To be honest, Jon Landau doesn't really believe that Boss Jia can take over this investment, but he has searched for all the investors he can find, and none of them have been successful, so now he can only give it a try and ask Director Chen Da to ask Boss Jia to come over.

"Mr. Jia, it's hard for you to make a trip!" Jon Landau laughed.

"It's okay, I was staying in the hotel to watch a movie, and I happened to be idle, so I came over!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"It turned out that I came here because I was idle and had nothing to do......" Jon Landau felt bitter in his heart, it seems that this Chinese person is not worth counting on, but since the person is here, Jon Landau still has to ask.

"Since Mr. Jia already knows about the movie, I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing to invest in the Titanic?"

"It all depends on how much money you need to invest!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"This ...... The amount of investment can be very large! Jon Landau sighed, and Director Chen on the side looked at Boss Jia nervously.

I only hope that Boss Jia will not refuse too ugly, so that he will completely lose face, not only lose people, but also offend people. If you offend the top management of 20th Century Fox, you may affect the final selection result of the Oscars.

So Director Chen Da was anxious in his heart, he just hoped that Boss Jia could refuse to be tactful, he never considered that Boss Jia would agree to invest, after all, this script looks too pitiful, if he was Director Chen Da, he would never dare to shoot this script.

"It's okay, just say it, isn't it just about money!" Boss Jia smiled arrogantly, and Jon Landau sighed again, only thinking that this guy was the same as Director Chen, he was a guy with no bounds.

"If we want Mr. Jia to invest $35 million, I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing?" Jon Landau ended up giving a limit number.

He felt that 20th Century Fox should eventually be able to get $100 million if he tried his best, and $35 million was the minimum figure for foreign investment, and he had done his best to keep it to the minimum.

"No way!" Boss Jia shook his head very dryly, and his heart was cold when Director Chen heard it, this refusal was too blunt. But think about it, at least 35 million US dollars, 175 million yuan if converted into RMB!

Such a large amount of money is invested in making movies, if you lose it, it will really be a loss.

However, Jon Landau had been prepared, and he didn't expect Jia Yapeng to really agree.

As a result, in the next second, I heard Boss Jia say, "35 million is a bit less, it's boring, add a little!" ”

"Clam ......" Director Chen Da called out directly, and Jon Landau on the side was also very surprised, wondering if the guy in front of him was a liar, and he actually agreed so simply, and he thought that this number was less.

"The 50 million?" Jon Landau asked tentatively.

"I don't think it's better like this, let's swap it, how about I pay 100 million US dollars, and your company pays 35 million?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Mr. Jia! You're not kidding, are you? Jon Landau stood up violently, staring at Boss Jia with blazing eyes.

"Do you think I'm a joker?" Boss Jia laughed, "What, do you think Fox has less money?" If that's the case, we can continue to talk, otherwise how about one and a half? ”

"That...... I think our company's 35 million is enough! When Jon Landau heard this, he hurriedly said.

What are you kidding, this movie project is destined to lose, of course, the less money you pay, the better, who would want to pay more, Jon Landau even wants to transfer this film project directly to Boss Jia.

"But Mr. Jia, you see this is also a big project, let's go a regular way, we need to go a priori with funds, you see ......" Jon Landau said a little tactfully.

"It seems that Mr. Landau doesn't believe that I have so much money!" Boss Jia laughed, "Actually, I've met with your gentlemen at Fox a few times before, but it's a pity that no cooperation was reached at that time." ”

"What?" Jon Landau was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember when the company met Jia Yapeng.

"Oh, I'm not talking about your Fox movies, I'm talking about Fox TV, and a week ago, I almost reached a partnership with Fox TV to sell the exclusive rights to its Pokemon animation to your TV station. But unfortunately, due to some special reasons, this cooperation still failed! Boss Jia said with a smile.

That's right, 20th Century Fox, like Fox TV, is Murdoch's property.

"You are Mr. Jia, the chairman who made Pokemon!!" Jon Landau stood up violently, and his attitude was so fierce that Boss Jia was taken aback.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my identity? Boss Jia asked.

"No, there is no problem, since your company is the production company of Pokemon, then you must have no problem with your funds, now the whole country knows that Pokemon has sold 8 million copies, and you have earned at least 200 million US dollars, of course you can afford this $100 million investment!" Jon Landau said excitedly.

"That's good! That's good! Looking at Jon's overly excited expression, Boss Jia was also a little puzzled, isn't it just a Pokemon? As for getting the other party excited to this extent?

"Mr. Jia, I don't know if you're interested in shooting an animated movie of the Pokemon series?" Jon Landau couldn't wait to ask, feelings 20th Century Fox has taken a fancy to the movie rights of the Pokemon series.

On the other side, Director Chen Da couldn't interject at all, he didn't even know what a Pokemon was, he seemed to have directly become a transparent person.

——————————————

After some close communication, Jon Landau reported back to the board.

On the second day, Boss Jia finally reached a cooperation agreement with 20th Century Fox.

The Titanic was jointly invested by Jia Yapeng and 20th Century Fox, of which 20th Century Fox invested $35 million and Boss Jia invested $100 million. All the box office profits generated in the future, except for the fixed share to the director, all the remaining box office profits, 20th Century Fox will get 35%, and Boss Jia will get 65%.

In terms of the proportion of capital contribution, Boss Jia obviously suffers a loss, after all, according to the proportion of capital contribution, Boss Jia should share 77% of the profits.

However, 20th Century Fox also has to undertake the task of film production, and the specific work of film shooting is also responsible for 20th Century Fox.

Although Boss Jia contributed a lot of money, he didn't care about the specific things, he was just responsible for paying the money, and it was naturally impossible to make profits according to the proportion of capital contribution.

However, because the law of the United States does not allow individuals to invest in movies, it must be in the form of a company, so Boss Jia established Daqian Film Entertainment Company in the United States by the way, and participated in this cooperation as Daqian Entertainment.

It is worth mentioning that the night before the two parties signed the contract, Director Chen Da came to visit Boss Jia.

This guy is very interesting, he actually proposed that he could be the director of the Titanic and replace Cameron. The reason is very simple, Boss Jia has more money, so he should naturally use his own people who are more trustworthy to be the director, and he Director Chen Da will soon be a big director who can win the Oscar, and using him is naturally the best choice.

When Boss Jia heard this request, he almost didn't beat Director Chen out with a stick. If this movie is really directed by a big director, then I am afraid that I will accompany my grandmother to my grandmother's house if it is not true, and no one can direct this movie well except Cameron.

So Boss Jia directly refused, saying that according to the contract, he was only responsible for paying for the money and not interfering in the specific shooting of the movie.

As a result, it didn't take long for Jon Landau to really call, and Director Chen Da actually talked to him about the film director, Jon Landau asked with a black face, did he mean to change the director, is it Jia Yapeng's request.

In this regard, Boss Jia was angry and annoyed, and then resolutely said that this had nothing to do with him, Director Chen Da was not suitable to be the director of this movie, and the director was only Cameron.

In this regard, Director Chen Da can only be gloomy alone.
