Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 270 I Want to Divide in Half

Unexpectedly, Ashley would invite himself to join Warner.

But thinking about it carefully, I think it's normal. After all, "Mission Impossible" earned 6000 million at the box office in the first week.

This is already the best result among the films released and produced by Warner this year.

And this is only the first week's results. I believe that within the next month, it will definitely be no problem for this movie to exceed [-] million.

At the beginning, Ashley couldn't believe that the creator of this play turned out to be a young man who was only 19 years old.

However, judging from the information he has collected recently, although it sounds a bit appalling, it is all true.

"Mr. Lin, Warner Bros. has strong strength in Hollywood, a lot of funds and the best production team. If you are willing to join us, I guarantee that your creativity will be displayed to the greatest extent in front of the world."

What Ashley said is indeed correct. Compared with Shaw Brothers, joining Warner is indeed a very wise choice.

If once Lin Daoqiu really agrees to Ashley joining Warner, then from now on he will not need to worry about the production fee, and he can shoot whatever he wants.

"I think Mr. Lin should seriously consider my proposal."

For Ashley, if Lin Daoqiu can be recruited into Warner, maybe their company will be able to compete with other Hollywood production companies in the future.

At least in the genre of action movies, Warner will be able to occupy a place in Hollywood in the future, and may even be the number one.

"Sorry Mr. Ashley, I'm not interested in joining any company, I'm still used to being an independent filmmaker."

Lin Daoqiu never thought of joining any Hollywood film company, and there was no company worthy of his service.

If it is about cooperation, Lin Daoqiu may be very interested, but if he wants to let himself join the other party's company, then Lin Daoqiu can only decline the other party's kindness.

"why?"

Ashley couldn't figure it out, he thought Lin Daoqiu's rejection was incredible.

In his opinion, it is unbelievable that a filmmaker from Xiangjiang would reject Warner's invitation.

"There is no reason, all I can say is sorry."

Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to explain too much to Ashley.

After being rejected by Lin Daoqiu, the expression on Ashley's face suddenly became ugly.

But he didn't intend to turn against Lin Daoqiu on the spot, because the other party has helped Warner earn 3000 million so far.

Even if there is no way to include him in Warner, Ashley does not want to turn against Lin Daoqiu.

"Well, I respect Mr. Lin's meaning, but Warner's door is always open for you. If you change your mind, you can call me at any time."

Ashley could only shrug his shoulders to express his regret. After all, he was full of confidence before, thinking that Lin Daoqiu would definitely agree to himself.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would return home in the end. It can be said that this hit him a bit.

"Actually, we might be able to cooperate in another way."

Although Lin Daoqiu refused to join Warner, this does not mean that he is unwilling to cooperate with the other party. After all, Lin Daoqiu is really short of money now.

Before he left Neon, he left 100 million yen for mag as daily funds, and now he has less than [-] million US dollars left in his hands. He is really poor.

But this is only temporary, "Mission Impossible" is almost released in Asia, and I can probably get 600 million US dollars by then.

If there are no accidents in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu will be able to share an income of 500 million US dollars after the box office breaks through [-] million.

In addition to the box office, there is also a good income from selling video tapes, but I am afraid that I will have to wait until next year to get this money.

So in general, this "Mission Impossible" earned Lin Daoqiu more than 2000 million US dollars in income, and this was the result after sharing it with Run Run Shaw.

"Another way of cooperation?"

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Ashley immediately became interested.

"I want to talk to Ashley about the future."

"You said."

Ashley nodded, it seemed that he was very interested in Lin Daoqiu's topic.

"I want to know how much I can share if the movies I make are handed over to Warner for operation in the future."

Ashley has no doubts that Lin Daoqiu's next movie will be a hit.

Because "Mission Impossible" is obviously a series, as long as Lin Daoqiu continues to make sequels, it will definitely make money.

"We have a [-]-[-] split with Mr. Shao. If Mr. Lin entrusts us with the operation of the sequel of "Mission Impossible", I am willing to sign the same share with you."

It sounds like Ashley treats Lin Daoqiu very well. If the movie is not released, this share may be barely acceptable.

But if he still wants to put on airs of a Hollywood company in front of him now, then Lin Daoqiu will probably disappoint Ashley.

"Of course I hope to continue to cooperate with Warner, but it is impossible to score three to seven points. I think five to five points is the most reasonable."

Ashley never expected that Lin Daoqiu would want to agree with each other as soon as he opened his mouth. Is this possible?This is downright ridiculous.

"Hahaha... Mr. Lin is really humorous, five or five?"

From Ashley's point of view, it is considered pretty good that he is willing to give the other party [-]% of the share, but he did not expect him to be so greedy that he wanted to share half of it.

Don't mention him, I'm afraid that Ashley will bring this matter to the board of directors for discussion, and no one present will agree to this share request.

"Mr. Ashley, I'm not joking. If Warner is willing to help with the operation of the next movie, I hope to get [-]% of it."

Lin Daoqiu looked at each other seriously, he was in no mood and had no time to joke with Ashley.

And when Ashley saw Lin Daoqiu's serious expression, he slowly put away his smile.

"Mr. Lin, with all due respect, no matter if you get this condition from any Hollywood company, I bet no one will agree to your condition."

Ashley is not joking, in his opinion, he is willing to give [-]% to Lin Daoqiu, which is considered a very generous thing.

I didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu didn't know how to be grateful. This guy is a bit too much.

"This is just your guess, but I have made my opinion very clear. If Warner wants to cooperate in the future, then I will only accept a split contract. I have something to do, so excuse me."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up, because he and Ashley had nothing to continue chatting.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you will definitely regret it by then, because with me, there is absolutely no possibility of [-]-[-] points."

Ashley's attitude is also very firm, and it is absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to split evenly with Warner.
