chapter 103

Seeing Martin finish the script so quickly, Jeff is nothing out of the ordinary.

He had long been surprised by his boss's incredible reading speed.

He asked:

"How does it feel, Martin?"

"Great, tell Peter, I invested this money. He wants 130 million, give it to him, and shoot it together in the trilogy!"

...

Distant New Zealand.

Peter was spitting impassionedly at a few of his friends.

"I've been waiting for this opportunity for three years, and now it's finally possible to make this dream come true, guys, come and help me, special effects, photography, props, sets, I need you." "

"Don't you need to discuss this with Martin?" said Richard Taylor.

"Hehe, Martin has delegated all these things to me, and I will not betray his trust!" said Peter Jackson with a big belly.

"Hey Peter, won't 130 million dollars not be enough, after all, this is The Lord of the Rings, we have to create another Middle-earth." "

"It should be enough, I will shoot this film in New Zealand, and try to shoot it live-action, which can reduce a lot of costs. And Ma 26 Ding allowed me to shoot back-to-back (that is, three consecutive shots), which saved me a lot of money, and we only used special effects if we couldn't find a place to replace with real scenes!"

"Maybe after the film is released, it will also promote tourism in New Zealand, and the government should give me a medal." "

Peter Jackson joked happily, but he didn't expect that the joke would come true.

"The Lord of the Rings" brings not a little traffic to New Zealand, but nearly 10 million visitors a year.

"By the way, I heard that Harvey guy doesn't invest in the movie anymore?" asked Richard curiously, "What happened?"

As soon as he heard the name "Harvey", Peter Jackson was unhappy, after all, anyone who has been PUA for three years will not have a good mood.

He snorted coldly and explained: "It was Warner Bros.'s New Line Pictures that bought Harvey's share, which is a good thing, I don't have to see the face of that dead fat pig again." "

Richard wanted to remind his friend that the word "fat pig" was used incorrectly – as if he was scolding himself, but after hesitating, he still did not speak.

Peter is on the gas head, or don't touch the mold!

That's right, it was not Warner Bros. who finally bought Harvey's share, but Warner Bros.'s "New Line Pictures".

As for why this is done?

Because Aranhorn does not have absolute confidence in this movie, and once such a large-investment film fails, the impact on the stock price is also huge.

In order to avoid dragging Warner Bros. down, Alanhorn decided to invest in the name of New Line Pictures, so that even if the film fails, the impact will be much smaller.

This is an old move, no problem!

...

Miramax Pictures.

Harvey was bragging about the investment to those around him in his office.

"You see, how right my investment is, I've made money before the movie is made, haha. "

"Harvey, congratulations!"

Ben Afrik toasted Harvey.

Bob frowned, "In case this movie sells…"

"Impossible!" Harvey interrupted his brother with a wave of his hand, "I know Peter Jackson too well, he is also a B-grade film director, and he can't control this kind of big production." "

Matt Damon also frowned and said, "But why did Warner vote?"

It's just Warner Bros. showing favor to Martin, and they don't have confidence in this movie, otherwise why wouldn't Warner Bros. vote for it themselves?

"So if we withdraw like this, will it affect the relationship with Martin?" Matt Damon was indeed smart and saw the crux of the matter.

Harvey hesitated and said, "It's okay, when this movie fails, I'll go and ask for warmth." Hehe, maybe he can buy the copyright of those books in his hands at a lower price. "

Bob glanced at his brother and felt that his brother was a little floating?

Didn't you see Warner Bros. losing money for Martin?

If this movie really fails, and there are more people rushing to hush and ask for warmth, will Martin still see us in his eyes?

But he didn't say anything either.

Because, Harvey has been a bit arbitrary lately, and he can't listen to other people's opinions!

Let's talk about it later!

Bob thought to himself.

Matt Damon, who was sitting next to him, touched his chin, secretly pondering something in his heart… (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

He has a hunch that as long as Martin succeeds again, I am afraid that he will turn from a pawn of capital to capital itself, after all, he has such a family lineage, if I …

He glanced up at the triumphant Harvey and finally let go of the thought.

It's not time yet!

...

Warner Bros. headquarters.

Aranhorn is convincing board members.

"On this movie, we must advance and retreat with Martin, he wants to increase investment, we also add, he wants to give power to Peter Jackson, and we also promise that as long as we have a good relationship with Martin, even if this movie loses, we will earn more in the future!"

"Isn't Martin the producer of this trilogy movie, isn't it? "

"Wrong, he's a genius!"

"No matter how genius is, he is only a child less than fourteen years old!"

This director is a bit more real.

Of course, because it's about his money.

"Believe me, Ma 047 Ding is definitely not an ordinary child, his brain, his thinking is more mature than many adults. "

Speaking of which, Alanhorn remembered the scene when he had a face-to-face exchange with Martin about this investment, and he was impressed by the teenager's mature conversation and quick thinking.

Since that conversation, he has unconsciously become more and more trusting Martin, willing to trust his judgment, willing to act with him…

He also discovered this, and attributed it to Martin's eloquence and affinity, which in turn strengthened his idea of following Martin, because-

Aren't people with these two abilities more likely to succeed!

Isn't the so-called Hollywood also a place that constantly chases successes, which is essentially no different from Wall Street!!

Eventually, Alanhorn managed to convince board members.

...

When Jeff hung up Alanhorn's phone, he was already shocked.

"Martin, Alanhorn said on the phone, Warner Bros. is willing to be your concerted actor!

"Seriously, this is amazing, how the hell did you convince him?

Martin laughed and said nothing!!
