Wayne looked at Harvey, thinking about the possibility of handing over the new project to Miramax.

The other party is right. As long as any project is handed over to a large company, it will undergo countless reviews from project establishment to approval. No film company will joke about hundreds of millions of dollars, and even the production cost of mainstream commercial films will soar in the future. If hundreds of millions of dollars are not careful, any company will be in trouble.

But these are all processes that must be gone through. Mainstream commercial films have long had a complete operation process. Even directors like Spielberg or producers who have been successful continuously like Bruceheimer cannot change this program. They can only say that they can speed up with their status.

Wayne is still a young director, and Fox can't look at him differently. Even if he has a good success, it will not be of much help to his current situation.

If it was really like Harvey said, Miramax could review it as soon as possible and start film production as soon as possible, which really touched him. He knew that time means much more to him than others.

"Harvey, if the project is handed over to Miramax, can you be sure to pass the review as soon as possible? I mean, can you make a decision alone?" He asked the other party with some uncertainty. After all, the company is not completely up to the other party, and Disney factors must be considered.

Seeing that Wayne was obviously moved by himself, Harvey said proudly: "You can rest assured that Miramax's operation has always been the final say. If you want, you can bring the project plan and script at any time and come to Miramax to check it out."

"Okay, I will contact you after finishing the plan in a few days. We will discuss it in detail later." He is not afraid of selling goods for two families, one daughter and two husbands, and even if it is feasible, he is planning to contact more companies.

"Okay, I'll wait for your phone call." Harvey said and left with satisfaction. Everyone is adults, and it seems that they have completely forgotten what happened in the film festival before. For the sake of the US dollar, let alone this little face, it is even a bigger contradiction, and it is worthless in front of the US dollar.

Wayne, considering the feasibility, stood up and walked to Naomi, and said to her, "I'm going back, are you going to go together?"

"Of course, go to my place? I got some new toys, which are absolutely exciting. Do you want to try it?" Naomi looked at him and licked his lips, saying something that only two people understood.

"I can't wait to see, let's go." Wayne greeted Terry, pulled Naomi and walked into the underground parking lot.

In the car, Naomi asked the other party in confusion: "I remember you said before that fat pig is definitely not a good partner. Why do you think you and him are having a good conversation?"

"Nami, the situation has changed. I am not sure whether I will work with him. It depends on the attitude of Twentieth Century Fox towards the new project. Even if I work with him, I will not be qualified to make requests like I did a few months ago." Wayne said confidently, believing that he could get some respect he deserved through "Happy Day".

"Okay, I don't like that fat man. His eyes look at people are like a snake crawling on his body." Naomi obviously doesn't like Harvey very much. It can be said that no one will like Harvey's strong personality.

"In some aspects, the other party is a very successful producer. But his personality is very unpleasant, which does not mean that he is not successful. This fat man has no bottom line in doing things, and he will be more successful in the future."

That's right, this fat man will be more successful in the future, and even becomes a guarantee of Oscars in the circle. As Wayne said, Harvey definitely doesn't know what the bottom line is. The Oscar game has been played by his PR strategy.

Wayne has several classic public relations cases that have memories, such as this fat man bribed the media by bribing Spielberg's "Save Private Ryan" directly lost the Oscars, and the final profit was Miramax's video.

For example, this guy has the most beautiful actress in history. No matter what, it is also a kind of ability to make him a female queen. This fat man is still cold and cold. He is a person of Melstrip's age and sleeps even though he is. This kind of product without a bottom line is always easier to succeed.

In fact, even Mrs. Cruise, who just divorced, won the Best Actress Award at the Oscars, is also the big fat man's credit. Not to mention the fat man's character, just saying that he had slept with the mermaid Nicole Kidman, sometimes it makes people feel annoyed.

Parked the car downstairs and the two entered Naomi's apartment together. Just as Wayne came out of the shower, he saw Naomi changing.

She was wearing a tight black ultra-thin leather jacket and a black lace eye mask on her eyes. The whole body looked concave and convex under the leather jacket. The most serious thing was that she also had a cat ear on her head and a belt ring on her neck, and a thin chain on the ring.

Naomi was stunned when she saw him coming out, and proudly picked up the thin chain and put it in the other party's hand. "Wayne, Mr. Batman, the Black Catwoman reported to you, do you want to take a walk of the kitten?"

"yes, you're so good at playing, Nami."

Wayne picked up the chain and slowly led her into the bedroom. This arrangement was so exciting. It seemed that the other party knew him and it really took some time to think about it.

The next morning, Wayne returned to his room with a refreshing feeling. The pressure he had been perfectly released for some time. Now he just wants to complete the plan at hand as soon as possible.

Just as he was concentrating on producing new projects, Twentieth Century Fox was also discussing Wayne's top CEO office, in addition to Townsend Roseman, the distribution department manager, there were Tim Fisher of the film and television production department, and Twentieth Century Fox's CEO Jeff Giannopoulos.

Ceo Jeff frowned and said: "The first week of Alien 3 did not meet expectations. Townsend, please inform us to reduce the subsequent investment in publicity and promotion, reduce the scale of publicity, and stop the loss as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will stop the subsequent investment and call theaters to help them increase the screening time of "Alien 3" as much as possible, but even so, it will take many years of offline operations to recover the cost."

The box office failure of the alien is certain, but even if you lose money, it is temporary. For large Hollywood companies, offline operations can recover costs or even make profits, which is just a matter of time.

"The overseas copyright of the film made by the Ruben child is still in his hands? This project was run by you and created a large amount of revenue.

Then contact the child and buy the overseas copyright and subsequent production copyright in his hands. Check out his wishes. If appropriate, you can hand over the second part of "Happy Day" to him for filming and add it to the contract as a negotiation condition."

Listening to Jeff's words, Townsend remembered that before the film was released, even if it was bought out at a low price, the child would have to retain the overseas distribution rights and subsequent copyrights. Did he expect the film to be successful?

"I'll go to talk to him, but it's hard to get the copyright at a low price now," Townsend Rossman said, thinking and continuing: "But he doesn't seem to want to continue directing the sequel to this film. I heard from Terry that he is planning a new project."

"Then take down his new project and tell him that Fox can invest in production." Jeff picked up the coffee and took a sip, thought for a while and said, "But there must be an audit procedure that should be available. First, look at his new project. If there is a prospect, it will be discussed at the Monday conference."

At this time, Tim Fisher, who had been listening to it for a long time, couldn't help but speak: "That kind of child who has not graduated has been lucky enough to make a big-selling film. For such a young director, we must be cautious and must not ignore the risks behind the film."

Seeing Jeff and Townsend looking at him, Tim Fisher continued: "Although his first film is very popular among young people, we should not forget that the audience's tastes are fickle. This is a niche film, and no one knows whether those young fans will buy it in the next one."

None of the people who can become executives in Hollywood giants are idiots. All Tim Fisher said is objective facts. But the reasons why he said these are worth considering.

Townsend Roseman is his main competitor for the next CEO, and the films introduced by the other party have generated a large amount of revenue, so he absolutely cannot do nothing.

Ceo Jeff heard Tim's words and thought about it carefully before saying, "Townsen, let's talk to him about the overseas distribution rights as soon as possible. We must take advantage of the popularity of North America to release the video overseas as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will ask him out as soon as possible." Townsend Roseman finished and returned to his office. Of course, he knew what Tim meant. These things were inevitable in big companies, just like he had ruined Tim's plan himself.

The next day, Wayne had to stop his work again, and under Jimmy's leadership, he came to Fox Building again to talk about copyright transactions.

He himself did not want to leave the copyright of the video, and it was in his interest to sell it at a suitable price. He did not have the ability to operate these things, and he knew very well.

This time, the one who received Jimmy and the others became Townsend Roseman. To be honest, Wayne was quite grateful to each other, regardless of whether it was because of his father's favor or money, the other party gave him an important opportunity before.

"Hi, Wayne, how are you preparing for the new project these days?" Townsend greeted happily.

"It went very smoothly, and it would be completed in a few days. Fox will see the plan as soon as possible." He shook hands affectionately with the other party. He had a good impression of the Jew.

"Well, okay, let's talk about the important matters. For the overseas distribution rights and sequel copyrights of "Happy Death Day", Twentieth Century Fox is going to buy them all, let's get a price, Wayne."

"30 million US dollars!" Wayne looked into the other party's eyes. At this time, no friendship was comparable to that of the US dollar. "Fox only needs 30 million US dollars to pack and take him away."

Listening to Wayne's offer, even though Jimmy had known that he would open his mouth, he was shocked. Not only Jimmy, Townsend Rossman and Terry came in to bring coffee, were shocked by his price.

"Impossible, the price you offered is too high! This is a horror movie. How much did you spend on shooting this movie? $30 million, no, no, that's outrageous."

Townsend Rossman thought that the other party would ask for a high price, but he didn't expect that the price would be so high.
