As the two are already living together, Janet knows all about the release of Lola Run. So, the next day, the woman almost without obstacles to take over everything in the past.
Simon wanted to accompany her for a few days, but he was refused.
Janet's reason is also very strong, Simon around, she is easy to soft hearted, can not play out their own strength.
Simon didn't know how Janet worked afterwards. But on the following Thursday afternoon, after finishing the first formal contact on the issue of follow-up issuance rights, Mike medova called in a hurry and even accused Janet of being too ignorant with some grievances in his tone. He hoped Simon would continue to come forward in person and not let a woman fool around.
Despite some doubts, Simon would not rashly listen to the one-sided words of Mike medova.
However, after work that day, before Simon could ask Jennie about the negotiation in the morning, the woman had already brought back another contract: Mattel bought out the rights to issue dolls for a series of roles in "Lola Run" for $2.3 million.
Even if the box office is booming, the peripheral copyright of "Lola Run" is certainly far from being compared with super IP like "Star Wars".
Moreover, as a toy company mainly producing Barbie dolls, Mattel's favorite role image is definitely Lola, and mani and other characters will not be welcomed by consumers. As a result, Janet sold a single Rola doll for $2.3 million, far beyond Simon's expectation.
According to some information in the industry, Simon's previous highest expectation for the business was only about $1.5 million.
In this case, Simon naturally will no longer doubt Janet's ability, very relieved to leave everything to her.
In addition, Simon then adjusted his two companies appropriately.
After a left-handed operation, the box office share, sales revenue and surrounding revenue related to "Lola Run" will all be transferred from Denise pictures to westero.
This kind of divestiture is to adapt to Amy's contract. Both parties have reached an agreement before signing the contract. Amy's 5% share of the company's net profit does not include the relevant income of "Lola Run".
Then, in order to avoid the financial entanglement with Janet, Simon drew up a formal supplementary contract in the name of westero: as the investor with 61.5% of the shares, Janet's share of income from "Lola Run" only needs to be settled before December 31 this year.
This supplementary contract means that before the settlement, westero is free to reinvest the fund, and the extra profit generated does not need to be shared with Janet.
Simon also plans to operate stock index futures in the name of Westeros in the second half of the year, and even make more subsequent investment actions.
After these two aspects are solved, the potential interest disputes hidden in Simon's side are straightened out completely.
Deep down, Simon is still a moving person who lacks security after all.
If he doesn't deal with all this, he even worries that he will encounter a situation described by the hero in when Harry meets Sally: two people don't love each other one day, and then argue hysterically about who should have an 8-dollar dinner plate and waste $1000 in phone bills.
Janet clearly saw this in Simon's character, so she took the trouble to write out IOU after IOU for him to press his fingerprints. Women know that they do, Simon will not resist, but will feel very relaxed.
While Simon adjusted his two companies, many other things began to move forward more efficiently and quickly because Janet shared the distribution work of "Lola Run".
Mattel is very eager to launch the Rolla doll as soon as possible, which is also easy to understand.
As a result, within three days after signing the contract, the other party will transfer US $2.3 million into the account of Westeros. Simon then injected $1 million into Denise pictures in the name of a loan. Amy Pascal finally stopped paying for assistants, and the company began to recruit more people.
With the money, Amy soon talked about the script of when Harry meets Sally. The final price is $150000, not cheap, but definitely not expensive for Simon.
However, in order to win the script, danielis pictures also promised Nora Efron that the company would start the project within a year, and the production budget would not be less than $10 million.
In case of breach of contract, the script copyright will automatically return to the other party.
As for vulgar fiction, Simon produced his first draft in the following week because he no longer had to pay attention to the release of Lola Run.
Even though Orion pictures was not optimistic about the project, Jonathan Friedman helped Simon negotiate a contract equivalent to "death is coming.".
It's also a minimum of $20 million.
At the box office of more than $20 million, Simon received 10% of the North American box office share and 5% of the North American video sales share.Although there are too many accidents in the box office success of "Lola Run", it is almost certain that Simon will be the top box office winner in North America this year. Therefore, Simon's salary as a first-line director is more than enough.
Orion signed Simon's next film contract with a base salary of $500000, but since it didn't finalize the sharing terms at the beginning, it can only give a sharing agreement equivalent to Simon's value at this time.
Of course, there is also a very obvious difference between this contract and "death is coming". Simon's share of video sales is limited to North America. Because Orion doesn't have the global distribution capabilities that Fox does.
In addition, Orion also requires the project budget to be controlled within $8 million.
If the budget exceeds 1 million US dollars, Simon will get 1% and 0.5% less share in two aspects respectively, and the calculation mode of rounding up will be adopted directly. However, Orion also promises to provide certain sharing terms for big stars who are willing to take part in the show at their own expense.
Finally, "death is coming", the project is the most smooth.
It was Wes Craven, who helped new line film make "ghost Street" a few years ago, and his personal style was also very suitable for "death is coming".
Moreover, Wes Craven is also a customer of wma. Despite the success of ghost street, the girl next door directed by Wes Craven for Warner last year was lukewarm and the box office just reached the cost line.
Simon and Wes Craven had a meal together with the introduction of their agents. After a detailed talk about the whole project, the matter was settled.
Speaking of course, Simon clearly remembers that Wes Craven was also the famous director of the scream Series in the 1990s.
Simon didn't come up with scream right away for the same reason that he chose vulgar novel as his second film. Projects with higher box office potential should naturally be left to themselves as much as possible.
But in recent years, with the lack of funds and channels, Simon can only cooperate with other film companies for the time being, and the big profits will surely go to these companies.
Janet's side, finalized the first peripheral sell out contract, the woman then successively negotiated the original sound records, video games and other peripheral products license of "Lola Run", once again brought more than $8 million to westero company.
On April 6, Orion finally made a compromise to buy the North American video and TV distribution rights of "Lola Run" for $35 million. On April 9, Warner Bros. bought the overseas copyright of the film for the same $35 million.
Although it will take one month for these two buyout payments to arrive, the total revenue of $70 million is $10 million higher than Simon's original expectation.
In addition to the $20 million that Wells Fargo has put into Simon's personal account, and the $30 million box office share expected when the North American theater of "Lola Run" goes down a few months later, Simon can raise more than $120 million for stock index freight in October, even excluding some necessary expenses.
Simon and Janet division of labor busy this period of time, the 59th Academy Awards ceremony also ended smoothly.
Orion film's "platoon in the field" won the best picture, best director and other awards without any doubt, and the box office of this film just broke through the $100 million mark in the near future.
Meanwhile, after the box office of $23.36 million in the sixth week and seven days, in the seventh week and the eighth week, "Lola Run" received $21.22 million and $16.34 million respectively. As of April 9, the North American box office of "Lola Run" has reached 146.79 million US dollars.
Although the weekly decline began to expand, but the total box office of "Lola Run" exceeded 200 million, almost no suspense. What everyone is curious about is just how far the cumulative box office of the film can reach.
And so on until April 10.
In the first week of the Easter season, Simon's second film, the butterfly effect, was officially released.
Although the previous internal auditions of film critics have been poor, but considering the popularity of "Lola Run", fox still arranged 1263 opening screens for "Butterfly Effect".
As a relatively popular schedule, "Butterfly Effect" naturally can not be exclusive.
At the same time, back to the future starring Michael Fox's "the road to development", a comedy produced by universal pictures, has 1336 screens, and the production cost is as high as 12 million US dollars, which is slightly better than the butterfly effect in all aspects.
