hollywood draw

Wayne looked at Townsend Roseman in surprise and shouted. The other party seemed to be frightened by the price he offered, but he noticed that the other party's eyes had not changed, full of calmness and rationality.

This can only show one thing, that is, it is not easy for people who can be such a giant executive.

"Mr. Rossman, I don't think I need to analyze the possible benefits of "Happy Death Day"? I'm not a fool outside the circle. We all know that as long as the movies sold in North America can have good box office overseas, and Twentieth Century Fox has a complete overseas distribution network."

"Director Greenberg, all of what you said must be based on Fox's overseas distribution department. If you lack these, you will not be able to issue overseas. Your asking price is too high." Townsend refuted his words, as if Townsend was very objective, but in fact they were all means of price reduction.

He always keeps that sentence in mind, only those who buy goods will hate the goods. If the other party touches the bottom line by this price, it is absolutely impossible to continue talking to him.

Wayne kept staring at the other party's eyes, wanting to see some changes from Townsend's eyes. "Mr. Rossman, not mentioning overseas revenue, the copyright of the sequel of this film is worth the price. We all understand that with the current audience base, as long as the sequel is not very bad, the box office will definitely explode, and my asking price is definitely not high."

Townsend Roseman was also thinking, and finally realized that this child was not easy to fool. His work determined that he could only stand on Fox's standpoint and try his best to reduce the price.

There has always been a saying in North America that business is business, and business is just business.

"Talk it straight away Wayne, $12 million, buy the overseas distribution rights and subsequent copyright of "Happy Death Day". This price is not low, and it is already a sky-high price compared to your investment in the film."

"Yes, compared to my investment, this price is not low, but this price does not represent the value of Happy Days. Mr. Rossman, there is more than one company in Hollywood, and I believe someone will bid to buy it. I came to Fox just because you released it."

Wayne is absolutely impossible to sell the copyright at a low price. In his plan, he rarely has such an opportunity in the future, and he does not plan to go to independent production in the future.

Looking at the other party's eyes, his pupils shrank significantly. He knew that Fox had mentioned Fox's weakness. Fox bought out all copyrights in North America, and subsequent adaptations and overseas distribution rights were very important to Fox.

As Wayne said, as long as he releases the news, there will definitely be a lot of people who buy the copyright he has. At least five giants are willing to buy it. The relationship between these giants in Hollywood is both competitive and competitive. While making money, it would be even better if they can disgust the other party.

"$18 million, Wayne! This is Fox's bottom line. Don't forget who released the video for you. If there were no Fox, your film would be worthless." While the two of them were thinking, a white man pushed the door and spoke directly to Wayne.

When everyone saw him coming in, everyone was stunned. Wayne glanced at the other party and looked directly at Townsend Rossman. "Mr. Rossman, aren't you here to preside over the negotiation?"

"This is Tim Fisher, the production department of 20th Century Fox Film and Television. Yes, I'm here to host the negotiations, wait." Townsend explained, then looked at Tim and said:

"I'll preside over this matter. Tim, if you want to intervene and need to hold a new meeting, you have to explain the situation to Jeff."

Tim obviously didn't have the consciousness of making trouble. He said with a relaxed expression: "Well, I just made a suggestion to tell this young director why he succeeded, ok, you guys continue!" After that, he opened the door and walked out.

No one expected this accident, and even Townsend did not expect it. Wayne looked at all, and his temper was not angry at all. Compared to tens of millions of dollars, he was not a big deal.

"Is this a big company? Mr. Rossman? I hope the struggle between your company factions will not affect us. Well, that gentleman said something. Seeing that Fox released this video first, I can give in, $28 million, and take everything away."

Townsend returned to the opposite side and said with a ugly expression: "He will not affect this negotiation. Wayne, your asking price is too high. I need your sincere offer. Now I don't want to play the trick of asking for money with you anymore, and tell us the price we can accept."

Wayne knew that the other party was much more anxious than him. Now the film was about to be out of stock in North America, and the box office was about to be 70 million US dollars. Fox needs to take advantage of the popularity to release the video overseas as soon as possible.

"Okay, Townsend, a fixed price, $25 million! This is the final offer! If Fox buys, I will pay the funds within half a month and transfer the money to Greenberg Studio's account. I can't wait for you to get the funds back."

This is Wayne's psychological price. If he is less, he will really go to someone else. Paying off the purchase funds is a prerequisite, because the profit recovery period of the movie is too long, and it usually takes at least one year.

He couldn't wait for so long. The longer he delayed the longer he was, the more unfavorable he would be to him. Who would be sure about what happened in the future?

"Wayne, I need time to think about it. Give me half an hour, you're waiting for me here." Seeing that he bit the last price to death, Townsend understood from his expression. If Fox disagreed, Wayne would definitely look for someone else when he went out.

Wayne was not in a hurry, and after agreeing, he easily chatted with Jimmy. About half an hour later, Townsend Rossman and Terry returned to the conference room.

"Well, you won the boy, $25 million, and you bought the overseas distribution rights and subsequent copyrights of "Happy Death Day" in your hand. The funds to buy out the copyright will be transferred to Greenberg Studio's account at least half a month at the latest."

Seeing Townsend come in with a relaxed expression on his face, he knew that things were done.

"I can sign a contract at any time, Mr. Rossman." Wayne stood up and smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party.

"You can sign it right away, as long as your agent is there." Townsend also smiled and held his hand.

Jimmy looked at the two of them in surprise. She was still tense and had a disagreement, but in a blink of an eye she became like an old friend.

Sure enough, business is business, and business is just business!

Things went well, and under the witness of lawyers and agents, Wayne signed his name on the contract.

It was not until he went out and got in the car that he waved his hand vigorously. This was the first big money he earned with his own abilities. He understood that it would be difficult to knock on Fox so easily in the future.

Sitting on the pickup truck, Jimmy looked at Wayne with complicated eyes. No one could have thought that more than half a year ago, this kid was holding a script and needed to help save a simple crew. More than half a year later, he actually made tens of millions from this video.

Watching him start the car, Jimmy asked him curiously: "What are you going to do after making such a big amount of money? Don't tell me you have to invest in your own videos."

"You're not wrong, Jimmy. I won't invest in my own film production anymore. This time I'm just a lucky draw. You've seen all the difficulties in the middle." He drove the car and chatted with Jimmy happily.

"Okay, lucky boy, you easily earned wealth that ordinary people would never make in their lifetime." Jimmy said helplessly. Today's negotiations also stimulated him a lot, even more than when buying out the video.

Tens of millions of dollars are a big money no matter when. Even after Wayne came thirty years later, this is a big money that can change the fate of many people.

"Jimmy, do you think I should consider changing a house?"

"Investing in real estate is a good choice, and money will only depreciate in the bank." Jimmy gave him a serious suggestion.

"Okay, please contact a real estate agent, and the main goal is to Beverly, and I need an assistant, please pay attention to it."

Beverly Hills is located in Los Angeles, USA. It is known as the "most noble residential area in the world". It is called the representative and symbol of wealth, fame and fortune.

Located on the refreshing and pleasant coast of the Pacific Ocean and at the foot of Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills is a dream place in the minds of world-famous global rich people. As the most famous city in Los Angeles, it has the world's highest-end commercial streets, and it also gathers many luxury houses of Hollywood movie stars. It is also a holy place for the world's film industry.

Beverly Hills attracts countless tourists from all over the world to explore the streets and alleys every year. It brings together the world's top fashion brands, each store is magnificent, with exquisitely crafted marble and brass doors, and the arch-column fountains that make the street look even more imposing. Now it is the most expensive shopping center in the world.

Almost all living in this place are Hollywood film and television practitioners, and it can be said that every inch of land is valuable. He still remembers that Naomi's dream was to buy a house in Beverly Hills, but he didn't expect that she wanted to move in first.

"Assistant, what are the requirements, Wayne." Jimmy took out the notebook and carefully recorded Wayne's requirements, lamenting that sometimes the agent is really not much different from the nanny.

"It doesn't matter whether it's gender, age, race, it's better to have some understanding of this circle." He thought for a while and added: "Don't be a person, even those in the circle with high education should not. I don't like their self-righteous group."

"Hey! Hey! Wayne! I warn you, just say something to me privately, forget it, don't! Never go out and say it, do you understand? This will cause you big trouble and big trouble that affects your career." Jimmy threw away the notebook when she heard her words, raised her head and looked at the other person seriously.

"Of course, I understand, I just express my opinion to you, just you understand." Wayne of course understood that he would never say such words in front of a third person. Even if Jimmy got out of his car, he would not admit that he had said such words to the other party.
