Indulge in Life in America

In the spacious and bright modern conference room, a huge transparent conference table made of tempered glass lives in it. Yang Cheng and Zhang Jingchu sit with their backs against the window. David Ellison and his assistants are in the first place, and Yang Cheng Opposite, it is the main target of today's meeting, Tom Cruise's sister, who is also the head of Tom Cruise production company, Liande Witte.

　　 The glass curtain wall outside successfully isolates the heat from invading, and the constant temperature air conditioner in the conference room always maintains a comfortable 26 degrees, creating a comfortable and comfortable conversation environment for people.

　　 "Ms. Dewitt, I asked you here today for the 15% investment share. Don't rush to veto it. I have already investigated it clearly. You and Paramount have fallen out with the investors in Country Z."

　　 As the host, David Ellison changed his sloppy nature, as if he was a business elite, and spoke out.

As Tom Cruise’s sister, Lyon DeWitt has exactly the same greed genes in her bones, but she is also very good at being a human being. She is never soft when she should be arrogant. Now facing the two big brothers of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, Tom Cruise Si didn't dare to be presumptuous when he came personally, at most he did not humble or humble.

　　 Or it’s eccentric to go to heaven, a mother, no, I don’t know if she and Tom Cruise are half-parents or half-parents. Anyway, the difference in appearance is quite big.

A pair of uncharacteristic eyes was placed on Yang Cheng since he came in. Now, Yang Cheng’s easily recognizable face is well-known in mainstream circles in the United States, especially after the forum company, Yang Cheng once again took the Lions Gate. The news of the film industry has spread like wildfire, and it is already in a state of semi-official announcement. You know everything you need to know, and only wait for the right time to announce it to the world, so that the common people will also be surprised.

　　 "Mr. Yang wants to take over?" Liande Witte asked after a moment of silence.

　　 Yang Cheng glanced at each other with David Ellison, then took the conversation, "Call me jason, I want to take over the 15% in the name of Focus Pictures."

Liande Witte was not polite, nodded, and the news that Focus Films changed hands together is not secretive, "Jason, if we hand over 15% of the share to you, we will definitely offend the investors of Country Z. This is for us. It’s not good for filming on the other side. You know that land is the second largest market in the world, and no one can easily ignore it."

Yang Cheng knew that the other party would ask this question. He was prepared and replied confidently, "You are right, don’t worry about this. We have our own channels to solve the issue of the issue in the country of Z. Don’t forget that I am In fact, if you are of Chinese descent, if you are not at ease, you can incorporate this clause into the contract and use liquidated damages to protect your interests."

　　 Prior to this, Yang Cheng had been thinking about how to break into the market before the country's economy is about to enter the era of high-speed rail, and share the crazy dividends that this populous market will generate in the next few years.

Originally, Yang Cheng was still waiting for Jack Ma’s visit to the United States next month to start the Alibaba’s listing roadshow. He waited for the opportunity to communicate with him and enter the Z country market. At this moment, the Mission Impossible 5 project gave Yang Cheng an opportunity. .

Long time ago, although the entertainment industry is chaotic, it is the most open and inclusive field in each country and market. Compared with the policy impacts that may be encountered when investing in real estate on the other side, investment in the entertainment industry can encounter more obstacles, and This is more convenient to connect with his investment in South Korea.

"Jason, you are very confident. I don't doubt that you can do this, but I don't know your splitting requirements." Liande Witte complimented him and pointed out the issue she and Tom Cruise care about most, which is money. .

　　 Yang Cheng leaned back, sipped the savory coffee, twisted his neck loosely, and smiled lightly, "I only take what I should take, who makes me a latecomer?"

Liandewitt’s smile was stagnant. She didn’t understand. Yang Cheng explained further, “As long as I belong to me, which is 15% of the world’s total box office, as for the surrounding area, although I am greedy, I know That doesn't belong to me."

Yang Cheng deliberately added an accent to the wording of the total box office, reminding him that it is the total box office, not the total income after deducting the production cost, and not the net profit after deducting the operator’s split. The difference between the numbers here and the inside is wide went.

　　 Li Andewit was instinctively about to refuse, but remembering the identities of the two opposing people, he suppressed the desire to spray, carefully analyzing the pros and cons.

Because Yang Cheng clearly only participates in box office sharing, that is, non-box office income, including all income based on film copyright; income from film placement, sponsorship, etc.; income from broadcasting rights such as TV and Internet; in addition, there are game adaptations He doesn't want income and peripheral income such as movie derivatives.

　　 The profit of this piece is far less fierce than it was 10 years ago, but it is also a piece of fat. It depends on whether a film is profitable on the books or one of the fundamental factors of actual profitability.

Yang Cheng voluntarily gave up the non-box office income, which means that he will not give in the total box office income. After all, he is not an ordinary businessman with no foundation in the United States. The only thing Liande Witte has to consider now is z The 15% of the box office net profit required by the Chinese investor + the surrounding share ~www.readwn.com~ and the 15% of the total box office proposed by Yang Cheng, which one can make Tom Cruise earn more, no one knows this better than her How much does a perverse brother value money.

　　 Especially Tom Cruise was divided into half of his property by his 17-year-old third wife because of the divorce case last year. Now it is the time when he is desperate for money, otherwise he will not change his mind suddenly when the film is about to start.

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn’t make up her mind. She couldn’t make the decision. The two plans are actually half-and-large. The better and the worse lies in the quality of the film. If the box office is not ideal, it is natural that the accounting model proposed by Yang Cheng is more beneficial to Tom Cruise. Because they can also make money from the surrounding area, and once the box office bursts, Yang Cheng’s account sharing plan will undoubtedly cause Tom Cruise to work hard for a year and Bai works for Yang Cheng.

"Jason, David, can I go back and discuss it with Tom? You know that for such an important decision, I can't make my own decision." Liande Wit decisively threw the pot to Tom Cruise. She was still old. Honestly hide behind the big stars and make some cheap money. She can't afford the big bosses' business.

　　 Yang Cheng was not disappointed. He stood up freely and shook hands with Liande Wit, and warned like a joke, "You should really discuss it with Tom, and let me know after you make up your mind. Don't you regret it this time?"

"With the media resources in the hands of Yang Cheng and David Ellison, as well as Tom Cruise's black material that is enough to fill a room, I really remind Tom to think carefully about whether or not to risk offending these two brothers. I don't know if it is more or less profit." Liandewitt smiled politely, but sounded the alarm in his heart.
