phone-reading

Jerry? Yes, I'm Daniel. There's something wrong with my phone. Andy? Andy is negotiating an event with the merchant, yes, fortunately I gave you DD's number. What's the matter with you? Uh-huh, uh-huh , you mean in San Pedro? Is it suitable there? Are you going to visit, me? I may not have time, can I let Ferguson accompany you? But, I really can’t communicate with Mexico again. Has the filming plan of Struggle been submitted? Well, well, thank you for your hard work. Jerry, I will let him contact you in Ferguson. If San Pedro is not suitable, there should be some suitable places in the San Francisco Bay Area. My impression is that Disney or other studios should have similar experience, so Paul can find out about it. Alright, I’ll wait for your news.”

Kusa was sitting opposite him, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by the phone.

It's unbelievable. The big water tank in Baja California, Mexico, where Titanic was filmed, and Pearl Harbor were actually taken over by Raging Seas. Peter Weir is really a cunning person, I Gotta call Crowe and complain about it. By the way, Pearl Harbor imitates Titanic. It's really useless, but it doesn't work, and Jerry can't hear it. Huh, Well, tell me, it's—oh, sorry, who's this time?

Hey, yes yes yes, the phone is broken. Davey, didn't you go to MGM? Did Hotel Rwanda catch fire? What? Edward wanted to cut some of my scenes? OK, I didn't Opinion, as long as the movie is good enough, I don't intend to rely on it to win an Oscar, so be it, as long as Denzel's is cut, that's an Oscar-winner's play. Uh-huh, yes, I said it, you and him Go ahead. Enjoy your work.

I'm sorry. Kusa, the phone is always on the phone. I suspect that when I turn my phone back on, it may explode. Now that you can talk, no one should interrupt us.

Kusa moved his slightly stiff buttocks, Huan and I—

Untimely, the phone rang again.

Daniel opened his mouth, then clapped his hands as if giving up. Leave it alone, tell me.

Don't be like this. Daniel, you can take it, it's okay, my main task today is to communicate with you about this matter.

After struggling for a while, Daniel said sorry and answered the phone that kept ringing.

Oh, Miss Landry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I was in the editing room and didn't hear the call. Do you have any advice? The contract for Fake God? Oh, I haven't seen it yet, Daniel said. Looking at Kusa hesitantly, Kusa shook the document in his hand, with a helpless expression on his face, I saw it. It's on my desk. I'm too busy today, so I haven't had time to look at it, but Kusa can do it On my behalf, his decision is my decision. Yes, what's the problem? The director said no? My God, if I remember correctly. Shooting starts next month right? What does Tom want? Because Jim Carrey is not acting,

So he didn't want to direct the film either? Well, Donna, if I were you, I would let him go as far as he can. There are many three-legged men in Hollywood, but there are also many two-legged male directors. Any suggestions? Donna are you serious? Hmm~~ Let me think about it, can I call you back later? Uh huh, you're welcome, I should, I'll watch it as soon as possible, bye, dear.

It's so interesting. The filming will start next month. Now the lead actor, that is, my contract has not been signed. Now tell me that the director has skipped the ticket. Tom, Tom Shadiak, have you heard of it? ? Oh, did you actually hear that?

That once directed Aeroplane and Liar, both of which are comedies.

If I'm not mistaken, these two are Jim Carrey's movies? So they are a pair of good friends? No wonder one left and the other followed. Jim Carrey's preferences are really special, Didn't he get together with Renee Zweig? Could it be a threesome? Are comedies so open?

Cusa looked at Daniel, whose eyes were blazing, and wisely kept quiet about his harsh words.

Taking two deep breaths, I'm sorry, Kusa, I'm a little—

I see.

Okay, so tell me about the contract for Fake God, Donna—err...I really, really want to blow it up.

Yes, the phone is ringing again.

Hello, this is Daniel Sandler, Raymond? My dear, what's the matter with you? Something is wrong with Microsoft stock? Uh huh, Raymond, you are my investment manager, and I authorize you to At this time, if you ask me if Microsoft’s stock is really going to fall, I really can’t answer you. I have no affair with Bill Gates’ daughter, She's too young, you know? Jennifer's only 6, you know? Oh, this is just a side question, well, so what's your main question? Javier says MB is in danger of being underfunded? How big is the gap you estimate? By the middle of next year, it will be 40 million, okay, financing? Why? No need! I will give him the money next year, and you ask him to remember to remind Evan to prepare the funds, and send the report to I, I need to see where he spends his money. So, is this something you really want to know? Or is it just a sideshow? OK, ok, bye, good luck, don't take my money Lose money.

They're all good-looking, hard-working little cuties.

Kousa, it's your turn to manage my time now, tell me quickly, otherwise I won't guarantee that Bush will call me later.

Kusa glanced at him worriedly, Danny, your condition is not very good, do you need to—

Rest? Maybe, if the earth is missing, everyone will turn around, but I don't know about my career if I don't have it....Look, how many times is this? Almost every day.

I know the number this time, Fred. Fred? Is the Bourne after-screening report coming out? Okay, thanks, you can ask Andy to bring it to me tomorrow. I'll take a good look, thanks You, bye.

He let out a long breath from his chest and lungs, as if he wanted to expel all the anger, depression, and anxiety. Adding up, he does have fifty years of soul age, but these things are also the first time for him. Although it is not that difficult to deal with, it is still too difficult a challenge.

Cousa, let's go home and talk, I'm in the car looking at the contract, you call them, Andy, Melissa, Trevor, and Ferguson, if he hasn't been called by Jerry, Fred Never mind.

Kusa didn't ask any more questions. Daniel, who had apparently regained his composure from the irritability, decided to pull up his team to help him share the pressure.

In the car, he took a brief look at the Fake God contract given by Universal, and found that this contract was simply difficult to produce. The huge package contract of The Bourne Shadow has landed, and Donna is still entangled with Kusa. The two have almost confronted each other more than ten times before deciding on the version in front of them.

The main condition is of course the remuneration, the basic remuneration is 12 million, but there are also ten points of global box office share.

Does Donna have no confidence in Universal getting 100 million?

If Universal can get 100 million in the box office, Daniel can take 10 million, plus the basic salary, it will be 22 million, which is slightly lower than Daniel's asking price of 18 million + 5 points, or 23 million. If Universal's income is lower, the current plan will of course be more beneficial to Universal.

It's not easy to divide 100 million box office from a movie. So far, in your movies, except for The Fellowship of the Ring, only The Bourne Shadow temporarily has this potential, Legally Blonde , MGM got almost this amount, and this is already their most profitable movie in recent years. Donna is a shrewd woman.

Daniel nodded, basically, the film studio can get about 55% to 60% of the North American box office, and the global box office is as low as 35% to 45%, so basically if you want to share 100 million, you basically need to be The top ten films of the year at the North American box office. It can be calculated that Donna has indeed done a business that does not lose money.

Party B is not allowed to accept a comedy movie within one year or before the agreed movie is released? Kusa, do I have a comedy plan?

Not currently, and this restriction is only until next summer, and you don't have much time to take on new movies before that, unless you plan to be busy.

I'm pretty busy.

Putting the contract aside, Daniel rubbed his temples, feeling that these two places that were supposed to be sunken are now protruding. After closing his eyes and thinking about the appearance of two pieces of flesh growing on his temple, Daniel couldn't help but tremble all over.

When Kusa and Daniel arrived at Daniel's house, Andy and Melissa had already arrived.

Is my phone still working?

Okay, just take it apart and wipe it, blow it with a hair dryer, and then it can be turned on.

While taking a shower this morning, Daniel answered a call, but dropped his phone in the water and immediately stopped turning it on. So he had to ask Andy to help him repair his cell phone—someone had to keep an eye on these cell phone repairers at this time, and the contents of the cell phone would inevitably be lost. Whether it is China or Hollywood, such lessons do not happen at the same time.

Okay, can you pour me some water? Honey, I have a headache.

Melissa got up and poured him a glass of boiled water, You've been really busy recently, with too many things to do.

Yes, I also realized today that although I want to make a Marvel movie, I am not one of those magical superpowers in the Marvel universe. I have to reduce my work appropriately. (To be continued.
