I gave 30 million US dollars of cash to the lawyer, and I found some reasons to sue the other party until the other party went bankrupt? Is this a lunatic?

Everyone felt absurd when they heard what the executive said. If they did, it would definitely work. This simple and crude method has always been popular among North American rich people.

As long as I am richer than you, I will find a reason to sue you constantly, and will delay you until you lose everything and cannot afford to sue. There are some such mixed-ball lawyer groups on Wall Street.

"Okay, gentlemen!" ceo Kevin Trasuha gently tapped the table, clicked the information with her hands and said, "Don't worry about the director's private life. We want to discuss how likely this project plan is to succeed!"

"There is a situation that you should pay attention!" Jeff Robinoff, the director of the film and television production department, took the lead in speaking. "It's not counting "Happy Day of Death" and "Escape from the Death Town", my people have also found out about other situations from the Screenwriters Association.

Wayne Greenberg also filed a script called "joket" and a brief framework for the script called "W" at the Screenwriter Association. Then my guy found a surprise in a magazine released by Random House a few months ago.

There are three short stories with the pen name Wayne published on it, and it was found that he submitted them through his mother's channel. Although this does not mean anything, it at least proves that this director has a complete career plan and is not a newcomer who is full of luck and has a flash in the pan."

This is Hollywood, a highly commercial world film center, where film companies also have a highly programmatic assessment mechanism for actors and directors.

The most intuitive thing about evaluating directors is the three data of the works released in the past three to five years.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it doesn't matter how many years a director has been, the most important thing is the achievements of the last three movies. As long as the films he recently screened in the theater have a single-screen box office of more than 10,000 yuan, then he is a first-line director of the film company.

Wayne, who only has one film, is not in this rank, so Warner has to analyze him to see if he is the kind of character who has stepped on the bad luck and then disappeared.

At least Jeff's words gave everyone a signal, this is not the kind of brainless lucky person.

Generally speaking, Hollywood Films, like other North American commercial companies, speak with data and results.

"His agent Jimmy has started negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox. Is it a bit late for us to intervene now?" Vincent, deputy general manager of the issuance department, reminded everyone.

"That's why I took out the project today!" Jeff Robinoff said calmly and looked confident. "I have the exact news that his agents Jimmy and Twentieth Century Fox have reached a deadlock in the negotiations. This is the best opportunity for us to intervene."

The executive vice president sitting at the end of the table suddenly said: "Jeff, don't forget that he only has one work, and such a director's stability is worth worrying."

"Yes, he only has one movie, but the box office of that movie is almost 110 million yuan worldwide." Without Jeff's words, Ralph, who is also a film and television production department, had already spoken out first. "No language has no commercial achievements or strong data. This is the rule of Hollywood!"

"Dang, dang." Everyone looked at Kevin Trasuha who tapped the table with his middle finger. Seeing everyone quiet, he said in a calm voice: "

Our "Batman 2 Return of Bat" has just been filmed, and a lot of money has been invested. This is our top project, and no plan for any video can affect it.

There are also "The Sky Cannon 3" and "The Sky Dragon" that have invested heavily have not been completed, and we lack sufficient cash flow. However, the director's film is not invested in high prices and has a good prospect.

The differences between his negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox were mainly focused on post-production rights and the film’s North American box office share. We can give them what Fox was unwilling to give or cannot give them to him!”

When everyone heard Ceo's words, they thought. Yes, the director's request, with Warner's situation, could completely satisfy him. As long as his films were successful, Warner would still generate a large amount of revenue.

"And I have another idea." Kevin looked at everyone thinking, and a calm voice came out of him. "We Warner Bros. do not have a director who works closely together. If Wayne Greenberg can still maintain success this time, then his potential in business is immeasurable.

Jeff mentioned that his script filing will definitely become a hot item for all companies. We can discuss an incentive ladder share contract with him, but the premise is that we must sign a priority investment right for subsequent projects with us.

If his box office success in "Escape from the Deadly Town" will be divided into steps and tie him to Warner. If the market is not ideal, throw him away!!!”

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Kevin Trasuha finally said: "Jeff, contact his agent, give him what he wants, sign with that director as soon as possible, and be sure to wait before Twentieth Century Fox reacts."

"No problem, boss!"

At this time, in Wayne's apartment, Naomi was packing clothes with him. He was working on the box with tape. He was working on it himself, and there were some diaries he had written before. Although there were no one who knew Chinese pinyin here, he had to be cautious.

He didn't have much clothes, but he didn't have a suitcase full. He only brought a few items he often wore. His clothes were only a few black suits in just a few black suits. In addition to a box of information he had sealed himself, there were also two boxes of videotapes he collected himself.

From high school to the first three years of college, he had to watch movies almost every day, and some of them had to be watched repeatedly in boringly, as a learning method of shooting and concepts.

"Bang! Wayne!"

Jimmy suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in, pressing his shoulder and shook it hard twice. "Good news, someone is willing to give you all the conditions you want!"

"Hey, Jimmy!" He broke away from Jimmy's hand, pulled him down and sat down before suppressing the surprise and asked him: "Twentieth Century Fox agrees? Are they very tough? Why did they suddenly change their minds?"

"Fox?no! It has nothing to do with Fox. I deliberately spread the news that the negotiations with Fox are deadlocked!" He said that he cracked his mouth and smiled and took the coffee poured by Naomi. "Thank you, Ms. Watts."

"And what, Jimmy, then?" Before Wayne could speak, Naomi couldn't wait to ask him. "Is there any other company willing to invest and they are willing to start negotiations with us?"

"Of course, just before I came, I received a call from Jeff Robinoff, director of the film and television production department of Warner Bros., who asked us to go to Burbank tomorrow and talk to their company.

He said it clearly on the phone that he could give you the treatment you want, but we need to discuss the specific terms, and he hopes that you can meet him in person, and he needs to understand your ideas."

"Beautiful job, Jimmy!" Wayne was not stingy with compliments at this time, and kept saying good things. "I knew you could do it! You are the best agent!"

"Of course, of course! Wayne! It's not that you are working hard on yourself, I have to keep up with you." Jimmy looked at him sincerely.

Seeing Jimmy's expression, regardless of how real it was, Wayne also knew what he wanted. He was afraid that he would succeed too quickly, so he got rid of him and signed a big agent directly. After all, Jimmy's connections cannot be compared with those famous agents.

"Don't worry, Jimmy, you are the most suitable agent for me. I promise you that as long as you don't make principled mistakes, I will never fire you! Before the project starts to be officially filmed, I will go to caa with you and renew my economic contract."

"Okay, I'll feel at ease. I will provide you with the best service. You are my most important client and I will guarantee that it will be. My subsequent work will only revolve around you. Yes, I am the best broker for you."

Jimmy got the promise he wanted. It was really too low for a star or director to fire an agent, and it could even be ignored.

Wayne never thought of kicking Jimmy out. As he said, this is the most suitable agent for him now, no one. Compared to those big-name agents, although he has no connections, he has his own trust, and trust is difficult to quickly establish for strangers.

"Hi, gentlemen, the matter is done. What's going to be the issue of moving tomorrow?" Naomi saw that they had finished talking about the main things, and then pointed to a few boxes and asked.

"I'll go to Warner tomorrow." Looking at the boxes, he thought. "Nami, you and Nina help me move over. Just take these boxes. By the way, Nami, on the second floor of the manor, you can choose a room, your room."

"oh my god! Really?" Naomi covered her mouth excitedly. "Wayne, you know, my dream is to live in Beverly Hills. Dear, I am so moved!"

"Stop, don't get me wrong, Nami!" Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, he quickly continued with a straight face: "Listen, you can go and choose a room. This is what I promised you a long time ago. I won't arrange for others to move in in the future, but that doesn't mean you are the hostess of the manor!"

Naomi was stunned and suddenly reacted, yes, they had talked about this issue and they ignored it themselves.

"No problem, it's great. I decided that I'll move in early, Wayne, can it?"

"As far as you want, you know I don't hate you at all. The only request is, don't think about it!" Wayne breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she understood.

His career is just starting out and he never wants to manage a relationship. This will involve a lot of his energy. Even if he admires Naomi very much, he himself does not allow him to indulge in emotional games.

"Then we meet Burbank at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Pay attention to Wayne. I'll go back and prepare first. I'm going to work overtime tonight. You should give me a bonus, Director Greenberg!"

Jimmy opened the apartment door with an exaggerated expression, nodded like Naomi, and walked out.
