Edward's face on the side was green, he didn't expect Schwarzenegger to be a two-pole, he didn't speak through his brain, and he dared to say anything!

"Mr. Xu, Arnold is from the countryside and doesn't know how to be polite, I'll go back and teach him well." Edward hurriedly smiled and said, "Let's talk about the movie, how about it?" ”

"Not interested." Xu Guanwu coldly dropped a sentence, turned around and was about to walk away.

He is now a well-known investor in Hollywood, a major shareholder of 20th Century Fox, the third largest chain of theaters in the United States, and the big boss of CAA's brokerage company.

Arnold. Even if Schwarzenegger has potential, he is now just a young child, a starlet without the slightest fame. If he is allowed to speak disrespectfully to himself and does not react at all, then Xu Guanwu really has no majesty at all.

"Xu, what's going on?" At this time, Darryl, the host of the party, heard the voice and came over to see Edward. Presman & Arnold. Schwarzenegger glanced at him, "It looks like someone has upset you, do you want me to ask the security guards to take them out?" ”

Edward at this time. Presman was still just a small producer, having made two or three small-scale films, and he was not the famous producer who produced the "Wall Street" series, the "Raven" series, "The SWAT Judge" and other films.

Arnold. Schwarzenegger is just an actor who has just stepped into the film industry from the fitness world and has made one or two small productions before. It's not Hollywood's top action superstars who are popular all over Shijie with the "Barbarian Conan" series, "Terminator" series, "True Lies", etc.

Low-level filmmakers like the two of them can be said to be everywhere in Hollywood. Can't get into Darryl at all. Zaniuk's eye. And Xu Guanwu is an important guest of honor at his party tonight. So in order to avoid Xu Guanwu being harassed again. Darryl. Zaniuk also has to show a little bit of it.

"Forget it, it's just a little misunderstanding." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, he had no intention of embarrassing these two unlucky guys. The so-called leave a line in everything, and see each other well afterwards, it doesn't matter if you want to throw them out, you offend people in vain.

"Then I'll listen to you," Darryl nodded, then turned to look at Edward and Schwarzenegger. "Listen, I don't know how you got the invitation, and I don't want to pursue it anymore. But please drink in silence and stop disturbing my guests. ”

"Yes, Mr. Darryl, I don't think this kind of misunderstanding will ever happen in the future." Edward wiped a cold sweat and said. He's just a little producer, and Darryl. Zaniuk is the head of 20th Century Fox, he doesn't have to do anything but say a word to the outside, and he will have no place in Hollywood in the future.

"Mr. Xu. Also xiexie you. Edward smiled bitterly at Xu Guanwu again.

Xu Guanwu nodded and left with Daryl.

……

"Edward. Why be so afraid of those two people, it seems to me that it can be brought down with just one punch. Schwarzenegger said in English with a thick Austrian accent.

When he was serving in the Austrian army, he dared to drive a tank and race with his comrades, even if he was punished for it. He is naturally confident in himself, so he will not be afraid of anyone.

"Arnold, can you filter through your mind before you speak, this is not your Austrian countryside, nor is it a messy gym where no one cares what you say. But this is the top party in Hollywood, where everyone is a big boss, a well-known producer, a director, and they can ruin your future with a word. "Edward. Presman scolded angrily.

Originally, he wanted to take Arnold. Schwarzenegger is a living signboard, which can help him attract investment, but now it seems that Arnold's current grade is not worthy of such a high-end occasion. Growing up in the Austrian countryside, he has a knack for communicating with people, and he is like a brute bull that disrupts the whole party.

"Edward, I don't understand why you're so scared, with my six-time Mr. Olympia crown, are you afraid that you won't find a film company willing to hire me?" Schwarzenegger patted Edward's shoulder heartlessly.

Arnold. Schwarzenegger felt that Edward's worries were unwarranted, he had just finished filming the movie "Survival by Hunger", and he also played a very important role in it, which was on par with the Oscar nominee Jeff, which made Schwarzenegger full of confidence in himself.

Seeing that Schwarzenegger still looked indifferent, Edward couldn't help but press his beating temples depressedly, lest he accidentally burst his blood vessels by this mountain cannon.

In fact, Arnold. It's not the first time that Schwarzenegger has offended people by saying the wrong thing, and two days ago his new agent Larry. Kubick takes him to meet legendary Hollywood producer Dino. Morality. Laurentiis walked to someone's luxurious office, and then said in surprise, "Weishenme A small man like you needs such a big desk?" ”。

Dino. Morality. Laurentiis is a well-known producer in Hollywood and has won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. He has made more than 500 films in his lifetime, including "King Kong", "Dune Castle", "The Silence of the Lambs: A Prequel" and many more. No matter how big the star is, he has to be respectful in front of him, but he didn't expect Schwarzenegger's mountain cannon to come out with such a sentence, which immediately made the old man angry, and the meeting only lasted for one minute and forty seconds, and it ended directly.

Edward. If Presman had known that Schwarzenegger had such a "prestige history" before, he would never have brought him directly to this party. He is just a small producer, not to mention the eight major Hollywood film companies, even if it is a smaller company, he does not dare to offend. Today's invitation card was also obtained after swiping up the favor card, and I originally wanted to be able to meet one or two investors and attract investment for my film. Now it seems that it has all been ruined by this non-speaking Arnold.

……

"Xu, do you want me to say something to the outside? Those two people will be removed from Hollywood from now on. "Darryl. Zaniuk suggested with a smile.

"No, it's just a little misunderstanding." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, thinking that he could be like Schwarzenegger. It's not much to play the Terminator so cool. Or don't do it for such a trifle. Ruined a future Hollywood action superstar.

"You're still too kind, in my opinion, you have to show your muscles when it's time to show them." Darryl. Zaniuk shouted in disbelief.

……

After the party, the next day, it was the 48th Academy Awards.

In the morning, Xu Guanwu went to 20th Century Fox and received 20% of Fox shares, officially becoming 20th Century Fox. The majority shareholder of one of Hollywood's eight major studios. A brief but grand ceremony was held to join the board of directors, and Xu Guanwu also had his own seat and voting rights.

For Xu Guanwu, a legendary investor, to enter the board of directors, the other shareholders of Fox are both welcoming and looking forward to it, but at the same time hiding deep suspicions.

Xu Guanwu has invested three times and achieved great commercial success three times, and the process during this period has been excavated in detail by the media, all with a hint of myth and legend. But after he joins the board of directors, it will be interesting to see whether he can show that ability.

Regarding the news that Xu Guanwu joined the board of directors, 20th Century Fox also immediately issued a press release, the purpose of which was nothing more than to provide good news. Spurring sluggish stock prices to rise.

For this point, Xu Guanwu did not have the slightest resistance. Anyway, he needs publicity now, and it is quite an honor to be able to join the board of directors of Fox as a Chinese.

After the press release was issued, Fox's stock rose in response, from just $3 to $5, nearly doubling its market value and swelling shareholders' pockets.

"Xu, it seems that you are indeed very popular in the hearts of the American people, and they all trust you so much." Darryl said with a happy smile.

He is also one of the major shareholders of 20th Century Fox, and his purse is rising at the same time as the stock price rises. Moreover, after the stock price rises, the company's popularity increases, and it is relatively easy to refinance in the future.

"This kind of stock price rise is only temporary, and the key is to launch haode videos in a timely manner, so that everyone can see more hope, and the stock price may stabilize at a high level." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

He didn't know much about stocks before, but after doing more business in mergers and acquisitions, he became a little enlightened.

"I mean, I don't know if you have any haode suggestions?" Darryl. Zaniuk couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Didn't you mention yesterday that you wanted to make a sequel to 'Rocky' and 'Jaws.'" Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, "I want to cooperate." ”

"Really?! That's just great. Darryl couldn't help but say excitedly, "How are you going to work together?" ”

The film copyrights of "Jaws" and "Rocky" are in the hands of Xu Guanwu, and the adaptation rights of the sequel are also in his hands.

"It's very simple, I will release the sequel adaptation rights, you will pay for it, and I will account for 20% of the box office revenue." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Darryl listened and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Think about it, you can earn at least 45 percent of the box office revenue, even if you remove the production costs and publicity expenses, your income will be more than 30 percent of the revenue." Xu Guanwu explained, "And you also know how popular "Jaws" is, as long as the shooting is not too bad, there will be tens of millions of dollars in income." ”

Darryl's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Yes, but the contract has to add two ancillary clauses, if the U.S. box office does not break 100 million US dollars, then you can only get 15% of the box office share." And in the future, Fox will own the copyright to Jaws just like you, and no one can shoot a sequel without our mutual consent. ”

"That's not good, you own at most one-third of the copyright, and if you shoot a sequel, you'll get a certain amount of royalties." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "But the copyright must be in my own hands." ”

"Okay, that's it." Darryl thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then which movie are you going to give us?!" ”

"This Jaws." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

Although he knows that the movie "Jaws" has made a sequel, in fact, it has nothing to do with the original book, and it is a sequel redeveloped based on the movie, so there is no need to pay any copyright fees to the original author. As for the content of the sequel story, it should be the film company where the copyright of "Jaws" is located, and it is found to find someone to write another script.

And that sequel is exactly what Xu Guanwu hasn't watched, so although Xu Guanwu knows that "Jaws 2" is also a success, but what story the sequel tells, who will be the director, and who will play the protagonist, Xu Guanwu doesn't know anything, so it's best to throw this mess to 20th Century Fox.

Anyway, I don't have to pay a penny, and I can also enjoy a minimum box office share of 10% and 5, I don't know how comfortable it is.

"What about Rocky?" Darryl asked again.

"Sylvester. Stallone is recovering right now, and trust me, you wouldn't want to see him like this. Xu Guanwu shook his head, "So after he recovers, we'll talk about the sequel." ”

"That's right." Darryl nodded understandingly.

He has seen too many celebrities become famous overnight, and then they don't know self-love, and they quickly sink into oblivion. (To be continued......)
