Chapter 133: Fruits of Victory (1)
"Warner won't allow it!" Before Bix could speak, a man behind him had already shouted "Twenty million?!" Warner's own investment in Harry Potter is only more than 30 million! You will need 20 million for an artist! You think you're the emperor superstar!? ”
"The lawyer's fees, which must be paid by Warner, are half a year's worth of fees, totaling 16 million dollars." Lin Xiaoli ignored him and said to Bix, "Within a week, if you don't settle the bill, I don't mind conducting a labor investigation on Superman's return!" ”
In a word, everyone was silent.
In 06, Warner has several big moves, needless to say Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean is not mentioned, other Poseidon, water monsters, don't mess with ants are all big investments, in addition, it is this Warner's ambition "Superman Returns." ”
Batman tasted the sweetness, how could Superman be missing a piece of the pie?
"You...... How do you know......" Bix collapsed on the couch, his eyes a little hollow.
The four people beside him all opened their mouths wide and looked at Lin Xiao like ghosts.
The momentum just now was violent, like a balloon that had been held back for breath, and it was punctured by a needle at this moment.
If it drags on, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Superman Returns, and Poseidon are all investigated, and Warner's losses are at least a billion dollars!
This is more than all of Sequoia's venture capital in Dawn!
Lin Xiao didn't answer him, this sentence was enough to break Warner's last composure.
The six people on the opposite side, their faces were almost the same pale, and they wanted to fight with Lin Xiao just now, but they had completely quieted down.
"In addition, the role of the clown must be played by me."
Bix listened to Lin Xiao's words blankly, and suddenly laughed.
It was a bitter, weak smile.
Mr. Lin...... You're such a horrible person...... I confessed ......"
"You know even the news of Superman's return...... Hehe...... You're playing a big game...... Not only did it make a name for itself in Hollywood, but we also had to present the most important role in Batman 2...... Hehe......"
"What? Don't you agree? Lin Xiao sneered.
There was silence for more than a minute before Bicks sat up with a long sigh.
"Agreed." His expression had regained his calmness, but if he looked closely, he could see a hint of unwillingness hidden in his eyes, "We agreed to your conditions." ”
"The money will arrive in the account within five working days." His voice was a little dry, "From now on, you have nothing to do with Warner." ”
"And the Joker." Lin Xiao kindly reminded.
Bix took a deep breath and said in a voice that was already trembling with anger, "After Joker, you have nothing to do with Warner!" ”
"It's up to me to decide when the clown will shoot." Lin Xiaoshen took a sip of coffee calmly, "If something similar happens again this time, our Dawn Temple is small and can't stand the toss." ”
"Smack!" Bix's hand pressed heavily on the table, the whole body leaned forward, Lin Xiao looked at him calmly, the other party's hair stood on end, his face was a little red and a little abnormal, and the sound of gritting his teeth could be heard clearly even from a short distance away.
The whole person is like a leopard that wants to choose someone to devour if it is stimulated at the slightest moment.
"Yes!" Those two words almost floated out of his teeth.
The five people behind him, the words Superman Returns, seemed to carry a wonderful magic, making them like five marionettes, and they didn't open a word again.
"In this case, I have already drawn up the contract, sign it, and I will take it to the notarization tomorrow." Lin Xiao didn't look at the other party's face that was already about to collapse with anger, picked up the phone and pressed it.
The door quickly opened, and an Asian man walked in with a thick file bag in his hand.
"Konykiwa." The man smiled and said hello, put the contract on the table, and said in fluent English, "Warner Bros. friends, we meet again." ”
Bix glanced at the other party coldly, he didn't want to talk to the other party at all, he just wanted to finish signing now, and then leave this damn place immediately!
"Mr. Bix, how can you forget me?" Unexpectedly, the man did not leave, but sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "Time Warner gave us a lesson of 800 million US dollars, and we only took 20 million, and this interest is not enough." ”
"You're from Sony?!" Suddenly, all six of them became alert.
Immediately afterward, a great humiliation came to their hearts.
Back then, Sony's sky-high deficit of 10.8 billion overseas created a miracle in the history of movies, a miracle of losers, and Steve Case, who led this matter at that time, took great credit, Sony took this as the biggest shame in his life, and now, it was they who signed the money-loss contract with their own hands, just like the expression of Sony signing the 800 million claim back then.
"It's really different every year...... Lin Xiao frowned with a sigh beside him.
Shame, indignation! All kinds of emotions were densely packed in the hearts of several people in an instant.
"Oops...... Guys, why be angry? I forgot to introduce, but I'm Junjun Ueizumi, a correspondent for Mr. Stringer, the CEO of Sony. Jun Kamiizumi pretended to be surprised and said, "It's only 20 million, 20 million." ”
He raised two fingers and dangled leisurely in front of Bix's eyes that wanted to eat people, "Compared to 800 million, it's still very little." Back then, our Sony suffered tens of billions of dollars in losses, and we didn't have such an ugly face...... Gee...... Lin Jun, look at their expressions......"
"I probably think the price is too light, but the court can only give such a high sentence, and I can't help it." Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and made an expression of powerlessness, "There will be a chance in the future, there will be a chance." ”
The six people were almost not turned to death by this two!
"Brush!" Bix's face was pale, like a zombie that had just crawled out of a grave, and he snatched the contract, flipped through the riders, and signed his name after reading it for less than ten minutes.
"Zla!" Because he used too much force, he was furious, and his last stroke directly cut through the paper!
Then, no one spoke, and everyone stood up, got up and left without saying a word.
Before they came, they still wanted to negotiate terms and suppress prices, but now, there is only one thing they want to do!
Give them a gun, they're going to kill these two!
I'm mad, I'm afraid these three words are tailor-made for them.
"They're not going to be, are they?" Jun Kamiizumi smiled, "I'm worried." ”
"Alright, everyone is gone." Lin Xiao picked up the contract with a smile and blew it, "This is equivalent to 180 million yuan......
"It's a pity, Lin Jun, you are not worth much now, otherwise Warner may have to go bankrupt this time." Jun Kamizumi said regretfully.
At this moment, suddenly, Lin Xiao's mobile phone rang.
"Mr. Lin." A somewhat fragmented voice came from the phone: "Where are you now?" ”
"Mr. Nolan?" Lin Xiao paused in some astonishment.
At the moment, his feelings for Nolan are quite complicated.
It stands to reason that in the first play where he showed his face in a foreign country, his relationship with Nolan should be considered good, but the other party stood up at the most critical time.
If it weren't for Lin Xiao and his backhand, then he would have died.
Although he understands that the other party is also entangled in contracts, if he doesn't stand up, then he has to follow in.
Hearing that Lin Xiao didn't speak, Nolan's voice sounded low but anxious.
"Lin, I know how you feel right now...... However, I still want to talk to you. ”
Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Beverly Hills, No. 72, Room 31." ”
He didn't want to see Nolan himself, he wanted to see how sincere Nolan really was.
"Wait for me for twenty minutes."
Nolan hung up the phone.
Jun Kamizumi went out with great interest, and in just fifteen minutes or so, Nolan came here in person.
He didn't speak, but quietly took a sip of coffee, and just sat in the room with Lin Xiaojing.
"I'm sorry." After a long time, he silently spoke, "My approach has hurt you, whether you believe it or not, I still have to say, I thought at that time, if you fail because of this, I will go to China and ask you to come out again." ”
Lin Xiao still didn't speak.
Nolan smiled bitterly, "Lin, the contract is the foundation of the United States, as long as it is signed, no one will break it...... I'd love to say I'm sorry, but once again, I'll still choose to testify. ”
"I know." Lin Xiao finally spoke, "Mr. Nolan, I know what you are doing, and there is nothing wrong in your position. ”
"But to know is to know, and to be sad is to be sad. Mr. Nolan, I'm sorry that I still think about that scene to this day. ”
Nolan was silent for a while, and said again, "I have decided, as long as I play, you can choose as the protagonist, I will never say much, I believe in your spirit and acting skills." As long as you like the character, I can nod my head. ”
Lin Xiao was stunned, how harsh Nolan was, he knew it, and he could see it by insisting on using models without special effects, but such a person, in order to seek a balance of mind, agreed to his seemingly child's play condition.
"I think it's going to be smooth when you step into Hollywood." Nolan continued, "Actually...... If you didn't have the qualifications to set foot in Hollywood before - I mean you used to be used to it for a while, and your reputation would rise slowly, but now you are definitely the most famous. ”
"Of course, your salary will not change because of this, but because of this incident, you have the opportunity to enter Hollywood early." His eyes flickered, "My intuition tells me that we will have many opportunities to work together in the future." ”
"However, I didn't do it for the sake of that, but really, for the sake of my own apologies, I decided."
What Nolan said was a little messy, but Lin Xiao's heart lit up.
He is very right, now that I am a great time to enter Hollywood!
Danger often comes with opportunity.
