My singer girlfriend is super fierce

"Take a gamble?" George was stunned by this. "What do you mean?"

Ye Zhiqiu laughed and explained, "I am very confident about the movie Kung Fu Panda."

"Let's assume that Kung Fu Panda can earn 3 million yuan at the box office, and the bet is my share of the screenwriter's share of the film, how about that?"

Hearing this, George was obviously interested. He sat up straight and said, "Ye, it seems that you are really confident."

"So how exactly do you want to bet?"

"We can sign a bet agreement." Ye Zhiqiu said directly: "If the global box office of this film is less than 3 million US dollars, my share will be reduced by 5000% for every 1 million less."

"If the box office exceeds 3 million, my share will increase by 3000% for every 1 million increase. How do you think?"

George didn't say anything. He was lost in thought with a gloomy expression and his eyes flickering.

To be honest, this was a hard offer for DreamWorks Animation to refuse.

Although we don't know how the box office will perform until the movie is officially released, DreamWorks Animation has been in this industry for so many years and has some experience. The box office of $3 million is also their more comprehensive assessment of "Kung Fu Panda".

Although Ye Zhiqiu's proposal seems to be somewhat unequal between the two parties, for "Animation DreamWorks", the possibility of loss is not high no matter how you look at it.

I won’t talk about the box office being less than 3 million. If the box office is high, although the share ratio given by “Animation DreamWorks” will be higher later, that’s all in the future. Before that, the box office revenue is actually in the pocket...

The key point is that according to the regulations, the share given to the copyright holder is the net profit, which has more room for accounting manipulation. If it were any other new screenwriter, perhaps DreamWorks Animation could still do some behind-the-scenes manipulation, but Ye Zhiqiu is in the same group as Fang Long, who has been in Hollywood for so many years and knows the ins and outs very well, so it is not easy to fool him...

"Okay!" After quickly calculating and weighing the options in his mind, George readily agreed not long after.

After saying this, as if he was afraid that Ye Zhiqiu would go back on his word, he immediately asked the staff to draft a supplementary agreement on the spot. Fang Long, who was standing by, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and in the end he just sighed silently.

The agreement was signed quickly. After both parties signed, George took the initiative to extend his hand to Ye Zhiqiu with a smile on his face.

"Ye, it's a pleasure working with you! To be honest, I hope I lose this bet, and the box office of Kung Fu Panda will be as high as possible, haha!"

"Of course." Ye Zhiqiu also smiled and said, "This is a win-win bet."

At this moment, the two people who felt that they had taken advantage were smiling like old foxes.

Walking out of the DreamWorks Animation headquarters building, Fang Long, who had been silent since signing the bet agreement, sighed and said, "Alas, Zhiqiu, I shouldn't have signed this supplementary agreement with them just now."

"This is a low-budget animation. The box office of 3 million US dollars is the result of their optimistic estimate. It is not easy to achieve. It is even possible that if there is only a little difference at the end, they will deliberately suppress the box office, so that your share will be reduced by 1%. The possibility of losing the gamble is too high."

"I know, Brother Long." Ye Zhiqiu didn't show any regret on his face. "If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have signed so readily."

"If the box office is high enough, this problem won't exist. This is also in their interest. Between high box office and increasing the share of my profit, they know how to choose."

"That being said." Fang Long smiled bitterly and said, "It was a bit impulsive to sign this bet. I know you are very confident in your work, but this matter is not that simple."

"When I first entered Hollywood, I was full of youthful vigor and enthusiasm. I felt that I was invincible and that I was the only one who could perform those moves. However, I encountered many setbacks at the beginning because of my temper and took many detours."

"This place is called a free market on the surface, but in fact, these foreigners are arrogant and xenophobic. If you don't belong to their cultural background, they will suppress you everywhere and make it difficult for you to move forward."

"I can only say that for those of us who come out to work in other people's territory, sometimes we have to endure things like this and not worry too much about temporary gains and losses. In the end, the one who stays is the winner."

Fang Long's words were all from his own personal experience, and he spoke to Ye Zhiqiu from the bottom of his heart.

Outsiders only see the glamorous side of this Hollywood superstar, and they all know that this is achieved through real strength. However, the real world is not a boxing ring. There are many people who can fight and work hard, but only Fang Long, an Asian actor, can reach this position. What he has paid behind the scenes is far more than just the word "working hard".

No matter how big a person is, he also started out as a humble servant. When he first entered Hollywood, Van Long encountered a lot of contempt and neglect.

Now, he really wanted to promote Ye Zhiqiu, so he said these words earnestly, but Ye Zhiqiu did not think so.

"Thank you, Brother Long." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "But today's incident was not caused by my impulse."

"30 years ago, Hollywood was the only dominant market in the world. No other market in the world could compete with it. We had to beg them to do things for us. But now times have changed. The scale of our Chinese film market has rapidly caught up. These companies are also panicking. In fact, they also need our help, but they are too arrogant to bring themselves to do it."

"As we Chinese say, he is outwardly powerful but inwardly weak. This kind of person is just a jerk. The more polite you are to him, the more he will get in the way. Just fight back with your strength. The idea of ​​harmony bringing wealth will not work."

"Well said!" Fang Long relaxed after hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said. He was a fearless and carefree person. Fang Long patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a very insightful person. Many people have been in this world for half their lives and still don't understand this."

"In Hollywood, strength is king! As long as you have talent and ability, no matter how much others suppress you, you will definitely be able to succeed!"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if this thing doesn't work out today. At most, we won't cooperate. There is more than just one production company in Hollywood."

"At most, I can go to each house with the script. I don't think I can find anyone to do it."

"That's not necessary." Fang Long laughed and said proudly, "Brother Long has been in Hollywood for so long, he must have some connections. Don't worry, this movie will definitely be made."

"Let's go, let's go." Fang Long changed the subject, put his arm around Ye Zhiqiu's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Let's put this aside for now and go eat."

"Let's talk about 'The Foreigner'. We have contacted the filming location in the UK and we can start filming next week..."
