Chapter 457 Cooperation reached

To be honest, Jon Landao didn't really believe that Boss Jia could take over this investment, but he had searched all the investors he could find, but none of them succeeded at once. Now he could only give it a try and ask Director Chen to ask Boss Jia over.

"Mr. Jia, thank you for your hard work!" Jon Landao smiled.

"It's okay. I'm just staying in the hotel to watch movies. I'm just idle and I'm here!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"It turns out that I came here because I was idle and had nothing to do..." Jon Landao felt distressed. It seemed that this Chinese was not worth counting on. However, since the person was here, Jon Landao still had to ask.

"Since Mr. Jia already knows the situation of this movie, why don't you know if Mr. Jia is willing to invest in the Titanic?"

"The main thing depends on how much money you need to invest!" Boss Jia smiled.

"This... the investment may be very large!" Jon Landao sighed, and Director Chen Da was watching Boss Jia nervously.

I just hope that Boss Jia will not refuse too ugly, so that he will completely lose face, not only will he lose others, but also offend others. If he offended the senior executives of 20th Century Fox, it might affect the final selection results of the Oscars.

So Director Chen was so anxious, hoping that Boss Jia would refuse more tactfully. He had never considered what Boss Jia would agree to invest. After all, this script seemed too crappy. If it were Director Chen, he would never dare to shoot this script.

"It's okay, just say that it's just money!" Boss Jia smiled boldly, and Jon Landao sighed again, feeling that this guy is just like Director Chen Da, who is a guy with no tone.

"If we hope Mr. Jia will invest 35 million US dollars, I wonder if Mr. Jia is willing?" Jon Landao finally gave a limit number.

He felt that if 20th Century Fox tried his best, he should be able to get 100 million US dollars in the end, and 35 million US dollars was the lowest number for foreign investment. He had tried his best to minimize this number.

"No!" Boss Jia shook his head very simply, which made Director Chen feel cold. This rejection was too stiff. But thinking about it, it was at least 35 million US dollars. If it was exchanged for RMB 175 million!

If you lose money to invest in movies, if you lose money, you will lose all your money.

However, Jon Landao was prepared for a long time, and he didn't expect Jia Yapeng to really agree.

As a result, the next second, I heard Boss Jia say, "35 million is a little less, it's boring, add a little more!"

"Clam..." Director Chen called out directly. Jon Landao on the side was also extremely surprised. He doubted whether the guy in front of him was a liar. He actually agreed to be so straightforward, and he even thought that the number was too small.

"That 50 million?" Jon Landau asked tentatively.

"I think this is better. Let's change it. I will pay 100 million US dollars, and your company will pay 35 million?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Mr. Jia! Are you kidding?" Jon Landao stood up suddenly and stared at Boss Jia with bright eyes.

"Do you think I'm a joke?" Boss Jia laughed. "What, do you think Fox has paid less money? If that's the case, we can continue talking, otherwise what if only half of each person?"

"That... I think our company's 35 million is enough!" Jon Landao said quickly when he heard this.

What a joke, this movie project that is destined to be compensated, of course, the less money you pay, the better. Who would want to pay more? Jon Landao even wanted to transfer the movie project to Boss Jia directly.

"But Mr. Jia, you see, this is also a big project. We will go on a regular basis and need to check the funds first. Look..." Jon Landao said tactfully.

"It seems that Mr. Landao doesn't believe I have so much money!" Boss Jia laughed. "Actually, I have met you guys at Fox a few times before, but it's a pity that there was no cooperation at that time."

"What?" Jon Landao was stunned for a moment. He didn't remember when the company had met Jia Yapeng.

"Oh, I'm not talking about your Fox movies, but Fox TV. A week ago, Fox TV and I almost reached a cooperation agreement and sold the exclusive broadcast rights of its Pokemon animation to your TV station. But unfortunately, due to some special reasons, this cooperation failed!" Boss Jia smiled.

That’s right, 20th Century Fox, like Fox TV, is both a Murdoch-owned industry.

"You are Mr. Jia, the chairman of Pokemon!!" Jon Landao stood up suddenly, his attitude was so fierce that he was shocked by Boss Jia.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem with my identity?" asked Boss Jia.

"No, no problem. Since your company is a Pokémon production company, you must have no problem with your funds. Now the whole United States knows that Pokémon has sold 8 million copies, and you have made at least 200 million US dollars. Of course you can afford this 100 million US dollars investment!" Jon Landao said excitedly.

"That's good! That's good!" Looking at Jon's overly excited expression, Boss Jia was also a little confused. Isn't it just a Pokémon? As for making the other party excited to this extent?

"Mr. Jia, I wonder if you are interested in shooting animated movies in the Pokemon series?" Jon Landau asked impatiently. 20th Century Fox was attracted by the copyright of the Pokemon series.

Director Chen Da, who was on the other side, couldn't get into the conversation at all. He didn't even know what Pokemon was, and he seemed to have become a transparent person.

After some close communication, Jon Landau reported to the board of directors.

On the second day, Boss Jia finally reached a cooperation agreement with 20th Century Fox.

The Titanic was jointly invested by Jia Yapeng and 20th Century Fox, of which 20th Century Fox invested 35 million US dollars and Boss Jia invested 100 million US dollars. In addition to the fixed share of the director, all the remaining box office profits will be 35% for 20th Century Fox and Boss Jia will receive 65%.

Judging from the proportion of investment, Boss Jia is obviously at a disadvantage. After all, according to the proportion of investment, Boss Jia should receive 77% of the profit.

However, 20th Century Fox also has to undertake the task of producing the film, and the specific work of filming is also under the responsibility of 20th Century Fox.

Although Boss Jia pays a lot of money, he doesn't care about the specific matters and is only responsible for paying the money. Naturally, it is impossible to make profits according to the investment ratio.

However, because American law does not allow individuals to invest in movies, it must be in the form of a company, Boss Jia then established Daqian Film Entertainment Company in the United States and participated in this cooperation as Daqian Entertainment.

It is worth mentioning that the night before the two parties signed the contract, Director Chen came to visit Boss Jia specifically.

This guy is very interesting. He actually suggested that he could serve as the director of the Titanic and replace Cameron. The reason is very simple. Boss Jia paid more money, so he should naturally use his own people who are more trustworthy as the director. Director Chen will be the director who will win the Oscars immediately. Using him is naturally the best choice.

When Boss Jia heard this request, he almost used a stick to play Director Chen. If the movie was really replaced by a big director, he would probably have accompanied him to his grandma's house. No one can direct this movie except Cameron.

So Boss Jia refused directly, saying that according to the contract, he was only responsible for paying money and not interfering with the specific filming of the movie. He said that it was not the case if Director Chen really wanted to make this movie, he would go to 20th Century Fox to discuss it.

As a result, not long after, Jon Landao actually called, and Director Chen actually talked to him about the film director. Jon Landao asked with a dark face, was it Jia Yapeng's request to change directors?

Boss Jia was angry and annoyed about this, and then firmly stated that this had nothing to do with him. Director Chen Da was not suitable to be the director of this film, and there were only Cameron.

Director Chen was only depressed by himself.
