Chapter 976

Universal Pictures reception was held at Wanguo Hotel.

Old and beautiful people like to have parties the most, and there are countless parties every day. Of course, not everyone can enter the parties held by celebrities from big companies.

For example, at the reception held by Universal, all the big names were present. Without an invitation letter, don't even think about it. This kind of occasion is not accessible to ordinary people.

In fact, Chinese people like to negotiate at the wine table, and Americans also have their habit, that is, to meet at a wine party or the like. Although it will not be confirmed, it will definitely express an intention.

The protagonists of this reception tonight are naturally Lin Xiao and Nami. Of course, the reason is very simple. Vincent Larry hopes to get "Dark War" or "Infernal Affairs". Of course, if the two can be together If you win it, that would be the best.

Lin Xiao and Nami arrived, and Vincent Larry greeted them with a smile.

"Hi, Nami, hi, Lin!" Vincent greeted.

"Hi, Vincent!" Lin Xiao and Nami responded with a smile.

"Lin, "Taken" is another miraculous work. Universal would like to continue to cooperate with you and Legendary Pictures. After all, our previous cooperation is very pleasant, isn't it?" Vincent smiled and said straight to the point .

"Of course, cooperation is the general trend. Legendary Pictures happens to have two Huaguo films to be adapted into North American versions. I wonder if Universal is interested?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Since he has already decided to find someone to cooperate with, he will naturally not hide it. Anyway, he has not promised the other party anything. When the time comes, it will depend entirely on the cooperation conditions to decide who to cooperate with.

"Is it "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs?" Vincent asked with a smile.

"Universal's news is very well-informed. That's right, it's these two films." Lin Xiao said with a faint smile.

"We are very interested in Universal! Lin, can you tell me more about it?" Vincent naturally knew that the other party was selling for a price, but this is a normal business operation, and only those who can create value are eligible to raise conditions. Obviously, Lin Xiao is the kind of person who can create commercial value.

""Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs", I wonder which one Universal is interested in?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

Vincent sighed secretly. Although he knew that it was impossible for Lin Xiao to put all his eggs in one basket, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Lin Xiao's words.

If you can win all of them, it is of course the best, but if you can't, then at least one is also good.

In fact, in comparison, Lin Xiao is actually inclined to cooperate with Universal, because Universal is in urgent need of this kind of project at this stage, while other giants are purely for investment.

So if we cooperate with Universal, then Universal will definitely be able to tilt more in terms of resources.

"I want to hear the specific situation about the two films first." Vincent Larry said.

"Actually, both films are dual-protagonist films, and the acting skills of the actors are very high. We need two first-line stars of the actor's level to play the leading roles." Lin Xiao said plainly.

"No problem! I believe no one will refuse to cooperate." Vincent nodded and said.

"Hi! Lin, hi, Vincent! Didn't bother you?" At this time, a voice came, and Lin Xiao's mouth drew an arc when he heard the words, and he still came.

But Vincent frowned, the business snatcher came.

The person who came was Rand from the Dick Group!
Rand has now been promoted to CEO of Dick Films, Dick Group.

For Legendary Films, Rand knew immediately that Lin Xiao was going to adapt two Chinese movies. He had more confidence in Lin Xiao than anyone else.

"Hey, Lin, the first batch of box office share of "Home Alone and Lost in Seattle" has been credited to the account of Legendary Pictures, remember to ask Nami to confirm." Rand said with a smile, holding a wine glass.

"Thank you!" Lin Xiao said with a smile. Rand's intentional mention of this was naturally not just a casual remark, but a gesture of goodwill.

The return on investment cycle of a movie is long, not only the production cycle and release time, etc., but also the payback cycle.

For example, it is very normal for the issuing company to hold you back from paying the share for half a year to a year.

Some can even be delayed for several years. Of course, for Lin Xiao and Legendary Pictures, after all, everyone still hopes to continue to cooperate. Naturally, it is impossible to delay for so long. If you don’t give it, you will not be as sincere as Rand. "Home Alone and Lost in Seattle" is still in theaters.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to be so fast.

But there is no way, in order to continue and deepen the cooperation, plus the previous rift between the two parties due to the high-level changes of the Dick Group, they also need to make up for it.

And Lin Xiao's two projects are also good projects in themselves!

As long as there is a possibility of profit and cooperation can be deepened, Rand will naturally not miss it.

"Lin, I heard that you intend to adapt two films that have sold well at the box office in China into American versions. I wonder if Dick wants to cooperate?" Rand asked.

Vincent on the side frowned immediately.

The reception tonight was specially held for Lin Xiao, but he hadn't even said anything yet, and there were actually poachers.

"Lin, our previous cooperation was quite pleasant. I believe you also understand Universal's strength, and we have always treated our partners with sincerity." Vincent smiled and stabbed Rand.

In the middle of the cooperation between Dick Group and Ling Xiaoge, and Legendary Pictures, the sudden murder of Dick Group was known to the entire Hollywood circle, and that guy Johnson became the laughing stock of Hollywood because of this.

Of course, the Dick Group is not much better, known as the most stupid decision.

You know, Dick Group had been relying on Legendary Pictures to make money at the beginning, but it turned out to be stupid and dishonest, and extended the internal struggle to the outside, which made several other Hollywood giants cheaper in vain.

"I also very much hope to cooperate with Universal and Dick. After all, our previous cooperation was quite pleasant. This time, Legendary Pictures of "Dark War" and "The Departed" will provide the adaptation rights and half of the funds. Of course Yes, we hope to hand it over to a powerful and sincere company for cooperation, production, investment and distribution, and the two parties will share [-]-[-] in all channels!"

The price offered by Lin Xiao is not low, because what it means is that Legendary Pictures will take out the adaptation rights and contribute half of the investment, but it will account for half of the film's profits.

And the key is that this income is all-round, not just box office share.

Don't you think it's not a matter of course that you invest half of your investment and take half of your income?This also involves the announcement and distribution.

Especially distribution, the Hollywood model, the minimum distribution must take more than 15% of the share, Lin Xiao directly smoothed out this share.

Of course, he wasn't worried that they wouldn't take the bait. After all, he was not an unknown person, and he had already proved his strength through many films.
