world with entertainment

Early the next morning, after submitting the script for "Good Will Hunting" to Miramax, Liu Yuntian began to think about what he would do in the future and what path he would take.

In his previous life, as the most outstanding graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, Liu Yuntian was hailed as someone who could lead Chinese films to the world. However, because he had no background and was unwilling to abide by unwritten rules, he completely gave up his beloved directing industry and became an entertainment reporter.

However, every loss has its own gain, because as an entertainment reporter, Liu Yuntian is also very familiar with the entertainment information over the years, whether it is movies, TV, literature or music, because of his work, he has been deeply involved in it.

"So, what should I do now? Continue writing scripts?" Liu Yuntian touched his chin and silently thought about what he should do.

"I don't just want to be a tycoon in the film industry, I want to be the overlord of the entertainment industry. I want the world's entertainment to be led by me." Liu Yuntian swore fiercely in his heart and established his goal in his heart.

"I don't believe I won't be famous with the knowledge I gained in my previous life and the excellent conditions I have now." Liu Yuntian thought about his perfect appearance and the perfect voice he accidentally discovered not long ago, and secretly gritted his teeth.

..................................................

"I want to reshape the classics of the past life in my hands, and I want to give them my soul." Liu Yuntian thought with high spirits.

"Do you want to write a song first? Didn't I say that Titanic doesn't have a theme song yet? I heard that James Cameron has been very unhappy recently because of this. Do I want to write the classic song "My Heart Will Goon"?

What about 20th Century Fox Paramount Pictures?"

When Liu Yuntian thought about the world-famous classic song "My Heart Will Go On" being born in his own hands, his mouth opened unconsciously.

Sitting in front of the desk, Liu Yuntian just started drawing the staff. In order to write music reports better in his previous life, Liu Yuntian went to learn some basic music, and he still knew a little about music creation.

The staff was quickly constructed, and Liu Yuntian began to recall the melody and lyrics of "My Heart Will Eternally".

.................................................................

.............

Two days have passed since the script was submitted to Miramax. There has been no news from Miramax, and Liu Yuntian is quietly writing his own novel at home. As for "My Heart Will Go On"

》Already voted for Paramount yesterday.

……………………………….

Harvey Weinstein is the president of Miramax. It has been three years since the company was acquired by Walt Disney. In these three years, in addition to the good results and reputation of "Pulp Fiction" in 1994,

The company has been in an embarrassing situation of neither improving nor declining. Thinking of this, Weinstein would frown unconsciously.

"Bang bang..." A knock on the door came.

"Come in," Weinstein said, sitting in his chair.

The office door was opened, and a young man with gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

"President, here is a script that was submitted two days ago by a Chinese in Chinatown, Los Angeles," the young man said.

Weinstein saw that the young man was his most admired assistant, White.

"Script? Written by a Chinese? Is it a Chinese movie?" Weinstein asked doubtfully.

Weinstein knew that his assistant White was a very talented person, and the movie script he could watch would be good.

"No, it's a typical American inspirational movie. It tells the story of a rebellious young man with extraordinary mathematical talent who, with the help of his professor and friends, finally unravels the knot in his heart, eliminates interpersonal barriers, and finds himself and love.

story," White said.

"Oh? An American-themed movie written by a Chinese? Is this movie script very good? You can actually come to me early in the morning." Weinstein said curiously...

"Yes. This movie is really good. It has classic lines, rich emotions, and is inspiring. It is a rare and good work." White said seriously.

"I believe that as long as this movie is made, we will definitely cause a sensation, achieve brilliant results, and get rid of the current embarrassing situation." White is Weinstein's confidant, so he is also very familiar with the company's embarrassing situation.

.

"Oh? Is that so? Are you so confident? Then show me the script." Seeing White's serious look, Weinstein also corrected his attitude, and as a result, the script began to read seriously.

……………….

"Okay, this script is really good. Was it written by a Chinese? It's incredible. He grasps people's hearts so accurately. Have we contacted him?" Weinstein said with excitement on his face.

It had been several years, and he finally saw a good script. He couldn't help but be excited.

Moreover, after Weinstein read the script, he also knew that what White said was right. If his company wanted to get rid of the embarrassing situation, it might really be able to rely on this movie to turn it around.

"No, I want to show it to the president and hope that the president can talk to him personally. After all, if this script is acquired by another company, we will suffer a big loss," White said.

After taking a look at the address and contact person on the script, Liu Yuntian, No. 1057 Chinatown, Los Angeles, Weinstein nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I have to go and talk to Mr. Liu in person."

.....................................

Just when Liu Yuntian was writing his novel at home, he only heard the doorbell ringing. Not long after, his mother's voice rang outside the door, "Xiaotian, come down quickly, there is a rice cooker here."

Mr. Weinstein from Lamax is looking for you.”

When Liu Yuntian heard his mother talking about Miramax, he was stunned at first, and then he laughed unconsciously. It seemed that they had already seen his script.

But what surprised Liu Yuntian was that this time it was the president of Miramax who came to see him in person. It seemed that they attached great importance to his script. Liu Yuntian thought happily, and at the same time, he was looking forward to the cooperation negotiations later.

More confident.

"Okay, I'll be here soon." Liu Yuntian put on his coat and walked downstairs.

When he came to the living room and saw Weinstein being greeted by his mother to eat some fruit, Liu Yuntian said with a smile on his face, "Welcome, dear Mr. Weinstein."

After saying that, she hugged him very affectionately.

Obviously, Weinstein was also very happy with Liu Yuntian's enthusiasm for him, but at the same time he was simply surprised by Liu Yuntian's youth. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Liu, you are so young. You are really a hero."

What a young man."

Liu Yuntian smiled, casually chatted with him for a few words, and then started to get into the main topic of today's conversation.

.............................

"Mr. Liu, our company has seen the script you wrote and is interested in investing in the filming. I wonder if you can sell the script to our company? We will definitely do our best to film your script. It will be the focus of this year.

The movie is here to prepare for filming." Weinstein said to Liu Yuntian seriously, with sincerity on his face. It was obvious that he came here with sincerity.

"Oh? First of all, thank you Miramax for liking my script. I am personally interested in cooperating with your company. However, I think the specific method of cooperation may change. I don't want to just sell the script to you.

I hope to cooperate in another way." Liu Yuntian said to Weinstein, exuding sophistication and cunning that did not belong to his 16-year-old age.

"So, Mr. Liu, how do you want to cooperate?" Weinstein saw Liu Yuntian's maturity that was not in line with his age, corrected his attitude, and stopped treating the other party as a child...

Next to the two of them, my mother was already shocked by the conversation between us, but she still understood some information, that is, her son wrote a movie script, which also attracted the attention of the famous Miramax CEO.

He came to discuss cooperation issues with his son in person, but his son actually refused to accept the traditional copyright purchase and wanted to discuss new cooperation methods with Weinstein.

Just when his mother was shocked by Liu Yuntian's incredible behavior, Liu Yuntian had already begun to tell Weinstein about his preconceived method of cooperation.

"Dear Mr. Weinstein, I know very well the value of the script I wrote, so I am not willing to just get a script fee. When I finished writing the script, I had already budgeted the budget of this movie, which was about 10 million.

I can charge no script fee and invest two million US dollars to participate in the filming, but I hope to get 30% of the box office revenue." Liu Yuntian said to Weinstein seriously, but his eyes flashed from time to time.

The cunning means that he is waiting for Weinstein to jump down when the lion opens his mouth, or digging a hole.

"Well, dear Liu, I'm very embarrassed about your allocation. It's not that we can't find investors. Moreover, giving you 30% of the box office revenue is too high. It's impossible for our company to agree to such cooperation. We

The most I'll accept is 10% of the movie's box office," Weinstein said awkwardly, but at a glance it was clear that he was wrangling too. You must know that an investment of 2 million can get more than 10% of the box office revenue.

"Sure enough, none of these vampires are good. They pretended that I didn't know and bullied me like a child." Liu Yuntian cursed fiercely in his heart.

"So, how about we use the movie box office to determine my income after investment? If the movie box office is less than 50 million, I don't want any money, and the script and 2 million will be given to you. If it is more than 50 million,

, I want 10% of the box office revenue. If it exceeds 100 million, I want 15% of the box office revenue. If it exceeds 150 million, I want 20% of the box office revenue. And so on. As long as the box office exceeds 250 million, I will ask for it.

30% of the box office revenue. How about it? However, I have a request, that is, I will find the director, and I will participate in the filming of this movie and be one of the directors. And we can choose the protagonist of the movie together." Liu Yuntian

Confidently talking to Weinstein about his box office distribution method.

"Huh? Such a distribution?" Weinstein frowned and looked at the confident Liu Yuntian, thinking silently in his heart. In fact, he knew deep down that this distribution method was still very beneficial to them, not only

A good script and a large investment, and they will only need to pay profits if the box office exceeds 50 million. Although he is very optimistic about the script, it does not mean that he thinks that such a small-cost film can exceed 100 million. If it reaches 50 million, it is considered very

Okay. So he doesn’t think there is a problem with such an allocation, but his long-term business intuition makes him feel that this is not as simple as imagined.

"Dear Liu, do you want to be your own director? Do you have any shooting experience? Our company dare not use investors' money to play games for you?" As a successful businessman, Weinstein knew that he could not directly

He agreed so easily, so he decided to start with the fact that he wanted to be a director in exchange for the best interests.

"I want to be my own director. Of course, I don't have much shooting experience. I just taught myself a little bit. So I will choose an excellent director who I think can produce the effect I want to shoot. I will just learn from it later and improve myself."

The suggestions exist, but I only participated in the filming of a small number of scenes. Don’t forget, I wrote the script, and I have this complete initial concept of the script and scenes in my mind." Liu Yuntian said seductively.

"It's not impossible to let you be the director, but our company has to review the director you choose, and we need to know the effect of your shooting. If it's not good, we have the right to remove you. Moreover, although your allocation method is good, but

The final distribution ratio is too high, and we have no way to agree. We think we can accept a distribution ratio of up to 25% of the movie box office. That is to say, if your movie box office exceeds 200 million, we will give you 25% of the box office revenue." Wei.

After Einstein thought about it for a while, Zuo Hou still said sincerely. It was obvious that he really wanted this movie.

"Okay, but if the effect of our shooting is acceptable, then I hope your company will not interfere with our normal shooting ideas. We need to have our own movie emotions." Considering that the 30% allocation is indeed too high, plus the 300 million in future generations.

With a high box office of 50 million, even 25% would be enough for him to make a lot of money, so Liu Yuntian readily agreed, but he still put forward conditions for his filming permission.

"Well, Mr. Liu, I wish us a happy cooperation." Weinstein stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and said to Liu Yuntian.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." Liu Yuntian also extended his hand and said with a smile.
