Chapter 1655 Negotiating Conditions
The reason why the entertainment industry is so attractive is actually because of resource issues.
If you are a billionaire, you are just a billionaire, and celebrities will not be too surprised or even flatter you.
But if you are just a director with assets of less than 10 million, then countless pretty girls will revolve around you.
This is resource attraction.
To put it bluntly, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, to a certain extent, are the legal sale of silver!
Whether everyone is willing or not, all kinds of unspoken rules will eventually be played out.
This kind of transaction must be based on another thing - resources!
If you have resources in your hands, you will have countless opportunities to use unspoken rules!
The influence of resources represents your influence in the circle.
Well, Forrest Gump's influence in Eagle Country, especially among young people, is very difficult to estimate.
As long as you grab the copyright of this movie, it is equivalent to grabbing countless resource opportunities.
Not to mention the girlfriend in "Forrest Gump", all the women in this movie, even the male supporting characters, will become potential opportunities for unspoken rules!
Of course, this is just something that comes with the resources. Grasping the copyright will expand one's personal influence and increase future cooperation and resource allocation, which is similar to killing monsters and leveling up.
So, when Xu Xuan took out the book "Forrest Gump", both Taylor Lee and Lewis were very surprised.
If it is an exchange of copyright for this book, the forces behind them really need to think carefully about it.
"I will still be in charge of making the movie. I can provide 60% of the investment share, but the premise is that you sell me your shares in Michael Entertainment and promise not to make any calculations against Michael Entertainment within three years."
After hearing Xu Xuan's conditions, Lewis and the other man looked at each other, then stood up and said, "Xu, later."
Xu Xuan made a gesture of invitation, indicating that they could make the call now.
In fact, these additional conditions of Xu Xuan did not have much effect at all.
But as long as it is brought up, at least Wall Street will not make any move against Michael Entertainment in the short term. As long as Xu Xuan is given another two years, he will definitely not be as passive as he is now.
So we still have to buy time.
As for Forrest Gump's investment share, it's actually nothing.
What Xu Xuan lost was nothing more than influence and profits from global box office.
But Xu Xuan does not need influence in Eagle Country, nor does he need influence in the world. These things are good to have, but not necessary. They are not necessities!
Komigo was swallowed up, which was unpleasant.
This is the real golden goose, with profits of nearly 30 billion US dollars last year!
Moreover, since Xu Xuan will be staying in Eagle Country for a long time, Michael Entertainment can actually be used for a while.
Since WL Films was abandoned by Wei Xizhen, it can only be registered under Michael Entertainment, otherwise it will be too difficult to manage.
Thinking of WL Film and Television, Xu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. At first he thought that with the protection of the state-owned enterprise China Film and Television, everything should be fine.
But now?
People have abandoned you.
Therefore, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else, and no outsider can be fully trusted.
Xu Xuan was sighing here, making a phone call there, and quickly returned to the meeting room.
Lewis said, "We want at least 80% of A-Gump's investment share. You can be the director, but the assistant director, art director, producer, etc. must all be our people. This is a hard condition, Xu."
Xu Xuan frowned and looked at Lewis and said, “You actually understand that I don’t really believe in Wall Street’s promises. If Michael doesn’t move for three years, I can only expect two years, so your conditions are a bit too much.”
Lewis and Taylor Lee looked at each other, and the latter said, “We’ll give you the right to decide who will be the heroine.”
“I want editing rights.”
"That's impossible. You know, the editing rights in Hollywood are all with the head office."
This is true. Except for those big-name directors, even Nicholas did not have the editing rights a few years ago.
These are all recognized facts, so it is almost impossible for Xu Xuan, a Chinese director, to get editing rights.
Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment: "I should at least have the right to make suggestions. You should understand that I am the author of this book and I know better how to present the overall story and core."
Lewis and Taylor Lee had no way to refute this, so they whispered a few words and nodded in agreement.
In fact, the right to make suggestions is completely at the side during the editing process, and the editing authority is actually still on the side of Hollywood.
Xu Xuan did this just for psychological comfort, but at the same time he also had some authority to change the plot.
After the matter was settled, the matter of Michael Entertainment came to an end.
The people behind Lewis and Taylor Lee promised Xu Xuan that all the shares of Michael Entertainment would be sold to him, but at the same time, the valuation would be 200 billion US dollars!
In other words, if Xu Xuan wants to take back all the shares, he will need at least 140 billion US dollars!
Where did Xu Xuan get so much money?
Therefore, Lewis and Taylor Lee were allowed to act as guarantors, with three of the Big Five Hollywood companies as collateral, to borrow $120 billion from Eagle Bank, plus the cash payment in Xu Xuan's hands.
The loan period is three years, and as for the interest, Xu Xuan can only bear it. The interest for three years may exceed 20 billion US dollars!
But it doesn’t matter, because Xu Xuan’s original plan was to sell Michael Entertainment in three years.
Don’t even mention three years later. One year from now, Michael Entertainment will definitely not be as simple as its current valuation.
The 2 billion interest is almost negligible!
After the matter was settled, Xu Xuan resigned.
Vivian took Xu Xuan to meet another person.
The first thing Xu Xuan had to do when he came to Eagle Country this time was to do public relations for Oscar, and the rest could be put on hold later.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he wins the Oscar or not. It’s just that since he has reached Xu Xuan’s status, he will feel like something is missing if he doesn’t win a Casca.
It also saves those people in China from often using this matter to ridicule Xu Xuan.
"Boss, this guy named Harvey might not be very popular." Vivian explained while driving.
"How annoying can it be?" Xu Xuan asked with a smile.
In fact, Vivian recommended this person, and his name is the same as a disgusting guy in the original time and space.
That's why Xu Xuan agreed to meet him. If that doesn't work, he can introduce him through Yu Wanqing or the Child family.
There are a lot of people doing public relations at the Oscars, the only difference is their ability.
Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows. Considering Vivian's personality, she could say such words. This person named Harvey must be very annoying.
After the meeting, Xu Xuan regretted asking Vivian for the recommendation.
I really feel a little pissed off.
Huo Changqing couldn't help himself and was about to hit someone.
