Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

"This can't be!"

Two hundred million dollars, for Six Flags, which is qualified to run an amusement park, is actually not a big problem.

But to get involved in the share of amusement parks, it is simply whimsical.

This is forbidden by any amusement park company, and no one else is allowed to touch it.

Bang!

The door was pushed open impolitely.

"We Disney said yes!"

Juyt, who broke in, seemed to have heard the opinion that Kevin had just put forward, and directly agreed.

The two little beauties at the front desk arrived later, and said with a grievance:

"They broke in, my sister and I couldn't stop them..."

"It's okay, you guys go back to the front desk first."

Kevin waved his hand and told them to go back to the front desk, while muttering in his heart that he was going to call for a few security guards.

But this situation is not a bad thing.

After giving up his plan to build an amusement park, Kevin naturally pondered the plan to sell Pirates of the Caribbean.

And the only one who can offer the highest price is naturally Disney.

As the only giant of amusement parks, the price they can offer is not comparable to other amusement parks.

The two little girls at the front desk left and brought the door by the way.

By this time, the atmosphere in the office was suddenly different.

In the face of Disney's onslaught, the people of Six Flags are somewhat weak-hearted.

In terms of strength, heritage, and money, they are not as good as Disney.

If a project is targeted by them, Six Flags is likely to be uncompetitive.

After sitting down, Juyt, who had just said, continued:

"They are only willing to pay $100 million for the license of Pirates of the Caribbean, but we Disney are willing to pay 200 million US dollars, plus 10% of the net profit of the Caribbean project you proposed."

"I think, who to choose, director Kevin, there should not be much doubt, right?"

The people of Six Flags immediately interjected:

"We, Six Flags, are willing to pay 250 million US dollars in cash, plus the same profit share."

In fact, the prospect of Pirates of the Caribbean is visible to everyone.

Disney is not the only one who goes to the Caribbean town to investigate.

The previous 100 million was just a low price that wanted to take advantage of it.

I didn't expect Disney to come so quickly, and they were suddenly a little caught off guard.

Seeing the price offered by Disney, they discussed internally, gritted their teeth, and directly quoted the highest price they could quote.

If you can win it, of course, if you can't take it, let Disney have more blood, for them, it doesn't hurt.

Seeing Six Flags bid again, Juiter wrote lightly:

"Disney gave 300 million plus 10% net profit share to buy the license of Pirates of the Caribbean!"

"You~."

The people of Six Flags were immediately speechless, and directly turned around and left Morning Light Entertainment.

Just for Disney's offer, they Six Flags simply want to win the Pirates of the Caribbean project, and it is really unnecessary to stay here to lose people's eyes.

Looking at their departing backs, Juiter just smiled faintly.

For Disneyland, maintaining its position as the sole giant is the most important.

As long as the status does not waver, billions of dollars in annual revenue are simply firmly in Disney's pockets.

For this, paying $300 million is actually not a big problem.

This means that other amusement parks cannot get such a high-quality project as Pirates of the Caribbean.

They will be able to continue to capture the lion's share of the amusement park market.

The amount quoted by Disney surprised Kevin a little.

Although he is sure that Disney will never lose money because of this project, Disney can have such a vision in advance, which shows that their success is not for nothing.

Seeing the competitor leave, Juyt said again:

"Director Kevin, Disney is willing to pay this price for Pirates of the Caribbean, but there are several conditions, I don't know if you can agree."

As soon as Kevin heard it, he knew that the drama was coming.

The point is the conditions behind, if you can agree, the price in front is naturally fine.

If you can't say yes, then the price will be greatly discounted.

These are all general techniques in business negotiation, Kevin knows it.

"What conditions?"

"First, Pirates of the Caribbean must have more than four sequels."

Juyt put forward this condition also for the influence of this IP.

Multiple sequels can spread the influence of Pirates of the Caribbean to the maximum, and for Disney, it is able to make this IP last longer.

Kevin pondered for a moment and said:

"There is definitely no problem with this, my plan for Pirates of the Caribbean is longer, and there is no problem with more than four sequels."

Juid nodded and continued:

"The second condition is that the box office of each film cannot be less than 100 million US dollars, and the interval between the shooting of each film cannot exceed five years."

Kevin nodded again, these two conditions, in fact, are not excessive.

"I said yes."

"Good!"

Kevin agreed very happily, and Juyt naturally did not get entangled.

The people in charge on both sides have negotiated, and the remaining details are naturally handed over to their subordinates and lawyers, and they are slowly torn apart.

After the matter was over, Kevin instructed Dawson to find a few editors to expand his influence by adapting the script of Pirates of the Caribbean into a novel.

Since becoming the boss, Kevin has also learned a little bit about the operation behind the movie.

After a movie explodes, a series of means to expand the influence of IP such as novels, anime, TV series, and comics can be used.

Only after accumulating many aspects can the IP of Pirates of the Caribbean truly endure.

.....

This kind of huge transaction naturally cannot be concealed from those who have intentions.

The news that Pirates of the Caribbean made three hundred million dollars in licensing fees alone soon spread in Hollywood, and Steve Kevin once again became a favorite among countless actresses.

A big director who has money, status, and can be famous, which female star does not want to take him for herself.

Even Sharma Hyak and Angelina Jolie, the two people who have the most scandals with Kevin, have been hated by other actresses.

However, the second daughter did not feel uncomfortable, but enjoyed the feeling of being hated very much.

On the other hand, Warner, as an investor, has discussed this internally.

...

Warner Bros., internal high-level meeting.

A white man with a fleshy face said with a look of dissatisfaction:

"Robinoff, how can you let Steve Kevin alone occupy so much of the copyright of Pirates of the Caribbean."

"As an investor with a 30% investment, we should also receive 30% of all Pirates of the Caribbean copyrights, not just 30% of the Pirates of the Caribbean 1."

"Disney's licensing fees, there is 100 million US dollars should be ours."

In the words, there is greed.
