Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 48: They are all talents!

   Thanks to the relatively good box office of "Fatal Corner", the response of major Hollywood companies can not be said to be unsatisfactory.

   In just one day, as many as three major companies called and contacted to purchase the overseas copyright of "Deadly Bend".

   As for Qixi's overseas box office share, don't even think about it.

  The same is true of the facts. The North American box office does not exceed US$50 million, and large companies will not mention to you a box office sharing agreement issued overseas. This is the cruel reality. Of course, Zhu Ke also understood very well. In another way, if Zhu Ke is the person in charge of a large company, he won't give you any overseas box office share.

   But.

   Zhu Ke is not the person in charge of a big company!

   Therefore, facing the choice of only selling overseas copyrights, Zhu Ke was very upset. Of course, if you are unhappy, you still have to sell overseas copyrights.

"Zuke, my old friend, if you don't sell the overseas copyright of "Fatal Bend" to us, don't you want to sell it to Warner? If you do this, it really breaks my heart! "

   Jordan, the representative of Paramount's overseas distribution department, made a distressed look at this moment.

   "You have enough, Jordan."

Zhuke looked at him and said with a smile: "Jordan, we are old friends, but Warner and I are also friends. You are all my friends, and you are all big companies. I can't afford to offend anyone in this way! In this case, how do you let me choose?"

   Old fox, with a wronged look, who pretends to be?

   Jordan frowned slightly and said: "Zuke, we at Paramount are bound to win the overseas copyright of "Fatal Bend", let alone Warner competing with us, even if Fox is added, we will not give up."

   Hearing this, Zhuke nodded.

   As one of the top six in Hollywood, Paramount does have this confidence!

   "Well, my old friend, I will not participate in the specific negotiations. I will leave these to Victor. You will talk to him later. I have some things, sorry!" Zhu Ke said suddenly.

   Excuse!

   Naked excuses!

   But in fact, there are also many benefits. Victor is allowed to come forward, and no matter what the result is, there is a buffer room.

   In the first round of negotiations, Paramount offered $7.5 million.

   was rejected by Victor.

   When Jordan left, he passed by Zhuke's office and looked at him quietly and said, "Zuke, the price of 7.5 million US dollars is not low."

   "Oh? I know. But man, you have to know that although I am the boss of the company, I can't say anything about the company, and I have to consider Victor's opinion, what do you say?" Zhu Ke pretended to be helpless.

con man!

   Damn liar!

   You **** said to Lao Tzu, you can’t be the master? You lie to the ghost.

   Say so much, isn’t it just that the money is not in place?

   bastard~!

   Jordan narrowed his face, mmp in his heart.

   "Zuke, the first negotiation was not completed, but you must keep it for me. Don't wait for me to apply for a higher price and you will sell the copyright."

  ...

   near noon.

   In the meeting room of Wald Pictures, another wave of guests greeted.

  ——Sony Columbia!

   "Mr. Wald, it's nice to meet you, my next person is Itai Jiro from the Overseas Distribution Department of Sony Columbia! In the future, please give me your advice!"

   Sakai Jiro, a little devil.

   is not tall, only about 1.65 meters, the whole person looks very sharp and tough, of course, the bow when he meets, also makes Zhuke feel more face.

   "Mr. Itai, you are welcome, and everyone from Colombia is also welcome." He stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiley people, not to mention that they came to give money.

   Zhu Ke still did not come forward in the next negotiation.

   Give full responsibility to Victor.

   "Mr. Jones, I think the US$8.5 million offered by Sony Columbia is absolutely sincere. And I believe that according to what I know about Paramount's stinginess, their bid will never exceed US$8 million."

   At this moment, the little devil Sakai Jiro, where is the previous politeness?

   The whole person looks confident and cunning.

Victor nodded and smiled: "Of course I believe in Mr. Itai's judgment and thank your company for your sincerity, but I can't make a decision too hastily. After all, this is a disrespect for our cooperation. dont you agree?"

   "Of course, of course." Little Devil Itai was not annoyed either.

   To be honest, big companies are dark enough!

  According to the North American movie market and the overseas movie market, the overseas box office of a movie is 1.5 times that of the North American movie. The analysis pointed out that the final box office of the movie "Fatal Corner" in North America is expected to be 30 to 32 million US dollars. In other words, the overseas movie box office is expected to be 45 million US dollars.

   45 million US dollars in overseas box office, large companies can get about 1/3 of the box office share after removing various costs such as copying, cinema share, and distribution fees.

   is about 15 million US dollars.

   And they bought the overseas copyright of "Fatal Bend" from Wald Pictures, but they bid 8-9 million US dollars, which alone made millions of dollars.

   What's more, what they are buying is the complete overseas copyright of the film, including but not limited to the overseas distribution copyright of the film, as well as the copyright of overseas DVDs, video tapes, peripherals, etc., which are also included in this.

  The profit of this part is definitely not low.

   At least it can bring millions of dollars in profits to large companies.

   That's right, the big profits are all made by big companies!

   "I know it's no use knowing this!"

   "Large companies rely on sound overseas distribution channels to openly exploit small and medium companies. What can you do?"

   "Unless you don't want to make this money, just put the movie in your hands."

  Zuke is very helpless.

  ...

   in the afternoon of the same day.

  Wald Pictures once again welcomed a wave of guests.

  ——Time Warner Corporation!

  The representative is Reid, an assistant to the head of the issuing department.

   "Mr. Wald, Mr. Jones, we have to work together again." Reid said.

   "I hope to continue to cooperate."

   Zhuke and Victor Jones also warmly received Reid and others.

Reid continued: "Two, the last time Warner purchased the overseas copyright of your company's "Fruit Hard Candies", but it cost a full US$2 million~www.novelmtl.com~ Compared to the two, we also know that we Warner But it was at a loss."

   Loss?

   Lose a ghost!

"Yes, just based on the overseas box office distribution, you have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but there is also a DVD market around "Fruit Hard Candies". In these two months, you have made more than 1 million. It's the dollar." Zhu Ke said with a smile.

   "Hahaha~!"

   Reid's awkward expression lasted only a second, then he turned off the topic and said, "The two will pass by. Let's talk about the cooperation of "Fatal Bend"."

  ...

   Three days later.

   The overseas copyright of "Fatal Turn 1" finally settled on Time Warner!

   For this, Time Warner paid a full $10 million in funding!

   It's not that Zhu Ke doesn't want to continue the negotiation, it's that they are all very thief, and they are reluctant to continue to add.

   Well, you said that Paramount and Fox, the two film companies that gave up buying overseas copyrights, why not continue to add funds?

   Yes, it stands to reason that they will not lose money even if they pay a price of 15 million US dollars.

   can make more money!

   However, they still choose to give up.

  Because there are too many movies produced in North America every year~!

   At the same price, they can get other better movies that can bring them more profit, so it is not surprising that they abandon the "Fatal Bend" movie.

   We need to know that there are so many movies produced by Hollywood every year, and at least 75% of the movies that have not been screened overseas. Therefore, it is not easy to be able to sell overseas copyrights.
