Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 120 Three brand new projects

These days, Taylor's spirits are running high.

She's keeping the excitement coming from "The Sound of Music," which grossed $1700 million in its first week.

Starred in two such high-grossing movies in succession, and the second one is the absolute protagonist.

There was too much applause outside.

Various newspapers even regarded Elizabeth as a panacea for the box office. All kinds of good words and praises made Elizabeth feel ashamed after reading it.

Is the perfect person inside really me?
The box office hits of two films in a row have seriously stimulated the nerves of investors, making them red-eyed.

At this point, check-waving investors were looking for her all over Hollywood.

The highest among them even reached 200 million + 20%.

As long as she is willing to act, she can get a salary of 200 million plus 20% of the share.

How expensive is this?

Unprecedented!

Faced with all these temptations, Elizabeth almost couldn't hold back her heart.

(In fact, it was her agent who inquired in time that there was a problem with the identity of the investor, otherwise Elizabeth would have been cheated.)
Elizabeth's villa.

Peyton saw Elizabeth's excitement.

She was wearing a crisp white dress, exactly the one in the movie.

She also gave Peyton a charming look.

It's all provocative.

Peyton's heart became hot, and he couldn't resist the temptation of the uniform. He hugged Elizabeth and suddenly whispered in her ear.

"Miss Maria, can you dance with me?"

Elizabeth giggled, got out of Peyton's arms, and stretched out her hand to him.

"Of course, sir Colonel!"

Peyton couldn't stand this, and quickly took off his coat.

"Huh? Colonel, what are you doing undressing?"

"I think the kneading bed would be a better place to dance!"

Peyton explained seriously.

Elizabeth lightly hammered Peyton a few times, and broke a mouthful: "You are so bad!"

"Then do you love it or not?"

"Necrosis, love, love it!"

"Perfunctory, I will punish you!"

Peyton picked Elizabeth up as a princess, and walked towards the bed under Elizabeth's surprised and expectant eyes.

cloudy night...

Peyton only felt that there were ants crawling around in his chest.

Opening her eyes, it turned out that Elizabeth's little hand, which had nowhere to rest, was drawing circles on her chest.

"you're awake?"

Seeing Peyton open his eyes, Elizabeth smiled.

Peyton nodded and asked curiously, "Don't you have any plans for today?"

It stands to reason that with Elizabeth's current popularity, her agent should have packed her schedule long ago, but there is no schedule today?
Peyton was extremely surprised.

Elizabeth shook her head: "I'll take a day off, and aren't you going back to Alabama next week? I just happen to be with you."

Peyton smiled immediately: "Okay, but I have arrangements for today, and I will be free in the afternoon."

"Ok?"

"Have a meeting with the shareholders of the production company and talk about the next project by the way."

"A new movie?" Elizabeth was immediately attracted.

Peyton saw her care at a glance.

"You should rest for a while, this project is not suitable for you, this is a pure man's play."

Elizabeth was a little disappointed: "Well, there is a play that suits me, don't forget."

Peyton nodded: "Don't worry, if you shoot two movies in a row, you should take a good rest for a while."

Elizabeth nodded, suddenly she hesitated for a while, and said, "Payton, do you think I can make a movie by myself?"

"Make a movie?"

Peyton was a little surprised, wondering why Elizabeth suddenly thought of this.

"Okay, let me tell you!"

Elizabeth told Peyton about her experience, she met a liar.

The other party lured her to act with a high price, while the other side wanted to attract investment from outside, using her name to swindle money.

And her name is really easy to use. If her agent hadn't discovered the problem in time, she would have been caught by a scammer.

Peyton laughed: "Why are you so stupid?"

Elizabeth was a little dissatisfied: "Hmph, that liar is too cunning, and the salary he gave is unprecedented in Hollywood."

"...But this liar reminded me that I am famous now, and I have no shortage of investors, so I can make my own movies."

Peyton nodded, he could tell that Elizabeth was no longer satisfied with being an actress, and she longed for more money.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have almost fallen into the 20% share trap.

"Well, you can try it. Start with a small-budget movie, maybe you can make money back, at least it won't make investors lose too much, and it's bad for your reputation."

"Hmph, how do you know that I will fail, maybe it will be a super popular movie."

Peyton looked at her helplessly: "It's up to you, if you find a project, you can show it to me, and I will give you an analysis."

"Hee hee, you are the best."

Elizabeth's complexion changed very quickly, and she was immediately flattered.

Peyton shook his head: "I can't guarantee that, when the time comes, I can only give you some advice."

"Ok!"

……

"congratulations!"

In a banquet hall, several shareholders congratulated each other.

The current box office trend of "The Sound of Music" made everyone present extremely satisfied.

According to the current trend, there is a high probability that The Sound of Music will reach the box office of 5000-6000 million in the end.

With an investment of only 800 million yuan, and with such a result, it's hard to win.

If it is said that the only dissatisfaction is that everyone feels that their investment share is too small this time.

Payton smiled: "Everyone, the company has made a good start. Next, let me introduce three projects to you."

"Three items!"

Everyone's eyes are fixed, looking at each other, three items, they are enough to divide a large piece.

Peyton looked at the crowd with a smile, and said slowly, "I only have 30% of the profits, but... I don't pay."

For an instant, there was silence.

Several investors also seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and their hearts were no longer as hot as before.

"Gentlemen, I am responsible for the production and distribution of the film. I am busy, and I think 30% is my profit share, which is fair."

"One labor, one harvest, my labor is totally worth the value."

Alberto Papa, who was smoking a pipe, nodded: "30% is not too much, I think Mr. Chris is worth it, but... if Mr. Chris is not involved, I have no idea."

Peyton smiled: "I understand. You are worried that I will use the project to cheat you. In this way, I will pay 20% of the investment, but I want 60% of the share."

"It's too high." Catherine shook her head immediately.

"Oh? Then how much did you say?"

Peyton stared straight at her with a pair of eyes, staring at her a little panicked.

Clover suddenly said: "50% share, as long as Mr. Chris is willing to bear 20% of the investment, I will vote for the remaining 80%."

Peyton smiled and held out his hand: "Happy cooperation! Don't worry, I will choose a movie that satisfies you."

Joe paused: "30% share is 30% share, Payton is worth the price, I want 50% investment share, who will take the rest!"

The other two shareholders looked at each other, Qiqi said: "Give me 25%."

Peyton stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation."

"There is one last item, I don't know—"

Alberto Papa suddenly smiled: "I want it. I voted for 80% of this movie. I don't know if Ms. Catherine is willing to vote for the remaining 20%."

Catherine hesitated, but finally nodded.

Peyton laughed: "Then we have a happy cooperation."

"Now, let me explain these three items to you, and you are free to choose."

"First project 'Saw'"

"Second project 'Cheat in Cheat'"

"The third project 'The Exorcist'"

The movies that can remain in Peyton's mind are definitely quite classic movies.

These films have proved themselves in later generations, but Peyton is not sure if they appeared in this era more than ten years in advance, whether they can adapt?

Among them, Peyton is most optimistic about the exorcist, followed by deception. The stories of the two are very strong, and the effect will not be bad.

In the end, it is a small and big chainsaw horror, which has relatively high requirements for the director, and it is difficult for ordinary tool people to complete.
