American Scandal King

Chapter 225 Continue to purchase copyright

Chapter 225 Continue to purchase copyright
It's so easy to film these guys.

Just hide the camera outside, wait for the security personnel to confirm that everything is fine and leave, and then drag it over with the invisible thread.

In fact, if Ian wanted to, he could also bring out the information he got from Nicole Kidman, the content of the secret conversations in the club, and other negative information he got from his subsequent tracking.

But it's not necessary.

This part of the content is of great importance and may even be in opposition to the entire Jewish nation.

This kind of negative information can only be released when the relationship turns against each other, to deal a fatal blow.

For now, this part is enough.

That day, George Lucas and others talked with Ian for a long time.

They wanted to replace it with something else, but Ian didn't care.

He doesn't want money, he just wants to spend it.

The only thing George Lucas, Spielberg and others can do is to fight for price and treatment.

George Lucas said: "Lucasfilm only has the copyright, the production and distribution rights are all with Fox."

Ian smiled. "Then you don't have to worry about it. I've always only held the copyright, not the production rights. The film will still be the responsibility of Fox and you... I've always promised that."

According to Ian, it means shares in copyright, publicity and distribution, plus a small amount of investment.

It doesn't have to be much, a total share of 15%-20% is enough.

The degree of copyright share depends on the value of the copyright itself. Ordinary copyrights are not eligible for shareholding, better ones can hold 3 to 5 points, and the best ones can hold more.

When Sony and MGM produced 007, they had to cover half of the film's cost, but only earned less than a quarter of the profit. The reason was the copyright. The Star Wars copyright is a sacred commodity for Americans, and theoretically, a 007-20% stake is not a problem.

But Ian didn't want to be so stingy, so he agreed to only take 5%-10% of the copyright.
The important thing is that this is not a box office share, but a share across all channels. You don’t have to spend much money, it’s pure free money.

So 15-20% is the upper limit of Ian's robbery.

A deal like this would normally take more than a month, let alone a day, but time waits for no one.

The Natalie Portman affair must be cleared up quickly, otherwise the public will not trust her.

Ian also made the biggest concession. The price can be increased, and all the rights can be given to you. I just want money and some corresponding rights for these copyrights: for example, in the future production of these copyrighted movies, try to use my artists.

All of this is to ensure the quality of the film.

Under these circumstances, the parties finally reached a deal quickly.

By dusk, an agreement was reached.

Ian eventually acquired the Star Wars copyright for $10 million, which, after negotiation with Fox, gave him a % stake.

The copyright of Jurassic is 10 million, and the conditions are the same.

Finn & Co. paid $49 million for a % stake, but couldn't take all of it because Summer Redstone didn't show up. For Summer Redstone, the worst that could happen was the loss of a senior executive, so Ian had no choice but to settle for a joint stake. After all, the goal wasn't to make money, but to gain access to crucial financial information from Wall Street.

This is in preparation for the further expansion of Lino Bank.

Carle Media and Viacom don't like each other, and the competition has continued from the initial CBS to the present, with all kinds of open and secret struggles.

But now, they have become joint shareholders of Finn Company...

This is business, this is destiny.

They may still fight in the future, but it will not affect everyone occasionally sitting at the same table to discuss the development of a company.

While calculating against each other, they also work together.

It's bad for business, but who cares?

This crappy company isn't worth anything anyway, all they want is information and manipulation.

ABC was the only one that did not reach an agreement immediately.

Because this matter still needs Victoria's Secret's approval.

Fortunately, Ian is well-known, and Victoria's Secret does not object to cooperating with Ian. They are just not satisfied with his plan to hold the Victoria's Secret show on LANN. They would rather hand it over to CBS or Fox to expand their influence.

For this reason, Ian once again promised that LANN would definitely develop - if Fox, CBS and Gannett had not divided his news, LANN would have soared again long ago, but even now the growth rate is not slow.

The Victoria's Secret Angels said: They really want to test Ian's limits.

Ian welcomed them: You are too weak, you will definitely not be able to try it out with just one or two. Time is so tight for everyone, so let’s just have a party when we have the chance.

Leonardo DiCaprio: Me! Me! Me! And me!
As for Disney, they were not deeply involved, but they still had to give face to Spielberg and others, so they agreed to give up bidding for Pixar.

It is said that this incident later made Jobs extremely annoyed, and he finally agreed to sell Pixar to Ian for 2.5 billion.

This also annoyed Ian.

Damn, it took half a year and the price increased by 500 million!

Big loss.

Mr. Jobs, you are really good at doing business.

After buying the winery and expanding Blue Sky and Lino, Ian had almost no money left.

Afghanistan's second 3 billion needs to be used to develop redstone, and the subsequent purchase of copyrights, Pixar and Apple shares will require further borrowing.

Fortunately, Linuo was expanding and could lend him money, so Ian borrowed another 33 billion for this acquisition, bringing his loan balance to 135 billion.

At dusk, the negotiations ended and a preliminary agreement was reached.

Spielberg and others looked at Ian with gloomy expressions, feeling the helplessness and pain of having their own child taken away.

Ian didn't care.

After signing, Ian asked for money immediately.

It’s so damn cheap, the total cost is less than 100 million.

He smiled and said, "Well, goodbye everyone, I hope we have the opportunity to work together next time."

As he said that, he gave the computer and camera to the other party.

I guess they will scold the security company harshly when they go back, and then find someone else to cooperate with.

It’s useless to change anyone. The only safe way is for a group of men to huddle in bed and communicate... Be careful of accidental discharge of guns!
The deal was settled and Natalie Portman was about to leave when Ian came over.

He naturally put his arm around Natalie Portman's slender waist and said, "It's late. I'll sleep here tonight."

As he said this, he walked out with his arm around Natalie Portman.

A group of people looked at Ian in shock.

You actually still want to...

Why not?

Natalie Portman is wonderful!
Natalie looked at him in astonishment: "Ian Karl, you..."

Ian laughed and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I told you, I still miss your body. This is the biggest reason why I let you go."

Taking Natalie with them, they walked out of the cafe.

Natalie Portman was a little nervous, but at that moment her fear gradually dissipated, and there was an inexplicable expectation in her eyes when she looked at Ian.

This is the man who easily controlled Spielberg and others!

Regardless of physical strength, charm is unlimited.

Putting aside personal grudges...there was no personal grudge in the first place, and Natalie Portman still had a good impression of him.

So when I looked at him at this moment, I felt a kind of longing and excitement in my heart.

He still misses me!
So she followed Ian away, leaving Spielberg and others alone in silence.

For a moment, they really wanted to find someone to monitor Ian.

Unfortunately, it is not possible and it is useless.

Taking Natalie Portman into the extended Lincoln, Brydeson consciously raised the tailgate of the car.

The car drove out steadily.

Ian folded down the two seats to form a large bed.

He looked at Natalie with a smile, reached under her skirt with one hand, and tore off her white lace panties.

Ian pressed Natalie in front of him and said, "Serve me well and don't make me angry."

Natalie was filled with grief and indignation: "If I make you unhappy, will you tear up the agreement?"

"No," Ian replied.

He lifted Natalie's chin and said, "I never use information from previous transactions to cheat others. That's my bottom line and my principle. But you know, Natalie, I can always have a lot of information if I want. Unless you can promise to live like a saint from now on, you can't escape it."

He looked at Natalie with cold eyes: "Now, make me happy, bitch!"

Natalie closed her eyes helplessly.

He covets me.

But he's not obsessed with me!

Faced with the cruel words of "bitch", Natalie Portman was helpless but could only endure it.

There is even a hint of pleasure in being abused.

The scenery outside the window passed by quickly, and the spring scenery in the car was everywhere.

Ian's heart was as calm as water, not even a little excited.

This made him somewhat regretful.

It turns out that without emotional connection, there is something missing.

But it doesn’t matter, the variety can make up for it.

He looked down at Natalie beneath him and said, "Turn around."
