China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 163 Be Careful

After Spart drove a few people to the hotel, he left in a hurry, and he had to hurry up to contact other animation companies.

It is not only for Blue Sky Studios, but also to use the news that Blue Sky Studios is interested in "Zootopia" to stimulate other companies.

All in all, Spat feels there should be a good chance of success this time around:

A reward of 15 US dollars, here I come!

Back at the hotel, He Hua first exchanged his views on today's negotiation with the three of Yu Yang, and then re-emphasized the goal of this trip.

Liu Yifei listened for a while, then got up and went back to her room when she saw that she had nothing to do.

After seeing his girlfriend leave from the corner of his eyes, He Hua coughed twice:

"Everyone has worked hard today, and there are still tough battles to be fought in the next days. Let's go back early to rest and recharge our spirits."

Yu Yang and the others looked at the sun that had not yet set, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"Go, go, don't call me and Yifei for dinner tonight, we are going to go out for a stroll." He Hua urged impatiently.

The three of Yu Yang left without a word. They were all adults, and no one could understand this.

After they left, He Hua quickly took off his clothes, then took off his clothes and rushed into the bathroom:
"Wash and wash, today is a good day."

In fact, since Liu Yifei was worried about his language communication before departure, He Hua had a careful thought.

He asked his girlfriend for help on the grounds that the situation was urgent and he couldn't find a good translator at the moment.

After taking a shower, He Hua changed his clothes and ran to knock on his girlfriend's door.

"Who?"

"I."

Liu Yifei heard her boyfriend's voice and just walked over to open the door, He Hua immediately squeezed in.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Yifei looked at her boyfriend who had changed clothes and had wet hair and said strangely.

He Hua stepped forward and put his arms around his girlfriend, making up nonsense: "I think you are a little absent-minded, so come and have a look."

Liu Yifei believed it very simply, she turned her arms around her boyfriend, leaned her head on He Hua's shoulder, and murmured:
"I'm a little surprised, you are amazing, a script can sell for millions of dollars, I"

"What's the matter with you? The newly-released four-star actress will look down on me?" He Hua interrupted his girlfriend directly, and teased while rubbing his chin lightly on his girlfriend's forehead.

In the past April, the most important event in the entertainment industry was that Tencent.com united with nearly a hundred mainstream media in the industry, and with the participation of millions of netizens, nearly a hundred entertainment reporters jointly voted for the new "Four Little Actresses": Liu Yifei, Huang Shengyi , Wang Luodan, Yang Mi.

Liu Yifei was a little ashamed, she raised her head and looked at He Hua: "That's not what I mean, how can I look down on you?"

Seeing this, He Hua bowed his head and kissed her, and opened it after a while, then slid the tip of his nose on his girlfriend's cheek and said:

"No, it's fine. The more powerful I am, the better my Sissy's vision and charm will be?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei felt as if a piece of honey was stuffed in his heart, full of joy, and completely let go of his thoughts at that time.

But with this peace of mind, she noticed the difference in her boyfriend today, felt his more and more presumptuous actions, and thought of Yu Yang's proficiency in foreign languages ​​after getting off the plane.

How could Liu Yifei not know that she was cheated by her boyfriend, she immediately became nervous.

He Hua didn't listen to dissuasion at all, but became more and more addicted: "Sissy, I love you so much."

"Hmm!" Liu Yifei paused slightly, and gently placed He Hua's hands on the back of He Hua's head with a little resistance.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, He Hua woke up from his sleep.

Before he opened his eyes, he felt the softness in his arms, and a smile appeared on his face.

He opened his eyes and looked at his girlfriend who was still sleeping soundly, seeing her beautiful and moving face without makeup, and he felt infinite satisfaction in his heart.

In four years, in four years, I have gone from a poor student with nothing to the person I love now, the house and car are all ready, and my net worth is tens of millions. Feel extremely satisfied.

However, for the future of the company, for the future of countless people under him, and to live up to this love, he still has to keep pushing himself to move forward.

He Hua looked at his girlfriend, thinking about his own affairs in his mind, and didn't stop moving his hands, and soon woke up his girlfriend.

"You're awake."

"Otherwise?" Liu Yifei first slapped off her boyfriend's mischievous hand, and then said angrily with slightly flushed cheeks.

He Hua was a little embarrassed, but still leaned over and hugged his girlfriend tightly, apologizing: "I didn't mean to."

"You did it on purpose." Liu Yifei pursed her lips slightly, and poked her boyfriend's chest lightly with her white and tender fingers: "When I was in BJ, I lied to my mother and me, saying that time was tight and the task was heavy, and I lied to him alone. Come here, you just don't feel at ease."

He Hua hurriedly called out to himself: "Who told our mother to control you so strictly? Isn't there nothing I can do?"

"Huh!" Liu Yifei was about to speak when He Hua's stomach started rumbling.

He quickly changed the subject: "Baby, are you hungry? I'm hungry. Is there any dinner available in the hotel now?"

Liu Yifei shook her head: "There should be no more. If you want to eat, you can only go out and buy it."

Holding a beautiful girl in his arms, let him get up now, isn't this a difficult task?

"Forget it, I'll bear it."

"Gu..." He Hua had just finished speaking when his stomach started to growl again.

Liu Yifei giggled twice, then pushed He Hua with his hands: "Go take a shower, I'm hungry too."

He Hua sighed first, then said with a smirk:
"Save time, let's wash together."

"No, you go first. Oops, you hate"

The next day, Yu Yang and others discovered the difference between the boss. Jiaozi and He Hua had known each other for a long time, so they teased Yu Yang directly beside him: "Is the boss's room unused? Why don't you return it? It will save the company money." Some money."

"I think what you said makes sense. I'll ask. Hey, boss, you're here."

"Shut up, am I short of that little money?" After insulting them, He Hua quickly comforted his girlfriend with his hands.

If you don't want to be comforted, the flesh on your arm is about to be twisted off, why does this woman love to twist people!He Hua gasped.

However, the extra room money did not take a few days.

On the third day after meeting Lan Tian, ​​Spat took them to Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles, Spat took them to visit DreamWorks Animation, which created a series of classic animated films such as "Shrek", "Madagascar", and "Kung Fu Panda".

He also had lunch with John Stephenson, director of "Kung Fu Panda" and producer Melissa Sakob, which made He Hua admire Spater.

Sure enough, after Spata took He Hua and others to visit DreamWorks, Lan Tian re-invited them back to the negotiating table.

After less than half a month of negotiations, the two parties finally reached a treaty:
Lighthouse Animation provides the script and cartoon images of "Zootopia" free of charge for the use of Blue Sky Studio

The two parties jointly developed the "Zootopia" series of animations

Both parties enjoy the corresponding box office income and subsequent copyright income according to their investment shares

Blue Sky Studio enjoys preferential investment in follow-up works of Beacon Animation (only in the Hollywood market) and so on.

After the contract was signed, Chris Wedge embraced He Hua excitedly:
"I hope we can cooperate happily and create a new "Ice Age""

"I believe that you will not regret the decision you made today in the future. It is a pleasant cooperation."

After He Hua and others walked out of the blue sky building, Spat said with some regret that as long as he was given some more time, he could help He Hua win more benefits.

He Hua turned his head and curled his lips. He said this afterwards, but he still recognized Spaat's ability. During the whole negotiation process, he really worked hard to protect He Hua's interests.

On the way back to the hotel, He Hua took out a check for US$15 that he had already prepared and handed it to Spat: "Your reward."

Spater hesitated to speak after taking it.

"What, man, isn't that the right number? We agreed before."

Spat quickly shook his head, he didn't want to be regarded as a greedy person by He Hua, although he just said: "No, no, of course it's okay, but I just want to say"

"Have you considered the development of Hollywood? Your script is really good. We can continue to cooperate."

"I can push your script to any company you want to work with and help you make more money."

He Hua was also a little moved. He really didn't know until here that a good script can be sold for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, which is much more profitable than writing a best-selling book.

And the script deals here are not the same as those in China. If the scripts are written and delivered in China, it’s fine. But here, if someone else’s script or movie or TV series based on your script is broadcast on TV stations or the Internet, the screenwriter will get a share. , and the cumulative amount of this share is very large.

But He Hua was a little worried, fearing that he would be scammed. After all, Wall Street couldn't get anything cheap from Hollywood. He is a ZG guy. Don't spend time and energy to work out a script that will become someone else's mouth. in the cake.

"Hey, Hua, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, as long as you sign a brokerage contract with us."

Spat pointed to himself, then pointed to Liu Yifei and said:
"I, we, the WMA will take care of the rest for you. We will operate and let you join the WGA, and they will protect your rights."

WGA is Hollywood's screenwriters' union. This union will strive for the maximum remuneration for its union members. For example, they stipulate that the price of the script should not be less than 6.5 US dollars, which is 2.5% of the total investment.

However, He Hua doubted whether they would treat them equally even if he joined in.

"You have to believe that we are a community of interests. The more you earn, the more we can earn. Who would be against money?"

"Let me think about it." He Hua replied to Spot and closed his eyes.

But what he said dispelled He Hua's many worries.

There are a lot of film and television resources in the player, even if my own company is running at full capacity, it will not consume much. Youhua Entertainment has only filmed 6 dramas in the past three years since its establishment.

And now I basically use materials from domestic regions, and it would be a waste to not use resources from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea.

It's better to get it out and make a fortune, even if Hollywood's financial accounting cuts the profit to the minimum, it's nothing more than making less money.

However, it is a big project to adapt an American drama into a script, and I have to re-learn foreign languages, otherwise there may be jokes.

He Hua felt dizzy at the thought of learning English, he was a scumbag who passed the fourth grade!

And it's better to find some ghostwriters, erect the frame by yourself, and they fill in the details, so as to be efficient.

Thinking that He Hua made up his mind to go back and make two films to test the waters first.

In the next few days, He Hua followed Spat to learn more about the operation process of WMA's brokerage.

After confirming that he did not lie to himself, he signed an overseas agency contract with him.

The general content of the contract is that Spat is responsible for finding suitable buyers for He Hua's works, and he will charge a commission of 7-10% based on the final transaction price. The higher the price, the higher the commission point; Hua does not need to pay any fees.

After signing the contract, in addition to the previous "Super Special Team", He Hua took out another script from his bag and handed it to Spat:
"This is a script I recently completed. It tells the story of a game similar to "Grand Theft Auto", where an NPC accidentally awakens his own consciousness, accidentally discovers the conspiracy of the game maker, and joins hands with the players to save the world s story."

"See if you're interested."

Spat took the script in He Hua's hands in surprise, flipped through two pages, and responded happily to He Hua:

"Of course, this is a very good work."

Hearing that Spat said it was okay, Liu Yifei, who was acting as an interpreter, immediately had a smile on his face, and He Hua also secretly gave his girlfriend a thumbs up.

The creation of this script was not easy. He Hua couldn't speak English, so he simply wrote it in Chinese first. He originally planned to find someone to translate it later, but Liu Yifei immediately took the job to himself after hearing it.

It took several nights to get it done, but it made He Hua very angry.

But seeing his girlfriend so happy now, He Hua felt better.

The next day, He Hua patted his butt, got up and returned home with his girlfriend, leaving Yu Yang and others to continue to connect with Lantian here, mainly because Lighthouse Animation and Lantian Studio are still in the specific total investment and share. have a question.

It was not until the end of June that the two parties officially completed the cooperation agreement:

总投资1.2亿美元，合人民币9亿多，蓝天工作室以7800万美元占65%的份额，灯塔动画则以4200万美元拿下剩下的35%。
