You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 190 The White Wolf with Empty Gloves (Second update)

"no!"

Harvey, of course, couldn't agree, and he was equally categorical.

They don't understand the story of the master who taught his disciples to starve to death, but they have reaped all the dividends of technological leadership over the years. If they teach these Chinese people, they will have no advantage in the future. How can they carry out global harvesting?
"We can take 10% less dividends!"

Su Tan revealed his bargaining chips.

The conference room fell silent again.

Harvey looked at Li Mingyue who was standing aside. He knew that Li Mingyue was the boss of Xihong Film and Television.

Li Mingyue was also a little confused.

It's not that she's reluctant to part with the 10% dividend, she's just wondering, if her team learns top-notch special effects, will it hinder subsequent money-losing plans?

As for the amount of dividends from this project, it has nothing to do with her, because she used a guaranteed card for this settlement document. In other words, this settlement was calculated based on 30 billion, and the final profit and loss did not depend on this. The project will give dividends to Xihong Film and Television.

"it is good!"

"I agree!"

After some hesitation, Harvey agreed.

In the face of absolute interests, nothing is unacceptable.

Although teaching these Chinese people will make subsequent harvesting difficult, their technological leadership is not limited to special effects.

Moreover, they have already made money, and he doesn't care about the life and death of other people in Hollywood!

[Project: Three-body movie series]

[Investment: 30 billion]

[Profit conversion ratio 100:1, loss conversion ratio 1:10]

[Settlement time: works to be released]

【Income: 0】

【Rebate: 0】

At the same time as the contract was signed, Li Mingyue had already generated the settlement documents in his mind.

"How great it would be if all 30 billion were lost!"

Seeing the 30 billion in the investment column, little stars began to appear in Li Mingyue's eyes again. If this was a total loss, the rebate could be as high as 300 billion!
After the contract was signed, both parties began intensive preparations for filming.

As for copyright, when he previously invested in "Wo Three", Su You had already communicated with the couple who bought the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem".

This time the other party still insisted on being a screenwriter, which was of course impossible. When it came to making movies, Su You now only believed in the system and not anyone else.

Of course, the other party also said that he would not transfer the copyright if he could not become a screenwriter.

But when Su You increased the price to 1.2 million, the other party still relented.

Copyright matters can be easily settled in this way.

[Co-produced by Huapiao (Huaguo, Meiguo), the masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" is about to be made into a film and television! 】

[Little Tomato is on the way, teaming up with Hollywood tycoon Weinstein Pictures to bring the Hugo Award-winning science fiction masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" to the screen]

【Miracle!The miracle continues, Little Tomato joins forces with Weinstein Pictures, "The Three-Body Problem" is on the way]

[The story of China is going to the world! 】

[It only took Little Tomato one year to rush out of the country and go global! 】

[Su You, the legendary path of a talented director]

With everything in place, The Weinstein Films began promoting the film.

When the news broke out, it quickly caused an uproar on the Internet.

The Three-Body Problem is already very popular in China, and Xihong Film and Television has been frequently in the news recently.

The Weinstein Films didn't even spend much money, but countless netizens started discussing it crazily on the Internet, and then more and more people joined in, instantly raising the popularity to unprecedented heights.

PDD live room.

"Ya'er, old thief Su You is too fierce!"

"Let me tell you, I have never convinced many people in my life, but I am really convinced by this old thief Su You!"

"I was watching "The Dragon King" yesterday, but you told me that I can watch "The Three-Body Problem" tomorrow. Who would have thought?"

"Shocking, huge shock!"

Liu Feier's live broadcast room.

"I'm really looking forward to it. Let me make it clear first that I haven't read the original work, but I really liked it when I watched "My Three". If the old thief Su You had done it himself, it wouldn't be worse than "My Three", right? "

"Brothers, don't say anything. I'm going to take photos now. When the movie is released, everyone can record by buying tickets. I will draw 100 sets of photos in the live broadcast room!"

[The anchor is quite honest]

[Indeed, the movie does not need to be very good. If it can restore the plot of the original work like "I [-]", it will definitely be a masterpiece]

[Don’t be unreasonable, the old thief’s product must be a high-quality product, just buy the ticket with your eyes closed]

[Yes, I still owe "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" two movie tickets!Why two?Because I have a girlfriend! 】

[Upstairs, who the hell asked you?Who asked you? 】

[If you don’t understand, just ask, everyone draws movie tickets, why does this anchor want to draw photos? 】

[Brother, I advise you to buy a mobile phone that can view images. Aren’t the anchor’s photos more valuable than movie tickets? 】

almost.

[How do you evaluate Xihong Film and Television's preparations to make "The Three-Body Problem" into a film? 】

[Xihongshi Film and Television has just started, and it may not be able to shoot a science fiction masterpiece like "The Three-Body Problem". The quality of the finished film of "The Three-Body Problem" may be worrying]

[I agree, Su You, the old thief, is indeed very strong, but science fiction films not only require the ability of the director, but also the support of the supporting film industry. I am not very optimistic about this version of "The Three-Body Problem" produced by Xihong Film and Television]

[The person above suggested going to the hospital to get a check-up. Didn’t he say that he would cooperate with Weinstein Films?Even with the support of the Hollywood film industry, the quality of the finished film may be worrying? nt right? 】

[When it comes to the support of the Hollywood film industry, we have to mention the explosive masterpiece "The Great Wall"! 】

Whether you are optimistic or not, at least after the news was released, the discussion on the Internet has remained high.

Magic City, Xiaopo Station Headquarters.

Liu Zhi and Bu Zhitong were sitting in the office, looking a little melancholy.

Who would have thought that Xihong Film and Television would develop so fast. Originally, they were planning to make good friends with Xihong Film and Television, so that they could cooperate more in the future.

Unexpectedly, people no longer play on this track, and everyone is no longer on the same level.

They have gone off to play movies, and they don’t seem to have many opportunities to collaborate.

The reason why they are depressed is not entirely because they cannot cooperate with Xihongshi Film and Television. It is just that everyone was still moving bricks on the construction site yesterday, but today you tell me that you have become an Internet giant.

This huge sense of gap is difficult to accept for a while.

“I didn’t expect ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ to win an Oscar!”

Liu Zhi was a little sad. Even half a month after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, they never thought that it would get the honor it has today.

"The photo was really good!"

Bu Zhitong also sighed, "Maybe this is a genius!"

"With "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the forefront, and with the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" in China, as long as the filming is not too bad, we are destined to make money!" Liu Zhi shook his head slightly, "If it is Xihong I would also think so if we make our own movies and TV shows. There is no outsider trouble. Director Xiao Su’s talent is undoubted. I don’t know why they chose to cooperate with Weinstein Pictures this time, but Harvey is not necessarily the one who will make it. What a shameful operation."

He did not complain that Xihongshi Film and Television did not cooperate with them because he knew that they were not qualified yet.

They do have the money, but they really don't have the technology.

A science fiction blockbuster like "The Three-Body Problem" can only be supported by the Hollywood film industry.

Penguin Pictures.

In less than a month, Sun Huaizhong seemed to have aged dozens of years. He looked much older and haggard. At this time, he was sitting on the chair and sighing.

It’s really one wrong step and one wrong step after another.

In the end, Qianda Pictures transferred 5% of its shares to Zijie Dianping to obtain cash to repay debts, but they did not get a single benefit from Penguin.

Others in the alliance also fell apart because they did not get a share of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fire, and the blockade of Qianda failed since then.

Now Xihong Film and Television has cooperated with Hollywood tycoons and made big moves. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is booming.

It would be great if such a person was from Penguin Pictures!
Kiwi, Business Development Department.

Qi Yongan almost fainted from crying.

Originally, all of this should have been theirs, but because of a wrong decision, the prosperity of the film and television industry seemed to have nothing to do with them anymore.

They could only watch as the daily income of Qi Guo became less and less, as the daily income of Xiaopozhan became higher and higher, and as Xihong Film and Television climbed to the top step by step.

Hengdian, Zhejiang Province.

Emo, who had just finished shooting for the day, also saw this message.

After a long time, I couldn't help but sigh.

He has been making movies for decades, but he is still not as young as others.

He had naturally thought about a script like "The Three-Body Problem", but he also knew that with the current level of the domestic film industry, there was no way to put it on the screen, and it was not a genre he was good at.

But it is foreseeable that as long as Su You doesn't make any big mistakes, the "Three-Body" movie will set off a wave of enthusiasm in China.

By then, with two solid blockbuster films under his belt, Su You will also be among the top directors in China.

This step took him more than ten years!

As for Su You, it only took less than two years!
"But maybe I can try a martial arts movie again?"

Emo was lying on the sofa, silently thinking that the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had opened his eyes to a new world. It turns out that it's not that people don't like martial arts movies, they just don't like unsightly martial arts movies.

Capital City, in luxurious gardens.

Snapped!
Innocent teacups and tablets were hit hard on the concrete ground, making a crisp sound.

Even Brother Chen Kai, who had always been very careful about controlling his emotions, could not suppress the anger in his heart.

A video was still playing on the smashed tablet. It was a scene of Brother Chen Kai serving as a judge in the Douyin Short Film Competition. Naturally, what was playing was a clip of him criticizing Su You.

The title of this video can be vaguely seen through the smashed and cracked screen - before waiting for the release of "The Three-Body Problem", let me show you something good first!
As Su You's reputation became more and more famous, the events of that year were mentioned more and more.

In addition, he has made countless bad movies over the years, and his reputation is not very good. It has waxed and waned. Now looking at this video criticizing Su You, he has become a joke in the eyes of netizens.

He knew that if he didn't do something, his reputation would really be ruined on the street.

Staring at the tablet on the ground that was still playing sound even though it was broken, Brother Chen Kai showed a sinister look in his eyes.

……

Xihong plays film and television.

Looking at the comments on the Internet and the current popularity of the film and television version of "The Three-Body Problem".

Li Mingyue felt a chill in her heart.

She now has little confidence in whether the three-body project can lose money.

But now she no longer has to hang herself from a tree, she has found a suitable project.

This is an ink-style martial arts cartoon.

It is said that the director's last film had problems, resulting in huge losses. Now the director seems to be preparing for the next film, but due to financial constraints, the progress is very slow.

Isn't that a coincidence!
She is rich!

I, Li Mingyue, voted for this project!

Of course, before that, she had to convince Su You first.

……

Beautiful Country, California, The Weinstein Films.

"It seems that we have underestimated the Chinese people's love for "The Three-Body Problem"!"

Bob told his brother Harvey with a beaming face that they had set off a craze for "The Three-Body Problem" in China without any effort at all.

And not only in China, but also around the world, everyone is discussing this news very much. It seems that many people are looking forward to the film and television version of "The Three-Body Problem".

Facts have proved that brother Harvey's vision is as tricky as ever.

The predecessor of Weinstein Pictures is Miramax Pictures. They are a small company independent of the seven major Hollywood film and television companies. In other words, the scripts they can shoot are leftovers from those big companies. But that's it, They still produced classics such as "Pulp Fiction" and "The English Patient."

All thanks to his brother Harvey’s discerning eye.

He believes that this time the "Three-Body Problem" will be the next miracle.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing his brother still looking sad, Bob was puzzled.

"If this story is so popular, why let someone else do it?"

Harvey shook his head, and then looked deeply at the sky outside the window. He didn't even want to give the 20% share to Xihong Film and Television.

As for Su You's conditions, such as not being able to dictate his shooting, and having their special effects team be teachers, these were like a thorn in his heart, making him very uncomfortable as he was always domineering.

"But we have already signed the contract."

Bob clearly understood what his brother meant, but he still shook his head. The contract was still very binding on them.

Harvey looked away, with a confident smile on his face, "The contract only stated that we jointly financed the purchase of the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" for film and television shooting, but it did not say that this copyright can only be used for this project. Shoot!”

"Also, the contract does not specify when the projects signed with Xihong Film and Television will be filmed!"

Bob's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he instantly understood what his brother meant.

They can completely shelve the contract with Xihong Film and Television, and then use the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" to film other projects. This will not be considered a violation of the contract!
Wonderful!

What a move, the white wolf with empty gloves!

A contract that will never be executed in exchange for the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem".

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

"Have you thought about it a long time ago?" Bob asked while laughing heartily.

Harvey shook his head again, "If they work for us honestly, we won't have to go to such trouble."

"He really regards himself as a person. He dares to point fingers at me. He is still too young!"

Bob nodded. He also felt that Su You's conditions were excessive, but he was still a little worried, "But if we want to occupy the Chinese market, where can we find a Chinese director?"

At this moment, a secretary knocked on the door and walked in, "Boss, there is a Chinese director who wants to see you!"
