Chapter 645 News
The changes in the expressions of Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong were naturally noticed by Yang Ming, and they were obviously attracted to each other.
The script of "Dragon 007: GoldenEye" was naturally adapted by Yang Ming based on the 007 series of movies in his previous life. The whole world has changed drastically in this world, and even this classic 007 movie has disappeared. This makes Yang Ming sigh, but still
It just gave him the opportunity to open a golden finger.
In the original plot, he only modified the background settings, but he didn't make much changes to the plot.
Just change the plot of the British saving the world and saving mankind to the Chinese.
In fact, all Hollywood blockbusters are like this. Americans save the earth and save the world, and they only succeed at the last second. The hero breaks out of the encirclement without being killed, and everyone cheers and applauds.
.
All Hollywood hero films follow this routine, and they have proven successful over and over again, earning huge box office sales around the world. This has to be said to be a miracle.
After a moment, Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong made eye contact and immediately made a decision. Wang Qidong raised his head and said: "Mr. Yang, I have accepted this series of movies. There is no problem for Taidong to sign a ten-year contract!"
"Mr. Yang, I don't want to miss such a good opportunity!" Lu Taidong also said sincerely. Although the ten-year contract is a little longer, this Dragon Agent series movie is worth his efforts.
Yang Ming also laughed when he heard this and said, "That's good!"
In fact, a ten-year contract is really nothing compared to the gains.
In his previous life, Pierce Brosnan, the fifth 007 actor, was also a tepid star. However, after he successfully shaped the image of 007, his net worth soared and his status in the film industry increased so quickly that
People were stunned.
Moreover, in the subsequent 007 films, every Bond girl has also benefited from it. Any actress who has been a "Bond Girl" will immediately become an upstart in the entertainment industry, and the situation is great.
This is the charm of this series of movies.
Of course, Yang Ming also knows that this generation of "Dragon" does not have the accumulation of previous classic 007 movies and has accumulated a lot of fame like the previous one.
But he believes that as long as the first "GoldenEye" can be an instant hit, he believes that the next few 007 films will definitely not be inferior to the previous ones.
"Mr. Lu, Sister Zhu will discuss the agency contract with you later. I will not treat you badly. I can guarantee that as long as the box office of "Golden Eye" does not reach the local box office of 300 million, then our Oriental DreamWorks will unconditionally negotiate with you.
You terminate the contract!" Yang Ming said loudly with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Lu Taidong really didn't expect that Yang Ming would make such a decision. It can be seen that the other party really wanted to recruit him and signed the agency contract with him. At this moment, he really felt at ease.
Wang Qidong looked at everything with a smile and sincerely admired Yang Ming's domineering approach. It also showed Yang Ming's confidence in his script and made Wang Qidong full of energy at the moment. He couldn't wait to start filming.
of**.
However, he thought for a moment, and after a while, he slowly said: "Actually, the reason why the company wants to sign a ten-year contract with Taidong must be for the sake of this movie. So, can we sign a ten-movie contract?
When the time comes, the contract will state that all the filming of the Dragon Agent series will be given priority, Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
Yang Ming thought the same thing. The reason why he wanted to sign a ten-year long-term contract with Lu Taidong was because he was afraid that if Lu Taidong became popular, he would be poached by other companies, which would prevent subsequent sequels from being filmed.
There are no other issues.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "It's not a big problem. Let's wait for Sister Zhu to come over and talk to you about the specific matters!"
At this time, Yang Ming finally understood why the position of agent existed.
Although the brothers have settled the accounts, Yang Ming is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of calculus. If an agent negotiates on behalf of both parties, even if the negotiation breaks down, there will still be a slight leeway for both parties.
In this way, the role of the broker is fully demonstrated.
When Wang Qidong heard this, he didn't say anything else. They were all people who had been in the entertainment industry for many years and understood the rules of this kind of agency contract negotiation. Then, he asked with a hint of concern: "What about the first "Dragon Group"
"Agent", how much does the company plan to spend on filming?"
When he raised this issue, Lu Taidong also pricked up his ears. As the star of this movie, he was naturally very concerned about this issue.
When Yang Ming heard the question raised by Wang Qidong, he thought for a moment, raised his finger and said: "100 million!"
--hiss
Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong both gasped in unison.
They really didn't expect that Yang Ming would give such a huge filming cost budget.
You must know that before, the two of them were still entangled and regretful that their movie box office never exceeded 100 million. Unexpectedly, they were now involved in the filming of this movie. The shooting cost budget alone reached 100 million, two yuan.
No one expected such treatment.
Not to mention Lu Taidong, even Wang Qidong, who had seen many big scenes, breathed heavily when he heard this number, and asked in surprise: "100 million?"
"Yes, 100 million!" Yang Ming nodded and confirmed.
Seeing Yang Ming's confirmation, Lu Taidong couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he felt lucky for his decision and that he had just agreed to Yang Ming's conditions.
A movie with a production cost of 100 million was something he had never dared to imagine before.
He believes that as long as he participates in the production of this movie as the leading male, his future in the entertainment industry will be limitless, and all previous disappointments will become a thing of the past.
Later, Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong discussed with Yang Ming the filming plan for the first "Secret Agent: GoldenEye" and then stood up to say goodbye.
After Yang Ming sent the two of them off, he just wanted to take a rest when he received a conversation from the other side of the ocean.
"Mr. Yang, the acquisition is almost over and is over!" Howard said on the phone in blunt Chinese.
"Very good, I'll rush there tomorrow!" Yang Ming was shocked when he heard this and immediately became excited.
During this period of time, he was so busy that he forgot about this important matter. As long as Howard succeeded in acquiring a film company in Hollywood in the United States according to his previous conditions, then he would have more invitations to Barber.
A certain degree of certainty.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately asked: "Howard, how is Barber's situation recently?"
Since he had dinner with Barber in a hotel last time, he knew that inviting the other party to join could not be done overnight, so he immediately rushed back to China to watch the World Cup finals with Susu and the others.
In addition, he was too busy with concert matters to pay attention to Barbour, so he didn't know much about the situation in Hollywood right now.
Upon hearing Yang Ming's question, Howard immediately laughed with some schadenfreude on the other end of the phone and said, "Mr. Barber may have been very unhappy recently!"
"Oh, what's wrong?" Yang Ming couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Because some media in Hollywood took photos of you and Barber having dinner together, and then they were published. I heard that Coakley, the boss of Pan American Entertainment, that congressman was very angry, so he used various means to
Dealing with Barber, the two sides are still having a war of words in the media! Many of Coakley's old contacts were exposed by Barber in the media, haha, this congressman is not having a good time now." Howard said with a smile.
Yang Ming was silent after hearing this. Although Coakley was having a hard time, Barber would certainly not be any better off either.
Kill a thousand enemies and injure yourself eight hundred!
Although Barber has exposed Coakley's background, his reputation in the entertainment industry is definitely no longer good. Even if others don't take the opportunity to pour cold water on the head of the former Pan American Entertainment O, Coakley will not let it go.
Over Barber's.
It seems the time has come.
"Okay, I understand. I will rush there tomorrow. Make sure the final procedures for the acquisition are completed as soon as possible!" Yang Ming instructed.
After getting Howard's assurance of patting his chest, Yang Ming hung up the phone, then thought for a while, and then immediately called Chen Yongjun. The last time he said he wanted to sell 20% of the shares of the Internet and Cable TV Company, it didn't matter.
I know how determined Chen Yongjun is.
Now that the company's business is in full swing, money is needed everywhere.
Not to mention the "2012" that Yang Ming has already started preparing for, there is also the "Dragon Agent" that has just been confirmed with a shooting budget of over 100 million, and the film "Shaolin Temple" that will be promoted for Shaolin Temple, it is estimated that it will take some time
, Laochai also needs to turn on the phone.
Coupled with the filming plans of other people in the company, it can be said that all the income generated from the box office of "One Shot to Fame" was spent by Yang Ming before it became popular.
We are short of money now!
"Haha, is it Yang Ming? I just wanted to call you, but I didn't expect you had already called me." Chen Yongjun said with a hearty smile on the phone.
"Is the matter done?" Yang Ming asked.
When Chen Yongjun heard Yang Ming's words, he immediately said: "Well, it's 1.2 billion in total. Ye Laosan is also a happy person. I told him that they only chose because you have helped and owe you a favor."
Sell the shares to you at this time, otherwise they will definitely choose to wait until the company is listed before selling them, and there will definitely be no problem if the price triples."
"Ye Laosan heard what I said and learned that you were willing to transfer the shares, so he immediately offered a price of 1.2 billion! Haha!" At the end of the sentence, Chen Yongjun couldn't help laughing proudly. Obviously, he was grateful to Ye Laosan for giving him face.
Also very satisfied.
Yang Ming was very happy when he heard this. This was 200 million more than his previous estimate of 1 billion. It seemed that this descendant of the Ye family was not too sinister.
"Okay, no problem, let's go through the procedures later!" Yang Ming said.
Before hanging up the phone, Chen Yongjun suddenly said: "By the way, Yang Ming, Ye Laosan just asked me to tell you that the second son of the Zhang family was released from prison yesterday!"
When Yang Ming heard the news, his heart sank. The father of the third son of the Ye family is a senior official in the police system. As a descendant of the Ye family, he must be relatively aware of the news in the system. It seems that this news must be true.
.
"I understand, please tell him for me to thank him for his kindness." Yang Ming said calmly.
Chapter completed!
