If possible, Zou Wenhuai really wanted to release it in North America without telling Lin Li.
However, Zou Wenhuai also understood that this was basically impossible. Lin Li was a little vixen.
Right now, Jiahe still needed the golden signboards of Lin Li and Bruce Lee.
It could be said that once Lin Li quit, the Shao family would definitely offer a high price to poach Lin Li.
The Shao Family was extremely harsh towards their artistes, but they were not stupid. Knowing Lin Li's level, they would definitely be willing to pay a huge sum of money.
A director worth 10 million!
There was no other branch in Xiangjiang.
Later, after Cheng Long became famous, Shao Corporation and Jiahe spent a lot of money. In the end, He Guanchang used 10 million Hong Kong dollars to tie Cheng Long to Jiahe.
Lin Li was obviously more valuable now than Cheng Long when he had 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Robert!”The burly Caucasian took the initiative to introduce himself to Lin Li.
"Hello, Mr. Robert!" Lin Li shook hands with Robert, and smiled.
Although Lin Li was not very familiar with Robert, he had read a lot of information about Bruce Lee.
It was this person who took a fancy to Bruce Lee's martial arts and actively recommended Bruce Lee to his parent company, Warner Bros.
It was also from now on that Bruce Lee's Fight the Dragon and Future Death Game came into being.
Director Robert did not have many works, and most of them were related to Bruce Lee.
However, this guy's taste was still quite good.
The movie he directed," Fight the Dragon," had a box office of 90 million dollars in North America and more than 200 million dollars worldwide.
The word " Kung Fu " was coined by Bruce Lee, but it was Robert who spread it to the whole world.
This Robert is here for me?
Lin Li was slightly puzzled. As expected, he heard Robert slowly say,"Hello, Lin. I'm very happy to meet you. God, I believe that you're the most talented Chinese director I've ever seen!”
"Have you seen the movie I directed?”Lin Li was slightly stunned, and looked at Robert with amusement.
"Of course, Lin. I've seen your works,'Jingwu Gate',' Léon: The Assassin?”"Fine Martial Arts Gate allowed me to see Bruce's powerful martial arts, while Léon: The Assassin allowed me to see your delicate handling of emotions!”
Robert was so excited that he completely ignored the people around him. This made Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's expressions turn ugly.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. Right now, Jiahe's overseas cinema chain was tightly limited to Southeast Asia, North America, and even the entire world. There were no other cinema chain channels.
"Mr. Robert, why are you here?”Lin Li asked directly.
" It's like this, Lin. I hope that your 'Léon: The Hitman' can be screened in North America," Robert said without hesitation."I have a feeling that if Léon: The Hitman is released in America, it will definitely do well at the box office!”
Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but cough. He felt that he had been ignored for a long time.
Lin Li smiled, and said slowly,"Mr. Robert, it's indeed a joyous thing for my work to be screened in North America. However, I still have to discuss this matter with my company!”
Lin Li pointed at Zou Wenhuai as he spoke.
"Mr. Zou, let's talk about how to cooperate in detail!”
Robert hadn't personally directed many movies, but as a producer, he had made quite a few movies. Naturally, he had a say in Warner Brothers.
At this moment, Zou Wenhuai was also very anxious.
For Zou Wenhuai, he wasn't sure how Lin Li's Léon: The Assassin would sell in North America.
However, this didn't stop Zou Wenhuai from working with Warner Bros.
This was the best opportunity to open his own channel. Zou Wenhuai never expected Bruce Lee to create such an opportunity.
Robert's attitude was also very normal. Warner Bros. could split the shares equally with Jiahe, but how could they split the 50% of Jiahe with Lin Li?
Lin Li was not someone to be trifled with.
Zou Wenhuai wouldn't have cared about any other director, but now, he had to pay attention to it.
Zou Wenhuai took a deep breath, and then his gaze fell on Lin Li. He smiled and said,"Lin Li, what do you think?"
"My view is very simple. For 'Jing Wu Men', as the director, I will take 10% of the profits and 10% of Jiahe's profits. For' Léon: The Assassin 'as the lead actor and director, I want 50% of the box office profits!”
Lin Li directly stated his request.
Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but frown. He didn't like Lin Li's unreasonable demands. He was even more difficult to deal with than Bruce Lee.
Naturally, Lin Li had his own opinion.
After all, Zou Wenhuai wouldn't be able to earn a single cent without his own movie. If it was his own company, all the money in North America would belong to him.
They had no choice but to use Zou Wenhuai's cinema channel.
It was better to endure it for now. When the stock market crash broke out in 1973, the money he had in the stock market would be enough for him to make a fortune. When the stock market crash broke out, it would be the best opportunity for him to bargain.
At that time, he would naturally be able to calmly make arrangements. He would take advantage of the stock market crash to wantonly acquire theater chains and establish his own theater chain. At that time, he would take advantage of the situation to establish his own company.
Lin Li would not be oppressed by Jiahe forever.
"Alright, we'll split it 50 - 50!”Zou Wenhuai took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
He didn't think that Lin Li's movie would sold well in North America.
So far, no Chinese film had been able to sell sold well in North America.
What Zou Wenhuai cared about was the future market. Moreover, no matter how small a grasshopper's leg was, it was still meat. If his movie was sold in North America and spread, it would also increase Jiahe's reputation.
It was precisely because of this that Zou Wenhuai didn't mind being on par with Lin Li.
Zou Wenhuai had good taste, but he underestimated the wave of martial arts movies.
Otherwise, Zou Wenhuai wouldn't have agreed so readily.
Lin Li did not stand on ceremony at all, and took the opportunity to sign a new contract.
The movies that he directed or starred in would be split 50 - 50 with Jiahe in the North American box office.
The main character would definitely start his own film company, and the cinema chain would also be settled. However, the premise was that the main character had to have enough money. Now that the main character was short of money, the main character would probably make a fortune during the stock market crash in 1973. Then, he would buy the cinema chain and form his own film company!
