Chapter 275

~6 min read 1,046 words

What's more, DC is still going downhill now, heh, now negotiate properly, the profit won't be a 50-50 split.

Done!

I have to say, seeing Yu Mo's calculating little look, even Yang Mi was a bit dazed...

Well! Originally thought you little guy would develop step by step in the domestic film industry, and at most become a new director like Xu Zheng or Chen Chen Chen Sicheng in these two years.

But as a result, you actually overtook on a curve, ran to the foreign track, and were also far ahead on the international track.

Now don't mention Xu Zheng or Chen Chen Chen Sicheng.

Even top domestic directors like Chen Chen Chen Kaige and Zhang Zhang Zhang Yimou were left behind by you!

Good heavens, wait until you film *Avengers 3* and *Aquaman*.

And then participate in some film festivals in the country!

What would that be like?!!!

(Sorry, I have a cold and fever today, only three chapters, I will try to make up for it tomorrow night, if I can't make up for it, it's a minimum of four chapters, really sorry!).

"A surprise?" Upon hearing this, Yu Mo kissed the woman's small mouth and smiled.

What was this?

There would be more to come in the future.

……

Once the plan was set, Yu Mo directly had Yang Mi reply to DC's email!

After all, it wasn't as if everyone in the company was a graduate of Tsinghua or Peking University; the least educated was Yang Mi!

She was also extremely proficient in foreign languages.

So, when Yang Mi realized what was happening, she was a bit dumbfounded.

What? I'm the boss's wife, how did I suddenly become a little assistant?

But then she thought about how the other party was DC!

Well, forget it, being one for a day is fine!

……

Thus, Yang Mi quickly replied to DC's letter!

Meanwhile, Gunn, the head of DC, was still anxiously waiting for a response from Jade Rabbit Media.

That's right, DC had been on a downward slope, and as president, Gunn was more anxious than anyone.

But there was no helping it; Marvel Studios was too strong, and each film was better than the last.

Now, they had even released *Avengers 3*, which had already swept 17 billion in global box office, and might even challenge for the top spot on the global film box office charts!

How could they sit still?

That was why they sent an invitation immediately, hoping to collaborate with Yu Mo as well.

……

After all, DC and Marvel weren't actually that different in terms of series; they just lacked a good director and a good script!

So, naturally, Gunn didn't want to miss this opportunity.

And when he received Yu Mo's email just now,

he was delighted, but his brow furrowed upon seeing Yu Mo's conditions.

The condition was that he would agree to participate as a director and even write the script.

But the requirement was that he could designate the actors and receive a 50% share of the net profits!

One had to know that the investment for a sci-fi film was terrifying, starting at 300 to 400 million USD, which was at least 2 billion RMB!

But look at Yu Mo!

The part about designating actors was fine, because they trusted Yu Mo's eye.

But this latter clause...

He actually dared to ask for 50% of the net profits directly.

……

Therefore, when Gunn sent this news to other DC executives,

everyone's first reaction was the same:

"Impossible, that's too high~!"

"Yu Mo is too arrogant, how could that be!"

"I disagree, the risk is too high! And he would get almost all the profit!"

……

However, one vice president offered a different perspective: "I actually think we could give it a try!"

"Because this young director named Yu Mo has already proven his strength with *Avengers 3*. Even if our series only gets half the box office of *Avengers 3*, we are guaranteed to earn 500 million USD! I think it's worth a shot!"

"That's right!"

Soon, another person stood up and said just one sentence, which made all the objectors shut their mouths.

"In these years, how many of our DC works have lost money!"

Just one sentence made everyone fall silent.

It was true; others might not know, but they knew clearly.

DC had lost too much; almost every film was losing money.

*The Flash*, *Wonder Woman*, and even their pride and joy, *Superman 2*, were all losing money!

Since it had reached this point,

why not take a bold chance?

……

Thus, the original high-level shareholders relented.

"Fine, perhaps we can let Yu Mo try!"

"I agree!"

"I agree too! I hope he doesn't disappoint us this time!"

"Good, I understand!"

Gunn nodded slightly as he saw the executives agree.

So, he accepted all of Yu Mo's requests.

……

When this news reached the Jade Rabbit Studio,

Yang Mi was shocked that Gunn had actually agreed.

She jumped up from her boss's chair.

Her foxy, pretty face was filled with disbelief.

My god, did I hear that right?

Such an outrageous request, and they actually agreed?!!!

This, this is just too incredible!

"Yu Mo!" After a long while, she finally regained her senses, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yu Mo as she couldn't help but ask: "How, how did you do it?"

How did he do it!

Facing this question, Yu Mo secretly scoffed in his heart.

That went without saying; it was because he knew the current state of DC.

In his past life, after a series of failed investments, DC was already on the verge of bankruptcy!

If it hadn't been for *Aquaman* pulling them back, it might have been even worse!

He had simply seized this opportunity with his foresight!

That was why he dared to make such an outrageous demand.

Otherwise, who would dare to open their mouth so wide!

……

But of course, he wouldn't say these things, only pretending to be calm: "DC's current situation isn't great, but collaborating with me is different. My collaboration gives them a chance to turn things around. *Avengers 3* is a great example; why wouldn't they want to try?"

That sounded like a perfectly valid point!
