"It's impossible to convince Qin to cooperate with just us. We can only strive for the maximum profit."

"We must discuss this with Jeff immediately." Jiesen's expression was solemn.

"..."

"Shi Difen, what do you think of the script?"

"Perfect. Don't forget, if we at Warner distribute this film, we can lower it to PG-13, or even PG directly is not impossible."

"In that case, the audience will be even wider."

"I understand."

The two left in a hurry.

Within two days, Qin Yu met with more than ten film companies.

Unlike Warner, the script could not be leaked.

He showed it to Warner because they had to distribute it, and Warner was indeed sincere and would cooperate in the future.

That was why he made an exception.

Other film companies wouldn't do; they only got the outline.

Take it or leave it.

"It's a pity, Qin." Bob looked at Qin Yu.

"If the leading rights to the copyright cannot be handed over to Disney, we cannot proceed with this investment."

Bob had read the script outline, and it was actually quite good, but Qin Yu wanted the leading rights to the copyright.

Disney could not tolerate this.

"Then I'll think about it some more."

"Alright, Qin, think it over carefully. The film is good, and Disney is very willing to maintain a good relationship with you."

"Thank you."

After this old man left, Qin Yu's expression didn't change at all.

But Bai Lu next to him was furious.

"Boss, this old man is too much, actually proposing to have final cut rights, wanting the copyright, and even being dissatisfied with the investment share."

"If we really gave it to him, wouldn't the boss become a worker?"

Xiao Bai complained.

"Forget it, no need to worry about him. Disney wants to pick up a huge bargain; how is that possible?"

Qin Yu said dismissively.

Actually, if Disney were willing to participate, Qin Yu would welcome it.

Disney and Warner don't have a good relationship and couldn't be of one mind.

Later, the *Pirates* series merchandise could be placed inside Disneyland; it was like that in the past life.

The pirate series attraction is also very popular at Disneyland.

But since Disney isn't sincere.

And still wants to pick up a bargain.

Qin Yu intends to give this thing to their competitors.

I heard Warner is also working on some Warner World; when the time comes, I'll give them a good way to piss off this bastard.

Qin Yu could tell that this old guy seemed to have a little bit of disdain.

He was trying hard to suppress his high-and-mighty posture, but it would still leak out subconsciously.

To put it bluntly, he's just a worker; Qin Yu doesn't even look up to him.

"Let's go, ignore him; we'll eat something good tonight."

"Alright, boss."

The next day.

The last one Qin Yu received was Fox; he had four choices, one being Warner.

The remaining two sincere ones were Universal and Lionsgate, and Fox.

However, Lionsgate's strength is a bit weak.

Qin Yu worried they couldn't suppress Warner, so the best choices were still Fox and Universal.

As soon as they met, Deng Wendi was very respectful.

After reading the outline, she spoke up immediately.

"Qin, just show us the script directly. We agree to all your requirements; the investment will not be less than thirty million US dollars."

"This is my promise to you."

Qin Yu saw this and wasn't surprised at all; it seems this little spy still needs to be disciplined.

Where does Deng Wendi's confidence come from?

He knows it all too well.

"Ma'am, thirty million is not a small amount; I think you should consider it carefully."

"No need." Deng Wendi appeared very generous.

"We are investing in you as a person."

"..."

"Tch, if I hadn't leaked the news, I would have really believed your nonsense."

Qin Yu thought to himself.

"Alright then."

Qin Yu gave Bai Lu a look.

Bai Lu quickly took out three scripts and handed them to Deng Wendi, Dai Lin, and Daniel.

Half an hour later.

Daniel stood up and said seriously.

"Who else has Director Qin shown this script to?"

"Warner."

"Damn!!" Daniel, as an absolute executive at Fox, has headed the production department for over 15 years.

He only needs to read a script once, or even just the beginning, to roughly guess whether it's good or bad.

Daniel hurriedly whispered a few words in Deng Wendi's ear.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"Absolutely no problem. Perhaps Qin wasn't bragging before; *Pirates of the Caribbean* will become the benchmark for pirate-themed films."

"Qin's directing ability is strong, and his screenwriting ability is even better."

"..."

Deng Wendi was silent; she had read the script and just thought it was very interesting, a good story.

But she didn't expect Daniel's evaluation to be so high.

She didn't doubt the authenticity of this production minister's words.

Compared to professional ability, Daniel is absolutely among the top tier in Hollywood.

"BOSS, the problem now is that Warner can also see it; Shi Difen and Jiesen are no worse than me."

"Damn it!" Deng Wendi was also numb; this solo meal couldn't be eaten.

"Then what should we do?"

"Snatch it."

Opposite, Qin Yu looked at Daniel with a faint, elusive smile on his face.

He thought to himself.

This guy is usually quiet, but his eye for talent is quite sharp.

He's stronger than those two at Warner, and his reaction is much faster.

However, Qin Yu thought about it carefully and it seemed there was no problem; Daniel was supposed to be the helmsman of Fox.

It's just that after Murdoch acquired 21st Century Fox.

He worried Daniel wouldn't be obedient, so he parachuted Deng Wendi in.
