Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 56 The movie will be broadcast, cutting off the future (please read it later)
People who drive like to listen to the radio.

The same is true for American drivers.

The news on the recent midnight radio is very interesting.

The host connected with a woman with a nice voice:

"…Host, I suspect my husband has been replaced by someone else."

The host didn't take it seriously: "Oh, then you should call the police, ma'am."

"No! They look exactly the same, even their fingerprints and blood type are the same!"

The host became interested: "Then how do you know the person has been replaced?"

After his repeated questioning.

The woman finally told the truth: "He has become smaller."

"Please elaborate, ma'am," the host became excited. He smelled something fun.

"I can't be mistaken. He was circumcised before, but not now!"

"Oh, that's not common!"

"So, my husband has been replaced by someone else. I heard that when a comet passes by, a passage to a parallel world will open. Do you think he is another him from a parallel world?"

Xinxian found dozens of people and made calls to major radio stations.

Some said that their wives changed and their underwear size changed.

Some said that their lovers were much stronger than before, and after careful questioning, they admitted that they had been to the prostitute, but they clearly had not.

……

Suspense news, plus some dirty tricks.

It spread very quickly.

The discussion about the parallel world and another me was noticed by major media in just one week.

Fox Entertainment Channel, Yahoo Entertainment, The Hollywood Reporter...all followed suit.

Then, New Line took the opportunity to release the trailer for Comet!
There was a lot of criticism across America, but there were still many people who were curious.

"Done!" Robert shouted at Tang Wen, "Eight hundred copies, and the film will be shown on 800 screens when it opens!"

Compared to the 34000 screens across the United States, this scale is insignificant.

But considering the production cost of 15 US dollars.

The box office is worth looking forward to.

"When are you going to prepare for Saw?"

Tang Wen did not hide it: "I want to hold the copyright of this play in my hands."

The smile on Robert's face disappeared instantly, and he was as serious as a police dog: "You want to be an enemy of Hollywood?"

"It's not me, it's us." Tang Wen stretched out his finger and pointed at him.

"What!" Robert was moved. He looked around and pulled Tang Wen to a corner. He stared into his eyes and asked, "What did you say?"

"You have good execution skills and good connections in Hollywood. You'd be a good partner. I plan to work with you to develop the Saw series."

"Series?" Robert suddenly felt a little breathless and loosened his tie: "You are so confident that it can succeed?"

Tang Wen patted his shoulder and said, "With an investment of less than one million, the box office should be at least ten million. At the very worst, we can recoup the cost quickly through offline video rental."

Robert looked at the storyboards and the script outline and realized that this was a good business.

He thought for a while and said, "I'll offer $100 million."

"Okay, I'll give you 8%."

"F**k!" Robert cursed, "Don, you have a heart darker than the black-hearted wolves on Wall Street! I want 25%!"

"25%? Son of b!"

Tang Wen showed no weakness: "This is a series. I plan to release it regularly on Halloween, one per year. You might as well go grab it! I'll go find Lionsgate."

"F**k..."

As elites in the entertainment industry, both of them have demonstrated extremely high personal qualities.

In five minutes of negotiation, hundreds of fuck-ups were said.

Finally a difficult compromise was reached.

If the first film grosses over 10 million US dollars, Robert will only have a % stake.

Moreover, he also paid in full the cost of the second part.

If the box office is below 15 million US dollars, he will be given 60%, and he will bear % of the production costs of the second film.

"Believe me, you've made a lot of money." Tang Wen said sincerely.

"I hope so."

Tang Wen is Chinese, so it is destined to be difficult for him to reach a high position in Hollywood.

A capable and well-connected tool person is needed to take the lead. He is responsible for filming and enjoys the honor and money after the box office success.

Promotion, distribution, negotiations with theaters and actors, and other matters will all be handed over to Robert.

Therefore, the shares cannot be given too little.

If this happened in the country, there would be no need for such trouble, and Robert would not even be able to drink a sip of soup.

Tang Wenhui will directly seek cooperation with China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group.

Speaking of China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group.

Their twelve-day exchange visit ended.

Mr. Han and Mr. Ren are preparing to go back.

Yu Feihong plans to return to China with them.

She took on a TV series called "Chinese Football".

Partnered with Hu Jun and played the leading female role.

Tang Wen has no impression of this drama at all.

But at this time, the Chinese national football team is at its peak.

Next year's World Cup in Korea and Japan, the Chinese national football team may even make it to the qualification!
The whole country is paying attention to football this year.

Sister Yu wanted to act, and Tang Wen couldn't persuade her.

"Before I leave, there is one more thing I need to do."

"What?" Tang Wen was surprised.

Yu Feihong suddenly smiled charmingly and threw herself towards him.

Anyway, Bentley will enter a long maintenance period next.

If not now, when?
The next day, Yu Feihong fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane.

I slept for ten hours.

The female leader of Shanghai Film Studio, who was sitting next to her, enviously said after she woke up: "Young people, your sleep quality is so good. You don't even need to catch up on sleep after getting off the plane."

Thirty-year-old Yu Feihong's ears turned red with praise. She said something polite and got up to go to the bathroom.

Four Seasons Hotel Hollywood.

Tang Wen, who was writing a script, received a long-distance call from Xiao Ma Ge.

Tang Wen: "You mean, make my investment public to put pressure on MIH?"

"Yes." Xiao Ma Ge explained embarrassedly: "The company needs more funds for development."

Tang Wen thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to keep another 5% for me based on the original price."

"Do you want to invest again?" Xiao Ma Ge couldn't help but ask back.

"Well, I'll have some funds coming into my account in a month or two, so I'll just leave it there anyway."

The American version of "Comet" will be released in a few days.

By then, the system cashback + box office revenue should be quite a bit.

Both sides negotiated.

Xiao Ma Ge went to the media to expose Tang Wen’s investment.

[Genius director Tang Wen invested 750 million US dollars to acquire 12% of Penguin’s shares]

The title given by the formal media is quite standard.

Financial news, not so polite:

[Young directors invest in technology companies. Are they going astray or being deceived? ]

Internet companies have not yet struggled out of last year's bubble.

The market is generally pessimistic, so many investment companies are not optimistic, yet you, a director, invested.

If this isn’t being cheated, then what is?
The entertainment industry was shocked by Tang Wen’s financial resources!

That's 750 million US dollars.

More than 6000 million yuan!
People in the industry are going crazy: Are we and Director Tang in the same entertainment industry?
Entertainment reporters can't see Tang Wen.

They all targeted the presidents of major film and television companies and asked for their opinions.

When Huayi CEO Wang came out of the club, he was stopped by reporters:
"What 750 million US dollars? Where does Tang Wen get so much money?"

US$750 million.

Of course he didn't believe it, as it was higher than Huayi's total investment in film and television in the past three years.

Tang Wen was browsing a domestic website and saw this news and laughed.

What movie will Huayi produce in the next two years that will have good reputation and box office?
