Chapter 577

After the first *Pirates of the Caribbean* from my past life was released.

Depp, who played Captain Jack, leaped to become the most popular Hollywood star globally.

The same went for the pirate's son played by Orlando, a character defined by his devotion and deep affection.

Furthermore, the scene in the film where he duels Captain Jack at the blacksmith shop also attracted a great deal of love from female audiences.

Finally, Keira Knightley, who played Elizabeth, also became a true Hollywood star.

She is also a representative image of British nobility.

The three characters achieved success through one another; in Qin Yu's view, aside from the fight choreography being a bit lackluster, the entire film...

... had almost no flaws in its plot and character design.

As a Chinese person, that is how Qin Yu felt.

As authentic Americans, Jiesen and Shi Difen felt this even more so.

Moreover, the revised script had changed from the original foundation...

The plot is tighter, the suspense is deeper, and most importantly, the portrayal of Will Turner, the pirate's son, is more perfect.

The effeminate and handsome pirate captain Jack and the sturdy, masculine pirate's son born from blacksmithing form a sharp contrast.

It can absolutely satisfy the appetites of anyone with any preference.

Opposite him, Jiesen had just finished reading and spoke up immediately.

"Qin, *Pirates of the Caribbean* is a film series."

"That's right." Qin Yu smiled and nodded.

"How many do you plan to film?"

"I haven't decided yet."

Jiesen "..."

"Warner will invest in this film, a fifty percent share, and Warner will cover the marketing and distribution costs."

"We can sign the contract immediately; I guarantee with Warner's reputation that the money will arrive within one day."

Shi Difen said excitedly.

As a production manager, it had been a long time since he had seen a script with such brilliant character design and plot.

Mysterious treasures, skeleton pirates, the eerie gold coin curse...

These are all elements that can make the audience's adrenaline soar, and more importantly, Qin Yu's portrayal of pirate captain Jack.

Detached from traditional meaning, he is not a good person, nor is he a bad person.

He is a dreamer, very humorous, interesting, although he also has many shortcomings.

But deep down, he carries a sliver of kindness.

Filming it will absolutely make people's eyes light up, and the other protagonist is not bad either, upright, kind, and devoted.

Shi Difen believes that perhaps in a year, Qin can really give Hollywood a huge surprise.

*Pirates of the Caribbean* might truly become a milestone for the pirate genre.

If he could invest, perhaps the distribution he promised earlier wouldn't be a problem either.

After all, he has an investment, and free distribution would just be working for himself, which could reduce losses.

But Qin Yu looked at Shi Difen and rolled his eyes; does this guy use Warner's reputation as a guarantee at every turn?

It was like this last time, and it's like this again this time; I don't believe you.

"Mr. Shi Difen, you should fulfill your previous promise first before talking."

"Qin, it can absolutely be fulfilled."

"..."

"Warner's investment is fine, but given that your credibility, Mr. Shi Difen, is in doubt..."

"It's impossible to invest that much."

Qin Yu looked at the two of them.

"This time I am prepared to offer a fifty-five percent investment share, with the two companies and Qin Yun Culture investing together."

Qin Yu had carefully considered this share.

He would put up forty-five percent of the investment.

As director, producer, and screenwriter, he would take another ten percent of the global box office share.

It seems like more than half of the profits are being taken away, but that is not the case.

He still takes the lion's share.

It's cut just right; to outsiders, Qin Yu definitely hasn't hogged it all—you've already split more than half, what else do you want?

Another point is that this money is almost the limit of what he can come up with.

He still has to take out a loan.

Hearing this, Jiesen hurriedly said.

"Qin, there's no need; Warner can take on the entire fifty-five percent investment. Don't worry, the leading rights to the copyright will still remain in your hands."

"That's right, Qin, cooperative filming is prone to problems, and it's not good for the two companies."

"That's right, Qin, in that case, the efficiency will be much slower."

"..."

Shi Difen and Jiesen kept trying to persuade him.

PS: Second update, one hour later, there is one more.

295 We didn't intend to scam you, the high-and-mighty Disney, the absolute trust of Fox, project approval, the shock of fans and netizens.

They were actually quite satisfied with the investment share Qin Yu offered.

The kid is sensible.

But why let others come and snatch the food? We can afford this money!

Let alone fifty-five percent, even eighty percent or one hundred percent.

Warner could take it out without even blinking.

Who is the parent company of Warner Bros.? WarnerMedia!!

A true giant of American media.

And it is an authentic local giant.

It is different from 21st Century Fox and Disney.

Fox acquired cable TV stations and then developed slowly.

Disney is the same; it is also different from Warner, having developed from a film company into a media giant.

In the media field, Warner is the undisputed boss.

It has the largest market share.

Even presidential candidates have to curry favor with WarnerMedia.

It lacks neither money nor influence.

"No, don't blame me for speaking bluntly, but with just the two of you, I'm afraid of being scammed!"

At this, Jiesen and Shi Difen's faces turned black instantly; we didn't intend to scam you.

But no matter what, Qin Yu would not agree.

They talk nicely, but when they see such huge profits, who can say for sure?

Find another partner, three companies together, no matter who it is, they can't be of one mind with Warner.

In this way, Qin Yu not only doesn't have to worry about being scammed, but he can also play both sides.

Jumping back and forth.

"Alright, let's leave it at this for now; I still have to receive people from Universal in the afternoon. Goodbye, you two."

After finishing, Qin Yu hurriedly took the script back from their hands.

"Shi Difen, let go!"

"..."

Then he left with Bai Lu.

"Jiesen, what do you say?"
