quanyou pretended to be surprised, but he was secretly happy in his heart, hehe, no matter how cunning you are, it's useless, for this matter, buddy, I have worked hard, and I have been preparing for a long time.
"Of course, Lee, you know, time is money, and we have to hurry. This time, am I representing Walt? Disney Pictures officially issued an invitation for the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". Simon looked at Han Quanyou seriously and said.
Looking at Han Quanyou, who bowed his head silently and seemed to be thinking, Simon secretly cursed Johnny in his heart? Depp, if it weren't for this girl's persistence, he wouldn't have come all the way to South Korea.
Not to mention the hard work, looking at Han Quanyou's appearance, it seems that he has not rested enough, and he looks like he does not plan to continue working. That's not going to work, Johnny? Depp Naya said crazy that Han Quanyou will join me if he joins, and if Han Quanyou does not join, I will continue to take a vacation.
How is this possible, to know the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, Johnny? Depp's Captain Jack is the soul and core, and the audience is now accepting Johnny? Captain Jack, played by Depp, can even be said to only accept Johnny? Depp's Captain Jack, if Johnny? Depp doesn't participate in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", so what else does "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" do.
Thinking of the death order given to him from above, Simon couldn't help but curse Johnny secretly in his heart? Depp said a few words, and then showed a harmless smile: "Lee, we sincerely invite you to join the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". And, we're willing to pay you $12 million. β
"Hiss~~~" Simon's words suddenly made the surrounding Chi Zhendong and others take a breath of cold air, 12 million US dollars, how much is this. Thinking of this, everyone began to secretly calculate in their hearts, wanting to calculate how much 12 million US dollars would be converted into Korean won.
Hearing the sound of cold air from the people around him, although Simon's expression did not change in the slightest, he still looked harmless to humans and animals, but he couldn't help but snort disdainfully in his heart. A bunch of hillbillies, for just 12 million dollars, if you know Johnny? Depp's salary is $56 million, so wouldn't you be sent directly to the hospital for rescue.
Before coming, Simon also did a survey in advance, especially the economy of South Korea, and more precisely, the income of artists in the Korean entertainment industry. Simon believes that as long as he says $12 million in salary, Han Kwonwoo will definitely agree, and there is no reason not to agree.
However, when Simon, who looked confident, saw Han Quanyou still sitting on the chair with a calm face, bowing his head and not speaking, his heart couldn't help but burst, and a bad feeling rose from his heart.
"Lee, you know, we at Disney have shown our sincerity, 12 million US dollars, which is the top salary in Hollywood, and you only shot the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead Treasure", and the box office results of this movie don't know what the situation is. In this case, we at Disney can give you $12 million in remuneration, which is enough to prove our sincerity at Disney. β
The bad feeling became stronger and stronger, thinking of the death order from his superiors, Simon couldn't sit still, and began to persuade Han Quanyou to come.
The remuneration of 12 million US dollars is indeed a lot, but unfortunately, this is too different from the requirements in Han Quanyou's mind, if it weren't for Han Quanyou's self-control is not bad, I am afraid that when Simon says the remuneration of 12 million US dollars, he will turn the table and scold.
looked at Simon, who was a little nervous, Han Quanyou couldn't help sneering in his heart, what "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Treasure of the Dead" has not yet been released, and the remuneration given before I don't know the box office results is all nonsense.
Let's not say that I know the global box office results of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead", just the last time Johnny? Depp's reminder that in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Treasure", Disney estimates that the box office performance is not less than $500 million, which is destined to be $12 million.
It's not that Han Kwon Woo is arrogant and playing a big name, you know, even if the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead Treasure" is only 500 million US dollars, it is still a lot of money compared to Disney's investment.
In this case, the salary of 12 million US dollars is indeed less, you know, Han Quanyou's role in the movie is second only to Captain Jack's second role. For such an important role, the salary of 12 million US dollars is indeed too little.
It's impossible for Disney not to know this, or Simon said this, because Disney thought it was easy to deceive, or gave a reserve price first, and the two sides kept negotiating on the price.
To put it bluntly, it's bullying Han Quanyou, why don't you Disney bully Johnny? Depp also directly offered a super salary of $56 million.
Thinking that Disney was clearly bullying himself, or looking down on himself, thinking that he was worth the price, Han Quanyou was angry, TMD, since you are reluctant to pay, then don't blame me for being unkind, I was only going to ask for 35 million to do all the No. 2 actors, screenwriters, action directors and soundtracks. Not anymore, buddy works hard, buddy has changed his mind, and now it's as much as you can get.
"Hehe, let's not talk about the money, you also know, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Treasure of the Dead" has just finished filming, this movie has been filmed for a full eleven months, I haven't come yet, I am in a hurry to take a good rest, so anxious to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", is it too urgent."
Han Quanyou held back the anger in his heart and said with a smile.
"It's okay, we at Disney have decided, and we're very confident in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, so I can assure you that Pirates of the Caribbean 3 will definitely be a big-budget movie as well."
After listening to Han Quanyou's words, Simon thought that Han Quanyou was worried that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was a small-scale movie, and Disney didn't care. Thinking of this, Simon sneered while explaining, as far as you are an Asian, it is already very good to be able to let you participate in big-budget movies, that is an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, do you have it in South Korea. "Well, I also believe in Disney's financial resources and Disney's determination. To be honest, I don't have much of an opinion, but are you ready for this script? β
Too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Simon, Han Quanyou directly said the most critical point, which is also his biggest reliance.
"This ......" Simon's face couldn't help but change, he was really afraid of something, but he didn't expect Han Quanyou to say the most critical place in one sentence. Nonsense, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead" has just been filmed, and it has not even been released yet, how can there be a script for "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
"Hehe, this one isn't there yet!" After thinking about it for a moment, Simon said with an awkward smile.
"What, there is no script, you are ready to be busy filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", how do you shoot it, make a landscape film or a biography of the main actors?" Knowing that this was the case, Han Quanyou couldn't help sneering, but then stood up from the chair with a surprised face and said in surprise.
"Ahem, in fact, we Disney have also considered this, the script of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead Treasure" is also good, and we at Disney have also affirmed Lee's creative ability and talent in the script, so we want you to continue to serve as the script writer of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".
The script of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead Treasure", Disney is not generally sure, it is definitely quite sure. Therefore, for the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", Disney also thought of Han Quanyou for the first time.
"Ah~~~ You're going to start shooting in a month, how can I create it in such a hurry?"
"You can shoot while you're creating!" Simon said embarrassedly. (In fact, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" did just that, while busy filming, it made two English young screenwriters work hard to create, and the effect was not bad) "This is not good, after all, I still have to participate in the role, and I don't have time at all." Han Quanyou shook his head and said.
"Ten million dollars, 10 million dollars for script writing!" Simon didn't bother to continue dragging it out with Han Quanyou, and directly said the bottom line that Disney could do, and even the slow and long process of the reserve price was not carried out, and Simon broke out the highest price.
Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Disney executives will open such a bottom line after studying the script of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead" and affirming Han Quanyou's ability and talent in script creation.
"No, although there is a lot of money, but the time is too urgent, I don't have time to create at all, what I need is to calm down and create slowly, so as to ensure the quality of the script. You are also a professional, and you should know that the most important thing about the script is the quality. Han Kwon Woo shook his head and continued.
"Then you can say what you want, our Disney requirements are to only shoot as early as possible, and the shorter the time, the better." Simon can't help it, after all, what Han Quanyou said is also true, no matter how fast the script is created, but without quality and plot, it is rubbish. There was no way, Simon could only ask Han Quanyou depressedly.
"My general habit of writing a script is to divide it into five parts, and even if I try harder, I haven't been in a hurry to think about a sequel before, so I need a certain amount of time to continue to conceive and write the script, at least until the first part is finished. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the speed of the script with the pace of shooting. β
Han Quanyou shook his head helplessly and said, anyway, Han Quanyou is now going to be killed, and he has to insist on dragging it out until the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Treasure of the Dead", when he swept the major rankings and made a lot of money, he was able to take advantage of this east wind to put forward his own requirements.
