"2 million! For as long as $2 million, I can give you the North American distribution rights. ”

"But...... Not with Miramax! ”

As soon as these words came out, Harvey's fat figure immediately paused.

Then, after a few seconds of silence, Harvey sat back in front of Zhang Mu.

This time, though, Harvey wasn't as casual as he used to be.

I saw him looking at Zhang Mudao with a gloomy face:

"Zhang, are you kidding me? Don't you know I'm the CEO of Miramax!"

However, Zhang Mu was not frightened by his face at all, but took a sip of coffee casually, and then smiled lightly:

"It is now, but not necessarily in the future!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu paused slightly, and then looked meaningfully into Harvey's eyes and said:

"If that's not the case, why would you rather buy out 9/11 Fahrenheit out of your own pocket against Disney's wishes?"

You must know that under the pressure of the current president Cowboy, Disney and Sony have decided to stop the release plan of the film, but Harvey has pushed it forward.

Sure enough, when Zhang Mu mentioned this, Harvey finally stopped hiding it, but laughed insolently.

Seeing this, Zhang Mu immediately smiled.

It is said that the Miramax company founded by Harvey and his younger brother, although it has long been acquired by Disney, Harvey has also taken advantage of Disney's resources to go to the next level. But in fact, there has always been a contradiction between the two.

Especially the relationship with Disney President Michael Eisner can be said to be very good.

It's just that because Miramax's shares are in the hands of Disney, Harvey has been holding back.

But in fact, Harvey has been trying to find a way to leave Disney since he became a fledgling.

This time, he insisted on resisting Disney's order to promote the project of "Fahrenheit 911", which was the most critical move for Harvey.

Although it was a bit risky, Harvey also brushed up points with the Democrats, and opened up contacts at the top that he had not been able to reach before.

And because of this, in Hollywood, the traditional sphere of influence of the Democratic Party, it has received the support of many potential old white men.

And these are also a big reason why Harvey was able to make waves in Hollywood later.

Therefore, after discovering that Zhang Mu saw through this, Harvey did not pretend to be coy, but glanced at Zhang Mu seriously, and said:

"Zhang, it seems that you didn't just come today to talk about authorization, right?"

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mu immediately smiled slightly, and then only bowed slightly, and Jiang Ming, the publishing director behind him, put a document in front of Harvey.

Seeing this, Harvey couldn't help but glance at Zhang Mu suspiciously, and then immediately opened it and flipped through it.

"Superbody?"

After reading the beginning, Harvey suddenly became interested, regardless of Zhang Mu's presence, and watched it silently.

Looking at Harvey's excited appearance, Zhang Mu knew that this time the matter was half done.

Thinking of this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

In fact, Zhang Weiping's previous evaluation of "The Tuner" was not wrong.

"The Tuner" can have so much box office, not because of the success of the movie, but because of the success of publicity.

Zhang Mu didn't expect to have so many box offices, but later, with the development of the situation, he accidentally used all kinds of publicity and distribution methods in later generations.

It can be said that Zhang Mu used blockbuster-level publicity to create a pseudo-blockbuster. Coupled with the fact that the quality of the movie itself is high enough and the reputation is stable, this is the later box office.

However, this matter cannot be replicated, and even Zhang Mu is not sure that he can do it again.

Therefore, regarding the choice of the next movie, Zhang Mu needs to be cautious.

During this period of time, he recalled the memories of later generations and found that since "Hero" opened the road to the revival of the domestic film industry, until 08, the domestic box office of hundreds of millions of movies have one thing in common: that is, blockbusters!

Big lineup, big investment, big publicity, big scene.

As long as you can have the above factors, even if the quality of the movie itself is average, it can have a good box office in the end.

For example, Chen Shiren's "Wuji" is the best example.

The root cause is mainly because after entering the new century, the audience's film and television aesthetics are immature, resulting in most audiences blindly chasing blockbusters and only willing to pay for blockbusters.

And the audience's viewing taste determines the upper limit of the movie box office.

As a result, domestic blockbusters emerged in an endless stream during this time period.

What is the general trend, this is the general trend!

Otherwise, if it is only based on the quality of the movie itself, the box office of "Crazy Stone" should be several times that of "Wuji" and "Night Banquet".

Of course, later, with the rapid maturity of the audience's aesthetics, this kind of blockbuster was soon not bought.

But before that - that's the tuyere!

Therefore, after Zhang Mu reviewed it, he chose this "Super Body".

There is no way, blockbusters are nothing more than science fiction, disasters, wars, and action, and Zhang Mu does not have many choices.

On the other hand, Harvey finally finished reading the script. After discovering that the document already had the mark of the union, he could only regret extinguishing some thoughts.

So I saw him close the script and muttered for a while, then suddenly looked at Zhang Mu with playful eyes, and said coldly:

"Zhang, are you so sure that I will cooperate with you?"

After reading the script, Harvey was sure that Zhang Mu must have had a detailed plan, otherwise he would not have bothered to attract him.

At this point, Zhang Mu didn't plan to hide it anymore, when he was right:

"After leaving Disney, your new company should need a good start, and I don't think there's anything better than this movie!"

Without waiting for Harvey to speak, Zhang Mu gently tapped the table with his index finger and said:

"This film will be produced by you, me, and Europa Pictures. In this way, the capital and risk you need to bear will be greatly reduced. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu paused, then shrugged his shoulders and said:

"So, I can't think of any reason you have to refuse!"

As soon as these words came out, Harvey's eyes suddenly flickered. I have to say that Zhang Mu's methods did surprise him a little.

However, as Zhang Mu said just now, such a good opportunity, Harvey can't think of any reason to refuse.

So he immediately laughed out loud with a change in expression, and then shook his head with emotion:

"Zhang, to be honest, you should come to Hollywood, that's your stage."

However, Zhang Mu just smiled lightly when he heard this, and then stretched out his hand and said:

"Happy working together?"

Seeing this, Harvey stopped talking nonsense, and immediately stretched out his hand to correct the color:

"Happy working together!"

Because this project also involves Europa Pictures, after reaching a preliminary consensus, the two did not continue to talk, but made an appointment to sit down and talk together.

When the negotiations were settled, Harvey quickly left in a hurry with his assistant.

Looking at the back of Harvey leaving, after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ming, the publishing director behind Zhang Mu, couldn't help frowning slightly and asked:

"Mr. Zhang, why are we looking for Harvey? Wouldn't it be good to go and talk to Disney directly? ”

In Jiang Ming's view, whether from the perspective of capital or strength, Disney is not comparable to Harvey.

However, when Zhang Mu heard this, he only rubbed the corners of his eyes a little tiredly and said:

"The best is not necessarily the best! If we change to Disney, where will we have a bargain! ”

As soon as Zhang Mu said this, Jiang Ming suddenly became stunned.

With the strength of the six Hollywood majors, it is indeed not something that today's Makino can control.
