Victor couldn't help but wonder, this decision was really weird!

In today's Hollywood's view, "Titanic" is a big pit, and it's even more money-losing than "Future Water World".

In terms of theaters, if it weren't for the fact that they were the top six Hollywood players, they wouldn't be willing to give so much screening.

In fact, as investors and producers of the film, 20th Century Fox and Paramount themselves are not optimistic about the prospects of the Big Ship.

If you are willing to take it off, but the price is too high, no one is willing to be a buyer.

In fact, as early as early August, Paramount made a rumor that it was willing to sell its investment share in the big ship. Time Warner is the only film company interested in taking over. Paramount and 20th Century Fox jointly offered $550 million to sell the Titanic as a whole.

This price code directly scared away Time Warner's representative.

Warner representatives were shocked and said, "Are you crazy? Treat us Warner as a sucker! Not to mention $550 million, even $200 million, we don't want it. Whoever wants it wants it!"

The test piece will end!

Except for the theater party that signed the release agreement, the rest of the film critics and invited guests basically left.

Well, Zucker and Victor stayed.

"Victor, what are you doing when you stand?"

"Man, don't look at me with an idiot, okay?"

"I'm not kidding. I really think the big ship has a big problem, believe me!"

"How much did you say? This is not a problem, you know, I made a lot of money in the forex market a while ago. Well, go and talk to Paramount to 20th Century Fox."

"You talk about me? Of course I'll go and talk to director Cameron."

Zucker immediately urged Victor.

After all, it is "Titanic" with a global box office of more than 1.8 billion US dollars! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can get involved, you will definitely make a big profit.

.........

A conference room at 20th Century Fox.

"What?!"

A Paramount executive looked at Victor with incredible eyes: "You said Wald Pictures are willing to jointly release Titanic with us?"

An executive at 20th Century Fox also frowned: "Victor, are you sure you're not kidding?"

For a moment, the executives of both sides present looked at Victor in confusion.

Victor affirmed: "Yes, that's what I mean. We at Wald Pictures can even spend money to buy some of your investment share."

As soon as the words came, everyone present suddenly showed a happy expression. Of course, they were all old foxes, and this expression almost flashed away.

Are they willing to sell their investment share?

certainly!

If you don’t sell it now, are you still waiting to smash it in your hands?!

"Victor, I need to report this question to the top, you need to wait." An executive said in a deep voice.

"I see."

Victor responded and was sent politely from the conference room by everyone.

.........

That afternoon.

Almost shortly after Zucker and Victor left, the head of the Titanic project team reported Victor's transaction application to the top leaders of 20th Century Fox and Paramount to make a decision.

After all, this involves tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions.

20th Century Fox Films.

CEO Bill McNick, CEO Tom Rossman, COO Jack, production department head Ganopoulos, production manager and producer Grant Hill.

The five people gathered together to discuss what Victor said.

"Everyone, let's give me some advice." CEO Bill McNick broke the silence first.

Chief Operating Officer Jack said: "I think it's acceptable. After all, the estimate of the big ship is indeed not very good. If you can stop the loss in time, it's not a good idea."

Ganopoulos, director of the production department, echoed: "I agree. The big ship project has been dragged for 4 years and cannot continue like this. Otherwise, what are our faces? How can we explain to the board of directors and how can we explain to Chairman Murdoch?"

The two of them are in the same group as CEO Tom Rossman, and are very inconsistent with CEO Bill McNick.

President Tom Rossman was very dissatisfied with CEO Bill, and he dreamed of killing him and then taking the lead.

The "Titanic" project was the result of CEO Bill's leadership, and Tom was extremely beloved.

CEO Bill, he is very unwilling to accept this moment!

He didn't want to sell the project he had just like this.

Because, once he makes such a decision, no matter what the final result of the movie is released, he will be impeached by the board of directors and may be removed from office.

However, now, Tom and others are forcing him to make a decision!

He surrendered!

"Okay, I agree to sell our investment share, but I absolutely do not agree to sell all of it, and only sell a part of it. Otherwise, our efforts over the past few years will be in vain?"

CEO Bill almost yelled at this sentence.

Upon hearing this, President Tom was amused: "It's good that you agree. No matter what our relationship is, we are consistent in protecting the interests of the company."

"My opinion is very clear. I also think that only a part of the investment share will be sold. Otherwise, once the movie becomes popular, of course, this kind of thing is extremely small, but we cannot ignore it."

"Stop loss does not mean we give up completely!"

After the words came to an end, everyone present nodded in agreement.

......

Paramount Pictures.

"Sell? Why not sell!"

Paramount Pictures President Shirley Lansing said to everyone: "Sir, remember one thing. We have been delaying this project for several years, and it is a total of $75 million. Do we have to spend tens of millions of dollars on publicity expenses?"

“So, I think it can be sold!”

"Of course, Juke Wald is not a fool. Judging from his past experience, it is not denied that he has always been lucky, but he is also a very cunning person. Since he dares to bet heavily, he may have a big box office hit."

"So, even if we sell our investment share, we cannot sell it all, we must keep some in hand."

Shirley Lansing said in a deep voice: "And since he wants to buy it, he must pay a high price! Our Paramount's cheapness is not that easy to take advantage!"

After the words came, a group of Paramount executives nodded.

In fact, most of them agree with this statement.

As for the joint release mentioned by Victor, they all bypassed them intentionally or unintentionally.

Want a joint release?

dream!

You know, compared to the cost of investing in production costs with real money, the issuance matters are very heavy.

It is said that the cost of promotion and distribution is 20 million, but it is actually the media of internal subsidiaries to operate and digest.

Well, the left hand is turned to the right hand;

In fact, the real cost to the outside world may be only $5 million

Therefore, neither Paramount nor Fox could agree to Wald Pictures for joint release.

As for Zhuke in their impression, he has become synonymous with stupid people and a lot of money.

The second update of "" is given.
