"Mr. Ye, is there really no room for negotiation?" Sean Goodman asked again.

"Well..." Ye Jin pretended to be embarrassed, pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's do this, if you really want my script, then please pay two million US dollars in a movie, plus ten percent of the derivatives income."

"Mr. Ye, please be serious and show your sincere cooperation." Sean immediately said furiously.

How could he agree to this price unless he had a short circuit in his head for two million dollars?

You know, the most expensive script in Hollywood so far is "Cleopatra" for sixty-five years. The total investment of that movie is 44 million US dollars, and the cost of a single script costs 600,000 US dollars.

After it, the Hollywood film market was hit hard by the TV industry, which led to a severe shrinkage of the market, which caused the cost of films to drop sharply. Investments of tens of millions of dollars can be considered blockbusters.

Due to the decline in the cost of film production, it is difficult for the script price to be as glorious as it was back then.

The $200,000 paid by Sean Goodman before is considered quite generous. The price of most scripts is less than $50,000.

"Okay, $500,000 in film pay, plus 10% box office dividend, and 25% derivative income." Ye Jin thought for a while, then said.

"Mr. Ye, you are so greedy." Sean Goodman said angrily.

The script cost of $500,000 is already ridiculously high, not to mention that Ye Jin still needs 10% box office revenue, which is even more greedy than a robber.

"That's my condition." Ye Jin nodded with a smile, "Don't rush to condemn me first, go back and think about it first."

Once the filming of a project as good as "Star Wars", once it is completed, it will be a money-making weapon. Ye Jin believes that 20th Century Fox Films must have noticed this. Since that is the case, he will of course take the opportunity to make more requests.

Ten percent of box office revenue and one-quarter of derivative revenue do seem to be quite a lot. But compared to the fact that Twentieth Century Fox earns more.

Therefore, Ye Jin believes that he will definitely consider it seriously.

"Hmph!" Sean Goodman stood up and left angrily when he heard Ye Jin say this.

David Carson of Lucasfilm, looked at Ye Jin with deep meaning, and then left with Sean Goodman.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, and Cai Yongchang quickly stood up to see him off.

...

A moment later, the three of them came back and looked at Ye Jin with a look of surprise.

"A Jin, why do you have to speak loudly? It is definitely a good thing for you to cooperate with 20th Century Fox. If you raise the price like this and drive everyone away, wouldn't the cooperation be ruined?" Zou Wenhuai said regretfully.

"Mr. Zou, there is nothing to regret. I have confidence in my script." Ye Jin smiled.

"Star Wars" is Hollywood's hottest IP, and has even become a part of American culture. Ye Jin has watched the American drama "The Big Bang Them" before, and several nerds in it are particularly fascinated by it.

They play "Star Wars" toys: laser swords, voice-changing helmets, video games, etc.; they treat the theme song of "Star Wars" as their own appearance; they sleep on the bed sheets with the portrait of the Black Knight Darth Vader, and even the toaster bakes the Black Knight avatar...

He believed that since 20th Century Fox wanted to vote for this script, he should realize its commercial potential. Since that is the case, although they were angry now, Ye Jin believed that they would come back.

"A Jin, I know your script is well written. But no matter how good the script is, it has its price limit. 500,000 US dollars, 10% box office, not to mention 25% derivative returns... Such a price is too outrageous. What if people really don't want it?" Zou Wenhuai persuaded.

"If it doesn't want it, then it doesn't want to shoot this movie." Ye Jin smiled, "I invested myself and earned more."

In addition to the proper nouns, his storyline is basically the same as Star Wars.

Therefore, even if Fox bought George Lucas's "Star Wars" script, it could not invest in the film at all. As long as it dared to shoot, Ye Jin would dare to sue it for infringement and compensate for the losses.

At that time, the price it will have to pay much more than it is now. After all, Hollywood punishes plagiarism very strictly. Once it is violated, not only will it compensate Ye Jin for economic losses, but even investors, crew members, etc. will be affected.

Therefore, if 20th Century Fox wants to film "Star Wars", he must obtain the copyright of "Starcraft", otherwise he will never want to film this movie.

This is the same as the [patent hooligan] in my previous life. As long as you dare to use my patent, I can extort a lot of money.

If the 20th Century Fox was really strong and would rather give up such a big profit than agree to Ye Jin's blackmail, then Ye Jin would consider investing in the filming himself.

Anyway, he already has two successful movies, "Dragon Hard Boy" and "Ghost Street". Although the publisher, Warner Pictures, has not distributed the box office dividends to him, Ye Jin can still use the dividend contracts for these two movies to make mortgage loans to the bank.

In this way, you can lend $20 to 30 million and invest in the production of "Star Wars", which should be enough.

At that time, I will ask Steven Spielberg to direct. He is so good at directing commercial films, and he also made science fiction films like "The Third Category of Contact", "et", "Artificial Intelligence" and "The Number One Player". I believe it is OK to make "Star Wars".

"A Jin, you are too stubborn." After hearing what he said, Zou Wenhuai shook his head, "If you invest yourself, you will take a lot of risks. Do you know that you must win firmly? What if you lose?"

"Mr. Ye, I want to hear it. What kind of story do you have written?" He Guanchang asked curiously.

He was curious in his heart what excellent script was that could actually make Twentieth Century Fox visit in person. You know, these Hollywood giants are quite arrogant.

Before, don’t say that you came to Xiangjiang to negotiate cooperation, even if you fly to America to find them to cooperate, they will be picky.

Ye Jin smiled and then told the general plot of "Starcraft".
