364 - Dividing is coming again

As the major shareholder of Warner Bros., the company's revenue has never had any trouble with Wayne's share of the pay and box office.

No one knows more about the specific nature of this young man than Warner Brothers. He is a typical sunny young man with a broad mind on the surface. In fact, the bottom line behind his back is so low that he can make any money as long as he thinks, and he is accompanied by a crazy and small-minded attitude of revenge.

Talented people have unusual quirks. Similar statements have always been in the West, and Wayne is definitely one of them. Just forget about the moodiness of traditional Jewish capitalists under his handsome face. From the ex-girlfriend Katie who is being criticized by Warner Bros., rumors of similar abuse can be found in Katie, the ex-girlfriend who is being criticized by Warner Bros., which is not necessarily groundless.

Such a person who is easy-going on the surface, complex and changeable on the inside, holds a large amount of Warner Bros. and is extremely important to the company's revenue. The board of directors and senior executives will only delay his share of the money until the deadline and finally give it to him.

If there is anything that makes this willful and dark madman dissatisfied with the line to see them break up, there are at least five companies, and some are willing to take out their own shares to welcome this black gem in the crown of Hollywood movies.

In this commercial society, don’t think that the two parties are tied together and rest assured. Founders of large companies will break up because of trivial matters, let alone the extremely realistic entertainment industry. I’m afraid that only in Hollywood, where you are drunk and dreamy, can so many strange things happen than in movies happen.

"Well, you're staring at Colin Howard yourself and do your tax avoidance for this money."

After carefully looking at the digital report, Wayne couldn't understand anything except the number close to 70 million US dollars marked at the end.

"Batman: The Moment of War" has a global box office of about 790 million US dollars. This amount of money is not enough for Warner Bros., let alone the accounting team led by Colin, who has been staring at this area.

Take the pen from the assistant lady, sign your name on the authorization document, and continue: "The money is placed on the studio account first, we are not in a hurry to invest."

"no problem."

Nina nodded and put away the documents, put another piece of organized information in front of him. "This is the price Jimmy finally negotiated. Marvel comics' profit sharing of film and television was killed by six percent and they would not let go. It should be their bottom line."

No matter what means the agent negotiated the agreement with Wayne, the price in front of him was very satisfied.

Iron Man and Black Widow animation film and television copyrights are packaged and exclusively bought out to Greenberg Studio. In addition to paying $17 million in cash, Marvel Comics will own six percent of the full copyrights obtained by film and television adaptation.

This condition is relatively normal, and it is not much different from Universal Pictures' Hulk, Sony Columbia's Spider-Man, Fox's X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. The share ratio is not much different. This is the only hope that Marvel Comics retains.

At some point in his previous life, Marvel Comics watched "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" and other films become jealous, but it can only get the share of less profits compared to the huge profits to maintain the company in a stagnant manner.

Now in this time and space, Wayne took away the capital of Jingjue’s bets and broke the Jingjue into pieces with his own hands, but so what? Let them continue to survive.

What annoyed the whole thing the leader Jimmy most was actually Batman made by his own customer. Without the success of Grandpa Bruce Wayne, it would be impossible to get the copyright of these two second- and third-tier heroes.

"Good news comes one after another, don't worry, your bonus will be increased again. If this continues, you can consider taking in a few male models."

Wayne happily handed the documents back, took out a cigarette in a happy mood, and joked at the assistant lady.

As if he didn't hear the incredible suggestion, Nina carefully checked the signature on the document and put it in her briefcase together.

Actually, this is not a joke. As a rich little woman, the assistant lady can get a considerable bonus from every income of Wayne. It is definitely not a delusion to have a few male models.

Now when it comes to the service providers who make money around big names, their first impression is Tom Cruise's agent and head of the public relations team, Pat Kingsley. This woman joined the 10% club early in the morning.

However, the assistant lady's income in the past two years will never be much worse than the other party. After all, her boss's ability to attract money is far higher than that of that superstar.

This is just one aspect. Nina's IQ under her ordinary face may be more than 90% of the practitioners in this circle. She has been investing in the shares of the two Internet companies that Colin Howard bought for Wayne, and this is the big part of the profit.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spine turned into the manor. Unlike usual, there are more paparazzi waiting at the gate of the manor today.

These practitioners at the bottom of the circle can be called human spirits. They collect all the information they can sell money. The soon-to-be-born Little Greenberg is the reason why this group of people gather here.

"Do you want to find a way to drive them away?"

After the car stopped, Sergei stretched out his long arm and pointed out in the direction outside the gate. "Brothers told me this morning that the number of paparazzi is increasing. If these cousins ​​are raised, I swear that they will break the necks of these cousins ​​one by one."

"never mind."

Wayne got out of the car and tidied up his suit, reached out and patted the Russian bear's arm, and shook his head with a smile. "Let them go, we will be in the hospital tomorrow."

He originally planned to set up a small infirmary in the manor, but he was firmly opposed by the Australian girl. He simply did not have any problems and would be at ease in two days.

The housekeeper Hela was waiting at the entrance of the main building and walked a few steps to him. The two of them reported softly while walking in. "Mr. Peter Jackson has been waiting for an hour, and Ms. Watts is accompanying him in the living room."

"Yeah, I get it."

When I entered the living room, the New Zealander in front of me was much more agile. His messy beards were specially tidied up. His clothes were still casual, but there were no obvious wrinkles, and his face returned to normal color.

"Sit down."

Seeing them come in, Peter Jackson clasped his hands, looking anxious and anxious, waiting for trial.

Before he could say hello, Wayne waved his hand and signaled that he would be honest and talk about the matter directly.

Before he could sit down, the New Zealander asked impatiently: "Mr. Greenberg, the script I adapted..."

"no!"

Looking at the other person's lonely eyes for a moment, Wayne's tone did not change at all. He continued, "I have read that thing from beginning to end. Compared to the trilogy series, it is too long and messy. Such a script is completely unqualified.

All plots that are not related to the main line must be cut off, and some main lines must be deleted as appropriate. Now the script you adapt, let alone the trilogy, even the five movies have a lot of space and still have a lot of time. Take it back and revise it."

"I see."

Peter Jackson had no nonsense. After understanding the requirements, he turned around and prepared to go back and continue to start work. He is a die-hard book fan of this series. His first idea is that he must be willing to stuff all the plots into the script.

Since this version doesn't work now, he is not particularly disappointed. As long as the other party doesn't mean to change him, it is not a big problem to continue to modify the script.

"Another workaholic." Looking at Peter Jackson's back as he left, Nao Miwatts sighed.

"Only those who are focused are worthy of success."

Wayne shrugged and agreed with the Australian girl. It was destined to be impossible to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The script is just the beginning, and there will be more trouble waiting for the bearded New Zealand.

When he met himself, Peter Jackson was already very lucky. He only had to care about his work and not worry about other things.

You should know that the project of "The Lord of the Rings" in his previous life almost went bankrupt since the preparation period. The Weinstein brothers who had agreed to invest in the two plots at the beginning suddenly changed their minds and told the busy New Zealanders that they only had enough money to shoot one.

Peter Jackson, who was so angry that he did a lot of work, cursed the streets directly. In the end, the New Zealander played the procrastination tactics while taking his money to take a 25-minute sample, begging his grandpa to sue his grandma and sneaking investment.

It was not until Xie Yi, the president of Xinyi Film, saw the sample he took and concluded that the film would definitely become popular. Then he asked a question: The original novel is a trilogy, why do you need to make two? Isn’t it good to directly produce a trilogy?

He didn't dare to tell the truth, because the Weinstein brothers were annoyed by him and did not give him money, for fear of directly telling the numbers they needed and scaring away the only interested potential investors.

The development of things was unexpected. Xinyi Film did not hesitate at all and expressed its willingness to pay for the investment of "The Lord of the Rings" of more than 200 million US dollars. The film was officially launched during the bumps.

The only one who suffered a loss here may be the Weinstein brothers. The copyright of the Lord of the Rings was first integrated, and most of the profits of the film were taken away by Xinyi Film.

In accordance with the rules within the circle, companies that invest in producing and distributing videos enjoy all copyrights of their works.

In fact, before the film was shot, no one expected that it would be so successful. Otherwise, the fat man Harvey would not easily enter the new line, especially the production funds that needed to be invested in the early stage, which would be 280 million US dollars in real money!

This price is an astronomical figure for anyone, not to mention that in the late 1990s, the purchasing power of the US dollar was quite strong.

"Wayne, hey, Hani?!"

Naomi Watts reached out to shake Wayne's eyes, knowing that he was habitually distracted again.

"What?" Shaking his head vigorously, he looked at the expectant mother beside him.

"Promise me not to go into the delivery room, I don't need you to accompany you!"

This question is very important. The Australian girl doesn't want him to leave some shadows. The child's father accompanied the expectant mother into the operating room. This is not new here.

"Okay, you have the final say."
