The Jeffrey · Hansson sitting next to me felt that he should help open the bargain, but he has n’t spoken yet. Eric has already said: "I ’m sorry, Mr. Cohen, I ’m not going to sell" Home Alone "by buying out, let ’s talk Talk about sharing agreements? "

Blunt · Cohen frowned slightly, revealing an unpleasant look: "Eric, if divided, I can only give you 18%."

"Mr. Cohen, didn't you just say 20%?" Jeffrey retorted beside him.

Blunt · Cohen said lightly: "What I just said is just an average situation. If we are to publish" Home Alone ", then the cost of announcement is definitely much higher than the production cost, 18% is very reasonable. . "

Jeffrey is about to argue, Eric blocked some impulsive Jeffrey around him: "Okay, Mr. Cohen, but I have another plan, how about we sign a gambling agreement?"

Although gambling agreements are common in the film and television industry, Blunt · Cohen still chuckles in their hearts. What is your qualification to sign an gambling agreement with Columbia? But he still signaled Eric with interest. He wanted to hear what kind of gambling conditions this little guy can make.

Eric did n’t seem to see the unabashed mocking on Blunt · Cohen ’s face and smiled and said: “50 million USD is the bottom line. Under the premise that Columbia guarantees the promotion efforts and the number of theater lines, if Home Alone ’s Box Office is low At 50 million USD, I gave away all copyright of "Home Alone" to Columbia Film Studio for free. "

After these words are finished, even Blunt · Cohen, which is accustomed to the wind and waves, is still a little touched. Their Box Office estimate of "Home Alone" is probably about 50 million USD. If you really signed the anti-gambling agreement, you only need to do something when the time comes It's a simple thing to control the movie Box Office within 50 million USD with a small action. Blunt · Cohen felt that Eric was stupid, but had to admire the courage of this young man.

And Jeffrey · Hansson suddenly stood up, with an incredible seriousness in the voice to Eric: "Eric, are you crazy?"

Eric got up and patted Jeffrey on the shoulder, motioned him to sit down, and then said: "If Box Office is within 50 million to 100 million USD, I want a 20% share, and if Box Office exceeds 100 million USD, then each Box Office of 10 million USD, my share will increase by 1%. "

After Eric finished speaking, he stopped talking and picked up the coffee to drink calmly. The Jeffrey · Hansson beside him swept fiercely between the two people. He was a little worried that Blunt · Cohen would directly agree to the absurd agreement of Eric, so the purchase cost of 10 million USD would be ruined. Ten million USD, how many people may not have seen so much money in their lifetime.

Unfortunately, Blunt · Cohen is indeed a lack of courage, and hesitated for a full five minutes, and finally said: "Eric, I need to have a meeting to discuss this matter. Can I reply to you tomorrow? "

Eric nodded and got up directly to say goodbye to Blunt · Cohen.

Come to the parking lot, Jeffrey did not get his own car, but got into the co-pilot of Eric.

"Eric, you are so impulsive. Ten million USD, it ’s gone in a blink of an eye. You can see that these comedy movies have generally achieved good Box Office over the years, but there are very few dark horses. Choose a buyout agreement, maybe you can fight for the price again? Listen to me, young people, sometimes people have only one or two opportunities in their lifetime, and if they miss it, they will never have it again. There are 10 million USD , You can continue the shoots movie and you can do a lot of things. "

Eric is now immersed in the excitement of digging the pit for Columbia Film Studio. The blood on and off the body seems to be boiling slightly. The Box Office of previous life "Home Alone" is included in Guinness World Records. Now this copied "Home Alone" and previous life Equally outstanding, he did n’t believe in the ability of Columbia, a veteran giant. The Box Office of “Home Alone” would be much worse than previous life, so at first he did n’t know how to fight for his best interests.

According to the normal share negotiation, he can only get up to 20% of the Box Office share in this small-cost movie. When he heard that Eric wanted to sign a share agreement in Blunt · Cohen, he stingly put a hundred When the 20th of a percentage fell to 18%, the Eric flashed, and only then thought of the way to make the float floating-right bet.

In the movie circle, it is very common to bet on Box Office, because usually, it is a win-win situation, both sides can avoid the risks while fighting for the greatest benefit for themselves.

If calculated according to the final 280 million USD North America Box Office of previous life "Home Alone", after signing the matchmaking agreement, Eric can finally get a 38% share, which is higher than the 35% share of those powerful producers. Moreover, according to the reaction of Blunt · Cohen after hearing his proposal, Columbia Film Studio is properly prepared to jump into the pit.

"Hey, Eric, I said so much, are you listening to me?" Jeffrey · Hansson found his nagging tongue dry, and Eric was sitting on the seat instead. Gently patted twice on the shoulder of Eric, Eric reacted.

"Okay, Jeffrey, I know you are kind to me, but you think about it, a few months ago, I had nothing at all, no matter how hard I tried, I told you a little secretly, I think, The Box Office of "Home Alone" is likely to break 200 million, you think about it, according to the agreement I proposed, how much can I get? "

Jeffrey stares at Eric with a gaze that looks at paranoid patients.

Eric smiled indifferently: "Jeffrey, I have confidence in me a little bit, OK, if it succeeds, you as the producer of the name, I will definitely give you a generous dividend, you You can redeem Firefly Film Studio from the bank for Oh, so how about doing me a favor now? "

Jeffrey dreamed of redeeming the Film Studio that he co-founded with his wife, but he did n’t take Eric seriously. Seeing that he could n’t persuade Eric to change his mind, he had to ask: “Well, Eric, what do I need to do?”

"Help me contact an Law Office and an accounting firm, no accident, Columbia will definitely agree to the agreement I proposed, and I will need someone to help me monitor and audit the implementation of the agreement, and if there is a dispute, there will be someone Help me fight the lawsuit. "

Jeffrey said: "These are all fine, but Eric, do you still have money? Even if you just ask two such teams, you need a lot of money."

"Of course," Eric opened the storage box in front of car, and pulled out a novel of "Jurassic Park" from it: "I mortgaged the follow-up royalties of" Jurassic Park "and the movie copyright, and the current" Jurassic Park " The sales situation, the low value of these two things 1 million USD is still no problem. If the bet really fails, take "Jurassic Park" to pay off, I believe those firms will not refuse. "

"Eric, you are ... crazy!"

"Every great genius has a crazy attribute."

Jeffrey spreads hands: "Well, you are not only crazy but arrogant, Aristotle can't stop you."

"Aristotle is very busy, this is what Stenda said."

"..."

Jeffrey finally agreed to help contact the firm as soon as possible. At the same time, in the conference room of Columbia Film Studio, several senior executives were negotiating the terms of gambling proposed by Eric.

"Okay, that's probably it. Let's express your opinions." Blunt · Cohen described the Eric's gambling conditions. Looking at the top executives, waiting for everyone to express their opinions.

After Blunt · Cohen was finished, most of the executives in the meeting room were a little unbelievable. Should I say that the boy was crazy or stupid?

Finally, a senior executive of the distribution department Lester · Reed said: "Mr. Cohen, this is a good opportunity, promise him. According to our estimate, this film has the highest potential for Box Office, which is 50 million. After the gambling agreement, it is very easy to limit Box Office to 50 million USD with a little operation, and we do n’t even need to buy out 10 million USD. "

After Lester · Reed was finished, the others followed.
