Seeing Martin read the script so quickly didn't seem unusual to Jeff.

He had long been accustomed to his boss's incredible reading speed.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"How do you feel, Martin?"

"Great, tell Peter, I invested the money. He wants 130 million, right? Give it to him and shoot the trilogy together!"

…………

Far away New Zealand.

Peter is spitting passionately on several friends

"I have been waiting for this opportunity for three years, and now it is finally possible to make this dream come true. Guys, come and help me. Special effects, photography, props, and scenery. I need you."

"Don't you need to discuss this with Martin?"Richard Taylor said in surprise

"Hehe, Martin has authorized all these things to me, and I will not betray his trust!"Peter Jackson puffed up his belly and said proudly

"Hey, Peter, isn't $130 million enough? After all, this is"The Lord of the Rings" and we have to create another Middle-earth continent."

"It should be enough. I will shoot this movie in New Zealand and try to shoot it in real locations. This can reduce a lot of costs. Moreover, Martin allowed me to shoot back-to-back (that is, three consecutive shots), which saved a lot of money. We only used special effects if we couldn't find anything that could be replaced with real scenes!"

"Maybe, after this movie is released, it will promote tourism in New Zealand. The government should give me a medal."

Peter Jackson joked happily, but he didn't expect that the joke would come true later.

《What"The Lord of the Rings" brings to New Zealand is not just a little bit of traffic, but nearly 10 million tourists every year.

"By the way, I heard that Harvey guy is no longer investing in this movie? Richard asked curiously,"What happened?""

As soon as he heard the name"Harvey", Peter Jackson looked unhappy. After all, anyone who has been PUA for three years would not be in a good mood.

He snorted coldly and explained:"It is owned by Warner Bros. New Line Cinema bought Harvey's share, which is a good thing. I don't have to see that fat pig's face anymore."

Richard wanted to remind his friend that the word"fat pig" was used incorrectly - as if he was scolding himself, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't speak.

Peter was angry, so he had better not get into trouble!

Yes, buy it last It was not Warner Bros. who lost Harvey's share, but New Line Cinema, a subsidiary of Warner Bros.

As for why he did this?

Because Alan Horn did not have absolute confidence in the movie, and such a large-investment movie Once it fails, the impact on the stock price will be huge.

In order to avoid dragging down Warner Bros., Alan Horn decided to invest in the name of New Line Cinema. This way, even if the movie fails, the impact will be much smaller.

This is There is nothing wrong with this mature move!

…………

Miramax Pictures.

Harvey is in the office bragging about the investment to people around him

"You can see how right my investment was. I have already made money before the movie was even released, haha"

"Harvey, congratulations!"

Ben Affleck toasted Harvey.

Bob frowned,"What if this movie is a big hit?……"

"impossible! Harvey waved his hand and interrupted his brother,"I know that fat man Peter Jackson very well. He is just a B-level film director and cannot control such a large-scale production at all."

Matt Damon also frowned and said,"But why did Warner vote?""

"It’s a new line of investment, haven’t you seen it yet? This is just Warner Bros. showing goodwill to Martin. They also have no confidence in the movie. Otherwise, why didn't Warner Bros. cast it themselves? Humph, it’s just a little trick!"

"So if we withdraw like this, will it affect our relationship with Martin?"Matt Damon is indeed very smart and saw the crux of the problem.

Harvey hesitated and said,"It doesn't matter. I'll wait until this movie fails and I'll ask for help. Hehe, maybe then I can buy the copyrights of the books in his hands at a lower price."

Bob glanced at his brother and felt that he was a little distracted?

Didn't you see that Warner Bros. was willing to pay for Martin?

If this movie really fails, there will be many people rushing to express their condolences. In Martin's eyes, Can he still see us?

But he didn't say anything.

Because Harvey has been a little arbitrary recently and can't really listen to other people's opinions! Let's talk about it later!

Bob thought to himself.

The horse sitting next to him Tedamon was rubbing his chin, secretly thinking about something... (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He had a hunch that as long as Martin succeeds again, he will probably turn from a chess piece of capital into a chess piece of capital. Capital itself, after all, he has such a family background, if it were me...

He raised his head and glanced at the triumphant Harvey, and finally let go of that idea.

It's not time yet!

…………

Warner Bros. Headquarters.

Alan Horn is convincing board members

"On this movie, we have to work together with Martin. If he wants to invest more, we will also invest more. He wants to delegate power to Peter Jackson, and we also agree that as long as we have a good relationship with Martin, even if the movie loses, we will still be able to make money in the future. You will also earn more!"

"In this way, wouldn't Martin become the producer of this trilogy of movies? Isn't it appropriate? he is just a child"

"Wrong, he is a genius!"

"No matter how talented he is, he is only a child under fourteen years old!"

This director is a bit serious.

Of course, because it involves his money.

"Believe me, Martin is definitely not an ordinary child. His brain and thinking are more mature than many adults."

Speaking of this, Alan Horn recalled the face-to-face communication with Martin about this investment. The young man's mature conversation and quick thinking left a deep impression on him.

Since that conversation, he did not know Unconsciously, he began to trust Martin more and more, willing to trust his judgment and act in concert with him...

He also discovered this and attributed it to Martin's eloquence and affinity, which in turn strengthened his idea of ​​following Martin. , because - people with these two abilities are more likely to succeed!

Isn't the so-called Hollywood a place that constantly chases successful people? In essence, it is no different from Wall Street!!!

In the end, Alan Horn succeeded convinced board members

……

When Jeff hung up the phone with Alan Horn, he had a look of shock on his face.

"Martin, Alan Horn said on the phone that Warner Bros. is willing to be your concerted action person! The contract will be faxed right away!"

"Seriously, this is amazing, how on earth did you convince him? You just met once!"

Martin smiled without saying a word!!!

(Brothers, please take care of me, please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you.)
