Everyone sat down in the reception area and did not give too many polite greetings. Simon handed the three documents to the three of them.

Shirley Lansing glanced at the title of the document and his eyes widened slightly.

Barbara Brockley and Michael Wilson saw each other's documents when they got them, and their eyes were filled with worries.

There are several words written on the cover of the document: Agents Film Universe Project.

Simon took the coffee brought in by Girl A and leaned on the sofa and said to the three: "This is just a draft. You can take a look first. There will definitely be some additions and modifications based on the specific situation in the future."

The Brockley brothers and sisters were able to see Simon today, not because they came to grind their teeth and saw the war, but only got the opportunity to meet after the Brockley family reached a compromise with MGM.

Simply put, the Brocre family has agreed to all the requests made by Simon two years ago, and has basically lost control of the 007 series from now on.

The only thing Simon has not changed is the profit distribution model between the two parties, which is also the main reason why the Brockery family agreed to compromise.

The content of the documents in your hand is simple and clear.

Simon plans to lead MGM and use the 007 series as the core to create an agent movie universe similar to the DC movie universe and the Soul Conjuring Movie Universe.

Agent movies have always been a big genre in Hollywood.

However, except for the ever-lasting 007 series, other agent movies can rarely be developed into a successful long-term series, let alone a movie universe connected to each other.

In fact, the concept of the ‘cinematic universe’ has only begun to emerge in recent years.

Now, with the "DC Cinema Universe" being sold at its peak, Daenerys Entertainment's separate horror film series "Soul Conjuring Movie Universe" also got a good start in the just-passed summer season. It was completely natural to build a "Agent Cinema Universe" with the popular agent theme in Hollywood.

Soon after finishing the draft of the plan in his hand, Shirley Lansing looked up at Simon and asked, "Simon, I didn't see the names of other projects from this information. Since I want to create a movie universe plan, I must not have only 007, right?"

Seeing that all three of them had read the information, Simon put down the coffee cup and said, "In addition to the 007 series, there is another project that has been temporarily confirmed. You should remember the popular TV series "Charlie's Angel" in the 1970s?"

Shirley Lansing thought for a while and nodded, "If this series is adapted into a movie, it is indeed very suitable for linking with 007, handsome guys and beautiful girls, and the audience will like it very much."

Simon said: "I plan to develop the "Charlie's Angels" series based on this TV series. There is also "Mission Impossible" co-operated by Daenerys and Paramount. Because this series has been very successful and copyright, it is not easy to connect with MGM. However, if the Agent Cinema Universe can be made in the future, the two sides can cooperate a small amount to achieve the goal of promoting each other's popularity."

Shirley Lansing was a little regretful when she heard the name of Mission: Impossible.

Daenerys and Paramount will definitely not let go of the copyright of the Agent series that is already developing a sequel. MGM is destined to be unable to get involved. However, she soon came up with her own idea: "Cage's pay will only get higher and higher in the future. I remember that the supporting roles in the Mission: Impossible series are very outstanding, and may appear in "007" or "Charlie's Angels" in the future."

Simon said: "Let's talk about this later, as long as the Agents Film Universe plan is successful enough, any possibility will happen."

Shirley Lansing was not satisfied: "So, is there anything else besides Simon, 007, Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible?"

Simon smiled and said, "Of course, Hollywood lacks the most agent-type scripts. However, just like the DC movie universe, the Big Three model is the most stable development plan. If you don't have to be in the movie universe, you can easily distract the audience's attention and the cost will increase significantly."

Shirley Lansing said: "But, you just said that Mission: Impossible can only be a small amount of interaction, and it cannot be considered a linkage."

"It's true," Simon thought about it for a moment, "and there is another project, which I got a few years ago, Robert Ludron's 'Borne' novel series, do you know this?"

Before joining MGM, Shirley Lansing was a very successful film producer in Hollywood. He had basically heard of the copyrights of all kinds of popular and best-selling novels, even if he didn't know much about them. Nodded, Shirley Lansing said: "However, I seem to remember that the copyright of the novel "Borne" was bought by Warner first."

Simon shrugged slightly without explaining too much, saying: "The Bourne series is not suitable for filming an orthodox personal heroic agent movie. Instead, it is more like the end-of-mind like Dr. Jin Bo in "The Desperate World", which can achieve the diversity of the agent's film universe. If it is all superheroes carved from a template, there is no need to form a movie universe. As long as the three core series "007", "Charlie's Angels" and "Spy Shadows" can be successful and coordinated, we can naturally develop other series in the future."

Shirley Lansing also realized at this time that compared to the draft plan I just read, Simon already had a very clear idea in her mind. She was about to continue saying something, but Barbara Brocky, who had been left by her, finally couldn't help but interrupt, with a clear resentment in her tone: "Simon, I believe that Bond itself is enough to support a very successful film universe, and there is no need to connect with other series."

Simon looked at the heir to the Brockley family who was somewhat similar to Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore, and said: "With the number of bombshell movies focusing on special effects, if the Bond series does not make changes and remains the same as the previous style, it will only gradually lose its appeal to the audience."

"But," Barbara Brockley hesitated for a moment, and said: "If you want to connect the 007 series with other movies, shouldn't we agree first? Don't forget that the Brockley family still owns half of the copyright."

Barbara Brockley's tone was a bit aggressive, Simon also lowered his face and said, "If I remember correctly, in the agreement reached between the Brockley family and MGM, the subsequent development of the 007 series will be completely dominated by MGM. If the Brockley family has objections to the project, you have the right to withdraw."

In the new agreement reached by both parties, if the Brocre family has objections to the project and is no longer willing to participate in the sequel production, they will only be able to take away 10% of the net profit share based on half of the copyright they hold in the future, which is the kind of person who does not work and only gets money.

Of course, with the special accounting system that Hollywood has never made much money, whether or not I want to share the 10% net profit of the Brockley family or how much it can really give depends on what MGM means.

On the other hand, if the Brocree family continues to work on this series, they will be able to get a gross profit share of up to 25%.

The production funds and issuance work of the 007 series have always been undertaken by MGM. The Brockery family used to be like a chef, who made a dish after the boss prepared all the ingredients. With just working hard, the gross profit of 25% after removing the most basic production and issuance costs is already very considerable.

What's more, members of the Brocre family who serves as producers will also receive a generous producer reward of guaranteed income from drought and flood according to the contract.

When Barbara Brockley discovered that she had changed her face, she realized that she was impulsive. The Brockley family had no room for bargaining in front of Simon. They regarded the 007 series as a treasure. This most powerful young man in Hollywood now doesn't mind permanently refrigerating this series.

This has been proven by the confrontation over the past two years.

After a moment of silence, Barbara Brocky said in a noticeable tone: "But, if you produce a linkage project, how can you distribute your interests? Mr. Westeros, we did not reach an agreement in advance, and you do not seem to have the right to make a decision."

Simon said: "As long as Bond participates in the project, the Brockley family can take away 10% of the gross profit."

Barbara Brocky was obviously very smart and immediately shook her head and said, "In this case, Mr. Westeros, if MGM casually let other project characters play guest appearances in the Bond series, our share score will be reduced from 25% to 10%. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Simon looked at the other party: "Do you think I like playing this kind of word game?"

Barbara Brockley subconsciously avoided the confrontation with Simon and said unforgivingly: "Maybe you won't do that, but this is Hollywood."

Simon asked: "Are you biased against Hollywood?"

Barbara Brockley said: "What Hollywood is like, Mr. Westeros, you should know better than us."

Simon looked at the woman who looked at him again and turned his eyes away again, with a smile on his face, but his tone was unquestionable: "I don't care what Hollywood used to be, but I have the final say in Hollywood in the future. Miss Brocree, as long as your family does their best to manage the 007 series, I have no idea of ​​excluding you at all. Even as long as you can cooperate, the Brocree family will only get more for me. So, don't be scheming with me."

Barbara Brocky hesitated for a moment and insisted: "10% is too little, at least half, 12.5%. Mr. Westeros, Bond is worth the price compared to your movies that have not appeared on the big screen."

Simon nodded happily this time: "No problem."

Barbara Brocky was stunned.

Simon leaned on the sofa casually and asked with a smile: "Do you think you're going to be missing?"

Barbara Brocky obviously had no confidence, but he still tentatively increased his investment: "15%.

Simon shook his head: "I am never stingy with people who work for me, and you should see this. However, the premise is that you must prove your value. Since you want 12.5%, I will give it to you, but in the future development of the 007 series and subsequent linkage projects, the Brocreese family must also make corresponding efforts. If I think you are not worth so much in the future, don't say 12.5%, you don't want to get 10%.

Barbara Brocky was obviously not used to Simon's strength: "Mr. Westeros, are you going to break the contract?"

Simon smiled and said, "You just said that this is Hollywood."

As he said this, Simon raised his wrist and looked at his watch, interrupting Barbara Brocky who wanted to continue saying something: "Okay, you can discuss the specific contract details with Shirley. Let's talk about Bond's next development. I just said that if the Bond series continues its previous model, it will only go to a dead end. Therefore, in the future, in addition to the linkage of the Agent Cinema Universe series, Bond story itself also needs a certain degree of continuity, and each one cannot be an independent story without any connection. MGM has taken back the copyright of the Ghost Party. Next, Bond, Charlie's Angel, Born and other series, in the first stage of the Agent Cinema Universe, there will be a common enemy, the Ghost Party. According to this idea, MGM's first thing to do is to set up a dedicated creative team to give advice for the entire series."

It was not until after six o'clock that the Brockley brother and sister left Daenerys Cinema in a complicated mood.

Think about the glory of the DC Cinema Universe series. According to the plan of a young man, once the Agent Cinema Universe plan is successful, the Brocreese family will indeed have a chance to go to another level.

Of course, it may also be completely marginalized.

The key is whether Simon Westeros can execute the will of Simon Westeros.

This feeling is not good, but it is a reality that the Brockley family has to face.

Shirley Lansing was quite excited.

Although Simon mentioned the "Charlie's Angels" and "Spy Shadows" series are developed in collaboration with Daenerys Entertainment just like the DC Cinema Universe project, only half of the benefits will be. Just think about it and you will know how huge it will be.

As long as the Agents Cinema Universe is successful, MGM will completely get rid of the current decline at the bottom of Hollywood.

The Brockley brothers and sisters invited to have dinner together, remembering that there was a cocktail party at the home of WMA CEO Jonathan Friedman tonight. After leaving the restaurant, he mentioned it. The Brockley brothers and sisters who expected to have more intersections with Hollywood in the future naturally agreed and the three rushed to the Belaire community where Jonathan Friedman lives.

Arriving at the destination, the reception has begun.

Because it was a weekday, the scale of the reception tonight was not large, but the attendance was basically the big names under WMA and senior executives of Hollywood studios.

As a Hollywood native, Shirley Lansing enthusiastically recommended the guests at the scene to Brockley brothers and sisters. After socializing in the courtyard, entering the villa, the sharp-eyed Barbara Brockley saw a young man who had just met not long ago.

Simon Westeros was sitting on the sofa in a corner of the living room of the villa, holding a tall and sexy young girl in her arms, talking tonight's host Jonathan Friedman. Another white male star was sitting next to Friedman. Barbara Brocky quickly recognized that it was Jim Carrey who became popular in Hollywood in the first half of the year with "Detective's Aircraft Head".

Because he has been away from Hollywood circles, Barbara Brockley is not aware of the entanglement between Jim Carrey and Daenerys Entertainment. She just looked at each other, turned her eyes back to the man, and then turned slightly and fell on the girl who fell into the man's arms.
