v2 Chapter 895： Money and role trading

In February, Burbank could hardly feel the cold. The warm sun shone from the sky, with the warmth that is unique to California. The weather here is the opposite of New York. Nelson Peltz, who just got off the plane, felt a little uncomfortable. When I walked into the appointment club, it was like people on the east coast always look at the west coast with a colored eye, frowning slightly. ＋◆,

Fly from New York to Los Angeles, and also booked a coffee shop in a luxurious clubhouse. Of course, Nelson Peltz came to meet important people, a richer wealthy super rich and a more famous super director.

Through the Lauder family's relationship, he finally made an appointment with Duke Rosenberg, who naturally paid special attention to it, and arrived ten minutes early.

Sitting in the open-air cafe, enjoying the beautiful view of the clubhouse garden, Nelson Peltz considered his remarks at the end. He knew that the person who matched him was only the cousin of Irene Lauder, who was not Irene after all? Lauder himself, taking Duke Rosenberg as a person, I am afraid that he would not buy his own account too much.

Nelson Peltz had studied Duke and knew that to impress him, he had to offer tangible benefits.

After taking a sip of coffee, Nelson Peltz couldn't help sighing. If it wasn't for the woman he loved most, he wouldn't make a special trip.

But since the daughter chose the Hollywood road, Duke Rosenberg's film is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Although a businessman and capitalist, Nelson Peltz is also a good father.

Less than a minute before the appointment time, Duke appeared in the open-air cafe on time. He glanced at the old man who was standing up to meet him, showing a polite smile, and steadily walked over.

"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

Meet Duke. Nelson Peltz took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "I am very happy to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Peltz." Duke reached out and shook Nelson Peltz's hand. "I am also very happy to meet you."

The two made a few polite words, and then under the guidance of Nelson Peltz, they sat at the same coffee table. After the waiter delivered the coffee and left, the courtesy between each other disappeared instantly, and the words gradually turned to the subject.

"Mr. Peltz..." Duke asked with some confusion, "I don't know if you asked me out..."

Nelson Peltz smiled and said, "Call me Neil."

Duke nodded, "You can call me Duke."

He still looked at Nelson Peltz with doubts, as if he really didn't know what his intention was.

"I heard that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is working with multiple brands," Nelson Peltz asked with a slight smile, "all-round promotion?"

This is no secret. Duke nodded directly, "Yes, every Hollywood commercial will do this."

Nelson Peltz said sincerely, "My Snape Beverage also wants to join the ranks."

This is the "Star Wars" series. If you want to cooperate with such a project, you will not only have to spend real money, but also a huge amount of money.

There is no free lunch in this world, and Duke knows this very well. He asked bluntly, "Neil. What about your request?"

"I heard that the heroine of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has not been determined yet?" Nelson Peltz said as tactfully as possible, "Duke, can you carefully consider the candidate for the heroine."

At this point, Nelson Peltz's intentions have been fully revealed.

"Sorry, Neil." Duke shook his head slightly, "Your news is a bit behind. In fact, I have already identified the heroine."

This is not a refusal. After the third heroine audition was held a few days ago, Duke has confirmed that British actor Daisy Ridley will play the heroine of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Nelson Peltz frowned. "Do you know who the final candidate is?"

The news will be officially announced soon to coincide with the promotional plans of Lucasfilm and Warner Bros. Duke also had no need to hide, saying, "An actress from England."

Although knowing that his daughter had little hope of winning, the previous Nelson Peltz still had certain hopes, but when he heard the nationality of the actor, he knew that Nicola Peltz was eliminated.

But he is a sophisticated business tycoon after all. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Snape Drinks can become the main sponsor of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Duke smiled, but didn't say anything. Instead, he held up the coffee cup.

Snape stood out with its stylish and alternative style and won the market leader. This beverage brand is very high-end, but not a popular drink. Duke is skeptical about the promotional effect that cooperation with them can bring, and for a sponsorship , The risk of changing the heroine is simply not worth it.

When did his commercial masterpiece lack sponsorship?

Seeing Duke holding up a coffee cup, Nelson Peltz knew that these conditions did not move him. This was also expected. After all, the other party is the top director in Hollywood. If he is moved so easily, I am afraid that he will not reach his current position. .

Before coming, he did enough homework, knowing that Hollywood has suffered a money shortage since 2008, and that funding is the most indispensable basic condition for a successful film.

"I personally want to..."

But as soon as Nelson Peltz said his next words, he was interrupted by Duke, who put down his coffee cup, raising his hand, "Neil, I want to remind you that this is my movie, this is "Star Wars"!"

Nelson Peltz suddenly became dumb, and he couldn't help showing a bitter smile.

Yes, this is Duke Rosenberg’s movie, and this is still the "Star Wars" series. How could it be lack of investment? It is totally unrealistic to impress Duke Rosenberg with investment. Thoughts...

Just as an actress can win the heroine by taking off her clothes, it is not a reliable way to use part of the investment in Hollywood to ensure that one person can get the heroine of the corresponding movie, especially for commercial productions.

Take "Star Wars" for example, how much personal investment can Nelson Peltz have?

Duke has a certain understanding of the billionaire from New York. He was ranked 360th on the Forbes Global Rich List last year, with a net worth of about $1.1 billion.

This 1.1 billion US dollars is not working capital, but all property. In this way, how much can Nelson Peltz personally invest? Probably it is eight digits, and if "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is successful, what is the expected profit?

I'm afraid Nelson Peltz's total net worth can't be compared!

Compared to Nelson Peltz's investment of up to tens of millions of dollars, the huge risk of replacing an inappropriate heroine is simply too great.

As a veteran of shopping malls, Nelson Peltz naturally knew that there was no need to talk about it. Duke’s attitude was very obvious. It was impossible for his daughter Nicola Peltz to get "Star Wars: Original The heroine of "Li Awakens".

Nelson Peltz couldn't help but bring disappointment in his eyes.

But since I heard that Nelson Peltz intends to invest for his daughter, Duke’s mind has been transferred to other areas. Nicola Peltz’s information has long been transferred to Michael Bay’s hands, and this The rich second generation of child stars also participated in an interview, but his performance was not ideal.

The budget of "Transformers 4" is not as sufficient as "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". In order to save money, Michael Bay even plans to save the rebirth of Megatron, which is the transformation process of Shocking Sky. This will inevitably suffer To many fans' complaints.

For the entire series, Duke planned to invest another sum of money, but now he has a more suitable choice.

Nelson Peltz just wanted to say a few polite words, and then left, Duke suddenly spoke, "Neil, actually I am very optimistic about Miss Nicola Peltz’s future, it’s just her temperament and appearance. Not suitable for the requirements of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and the setting of the heroine."

Hearing Duke’s words, Nelson Peltz immediately swallowed what he almost said back into his stomach. Duke Rosenberg was optimistic about it. The news only spread. Nicola Peltz’s worth and Fame will rise a lot, maybe you can get a heavyweight actor contract.

"I recommended Miss Nicola Peltz to the director of "Transformers 4" Michael Bay..." Duke stopped.

Nelson Peltz said very well, "My consultant also suggested to me to invest in "Transformers 4."

Although the reputation of this series is worse than one, it is not a problem to recover the investment. Incidentally, it is a good deal to make my daughter an important actor.

Duke is obviously borrowing chickens to lay eggs. Hollywood has some ways to deal with foreign investors. If Nelson Peltz invests in "Transformers 4", it will be no problem to get the cost back in the future, but it will be difficult to make a profit.

It can be said that these two people have their own plans.

After finding a consensus, some conversations went smoothly. Duke didn’t say anything specific. These would be handled by Tina Fei. Besides, after Nicola Peltz’s first audition, the actual After Michael Bay had finalized her as the heroine, Nelson Peltz's investment and sponsorship contract was abducted by him.

For this globally highly sought-after series of films, almost whoever plays the heroine is popular. After Duke and Michael Bay kicked Amber Heard out of the series, the heroine of the film was also chosen by the media and fans. The focus of attention.

Originally, Duke didn't plan to change the heroine, but Amber Heard had been famous for so many years, he was still not smart enough, especially unable to control his own mouth. (To be continued.)
