Capítulo 21: Transaction Negotiations for the Follow-up Copyright of Chainsaw Cry
Kevin smiled and shook his head:
"Let's talk about it after Chainsaw's release. I'll be better able to carry out my new project then."
Jeff Robinoff nodded and didn't force it. Based on his relationship with CAA President Ovitz, as long as the price offered by Warner Bros. was right, Kevin had no reason to choose other film companies.
In terms of Warner Bros.'s status in Hollywood, there are too few forces that can be compared with them, too few.
Fair competition, they are not afraid of anyone.
"Kevin, have fun, I have something to do with Ovitz, so I won't delay you having a good time here."
Speaking of which, Jeff Robinoff casts ambiguous glances at Kevin and Angelina Jolie
Then left with Ovitz.
"Kevin, you are amazing."
As soon as the two left, Angelina Jolie said excitedly.
Kevin spoke with these big people, and did not fall behind at all, which made Angelina Jolie watch with excitement.
In addition to admiration, the eyes that looked at Kevin were more emotional.
Facing this look, Kevin couldn't bear it any longer. He and Julie left the party ahead of schedule and headed towards the hotel where Kevin was staying.
As soon as she entered the room, Angelina Jolie couldn't wait to throw Kevin on the bed, and then...
...
The next day, the October sun shone on the two of them with warm heat.
Wake Kevin and Julie from their sleep.
"Honey, go and pull the window."
Hearing Kevin's order, Julie got up obediently, exposed her body in front of him, and then walked to the window and pulled the curtains directly.
Then, in Kevin's greeting, he lay down in his arms again.
Kevin was about to exercise with Julie in the morning when he heard the phone ringing, answered the phone, and heard the voice of his agent Dawson on the other end.
"Kevin, Shay, president of New Line Cinema, wants to talk to you about the copyright of Chainsaw."
Kevin was suddenly shocked, and the big fish came.
The copyright of Chainsaw was when he made a fortune, and the split was worth a few dollars (millions of dollars).
"No problem, Dawson, come here too, and get me a legal counsel."
"Okay, there are many lawyers in our CAA, I'll find one."
"OK, see you at New Line Cinema at 2:30 in the afternoon."
After Kevin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, his face hard to hide his excitement.
"Kevin, what's wrong?"
Julie looked at Kevin so happy and couldn't help asking.
It's not a secret either, Kevin didn't plan to hide it from anyone, and said directly:
"The follow-up copyright of Chainsaw is in my hands, and New Line Films wants to buy all of them directly."
"I estimate at least $20 million."
This is the bottom line in Kevin's mind. There is no problem with the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw, which is worth one or two billion dollars.
But if you want to make this money, you must have enough background in Hollywood to be able to digest it.
In Hollywood, there are only a dozen or so film companies that have this strength, and they have their own internal common rules.
It is impossible to pay too high a price for this copyright.
$20 million to $30 million is their limit, and the only person who can pay the most for the rights is New Line Cinema.
In fact, Kevin did not intend to sell to anyone else.
Twenty million dollars?
Angelina Jolie was shocked.
The per capita monthly income of Americans is about 3,000 US dollars, and from the perspective of Americans' habit of spending in advance, the vast majority of people may not even be able to pull out a thousand dollars in cash.
It's almost the same for a lower-middle-class model like her.
Twenty million dollars is money she can't make in ten, no, one hundred, lifetimes.
At this time, Angelina Jolie suddenly had the idea of becoming Kevin's wife. Thanks to the legal provisions of the United States, once the two get married, all of Kevin's income will be counted as the joint income of the two. .
In this way, Angelina Jolie can instantly become the wife of a multi-millionaire.
The idea is so tempting.
Think and act.
"Kevin~~~"
"?"
Kevin looked at Julie for unknown reasons, and saw that she had turned over again, trying to take the initiative.
This made Kevin sigh that being young means good health, and then he fought against Julie again.
It's still early in the afternoon, and he can get up to eat after another round...
.....
Sitting in a high-end Chinese restaurant, Kevin ordered a few dishes, and after ordering someone to deliver some good dishes to the hotel, he ate slowly.
Chinese food has never been a common meal for the underclass in the United States.
different from China.
Thanks to the development of aquaculture, or the use of drugs.
American meat is much cheaper than greens.
And Huaguo's mode of matching meat and vegetables obviously uses a lot of vegetables that are not cheap, which also makes Chinese food not cheap.
This meal, more than two hundred dollars, is obviously not affordable for ordinary working class.
But for the current Kevin, this is naturally not an expensive consumption.
After eating, Kevin took a taxi to the New Line Film Company.
...
New Line Cinema.
Inside the President's Office.
Shay was furious at Dean.
"How can you cede the follow-up rights to Kevin? Is that how you are the selection manager of New Line Cinema?"
"Stupid, fool..."
A series of abusive words spewed out.
This is a typical remark in the workplace. Before Kevin did not succeed, the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw was not worth mentioning. With Kevin's insistence and even only taking a share, Dean let go of the follow-up. The copyright is actually a very normal decision.
If it wasn't for Chainsaw's hugely unexpected success, Dean's operation would have been fine.
Of course, since Chainsaw has achieved this kind of success, it has invisibly reduced Dean's credit for it.
Xie Yi's scolding was somewhat suppressed.
Dean is naturally very aggrieved, but in his early thirties, he is in the position of a film company executive of this level, so it is obviously impossible for him to resign because of a scolding.
Therefore, he is also honestly scolded next to this meal.
After a scolding, Shay continued:
"Wait for the negotiation with Kevin about the follow-up income of Chainsaw. You go to talk first. After talking about a certain level, I will come forward."
"Yes!"
....
Coming to New Line Cinema again, Kevin had a completely different experience.
