But no matter how the executives of Twentieth Century Fox argued, the idea of winning the movie "Home Alone" was the same. The focus of the controversy was on the box office share, and in the end, a group of people did not quarrel with any result, but Justin's words made everyone feel that such a quarrel was really unnecessary.

"Since we can't judge the percentage of the share, why don't we throw this risk to the investors of this film? Wouldn't it be enough to ask him to write something in the contract? ”

With Justin's words, the debate about "Home Alone" has come to an end. Originally, such a contract should have been signed by the boss of their department, but Justin was busy with this matter from beginning to end, and their boss was embarrassed to reach out on it. So in the end, the handling of the film, Twentieth Century Fox, was left to Justin to deal with.

And for such authorization, Justin is also very concerned. If this thing is really done in his hands, then there will be a beautiful stroke on his resume, whether it is in Twentieth Century Fox or a company that goes out in the future, such a resume can give people a bright feeling. Of course, this must be something that will happen after the movie "Home Alone" is really successful.

Li Mingbao and they didn't have to wait long, because of Justin's words, the problem that couldn't be finished for a week was solved in only three days, so on the fourth day, Li Mingbao and they were invited to the Twentieth Century Fox Company.

When Justin told them some of their company's concerns as they were, Li Mingbao's face became strange.

"So, your company wants to pass on the risk? Can't you? You Twentieth Century Fox are also Hollywood giants, and you don't even want to take this risk, so how can you achieve what you are doing now? It's not kind to put all the risks on us, right? ”

Justin naturally doesn't understand the meaning of the word kindness, but he knows that it's not a good word, but he is worthy of being one of the bosses of the line, Justin's face didn't blush at all because of Li Mingbao's sarcasm, but said very seriously: "If your company has made great achievements in Hollywood, then our company will naturally not do this, but since you have no achievements, then you must also know the situation in Hollywood." ”

What Justin said, Li Mingbao naturally knows, it's nothing more than bullying, not to mention him Li Mingbao, even if he is a filmmaker with a high status in other countries, when he comes to Hollywood, he should be bullied, the same is bullied, Hollywood is backed by the United States, and they want to bully an outsider, it's too simple. As for what the back of this person abroad . Jing, for people here in Hollywood, it's about them?

was bullied, so naturally he wanted to fight back, but on the Hollywood side, even if Li Mingbao wanted to fight back, he couldn't beat these Hollywood giants. So knowing that he was being bullied, for the sake of future consideration, Li Mingbao couldn't help but swallow this bitter fruit. It's like in Hong Kong, when he faced the sixth uncle, he didn't have much power to fight back, in the final analysis, it was a matter of strength.

But fortunately, the risks that Twentieth Century Fox is worried about are not for Li Mingbao, because this film can stand the test of time. Now you can take advantage of this risk problem to put the sharing ratio in a position that is beneficial to yourself, and Li Mingbao is not a loss.

"Well, who calls our friendship the highest? In order to continue to cooperate in the future, the risk this time will be borne by our company. In this way, if the box office of this movie does not exceed 100 million, then the way our company shares it is 28, we take 20% except for the theater chain, and you take 80%.

Of course, in doing so, we must have a clear stipulation on the issue of advertising and cinemas, how much you must pay, and we will agree to such conditions. If we want to take all the risks that our company bears, then why should we cooperate with you Twentieth Century Fox? ”

Justin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Mingbao had agreed to this condition. Li Mingbao can regress, which is good for both sides. If it were a different movie, Justin wouldn't have to be so nervous at all, do you like to do it or not, we at Twentieth Century Fox don't ask you.

But for the movie "Home Alone", in some aspects, Twentieth Century Fox does have a place to beg Li Mingbao, if Li Mingbao is really determined to hand over this film to other companies, then Twentieth Century Fox will lose a lot of money.

"Mr. Li, if you do this, you will definitely be able to get the friendship of our company. Here, I can promise that in the future, all the films produced by your company can come to our company, as long as the film is not too bad, we can give you a satisfactory contract. Since Li Mingbao suffered a dark loss, Justin also began to make up for this problem from other places, and the commitment to the line is definitely a big pie for a small company like Li Mingbao.

Seeing that the carrot pie policy of the Twentieth Century Fox Company was playing smoothly, Li Mingbao was not good even if he wanted to have a bad temper, so he said directly: "Okay, I believe in the sincerity of your company, and I also believe that your company will reap great benefits because of this sincerity." We Huaxia people pay attention to win-win, and hope that our future cooperation can also meet such requirements.

Now let's talk about the movie. There is no box office of hundreds of millions, I mean that there is no box office of hundreds of millions in the North American market alone, so we are naturally divided into twenty-eight. But if there is a box office of hundreds of millions, not counting the total box office, and North America alone can meet such a requirement, then the agreement between our company and your company must be a four-six share, which is not only limited to North America, but also includes the total box office of the world. Your company shouldn't refuse to accept such conditions, right? ”

"Well, before I talk about this question, I would like to ask, has the same film been shot in Asia with the film in Mr. Lee's hand?" Justin asked casually.

"Oh, you know that, too? It's true that I made the same film in Hong Kong, but the main market for that film was Asia, and a large part of my current net worth comes from that film.

It's a success story like this, so I'm not surprised that this movie has been a success in Hollywood. Hearing Justin talk about this issue, Li Mingbao was surprised by the strength of these companies' channels, but he was not surprised to answer.

"Oh, but about this movie, I heard that Mr. Li, you sold the rights to this film to a Hong Kong person, so will there be any legal problems when you shoot this film here in North America? If there is a problem, then I have to apologize to inform you, I don't think we have anything to talk about about the cooperation of this film. Hearing Li Mingbao's admission, Justin said with some confusion.

This news was also found out after Justin took over the negotiation of this matter in the past two days. When he knew the news at the time, Justin was almost not mad by Li Mingbao, but thinking about Li Mingbao's actions in Hong Kong, coupled with the image left by Li Mingbao during the previous negotiations, he didn't look like an idiot no matter how he looked at it, so this question was raised inadvertently after Li Mingbao negotiated the way of sharing.

Justin's worries, Li Mingbao quite understands that Americans are quite obedient to the law, and without sufficient interests, especially for companies like Twentieth Century Fox, they will never let themselves be involved in the whirlpool of the law. Because then they will spend a lot of effort fighting the courts. You must know that a large part of the wealthy class in the United States was born as lawyers.

It is conceivable how much net worth such a lawsuit brings them. Dealing with such people, whether you win or lose, will not make people have a pleasant image. Because those lawyers who help themselves fight lawsuits also have to collect money.

"Mr. Justin, on this issue, I can tell you unequivocally that I did sign an agreement with Uncle Shao Liu, but that agreement only put the authorization I gave him in Asia, and the authorization for the Americas and Europe is still in my own hands.

So Mr. Justin, your concerns don't make any real sense. Although it seems that this will cost you the Asian market, the problem is that Hollywood movies have never had an advantage in the Asian market, and that place is completely barren for you, and has no real meaning. So about the contract, I didn't say it before. Li Mingbao said generously.

His reason is acceptable for Hollywood now. In these years, American films have not yet entered the Asian market, even on the Japanese side, American films do not have much influence, and those that can receive the box office are those blockbusters. If it is ten or twenty years later, Li Mingbao says this, it is enough for Justin to cut Li Mingbao in the contract to make up for the loss of their company.

But now, hearing Li Mingbao say this, Justin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, so that's the case, then this question is not a problem." "The American market is a place that Uncle Shao has not considered, and the Asian market is also a place that Hollywood has not considered.

Even if a Hollywood movie can make 200 million Hong Kong dollars there, it will only be less than 30 million US dollars when converted into dollars. If a movie does not gross more than 100 million, then 30 million dollars is not a small amount. But if it is a box office income of hundreds of millions and a box office of 30 million US dollars, it is really not worth exciting. You must know that when Hollywood movies go abroad, the proportion of box office collected by local cinemas must account for the vast majority. The box office of 30 million US dollars is only a few million dollars at most in their hands, so this amount of money is not worth thinking about.
