America's Big Hero

High-end ingredients often only need to use the simplest...

……

"5 million!" Warner's Bill Sarnoff said, staring at Sean.

"You're fucking crazy, aren't you!" Sean rolled his eyes and scolded.

"4.9 billion!"

Sean pointed at Bill with a speechless face.

"4.8!"

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up now!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"Negotiations, you always have to ask for a price!" Bill spread his hands, "The business is worth hundreds of millions, almost hundreds of millions."

"I'll give you one last chance to organize your words!" Sean said angrily.

"2.5 million!" Bill said simply.

"Test me, didn't you? I frankly agreed, but you think I'm hiding something?" Three days later, at the same place, Sean saw Bill Sarnoff again.

"Is it interesting to play this game with me?"

"There is no old or new method, as long as it works." Bill Sarnoff admitted with a bachelor.

"Spicy ratio!" Rubbing his teeth, with open swords and guns, and open fire, Xiao En really had nothing to do.

"Okay 2.5, I want it!" Xiao En agreed as soon as he gritted his teeth.

"We want to retain part of the copyright!" Bill Sarnoff immediately pushed forward, business negotiations, it has always been like this!

Try it and don't suffer...

"Get out!" Sean scolded directly: "What I want is a full acquisition!"

"Some of the rights to Superman are no longer in our hands."

"It's not that you're talking shit to me, what does that have to do with you, don't talk nonsense, you're kidding me, are you sure?" Sean's eyes widened, his whole body was boiling with murderous aura, as if he was about to beat someone at any time.

Beat it up, beat it up, Murdoch is beaten up!

It's a big deal to lose money!

"OK, OK, listen to me." Bill Sarnoff was immediately persuaded.

This negotiation is different from what he has experienced before. In the past, the negotiation of hundreds of millions could not be reached within half a year or a year. Sean is here for a few days...

The key is to give generously.

"The only thing that is valuable in DC is IP, and the comic book market cannot recover, we all know that." Bill Sarnoff looked at Sean seriously and said: "Mr. Sean's talent, Hollywood Everyone knows, so we have a necessary requirement, shares."

"What we suggest is to set up a new company, with both parties holding shares and developing together!"

"Why should I share my talent with you? Why is my face so big?" Sean leaned on the seat and looked at him with contempt.

"We have IPs!"

"IP in your hands is garbage, nothing!"

"We have IPs!"

"But you will only lose money if you shoot!"

"We have IPs!"

Sean: "..."

Chapter 334: Out of money again?

It was as if the phrase 'you were beaten by a monkey' was always lingering in Sean's ears, making Sean so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Of course, that's talking.

For a serious business negotiation, Sean will not really start, he is not the kind of person with a small belly.

"Mr. Sean, Mr. Sean!" Bill Sarnoff suddenly jumped up from the chair, panicked on his face, sweating, and the chair was brought upside down with a bang.

"You, you, put the plate down!!"

"Ah!?" Sean looked down at the plate in his hand, and then at the panicked Bill Sarnoff, "Hey, why did this thing get into my hand!"

Bill Sarnoff laughed dryly, are you asking me that?

"I said that the plate ran into my hand by itself, do you believe it?" Sean took a look at the tray under the coffee cup, and then asked with a serious face.

"I believe, I believe, let's put it down first." Bill Sarnoff nodded quickly, now what are you talking about.

"Then sell me the DC, don't mess with me!"

"This won't work!" Bill Sarnoff shook his head like a rattle, "Mr. Sean, listen to me, under normal circumstances, in the entire Hollywood, the big productions are really multi-collaborative."

"No one is 100% sure about making money, right? It is very important to share risks. This is necessary to ensure the smooth development of the company. This time, a failed investment will not cause the company to go bankrupt directly."

"It's like Once Upon a Time in America!"

"But my movies have never lost money!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"That's the problem!" Bill Sarnoff spread his hands helplessly, "Warner also believes that your vision is unparalleled. You have produced the most successful films in Hollywood in recent years. Therefore, the board of directors believes that DC Once your IP is in your hands, it will definitely be carried forward, and you will be able to make a big production that shocks the world."

"Success is in sight, and everyone on the board of directors thinks this is a great opportunity!"

"A gold mine is right in front of you, and you can get a lot of gold when you walk in. Who wouldn't be tempted?"

Sean: "..."

Is this flattery or flattery or flattery?

Co-authoring Lao Tzu is too successful has become the problem!

Seeing that Sean was a little moved, Bill Sarnoff immediately raised his stake again, "If it were you, Mr. Sean, would you give up such a cooperation opportunity?"

Sean almost blurted out on the spot, "No"!

"I don't like working with people!"

"We have IP, and Mr. Xiao En has an idea. It's a matter of mutual benefit, isn't it?"

"It's like I'm cutting flesh!" Sean gritted his teeth.

"Our two sides co-produced, almost no need for publicity, this matter can be popular in the United States!" Bill Sarnoff eloquently said, "This is a treasure house, if it is in the hands of Warner, you can't let us just throw away the key, right? !"

"I don't really care if it's money or not." Sean put down the coffee tray in his hand.

Bill Sarnoff glanced at it, finally relaxed his body, bent over to lift up the stool and sat back.

When the plate was put down, it was like the valve in Xiao En's heart was opened. He knew that the matter was basically done, and his whole face was full of smiles!

"For a movie or something, it takes a year and a half, sometimes more, from filming to release to getting paid back, and it still doesn't make much money!" Sean said hesitantly and depressed.

Bill Sarnoff suddenly raised his head and stared at Sean, his smile froze on his face, and the flesh on his face trembled, how the hell did you say that.

You earned at least 4 million yuan from a few movies, and that’s not counting the follow-up copyright development, TV operation, video tape income, and IP value.

Sean could tell what Bill Sarnoff was thinking at a glance, the corners of his mouth were curled up, his head was raised, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked at Bill through his nostrils, "Why, isn't it?"

"I have earned billions of dollars over the past three years. Is this a lot of income from movies?"

Bill Sarnoff: "…"

Shocked, depressed, envious, jealous, angry... all kinds of expressions kept changing, and he was completely stunned.

With trembling hands, he moved towards his coffee cup a little bit.

If it weren't for fear of death, I'd splash a cup of coffee on your face!

After a while, Bill Sarnoff finally recovered, smiled again and said, "Since Mr. Sean doesn't care about earning more or less, wouldn't it be a good idea for everyone to hold shares together?"

"Don't even think about it!" Sean snorted, "It's not a matter of money or not, I just hate people pointing fingers at me and pushing me."

"Of course, I'm also thinking about your safety!" Sean glanced coldly at the past, "Flying dogs, fighting for power, I messed up things, I sent them to the Antarctic to feed penguins!!"

"At that time, I will say that Sean is evil, and the hat will be put on my head, as if I, Sean, are some kind of bad guy."

The corners of Bill Sarnoff's mouth kept twitching. Let's talk about cooperation. Can we not talk about such a scary thing?

But think about Sean's style, those faraway Malays, not to mention Asan and his like, are in Hollywood, just in Los Angeles, because there are hundreds of people who died at the order of Sean.

Can't help Bill Sarnoff not paying attention.

Others may be intimidating when they say this, but the person in front of him is stating the facts.

"Then tell me, how can you be satisfied with a cooperation method." Bill Sanov's tone was subconsciously respectful again.

It's not fear, it's the simplest way to follow from the heart.

"When did I say I agreed to cooperate!" Sean expressed contempt for the other party's behavior of climbing along the slope.

Bill Sarnoff smiled and said nothing.

"I'm filming, um, I just like art and communication, and it's also to satisfy the vanity of those women." Sean coughed dryly.

"I understand, I understand, we Warner, whether in the music or film industry, there are many, many little girls who adore Mr. Sean." Bill Sarnoff specially emphasized the little girl, Sean likes Hollywood people Everyone knows.

Sean didn't seem to hear it, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, man, who hasn't got any hobbies, you love me.

After pondering for a while, Sean made a condition, "Well, you are just trying to make money, so you can add an investment priority for DC-related IP works in the contract. After all, it is impossible for you to be optimistic about all works, so as not to conflict with your views at that time. , everyone is unhappy, so it is better to be more flexible in the way of cooperation."

"However, the investment amount cannot exceed 30%, and the shooting cannot be interfered with." Sean looked at Bill Sarnoff, "It's okay to give opinions, I will choose to accept it or not, but, I hate other people's gossip, I understand. "

"Understood, understood." Bill Sarnoff nodded, he was satisfied with the 30% investment, too high and too risky.

What Warner took a fancy to here was Sean's vision and production ability, and it was because of this that they tried their best to get involved.

For the rights in the crew, Warner is not fancy, they just want to make money!

Of course, this is what the board of directors think, and what the people below think is another matter.

Within a framework, Bill Sarnoff has the right to negotiate. Of course, this is also due to Sean's behavior style. The board of directors had to delegate power to Bill Sarnoff to speed up the progress of the negotiations.

Sean only gave it three days.

The price was finally set at 2.2, and Sean didn't want to be called a fool.

As for the details of the contract, that is a matter for the legal teams of both parties. If Sean agrees, everything will be OK.

The acquisition proceeded extremely quickly, and three days later, the two parties collectively announced the transfer of DC Comics from Warner to Sean Pictures.

I didn't get any news from the outside world beforehand, including the inside of DC comics...

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately shocked the entire United States!

Although DC, or the comic circle is in decline, it is not as good as before, but how many people in the United States have not read Marvel or DC comics?

Superman, Batman, Catwoman, these characters are familiar to everyone.

The sudden transfer of the company caused a sensation all over the United States.

Bill Sarnoff is right, the cooperation between the two parties does not require any external publicity to become popular.

"There are some difficulties in the operation of DC." Bill Sarnoff said at the press conference, "but this is not the fundamental reason for this transaction."

"Mr. Sean said that he is a fan of DC comics, in order to fulfill a childhood dream."

"Is there anything greater than a dream?"

"no!"

"Many people know that Mr. Xiao En is a super rich man, famous and owns the world's largest private military company, but more people don't know that Mr. Xiao En is also an artist!"

"Yes, everyone, you heard me right. Mr. Sean is an artist, a great artist. He has an extraordinary understanding and appreciation of movies."

""The Great Heist", "Die Hard", "Instinct", "Three Dads and a Baby" and so on, in just a few years, Mr. Xiao En wrote the script and acted as the producer of several films that caused a sensation in Hollywood. , the whole of North America, the whole world."

"His vision is unparalleled, his sense of smell is extremely keen, and we all believe that DC Comics will be reborn under Mr. Sean's gaze."

"Mr. Sean will definitely bring the most perfect hero to comic fans all over the world!"

"Leading the entire DC, all the superheroes shine in the world again!"

Watching Bill Sarnoff dancing and talking on TV, Sean pointed to the TV with satisfaction and said, "This guy is good in everything, in business, at the negotiating table, and in character, he is very good." , the only shortcoming is that she loves to tell the truth, too sincere, too real, this, is not good!"

Shen Bi squinted at Xiao En, "Oh, bah!"

"Why are you so disgusting, stinky, don't you want to see others being praised?" Sean glared at old man Shen Bi.
