Chapter 455: Why do you play with you?

Kasenberger is worthy of the title of workaholic. In less than two weeks after cooperating with Colombia, he negotiated a specific cooperation agreement with the other party. The two weeks seem not short, but for a long time In the three years involving hundreds of millions of dollars in cooperation, a specific cooperation agreement was reached in two weeks, which can only be described as fast.

While determining cooperation, Colombian ceo Peter Cooper could not wait to reveal the positive news of Colombia to the media.

......

"...I hope that the film can be filmed on the ground and in black and white documentary. In addition, the investment cannot be less than $30 million." In the global office, Spielberg is discussing with Michael Eisner about Schindler. The book of the Ark is an adaptation of the movie.

After a period of contact, Michael Eisner finally reached an understanding with Spielberg, at least Spielberg is no longer cold-eyed to him, although Michael Eisner is at the top of Hollywood power, but for the seventies For example, Spielberg, who has been able to bring huge profits to big movie companies, does not need to please anyone in Hollywood. Instead, he goes to the movie company ceo and Hollywood actors need to cooperate for cooperation. He, even if the "Captain Hawke" did not perform well in the previous period, did not cause much damage to Spielberg's position in Hollywood.

Michael Ace, "The face of a smile on the face, quietly listening to Spielberg's conditions, thinking quickly, in the thought of Spielberg, he wants to make "Sindel's Ark" in black and white documentary come out. I also hope to be able to speak German and Polish. These two add up. It almost equals the profitability of the film.

Moreover, although the investment of 30 million US dollars is not much, but for the global debt ratio of 45%, 30 million US dollars is not a small amount. Although Michael Eisner is also a Jew, he does not have such a strong sense of historical responsibility. He only hopes to do his own business, lead the rise of the world, and bring back his lost glory and status.

therefore. In order to cooperate with Spielberg, Michael Eisner knew that he had to agree, and there was no second choice.

"Steven, I can promise you all. In addition, Universal will try to contact you in Poland and seek local support," Michael Eisner said after a spoke of Spielberg. Then agreed. At the same time, I looked up and watched the watch: "It’s almost five o'clock now, how about dinner together?"

Spielberg is about to refuse. I heard that the door of Michael Eisner’s office was hurriedly ringing.

Michael Eisner squinted and was unhappy. He said sorry to Spielberg, and he let the other party come in.

"Mr. Eisner, I think you need to look at this," the assistant, although noticing the disappointment of Michael Eisner, knew that if he didn't notify the other party the first time, it was probably a question of whether the job could be saved. It is.

Michael Eisner took a night newspaper from the assistant and quickly squinted at the title above. He immediately opened his eyes in surprise: "How is this possible?"

Spielberg noticed the shocked look of Michael Eisner, who was always calm, and looked at it.

"Fireflies are holding hands with Sony Pictures and will jointly develop five films in the next three years."

The bold fonts come into view, and Spielberg wants to continue to look at the news, and Michael Eisner has read the news at a glance.

"Sorry, Steven, maybe you can't have dinner with you," Michael Eisner said after reading the news and stood up.

Spielberg also stood up with interest and left the Global Headquarters building under the **** of Michael Eisner.

I personally sent Spielberg to the car, and Michael Eisner immediately shook the assistant in the newspaper in his hand: "Is there any other news besides this?"

The assistant shook his head: "No, but the news is absolutely accurate. It is said that Colombian ceo Peter Cooper personally revealed to reporters that he will never lie on such things."

Michael Eisner took the mobile phone from the assistant, and did not need to look through the address book, and skillfully dialed Peter Cooper's personal mobile phone number. Unfortunately, the phone directly prompted the line, and the dialing was repeated for more than ten minutes. Michael Eisner also found a strong Peters call, still after the call, it seems that the opposite two are now busy dealing with a variety of inquiries.

"Commanded, let people collect all the news about this matter as soon as possible, the more detailed the better," Michael Eisner once again hang up and said to the assistant.

"I have already let people do it," the assistant said with a little compliment.

But the ups and downs of Michael Eisner did not react much. He turned and hurried toward the office. He had to discuss this with the global executives as soon as possible.

In the eyes of many people, just after the acquisition of Disney, fireflies should not cooperate with other film companies in production. After all, the development and integration of Disney is the focus of the next stage of fireflies.

Moreover, Michael Eisner is also very clear, even if the fireflies want to cooperate with other film companies, Sony-Colombia should be the last choice in all aspects. After all, the two helms of Colombia have already engaged the company. It’s quite stupid to work with each other in this situation, so it’s obviously not as simple as it seems.

However, just in the evening newspaper, there are only a few public relations languages ​​that have basically no value. Except for Sony Pictures, which will cooperate with Firefly in the next three years, there is no useful news.

......

In the sharp corner manor, the fax machine on the round table was whistling, and Eric wore his legs on the space chair beside the glass curtain wall, gently shaking his body, taking new fax documents from time to time. Read on the thigh.

This is the initial cooperation agreement faxed over by Kasenberg. but. This agreement is basically equal to the final agreement. After all, Sony's board of directors is under the control of Peter Cooper and Strong Peters. The approval of the board through the board of directors will not be any hindrance. As for the Japanese, it is a passing and telling the other party to have such a piece. It happened.

From the documentation point of view, Kasenberg is not to be nicknamed the 'Golden Retriever' by some people in Hollywood, if the Japanese can understand a series of bends. I will definitely understand that I have been cut off a piece of meat.

In the contract, the two parties agreed to jointly develop five major production films within three years, each of which has an investment scale of between US$50 million and US$100 million.

However, the first clause that is not conducive to Colombia is that film production is dominated by Disney, and Colombia must also use its own resources to fully cooperate.

Although there is no such thing as a black budget because of a sound financial supervision system, it is a big mistake if outsiders really think so. For example, the effects of these five blockbusters will definitely be developed by the digital domain that belongs to Firefly. Then the operability of the quotation is very large. In the end, the firefly is only left-handed and right-handed, but the funds paid by Colombia will not return to their pockets, and the cost of film special effects will account for the total cost. It is not as terrible as the 80% of the previous life, but more than half of it is still no problem.

In addition, Colombia only enjoys 40% of the capital of five movies. Although the revenues of box office channels, video tapes and TV broadcasts will be divided according to Billy, the interests of the film, such as toy development, stage play, image authorization, etc., are completely Exclusively by Disney, although the two sides cooperate with live-action movies, the surrounding interests are not as large as animated films, but the benefits are definitely calculated in billions.

Moreover, the most important one, in terms of film copyright, Kasenberg has adopted the method of authorizing the copyright of the film by the comic company. Although the contract shares the copyright according to the investment ratio, if the film is released within five years, the two sides will not The agreement on the sequel, then the part of the film copyright belonging to Colombia will automatically return to Disney. This is basically the same as declaring Disney’s copyright in co-op films, and Colombia’s position is a little higher than those of external investors who don’t share copyright. It’s just that they have five years more copyright than external investors. See, according to the investment ratio, Disney has more than 20% more copyright than Colombia. If a movie is sold, unless Colombia is willing to give up most of the benefits in the sequel, as long as Disney has been dragging five When the time does not nod, the film copyright will return to his own hands. At that time, there is no need to pay attention to Colombia at all, and you can enjoy this piece of fat alone.

Reading Essex's "unequal contract", Eric did not produce much surprise. After all, after spending a few years in Hollywood, he already understood that the flexibility of cooperation in investing in movies is very big, as long as you are willing to both sides. Any strange contract can be signed without apparently violating federal law.

On the Colombian side, even if it is the Japanese, it is likely that it will not refuse the agreement. Compared with the previous two years, not only did not make a profit, but also caused a huge loss of several movies, and cooperation with the fireflies that have been creating a box office miracle, no doubt in terms of revenue. There are guarantees for this.

Moreover, in the past few years when the acquisition of Colombia, the Japanese want to get the most is not the benefit, but more hope to open the situation through several successful works, this 'unequal agreement' in the eyes of the Japanese, it is likely to be very 'normal 'After all, other people's own play is hot, if you never pay more, what else should you take with you?

However, what they don't know is that behind this relatively 'normal' contract, there is another unknown agreement that will greatly enhance the firefly's strength, and Colombia's well-established global distribution network, After this agreement is implemented, it will definitely become a smash.

Thinking of this, Eric picked up Motorola, which had been shut down to avoid harassment. After thinking about it, he got up and took another spare phone. After turning it on, he called Kasenberg’s phone. His luck was still Well counted, after a few busy, it will be connected smoothly.

"Jeffrey, I have already seen the contract... I am sorry, I just lost my hand. You know, many things have not settled. I don't want to hear those temptations. This is my spare mobile number. You can remember, "Eric casually quoted his mobile phone number and said: "I have no opinion on the terms of the contract, but have you got the information on the Colombian overseas distribution network?... Oh, this way, let people Give me a fax, I am going to look at it... Ok... No, you can go alone at night, I will not go to the fun, haha, then, goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Eric put the Motorola microtab aside and picked up the contract around him and watched it quietly.

After a few minutes, the fax machine rang again.

......

"You have to listen to the news, why do you want to pull me over, Emma is still at home," the red BMW came to the corner of the corner of the manor, and Julia looked at the screaming Elizabeth complaining.

The security guard recognized the two people in the car and quickly opened the door. Elizabeth stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car in. He said, "I am coming alone, and he must say me again."

"Don't he just say two people together?" After entering the manor, Julia took off her sunglasses and looked at the surrounding scenery. She said that she had forgotten how long she had not been here, 茱Lia’s inner feelings for Eric have always been very complicated, and I try to avoid seeing Eric.

"Of course he will, but you can definitely help me with it, right?" Elizabeth said with a smile on her face.

"Hey, knowing you is the biggest misfortune in my life."

Elizabeth parked the car and shook her head: "Wrong, I know Eric."

"You two are," Julia picked up her bag and followed Elizabeth to get off the bus and said.

When she came to the door of the villa, Julia looked at Elizabeth's skillfully pressing the lock of the door, and she had a faint sense of acidity. She still didn't know what his password was at home.

"His birthday, but it is the other way around," Elizabeth looked at Julia's face, smiled and took her, said.

"Take me anything," Julia said with a look of indifference, but she remembered it silently. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
