Chapter 576

Dai Lin said seriously.

But for some reason, she felt a little guilty in her heart. Qin Yu treated her as a good friend.

Yet she used the conversations between them as the foundation for her own promotion.

Thinking of this, Dai Lin felt terrible.

On one side is her career, on the other is friendship.

"Forget it, I'll remind Qin Yu later to stop telling me these things; it's so awkward~!"

However, Dai Lin was also a bit strange, always feeling that when Qin Yu told her about this last time, it was like he was deliberately showing off.

Dai Lin couldn't figure it out.

Does this guy Qin want Fox to know, or does he not want Fox to know?

This bad guy wouldn't be using her, would he?

On the other side.

Qin Yu was having morning tea with Steve and Jason.

Looking at Steve's constipated expression, he couldn't hold it in; this guy seemed to have realized something.

"Mr. Steve, does the matter we agreed upon last time still count?"

Steve's expression froze instantly, and then he said sheepishly.

"Of course it counts, of course it counts. Qin Dao, may I ask, how much do you plan to invest in your movie?"

"About 150 million US dollars."

Steve suddenly felt the world spinning. The production cost exceeded 100 million US dollars.

Even if Qin Yu pays for the "3-5-7" marketing costs himself.

But distributing a film with such a large investment, Warner Bros. would lose at least tens of millions.

After all, with such a large investment, you can't just pick a random time.

Company preparation, personnel scheduling, and liaising with theater chains—which one doesn't cost money?

Do you really think distribution is free?

Don't forget the opportunity cost. If Warner Bros. doesn't distribute Qin Yu's movie, distributing other movies would be a guaranteed profit.

Anyway, they get a share of the box office; whether your movie is good or not is none of my business.

He didn't sit steady for a moment and almost fell to the floor.

Jason, who was on the side, was more steady and asked.

"Qin Dao, let's put the distribution matter aside for now. Can Warner Bros. invest in your new movie?"

"Let me quietly reveal a piece of news to Qin Dao: the cover of the next issue of *Time* magazine's Asian edition will be you, Qin Dao."

Qin Yu's eyes lit up when he saw this.

"What if I'm not prepared to let Warner Bros. invest?"

"It will still be you."

Jason looked at Qin Yu without any hesitation.

"Qin Dao, this cover is what you deserve. Whether in terms of influence, talent, or contribution, it should be you."

"..."

"Since when did Warner Bros. become so easy to talk to? They started throwing benefits at me before anything even happened."

Qin Yu originally intended to cooperate with Fox; after all, with Dai Lin there, he could know everything about Fox.

He wasn't afraid of being cheated, but seeing Warner Bros. being so sincere.

He was a bit shaken; three-party investment wasn't impossible.

150 million US dollars is about 1 billion RMB.

If Qin Yu gritted his teeth.

Plus loans, he could come up with that much money.

But don't forget, this is Hollywood. Qin Yu, as an outsider, didn't want to share even a bit of the cake.

You want to make a movie?

In your dreams.

Impossible.

Just like the domestic entertainment industry, when the "three big rascals" first entered the entertainment industry, weren't they played clearly by the old veterans of the industry?

In the end, they could only run away in disgrace.

After learning their lesson, they started cooperating with the giants of the entertainment industry, which is how they got to where they are today.

Qin Yu didn't think he was as robust as the "three big rascals."

So he never intended to eat alone.

Cooperation leads to win-win results.

"I welcome Warner Bros.' investment, but no matter how much is invested, the ownership of the copyright is mine; Warner Bros. only has the right to dividends."

Jason and Steve looked at each other and said.

Steve said.

"May we take a look at the script first?"

"Sure!"

Qin Yu gave Bai Lu a look.

Little Bai Lu nodded, took two scripts out of her bag, and handed them to Steve and Jason.

"Qin Dao, please wait a moment."

After Jason finished speaking, he picked up the script and started reading.

【*Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl*?】

Jason naturally knew about the Caribbean.

This mysterious sea area is located in the western Atlantic Ocean, between North and South America.

Blue sea and sky, bright sunshine, the sea surface is as clear as crystal.

In the 17th century.

This was a must-pass place for merchant fleets from the European continent to reach the Americas.

Therefore, pirate activity was very rampant at that time, attacking not only passing merchants but even the British Royal Fleet.

It is very famous in history, and many people know about it.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief; at least the background choice was good.

Then he picked up the script and started reading it carefully.

Actually, the story of *Pirates of the Caribbean 1* is not difficult; it mainly revolves around the *Black Pearl*.

The handsome and charming Jack Sparrow.

Is a young pirate active in the Caribbean, owning his own pirate ship, the *Black Pearl*.

For him, the most comfortable life is sailing the *Black Pearl* in the Caribbean, freely robbing passing ships.

But unfortunately, these leisurely and carefree days are over.

He was deceived by the pirate leader Hector Barbossa, and even his beloved pirate ship, the *Black Pearl*, was stolen by Barbossa.

Afterwards, Jack ended up in a town and met the officer's daughter, Elizabeth.

As well as the pirate's son, Will Turner, who now makes a living as a blacksmith.

The story of the three joining forces to deal with Barbossa and take back the *Black Pearl*.

Barbossa wants to use the gold coins in Elizabeth's hands to lift the curse of the *Black Pearl*.

And Jack wants to take back his beloved ship.

It can be said that the most exciting and brilliant parts of *Pirates of the Caribbean* are the first three.

The first *Black Pearl* definitely has pioneering significance.

Mysterious treasures, skeleton pirates, eerie gold coin curses, thrilling and intense sea chases and fights, elegant and carefree English-style fencing duels,

As well as the dedicated and handsome Will, the beautiful and persistent Elizabeth, and the legendary and humorous pirate Jack.

All the attractive elements can be found here.
