Reborn as Kobe

Chapter 3: Black widow

   In November 1989, two Hollywood film companies, Fox and Disney, simultaneously sent people to Kobe, and they wanted to buy the film and television rights to "Home Alone".

  At the beginning, Cousins, a Disney staff member, proudly took out fifty thousand dollars and placed it in front of the Kobe family.

   "As long as you agree to hand over the copyright to us, the fifty thousand dollars will be yours."

   Because Kobe has been very mature since he was a child, Joe Bryant left his son to make his own decisions for many things.

   Kobe smiled and looked at the negotiators dispatched by Fox, waiting for Fox's bid.

   The Fox staff is a female named Melanie Sloan. Melanie did not bid, but said: "Mr. Bryant, you can give a suitable price!"

   Kobe said with a smile: "I participate in the share of the movie with the copyright, including the surroundings, and I will write the script, and I want to participate in the investment in this movie, and I need the right to advise on the actors and starring actors."

   "Impossible, don't think you are amazing after writing two books, fifty thousand dollars is the final price." Cousins ​​almost jumped onto the table.

   Kobe didn't refute anything, but smiled and opened the door.

   "Sir, I won't waste your time. I hope I have a chance to cooperate next time."

   Cousins ​​was dumbfounded, and in the end he could only put away the money, and slammed the door away angrily.

   Melanie of Fox was left. Kobe had a bargain with her, and finally Joe Bryant signed the contract on behalf of Kobe.

   In this contract, Kobe uses copyright, script and two million US dollars as capital, and automatically obtains 15% of the movie's box office and surrounding shares, and Kobe has the right to advise actors and directors.

   Kobe remembered that after the release of "Home Alone", the box office in North America alone reached more than 280 million. According to this figure, Kobe can share more than 40 million in the box office alone.

The reason for signing this fat contract is that on the one hand, the copyright is in Bryant's hands, and on the other hand, Fox has seriously underestimated the box office and influence of the film. After all, "Home Alone" written by Kobe is a copy at best. The sales of children's books can only be considered good. If the book "Home Alone" is in the top ten best sellers, Fox will not allow him to get so much share.

   Two million dollars almost emptied all the money Kobe has earned over the years. Dad Joe Bryant did not say much. To tell the truth, as a black family, Joe Bryant is very responsible and caring for his wife and daughter. Kobe really can’t understand how the original Kobe can fall out with his parents, even reaching the point of court.

In fact, this is because Kobe, who carries Liu Fugui’s soul, does not understand European and American culture. Chinese people pay attention to filial piety. As an orphan in the previous life, he finally has a complete family and the care of his parents. Kobe is naturally very filial to his parents. Far from being as rebellious as the original Kobe.

   The more sensible Kobe is, the more the Joe Bryants like their younger son.

   This time Kobe will leave Italy and go to Los Angeles. The Joe Bryant and his wife are naturally very reluctant and worried, and finally decided to accompany him back to the United States by Kobe's mother Pam Cox.

   In mid-February 1990, Kobe and his mother came to Chicago, Illinois, where there was already heavy snow.

   At the suggestion of Kobe, Macaulay Culkin was still chosen as the starring role of "Home Alone", this little guy who will be disabled in the future, now nestled in his mother's arms, staring at Kobe curiously.

   Kobe did not pay attention to Culkin, but played a game with a six or seven-year-old girl brought by Melanie.

   This little girl is in the period of changing teeth, and she looks very happy. The reason why Kobe would hang up with this little girl is because this little girl is called Scarlett Johansson, who is a widow who eats all over the world in the future.

   Scarlett will play the role of a girl next door in the movie this time. Like Kobe, she will take one or two minutes of footage, which is a big dragon.

   Melanie served as the producer of "Home Alone" this time. After all, Fox filming this movie is the result of her lobbying with Fox executives. She is very optimistic about the show.

   Kobe did not dictate to the crew. Instead, he held a basketball next to him and practiced his dribbling skills. When his left hand was tired, he switched to his right hand, and when his right hand was tired, he switched to his left hand.

   Little Scarlett looked around for a long time, and asked curiously: "Brother Steak, don't you find it boring?"

   For his father, Joe Bryant, he was full of resentment in his heart. Europeans and Americans named it whatever they wanted. Sometimes it was strange. Little girl Scarlett started calling him Steak Brother since she learned Kobe’s name from Kobe’s mother, Pamela Cox.

   "I warn you Scarlett that you are not allowed to call me Brother Steak in the future, otherwise I will never buy you delicious sweets again."

   Scarlett suddenly tangled her small face, and she wanted to cry.

   "Alright! Alright! Just call if you like! I'll buy you chocolate in a while." Kobe quickly began to comfort.

   Upon hearing Kobe's promise, Little Scarlett smiled.

   "I know Brother Steak is the best. When I grow up, I will marry Brother Steak."

   Listening to the cute girl's confession, Kobe's face became embarrassed.

   "Scarlett, you don't want me to buy you candy and chocolate for a lifetime, do you?"

   "Yes, Lily in our class said that she would marry the owner of this thing if she wants something, so she is going to marry the fat owner of the toy store when she grows up."

   Scarlett looked at Kobe innocently, as if Kobe had a candy house.

   Kobe stayed in the crew of "Home Alone" for a month and then left, because he found that there were no errors in the filming of the film.

   The day before he left, Kobe bought a large bag of all kinds of candies and chocolates. Little Scarlett held these candies and chocolates and cried very sadly.

   "Oh, Scarlett, Brother Steak will definitely come back to see you. Besides, don't you have my phone? If you want Brother Steak, just call your brother."

   Kobe held Scarlett and comforted him for a long time before letting the little girl calm down.

   "Brother Steak must speak his words, remember to write and call me, and don’t forget to mail me delicious sweets."

After returning to Italy, Kobe has re-invested in hard training. In the hard training of basic skills and shooting, Kobe will also pick up skills such as back singles and backward jumpers, but he does not practice much time, because all these skills are Based on the foundation, if you blindly pursue fancy moves, it will directly become fancy basketball or street basketball.

Many people in later generations hyped about how Kobe, James and others were slammed by streetball masters in New York Basketball Park. They said that these were all ball blind. When Liu Fugui black Kobe, he would not take this point. Say something. In terms of physical fitness alone, those so-called streetball masters who compete with NBA professional players will have to bow down.

   There is no one else who can successfully land on the NBA stage except for Alstom.

  At the end of the year, "Home Alone" was successfully released, creating a box office miracle in Hollywood, which made Fox happy and sad. I am happy that the movie is selling at the box office, but sad that I need to give Kobe more than 60 million dollars.

Originally, Fox wanted to delay the account, but Melanie told the Fox executives: "Kobe Bryant still holds the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone" in his hand. If you want to shoot a sequel, you can’t fall out with him. ."

   In the end, the Fox executives kept their promise and handed over the share to Kobe. Kobe knew that there was only one good thing, so when he negotiated again, he packaged and sold the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone" to Fox at a price of 20 million US dollars.

   The success of "Home Alone" suffered Cousins ​​who had come to negotiate. Cousins ​​was quickly kicked out of the company by Disney, and his reputation in Hollywood also stinks. No film and television company hired him, so he had to leave Hollywood in despair.

   Kobe went to pay taxes, and most of the remaining funds were invested in the emerging IT industry, mainly Cisco, Microsoft, and Oracle. This is good for the rebirths, and only buy the right ones, not the expensive ones.

   In 1992, Joe Bryant officially retired. Bryant and his family returned to the United States. Joe Bryant chose to settle in Philadelphia. Bryant also entered the Raul Merion High School in Raul Merion, a suburb of Philadelphia, and began his studies. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
