Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon Chapter 452

"Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon (

Beverly Hills, James Cameron came here instead of Malibu.

Because before meeting Hansen Jonas, James Cameron was told by Li Zhiwen to find himself in Beverly Hills if there was a situation.

And James Cameron came to Beverly Hills and was surprised by the luxury of Beverly Hills.

And Li Zhiwen's villa here is larger, more prosperous, and more luxurious than Malibu's.

"James, please sit down. Is the good news brought to my mother?" Li Zhiwen told James Cameron to sit down, and then ordered the servant to make coffee.

"Mr. Lee, there is good news, and of course there is also bad news." James Cameron said.

"James, I like bitterness first and sweetness later, so you should tell the bad news first." Li Zhiwen said calmly.

"Mr. Lee, 20th Century Fox agreed to promise our movie, but 20th Century Fox wants us to sell "Terminator" to them." James Cameron said.

"Oh?" Li Zhiwen said without anger or joy.

In fact, this plan is acceptable to James Cameron. After all, James Cameron only wants "Terminator" to be released to prove his strength.

And the actions of Fox in the 20th century show that they are very optimistic about "Terminator", so they adopted the acquisition model instead of the division model.

But James Cameron knew that Li Zhiwen could not agree.

"James, how much does Fox pay in the 20th century?" Li Zhiwen did not directly refuse, but asked the price.

"Fifteen million dollars!" James Cameron said.

"It's not low!" Li Zhiwen said and took a sip of the coffee in his hand.

"James, how much do you think the global box office of "Terminator" can reach?" Li Zhiwen then asked.

Li Zhiwen asked James Cameron in a daze, and then he spoke a long time later: "More than 50 million US dollars!"

Li Zhiwen nodded, obviously agreeing with James Cameron's prediction.

Without Li Zhiwen's intervention, the box office of "Terminator" should reach 50 million US dollars.

After all, the global box office of the previous life "Terminator" reached 70 million US dollars.

But Li Zhiwen is in operation in this life. After all, in the previous life, "Terminator" didn't have any box office in Asia.

In this life, Li Zhiwen believes that with Universal's original influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia, "Terminator" will have no problem with a box office of 30 million U.S. dollars in Asia.

And this life of "Terminator" is more sophisticated than previous lives, so Li Zhiwen believes that the global box office of "Terminator" can reach hundreds of millions of dollars in this life, and it is a history-breaking existence.

And how could Li Zhiwen sell such a record-breaking film to Twentieth Century Fox at a price of 15 million U.S. dollars? Is Li Zhiwen's head funny?

Therefore, Li Zhiwen would not accept the 20th Century Fox's proposal.

Of course James Cameron also understands that Li Zhiwen will not agree. Of course, James Cameron will not understand the specific reasons.

"James, what's the good news?" Li Zhiwen asked.

"The good news is that 20th Century Fox is preparing to release "Terminator" on Christmas files. This means that they are very optimistic about "Terminator." Therefore, even if we do not agree to the terms of 20th Century Fox, we will use this information to contact Hollywood players. Other movie giants will have very good results." James Cameron said.

"James, you are right, but I want to talk to Twentieth Century Fox first, and then talk about other things. You can help me make an appointment with the person in charge of Twentieth Century Fox." Li Zhiwen said.

"Yes, Mr. Lee, it happened that Mr. Lewis Royce of Twentieth Century Fox also had this meaning!" James said.

"That's right, is Lewis Royce at the 20th Century Fox Headquarters? If it is, we can go directly." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen wanted to negotiate the release of "Terminator" in a very short time. After all, Li Zhiwen's time is very tight and there is no need to spend too much time.

"It should still be there. Let me call my friend Hansen Yonas to ask." James Cameron said.

"Please!" Li Zhiwen got up and got off the sofa after speaking, went outdoors to see Liu Xiaoli who was basking in the sun.

When Liu Xiaoli saw Li Zhiwen coming over, she said happily: "Brother Wen, Cici kicked me again."

"Well, let me listen!" Li Zhiwen walked to Liu Xiaoli's side and leaned over Liu Xiaoli's belly to listen to the voice.

"Cici is so lively, I have to let her learn to dance and practice martial arts in the future to kill her vitality! Li Zhiwen said with a smile."

"Brother Wen, you really want Cici to be a star!" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Is there anything wrong with this? Besides, I see what Cici means, I respect her!" Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

Li Zhiwen is unwilling to disappear from the fairy sister in this life, so I really want Li Yifei to become an actor.

Of course, Li Zhiwen believes that the fairy sister in this life must be more stunning and more beautiful, after all, there is Li Zhiwen's gene.

"But..." Before Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, James Cameron's voice came.

"Mr. Lee, Mr. Lewis Royce is waiting for our visit at the Twentieth Century Fox headquarters!"

"Ali, you're waiting at home, I'll talk about business and come back soon." Li Zhiwen said.

"Okay, Brother Wen, I'll wait for you at home!" Liu Xiaoli replied with a grin.

At this time, Li Zhiwen didn't notice Liu Xiaoli's expression and left in a hurry.

"Hey, does Wen Ge arrange Cici this way, does it mean that Cici doesn't want to intervene in the business?" Liu Xiaoli muttered to herself.

Liu Xiaoli said this, obviously planning to let Li Yifei enter the company in Li Zhiwen's hands and slowly grasp an asset.

After all, the name of Princess Li's parents on Li Yifei's head is naturally extraordinary, and he can climb up better in the company. In the future, he can also help the boy born by Liu Xiaoli.

But Li Zhiwen's meaning obviously did not have such a plan, which made Liu Xiaoli a little unhappy.

Li Zhiwen didn't think so much at all, but simply because he didn't want to give the name of Sister Shenxian to others.

Of course, Li Zhiwen also respects the children's meaning, these are purely Li Zhiwen's own thoughts.

Li Zhiwen and James Cameron drove to Twentieth Century Fox not far from Beverly Hills, and then quickly met Lewis Royce.

"Mr. Li, admiration for a long time!" Lewis Royce said when he saw James Cameron and Li Zhiwen.

"Mr. Lewis Royce, it's nice to meet you, and I've wanted to see you for a long time." Li Zhiwen said.

"Oh? Really?" Lewis Royce said unexpectedly.

"Of course, introduce myself, I am the chairman of Hong Kong Global Cinemas." Li Zhiwen said.

And Li Zhiwen didn't talk about the release of "Terminator" first, but the novel himself is the chairman of the Hong Kong Global Cinemas, leveling the status of the two.

"That's it, Mr. Li, it's nice to meet you!" Lewis Royce stood up again and stretched out his hand to Li Zhiwen.

Hong Kong Global Cinemas, Lewis Royce has heard of, it is the most powerful cinema in East Asia and Southeast Asia, with more than 1,000 cinemas in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

And more than one thousand movie theaters are more than one thousand silver screens, an existence that Lewis Royce cannot ignore.

Therefore, because of Li Zhiwen's words, Lewis Roys put Li Zhiwen on the same level, instead of seeing him as an independent filmmaker, the scene where Lewis Royce stretched out his hand just now.

"Mr. Lewis, I am also very happy to meet you!" Li Zhiwen reached out and held Lewis Royce's hand.

"Mr. Lee, please sit down!" Lewis Royce said.

At the same time, he said to his secretary: "Angelina, brew my treasured coffee and bring my cigar!"

And soon Angelina delivered everything ready.

"Mr. Li, this is an authentic Cuban Cohiba cigar, try it!" Lewis Royce finished speaking and picked up a cigar.

And Angelina was already ready and lit a cigar for Lewis Royce.

"Mr. Lewis, it would be disrespectful!" Li Zhiwen also picked up the cigar, but it was James Cameron who lit the cigar for Li Zhiwen.

"I don't know why Mr. Lee came here?" Lewis Royce asked.

Li Zhiwen raised the issue of the release of "Terminator" before he came up. After all, he gave the initiative to others.

But Li Zhiwen said: "Of course it is for the cooperation between our Global Cinemas and 20th Century Fox!"

"Oh? Mr. Lee, please?" Lewis Royce took a deep sip of his cigar and said.

"Mr. Lewis should also know that our global cinema line is the largest cinema line in Asia, and the 20th Century Fox is the largest cinema line in Beacon Country, so I think we should have the possibility of cooperation!" Li Zhiwen said.

"I wonder how Mr. Li intends to cooperate?" Lewis said.

"Of course it's the movie release!"

"We both can come up with three films each year to make a global release at the same time. I think Mr. Lewis Royce will not refuse this kind of gimmick and cooperation!" Li Zhiwen said.

"It's a fantastic idea, but how is the box office divided?" Lewis Royce said.

"Of course it is five to five points. After all, everyone is cooperative. Fairness is the basic principle, isn't it?" Li Zhiwen said.

Lewis laughed when he heard Li Zhiwen's words.

"Mr. Li has a good calculation. Although the Global Cinemas has a thousand screens, they are uneven, and less than half of them can support a thousand people to watch the movie!"

"Although we have only 900 screens in our 20th century Fox, more than 500 of them can hold a thousand people to watch the movie."

"With such a big difference, Mr. Li thinks why we should cooperate!" Lewis Royce said.

"Lewis Royce can't say that."

"I want to ask a big film company like 20th Century Fox, how many are in the entire lighthouse?" Li Zhiwen asked with a smile.

How could Lewis Royce didn't understand Li Zhiwen's meaning, so he didn't speak.

And Li Zhiwen went on to say: "According to my investigation, there are still six film companies like Twentieth Century Fox in Beacon Country."

"And there is one and only one of us in East Asia and Southeast Asia for film companies like our Global Cinemas."

"Mr. Lewis can symbolize that if our Global Cinemas banned the screening of 20th Century Fox films, how much less 20th Century Fox would have at the box office?"

"And if we support Twentieth Century Fox, how much will it increase."

"And if we are looking for partners in Beacon Country for Global Cinemas, apart from 20th Century Fox, there are six others to choose from." Li Zhiwen said.

Although Lewis Royce did not change his face, he was wary in his heart.

To be honest, the box office problem in Asian countries has always been a pain point for the Beacon National Film Company.

Because Asian countries are very backward at this time, the buyout model is generally used instead of the split model.

The same applies to films from Asian countries when they are released in Beacon Country, using a buyout model.

The buyout prices of both are very low, and at this time a partner who wants to change this situation comes to Lewis Royce, how could Lewis Royce refuse.

But Lewis did not want to agree so simply, after all, in Lewis Royce's view, this cooperation can still be biased towards himself.

"Mr. Li, it is true that you are right, but you seem to have forgotten that even though we have many film companies in Beacon Country, there are absolutely no companies that can promise a 50-50 split, so even if you find other companies, you won't be able to cooperate." Lewis Royce said.

Hearing what Lewis Royce said, Li Zhiwen pretended to be helpless and asked for a moment in silence: "Then how is Mr. Lewis Roy preparing?"

"Each year they each come up with five films to cooperate. Of course, if the box office is not satisfactory, it can be released in advance."

"At the same time, the box office score became 4.5 to 5.5, and our side accounted for 5.5." Lewis Royce said.

Hearing what Lewis Royce said, Li Zhiwen was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was much more serious, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Deal!"

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Lewis Royce said.

Lewis Royce feels that he has taken advantage of it. After all, with the film level of the Beacon Country, Lewis Royce believes that it is not difficult to win a high box office in Asia.

And it has reached the premise that the box office can be released in advance if the box office is not ideal, which is simply very good.

"Happy cooperation!" Li Zhiwen said unhappily.

And Li Zhiwen is also very happy, because Li Zhiwen now has the password to open the lighthouse market, action movies and Chen Long.

There is no problem with Chen Long's action film winning the high box office in the lighthouse country, and it will also open up Chen Long's reputation in the lighthouse country.

In addition, even if this trick is unsuccessful, Li Zhiwen still has many big hit movies in his later generations, such as "Home Alone" and "Jurassic Park".

With James Cameron in, coupled with the technology of Industrial Light and Magic, these can all be born early.

Li Zhiwen's move was simply a profit, and it also opened the door to the lighthouse nation.

"Since the cooperation has been reached, then "Terminator" is our sincerity. We will arrange for "Terminator" to be released on the Christmas file. I hope that the global theaters will also cooperate with the world!" Lewis Royce said.

"No problem, I will go down and make arrangements!" Li Zhiwen said.

James Cameron on the side was shocked. The two did not talk about "Terminator", but confirmed the schedule of "Terminator".
