American Comics: I asked you to fish, and you fished for the super template?

"Mr. Luo, it's finally time to see you."

Catherine sat down in the director's chair, and after happily spreading out her papers, she greeted Xu Fu cordially.

"Hello, Miss Kennedy," Xu Fu replied casually and gracefully, "it is an honor for our studio to work with you at Universal Pictures. "

"Mr. Yong, time is limited, so I'll get straight to the point. First of all, as far as I know, you and Tom. Calvin's Inception and 2012 are very good films, and all of the film projects you propose are very engaging. Secondly, personally, I am very bullish on the Turning Point project. "

Catherine's professional smile is kind and high-pitched.

She continued, "Right now, the production of the film seems to be going relatively well, and we may release it earlier. So there's a box office share issue, and we'll have to talk about that. "

Xu Fu opened his laptop and prepared to start calculating and recording data. At the same time, Catherine provided Xu Fu with her distribution plan at a very fast pace.

"The world box office of this film, I estimate it will be more than $200 million, but not more than $250 million. Considering the $50 million cost, not including advertising expenses, we don't have that much profit. Catherine said. Universal will give Titan Pictures a base income, which is a fixed $12 million. The script was polished by you and you participated in the production of Electric 23 Films. "

Catherine added: "This is what I fought for you, and if you do what Vice President Black wants, you may only get $8 million." "

"Twelve million dollars..."Xu Fu completely wrote down the allocation that Catherine gave him, and at the same time, after careful consideration, this amount was indeed not small.

Xu Fu is just one of the producers, and his small studio is also a distributor of Universal Pictures. Universal spares no expense in providing a variety of resources during the film's production. Undoubtedly, it is their credit. The distribution of profits, usually for small studios, is only at the mercy of big studios.

After careful consideration, Xu Fu made a bold decision.

"I gave up the basic returns. Let's recalculate the box office".

Hearing Xu Fu's words, the four bigwigs, as well as the secretaries and assistants present, all fell into a frenzy. Only Catherine's face remained unchanged, calmly pondering.

"I'm sure the coup will be a big hit at the box office." Xu Fu looked at the computer screen and said, "Excluding distribution costs and expenses, if the total box office profit of the film is less than $100 million, our studio will only get $500,000 in fees." However, if the total box office profit exceeds $100 million, my company, Titan Pictures, can get 25% of the portion that exceeds $100 million. "

"Interesting choice." Catherine looked at Xu Fu with interest, "Are you sure?" You only get $500,000 instead of the $12 million I allocated you. She tapped on her folder.

What a good way to get rich, the words have been spoken, and Xu Fu is not ready to regret it.

"Of course, I'm sure. If you agree, Miss Kennedy, we can sign the agreement now. Xu Fu smiled.

"The people I usually deal with, the best filmmakers in the business, are younger, in their 40s. And those who are older, like Ridley Scott, he is in his 70s. And this is the first time I've sat at a table with a young man like you and discussed box office. "

But Xu Fu deliberately grew a beard today, and his hair was pulled up, and he looked at least four or five years older than usual.

"I admire you, kid."

Catherine propped her chin on her hand and smiled approvingly at Xu Fu. She then instructed her assistant to prepare a contract agreement while spitting out two or three affectionate words to replace the objections of a big man at Universal Pictures.

Soon, Xu Fu had already signed a contract agreement with the bigwigs of Universal Pictures on behalf of his studio.

Obviously, this is a game for Xu Fu: either he loses everything, or he makes a fortune. In addition, Xu Fu not only has to wait for the film to be made, he must also make connections and find any Hollywood sources outside of Universal to raise public expectations for the film.

When I first arrived in Los Angeles, I was very busy, and Xu Fu had to pick up and complete many things.

At the same time, at the residence, forced to fight Miss Emma Frost, Xu Fu is also soulless.

Behind his busy work, he hasn't forgotten his sister, whom he has never met.

And when Xu Fu used the cell phone his mother Dana gave him to contact Caroline, she did not answer, the text messages were not answered, and the phone was not answered, as if the number had not been used.

The weekend after the negotiations, Katherine Kennedy invited Xu Fu to a party, a typical everyday celebration in Hollywood. Kennedy invited Xu Fu to a party, a typical everyday celebration in Hollywood.

And the host of this holiday party is Harvey Weinstein. One of Weinstein's top producers in Hollywood (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!) ）

Harvey Weinstein's fame in the world is over, but there is also a lot of verbal criticism. He molested teenage girls and actresses probably countless. (In the past 17 years, Hollywood has exploded all kinds of rampant stories, and the trees have fallen and scattered). His image has completely collapsed).

Weinstein's holiday reception was naturally a good opportunity for Xu Fu to meet with Hollywood bigwigs, to reach out to the upper echelons of society, and to get some resources that would help promote the film.

Although he doesn't like such occasions, he should come out now~.

Kathleen Kennedy. Kennedy said the same thing to Xu Fu, hoping that he would better bring a female companion. "You are the CEO of an emerging film company and a partner at Universal. is not an ordinary female star. "

The first time I came to the City of Angels, where did I find a female companion?

... The day before dinner, at Xu Fu's apartment on Gower Street.

Xu Fu sat on the sofa in his apartment room, rummaging through his laptop, thinking...

He looked at Emma Frost, who was working out on the yoga mat. Frost, she wears a tight-fitting gray tracksuit with her legs raised high. She paid attention to her figure very much, kept exercising, and even persuaded Xu Fu to go to the gym with her and get a card.

Oops, Catherine forced herself to find a companion... Is it only Emma Frost asking for a temporary companion? Frost as a temporary companion?

"Emma, let me ask you something."

Xu Fu turned off the noisy TV and turned his head to look at Emma, the White Queen.

"I'm waiting for you to ask me," Emma laughed, "You're 717 and don't you have something for me to do?" "

Emma stood up and looked at Xu Fu, "Harvey Weinstein's party is tomorrow. Weinstein's party is tomorrow and you're still procrastinating? "

He looked at the White Queen in surprise, and the expression on his face seemed to say, "How do you know?"

"The day before yesterday, you and Kathryn. I was at the next table while you and Kennedy were eating, but I'm surprised you didn't notice me. "

She looked at herself boredly

"Then come with me to lunch tomorrow." He firmly advised Emma to go with him.

Emma accepted Xu Fu's tone and said. "Then come with me to lunch tomorrow," she looked at Xu Fu in disgust, "as if I owe you something." "

"If you don't want to go, I can find someone else." Xu Fu knew that Emma had a lot of free time, and he knew from the tone in her voice that she must be curious about how the party would go.

"I can go with you, but first you have to go with me to pick out a beautiful dress."

"Okay, okay..." Xu Fu agreed, covering his forehead.

Picking out a dress takes at least the whole afternoon. But fortunately, Emma no longer knows where to make a lot of money, and Xu Fu doesn't have to worry about money to buy expensive clothes.

"Also, if you go to a party, there will be a lot of media reporters there. Aren't you afraid of being exposed? Emma. The Reform and Opening-up Association should be looking for you. "

"They won't look for me, they don't need me anymore." Emma replied coldly, "And don't worry, I will change my appearance, they will never recognize me." "。
