Conditionsssss

    In a coffee shop in North Hollywood, Eric and Michael are negotiating details of the collaboration on Jurassic Park.

    Eric didn't entangle the royalty, and took a new 7% of the royalties. It was only in the novel's film and television copyright that the two people negotiated a confrontation.

    With Michael's more than ten years of old-fashioned vision, he can of course see the great potential of this novel in film adaptation. In addition, Eric did not raise any objection to the royalty, which made Michael feel that Eric was very young and flickering, so he proposed that Night Elf and Eric share the film copyright, and the film copyright is fully authorized by Night Elf Publishing House.

    After patiently listening to Michael's proposal, Eric categorically refused: "This is impossible, Mr. Claus."

    Michael Claus, a glimpse, seems to have reacted to Eric's decisive rejection, adjusting his mood, and Michael Claus followed: "Eric, listen to me, you know, I just put a novel from our Publishing House. Sold to 20th century Fox, that is the cost of millions of adaptations. And if the author talks about it himself, maybe even 500,000 USD can't get it. This is the advantage of the Publishing House agent…"

    The next two people talked for more than ten minutes, and Michael Claus wanted to flick Eric to accept his own conditions and actively reduced the division of Publishing House on the film copyright.

    In the end, Michael Claus was disappointed to find out that this little guy is a fledgling girl. It is just like him. He has been into the society for more than ten years, although it's not too much about the various bends in the publishing world. Familiar, but can be keenly aware of hidden mysteries in some seemingly superior conditions.

    What surprised Michael even more was that this young man was not as impulsive as the young people of this age. Even if he found the trap, he did not directly point it out, or simply sneaked on it, but hinted that he understood. The trap is included.

    In the end, Michael smiled and gave up the plan to intervene in the film "Jurassic Park".

    The next negotiations were naturally unimpeded, and the two quickly signed a cooperation agreement.

    "Happy cooperation, Eric, I believe you will not regret giving me the "Jurassic Park" to operate."After signing the contract, Michael became the uncle who took the book temperament and made people feel like a spring breeze. It seems that the sagacity and embarrassment of the face just after negotiation are all illusions.

    "Happy cooperation, Michael, I hope so."

    The two shook hands and sat down and talked a few more words. Eric seemed to be careless: "Michael, are you in the Mill Studio?"

    Michael Claus raised the eyebrow: "Of course, how else would I recommend my publishing house to the 20th century Fox? In fact, I also know people in other Film Studios. You know, when I was at the Publishing House in Simon Schuster, I was responsible for a period of cooperation with Film Studio in book copyright. So, Eric, hand over the film of "Jurassic Park" to Night Elf, I can recommend the novel directly to the producer of Six Great Film Studios. "

    Eric shook his head and said: "We still don't want to talk about this issue. Michael, "The film of "Jurassic Park" copyright I will not give up a point. However, I am currently completing a script, and if I can, I hope you can recommend it for me. "

    Michael Claus's hope that just ignited was extinguished again. Hearing Eric's script was not too interesting, but politely and patiently said: "Can you tell the general plot of script?"

    "It's like this," Eric said. "Eighteen years ago, the 17-year-old Mike O'Donnell was about to participate in a basketball game that was important to his life, because as long as he performed well, he would Acquired admission to the Ivy League school with a generous scholarship. However, before the game, his girlfriend suddenly told him that he was pregnant, so on the way, Mike resolutely threw away his basketball and turned away from the arena, and chose to take responsibility for himself. Eighteen years later, the past glory and scenery went with the wind. Mike became a middle-aged man with a failed career, and his marriage with his wife, Scarlett, is about to come to an end…"

    Eric didn't talk too much about the details. He just narrated the story. After he heard the arguments of the Langkel couple, he quickly thought of "17 again." To realize his plan, the film would be perfect. . A seventeen-year-old man hides the soul of a middle-aged uncle, which is tailor-made for Eric.

    Micheal Klaus's eyes were getting brighter. He was very optimistic about Eric, but he didn't expect to get the novel "Jurassic Park". Eric immediately gave him another surprise.

    Crossing the past and returning to the future or turning into such movies, these years have just emerged, not as rampant as later generations, so as long as the film quality is good, you can usually get a good Box Office.

    Not to mention the 1985 annual box Office title "Back to the future", just this year, there are two such films have made good box office, a April "return to 18 years old", the other is only two weeks after the release of the cost, the final box Office may be billions of Big ", this movie also makes Penny Marshall became the first in the history of the North America box Office over billion female director.

    "This is a good script, Eric. But don't you think that there have been too many movies of this type of time and space in these years? What's more, you are just a newcomer with no name. "In order to get the initiative in the negotiations, Michael certainly has to take a little bit of it. The negotiations on the "Jurassic Park" film and television copyright have made him feel frustrated.

    Eric smiled a little, and of course he saw Michael's pretending gesture, directly extending five fingers: "50% commission!"

    "what?"Michael is a little unbelievable. How can this guy be so generous and suddenly not mistaken?

    Eric repeated: "Michael, you didn't get it wrong. If the script sells successfully, I can give you 50% of the script's remuneration as a commission! However, I have a condition? "

    Sure enough, there was no white lunch in the world. Michael heard Eric's last words, and he sighed with relief. Things seemed to be back on track. The opposite was still the shrewd little guy.

    "Tell me?"

    "I want to be the hero of this movie, that is, the young Mike O'Donnell."

    "This is impossible."Michael subconsciously said: "Even Director does not necessarily have the power to determine the role of a movie, let alone a new screenwriter."

    "In the far east, there is an idiom called "making things in people, and doing things in the sky."Eric said: "If you don't try it, how to know it is impossible, let alone, with the release of "Leap the Future," this possibility will become even bigger."

    Michael Claus can't turn around: "What does this have to do with Big?"

    Eric carelessly stirs the hot coffee in front of him with a spoon: "I think this movie is likely to have a box office of over 100 million. If this is the case, for a script of the same type and script is good enough, maybe someone will consider it. My conditions are not necessarily the same."

    Michael Claus didn't watch the movie "Big", but still believes in Eric's words and said, "Okay, Eric, I can try, but the commission…"

    "Michael, you are too greedy, don't you want to get more than my original author!"

    Michael didn't touch his nose with his index finger. He was a little embarrassed: "It's not as serious as you said, and if you are a actor, even if you are a newcomer, the pay is about 500,000, and the script I think It's not bad to get 200,000."

    Even so, Michael Claus did not mention the commission. When he said goodbye outside the coffee shop, Michael Claus suddenly said: "In fact, Eric, I have an illusion that you really fit the role of your script hero. . Because, when I first talked about the contract, I felt that I was negotiating with my peers, not an 18-year-old high school student. "

    Eric smiled: "Don't care about these details, Michael, I will hand you the script in two days, I hope you can bring me good news."
