Chapter 8
"What, I get 5% of the box office share? Martin was shocked,"Aunt Nancy, are you kidding me?" Is this the kind of treatment a newcomer can get? Nancy was amused by Martin's appearance. After laughing for a while, she said:
"Thanks to your dad's investment and your Aunt Nancy's eloquence"
"Of course, Mr. Eisner is also very optimistic about you."
"However, this condition is just a special case. If you want to enter this industry, you must understand that you are just a newcomer in the film industry. Don't be too ambitious."
"I understand. Martin nodded, and then couldn't help but ask,"Are you sure it's a box office share and not a profit share?""
In Hollywood, there is a big difference between profit sharing and box office sharing. There are too many tricks in profit sharing."Harry Potter" can make you lose money. Can you believe it?!
Box office sharing is relatively small. Be safer
"Don't worry, I'm here. Your dad is not one of those outside investors who doesn't know anything. He invested in"Jurassic Park""
"I can rest assured that."
Martin smiled happily, and he calculated it silently in his mind.
《The box office of"Made in Heaven" in the original timeline was US$92 million (with an investment of 15 million).
If he paid 5%, he could get 4.6 million US dollars, which was a lot of money in the 1990s.
Moreover, he believes that the box office of"A Match Made in Heaven" starring him will be higher. This is the confidence coming from the succubus.
…………
Time quietly comes to November
《"Kung Fu Panda" is released.
Random House is not in a hurry to throw out Martin's identity. They are planning to do a joint marketing with Disney. The movie will be released in the summer season in July next year, and large-scale marketing will start in June next year.
At the wrong time, both companies will simultaneously hype up Martin's identity as a"genius boy"!
………… in school.
Lindsay Lohan and Mark Zuckerberg were saying goodbye to Martin, who was about to join the group for filming. John, the tall and powerful school bully, stood behind Martin with a serious face, like a bodyguard.
Lindsay Lohan:"Martin, I really envy you. You are going to be a movie star. I want to make movies too."
Mark Zuckerberg:"Martin, you are really going to make movies. That's great. My good friend is going to become a star. By the way, give me an autograph first."
Lindsay Lohan:"And me, and me."
The two of them took out a brand new book from their schoolbags at the same time."kungfu Panda".
John glanced at the three people who were interacting and thought disdainfully:"Huh, how childish, three little brats."
Then he secretly rejoiced:"Martin is leaving, won't I be the boss again?"
"John, John, what are you thinking?"
"Ah, oh, there!"
John was excited and quickly stood up straight with his chest raised and his head raised. He had already formed a conditioned reflex.
"John, do you know that you are not allowed to bully your classmates while I am away?"
"Well, I don’t bully my classmates"
"If someone bullies your classmates, you have to stand up and stop them"
"Well, block"
"You have to remember that you are not the kind of villain who bullies the weak, but you want to be a hero"
"Well, hero."
I don't know why, but as soon as he heard what Martin said and looked into his blue eyes, John couldn't help but feel a will to obey deep in his heart. The little thought he had just now disappeared long ago.
Martin looked at Looking at the unusually obedient John, he nodded with satisfaction.
For a succubus, it is really easy to"persuade" a person.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, Investment Office.
Grant and Nancy, brother and sister, stand and sit together
"Nancy, when will the filming start? I wish you could shoot faster, I don't want Martin to miss too much school."Grant asked as he stood there, shaking the red wine glass in his hand.
"I will hire a tutor for him on the set so that his homework will not be delayed too much. Grant, to be honest, I really didn't think you would agree to let Martin act in the most chaotic Vanity Fair in the world? Grant put down his wine glass with a smile and said to Nancy:"Martin's character is very similar to yours. At first, your father was extremely opposed to your entering this circle, but you still stubbornly rushed in?" Haha, think about how angry Dad was at the beginning. What did he say?"
"We are a financial family’"Grant and Nancy shouted in unison, and then laughed together
"If I hadn't put in good words for you these past few years, you two, father and daughter, might still be fighting in a cold war!"
"Humph, who cares? That old man is too rigid."
Nancy curled her lips. She still gets angry when she thinks of the old man's rude, unreasonable and arbitrary behavior!
Grant shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:"So I don't want to be a rigid and rude father. Martin likes to be a star, so let him try it out. And since he is a boy, he is always safer than a girl."
"There are many people in this circle who are both male and female."Nancy reminded
"Humph, with me supporting him behind his back, I don't believe that any blind person would dare to provoke him."
As the head of investment banking at JPMorgan Chase Bank, Grant's connections are very terrifying. He controls the wallets of countless wealthy people.
"Okay, okay, Martin is not only your son, but also my nephew. I will take good care of him and won't let those bad people get close to him."
"Okay, Nancy, I'll leave Martin to you. Now let’s talk about investing, how much do you need?"
"At least 7.5 million. I estimate the budget of this movie to be about 15 million. Disney is only willing to invest half of it, and the distribution of the film must be left to them."
"These greedy hyenas!"
"Hey, Grant, you promised, you won't go back on it, right?"Nancy raised her eyebrows and assumed a stance of arguing with others.
"Of course not. For the sake of my dear sister and my dear son, it’s only 7.5 million, and I can afford it myself. Grant spread his hands and said,"Nancy, keep an eye on this money for me. Although it's not much, I don't like to be cheated." I don't want to be the butt of one of those stupid people who throw money into Hollywood.’"
"Don't worry, I'm a producer and I'll take good care of the money."
"By the way, Random House only gave us eight months, which means the film must be released in the summer of next year, otherwise they will act on their own, and time is tight. When can Martin join the cast?"
"Have all the preliminary preparations been done?"
"certainly!"
"Tomorrow, Martin has gone to school today to ask for leave. He wants to say goodbye to his friends."
"Great, just tomorrow."
