Chapter 14 - Transaction Negotiations for the Follow-up Copyright of Chainsaw Cry

Then he snorted and left unhappily.

It seems that Kevin's first enemy in the good Levin was born like this.

"Kevin, Harvey Weinstein is a big man. If you offend him, you'll be fine."

Angelina Jolie's face was gloomy and uncertain. She said so, in fact, she was somewhat uneasy for herself.

Just because Kevin isn't afraid of Harvey Weinstein doesn't mean she isn't.

"An independent filmmaker, what's the matter."

"There are many people who want to work with me, and there is no shortage of Aries like him."

"Julie, you have to be careful in the future. Harvey Weinstein's favorite thing is to deceive the bodies of those little girls in the name of the Oscars."

Angelina Jolie looked puzzled.

"Did he fail to win the prize?"

Kevin shook his head.

"No, he does have a knack for winning awards, but he likes whoring for free."

"Harvey Weinstein is known to not keep his promises."

Angelina Jolie's face was speechless.

This kind of person is what they are most afraid of encountering with these little models who want to change their fate.

Generally speaking, the bigger the person, the less likely this kind of thing will happen.

I didn't expect that a big man like Harvey Weinstein would not keep his promise...

I don't know if the director in front of her will meet her goals.

Judging from his exposure to Harvey Weinstein, and his words, he seems to be a very committed person...

Angelina Jolie was still thinking about it.

After Harvey Weinstein discovered Kevin, it seemed that the news had spread, and there were several female models one after another, or female stars of the third and fourth tiers came over.

They were all rejected by Kevin in the name of Angelina Jolie, so these women have cast envy and hatred for Angelina Jolie, and they can't wait to treat her.

And Angelina Jolie also brazenly pretended to be a female companion and stopped the other women who approached one by one.

Immediately after that, Ovitz, who had disappeared for a long time, came over with a middle-aged white male with a bald head and no beard.

As soon as he came over, Ovitz generously introduced the identities of the people around him to Kevin.

"Jeff Robinoff, president of Warner Bros. Pictures."

"Kevin, the director of Chainsaw!"

Ovitz pulled the two together.

After Ovitz introduced the identities of the two, Jeff Robinoff also spoke.

"Director Kevin, your Chainsaw is amazing, I've never seen such a good horror movie."

"The jigsaw deeply aroused people's attention to life..."

Jeff Robinoff raved about Kevin's films, apparently knowing that every director has a lot of confidence in his work.

Therefore, praising their works is more effective than praising themselves.

Of course Kevin knows his idea, but this is a relationship between people. If someone praises you, you can't slap people with a black face.

"Thank you for your compliment."

Kevin responded with a smile on his face.

Angelina Jolie on the side didn't dare to speak at all. The three people in front of her were all big people in her eyes, and she could get a lot of resources if she flattered with any one.

But compared with the other two, Kevin was the one who made her feel the least disadvantaged.

No way, twenty-three-year-old Kevin, at this time, is not inferior to some Hollywood stars. Even if he is not a director, Angelina Jolie is willing to interact with him and experience the relationship between men and women. that thing.

At this time, the three of them were talking, and Julie didn't dare to interrupt, but just stood quietly beside Kevin.

Looking at Kevin with admiration.

Obviously, she understands certain psychology of men.

After a few words of conversation, Jeff Robinoff went straight to the point.

"Do you have an idea for Kevin's next work? Or do you want to make a sequel to Chainsaw?"

"No no no, I'm not interested in doing any sequels, at least for now."

"I'm going to sell the copyright of Chainsaw to those who are interested, and I'm going to make another horror movie myself, but it's completely different from Chainsaw."

Kevin deliberately revealed that the copyright of Chainsaw was in his own hands, and as expected, Jeff Robinoff was very interested in it.

"Oh? You own the copyright of Chainsaw? Director Kevin, what price do you want to sell?"

People in Hollywood are all human beings, and naturally they know how much interest the copyright of Chainsaw has in the back.

According to Warner Bros. internal analysis, Chainsaw's global box office is expected to exceed $100 million at the box office.

For a horror movie, this is enough to make the chainsaw panic directly.

The structure of the play is also very suitable for shooting a sequel. As long as the script is not too bad and the director is a little bit skilled, it is destined to make money, but it is just a matter of making more money and making less.

Chainsaw will bring in more than $100 million in total profits for New Line Cinema, which they know through various statistics.

Including a series of total profits from external licensing of film images, DVDs, and TV broadcasts.

This data, no matter who is in front of them, is enough to make them greedy.

Such a gold mine has a chance to fall out.

Jeff Robinoff certainly wanted to take this opportunity to take it straight.

Kevin smiled and shook his head:

"Let's talk about it after Chainsaw's release. I'll be better able to carry out my new project then."

Jeff Robinoff nodded and didn't force it. Based on his relationship with CAA President Ovitz, as long as the price offered by Warner Bros. was right, Kevin had no reason to choose other film companies.

In terms of Warner Bros.'s status in Hollywood, there are too few forces that can be compared with them, too few.

Fair competition, they are not afraid of anyone.

"Kevin, have fun, I have something to do with Ovitz, so I won't delay you having a good time here."

Speaking of which, Jeff Robinoff casts ambiguous glances at Kevin and Angelina Jolie

Then left with Ovitz.

"Kevin, you are amazing."

As soon as the two left, Angelina Jolie said excitedly.

Kevin spoke with these big people, and did not fall behind at all, which made Angelina Jolie watch with excitement.

In addition to admiration, the eyes that looked at Kevin were more emotional.

Facing this look, Kevin couldn't bear it any longer. He and Julie left the party ahead of schedule and headed towards the hotel where Kevin was staying.

As soon as she entered the room, Angelina Jolie couldn't wait to throw Kevin on the bed, and then...

...

The next day, the October sun shone on the two of them with warm heat.

Wake Kevin and Julie from their sleep.

"Honey, go and pull the window."

Hearing Kevin's instructions, Julie got up obediently, exposed her body in front of him, and then walked to the window and pulled the curtains directly.

Then, in Kevin's greeting, he lay down in his arms again.

Kevin was about to exercise with Julie in the morning when he heard the phone ringing, answered the phone, and heard the voice of his agent Dawson on the other end.

"Kevin, Shay, president of New Line Cinema, wants to talk to you about the copyright of Chainsaw."

Kevin was suddenly shocked, and the big fish came.

The copyright of Chainsaw was when he made a fortune, and the split was worth a few dollars (millions of dollars).

"No problem, Dawson, come here too, and get me a legal counsel."

"Okay, there are many lawyers in our CAA, I'll find one."

"OK, see you at New Line Cinema at 2:30 in the afternoon."

After Kevin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, his face hard to hide his excitement.

"Kevin, what's wrong?"

Julie looked at Kevin so happy and couldn't help asking.

It's not a secret either, Kevin didn't plan to hide it from anyone, and said directly:

"The follow-up copyright of Chainsaw is in my hands, and New Line Films wants to buy all of them directly."

"I estimate at least $20 million."

This is the bottom line in Kevin's mind. There is no problem with the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw, which is worth one or two billion dollars.

But if you want to make this money, you must have enough background in Hollywood to be able to digest it.

In Hollywood, there are only a dozen or so film companies that have this strength, and they have their own internal common rules.

It is impossible to pay too high a price for this copyright.

$20 million to $30 million is their limit, and the only person who can pay the most for the rights is New Line Cinema.

In fact, Kevin did not intend to sell to anyone else.

Twenty million dollars?

Angelina Jolie was shocked.

The average monthly income of Americans is about 3,000 US dollars, and from the perspective of Americans' habit of spending in advance, the vast majority of people may not even be able to pull out a thousand dollars in cash.

It's almost the same for a lower-middle-class model like her.

Twenty million dollars is money she can't make in ten, no, one hundred, lifetimes.

At this time, Angelina Jolie suddenly had the idea of ​​becoming Kevin's wife. Thanks to the legal provisions of the United States, once the two get married, all of Kevin's income will be counted as the joint income of the two. .

In this way, Angelina Jolie can instantly become the wife of a multi-millionaire.

The idea is so tempting.

Think and act.

"Kevin~~~"

"?"

Kevin looked at Julie for unknown reasons, and saw that she had turned over again, trying to take the initiative.

This made Kevin sigh that being young means good health, and then he fought against Julie again.

It's still early in the afternoon, and he can get up to eat after another round...

.....

Sitting in a high-end Chinese restaurant, Kevin ordered a few dishes, and after ordering someone to deliver some good dishes to the hotel, he ate slowly.

Chinese food has never been a common meal for the underclass in the United States.

different from China.

Thanks to the development of aquaculture, or the use of drugs.

American meat is much cheaper than greens.

And Huaguo's mode of matching meat and vegetables obviously uses a lot of vegetables that are not cheap, which also makes Chinese food not cheap.

This meal, more than two hundred dollars, is obviously not affordable for ordinary working class.
