My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

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

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

"Let's assume that Kung Fu Panda can get 300 million yuan at the box office. The bet is my share of the screenwriter's share in this movie. How about it?"

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

"Then how do you want to bet specifically?"

"We can sign a bet agreement." Ye Zhiqiu said directly: "If the global box office of this movie is less than 300 million US dollars, my share will be reduced by 1% for every 50 million less."

"If the box office is higher than 300 million, my share will be increased by 1% for every 30 million higher. How about it?"

George did not speak. His face was uncertain and he fell into deep thought, his eyes flickering.

To be honest, it was difficult for DreamWorks Animation to refuse this proposal.

Although the box office performance is unknown until the movie is officially released, DreamWorks Animation has been in this industry for so many years and has some experience. The $300 million box office is also a comprehensive evaluation of "Kung Fu Panda".

Although Ye Zhiqiu's proposal seems to be somewhat unequal, it is unlikely that DreamWorks Animation will lose money.

If the box office is less than 300 million, let alone if the box office is high, DreamWorks Animation will give a higher share later, but that is a matter for the future. Before that, the box office revenue is actually in the pocket...

The key is that according to regulations, the share given to the copyright holder is the net profit, which has more room for accounting operation. If it is other new screenwriters, DreamWorks Animation may be able to operate in secret, but Ye Zhiqiu is in the same group with Fang Long. Fang Long has been in Hollywood for so many years and knows the ins and outs very well, so it is not easy to fool...

"Okay!" After a quick calculation and weighing in his mind, George agreed readily not long after.

After saying that, 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, was speechless and finally 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, happy cooperation! To be honest, I hope I lose this bet. The higher the box office of Kung Fu Panda, the better!"

"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 of each other smiled like old foxes.

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

"This is a low-cost animation. The box office of 300 million US dollars is the result of their optimistic estimate. It is not easy to achieve. It is not even ruled out that if there is only a little difference at the end, they will deliberately suppress the box office, so that your share ratio will be reduced by 1%, and the possibility of losing the bet is too great."

"I know, Brother Long." Ye Zhiqiu did not have the slightest regret on his face, "If not, they would not sign so readily."

"If the box office is high enough, there will be no such problem. This is also their interest. Between high box office and increasing my share ratio, they know how to choose."

"That being said." Fang Long smiled bitterly, Said: "It's a bit impulsive to sign this bet. I know you are very confident in your work, but it's not that simple."

"When I first entered Hollywood when I was young, I was also young and full of blood. I felt that I was invincible and that only I could do those actions. As a result, I encountered many setbacks and took many detours because of my temper at the beginning."

"This place, on the surface, is a free market, but in fact, these foreigners are arrogant and xenophobic behind the scenes. 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 those of us who come out to mix in other people's territory sometimes have to endure such things. Don't be too concerned about temporary gains and losses. The ones who stay in the end are the winners."

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

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

No matter how big a person is, he has to start from the younger brother.He started from scratch. When he first entered Hollywood, Fang Long received a lot of cold stares and indifference.

Now, he really wants to help Ye Zhiqiu, so he said these words with all his heart, but Ye Zhiqiu didn't think so.

"Thank you, Brother Long." Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "But today's matter is really not my impulse."

"30 years ago, Hollywood was the only one in the market. No market in the world could compare with them. We begged them to do things. But now the times have changed. The scale of our Chinese film market has caught up rapidly. These companies are also panicking. In fact, they also need our help, but they are too arrogant to lose face."

"In our Chinese words, it is fierce on the outside but weak on the inside. Such people are mean. The more polite you are to him, the more he will be arrogant. Just fight back with your strength. The idea of ​​making money by being harmonious doesn't work."

"Well said!" After Ye Zhiqiu said this, Fang Long's mentality was also relaxed. He was a free and easy character who was not afraid of anything. Fang Long patted his shoulder heavily and said, "You are still a kid who sees through it. Many people have been in this truth for half their lives. I don't understand it either."

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

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

"At most, I will go to each company with the script. I don't believe that I can't find someone to do it."

"That's not necessary." Fang Long laughed and said proudly: "Your brother Long has been in Hollywood for so long, he still has some connections. Don't worry, this film will definitely be successful."

"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 after we finish it and go to eat."

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