Chapter 262: Negotiating with Female Companion Emma
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
"Mr. Luo, I finally saw you."
Catherine sat down firmly in the chief seat, calmly sorted out the documents, and greeted Luo Yang cordially.
"Hello, Ms. Kennedy," Luo Yang also replied indifferently, "It is really an honor for our studio to work with you Universal Pictures." β
"Mr. Luo, time is limited, so I'll just say it directly. First of all I learned that you and Tom. Calvin's "Inception" and "2012" are both very good films, and the film projects you propose are very attractive. Secondly, I am also very optimistic about the project "Reversal of the Battlefield". β
Catherine's professional smile, kind and cold.
She continued: "Now, the production of the film seems to be going relatively smoothly and we can release it ahead of schedule. So about the box office dividends, we have to talk about it. β
Luo Yang opened his laptop and prepared to start calculating and recording data. At the same time, Catherine gave Royan her distribution plan at a very fast pace.
"The global box office of this film, I guess it is more than 200 million US dollars, but it will not exceed 250 million. Considering the cost of $50 million, excluding the cost of publicity, in fact, our profit margin is not large. Catherine said, "Universal will give Titan Studios a basic return, which is a fixed $12 million. This script was polished by you, and there was also a part of the contribution during the filming of the movie. β
Catherine added, "I'm still fighting for you, and if you do what Vice President Blake wants, you might only get $8 million." β
"$12 million..."Royan recorded Catherine's distribution plan in full, and at the same time, he thought carefully, this money is indeed not too little.
Royan is just one of the producers, and his small studio is also the distributor behind Universal. In terms of film production, Universal Pictures went through the process and provided various resources. There is no doubt that they are the most credited. The distribution of profits, generally small studios, can only obey the big film companies.
After much deliberation and long discussions, Royan made a bold decision.
"I chose to give up the basic returns. We reworked a plan for box office sharing. β
As soon as Luo Yang's words came out, the four bigwigs, secretaries, and assistants present were in an uproar. Only Catherine's face did not change in the slightest, and she thought calmly.
"I'm confident in the box office that will turn the tide of the war." Luo Yang looked at the computer screen and said, "After removing the cost and publicity expenses, if the total box office profit of the film company is less than 100 million, our studio will only receive 500,000 US dollars in cost expenses." However, if the total box office profit exceeds 100 million, then my Titan Pictures gets 25% of the portion other than 100 million. β
"Very interesting choice." Catherine looked at Royan with interest, "Are you sure?" You're probably only going to get $500,000 instead of the $12 million I set for you. She tapped her folder lightly.
What is the wealth and danger! The words have been spoken, and Luo Yang is not ready to go back.
"Of course I'm sure. As long as you agree, Ms. Kennedy, we can sign the agreement now. Luo Yang smiled.
"The people I usually deal with are the top movie creators in the industry - they are younger, in their 40s. And the older ones, like Ridley Scott, are in their 70s. For the first time, I sat at a conference table with a lad as young as you and discussed box office splits. β
However, Luo Yang deliberately grew a beard today, and his hair was combed into a big back, and he looked at least four or five years more mature than usual.
"I admire you, lad."
Catherine propped her chin in her hands and smiled approvingly at Royan. Then she arranged for her assistant to prepare the agreement, and at the same time spat out two or three sentences, and pushed down the objections of a Universal Pictures bigwig.
Soon, Luo Yang signed a contract agreement with the bigwigs of Universal Pictures on behalf of his studio.
Obviously, Luo Yang is also a game, either losing all his money, or making a lot of money. Next, instead of just waiting for the film to be completed, Royan also needs to make some connections and find any Hollywood resources other than Universal to raise the public's expectations for the film.

When I first arrived in Los Angeles, I was indeed busy, and there were many things that needed to be done by Luo Yang.
At the same time, at the residence, he had to fight with Miss Emma Frost, and Royan was also tired.
In addition to being busy at work, he has not forgotten his sister who he has never met.
And when Royan used the mobile phone given by his mother Dinah to contact Caroline, she never answered, did not reply to text messages, and did not answer the phone, as if the number was unused.
On the weekend after the negotiations were completed, Catherine. Kennedy invited Royan to the banquet, a typical everyday celebration in Hollywood.
And the host of this celebration banquet is Harvey. Weinstein! A top Hollywood producer with a big name!
Harvey Weinstein has made a name for himself in the past world, but he has also had a lot of criticism. There are countless girls and actresses with his unspoken rules. (In 17 years, Hollywood broke all kinds of fierce news, and the trees fell and the monkeys scattered... His image completely collapsed. οΌ
For Royan, the celebration party held by Weinstein is naturally a great opportunity for Royan to meet Hollywood bigwigs and enter the upper class, and at the same time, he can also get a lot of resources that are beneficial to the promotion of the film.
Although he doesn't like this kind of occasion very much, he has to go out of battle now~
Catherine. That's what Kennedy said to Royan, hoping that he would better bring a female companion with him. "You're the CEO of a cutting-edge film studio and a partner of Universal. Not your average starlet. β
When I first arrived in the City of Angels, where did I go to find a female companion?
... The day before the dinner - in Royan's apartment on Gaul Street.
Luo Yang sat on the sofa in the apartment, coding words on his notebook, while thinking...
He looked at Emma who was doing exercises on the yoga mat. Frost, she wore a gray tight-fitting tracksuit and lifted her legs high. She attaches great importance to her figure, insists on exercising, and even asks Luo Yang to go to the gym with her to apply for a card.
Hey, Catherine made it necessary for her to find a female companion... Is there only please Emma. Is Frost a temporary female companion?
"Emma, I want to ask you something."
Luo Yang turned off the noisy TV and turned to look at Emma, the White Queen.
"I'm still waiting for you to ask me," Emma laughed, "is there anything you can ask me for help?" β
Emma stood up and looked at Royan, "Tomorrow is Harvey. Weinstein's banquet, you can't bear to come to me until now? β
He looked at the white queen in surprise, and the expression on his face seemed to say: How do you know?
"The day before yesterday you and Catherine. I was at the next table when Kennedy had dinner, but you didn't notice me. β
She's bored enough to stalk herself...
"Then come with me to dinner tomorrow." He decisively invited Emma to come with him.
Emma learned the tone of Royan's voice and said, "Then come with me to the dinner tomorrow...", she looked at Royan with disgust, "It's like I owe you." β
"If you don't want to go, I can find someone else." Luo Yang knew that Emma was very idle, and from the tone she had just said, he could tell that she must be very curious about this banquet.
"I can go with you, but you have to go with me to pick out a beautiful dress first."
"Okay, good..."Luo Yang agreed, covering his forehead.
Pick out a garment and use it for at least the whole afternoon. But it's okay that Emma doesn't know where to make a lot of money, and Luo Yang doesn't have to worry about the money for an expensive dress.
"Also, if you go to the banquet, there are a lot of media reporters present. Aren't you worried that you'll be exposed? Emma. The Reengineering Society should be looking for you. β
"They won't come to me, I'm no longer useful." Emma said coldly, "And don't worry, if I change my look, they will never recognize me." "Mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
