Legendary Hollywood Producer

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Shulman went to the airport, preparing to return to North America, and Roman followed him to see him off.

After Schulman entered, the time came to 7 o'clock, and Roman went back to the hotel.

After 7 o'clock, it was also time for dinner. At the hotel, Roman suddenly wanted to go outside for a meal, so he called a taxi to Beitaipingzhuang because the driver sent by China Film had already been called back by him.

The taxi drove along the Third Ring Road, and it didn't take long to reach the place where Luo Man wanted to go-a Yangxiezi hot pot restaurant.

On a whim, Roman suddenly wanted to eat this, and this place was something he had heard about before, and he had never tried it. He just wanted to eat it today, so he ran over.

It just happened to be a meal right now, and there were a lot of people in the lobby. The waiter put on a white towel and watched the foreigner Roman come in. He also quickly found a free place and arranged for him.

Roman, who was already a little hungry, felt even more hungry as he felt the atmosphere around him. I didn’t even bother to conceal the fact that I was very good at Chinese. I spoke to the waiter who was still trying to talk in English in Mandarin with a slight Hunan flavor, “A sheep scorpion hot pot, a medium portion, and a plate of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum. Two plates of beef." Roman, who ordered the meal, waited for the dishes to come.

People around him looked at him from time to time, maybe when he just ordered, Roman was too surprised, but the old Beijing people hadn't seen any scenes, and a little bit of curiosity passed away. It's not that they haven't seen foreigners.

The waiter brought the pot up, and then boiled it again.

Slowly boil over charcoal fire, the full-flavored lamb scorpion in the sauce, and the unique flavor of the spice, mixed together to increase the appetite.

Roman took the chopsticks, watched the soup bubble in the pot, reached out and picked a piece out.

Sheep scorpion stew is not only delicious, but also very hot. With a slight shake with the chopsticks, the meat fell loosely into the bowl. Halfway through the meal, Roman put the chrysanthemum and a plate of beef into the soup for blanching. When the color of the beef changed, it tasted very good when it was picked up and eaten in the mouth.

The moon slowly climbed high into the sky, except for a little chrysanthemum and beef, everything else entered into Roman's belly. Tonight was undoubtedly a bit too much to eat. When he got up to check out, Roman felt a little bit braced.

In fact, it's not how delicious the food here is. After all, Roman has a wealth of wealth, and his food is pretty good on weekdays. Burbank's family also hired a chef to take care of his meals. Maybe it's the atmosphere here. The people around are eating very refreshingly, and even taking Roman can't help being greedy.

Roman, who was very full, took a taxi on the side of the street and returned to the hotel.

In the study, Roman began to calculate how to work together with Chairman Han and the others tomorrow. After all, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox will join this time, so they need to make a good total. After sorting out his thoughts, it was late at night, and Roman, who couldn't resist the sleepiness, climbed into bed and rested. Well, tomorrow is another good day.

......

At noon, after Roman and Chairman Han had eaten together, they chatted a few words with each other and got into the topic.

Roman took out the original novel of "The Devil Wearing Prada" and said to everyone, "This time, the movie that Manhai Entertainment plans to shoot is an adaptation of this very popular novel in North America. Although the funding is not yet clear, it needs at least 50 million US dollars. I want to invite many top models to join the fashion week show of this film. This is a very good selling point."

Chairman Han and others listened to them and didn’t make any comments indiscriminately. There were no plans. It’s hard to imagine the scene of this movie based on imagination. However, their consistent successful cooperation has convinced them of Roman. So they all nodded for Roman to continue speaking.

"If the investment is okay, let's move on to the next step." Roman relaxed his sitting position and continued, "This movie is based on a best-selling novel, so the author naturally owns 5% of the North American box office profits. That’s it. Moreover, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox bought the copyright for the adaptation of the novel, so the two will also join this collaboration."

When Roman said this, he also stopped. He wanted to know everyone's views.

Did Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox also join in? Chairman Han also exchanged views with the heads of mainland production companies present. After unifying their opinions, Chairman Han said, "Roman, you What's your opinion? Let's listen to you." Anyway, Roman still has to cooperate with them this time, that's enough, no matter how much it accounts for, it's not for them to decide.

"I am positive about their joining, and according to what Paramount Pictures revealed, the two of them may add up to about 15 million US dollars. More support is in terms of channel resources. Well, the US$8 million spent by Paramount Pictures to buy the copyright will also be included in the production cost.” Of course, Roman himself welcomes them to join, just as he wants to maintain a good relationship with the mainland, and is also the most important to the Big Six. Fortunately, the interests can be colluded together, so that the company can develop more smoothly.

"Then how much do we need to invest, and what proportion?" Chairman Han asked again on behalf of everyone.

"My plan is for Manhai Entertainment to provide 10 million U.S. dollars, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox will provide 15 million U.S. dollars together. You can add up the remaining funds. If you account for the proportion, this is the case." I organized the language and said, “After deducting the 5% of the author’s ownership of the North American box office profit, the rest is still divided according to the investment ratio, while the distribution work in the overseas market is funded by 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures. The industry is working together, so they will give priority to 40% of the proportion, and the rest will be calculated after deducting the profit due to the theater and various taxes. The money will probably be fully used in the movie. We will slowly return to our hands after the downgrade. You have to have a psychological plan." In the past, the movies shot by Manhai Entertainment were given priority to extract profits. This time, because two distribution companies are involved, accounts The problem of having to wait until they are settled first.

Roman watched everyone understand what he meant, and he also came up with the contract that he had prepared long ago. After everyone had signed it, the cooperation this time also began.
