As the two are already living together, Janet knows all about the release of Lola Run. So, the next day, the woman almost without obstacles to take over everything in the past.

Simon wanted to accompany her for a few days, but he was refused.

Janet's reason is also very strong, Simon around, she is easy to soft hearted, can not play out their own strength.

Simon didn't know how Janet worked afterwards. But on the following Thursday afternoon, after finishing the first formal contact on the issue of follow-up issuance rights, Mike medova called in a hurry and even accused Janet of being too ignorant with some grievances in his tone. He hoped Simon would continue to come forward in person and not let a woman fool around.

Despite some doubts, Simon would not rashly listen to the one-sided words of Mike medova.

However, after work that day, before Simon could ask Jennie about the negotiation in the morning, the woman had already brought back another contract: Mattel bought out the rights to issue dolls for a series of roles in ”Lola Run” for $2.3 million.

Even if the box office is booming, the peripheral copyright of ”Lola Run” is certainly far from being compared with super IP like ”Star Wars”.

Moreover, as a toy company mainly producing Barbie dolls, Mattel's favorite role image is definitely Lola, and mani and other characters will not be welcomed by consumers. As a result, Janet sold a single Rola doll for $2.3 million, far beyond Simon's expectation.

According to some information in the industry, Simon's previous highest expectation for the business was only about $1.5 million.

In this case, Simon naturally will no longer doubt Janet's ability, very relieved to leave everything to her.

In addition, Simon then adjusted his two companies appropriately.

After a left-handed operation, the box office share, sales revenue and surrounding revenue related to ”Lola Run” will all be transferred from Denise pictures to westero.

This kind of divestiture is to adapt to Amy's contract. Both parties have reached an agreement before signing the contract. Amy's 5% share of the company's net profit does not include the relevant income of ”Lola Run”.

Then, in order to avoid the financial entanglement with Janet, Simon drew up a formal supplementary contract in the name of westero: as the investor with 61.5% of the shares, Janet's share of income from ”Lola Run” only needs to be settled before December 31 this year.

This supplementary contract means that before the settlement, westero is free to reinvest the fund, and the extra profit generated does not need to be shared with Janet.

Simon also plans to operate stock index futures in the name of Westeros in the second half of the year, and even make more subsequent investment actions.

After these two aspects are solved, the potential interest disputes hidden in Simon's side are straightened out completely.

Deep down, Simon is still a moving person who lacks security after all.

If he doesn't deal with all this, he even worries that he will encounter a situation described by the hero in when Harry meets Sally: two people don't love each other one day, and then argue hysterically about who should have an 8-dollar dinner plate and waste $1000 in phone bills.

Janet clearly saw this in Simon's character, so she took the trouble to write out IOU after IOU for him to press his fingerprints. Women know that they do, Simon will not resist, but will feel very relaxed.

While Simon adjusted his two companies, many other things began to move forward more efficiently and quickly because Janet shared the distribution work of ”Lola Run”.

Mattel is very eager to launch the Rolla doll as soon as possible, which is also easy to understand.

As a result, within three days after signing the contract, the other party will transfer US $2.3 million into the account of Westeros. Simon then injected $1 million into Denise pictures in the name of a loan. Amy Pascal finally stopped paying for assistants, and the company began to recruit more people.

With the money, Amy soon talked about the script of when Harry meets Sally. The final price is $150000, not cheap, but definitely not expensive for Simon.

However, in order to win the script, danielis pictures also promised Nora Efron that the company would start the project within a year, and the production budget would not be less than $10 million.

In case of breach of contract, the script copyright will automatically return to the other party.

As for vulgar fiction, Simon produced his first draft in the following week because he no longer had to pay attention to the release of Lola Run.
