Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

: Giving meat to Disney

Claire put the matter of “Dallas Sellers Club” aside because it wasn’t time for the Oscar nominations to be released yet. There is no point in trying so early. As for other trivial matters, Roxy and others in the company will naturally handle them.

After so long, Claire is now no longer a one-person workshop, but a small team that is beginning to take shape!

Claire is going to find Disney to talk about the development plan for her new movie – “Cat and Mouse”! Let’s see how sincere Disney is~

…

“President Iger! Good afternoon!” Claire greeted Robert Iger warmly as soon as she saw Robert Iger come out to greet her.

“Good afternoon, Claire!” Iger said with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for a while, and you gave everyone a surprise! Congratulations, your acting in “Dallas Buyers Club” was great, beyond my expectations! ”

Haha~ Then Iger, you must vote for me when the time comes!” Claire blinked, with a look that said you understand.

“Ah?” Iger was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood Claire’s hint, “Hahahahahaha~~Okay, okay, that’s for sure! I will definitely vote for you!” As the new boss of Disney, he is an absolute heavyweight in Hollywood

. Boss, member of the Oscar Presidential Jury. Although Robert Iger does not have the ability to decide individual awards alone, he still has the right to decide which movie he does not want to win.

“Claire, I’m very happy! It’s an honor for us that you would choose our Disney as a partner!” Iger put his arm around Claire’s shoulders and said with a smile: “I thought our chances were very small. After all, there is Ferguson’s daughter standing by. Behind you…”

“Our choice of Disney is the unanimous opinion of everyone. Roxy will not affect my decision because of her own personal concerns!” Claire explained with a smile, “Iger, the new movie I sent you last time Have you read the script? How do you feel about it!”

“Oh, you’re talking about the movie script of “Cat and Mouse”!” Egger suddenly became energetic, “I read it, carefully read it twice. This is a very A very exciting story! Cat and mouse, detective and liar, the plot is very tense! I like it very much!” “Thank you, I

also like this story very much!”

“Claire, are you planning to direct and act in this movie script? ?” Egger asked with concern, frowning.

“Hahaha~ Egg, as soon as I saw your frown, I knew you weren’t worried about me directing this movie myself!” Claire laughed.

“Claire, we are all old friends! I will tell you some things directly!” Robert Egger cleared his throat and said, “As an investor, I am really worried about your directorial level. Your only director The work “This Man Came From Earth” is quite special. There is no way to directly demonstrate your directing skills. This is where everyone is unsure!”

Egger’s explanation was very sincere and true, and Claire was certainly not angry. He had no intention of directing this movie himself. He still knew exactly how much he weighed…

As Egger said, “This Man from Earth,” the only film Claire directed, was very special. , the movie lasts just over 80 minutes, the scenes involving scheduling are extremely monotonous, and the characters are very rare. From the director’s point of view, it is a real ‘student homework’ level of difficulty that cannot be simpler.

Compared with “This Man Came From Earth”, the difficulty of shooting the movie “Cat Game” is completely different, one in the sky and one on the ground.

…

“Hahaha~ Egg, don’t worry! I know very well what my director level is! For such a difficult task, I don’t dare to take the lead without authorization, it will crush me to death! Of course, the candidate for the director must be invited An experienced director will direct it!” Claire reassured Robert Iger that she would not act recklessly or persist recklessly.

“Hahaha~ Claire, your sobriety and self-effacement always make us admire you! Don’t worry, we at Disney will also seriously look for a suitable director and will never neglect it!” “Of course I am very relieved about this!

”

.. After

several rounds of negotiation meetings, Claire’s Daydream Pictures and Disney Pictures reached a preliminary investment allocation, with the film’s estimated total investment being US$40 million.

Originally, Claire hoped that her Daydream Pictures could have a 7:3 investment ratio with Disney Pictures, and she would take the majority. To be honest, I can fully afford the investment cost of more than 40 million yuan. This is not to benefit Disney. Giving them 30% of the investment share (that is, 30% of the profit share) is very kind.

I can’t say too braggingly that as long as the director is reliable, this movie will definitely not lose money! Having the opportunity to invest is a good opportunity to make money while you’re at it!

However, Disney did not agree with the investment ratio of 7:3, thinking that 30% was too little for them, and demanded 5:5, half and half for everyone. This is something Claire will never accept. If I am so weak, then in the sequel of “Twilight”, I will be completely led by Disney!

Claire flatly rejected Disney’s unreasonable request and insisted on her 7:3 plan.

…

“Claire, this film needs to reserve a certain share for the director and big-name actors. Otherwise, we won’t be able to attract them to join the film based on the salary we offer!” “Yes,

according to the current trend in Hollywood, Directors need to hold a certain share to increase profits and voice. We need to consider these aspects!” ”

Claire, give in again!”

…

The reasons given by the Disney negotiation team opposite made Claire look at him hesitantly. Roxy beside him asked her with her eyes whether what she just said was true, or was she bullying him for being young and not understanding the rules of the circle?

Roxy looked back at Claire and nodded slightly.

“Huh~~” Claire turned her head and looked back at Disney: “In this case, then I will give up 10% of the investment amount, let’s 6:4! Can you accept it? If there is no other way, it will be very difficult It’s a pity…”

…

Finally, everyone ended the preliminary investment negotiations for the “Cat and Mouse Game” movie with a capital investment ratio of 6:4. Of course, the work has not stopped yet. There are still many important positions that have not yet been decided, and many complicated tasks need to be dealt with.

The two most important candidates are the director and the second male lead in the movie – FBI agent Carl.
