Catherine also said, "This is what I managed to negotiate for you. If we followed Vice President Blake's intentions, you might have only received $8 million."
"Twelve million dollars..." Xu Fu completely registered the allocation Catherine gave him, while carefully considering that this amount was indeed not small.
Xu Fu was only one of the producers, and his small studio was also a distributor for Universal Pictures. Universal Pictures spared no effort in providing various resources during the film's production process. Undoubtedly, this was their contribution. The distribution of profits usually meant that small studios were at the mercy of the larger studios.
After careful consideration, Xu Fu made a bold decision.
"I'm giving up the basic returns. Let's recalculate based on the box office."
Hearing Xu Fu's words, the four big shots, as well as the secretaries and assistants present, were thrown into a frenzy. Only Catherine's expression remained unchanged as she calmly pondered.
"I believe the box office for 'Coup' will definitely be a big hit." Xu Fu looked at the computer screen and said, "After deducting distribution costs and expenses, if the film's total box office profit is less than $100 million, our studio will only receive a fee of $500,000. However, if the total box office profit exceeds $100 million, my company, Titan Pictures, can receive 25% of the amount exceeding $100 million."
"An interesting choice." Catherine looked at Xu Fu with interest, "Are you sure? You'll only get $500,000 instead of the $12 million I allocated to you." She tapped her folder.
What a great way to get rich! Having spoken, Xu Fu was not prepared to go back on his word.
"Of course, I'm sure. If you agree, Miss Kennedy, we can sign the agreement now." Xu Fu smiled.
"The people I usually deal with, the best filmmakers in the industry, are relatively young, in their 40s. And those who are older, like Ridley Scott, are already in their 70s. This is the first time I've sat at the table with a young man like you to discuss box office issues."
But Xu Fu had deliberately left a beard today, and his hair was pulled back, making him look at least four or five years older than usual.
"I admire you, kid."
Catherine rested her chin on her hand and smiled approvingly at Xu Fu. Then she instructed her assistant to prepare a contract agreement, while uttering two or three intimate words to deflect the objections of a big shot at Universal Pictures.
Soon, Xu Fu, representing his studio, had signed a contract agreement with the big shots at Universal Pictures.
Clearly, this was a gamble for Xu Fu: either he lost everything, or he made a fortune. Furthermore, Xu Fu not only had to wait for the film to be shot, but he also had to build connections and find any Hollywood sources outside of Universal Pictures to increase public expectations for the film.
~~~~~
When I first arrived in Los Angeles, I was extremely busy, and many things had to be picked up and completed by Xu Fu.
At the same time, at the residence, being forced to fight with Miss Emma Frost, Xu Fu was also absent-minded.
Behind the busy work, he did not forget his sister, whom he had never met.
And when Xu Fu used the phone contact that his Mother Dana gave him to contact Caroline, she did not reply, the text messages were not returned, and the phone was not answered, as if the number was not in use.
The weekend after the negotiations, Kathleen Kennedy invited Xu Fu to a party, a typical Hollywood daily celebration. Kennedy invited Xu Fu to a party, a typical Hollywood daily celebration.
And the host of this festive party was Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein! One of Hollywood's top producers!
Harvey Weinstein's reputation in the World has passed, but there is also a lot of verbal criticism. The number of young girls and actresses he molested may be countless. (For 17 years, Hollywood has been bursting with all sorts of rampant stories; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter). His image has completely collapsed).
Weinstein's festive reception was naturally a good opportunity for Xu Fu to meet with Hollywood bigwigs, to get in touch with the upper echelons of society, and also to obtain some resources that would help promote the film.
Although he didn't like such occasions, he should show his face now~.
Kathleen Kennedy. Kennedy said the same thing to Xu Fu, hoping that he would bring a female companion with him. "You are the CEO of an emerging film company, a partner of Universal Pictures. Not just any female star."
I came to Los Angeles for the first time, where would I find a female companion?
...The day before dinner, at Xu Fu's apartment on Laurel Street.
Xu Fu sat on the sofa in the apartment room, rummaging through his laptop, pondering... .
He looked at Emma Frost, who was exercising on a yoga mat. Frost, wearing tight gray sportswear, raised her legs very high. She paid close attention to her figure, and kept exercising, even persuading Xu Fu to go to the gym with her and get a card.
Oh, Catherine forced herself to find a companion... Could only Emma Frost ask to find a temporary companion? Frost as a temporary companion?
"Emma, let me ask you something."
Xu Fu turned off the noisy TV and turned to look at the White Queen Emma.
"I've been waiting for you to ask me," Emma smiled, "Is there something you want me to do on 917?"
Emma stood up and looked at Xu Fu, "Harvey Weinstein's party is tomorrow. Weinstein's party is tomorrow, and you're still procrastinating?"
He looked at the White Queen in surprise, the expression on his face seemed to say, "How did you know?"
"The day before yesterday, you and Catherine. I was at the table next door when you and Kennedy were eating, but I was surprised you didn't notice me."
She looked at herself very bored
"Then take me to lunch tomorrow." He firmly suggested that Emma go with him.
Emma accepted Xu Fu's tone, said. "Then take me to lunch tomorrow..." She looked at Xu Fu with disgust, "It sounds like I owe you something."
"If You don't want to go, I can find someone else." Xu Fu knew that Emma had a lot of free time, and he knew from her tone just now that she must be very curious about how the party would go.
"I can go with you, but first you must go with me to pick out a beautiful dress."
"Okay, okay..." Xu Fu agreed, covering his forehead.
Picking out a dress would take at least the entire afternoon. Fortunately, Emma had already earned a lot of money from somewhere, so Xu Fu didn't have to worry about money when buying expensive clothes.
"Also, if you attend the party, there will be a lot of media reporters there. Aren't you afraid of being exposed? Emma. The Reform and Opening Up Association should be looking for you."
"They won't look for me, they don't need me anymore." Emma replied coldly, "And don't worry, I will change my appearance, they will never recognize me.".
Chapter 246 Adverse Situation
Space is like the night, an unknowable expanse of haze, except for the stars emanating from the years, like woven threads, all the silence and darkness of space is Eternity.
But now the silence of the outer Solar System has been broken.
A golden-red figure with a blazing light swept past the surrounding two space fighters, seamlessly activating the two armor runes on the armor, and two light Void bombs were hung on the two space fighters.
After the two Void bombs exploded, they tore open a large Space, and the Space tore apart the solid hull of the space fighter, exploding into two fireballs.
"Steve!"
A black Portal suddenly opened above his head, Steve, holding a golden shield, jumped out of the Portal, holding the shield in both hands, spewing out layers of Light Dou Qi, forming a huge shield, blocking the terrifying incoming firepower.
Tony could finally breathe a sigh of relief: he hovered behind Steve, a floating cannon popped out of his rear armor, dazzling Arcane runes lit up, and a series of Arcane missiles flew out like tracking missiles, tearing a large area in the middle of the enemy space fighter formation.
At the moment when the gap was torn open, Thor, who was squeezed together by a group of Space Fighters, finally jumped out of the encirclement, and the Mjolnir in his hand turned, causing a terrifying Space storm in Space.
The storm swept through the Void, and sharp spears of Flash fell, piercing a gap in the enemy formation.
"Embrace the darkness!"
With the chaos of the enemy's formation, Kaecilius was able to relax a little, spread his arms, and terrifying darkness filled his body like mist, almost covering the entire battlefield.
Blocking the enemy's sight, the actions of Seifer, Giselle, Heidi, and others were already prepared, and they began to explode one by one, clearing the entire battlefield.
But not long after the battlefield was cleared, another series of Space Fighters descended from the distant Space Carrier.
It cannot be killed or swept away.
Unless these dozen or so Space Carriers are smashed, even if everyone present is exhausted to death, the endless Space Fighters cannot be swept away.
"Joe, have you started on your side?"
After shooting down a few pursuing Space Fighters again, Tony called Xu Fu through the communication System.
"No, I suspect this is a trap, this Space Battleship gives me a very dangerous feeling...."
Xu Fu remained motionless, just flying around these dozen or so Space Battleships, like a ferocious Beast looking for the weak points of its prey.
"Man, now is not the time to hesitate, Kaecilius ｀!」"
Thor raised his Mjolnir in battle, gathered endless Flash, swept away the Space Fighters, and then shouted to Kaecilius not far away.
Kaecilius understood what Thor meant, and a Portal opened next to him, leading to the Space Battleship directly above him.
"Fk, danger!"
Seeing Thor's reckless behavior, Xu Fu's light wings spread out behind him, and he was about to accelerate to intercept Thor, but Xu Fu's Speed was not as convenient as a Portal.
Thor jumped down from the Portal, his red cloak flying high behind him, waving Mjolnir in both hands, dragging the terrifying Flash towards the thousands of feet of the Space Battleship.
Rumble!
The terrifying Flash even distorted Space, and Thor's thousand-meter-long spear was so long that Thor thought he could nail the third-stage Space God there.
But the most terrifying thing was that the thousand-meter Flash, when it fell dozens of meters above the Space Battleship, seemed to be swallowed up in a Void gap, without splashing a single splash.
Buzz!
A terrifying energy field erupted, and Thor was sucked into the Power of the terrifying energy field, sealing him in an open Space surrounded by more than a dozen Space Battleships.
"Kaecilius!"
The siblings, no, brothers, seeing Thor being pulled out and sealed, Loki sent out a terrifying ice spear, passing through several Space Fighters, and shouted to Kasi.
Sweat dripped from Kaecilius's forehead, and he said, "There is something strange about this field, I can't open the Space Portal!"
Space blockade!
For Xu Fu and others, She had not yet seen such advanced means in actual Space warfare.
But for the Kree Empire, this is a mature war strategy. If Space blockades are not used, the capital and important places of the Kree Empire would have been attacked and blown up many times.
Thor is sealed, held back, this time, even if he wants to leave, it will be difficult.
Xu Fu and the others, like others, could not leave Thor like this.
What is Hell!?
"Leave those Space Fighters on the periphery, and concentrate on sinking those ten Space Battleships first!"
"Mother's fucking joke, is there any other way besides this!"
