After entering late July, "The Sixth Sense" began to fall off the show. Looking at the jaw-dropping number, many people realized that this year's North American box office champion had already been acquainted in advance.

In Burbank's office, Harvey Weinstein was looking at the latest report. Even though the air conditioning in the room was full of air conditioning, sweat was still flowing down.

I just believed in a smart and weird boy and optimistic about the story he created. The $20 million investment actually brought back a box office of more than $290 million. You should know that this is just the box office in North America. With the opening of the Eastern European market, overseas box office has already surpassed the box office in North America. So what kind of profit will this movie get?

Even though the share of the theater chain exceeds 50% of the box office, the tax bureau will still be slaughtered, the net profit of this movie still exceeds US$70 million. Even the seven major film companies have only a little more profit in the box office year than this number.

In particular, with the help of this movie, Miramax established his own position in Hollywood, and many independent producers came to seek investment.

Harvey Weinstein wiped off the sweat from his forehead, took out two checks that had been prepared long ago, and smiled bitterly on his face. According to Hollywood convention, after the movie was sold, the producers would give red envelopes to the crew, and the amount would depend on the position in the crew.

As long as he remembered the red envelopes that had been distributed to the siblings and looked at the numbers on the checks in his hand, he couldn't stop feeling aching. Who would have thought that in order to save expenses, the seemingly scattered share clause signed was actually a reality.

Well, that boy is a gold mine. The $8 million spent for them was considered an early investment. He had heard that Disney's Touchstone Films is in contact with his agent, and Nicole Kidman holds another script created by the other party.

Although the boy had only one script that had succeeded so far, Harvey Weinstein believed in his vision, just as he believed that "The Sixth Sense" would make money. He was very sure that this success was not accidental. If possible, he really wanted to buy all the adaptation rights of Ryan Jenkins' works. These are just like the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" he just bought, and will gain huge benefits in the near future.

Similarly, he knew that it was almost impossible. Not to mention his beautiful guardian who was good at dancing and his cunning agent, he was only ten years old and was difficult to deal with. He had known him for more than one year and was taken to the ditch by him during conversations.

He even had some doubts that when he first met him, the little guy dug a hole and waited for him to jump down.

Of course, he had no regrets or complaints, after all, this huge profit was real.

It is said that Touchstone Pictures has reached a preliminary agreement with him, so I have to hurry up and not let the script in Nicole Kidman fall into their hands again.

"Mr. Weinstein, Ms. Kingsley, Miss Nicole Kidman and Mr. Ryan Jenkins are here." The Secretary's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Let them come in."

Ryan followed Nicole into the office and looked around. The office was very simple to specialize in. Just like the rumors, the Weinstein brothers were not only stingy to the outside world, but also stingy to themselves.

Both parties are acquaintances and don’t have so many politeness. After saying hello, the secretary and the lady quickly got to the point after serving coffee and juice.

"Congratulations yet, Harvey." After Nicole and the others' conversation came to an end, Ryan said with a smile, "The North American box office of $290 million should be ranked first in film history. Unfortunately, if the period can be extended for a longer period, it may be possible to exceed $300 million."

"Congratulations, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein handed Nicole two checks of $2.9 million. "Jurassic Park is also the champion of the bestseller list in the United States. Both Harry Potters have entered the top 20 again. Not to mention your age, even Stephen King has never done this."

"Come on, Harvey, you don't know that this is all about reading books of all ages. Haven't you heard those book reviewers say that if it weren't for the noisy children, there would be no few of these books."

After Ryan finished speaking, he snatched the check from Nicole mischievously and looked at the numbers on it. There was not a pile of green bills that made people feel exciting.

After Nicole nodded, Ryan stuffed the check to Jinslie, and said proudly, "Pate, didn't expect it."

Pai Jinsli could only roll her eyes helplessly. She really didn't expect that the contract that did not reduce her income, but increased a lot. You should know that 10% of the money in these two checks belonged to her.

After chatting for a few more words, he simply hid out and asked Harvey's assistant to visit the company. Ryan knew that Nicole and the others were likely to talk about "Sleeping in Seattle", but they didn't want to get involved too much.

He was not willing to interfere with Nicole's affairs like Tom Cruise in his previous life, which caused conflicts between the two.

In the end, I don’t know what conditions Harvey Weinstein offered, and Nicole agreed to cooperate with Miramax, but judging from her expression, the conditions should be pretty good.

"A four million dollar pay, plus a 1.5% North American box office share." This was what Jinsley told him after getting on the car, "Harvey drove a hundred thousand dollars for your script."

Ryan shrugged and said nothing. In fact, $100,000 is not a small amount for him who only has one script to sell. He believes that after the scripts he provides are sold one after another, he can rely on his screenwriter to ask for box office or even the surrounding share.

In negotiations with Touchstone Pictures, when the box office of "The Sixth Sense" exceeded 250 million, the two sides reached an agreement. It has to be said that Jinsley was so famous in her previous life that she was indeed very skilled, and she won him a $3 million salary and two percent of the North American box office share. Of course, this is all the compensation for the actors and screenwriters.

The movie has entered the preparation period and may start the filming at the beginning of next month. It is said that it will go to northern Canada to film. Ryan breathed a sigh of relief after learning the news. Otherwise, although he could create a Christmas snow scene in the studio, if he wears the thick winter clothes, he must have a prickly heat.

This kind of filming is not complicated. Chris Columbus once said that as long as Ryan can be halfway through "The Sixth Sense", he promises that he will end his outdoor scene in Canada in less than a month.

Fortunately, the summer vacation is still long, otherwise it would be a problem to just ask for a long vacation from the school.

The car did not return to Ximu District, but entered Beverly Hills directly. In the afternoon, they made an appointment with a real estate agent to see several independent villas in his hands.

The terrifying high box office of "The Sixth Sense" made many media focus their attention on Ryan again. The paparazzi downstairs became more and more active, which not only affected their lives, but also caused a lot of trouble to the surrounding neighbors. Nicole simply commissioned Jinsley to find a suitable property.

There are many areas for celebrities and wealthy people living in Greater Los Angeles, such as Malibu, Santa Monica, and the Brunckett neighborhood in the downtown area. However, Ryan didn't know why, Nicole had a special liking for Beverly Hills and said that the villa must be located in Beverly Hills.

Well, Beverly Hills is actually quite good, even close to Hollywood, and there are many celebrities living here. After seeing a few villas, Ryan comforted himself in this way.

"Miss Kidman, what do you think of here?"

Although Cones Miller, who leads the way, is a real estate agent who only serves the rich. While being eloquent, he also maintains the necessary respect and etiquette. "This French villa, including the garden, covers a total area of ​​2.4 acres, with an outdoor tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool, and a four-car garage. It is the masterpiece of the famous villa designer Paul Cosnie."

In his previous life, there was only a small nest of less than 30 square meters, which was rented. He spent most of his life in the welfare home. Even after being adopted by Nicole, he never came to consider life. Ryan was completely an amateur in choosing a house, so he simply held Nicole's hand and just looked at it and didn't say it.

Walking into the empty villa, the real estate agent continued, "The villa has two floors, a total of seven bedrooms, three cloakrooms, five large storage rooms, an indoor swimming pool and gym, and a small terrace on the top."

After walking around inside and out, this villa is much bigger than the place I lived in London. From the details, it can be seen that the design is indeed unique. Even if there is no furniture and it looks a bit empty, Ryan could clearly feel that Nicole was satisfied.

"Ryan, what do you think about here?" Nicole asked for his opinion. Ryan believed that as long as he shook his head, Nicole would definitely turn around and leave without even thinking about it.

"Do we have that much money in such a big place?" Ryan lived in a country with the most terrifying housing prices in his previous life. In this life, he had no idea about the housing prices in the United States. Seeing this luxurious villa, he naturally felt a little upset.

"Dear, what you should ask is if I have that much money!" Nicole smiled laughed.

"Okay, this place is pretty good, as long as the price is right."

Next, in the conversation between Nicole and the real estate agent, Ryan finally realized that compared to his and Nicole's income, this villa is really not expensive, not to mention that he can apply for a loan, and the purchase of houses in the United States has no service life. Although a tax is paid every year, it is more suitable than a long-term lease of seventy years.

"Nicole, when will we move?" Ryan asked before leaving.

"Moving?" Nicole shook her head and said with a smile, "It will take a long time for the house to be renovated, and we will also have to buy furniture."
