"What should we do?" Marcus and others were dumbfounded.
"Don't panic, I don't believe it anymore. Let's go to the Film Association about this," Mike said.
"Here, Mike, calm down. You have to know that the Film Association will intervene, but if Li Han really follows the agreement, the producer will be sent by the investors. If there is a fuss, this film will be delayed for three to five years.
.”
"But what should we do? Are we really going to let that Chinese guy say, let's sell the script for money? I absolutely can't do that." Mike said. "The worst is to break up."
"Don't be impulsive."
"How about contacting Seth MacFarlane?" one person suggested.
"Haha, he is a big director now, and he will pay attention to us third-rate and fifth-rate directors." Marcus curled his lips, not to mention how bitter his words were.
"But there is no other way now."
Mike snorted. "I will never make this call."
"I'll do it, I'll do it," the middle-aged man next to him said with a wry smile.
Seth MacFarlane is talking to several film company investors about the movie. Teddy Bear is a big hit, and Seth is now considered a hot person in Hollywood. "I'm really sorry, I have a contract with Universal Pictures."
"That's such a shame."
"I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate."
Unexpectedly, several people chatted with Seth for a while and established a good connection. Maybe there will be an opportunity to cooperate one day, Seth thought.
"Feel sorry."
Seth answered the phone. "Joe, what's the matter?"
"Seth, have I bothered you?" Joe said with a smile. "I'm really sorry. We know you are busy right now, but I really don't know how to say anything about this."
"Is it about Han?" Seth MacFarlane thought of it immediately.
"You know all that?" Joe said, a little embarrassed.
"Haha, I will have a good talk with Han, but I can't guarantee the outcome." Seth said.
"Seth, that's great," Joe said. "We're willing to terminate the contract."
"I'll talk to Han about this." Seth smiled bitterly. If you want to terminate the contract, what you want is simple.
They're offering real money, okay, you're just kidding me.
"How about that guy, what do you say?" Marcus asked in a low voice.
Although Mike said that he didn't want to hear Seth, his attention was always focused here.
"Seth said to talk to Han."
"Let's talk, haha, Seth doesn't intend to do this with all his heart. Who wouldn't think of it? He has made a lot of money for that Chinese boy. As long as he says a word, this little thing can be solved easily."
Mike said calmly.
"Mike." Joe said helplessly, this guy.
Seth, on his side, attended two drinking parties and planned to find Li Han in the evening.
Li Han was not idle. Taking advantage of Xiao Hei Hei's popularity, Li Han came into contact with many film companies.
Here, I am chatting with some filmmakers.
When I heard that Li Han had invested in several movies, everyone became interested. You know, teddy bears are now very popular and they will definitely make money. It’s just that the more they make, the less they make. Many people estimate that Li Han may make a little bit.
Five times or twice the money.
Li Han's total investment of 36 million, deducting a part, the global box office is currently estimated at 550 million, and he can get back at least 100 million US dollars. This shocked many film companies. You know, many times, a
A blockbuster, even if its box office exceeds US$500 million, may not necessarily earn US$100 million.
Compared with this kind of comedy, the investment is small, and if the box office is high, it will be a huge profit.
"Oh, Han, are you very confident about these movies?"
"I have some confidence, but something happened recently," Li Han said.
A few people knew something in their hearts and laughed without saying a word. Li Han, Marcus, and Mike had some problems because of Universal Pictures' intervention.
Li Han met several people, drinking coffee one by one and smiling. "I originally planned to terminate the contract, but I was a little reluctant to give up. I just read these movie scripts. As comedies, there is still a big market."
"Hey, I'm really in a dilemma."
"Oh, you guys, we are friends with Han. Let me tell you, Han, if you need anything, we will help you and we will not be stingy." Jonah from Telescope Entertainment said with a smile.
.
"That's right, Han, we are all friends. If you can use us for anything, don't be polite to us."
"yes."
A hint of sadness melted away from Li Han's face, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. The people across from him could see it clearly.
"Then I'm not welcome. As you all know, this time Teddy Bear, Universal Pictures has lost face. Teddy Bear II, Universal Pictures plans to invest on its own. I understand these, but who knows, I just invested here.
Universal Pictures is also planning to get involved in a few comedies. I don’t have many friends in Hollywood, but there are a few I can talk to.” Li Han said. “I’m afraid that if these good comedies are made and released, Universal Pictures will create
trouble."
Li Han said with a grimace, "Hey, I would like to divest from the project, but it's such a good project."
"Ah, since it is such a good project, it would be a pity to withdraw funding."
"Yes, script, who are you talking about? I heard that they are good friends with director Seth MacFarlane?" Jonah said with a frown while holding a cup of coffee. "As for the relationship with Universal Pictures,
It’s quite close, which is understandable.”
"But, Han, since we are friends, I will help you think of an idea." Jonah put down the coffee and said.
"Oh, tell me quickly." Li Han looked as if he had grasped the last straw.
"If you are in trouble alone, it is better to find some movie investments to invest in. This way, the problem of release will be solved in one go."
"What a great idea, but who can I turn to?"
"Han, since we are friends, I will shamelessly go and beg the guys in our investment department."
"Jonah said so, and we are absolutely unambiguous."
Li Han chuckled in his heart, and everyone said it very righteously, they are all good friends.
"Thank you very much."
Li Han said. "It's just that with this investment ratio, this project can be considered a guaranteed profit. If it were too low, Universal Pictures approached me yesterday and offered to pay five times the liquidated damages, but unfortunately I refused."
"We will definitely help you get the best conditions." Jonah and the others looked at each other and became more concerned.
Waiting for Li Han to leave, the few of them got together again. "It seems that this Chinese boy is very optimistic about these comedies."
"I just heard that Seth seems to be planning to invest in these dramas."
"What, really?"
"It seems like these movies are really good."
"How much is the specific investment?"
"The budgets of the five movies are not high, the highest is 8 million, and the lowest is only 3.5 million."
"It's so low. No wonder the Chinese won them all." Jonah said. "Everyone, I will get two of the five movies, and each of you will get one. How about it?"
"Jonah, this isn't fair."
"Yeah, we all work together, but you get two movies by yourself. This is a bit unreasonable."
Several people were arguing endlessly. Li Han, now, returned to the villa, and Seth drove over.
"Uncle Seth is coming."
Back at the villa, Dudu told Li Han that Uncle Seth would come over soon.
"Seth, I know."
Li Han, when I thought about it, I thought it was about the movie about Mike and his friends.
"Dudu, what are you doing today?"
"Dudu is working as a manager for Xiao Heihei to make money." Dudu said proudly.
"Haha, not only did you make money, but you also spent a whole day playing." Natalie said with a smile. "Han, today the amusement park invited Xiao Heihei to perform, and several little people spent a day playing in the amusement park."
"This is good. You can make money and have fun at the same time. However, Teacher Helen called me twice." Li Han said with a smile.
"ah."
Sure enough, as soon as they heard about Teacher Helen, several little people's little heads immediately dropped. Helen, recently became Dudu, Baobao, Maria and other little people's nightmares.
You know, Helen is a rather stern teacher, a villain. In the past two years, most of the teachers she met were like Cynthia, who was gentler and so serious, a bit like Mrs. Augustus, even more severe, villain, really
A little uncomfortable.
On the contrary, after several phone calls, Li Han and Zhang Xiuying talked about Helen. Zhang Xiuying liked Helen very much and fully supported Helen's education methods.
With Zhang Xiuying's support, Jennifer and Li Han agreed, Dudu's few villains could only accept Helen's strict education. Fortunately, Helen's class time was not long, and although she was strict but not rigid, the few villains were afraid but respected.
Helen
This actually surprised Li Han. Natalie and Liu Xiaoxiao often asked Helen for advice on how to subdue Master Pandora. Such an invincible baby, Helen remained silent every time.
This made Natalie and Liu Xiaoxiao even more curious, and even Li Han was a little bit curious.
