Tom Thorneberg was not surprised at all, because when he came here he expected the possibility of meeting Eric Lomis.

However, he didn't expect to meet Nicky Rocco from Universal here. When he saw Nicky Rocco, he knew what the other party wanted to do.

Universal is not MGM, and Universal Pictures is much better than MGM.

Both the operation and the funds are far better. This year, "The Fake God", "Hulk", "Fast and Furious 2", "Penting Age", and "American Pie: American Wedding" have already had five films of over 100 million.

It is the most box office movies among Hollywood Pictures companies this year, and the future is bright.

So Global is not short of money. If Global competes with him and MGM for Chen Tian, ​​this is not good news.

Eric Lomis had a smile on his face, but he was uneasy.

He and Tom Thorneberg had the same idea, not to mention that he had to worry about the Lions Gate.

Among the three companies, MGM is undoubtedly the most weakest.

Chen Tian himself did not expect that Global would come here to find him directly, without any signs before.

"Nicky, Tom, why are you two free to come here? Do you want a cup of coffee?" Eric Lomis asked with a smile.

Nicki Rocco smiled and shrugged: "I will definitely be willing if you treat me."

"Of course, I treat you, Tom?"

"I'm fine, I think we might have the same purpose, and maybe some problems can be solved if the three of us talk together."

Tom Thorneberg guessed right, they all came for "This Man from Earth".

Although they have not watched this video yet, Chen Tian has now accumulated his reputation and gives people the feeling that this video will definitely not be bad.

Eric Lomis nodded and said to Chen Tian: "Justin. I'll leave this to yourself, don't be polite.

They will help you, and find Brown directly if you need anything, he is the person in charge here.”

"Don't worry, Eric, it's my honor to serve director Justin."

Chen Tian looked at the three of them and left with a smile. He also knew in his heart what they were thinking.

Natalie Portman pushed Scarlett: "Manny, your Justin is telling us how popular he is?"

Scarlett was also happy for Chen Tian when he saw three major companies coming to find Chen Tian.

"Nata, are you laughing at me? I'm thinking clearly, shoot your MV first, and Manni and I will also participate." Chen Tian wanted Scarlett to play another male character in the original MV.

Chen Tian is preparing to play the role of the original host of "Saturday Night Show". Everything is ready in the set studio.

Natalie Portman's performance needs to be wild, and the short hair style in the original MV is very classic.

In fact, Natalie Portman's short hair style is even no less than her long hair image, and she is also very elegant and charming when she is short.

Chen Tian plans to let her use short hair in this MV, but here he won't let Natalie Portman shave her short hair for this MV.

"Nata, I need you to wear a short hair hood later. You should have a look at the specific script. We'll shoot later."

Natalie Portman nodded: "No problem, if it's possible.

I think it's better to just shave it into short hair, I hate headbands."

Although the MV was not long, it only took six minutes.

However, the participants and scale are not small, and there are many scenes of Natalie Portman smashing things. Although it is in the set shed, the cost is not cheap.

The cost of this MV is $30,000. This is built on MGM that provides free sets.

Scarlett's MV cost is not that high, and only five or six extras are needed. Although there are a lot of props, they don't need to destroy things.

While Chen Tian was filming the MV, middle-level managers of three film companies in a nearby cafe were sitting by the window talking.

"Nicky, you guys don't want Justin, and don't you hate him?

You must have been opposed by many people this time, and they must have proposed a share agreement similar to Justin." Eric Lomis asked with a smile.

Nicky Rocco curled his lips: "Eric, what do you think? That's for sure."

"That must be a headache, isn't it?" Tom Thorenberg continued with a smile.

"If you don't have a headache, it's definitely fake, just like Justin said. If someone can guarantee the corresponding profit, I don't mind giving him such a share agreement.

I am going to implement a plan that may be used for your reference, which can solve this problem."

Nicki Rocco's plan was designed to deal with those who proposed Chen Tian's share agreement. Looking at the two people who were very interested, Nicki Rocco continued: "I am going to sign the corresponding contract with those who I am optimistic about and are reluctant to give up, but they do not compromise but are blindly trying to make a high share.

For example, they brought a video. I think it's good. They don't agree with our previous share agreement, so I'll agree to them first.

But when you agree, you have to sign a contract, and you must reach a profit point before you can get the share that meets the share agreement.

If it cannot be achieved, then he will not give such a high share, and even give him a contract that is lower than the agreement I am willing to give.

Everything is rewarded only by effort, and if they want to get a higher share agreement, they need to pay a certain risk.

I let them choose for themselves, if they choose to take risks, OK, I have nothing to say, as for how much they get in the end, that's not what I control.

What do you think of this idea? Isn’t it pretty good?”

"Aren't you worried that they won't agree and go to other companies?" The two recent videos Eck Lomis talked about collapsed, and then went directly to other companies.

Nicki Rocco's idea is really good. He takes the initiative into his own hands. Once the other party cannot bring corresponding profits to the company, he does not need to pay more.

"Nicky, your idea is great, okay, let's not talk about other topics.

I came to the statement that Lions Gate wanted the right to publish "This Man from Earth"." Tom Thorenberg was unwilling to go around the circle and directly pointed out the purpose of this trip.

"Okay, I'm here for this too.

I heard that Justin was going to shoot the MV here today, so I came uninvited, Eric, this is your territory." Nicky Rocco waved his hand and looked apologetic.

Ek Lomis breathed a sigh of relief. Things were the same as he thought: "It seems that we thought the same. Tom actually had a suggestion, that is, the three of us make a decision first, so that we can avoid more losses.

To be honest, if the three of us contact Justin alone, then we are in a passive position.

If the three of us reach a consensus here. For example, if we two cannot accept Tom's bid, we can directly withdraw.

Tom can also give as little as possible, right?”

Tom Thorneberg thinks Eric Lomis is right. The share agreement was very high to get Chen Tian back together, but it does not mean that the Lions Gate will always follow this standard.

“We have given the highest share agreement in Saw, and it is impossible to be higher.

But this video is a low-cost science fiction film. The share agreement will not be higher than the chainsaw, this is our last bargaining chip.”

“You all have precedents of working with Justin, I’m a newcomer, and we are not bad at all in the world.

But you know that doing our job will never be satisfied, so I want to try it.

The highest chip we can give is actually the Lions Gate, but this chip is really too high, and it would be better if it can be reduced." Nicky Rocco also came to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Chen Tian.

He hopes that "This Man from Earth" will become the stepping stone for cooperation. For Universal, it does not necessarily require Chen Tian to invest in and shoot the film himself.

Universal is not short of good scripts, or even good directors, but not every director can save money and bring high returns like Chen Tian.

Moreover, Chen Tian is very good at shooting thriller films. Global hopes to hand over the thriller film "Master Key" to Chen Tian and let Chen Tian take the initiative to shoot.

If the opportunity is right, some other videos will be handed over to Chen Tian to shoot. This is the biggest purpose of Nicky Rocco's trip.

Eric Lomis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the two of them, and it was not too outrageous.

However, it is indeed not easy to ask MGM to open a Lions Gate to Chen Tian for the share of the chainsaw, and the idiots at the top will definitely not agree.

Chen Tian looked at the monitor, and Natalie Portman with short hair under the monitor jumped exaggeratedly, singing RAP while jumping.

This time, Chen Tian still imitated the original MV. Chen Tian still planned to use black and white lenses to express the content.

This way it looks like a documentary, and although it is not color, it can give people a more realistic feeling.

He contacted NBC last night and followed the interview mode of the original film "Saturday Night Live".

Of course, there is another reason because there is a lyric in it that is related to making a joke on the NBC president, and NBC agreed to this lyrics.

They asked to play on NBC platform, but NBC will pay Chen Tian 1 million US dollars to buy out the right to issue the TV platform.

At the same time, Chen Tian agreed to all the words MV sponsorship in the MV.

Chen Tian didn't know that the people from the three companies were discussing how to minimize the benefits paid to Chen Tian based on the successful cooperation.

After the three of them reached an unanimous idea, they left temporarily, waiting for the final release of "This Man from Earth".

Chen Tian was filming the MV on the set, and the progress was very fast. He completed the MV shooting of Natalie Portman at 2 pm.

Compared to being a guest star in Natalie Portman's MV, Chen Tian will play the role of a paparazzi in Scarlett's MV.

The corresponding Scarlett's MV is simpler, and it took four hours to shoot all two MVs.

Chen Tian also officially announced on his official website that "This Man from Earth" will be released in half a month.

At the same time, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johnson's music debut will be officially released in three days.
