Chapter 243 Fat Sheep from the East(1/2)

By the way, Quentin's appearance was so amazing that Huang Jiaojiao was so frightened that she hid behind Li Yuan. People who didn't know better thought there was a gangster mixed in here.

It's true. At present, Quentin doesn't have enough celebrity status to integrate into the mainstream circle of parties. If it weren't for Harvey Weinstein's guidance, he might not even be able to enter the door here. So he can also be with those

Little stars and models gathered together to have fun.

The entertainment industry is so realistic.

If it were next year, if Quentin won the Palme d'Or with "Pulp Fiction," he would have become a bohemian talent. No matter where Quentin goes, others will praise him.

Even Harvey Weinstein couldn't bear Quentin's little ruffian behavior: "Quentin, this Li and Lisa are investors from China. They are very interested in your "Pulp Fiction." You can

Let’s talk…”

However, Quentin looked at Li Yuan seriously, then smiled and stretched out his fist: "Man, I like that sentence of yours - I just want to defraud several thousand yuan of royalties! And that sentence

——Everyone who sits in an office should die! Fakeyu! That’s so cool! Hahaha!”

Sometimes I have to admit that a genius is a genius after all, and Quentin has amazing powers of observation and memory.

Just take a look at Quentin's later film "Kill Bill". That film is simply a hodgepodge of Stitches, with tributes to classic movie scenes and classic movie episodes everywhere.

Quentin once worked as a clerk in a video rental store. Yes! It was a store like Blockbuster. After work, their benefit was that they could watch the movies and TV series in the store for free. So Quentin read a lot of movies

, and finally embarked on the path of development in the film industry...

In other words, without amazing observation and memory, how could he remember so many things?

Of course Li Yuan knew what Quentin meant. But Harvey Weinstein and Huang Jiaojiao on the side looked confused. Could it be that this kid lost his mind again today?

To be honest, although those words are very popular in Europe and the United States, and have even become the king of cultural shirts in recent years! But in the United States, most people think that these are the words of two different Asians. And almost no one can

Recognize Li Yuan’s true identity.

That is Quentin, he can actually recognize it at a glance? But then again, the key is that Quentin is interested. Those few words are in line with Quentin's appetite. He also has the kind of character that lets himself go and defies the heaven and the earth.

"Li, aren't you Yuan? I remember you were a writer, published a best-selling book, and then went on an adventure in Africa?"

"My full name is Li Yuan. When I was writing, I used the pen name Brother Yuan. Now I'm preparing to make a movie?"

“Want to invest in a movie project?”

"Of course I want to invest in good film projects. But I am also preparing a debut film."

"You shoot it yourself? Be the director?"

"Yes! Quentin. Don't you think this is a new adventure?"

"That's right. Making movies is really cool. So I prepared six stories for "Pulp Fiction." The content is..."

"According to you, your work should have innovations in narrative structure. It belongs to... a wireless narrative structure. If it is shot well, it will be a classic; if it is shot badly, it will be a mess?"

"It's so damn right. Wireless narrative structure? I like this statement. But if it's not challenging, how can I express my talent?"

"That's true. But it just so happens that my movie is also an innovation in narrative structure. I call it - multi-line narrative structure. You happen to be here, and I want to ask you a question or two."

"No problem. What's the name of the movie?"

""Two Golden Guns." What I'm most worried about now is the first five minutes of the film. How many sets of shots should I use..."

"I think you could try this..."

"..."

Li Yuan and Quentin felt like old friends at first sight, and they chatted enthusiastically.

Because I borrowed a lot of film review content that was later summarized, I often scratched Quentin's itch. In addition, these two films became famous for a while, and they were both innovations in narrative structure, so there is a lot of common language.

.

Huang Jiaojiao and Harvey Weinstein looked at each other from the sidelines. These two lunatics were holding a conference. Why couldn’t they understand what they were saying?

"Lee, my "Pulp Fiction" is ready to participate in next year's Cannes Film Festival."

"What a coincidence, so are my "Two Smoking Barrels."

"See you then!"

"See you then! Wish you the Palme d'Or."

"Actually, your videos are also very competitive."

"Then fight for the Silver Palm! I never use my hobby to challenge other people's careers."

"That's not necessarily the case. We just want to defeat those academics. Don't you think that would be cool?"

"hehe."

"..."

Looking at Quentin's leaving back, Harvey Weinstein was dumbfounded. Should he say something in his mind?

Please! I asked you to attract investment, but what structure are you discussing here? But...?

The fat Jewish man rolled his eyes: "Li, you should know how great this project is by now, right? I can share the movie box office, but you should also show sincerity. So be it! I will give in another 05 percentage points."

"Then feel free. It's a fixed price! I want..."

After confirming that it is the "Pulp Fiction", Li Yuan no longer cares about the few percentage points. As long as the title of the film can be marked with the name "Metaverse", how much quality can it gain?

This is a good thing that money can’t buy!

In the end, both parties agreed:

Metaverse invests US$2 million and can get 6% of the North American box office share and 15% of the overseas box office share. And if it can be nominated for the top three in Europe or an Oscar, it will also pay a bonus of 200,000 US dollars. If it wins the best picture, an additional 300,000 US dollars will be paid.

bonus.

However, all copyrights in Greater China will be owned by Yuanverse Copyright Management Company in the future. This includes: theatrical release, video rental and sale, peripherals, and other derivative copyrights...

For Harvey Weinstein, box office share is box office share, as long as he makes enough money, that's no problem.

Although this slightly breaks some of Hollywood's unspoken rules, Metaverse is also a "famous film and television group in Greater China", and the benefits it provides to Hollywood insiders are barely acceptable.

Besides, in the investment plan of "Pulp Fiction", the estimated North American box office is 10 million to 12 million. Of course, it is said to be 20 million to 30 million! As for the overseas box office? If you can't win the top three in Europe or the Oscar,

Almost zero!

A new CT director actually wants to win the top three awards in Europe or an Oscar? Aren't you drunk too much?

So in that plan, winning factors were not considered at all.

It can be seen that according to the most optimistic calculation, the North American box office is 12 million, and the overseas box office is 2 million!

Generally speaking, the North American box office can be divided in half with the theaters, which is 6 million. After deducting the 20 from the announcement, the remaining is 4.8 million. The overseas box office and overseas theater lines can be calculated using 20, which is 40

Ten thousand.

The shooting cost was 8 million, and the box office profit was 5.2 million. No matter how you calculate it, it was a loss.

So how can someone do business at a loss?

That's because Hollywood's film and television peripheral industry is quite developed. Generally speaking, peripheral revenue is about the same as box office revenue. Based on this calculation, wouldn't it be possible to make a small profit of US$23 million?

In this agreement, Yuan Universe invested 2 million. The prize money for the prize is calculated separately. Everyone knows that if you can win the grand prize, even if you are nominated, it can stimulate the box office performance, and you will not suffer any loss.

Just use the above data. The Metaverse can get a share of 720,000 in the North American box office, and the overseas box office is almost negligible. It is considered to be tens of thousands of dollars! It will never exceed 800,000! Another big moneymaker-peripheral income, the Metaverse does not have

Qualified!

Since the Metaverse lost 1.2 million, Harvey Weinstein will definitely earn an extra 1.2 million. This mathematical calculation should be simple, right? All physical education teachers should have taught it.

It's nothing more than turning the hidden pit in the past into the open pit now - these are all clearly stated terms in the contract. No one can blame anyone! I, Harvey, didn't cheat you, did I?

I never thought that a Jewish man like me would one day have noble conduct!

As for all the copyrights in the Greater China region? They were originally ignored, so I might as well give them to you as a supplement. At this time, the Greater China region was not in the eyes of Hollywood at all.

To be honest, as long as they wait a few more months, when "Jurassic Park" sweeps the Hong Kong market, Hollywood will be surprised to find that there is still a multi-million dollar market here.

So they paid a little more attention to it. But it was only a little bit. They really didn’t pay that much attention. They had to wait until "Titanic" broke the box office of 100 million US dollars in the mainland? This shocked Hollywood and made them energetic.

I started to tremble...

But just a few months later, even if a fat Jew like Harvey Weinstein, who loves money as much as his life, does not exist in Greater China!



At such a party, gossip spreads very fast. Many people immediately learned that there was another Benzi fat sheep? It didn't seem to be Benzi? No matter where he came from, anyway, he was the great Kaizi from the East, and he had

A fat Jewish guy has got it!

Then what are you waiting for? Brothers, come together, if you are quick, you will be slow -!

Little did Li Yuan know that he had just caught up with this latest trend.

In recent years, Hollywood has tricked the local tycoons in books. Anyway, Americans can’t tell the difference between China and books;

After a few years, when the books were almost finished, they started to trick the wealthy people in the Middle East;

In a few years, it will be replaced by greetings from Germany;

After all those traps were finished, the tycoons from the big Eastern countries arrived so quickly...?

Anyway, local tyrants will last forever, and their deception will be passed on forever! Laughing and crying
To be continued...
