At about nine o'clock the next morning, Jimmy and Wayne walked into the Warner Building together.

This was his first time here, but he felt very comfortable. They were greeted by Jeff Robinoff, director of the film and television production department of Warner Bros.

"Hello, Director Greenberg." Jeff smiled and stretched out his hand. "I'm happy to see you, and I hope we can reach a cooperation."

Wayne also reached out and held it with him: "Hello, Mr. Robinoff, of course, I think so too."

After saying hello, Jeff shook hands, and then took the two of them to the seventh floor with him. This person had a very deep first impression on him. He didn't look like an executive of a Hollywood giant, like a smiling big bear, or a big bear.

He reminded himself in his heart that anyone who wants to treat a giant film and television company as Xiong Da, he must be not far from bald strongman, and such a person cannot be simple.

After entering the prepared conference room, Jimmy quickly entered the topic on behalf of him and the Warner staff. Both sides wanted to reach a consensus as soon as possible and the bottom line was clearer.

Warner is simply familiar with such negotiations. Jimmy may have watched it very seriously, but in their eyes, this is just the most common movie collaboration in Hollywood. The biggest reason why Warner is willing to inject capital into this project is that he is optimistic about the profit prospects of "Escape from the Deadly Town".

Some of them are similar to the first cooperation with 20th Century Fox. The negotiations are very fast. Everyone takes what they need. If there are any differences, try to compromise with each other. If it cannot be resolved for the time being, leave it to the end.

Normally, this is only the first time to meet and negotiate, and the bottom line of both sides should be tested. But when both sides want to speed up and intend to reach cooperation, the negotiation progress is frighteningly fast.

"Wayne, let them talk first, let's talk about your film." Jeff, who was originally sitting opposite him, sat gently next to him and whispered. "If it is officially passed, do you have any special requests before the filming starts? I mean outside the negotiating table."

"The film scene is simple. I believe Warner has a suitable studio, so you can just add some outdoor scenes at the end." Seeing the other party asking, he was not polite and started to talk about his needs directly.

"The main ones are crew members and actors, photographers, lighting engineers, associate directors, editors. I hope Warner can give priority to my choice. Because of my age and qualifications, I need to be able to suppress them and not affect the shooting due to the struggle for power."

Jeff Robinoff touched his chin with his hands while listening. After seeing him finishing his words, he replied: "You can use the candidate you recommend, but the producer must be a Warner employee. This is the Hollywood rule."

"No problem, Mr. Robinoff." Wayne saw that he agreed very happily, and took advantage of the momentum to continue: "The most important question is that I hope that the post-production production will be based on my opinion, and an internal trial can be held in advance. If you are not satisfied, you can ask the producer to re-edit."

Since he chose to cooperate with a large company and not play the high-risk form of independent production, he is ready to give up the editing rights in the end. As long as he has the right to participate in the end, he is confident that the producer will agree to his plan.

"Yes, this one can even be written into the contract." Jeff thought for a while and said to Wayne seriously: "I can make the decision to agree to you all of these, but the premise of our cooperation is to have the priority investment rights for your last two to four films."

"I don't think there is any problem. Who can refuse the kindness of a Hollywood giant?" This condition can be said to be not harsh at all. Of course, he understands the other party's meaning. If the film succeeds and continues to cooperate, if it fails, there will naturally be no investment in the future.

This is already a very sincere condition, and the proposed method completely takes care of Wayne's feelings, as if he is very optimistic about him, and he is eager to succeed.

Until the lunch break, the negotiations were surprisingly fast. In addition to some differences about the later share, Jimmy reached out to most of the terms.

Because the investment amount is not large, it does not involve the treatment of the crew celebrities. Now the director is the director himself. Since the problem of most crew members has been solved first, Wayne's various rights and obligations are not too troublesome.

It should have been a protracted and time-consuming negotiation, but most of the problems were solved in half a day, under the premise that both sides were sincerely working together.

After leaving the Warner Building, Jimmy walked out of the negotiation state and sat on Wayne's Cadillac. He breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I can't believe it! This is completely different from the negotiations between me and the 20th Century Fox some time ago."

"This is a good thing, isn't it?" He drove to Beverly Mulholland Road when he heard Jimmy's words. "This fully reflects our value. Jimmy, there are always people who are willing to believe that we can bring him more benefits."

"It's your value, Wayne! It seems that you can talk about your treatment tomorrow. At this speed, the slowest signing of the contract will not last more than a week." Jimmy said, taking out his record book and watching the agreed terms reached in the morning.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked out the car window, and shouted "Ah". "Hey, where are you going to take me? You should put me in Burbank and work overtime in the afternoon to sort out the information."

Looking at Jimmy who realized it later, Wayne said helplessly: "Did you forget it? Today I will move to my new home, go to my place for a drink, get to know my way, and if you have something to do, you will be famous among the agents."

The car drove all the way to the manor and parked it in the small square in front of the main building. When the two got off the car, they found that everyone was waiting for them.

Now, in addition to Nina and Naomi, there are five white people at the entrance of the living room. The assistant knows his taste and does not hire African-American personnel.

"Boss, this is the butler Hela." When he walked in front of him, Nina first introduced her.

"Hello, Mr. Greenberg."

Hela is not tall, has short hair, and has some freckles that are unique to white people on her face. It is impossible to judge the age. These white people in Europe and the United States have developed earlier, and according to his observation, they are no more than forty years old.

"Hello, Hela, let's go in and talk." Wayne took the lead in walking into the living room, and after everyone sat down, he looked at the other people besides Hela.

"Boss, I am chef Mike. If you have any special requirements for food, please let Hela tell me." The bearded man sitting next to the housekeeper introduced himself first.

"He and Hela are husband and wife." Nina whispered to him that this kind of thing is normal in North America. It is more stable for the couple to work in the same estate. "They used to work here and are more familiar with it. The real estate agent Henry introduced it."

"Okay, Mike, help us prepare some food, Hela, do we have wine? We need a drink." Wayne doesn't care who they are, as long as they have no problem with their work, at worst, they can change it after stabilizing.

"There are some red wine in the wine cellar, sir." Hela waved his hand and let the few go out after he finished speaking. "Leo and the other three can maintain the garden, but they are too busy and have to hire a housekeeping company once a month. The manor needs to hire a few security guards, Mr. Greenberg."

"No problem, Nina, please contact me with a security company."

When the four of them were left in the living room, Jimmy was stunned at the huge mansion.

"Oh my God, Wayne, it's so big, I'm going to visit it."

"Jimmy, don't be polite, maybe you will buy one in the future." He didn't care about Jimmy, now his mind is full of his own new project, and it seems that he will be able to start the preliminary preparations soon.

The independent production itself is not in his subsequent plan. This is Hollywood, and the ability to resist risks is too low. Think about how many ups and downs my "Happy Death Day" has been released.

In the battle between money and fame and fortune, it is absolutely not possible to make a good movie, but to kill film companies across the United States. Now he can be sure that he is on the right path. As long as the film is fine, Warner will solve everything in the future.

"Boss, Twentieth Century Fox, Mr. Rossman's phone call." Nina covered her microphone and asked if he wanted to answer.

The call made him feel a little strange. They had never contacted him privately. Even if there was something wrong, they were through Jimmy.

"Hi, Mr. Rossman, I'm Wayne."

"Director Greenberg, I heard that your agent Jimmy, started project negotiations with Warner?"

"Yes, Mr. Rossman, since Fox can't meet my requirements, we can only find other investors." There is nothing to hide from him. It's all business, so it's normal for him to fail to agree to replace people.

"Fox needs time, Wayne. We have worked very happily. You don't need to change your collaborators. Don't forget that it was Fox who released the first video for you!"

Listening to the sound coming from the microphone, Townsend Rossman was not in a good mood.

"Listen, Townsend! That's right, Fox gave me a chance, but I also created a lot of money for you. The conditions you gave me for this project are too harsh. What does Fox want to do? Make money with my project, and kick me away after shooting?

Fox released "Happy Death Day" for a large amount of revenue, and I have also generated revenue for you. We both do not owe each other. Townsend, business is just business!"

The other party's attitude made him feel a little uncomfortable, as if he should hold their thighs and have no other choice. After that, he hung up the phone.

Just before answering this call, he had always had a good impression of Townsend Roseman in his heart. After all, he gave himself a chance. Now it seems that the other party completely regarded him as a fool.

"No problem, Wayne." Jimmy looked at him worriedly.
Chapter completed!
