Mission Flow Chapter 157

Mission Liu Shenhao Chapter 157 Royal Suite

Two weeks passed in a blink of an eye.

Cao Su has nothing particularly important in China. Song Jingying, Li Hangyi, and Duan Caiyun are watching the Dragon Ball live broadcast. After the amazing opening show to seize the opportunity of the game live broadcast track, it is developing steadily.

In life, he didn't even have a formal girlfriend in Shencheng, and several Hongyans were very tolerant of his time and schedule.

Upgrade to the top-of-the-line Royal Suite during your stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills. Rates are $18,600 a night. Expensive is expensive, and it is indeed better to live in than the special Doheny suite he stayed in before.

Not to mention the view, space, and decoration of the room, but there is a whole team to serve him, which is very nice. All kinds of things don't need him to worry about. His full-time driver, tour guide, and translator, Uncle Hurley, officially declared "industry".

The housekeeper of the Royal Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, a beautiful young mixed-race woman, also brought him an invitation to a fundraiser for Cohen, the prosecutor who administers the Hollywood justice. For the time being, however, he is not interested in getting involved in politics.

After calling lawyer Granton for consultation, he donated a small campaign fund of $1,500 in the name of Cactus, which is considered a protection fee.

Qiao Mei also moved to the royal suite, but stayed with him for a few days before returning to Seoul, South Korea. It is impossible for a star of her level to take vacations all the time. The brokerage firm will not allow it either.

Before leaving, he had passed all three paths in Huashan.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Kepper." The place to meet again with Fox producer Jeremy Kepper is still in the Royal Suite of the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Mr. Cao, I'm sorry to bother you again." Jeremy Keppel was a little restrained and said politely.

He's just a middle-income worker, and Fox's wealth has nothing to do with him! In the royal suite of a top five-star hotel, he really didn't have a chance to sit in it and experience it.

The beautiful mixed-blood family brought a bottle of Dom Perignon Champagne 15 years. After helping pour the wine with grace, he said, "You can call me if you have any orders." With that, he shook Xiao Qiaotun and left the living room of the suite.

"Try it, I drank it recently, and I think it's not bad."

Jeremy Keppel took a sip of champagne at Cao Su's gesture. He had a preliminary negotiation with Joel Galton, the general manager of Cactus Company. I roughly understand the mind of this young Chinese rich man. Then he said: "

Mr. Cao, we at Fox have no opinion on your idea of ​​co-producing. But for box office receipts…”

Cao Su took a sip of champagne and said leisurely, "Tell me about it."

He spent the past two weeks working full-time in stocks, making a lot of money. Not paying too much attention to what's going on in Hollywood. I heard that as Christmas is approaching, Hollywood's six major productions are being announced one after another to compete for audiences.

He now kind of understands what Jeremy Kepper told him the previous two weeks that Facebook can threaten Hollywood too. This is not a living example. What movie to watch on Facebook during the Christmas holidays?

Ha ha!

Cao Su himself felt happy.

His thoughts on the two film projects "The Martian" and "The Female Spy" still hope that Cactus Company will participate in the production. This is a bit laborious and thankless compared to pure investment and dividend operations. But it can accumulate experience and bring contacts for the cactus company.

And, he needs the Cactus Company to make a name for itself in Hollywood. This is convenient for him to operate in the country!

So he's making a fortune in the stock market during this time and he's getting Joel Galton to hire people in Hollywood, and the Cactus Company, which will get the company documents, is designed by the Leather Bag Company for a substantive small production company.

However, Granton, an Italian-American lawyer who has provided services in Hollywood for a long time, reminded him: co-producer, I am afraid that after the funds go in, Fox can make him useless!

A million dollar set, three million bills for you, and so on. The funds for the filming run out halfway, and the need for additional funds is a high-probability event.

Therefore, it is necessary to impose restrictions on the contract, requiring large accounting affairs to come in to review the financial affairs, and at the same time to take out insurance. Get "full" coverage from a major insurance company familiar with Hollywood rules.

This is really too magical. To invest in filmmaking, you have to buy "finished book" insurance. Is it possible to buy "complete book" insurance after reading the online article?

But it's very American.

Everything can be financialized and capitalized. including people.

Cao Su was confident that the 25-year-old mixed-blood family in the royal suite looked a bit like a fair-skinned version of Halle Berry, and he estimated that she could sleep with her for $20,000.

Jeremy Keppel said: "Mr. Cao, you are optimistic about the sci-fi film project "The Martian", so we are also interested in investing in Fox. The screenwriter Drew Gundam has a strong desire to become a director. He is also working for This project runs.

Such science fiction movie projects are level productions in Hollywood, with budgets of more than 100 million US dollars. Special effects are expensive! "

Cao Su's ears moved slightly. Uh, this is another profit point that can be replicated in China! Same with movie theaters.

Jeremy Keppel continued: "We tentatively set a production budget of 100 million. If you are willing to invest 30 million, Fox is willing to invest 30 million. There is still a funding gap of 40 million. Production revenue. Allocate according to the proportion of investment.

But this production revenue refers to the profit after deducting distribution costs and production costs from the box office. Not that you mentioned the division of interests according to the box office.

The distribution goes to Fox, and we follow the standard contract for distribution. This is the specific contract. "

Jeremy Kepper handed Cao Su a generous contract. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Cao Su read it a little. Fox is unwilling to take any loss in distribution! The screening schedule, duration, etc. are all tied to the instant box office. Peripheral products, DVDs, copyright fees sold to streaming media, TVs, and movie soundtrack music copyrights, Fox will account for the bulk.

"It is indeed a monopoly giant who is riding a horse! The small film companies under the suppression are difficult to survive, and it is difficult for external capital to come in and make profits. There are six major companies with distribution capabilities to make money." After reading the contract, Cao Su couldn't help but complain in Chinese. .

Cao Su looked at the fifty-two-year-old white man sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite, and said, "Kepel, I am indeed a layman in Hollywood, but I will spend 30 million dollars to invest in movies, you don't think I am Didn't do any preliminary research?

The production cost, if I don't watch the whole crew, can I make it clear? And the distribution fee will be as much as Fox says it will be?

These are invisible, uncertain numbers, and I need a clearing quantifiable settlement metric. As far as I know, Hollywood has a precedent for splitting the box office, right? "

Jeremy Keppel nodded, "Yes." This young Chinese billionaire is really not easy to fool! Of course, co-produced, Fox naturally has a way to teach newcomers how to be pitted. hey-hey.

"Then roughly estimate the production and global distribution costs, you can figure out a plan to divide the revenue according to the box office and give it to me."

"Mr. Cao, it will be a step-by-step plan."

"Can."

A day later, Jeremy Keppel returned to the Royal Suite at the Four Seasons with a new distribution of benefits. +Bookmark+
