The Relativity Building belongs to a very ordinary reception room on the Shahai Entertainment office floor. Julian Simpson looked at the fat man shook hands with her and felt a little depressed.

"Hello, Ms. Simpson." The fat man with slightly greasy hair introduced himself: "I am Reed Brewster from the Shahai Entertainment Production Department, welcome to Shahai Entertainment."

Julian Simpson piled up smiles: "Hello, Mr. Brewster."

Brewster got to the point: "Some time ago, someone recommended "Super Storm" to Shahai Entertainment. I read the script and it was well written."

"Thank you." Julian Simpson responded politely.

But she was quite disappointed. The person who received her was not Ronan Anderson, nor George Clint of Sand Sea Entertainment, or even other well-known figures, but just an inconspicuous fat man.

What is this fat man's position? Director of the production department? Obviously not, Dingtian is just a supervisor.

Is the situation different from what is expected?

Brewster didn't pay much attention and said directly: "Where is, on behalf of Shahai Entertainment, I will talk to you about buying out the script."

Julian Simpson frowned: "You are just going to buy out the script?"

"If Ms. Simpson is willing to sell it, Shahai Entertainment is willing to buy out all copyrights of the script, given that you are a member of the screenwriter's union, Shahai Entertainment is willing to buy out $25,000."

When Julian Simpson heard this price, his face suddenly became gloomy. These companies in Hollywood were too arrogant, and even the well-reputed Sand Sea Entertainment was not much better.

Is inspiration and creativity so worthless?

This almost hits the minimum transaction price of member scripts that the screenwriter union has imposed.

"Sorry." Julian Simpson packed up his mood and quickly returned to normal, saying, "Thank you very much for Shahai Entertainment's appreciation, but I can't accept such a price."

Brewster offered only the lowest price, and the authorized price he received was far more than $25,000.

But he did not raise the price easily, which was not conducive to negotiations: "Ms. Simpson, you can raise any requests."

Julian Simpson understands that there is still room for talk.

Selling the copyright of the script alone does not meet her interests.

Julian Simpson said tentatively: "Mr. Brewster, "Super Storm" is not just a script, but a movie project." She took out the preliminary plan for filming and production and placed it in front of Brewster: "This is the preliminary plan I have made..."

Brewster started to look through.

Julian Simpson said: "I hope to cooperate with Shahai Entertainment on the movie project "Super Storm."

Brewster didn't read it much, and after a while, he closed the plan and asked, "Ms. Simpson wants to be the director and producer of this project?"

Julian Simpson smiled: "Yes, this is a prerequisite for cooperation."

Brewster gently tapped his finger, which was completely inconsistent with the company's plan. His superiors told him very directly that the company purchased this script to enrich the script library for the time being, and there will be no shooting and production plans in the short term.

"I did it all from the initial creativity to the completion of the script," Julian Simpson was also fighting for himself: "I am the one who knows "Super Storm" best, and I have served as a director and producer before..."

Brewster interrupted her: "Ms. Simpson, Shahai Entertainment can invest $30,000 to buy out your script."

Julian Simpson took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and said, "I am the director of the company as the prerequisite for cooperation."

She gave in and stopped talking about the producer.

"I'm very sorry." Brewster said directly: "Shahai Entertainment is only interested in the script of "Super Storm."

At this point, the negotiations inevitably develop in the direction of collapse.

Julian Simpson was quite disappointed, and Brewster still left some room, took out his business card and put it in front of Julian Simpson: "Ms. Simpson, you can think about it when you go back. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."

Although I don’t want to accept a business card, considering that it is a path after all, Julian Simpson put away the business card: "I hope you can consider it too. I am very sincere in cooperation."

He made many psychological presets before, but in the face of a first-class production company like Shahai Entertainment, Julian Simpson unconsciously put himself in the position of a weak person.

The negotiations ended up not reaching any results, and Julian Simpson was inevitably disappointed when he came to the first floor of the Relativity Building.

Fortunately, I made some psychological preparations before, but I was not hit hard.

After walking out of the Relativity Building, getting in the car, talking to the agent, briefly talked about the situation, Julian Simpson started the car and prepared to leave Century City.

The cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

Julian Simpson took out his phone and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.

After connecting, a strange man said in a voice: "Hello, Ms. Simpson, I am the deputy director of the 20th Century Fox Film Production Department..."

After a call, Julian Simpson started the car and without even five minutes of use, he arrived at the Forks Building, also located in Century City.

Soon, she met the deputy director who had just called in the building.

At this time, Julian Simpson was completely gone from his previous slight failure, and he looked smart, capable and confident.

"Shahai Entertainment is eager to cooperate with me. They are willing to invest $150 million in the project "Super Storm"!" Twentieth Century Fox found her for the film project. Julian Simpson stepped back and advanced: "I can't think of any reason to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox?"

The deputy director got the news that Julian Simpson had just come out of Sand Sea Entertainment, so he determined the authenticity of the circulating news: "Ms. Simpson, Twentieth Century Fox is a traditional Hollywood big company, and its advantages are not comparable to those of a newly emerging company like Relativity Entertainment."

Julian Simpson had a decent smile on his face and had already thought about it. Relativity Entertainment had a bad relationship with Twentieth Century Fox, and was even hostile. Hollywood people know that there must be great obstacles in the communication between the two, which will lead to poor information circulation.

Besides, she did negotiate and cooperate with Shahai Entertainment.

But the specific content, Twentieth Century Fox should not know.

Taking the relationship between Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox, even if Relativity Entertainment publicly denies it, Twentieth Century Fox may think it is smog bombs.

All of these can become the capital for her negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox.

During the first communication, the two sides talked for two hours, but although no agreement was reached, they had the intention to cooperate.

Twentieth Century Fox has the success of "The Day Afternoon" and attaches great importance to climate disaster films. Moreover, Hurricane Katrina has just passed, and for a long time to come, storms will be one of the hot topics of concern to the whole society.

The biggest difference between the two sides is that Julian Simpson serves as director and producer.

But after checking her resume, Twentieth Century Fox was not completely unacceptable. After all, he had the experience of successfully directing a movie.

Investing in filming is a risky oneself, and to some extent, Twentieth Century Fox is more adventurous than Ronan and Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan's experience is special, and he is not good at using it, which is purely a problem with his brain. The same is true for choosing a director. A director with enough experience or a director who has left an impression on him is the first choice.

Types like Julian Simpson must be treated with caution.

According to Ronan's vision, if a script like "Super Storm" is to make a big investment in a big production if you want to shoot a movie.

The director is very important for production at this scale.

Brewster's negotiation report quickly moved to Ronan. Ronan just read it for a while and decided to give up the script of "Super Storm".

Even if you pay tens of thousands of dollars more, it doesn’t matter if you buy a script alone and pay more than tens of thousands of dollars.

But enabling Julian Simpson as director may involve an investment of over 100 million US dollars.

"Cancel." Ronan ordered Connie: "The focus of this batch of recommended projects is on "Zombie Paradise" and "Shameless People."

John Wilson and the people from the Legal Department have had preliminary contact with the UK. It is not the first time that Hollywood remakes British movies and TV series. The UK has no intention of refusing and hopes to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment. The only thing that can affect the cooperation between the two parties is the copyright authorization fee.

As for "Zombie Paradise", the copyright has been in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, and relevant preparations will be launched soon.

Connie responded and asked, "Where is the second blacklist plan?"

"Please put it in December," Ronan said: "Tell George Clint that the plan should not be run too frequently, and send an email to participants at the fastest and quarterly."

Connie wrote it down and said, "I got a piece of news from the Endeavour Elite Agency about Julian Simpson."

Ronan knew that Connie could not say this for no reason: "The specific situation?"

Connie said: "Someone revealed to us that Julian Simpson reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Twentieth Century Fox, and Twentieth Century Fox is very likely to invest in Superstorm."

Ronan asked, “What conditions are Twentieth Century Fox agrees with?”

"Reject Julian Simpson as producer," Connie said. "But consider her as director."

She looked at Ronan: "The news comes from a producer who is close to Julian Simpson. He is currently working on the crew of "Lost". According to the news he knows, the reason why 20th Century Fox came to Julian Simpson was precisely because we were interested in "Super Storm."
