"Mr. Benjamin, this is my creative process. I think this should clear up your doubts. Benjamin was stunned for a moment, then smiled,"Martin, you are really smart. I can't treat you as an ordinary child. I am now extremely convinced that you are the creator of"Kung Fu Panda".""
Looking at Martin talking eloquently, Benjamin's only doubt disappeared. There are geniuses in this world, right?
Then he said:"Then, regarding the issue of copyright fees, it is up to you to discuss it with me in person. Should I talk to you, or should Mr. Grant or Ms. Linda talk to me?"
Martin stood up and stretched. The calmness and sharpness just now were completely gone, and the child's innocence returned to him,"Leave these to my dad, I'm just a child!"
Sheena on the side couldn't help laughing out loud, and Benjamin, Linda and Grant also laughed.
Then it was Grant and Benjamin's"confrontation" time, with Sheena making a memo.
Linda took the lead. He led Martin to sit in the small hall in the backyard.
But before leaving, Martin suddenly said:"Dad, don't forget to tell Mr. Grant that my age is a good promotional gimmick. I think many people will be curious. A ten-year-old What kind of book can a one-year-old boy write? This is also our bargaining chip."
Grant and Benjamin were stunned at the same time.
They came to the small living room.
Linda asked curiously:"Martin, how did you come into contact with Chinese culture? I remember we didn’t hire a tutor for you in this area?"
As a child of an elite family, although Martin did not go to those private schools, he had a lot of tutors - music, painting, foreign languages (Latin, French), etiquette, horse riding, etc.
Martin used to be a It is miserable, but now Martin is enjoying it.
The succubus is a natural artist and linguist, and especially likes things with a sense of ritual, so what Martin has learned has become his nourishment.
Not only does he Learning from the teacher, he also takes the initiative to study on his own, and his daily schedule is full.
Even so, he can also take into account physical exercise. Every succubus is a fitness fanatic, because a toned body can add to his charm and add to his beauty. Bewitching and seducing magic enhances the effect.
As for why Martin has this time?
Because he learns so fast!!!
Especially artistic things such as music and painting, he can master them as soon as he learns them, which amazed several tutors. Sorry, I thought this child was enlightened!
Back to Linda’s question.
Martin was already prepared for this.
"Mom, my math teacher is a Chinese. I have borrowed many books about China from him. I can even speak some Chinese now. Mom, listen up.——"
"Hello, thank you, you're welcome, have you eaten? Goodbye……"
"Even though I don’t understand it, my son is awesome!"
Linda ruffled Martin's hair.
"No, mom, you can't do this, my hairstyle"
"Haha, our little Martin has grown up and started to pay attention to his appearance. Don’t worry, our little Martin has inherited his mother’s beauty and can handle any hairstyle."
"No, I am a man, this is called handsome"
"Geez, yes, handsome!"
Now Martin knows how to make his mother happy.
As the mother and son chatted, time flew by.
Grant has negotiated follow-up matters for Martin, and Random House will publish the book two months later, one week before Thanksgiving. Publish and distribute"Kung Fu Panda", with an initial printing of 200,000 copies, priced at $15, and a 10% royalty. This is already the treatment of an established writer. You know, in the
United States, the lowest royalty for a new writer can even be as low as 3% , Normally this amount is only in the range of 5% to 9%.
In Grant's words, the words Martin said before leaving played a big role. Apparently Benjamin also felt that the"genius young writer" gimmick , can play a great role in promoting the sales of"Kung Fu Panda".
A simple calculation, a book costs 15 US dollars and 200,000 copies. If all can be sold out, that will be a sales of 3 million, from which Martin can get To $300,000.
Of course, this is before tax only, after tax it is less than half
""Ten thousand tax nation" is no joke.
Fortunately, Martin's father is engaged in finance and is very good at various tax avoidance methods.
…………
On the way back, Benjamin sighed while driving:"Unbelievable, unbelievable, you know, I have never seen such a child - I can see the innocent and simple side of the child in him, and I can also see the It's really special to see the cunning and cunningness of adults in him"
"I thought I would gain something today, but in fact, I gained a very, very big harvest today. An eleven-year-old child, can you believe it?"
"Benjamin, I'm equally shocked. Oh, my God, that little boy is so handsome. He has a charming temperament, especially those bright blue eyes. Seeing those eyes, I seem to see Paul in his youth. Newman."
Hina's shock seemed to be different from Benjamin's. When she talked about Martin's handsomeness, her tone was full of excitement and excitement.
"Star temperament, this kid has a star temperament, he is born to be in the spotlight."Benjamin suddenly felt something in his heart when he said this.
…………
Martin's home.
Grant excitedly opened a bottle of champagne and said,"Wish our little Martin's new book a big hit!"
Linda hugged Martin and kept kissing his face.
"Hey, Mom, you scared me."
Martin dodged left and right, unable to avoid his mother's"attack", and couldn't help shouting.
Linda giggled:"No, no, no, my dear, it was you who scared me. I never thought My son is actually a talented writer!"
"Okay, okay, can you mother and son separate for a while?"
"Martin, I have something to ask you. Martin took the opportunity to push his mother away and ran to Grant as if running away,"Dad, what do you want to ask?""
"Martin, you said you wrote 'some' of the stuff, so obviously Kung Fu Panda isn't all of it, right?"
"Tell me, what else did you do behind our backs? Martin lowered his head pretending to be embarrassed and whispered:"Dad, I actually wrote a script and sent it to my Aunt Nancy.""
Nancy Meyers, Grant Meyers's sister, Martin's aunt, is also a famous female film producer, director, and screenwriter in Hollywood.
"What?"
"script?"
