But even Emma didn't expect that after Li Qing appeared, she was so nervous that she couldn't say a word.
Li Qing directly brought an entire team, a dozen people, to the meeting place.
Li Qing, who was walking at the front, walked with long legs and was full of energy. Although he was only wearing a simple cotton and linen suit, his leather shoes were making a sound on the ground. His aura also became very strong with the sound of footsteps.
It was so powerful that Emma felt as if she was overwhelmed by a mountain.
It wasn't until Tony took the initiative to introduce that Emma came back to her senses, put her name tag on the table, and stretched out her hand awkwardly: "Hi, I'm Emma Christiana, you can call me Emma, I
He is an actor..."
Apart from this, there are no other words that can be used to express my feelings.
All the lines and actions designed in advance disappeared in the face of the powerful aura.
In front of the slightly quiet conference table, Li Qing frowned slightly, then smiled and shook hands with Emma: "Hello."
He actually noticed Emma early on. This white girl holding a name tag with "I love you Li Qing" in her hand seemed to be his fan? But after hearing her introduce herself as an actor, Li Qing obviously thought
What did he say? He pursed his lips, but didn't say much.
Tony laughed: "Emma is one of the most well-known actresses in our company, and her acting skills are very good. Scott and I are very optimistic about her, and the media once believed that she would win the Oscar for Best Actress in the past two years.
…”
Li Qing understood in his heart, and he nodded, "In this case, Miss Emma can come and participate in the audition for the heroine of our movie."
"Do you think I can do it?" Emma asked in surprise.
Li Qing smiled: "Your appearance is still very good, and it fits the appearance setting of the heroine in the play. However, in addition to superb acting skills and perfect appearance, Lucy's character has more characteristics that are difficult to reveal.
Actors need to overcome it, which is something that cannot be reflected simply by dictating the script."
After he finished speaking, he ignored Emma's confused expression, looked at the team behind him, and said to Tony: "Teacher Tony, it's important, let's get started now.
A little busy."
"k!k!" Tony said repeatedly.
Subsequently, Max Films’ lawyers and financial team also joined the camp of customizing contracts.
Because they had communicated on the phone in advance, and both parties agreed on the contents of the contract, there was no dispute at the scene, and Legendary’s legal team quickly sorted out the contents of the contract.
Li Qing contributed two-thirds of the funds, and naturally got the corresponding box office revenue. Max invested $100 million, and got the remaining one-third.
This is just an initial project sharing division, because after that, the directors, screenwriters and even some big-name actors will also have to count the income. But at present, no big-name actors will be involved in this movie that has cost a huge amount of money to create.
It's stupid to ask for sky-high remuneration. In fact, the crew will not invite actors who are too famous.
So in terms of box office share, maybe there are only two people: the director and the screenwriter.
Scott is the spiritual king of Max Films. Although he has not released any works for three years, the subsequent profits from his works still provide a strong financial support for him and make his reputation in Hollywood.
There is no downward trend.
Almost all of Scott's previous films were based on a box office dividend model.
However, this time, a super movie with an investment of up to 300 million US dollars is obviously different from the past.
After receiving the call, Scott came to the conference room and said bluntly: "I won't get a penny. As long as this movie can be made by me, I will be very satisfied."
This made Li Qing and Tony dumbfounded, but Scott said righteously: "To be honest, although the investment budget of this movie is as high as 300 million US dollars, I personally am not optimistic about the box office of this movie. In the global market
It may be possible to recoup the cost, but it probably won't have much box office expectations. I made this movie just to fulfill my dream, so I will pay for my dream."
Scott's dream is to shoot the most gorgeous pictures, and the most gorgeous pictures cost money.
Max Films is just a private independent film company. Although it seems to the outside world that it has strong capital, when it comes to special effects works, it is often stretched thin.
Tony felt guilty about this, but Scott didn't blame him much.
According to his assumptions and calculations, not to mention Max Pictures, none of the six major film companies in the world today can spend 300 million US dollars to let him, Scott, control it.
Even if Scott is a world-class director, he is not willing to spend even 100 million US dollars in production fees at one time to let Scott go through the trouble.
Special effects are extremely expensive. One hundred million US dollars is just a budget. Once it is actually put into production, you will often find that this is a bottomless pit.
But Max Pictures is willing to leave itself to Scott.
Even if the overall strength of Max Films limits the development space of Scott's works, the so-called scholar will die for his confidant. This alone is enough for Scott to stay in Max Films willingly without any complaints.
.
And now, the super work worth 300 million US dollars is here!
This is enough to make the special effects spark in Scott's mind completely bloom!
He is very excited.
During the recent period, Scott's brain has been extremely active. Although the script has been withdrawn by Li Qing, with the pictures in his mind, Scott spent two days and actually wrote a book about "Titanic"
Split shot drama.
Among them, the story, characters, and scenes are almost indistinguishable from Li Qing's "Titanic".
Watching the world in the script every day, Scott has formed perfect pictures in his mind.
But he also knows clearly that although the movie "Titanic" has shocking scenes, its core selling point is too ordinary, because it is not that there have been no sinking movies in the past, but most of the box office is not as good as expected.
Therefore, how to create new selling points requires a test of Scott's personal directing ability.
Because he was not sure whether he would lose money, Scott decided to direct for zero pay!
For yourself and for others.
Tony sighed, he knew that once Scott decided something, it would be difficult to change it.
After a few words of helpless persuasion, Tony looked at Li Qing, who looked stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Then, this is all the content of the contract."
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said: "I am very moved by Director Scott's zero-pay directorship. I also know Director Scott's concerns. In this way, if the North American box office of "Titanic" exceeds 100 million in the future, you will
Just take away 10 million in dividends. If it exceeds one billion, you will take away 100 million, but only in North America. Director Scott, what do you think?"
Scott was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head: "Leesin, since I said it was zero pay, it is zero pay. The decision made by me, Raven Scott, will not change because of anything."
Li Qing smiled, raised his hand, and all the lawyers behind him stopped. Then, Li Qing said: "If you don't agree, then there is no need to continue this cooperation."
Scott frowned.
At this time, Tony and Emma looked at Li Qing for a while and Scott for a while, with frightened eyes.
Damn it!
This... what kind of operations are these?
One insisted on sending money!
One insists on not charging!
Damn it! How can there be such a person in this world who treats money like dirt!
"I can agree."
Scott felt a little touched in his heart. He looked at Li Qing and said seriously: "But there is a premise. If the North American box office is less than 500 million US dollars, then I will still not take any money."
