"20 plus"

Qin Dong smoked in silence and thought slowly.

He is not from North America and does not understand the human society here very well.

But he knows some of the rules of Hollywood.

The contract of 20 plus 20 is not only a matter of money, but also a reflection of status.

Because most of Qin Dong's movies are written by himself and shot by himself, even the production company is his own company. Well, although there are other companies, everything is led by Qin Dong.

But Qin moved his company to sign a contract for himself, which could not be recognized by the outside world.

Therefore, the only movies Qin Dong shot for other companies were only two.

The first part [Mission: Impossible 4]: Qin Dong reached a peace agreement with Paramount and received 10% of the global box office share.

This still has a premise, that is, this "Mission: Impossible 4" has better reputation and box office than "Mission: Impossible 3"

Otherwise, Qin Dong would only have a salary of US$5 million, with no share of the film.

Part 2 [Jurassic Dinosaurs]: Qin Dong reached a contract with Universal and received 20% of the global box office share.

There are also requirements.

That is when the total global box office of this rebooted version of "Jurassic Dinosaur" reaches US$1.3 billion, Qin Dong can get 20% of the box office share.

If the box office is only 1.2 billion, which is less than 1.3 billion, then Qin Dong can only get 10% of the box office share.

If the box office is only 1.1 billion and less than 1.2 billion, then Qin Dong can only get 5% of the box office share.

If it is only one billion, or even less than one billion, anyway, when it is less than 1.1 billion, Qin Dong will not get a share of the box office and can only get a basic salary of 20 million US dollars.

In a word, Qin Dong is known as "the most profitable director in the world" by the outside world, is familiar to movie fans around the world, and is recognized by the industry as a genius director and screenwriter with unparalleled talent.

But because Qin Dong always shoots his own company's movies, he has never received the [20 plus 20] film contract that is recognized by the world's top directors.

"Martin, have you ever thought about Warner Bros.?"

After a long time, Qin Dong finished thinking and then said:

"My contract with Warner has meant that in recent years, I don't know how long it will take. No matter how fast I go, it will probably take at least two years to shoot Warner's DC superhero movie."

"Even if I agree now, how many years can Colombia wait?"

"NO, NO, NO, Qin, I don't think so."

Martin shook his head when he heard this, and said with a serious face:

"If it were other directors, including all the directors in the world, if I were to face them at this moment, I would definitely agree with you."

"But you are different, Qin. Your shooting speed, your post-production speed, and your script writing speed make me disagree with this view."

"According to your contract with Warner"

"The movie you are shooting now, as the first movie in Warner DC's reboot of the DC superhero universe, needs to be released in December this year. I know this time is very urgent."

"But you agreed, and I know it's enough for you at this time."

"Even according to the contract, the second DC reboot superhero movie needs to be released during the summer vacation next year."

"I still think the speed of your shooting, and the speed of your company's special effects"

"Two movies, now in April, will be released in summer next year, even if they are released in May, you will still have 13 months."

"With your shooting speed, I think it can be completed in 6 months at most."

"As for the post-production process, besides editing, one month is enough for you. You don't need to do the special effects yourself."

"You still have 6 months left until May, the beginning of next year's summer vacation."

"I'll give you two months to rest, and you still have four months to shoot a Colombian movie."

Qin Dong was silent as he looked at Martin who was talking casually.

If you are sincere, what Martin said does make sense.

Qin Dong also believes that by May, when the summer vacation starts next year, it will take up to 13 months. If Qin Dong is really serious, he can shoot at least four movies in 13 months.

"Martin, you need to know that my contract with Warner must go well, otherwise I will have to pay back the DC superhero copyrights I have obtained."

Qin Dong did not deny Martin's statement, but emphasized his mission:

"There are also agreements I have reached with the other five major Hollywood companies besides Disney."

"My company plus the five major companies, six companies have jointly acquired the copyrights of more than a dozen superheroes that Marvel has lost, and are about to launch another [Superheroes Alliance] for Marvel that is different from the [Avengers].

"

"MAN, you don't really think that I can liven up two different series of superhero movies by just planning and writing a script, right?"

"There's a lot of pressure on my shoulders."

This is what Qin Dong thinks in his heart, or it can be said that it is not.

If he said yes, it was because he had to complete these two series.

In addition to Disney, other allies were recruited. After Disney acquired Marvel and Pixar Animation from [the father of Apple], Disney, a giant that once became one of the eight major Hollywood companies with animated films, really has no weaknesses anymore.

Became a giant that dominated Hollywood.

Therefore, when Disney is currently hostile to Qin Dong, Qin Dong must complete these two series, not only to make money, but also to recruit the other five major companies to fight against Disney.

If he said no, that's because Qin Dong really didn't take it seriously.

His base will always be in his own family. This land is a foreign country, and Qin Dong just wants to make money here.

It doesn't matter if things get messed up.

Well, it is a last resort, otherwise it is better to make money from foreigners.

Besides, Qin Dong really doesn't want to be so tired and his working hours are too tight.

Qin Dong at this moment is no longer the time when he first entered the entertainment industry, nor when he first broke out of the country and entered the world. During these two periods, Qin Dong's reputation and qualifications are insufficient, so he must be nervous.

Now, Qin Dong has enough cards, enough fame, enough worth, and enough status.

So Qin Dong didn't want to force himself to be so tired.

You also need to take more care of your own woman.

"Yeah, I know you're under a lot of pressure."

Martin nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Qin Dong's view, but changed his words:

"As your old friend, Qin"

"Are you really that stressed?"

"Based on what I know about you, when you feel comfortable accepting these two contracts"

"At that time, you may have already made detailed plans."

"Although I have no evidence, based on my understanding of you in the past few years, I believe that my speculation is accurate."

"I don't know why you resisted taking on the Columbia movie, Qin."

"But to be honest, Qin, you have joined forces with the six major Hollywood companies and the other five major companies except Disney, so you should also make a movie for other companies."

"First, if you shoot a movie from another company, I can help you negotiate a 20 plus 20 contract. I believe you can earn at least 100 million U.S. dollars from one movie."

"Secondly, as for Disney's current relationship with you, you need to have a good relationship with the other five major companies."

"Thirdly, when you shoot too many films for other companies, your contract will inevitably exceed 20 plus."

"When the time comes, it's not impossible to add 25 to 25 or 30 to 30."

Qin Dong smiled because he knew that Martin still had something to say.

That is, as Qin Dong becomes more and more powerful, the benefits CAA receives from Qin Dong also increase infinitely.

In recent years, due to the rise of Qin Dong, CAA has widened the gap with WMA and ICM, becoming the well-deserved number one agency in the world.

"Okay, Martin, so far, you've convinced me."

"I agree in principle, but you can negotiate the contract slowly. Anyway, I'm very busy right now and you have a lot of time to negotiate."

After the effect, Qin Dong said this. After just summarizing in one sentence, he turned to talk about other things:

"I'm calling you here tonight, except to ask you to check this [Game of the Brave]"

"I have one more thing to ask you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Martin beamed at first. Qin Dong accepted movies from other big companies, which would be of infinite benefit to CAA. Then he heard a new question and quickly asked.

This is his and the entire CAA's most important asset, and Qin Dong must be satisfied.

"A person, a woman."

Qin Dong took a puff of his cigar, blew out a smoke ring leisurely, and then spoke slowly:

"Alexandra Daddario."

"Martin, tell me, it's been so long"

"How's it going?"

When he was at Warner Bros. and saw Dwayne Johnson, Qin Dong didn't see Alexandra Daddario.

But when Qin Dong came up with the idea of ​​letting his woman star in this movie, which although the box office was not high, it was profitable at the box office alone, Qin Dong recalled it.
