Selling off Escape from the Dead Town

All Kevin has to do is to sell 30% of the proceeds to Warner.

In theory, if it is foreign capital, there is actually no income from copyright. Hollywood will not give this part of the most important copyright income to others, but Kevin is an editor, director and producer. one.

Coupled with his previous reputation for Chainsaw Horror, this made Warner loose. Of course, because they are in the honeymoon period of cooperation, there is a follow-up Mission Impossible income hanging, otherwise, even if there is this income, Warner also has a 10,000 reasons to default.

"Kevin, here you are."

Jeff Robinoff's face was full of smiles, and even the wrinkles were smoothed out. Obviously, something happy happened that made him smile so happily.

"Robinov, I'm looking for you to discuss that I will sell the follow-up copyright income from escaping the Dead Town to you at a one-time discount of 50%. I don't know if you have any intention of accepting it?"

Kevin's 50% discount, if inflation is included, as well as future copyright development, may be sold directly for only 30% off.

Robinov frowned, and suddenly said very generously:

"Kevin, have you encountered any difficulties and how much money do you need?"

"If the amount is not too large, I can lend it directly to you on behalf of Warner Bros."

In the face of Kevin, the director who has made two consecutive films, Robinoff is very generous.

Lending him money is undoubtedly a good opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the two sides.

Kevin shook his head, pretending to be helpless:

"I also have to prepare the plan for the next movie in advance. According to my thoughts, it is also a big production and requires a lot of funds."

Robinoff nodded, at least on the surface he believed Kevin's words.

The main thing, of course, is that it's not a loss for Warner.

This is actually a good project to pay cash to get a long-term stable return, which will definitely be approved by Warner's executives.

And there is another point, Escape is a good movie that is extremely suitable for the Oscars, and Warner Bros. executives have been arguing about it for a long time.

Regarding whether to pay the public relations expenses, rush the prize for escaping the fatal town.

After completing the acquisition of New Line Film Company today, it also means that the copyright income of Escape from the Dead Town belonging to New Line Film has been attributed to Warner Bros.

If you buy the copyright in Kevin's hands again, then 80% of the income from escaping the fatal town will belong to Warner Bros.

With this share, then there is no problem in rushing to win the prize for escaping the death penalty.

but···

Is Kevin aware of the internal debate at Warner Bros.?

Robinoff looked at Kevin carefully, thought about it, and decided to buy the copyright and subsequent income directly.

Although he is happy to have a good relationship with Kevin, his identity is always the president of Warner Bros., and he always does things from the interests of Warner Bros.

Moreover, Chong Ao succeeded. Although Kevin would not get monetary benefits, his reputation and status in the circle could be improved, and he would not suffer.

After weighing all the pros and cons, Robinoff decisively said:

"In this case, as the president of Warner Bros., I agree, but it will probably take a while to calculate the follow-up income for escaping from the town, and it will take some time for this income to be handed over to you."

Kevin nodded, agreeing with Robinoff's approach.

Later, at Robinoff's strong invitation, the three of them had a meal at a nearby high-end restaurant, and Robinoff, the president, took the lead in checking out and leaving.

Warner Bros. and his party, this is the end.

Kevin and Dawson walked out of the hotel, and Kevin asked:

"Dawson, have you found the assistant and driver you helped me find?"

Dawson nodded.

"I found them all. The assistant is your junior, a graduate of the University of Southern California. She is twenty-four years old this year, one year younger than you."

"I have been in Hollywood for a year, and I basically understand the operation and business content of various institutions in Hollywood..."

Kevin interrupted his chatter and asked directly:

"Is she pretty?"

"certainly!"

As a visual animal, although he may not attack the assistant, if he looks ugly, he cannot accept it.

After all, they are people who want to work together for a long time.

Poor ability can be cultivated, but it is difficult to grow ugly.

After getting the answer he wanted, Kevin said decisively:

"She's the assistant, what about the driver?"

Following Kevin's words, Dawson continued:

"The driver was also found, but...he is a Chinese..."

Although the character created by Kevin is an equal rights person, Dawson knows that Kevin does not like black people very much. Similarly, whether he likes Chinese is also a problem.

But this Chinese was so suitable that Dawson couldn't help but want to recommend that person to Kevin.

"Um!"

Kevin nodded and motioned for Dawson to continue the introduction.

Kevin, who was a Chinese in his previous life, naturally cannot discriminate against Chinese. On the contrary, many advantages of Chinese are visible to the naked eye.

As long as the net worth is innocent, there is no problem in appointing such a Chinese as his bodyguard and driver.

Seeing that Kevin did not discriminate against Chinese, Dawson continued:

"He is a 30-year-old Chinese, 1.75 meters tall, and lives in Chinatown. He has parents and two younger sisters at home. He was a soldier, but he retired early because of a mistake. Now he is in a martial arts gym in Chinatown. as a sparring partner."

"Sounds good, you ask him to find me at my villa in Beverly Hills tomorrow, don't forget to pay him the toll."

"As an assistant, you should arrange for her to stay in the company for a few days first, and I will contact her after a while. I have other things in these days."

After arranging chores, Kevin and Dawson went to the bank together, and then Kevin left the bank with a stack of checks and drove back to Beverly Hills.

....

"Kevin!"

"Kevin!"

"Julie!"

"Hayak!"

Julie is okay. With Kevin filming, he can basically see him every day.

Hayek left Kevin for so long, and his fiery feelings burst out in an instant.

...

Kevin, who was in his prime, was completely unable to withstand the beaten defeat of the two women. The two women then let Kevin go and started playing on their own.

Seeing the two big beauties by his side, Kevin, who was humble and guilty, quietly crawled out the door and poured a bottle of carbonated drink before he regained his anger.

Although they were all his women, Julie got a lot more benefits from him. Kevin made up his mind that in the next movie, he would also hold a hand of Salma Hay. Jacques.

Sitting on the large sofa in the hall, Kevin pondered the situation of Marvel again.

He arranged for a spy in Marvel to provide information to Dawson.
