The Hollywood film and television company that Luo Tianming chose to cooperate with is Miramax.

The owner of this company was the later infamous Harvey Weinstein.

Although this guy is a complete villain, he has to admit that his ability is indeed very strong and can even control the Oscars.

Although Luo Tianming also dislikes such a bastard, Harvey cheated on European and American actors and manipulated Hollywood Oscars. What does it have to do with him?

Moreover, although Harvey is a villain, he has made great contributions to the development of Chinese films.

The works directed by Zhang Yimou, Wang Jiawei, Chen Kaige and others were only released in American theaters through him. Many domestic blockbusters also have their investments. Otherwise, with the current domestic environment, they would not be able to afford to invest in blockbusters at all.

It is precisely because Harvey has such a relationship with China that it is easy for Luo Tianming to contact him, and Jiang Ziqiang is very familiar with him.

Under the introduction of Jiang Ziqiang, Luo Tianming met Harvey Weinstein's office and met him.

Harvey was very enthusiastic, laughing and walked out from behind the desk, spreading his arms exaggeratedly and hugging Luo Tianming, saying, "Luo, I'm so happy to see you! I've seen your movie, wow, your kung fu is more powerful than Bruce? Lee!"

Of course, Luo Tianming would not be confused by his superficial skills. Although this guy seemed to see his relatives, he was actually sharpening his knife in his heart. Obviously, he was thinking about how to slaughter Luo Tianming hard.

Fortunately, Luo Tianming was no longer a migrant worker back then. He also hypocritically embraced Harvey intimately, looked at him with respect, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for taking the time to see me in your busy schedule. It's so honorable!"

Harvey was very comfortable being slapped by Luo Tianming's flattery, and his intimate expression became more sincere. He asked Luo Tianming and Jiang Ziqiang to sit down and asked the secretary to serve coffee.

As he entered the formal business negotiation stage, Harvey became much more serious and said, "After Jiang and I were on the phone, I specially found the script of "The Matrix" to read, which is indeed a good script.

However, there is a problem with this script, which is that it designs a new concept by itself. It is very difficult to explain this concept clearly and allow the audience to accept it without affecting the plot of the film.

But the Wachowski sisters insist on being directors themselves. They are all newbies. How can we ensure that they can shoot well? If they can’t shoot well, we will lose tens of millions of meters of gold."

Luo Tianming said: "Maybe Mr. Jiang didn't explain clearly to you that investment is not a problem. If you don't want to invest and Warner is unwilling to invest, then I will all be with you. You are responsible for the crew and distribution."

Harvey waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you didn't understand. I said, this is a good script. If you hand it over to the Wachowski sisters, it might ruin it, and we missed an opportunity to make money. Do you understand?"

Luo Tianming laughed and shook his head, and asked for a moment of silence, "So, do you expect that if this movie is well made, how much box office will it have?"

Harvey pondered: "It is estimated that the overseas box office is not easy to do, and the North American box office is at least 400 million."

Luo Tianming looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you serious?"

Harvey said: "Of course."

Luo Tianming shook his head and said, "Since you don't have the sincerity to cooperate, then forget it, goodbye."

As he said that, he got up and was about to leave.

Harvey hurriedly said, "Wait! The global box office is 400 million, is that OK?"

Luo Tianming sat down again and said, "This is still the same, and North America has 400 million yuan. Who are you scaring? Last year's box office champion "Independence Day", North America has only 300 million yuan and 800 million yuan in the world. It is a rare achievement in history. You actually told me 400 million yuan?"

Harvey was very thick-skinned. He laughed and changed the topic: "Luo, ask me how much the box office is expected, what does it mean?"

Luo Tianming said: "I mean, we will calculate the box office of 400 million, less than 400 million, and I will make up for you; if more than 400 million, everyone will share the accounts according to the contract."

Harvey was surprised and asked, "Are you serious?"

Luo Tianming just asked this, but he didn't expect it was Harvey's turn now.

Luo Tianming's answer was the same as Harvey, and he said: "Of course!"

Jiang Ziqiang, who had not spoken next to him, secretly poked Luo Tianming and signaled him not to speak too much.

But Luo Tianming didn't care and gave him a look of relief.

Harvey saw Jiang Ziqiang's small moves and immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "Luo, I want to write the conditions you mentioned in the contract."

Luo Tianming shrugged, still the two words: "Of course."

Harvey said again: "Since you are so confident in the Wachowski sisters, I agree to let them be the director and can help you convince Warner. However, we have to talk about the box office share."

Jiang Ziqiang next to him sighed, this is what he was afraid of.

Luo Tianming promised a box office of 400 million yuan, with more refunds and less compensation, which is equivalent to giving Harvey and Warner a guarantee, a guarantee that only profits and no losses.

Since they only make money but not lose money, they naturally have to occupy as much share as possible so that they can make more money.

Luo Tianming didn't care and said, "How to divide the money? Let Manager Jiang talk to you. I only have one requirement. I want to play the role of Neo!"

Anyway, he can guarantee money, so Harvey certainly doesn't care about a character, so he nodded immediately and said, "No problem!"

Next, there was a negotiation between Jiang Ziqiang, Harvey and Warner. Luo Tianming entrusted the matter to Jiang Ziqiang and prepared for the shooting himself.

Jiang Ziqiang complained secretly, Luo Tianming didn't care about interests, he cared about them.

Harvey's Miramax Company and Warner occupy too much of the share, so Jiang Ziqiang's share is less. How can he not complain?

Of course, Luo Tianming would not ignore Jiang Ziqiang's interests. After seeing his uneasiness, he gave him a reassurance and handed over the mainland distribution rights of "The Matrix" to him.

With Luo Tianming's promise, Jiang Ziqiang cheered up, cheered up, and began to fight with Harvey and others.

They talked about theirs, and the script had to be changed before filming started.

The protagonist has been replaced by a yellow man, and some things must be changed.

Actually, it’s okay to change it. The original Neo has a face-patterned face from beginning to end. He doesn’t know what his personality is. It seems that he has always been following the crowd. He will listen to whatever Morpheus says.

Also, Luo Tianming's yellow-sex face would be a waste not to change the settings.

So Neo went from a simple programmer to a combination of kung fu masters and programmers.

Neo just relied on computer indoctrination and suddenly became a master of kung fu. It was a bit nonsense. Neo knew how to be kung fu, which was more reasonable.
