Chapter 872 Digging Addiction

Relativity Building, a very ordinary reception room belonging to the office floor of Shahai Entertainment, Julian Simpson looked at the fat man shaking hands with her, feeling a little depressed.

"Hello, Ms. Simpson." The slightly greasy-haired fat man introduced himself: "I am Reed Brewster from the production department of Sandsea Entertainment. Welcome to Sandsea Entertainment."

Julian Simpson smiled: "Hello, Mr. Brewster."

Brewster got straight 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.

From the bottom of my heart, I was quite disappointed. The person who received her was not Ronan Anderson, nor George Clint from Sandsea Entertainment, nor even other well-known figures, just an unremarkable fat man.

What is the job of this fat man? Production director? Obviously not, Dingtian is also a supervisor.

Is the situation different from what was expected?

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

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

Brewster said: "If Ms. Simpson is willing to sell, Sandsea Entertainment is willing to buy out all the copyrights of this script. Since you are a member of the Screenwriters Guild, Sandsea Entertainment is willing to pay $25,000 to buy it out."

Hearing this price, Julian Simpson's face turned gloomy for a moment. These companies in Hollywood are too arrogant, even Sand Sea Entertainment, which has an excellent reputation, is not much better.

Inspiration and creativity are so worthless?

This is almost reaching the minimum transaction price for member scripts rigidly stipulated by the Screenwriters Union.

"Sorry." Julian Simpson collected his mood, quickly returned to normal, and said, "Thank you very much for Shahai Entertainment's appreciation, but I cannot accept such a price."

What Brewster offered was the lowest price, and the authorized price he got was far more than 25,000 US dollars.

But he did not increase the price easily, which is not conducive to negotiations: "Ms. Simpson, if you have any requirements, you can ask them."

Julian Simpson understands,

There is still room for discussion.

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

Julian Simpson said tentatively: "Mr. Brewster, "Superstorm" is not just a script in my hands, but a film project." She took out the preliminary plan for shooting and production, and put it in Brewster's Front: "This is my preliminary plan..."

Brewster flipped through the pages.

Julian Simpson added: "I hope to cooperate with Sandsea Entertainment on the film project "Superstorm"."

Brewster didn't read much, flipped through it for a while, then closed the proposal, 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 tapped his finger lightly. This was completely inconsistent with the company's plan. The superior had explained to him very directly that the company purchased the script temporarily to enrich the script library, and there would be no shooting and production plans in the short term.

"This project, from the initial idea to the completion of the script, is done by me alone." Julian Simpson is also fighting for himself: "I am the person who knows "Superstorm" best, and I have also served as director and producer before. Filmmaker..."

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

Julian Simpson took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said: "I am the director is the prerequisite for cooperation."

She took a step back and stopped talking about the producer.

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

At this point in the negotiation, it is inevitable to develop in the direction of the collapse of the negotiation.

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

Although he didn't want to accept the business card, Julian Simpson put away the business card considering that it was a road after all: "I hope you can think about it, I am very sincere in cooperation."

He made a lot of psychological presuppositions before, but in the face of a first-class production company in the industry like Shahai Entertainment, Julian Simpson still unconsciously put himself in the position of the weak.

The negotiations did not reach any results in the end, and Julian Simpson came to the first floor of the Theory of Relativity Building, inevitably a little disappointed.

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

Walked out of the Relativity Building, got into the car, talked to the agent on the phone, briefly explained the situation, Julian Simpson started the car, and prepared to leave Century City.

The cell phone rang suddenly.

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

After connecting, a strange man's voice said: "Hello, Ms. Simpson, I am the deputy director of the 20th Century Fox film production department..."

After finishing the phone call, Julian Simpson started the car and arrived at the Fox Building, also located in Century City, within five minutes.

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

At this time, Julian Simpson was completely different from the slightly failed appearance before, looking shrewd and capable and full of confidence.

"Sand Sea Entertainment is eager to cooperate with me. They are willing to invest 150 million US dollars in the project "Superstorm"!" Twentieth Century Fox approached her for the film project, and Julian Simpson retreated: "I can't think of any other reason to work with 20th Century Fox?"

The deputy director got the news that Julian Simpson had just come out of Sandsea Entertainment, so he confirmed the authenticity of the rumors: "Ms. Simpson, Twentieth Century Fox is a big traditional Hollywood company. Rising companies can compare."

Julian Simpson had a decent smile on his face, and he had already made plans in his heart. The relationship between Relativity Entertainment and 20th Century Fox was very bad, even hostile. Everyone in Hollywood knew that there must be extreme communication between the two Big obstacles, which will lead to poor flow of information.

Besides, she did discuss cooperation with Shahai Entertainment.

But the specific content, 20th Century Fox should not know.

With the relationship between Relativity Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox, even if Relativity Entertainment publicly denies it, maybe Twentieth Century Fox will think it is a smoke bomb.

These can become the capital for her negotiation with 20th Century Fox.

In the initial communication, the two sides talked for a full two hours. Although no agreement was reached, there was a preliminary intention to cooperate.

Twentieth Century Fox, ahead of the success of "The Day After Tomorrow", attaches great importance to climate disaster films, and Hurricane Katrina has just passed, and the storm will be one of the hot spots of the whole society for a long time to come.

The biggest difference between the two sides is still in the position of Julian Simpson as director and producer.

But after 20th Century Fox checked her resume, it was not completely unacceptable, after all, she had the experience of successfully directing movies.

Investing in a film is a risk in itself, and in some ways 20th Century Fox is more adventurous than Ronan and Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan has a special experience, and if he doesn't make good use of it, it's purely a brain defect. The same is true for choosing a director. A director with sufficient experience or a director who has left an impression on him is the first choice.

A type like Julian Simpson must be treated with caution.

According to Ronan's vision, for a script like "Superstorm", if you want to make a movie, you must invest a lot and make a big production.

With a production of this scale, directing is very important.

Brewster's negotiation report was quickly transferred to Ronan. Ronan decided to abandon the "Superstorm" script after just reading it.

It doesn't matter if you buy the script alone, even if you pay tens of thousands of dollars more, with Shahai Entertainment's current strength and funds.

But using Julian Simpson as a director may involve an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Cancel it." Ronan told Connie: "This batch of recommended projects will focus on "Zombieland" and "Shameless"."

John Wilson and the people from the legal department have made preliminary contact with the British side. It is not the first time that Hollywood remakes a British film and TV series. The British side has no intention of refusing, and hopes to cooperate with Relativity Entertainment. The cooperation between the two parties is only the copyright authorization fee.

As for "Zombie Paradise", the copyright is already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, and related preparations will start soon.

Connie responded and asked, "What about the second blacklist plan?"

"Let's put it in December." Ronan said: "Tell George Clint that the plan should not run too frequently, and the fastest is to send an email to the participants every quarter."

Connie wrote it down, and then said: "I got a message from Endeavor Elite Agency, about Julian Simpson."

Ronan knew that it was impossible for Connie to say these things for no reason: "The specific situation?"

Connie said: "Someone revealed to us that Julian Simpson has reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with 20th Century Fox, and 20th Century Fox is very likely to invest in the filming of "Superstorm."

Ronan asked, "What conditions does 20th Century Fox agree to?"

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

She looked at Ronan: "The news comes from a producer who has a good relationship with Julian Simpson. He is currently working on the crew of "Lost". According to his information, the reason why Twentieth Century Fox approached Julian Simpson Simpson, precisely because we saw Superstorm."

Ronan couldn't help shaking his head: "Twentieth Century Fox is addicted to poaching our corner."
