Heads Up Hollywood

Although this was just a private banquet, Tang En and Michael Ovitz were the decision makers of Legendary Pictures, and Barry Meyer was the CEO of Warner Bros., who happened to be in charge of business negotiations in this area.

The seemingly casual conversation between the three directly defined the cooperation between the two companies.

Negotiations went very well.

Legendary Pictures will invest a total of 240 million US dollars in three phases within the next two years, and participate in the production of 40 Warner Bros. films, accounting for 20% of the shares.

Warner Bros. will first collect 10% of the distribution fee for the future income of the film, and then distribute the rest with Legendary Pictures in proportion to their shareholding.

Legendary Pictures will own 20% of the copyright and future income of 40 films, and will have the right to supervise and suggest certain positions during the film production process, including but not limited to producers, directors, leading actors and actresses, etc. Position.

The content of the negotiation did not need to be kept secret, so Tang En generously brought Penelope Cruz by his side, which gave him a feeling of waking up to the power of the world and lying drunk on the lap of a beauty.

Not to mention Penelope Cruz, she watched Tang En calmly talk in front of Michael Ovitz and Barry Meyer, two Hollywood bigwigs, her fiery eyes were full of admiration .

In terms of age, he is 4 years younger than himself!

However, Tang En is a miracle. In front of him, you will always ignore his actual age inadvertently.

Every time Penelope Cruz lay in his arms, or tactfully made love under him, she felt like a little woman, while the other side was a majestic and majestic mountain!

Tang En has achieved such a great reputation at such a young age, and has the qualifications to negotiate terms with Barry Meyer, which is too shocking.

Especially under close admiration, Penelope Cruz felt that she had returned to her first love ten years ago, with a feeling of bumping around like a deer.

"It would be great if I could be his girlfriend? Even if he has a thousand or ten thousand lovers outside, I'd be willing!" Penelope Cruz had tears in her eyes, thought to herself, and then sighed faintly. .

It's a pity that she could feel that Tang En was only interested in her body, and had no intention of getting to know each other further.

And she also knew that compared to Natalie, she really had no advantage at all.

A private banquet soon came to an end.

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have also initially reached an agreement on the platter investment cooperation.

Just wait for the two parties to perfect some cooperation details, and after the lawyer's assurance, the contract can be completed.

It won't be too long. It is estimated that a press conference will be held in early October.

Barrymeyer was in a very good mood. Seeing Twain, who was proud of himself, whispering and joking with Penelope Cruz, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Twain, didn't you say that you have two requests? The first is The request is to arrange two heroines for Miss Cruz, I agree, what about the second one?"

Tang En blinked, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "The second request, speaking of it, is not a request, but I just want to inform Warner."

"Oh? What is it?"

"It's like this. When I bought the copyright of "Harry Potter", Warner helped me a little. Dunn Pictures signed a priority cooperation agreement with Warner, saying that if Dunn Pictures casts "Harry Potter" in the future "Special", Warner has priority investment rights."

As soon as Tang En finished speaking, Barry Meyer immediately understood what he meant.

Back then, Tang En Pictures was weak and had little capital. To invest in a commercial blockbuster like "Harry Potter", it had to attract foreign investment.

But now the situation is different, not to mention the huge amount of money in Tang En Capital's hands, but Tang En Pictures alone, because the movie "Spiderman" will also be a big hit!

Although he doesn't know the specific data, but judging from past experience, the big sales of "Spider-Man" will bring at least 500 million to Dunn Films in the next year through box office, TV copyright, video tape sales, etc. Net proceeds in dollars!

Tang En Pictures' wings are strong now, there is no shortage of money, and "Harry Potter" is extremely popular now, Tang En has no plans to cooperate with Warner to develop this series, and plans to do it alone!

Barry Meyer must be feeling very uncomfortable.

Regardless of the fact that the two parties signed only a preferential cooperation agreement, as long as Tang En Pictures does not attract foreign investment, then Warner will not be able to participate in the "Harry Potter" project. This is a legal guarantee.

However, in terms of Hollywood rules, Warner helped Tang En Pictures buy the copyright of the "Harry Potter" series, and Tang En Pictures had to give up part of the profits.

This is basic common sense!

Michael Ovitz saw Barry Meyer's displeasure, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, Dunn Pictures and Warner are not jointly developing the "The Chronicles of Narnia" series? In my opinion, They're pretty much the same. In order to promote "Harry Potter", this kid, Tang En, even put a hard advertisement in "Spider-Man", which took a lot of thought."

Barry Meyer immediately understood what he meant—Twain had put a lot of effort into the "Harry Potter" series, and he couldn't afford to lose.

"Since it's a priority cooperation agreement, let's follow the contract? Hehe, Warner isn't like Disney, who overwhelms people with power, not to mention...we are partners now, right?"

"That's right!"

Tang En laughed happily, feeling at ease.

The platter investment plan is really a big killer!

Not only did it help Tang En Pictures resolve Disney's blockade crisis, it also helped Tang En Pictures win over Warner Bros. as a backer, and more importantly, solved the problem of "Harry Potter".

Tang En's original idea was that after the success of the first "The Chronicles of Narnia", he would transfer the series to Warner to appease the other party's anger, allowing Tang En Pictures to independently develop "Harry Potter" series.

Because the series of "The Chronicles of Narnia" is very peculiar.

In the previous life, only the first movie sold well, and the second movie lost money. Disney sold the copyright to 20th Century Fox, and as a result, the third film produced by Fox suffered an even greater failure.

To put it bluntly, the "The Chronicles of Narnia" series is a deceitful project!

Tang En held this project in his hands, and only planned to use the first film to make money, and then find an opportunity to sell the copyright of the sequel, earn enough profits for Tang En Pictures, and take advantage of the situation to deceive people.

Now, Warner took the initiative to show his favor, and Barry Meyer also met his two conditions, so Tang En didn't need to cheat Warner.

Maybe……

Can you pit Disney, which is weak in the film field?

Tang En's eyes lit up, and he felt that it was very reliable.

...

That night, Tang En went home early.

Penelope Cruz showed her utmost tenderness and gave Tang En the most enjoyable enjoyment. She even took the initiative to find lubricating oil, and handed it to Tang En shyly. It's another taste for you to pick.

She has a great figure, high bust and waist, perfect curves.

Don't look at Tang En criticizing Barbie dolls so violently, but this kind of figure can bring men greater pleasure, far more attractive than the "healthy and free" figures of Kardashian and Beyoncé.

When the clouds collected and the rain cleared, Tang En hugged her curvy body, and said happily, very satisfied: "Although you are famous in Spain, but in Hollywood, you are still a newcomer, you have to keep a low profile, be humble and polite, Don't think that with my support, you can be domineering, it's not good."

Penelope Cruz leaned her white chin against his chest and nodded again and again, "I know, I will never play big cards."

The other party's character is very good, Tang En knew it very well, and gave a light "um", "Don't look at Warner has promised to give you two heroines, but don't have too much hope, they must be vase roles, no It's going to be brilliant."

"ah?"

Penelope Cruz was taken aback, slightly disappointed.

Tang En smiled and pinched her on the nose, "Don't worry, you are so good, I will definitely not watch you fend for yourself. Act in two Warner movies first, let's get familiar, and when the time is right, I will I will personally arrange a role for you, and when the time comes... I will let you enjoy the taste of the Oscars."

"Oscar?" Penelope Cruz exclaimed, with unconcealable excitement flashing on her face, "I... can I?"

"I said yes, so I definitely can!" Tang En's face was calm, but he had a strong sense of confidence, "Nomination is very simple. As for whether you can win the award, it depends on your strength."

Penelope Cruz mutters, "Oscars...Oscars..."

"What? Not confident?"

"No, I can! Tang En, as long as you give me a chance, I can definitely!"

"Opportunities are not given by others, you fight for them yourself, understand? This is Hollywood, no matter how pitiful you are, no one will pity you!"

"I see."

Penelope Cruz took a deep breath, felt that there was something in Tang En's words, and said tentatively, "Tang En, have you ever been to Spain?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "During Cannes, I swam through Madrid with Nat and watched a Real Madrid football match. What's wrong?"

Penelope Cruz had a look of ecstasy on her face, "I have some good sisters in Spain, and they are also very beautiful actresses. If there is a chance, I can introduce them to you..."

Tang En's heart skipped a beat, "Isn't your thinking too jumpy?"

Of course he understood what the other party meant, and he certainly didn't want to push the sisters to Hollywood. Hollywood only needs one Penelope Cruz.

Penelope Cruz bit her lip, like a fan girl, "You are in my heart, just like God, you can have everything. I believe in them, and I would like to know a big man like you."

"God?" Tang En laughed dumbly, "This is too exaggerated."

"No, this is my truth." Penelope Cruz said solemnly, "Twain, if... I mean, if you want, I can give you a child, an illegitimate child, I I don't care. There is an actress in the UK named Kate Beckinsale who has an illegitimate daughter and is doing well."

Tang En shuddered and glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"All right."

Penelope Cruz pouted.

Tang En frowned, "This matter is too big, let me think about it, at least I can't hide it from Nat."

"ah?"

Penelope Cruz was speechless in astonishment.

Should I tell Natalie about this too? This is an illegitimate child!

The relationship between Tang En and Natalie is really strange!
