Chapter 872： Addicted to digging

The Theory of Relativity Building is a very ordinary reception room on the office floor of Shahai Entertainment. Julian Simpson looked at the fat man shaking her hands, feeling a little depressed.

"Hello, Ms. Simpson." The fat man with slightly greasy hair introduced himself: "I am Reed Brewster from the production department of Shahai Entertainment. Welcome to Shahai Entertainment."

Julian Simpson smiled: "Hello, Mr. Brewster."

Brewster went straight to the topic: "Some time ago, someone recommended "Super Storm" to Shahai Entertainment. I read the script and wrote it well."

"Thank you." Julian Simpson responded politely.

My heart is quite disappointed. The person who received her was not Ronan Anderson, nor was it George Clint of Sandsea Entertainment, nor was it even other well-known people, but just a humble fat man.

What job is this fat guy? Director of production? Obviously not, Dingtian is also a supervisor.

Is the situation different from what was expected?

Brewster didn't pay much attention either, and said directly: "Me, on behalf of Shahai Entertainment, I will talk to you about the script buyout."

Julian Simpson frowned: "You just want to buy out the script?"

Brewster said: "If Ms. Simpson is willing to sell, Shahai Entertainment is willing to buy out all the copyrights of this script. Given that you are a member of the screenwriters' union, Shahai Entertainment is willing to invest US$25,000."

Hearing this price, Julian Simpson's face instantly became gloomy. These Hollywood companies are too arrogant, and even the reputable Shahai Entertainment is not much better.

Inspiration and creativity are so worthless?

This has almost reached the minimum transaction price for member scripts set by the screenwriters union.

"Sorry." Julian Simpson picked up his mood, quickly returned to normal, and said: "Thank you very much for the appreciation of Shahai Entertainment, but I cannot accept such a price."

Brewster only offered the lowest price, and the authorized price he got was far more than $25,000.

But he did not easily increase the price, which is not conducive to negotiations: "Ms. Simpson, you can ask for any request."

Julian Simpson understands that there is still room for discussion.

Selling the copyright of the script alone is not in her interest.

Julian Simpson tentatively said: "Mr. Brewster, "Super Storm" is not just a script in my hands, but a movie project." She took out the preliminary planning for shooting and production and placed it in Brewster. Before: "This is my preliminary plan..."

Brewster looked through it.

Julian Simpson added: "I hope to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment on the movie project "Super Storm"."

Brewster didn't look at it much, turned it over for a while, closed the plan, and asked, "Ms. Simpson wants to be the director and producer of this project?"

Julian Simpson smiled: "Yes, this is a prerequisite for cooperation."

Brewster tapped his finger lightly. This was completely inconsistent with the company's plan. The superiors told him very directly that the company bought this script temporarily to enrich the script library, and there will be no filming and production plans in the short term.

"This project, from the initial idea to the completion of the script, is done by me." Julian Simpson is also fighting for himself: "I am the person who knows "Super Storm" best. I have also served as a director and producer before. Film people..."

Brewster interrupted her: "Ms. Simpson, Shahai Entertainment can buy out your script for $30,000."

Julian Simpson took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said: "I will be the director of cooperation is a prerequisite for cooperation."

She backed down and stopped mentioning the producer.

"I'm very sorry," Brewster said directly: "Shahai Entertainment is only interested in the script of "Super Storm"."

When the talks have reached this point, it is inevitable that the talks will collapse.

Julian Simpson was quite disappointed. Brewster still left a little room, took out his business card and put it in front of Julian Simpson: "Ms. Simpson, you can think about it again when you go back. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."

Although I didn't want to receive the business card, but considering that it was a road after all, Julian Simpson put away the business card: "I hope you can also consider it. I am very sincere in cooperation."

I have made many psychological presuppositions before, but in the face of Shahai Entertainment, a leading production company in the industry, Julian Simpson still unconsciously put himself in the position of the weak.

In the end, the negotiation did not reach any results, and Julian Simpson came to the first floor of the Theory of Relativity Building and was unavoidably disappointed.

Fortunately, I did some psychological preparation before, but I didn't suffer a blow.

Stepping out of the Theory of Relativity Building, getting in the car, talking on the phone with the agent, and briefly talking about the situation, Julian Simpson started the car and prepared to leave Century City.

The phone ringing suddenly rang.

Julian Simpson turned over his phone and glanced at it. It was a strange number.

After the connection, a strange man said: "Hello, Ms. Simpson, I am the deputy director of the 20th Century Fox Film Production Department..."

As soon as the phone call was completed, Julian Simpson started the car, and it didn't even take five minutes to arrive at the Fox Building, also in Century City.

Soon, she saw the deputy director who had just called in the building.

At this time, Julian Simpson completely lost the appearance of a slight failure before, looking shrewd and capable and full of confidence.

"Shahai Entertainment is eager to cooperate with me. They are willing to invest 150 million US dollars in the project of "Superstorm"!" Twentieth Century Fox approached her for a film project. Julian Simpson retreated: "I can't think of any reason to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox?"

The deputy director received the news that Julian Simpson had just come out of Shahai Entertainment, so he confirmed the authenticity of the circulated news: "Ms. Simpson, Twentieth Century Fox is a traditional Hollywood company. The advantage is not the recent relativistic entertainment. A rising company can be compared."

With a decent smile on Julian Simpson’s face, he already had a plan in his mind. The relationship between Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox is very poor, even hostile. Hollywood people know that there must be extreme communication between the two. Big obstacles, which will cause poor information flow.

Besides, she did discuss cooperation with Shahai Entertainment.

But the specific content, 20th Century Fox should not know.

According to the relationship between relativity entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox, even if the relativity entertainment side publicly denies it, maybe Twentieth Century Fox will think that it is setting smoke bombs.

These can become the capital for her negotiation with Twentieth Century Fox.

During the initial communication, the two sides talked for a full two hours. Although no agreement was reached, there was a preliminary intention of cooperation.

Twentieth Century Fox has the success of "The Day After Acquired" and attaches great importance to climate disaster films. Moreover, Hurricane Katrina has just passed. For a long time in the future, storms will be one of the hot spots of the whole society.

The biggest difference between the two sides is still in the position of director and producer Julian Simpson.

But after checking her resume in the 20th century, Fox was not completely unacceptable, after all, she had the experience of successfully directing movies.

Investing in filming itself is an adventure. To some extent, Twentieth Century Fox is more adventurous than Ronan and Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan’s experience is special. It is purely a problem with his head that he does not make good use of it. The same is true in choosing a director. A director with sufficient resume or a director who has impressed him is the first choice.

A type like Julian Simpson must be treated with caution.

According to Ronan's vision, for a screenplay of the type "Super Storm", if you want to make a movie, you must invest heavily in production.

For a production of this scale, the director is very important.

Brewster's discussion report quickly moved to Ronan's side. Ronan just looked at it and decided to abandon the "Superstorm" script.

Buying the script alone, even if you pay tens of thousands of dollars more, with Shahai Entertainment's current strength and funds, it doesn't matter.

But the use of Julian Simpson as a director may involve hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

"Cancel." Ronan told Connie: "This batch of recommended projects focuses on "Zombieland" and "Shameless."

John Wilson and people in the Legal Department have already had preliminary contact with the British side. It is not the first time that Hollywood has reproduced a British movie and TV series. The British side has no intention of rejecting it, and hopes to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment, the only thing that can affect The only cooperation between the two parties is the copyright authorization fee.

As for "Zombie Paradise", the copyright has been in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, and related preparatory work will soon begin.

Connie responded and asked, "Where is the second blacklist plan?"

"It's in December." Ronan said: "Tell George Clint that the plan should not be run too frequently. The fastest is to send an email to participants every quarter."

Connie wrote it down, and then said: "I got a message from Endeavour Elite Brokerage about Julian Simpson."

Ronan knew that Connie could not say this for no reason: "The specific situation?"

Connie said: "Someone told us Julian Simpson and Twentieth Century Fox have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Twentieth Century Fox is very likely to invest in the filming of "Superstorm."

Ronan asked, "Twentieth Century Fox agrees to those conditions?"

"Reject Julian Simpson as a producer." Connie said: "But she can be considered as a director."

She looked at Ronan: "The news came from a producer who was close to Julian Simpson. He is currently working on the crew of "Lost". According to the news he understands, the reason why 20th Century Fox came to Julian- Simpson, it's precisely because we have taken a fancy to "Superstorm"."

Ronan couldn't help shaking his head: "20th Century Fox is addicted to our corner digging."
