During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 183 Warner’s calculations and the actress’ love

Time Warner is a media and entertainment company in the Internet era. It has existed for more than a century since its founder, Warner Brothers, started working in film screening in 1903. It is a well-deserved century-old brand.

In 1927, Warner Bros. released "The Jazz Singer," considered the first official talkie in film history, ushering in the era of talkies.

In 1931, Warner Brothers developed electric movie projection equipment, which had historic significance for the early North American film and television market and film industry.

Over the next half century, Warner Brothers integrated resources and expanded its business. Until 1990, Warner Communications and Time Inc. merged to form Time Warner, becoming the world's largest media group. In 97, the company's revenue reached US$250 billion.

In 2001, North America Online, the world's largest Internet service provider, merged with Time Warner to become the world's first fully integrated media and communications company facing the Internet century, once again pushing Time Warner to its peak.

Today, Time Warner's business spans the publishing, film and television industries, including Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune Magazine, Life Magazine, Turner Television Network, CNN, HBO, DC Comics, Warner Bros., etc., with global influence Powerful media are all its subsidiaries.

The person negotiating with Wei Jin this time is Warner Bros. Pictures, which is mainly responsible for matters related to the film industry.

Warner Bros. Pictures Headquarters, Burbank, California.

Paul, the Warner representative whom Nolan and Wei Jin had met, was having a good chat with Leon.

"Nolan, Paul, I like this script very much. Thank you for thinking of me, but I hope to participate in investment. I am very optimistic about this project."

"Of course, I invite you to join because I hope to have a greater say. This director from the East is a bit difficult to deal with. He doesn't know that investment is easy to get, but splitting accounts is not calculated that way."

Warner also had his own calculations. The 6-cent quota requested by Wei Jin was too much, but judging from his appearance, he might not get the project if he didn't agree, so he simply agreed first.

As for the subsequent operations, it is nothing more than dividing the accounting areas. Investors can enjoy what kind of accounting according to the resources they can provide. This is the correct way to open Hollywood.

Lar Leon's entry into the game will not only dilute Wei Jin's investment share, but also ensure the project's profitability. You must know that DiCaprio is now the most influential Hollywood star in the world. His joining will at least increase the project's profit expectations. More than 30%.

"Paul, with all due respect, I think it is better to speak clearly during formal discussions. Wei is an amazing person. As a Palme d'Or winner and Oscar director, he deserves our respect. Besides, as far as I know, The rise of Summit Entertainment is indispensable without his help."

Leon has great artistic pursuits. He is optimistic about Wei Jin and does not want to damage their relationship just because of a cooperation. After all, there is endless money to be made.

"Well Paul, maybe we can consider maintaining long-term cooperation with Wei. In fact, Summit Entertainment cannot fully absorb the scripts he registered. This is an opportunity."

Nolan also tried to persuade him that he was a pure filmmaker and didn't want to get involved so much, not to mention that he was really interested in Wei Jin's other scripts.

"Well, let me think about it again, think about it again"

The persuasion of the two people worked to a certain extent, and Paul was already thinking about how to get along with this Oriental director.

While waiting for Warner to release the budget, Wei Jin was not idle and met with William.

"William, you really impress me. You actually lost weight so fast."

After not seeing each other for half a year, this guy has actually returned to his original elite appearance. He is very perseverant.

"Boss, I have to stay healthy and be at your service at any time."

Seeing the wealth under his management growing exponentially, William made up his mind to live well and enjoy the fruits of victory with his boss, but this did not affect his ability to show his loyalty in front of his boss.

"Okay, have all the goods on hand been closed?"

As a financial man in his previous life, Wei Jin would not miss this big market trend in North America. At the beginning of last year, he ordered William to sweep away a large number of A-level and above CDS on the market.

"According to your instructions, we have been taking action since half a year ago. This time, the profit is probably more than ten times."

When he said this, the expression on William's face became more respectful. Wei Jin's decision-making was so amazing.

As a senior investor, William had actually been aware of the problems in the subprime mortgage market for a long time, but he did not have the courage to gamble, but Wei Jin dared and was quite decisive.

"Well, that's good. By the way, how is the development of the Riot project going?"

This company is a North American game company that Wei Jin doesn't know much about. In 06, it had absolute control, and the founding team currently holds less than 3% of its shares.

"It is still undergoing internal testing, and it is estimated that it will not be online until early next year."

William never discounted Wei Jin's demands. This man was like a god in his eyes. "Well, I keep this in mind. In addition, we can start with the list in the information. Be careful not to expose it."

"Understood, boss."

Domestic, Beijing, inside China Film Office.

Secretary Xiao Yang looked at Han Sanping who hung up the phone and felt a little strange. Is the leader so happy that the old tree is blooming or that he is a father?

"Xiao Yang, call Zhang Wei over, right away."

Realizing that he had lost his composure in front of his subordinates, Han Sanping regained his dignity and said:

"Okay, Director Han."

Xiao Yang said while exiting the office to make a phone call.

After the secretary left, Han Sanping sat back on the boss's chair and recalled the phone call just now. The smile on his face could not be stopped at all, and he could not see the ferocious appearance of the mountain eagle at all.

Han Sanping really didn't expect that Wei Jin would bring such a big surprise. It was a project worth more than 100 million US dollars. It was still a collaboration with Warner Bros., directed by Nolan, and it was said that DiCaprio was also interested in starring. It was like sitting at home, feeling happy from heaven.

However, it is a pity for Han Sanping that the influence of China Film is limited to Asia. This cooperation will probably only get the distribution and distribution in Asia. Wei Jin has negotiated in advance on the phone.

Of course, Han Sanping also knew Wei Jin's purpose of attracting China Film. After all, the right to approve imported films is in the hands of China Film. The domestic market is not big or small, and it has box office potential of tens of millions of dollars.

Moreover, Wei Jin's vision has always been accurate. He provided the script this time, so there will definitely be no problem in making a profit. You know, "Twilight" made China Film Group Corporation earn at least 2 million.

Seeing that several of China Film's projects this year are not making much progress, Han Sanping is also a little anxious. Wei Jin's move can be said to be timely.

"This boy is so sensible, and the beauty is already in her twenties, so he is quite a match. No, this boy is too romantic."

"Director Han, are you looking for me?"

A voice interrupted Han Sanping's random thoughts.

The person who came was a man who looked a little lean. He was Zhang Wei, the person in charge of China Film's foreign investment.

"Zhang Wei, sit down first, that's it"

Han Sanping immediately explained the project situation and the bottom line of the negotiation, and asked Zhang Wei to quickly go to North America.

While Han Sanping was overjoyed and planning with Warner, Wei Jin was having an artistic exchange with Theron.

Theron is worthy of being the Berlin Best Actress. She can handle various states of rejection, refusal, and dissatisfaction. However, the actor is in such excellent condition, which is perfect for the director. Wei Jin believes that this is definitely the case. An artistic exchange that can sublimate the soul.

Sure enough, after more than an hour, Theron's whole person was sublimated, exuding a charming aura from the inside out.

"Wei, you are so awesome, I think I can't live without you."

"Oh, Theron, thank you for your compliment. You are great too, but a free soul should not be restrained. Just like an actor and a director, once they form a fixed partnership, it will be difficult to create wonderful sparks."

Wei Jin was a little nervous and was afraid that Theron would say something sarcastic. In his impression, this girl was very free and easy. Could it be that he was too strong?

"Oh, Wei, you are such a scumbag, you actually talk about playing with emotions so fresh and refined."

Theron didn't know what was going on. In the past six months or so since her exchange with Wei Jin Art, she often thought of the happiness he brought to her. Even her boyfriend Stewart couldn't make her excited, which made her a little scared.

"Theron, you are wrong. I never play with emotions. I am always responsible to the end."

Wei Jin spoke righteously, and he was indeed responsible. In the end, unless he took an unusual path.

"Okay, I know you are a prodigal, but are you sure you can take responsibility to the end?"

Although Theron was a little disappointed, he still adjusted his mood. Since he can't have it for a long time, he should enjoy it while he has the opportunity.

Listening to the woman's provocative words, Wei Jin felt angry and jealous, and decided to give this woman a lesson.

Soon the sage's time passed, and the sound of applause resounded in the room, followed by screams and shouts. Those who didn't know thought they were watching some sports event.
