I am the fifth king

Chapter 436 Rejection

"May I ask how much Xinxian intends to bid?"

He Jin asked.

"For $100 million, we want all the copyrights in North America, including the right of first refusal for the next few films in the series!"

Talking Jester, he gestured with a finger.

"Mr. Jester is so generous! But if it is at this price, I'm sorry."

He Jin smiled and refused directly.

New Line Cinema found out that they wanted to buy the copyright after "Fast and Furious" was only released for one day, which naturally shows that they are very optimistic about this film.

One million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is probably more than 100 million, not a lot.

But since he knew that the other party was optimistic about this movie, and He Jin himself was also very optimistic about "Fast and Furious", then He Jin would naturally not agree to sell "Fast and Furious" at this price.

"How much does Mr. He think is appropriate?"

Annie spoke, and he went straight to the point.

He Jin looked at Anni, he had already seen that Anni was the one who made the decision between the two.

Opening his mouth, He Jin was about to make an offer, but he suddenly thought, since New Line Films will come to the door, will other Hollywood companies come to the door?

If other companies find this film and are interested in it, does that mean he can shop around?

So, the quotation that came to his mouth was hidden by him, and he said instead:

"Now that "Fast and Furious" has just been released, neither of us can accurately judge the market for this film. How about waiting for "Fast and Furious" to be released?"

"This……"

Jester suddenly looked at Annie.

The reason why they contacted Jackie Chan so urgently and asked him to help introduce He Jin and Andy Lau was because they wanted to win the film as soon as possible!

When he came to Jinli Hotel, he heard that someone from the head office was interested in this film.

Although New Line belongs to Warner Times, there is still competition between the two.

New Line needs to make business to let Warner support them to be independent, and Warner Times has always wanted to see New Line's business fail, and then merge New Line into the head office.

"200 million US dollars, Mr. He should know that 200 million US dollars is already the highest price quoted by Xiangjiang Films. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Jackie Chan, his "Drunken Master 2" is only 150 million US dollars.

And he has a market in North America. "

Annie looked at He Jin and said.

Hearing the quotation of 200 million US dollars, not only Jackie Chan looked at He Jin, but even Andy Lau stared at He Jin.

200 million US dollars, this amount is almost already the highest price quoted by Hong Kong for a film introduced by Hollywood.

The current investment amount of "Fast and Furious" is around 700 million.

If the North American distribution rights were sold to New Line Films now, they would be able to get back half of the cost immediately.

Afterwards, Xiangjiang box office only needed more than 1000 million yuan to make them pay back, and the remaining sales of other Asian distribution rights plus the VCD distribution controlled by Xiangjiang on their own, these are all purely earned money.

"Feel sorry!"

He Jin shook his head.

He Jin's refusal made Anni frowned and looked at Andy Lau.

"Mr. Liu, as far as I know, each of you owns half of the copyright of this film, and you also have the right to speak."

Annie's words made He Jin's eyes turn cold.

This damn foreigner is sowing discord.

Indeed, due to investment reasons, Huaren and Tianmu share the copyright of this film, and Andy Lau also has the right to speak.

"Sorry, what He Jin means is what I mean! He can fully represent me."

Andy Lau hardly hesitated, and said directly.

Although he didn't understand why He Jin disagreed, Andy Lau knew very well that he and He Jin are now one.

While he did have every right to sell the rights, he wouldn't do something that would damage the brotherhood.

"Brother Long, I'm sorry, I have to go to the concert tomorrow, so I won't stay any longer. I'll invite you another day if I'm free!"

谷脛

Annie's sowing discord made He Jin feel uncomfortable, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and said goodbye.

"Mr. Annie, just as I said, let's talk after the film is released in Xiangjiang, um, if you still want to talk then."

Although unhappy, but the business still has to be done.

If Annie can really come up with a suitable price, he will also give him the North American copyright.

"Two million dollars is indeed a lot, but it is an ordinary movie and other actors, you may not know, my "mylove" may top the North American Billboard list next week.

Based on the influence of the album, as long as the movie is not bad, there will be a large number of fans paying for it.

In addition, only by shopping around can we get the most benefits. Since Xinxian can find us, other companies will come too. We don't need to agree to them so quickly! "

In the car, He Jin took the initiative to explain to Andy Lau the reason why he did not sell the copyright to New Line.

After a pause, he continued: "Even if no one else came to the door.

My tour will go to Europe and America. PolyGram has already started promoting this tour. As soon as the tour is over, my popularity in Europe and America will further increase.

At that time, our film will not worry about selling. "

"You don't need to explain to me, you told me when you approached me to invest, this film will be dominated by you.

Although we didn't sign a contract, we brothers still have to count on what we say.

Moreover, I am not a person who is open to money. The reason why I wanted you to agree just now is that I yearn for Hollywood. "

Andy Lau said with a smile.

"Understood, we brothers don't talk about this!"

He Jin smiled.

beep beep...

"I'll answer the phone!" He Jin looked at the newly bought Ericsson phone.

Sometimes He Jin felt that the change of communication equipment was really too fast.

When I first came to Xiangjiang, bb machines and mobile phones were popular at that time.

After he became popular, big mobile phones faded away, smaller phones became popular, and then, not long after, Ericsson phones appeared again.

After answering the call, He Jin hung up the phone, looked at Andy Lau with a smile, and shook the phone, "Hey, someone contacted us, and it's also a Hollywood company."

Hearing this, Andy Lau's eyes lit up, "Which company?"

"Watanabe Junichi from Warner Records contacted my assistant and said he wanted to talk to us. It is said that people from Warner Times are interested in "Fast and Furious."

He Jin said.

"Interesting, two departments in one company!"

Andy Lau laughed.

What he said was that New Line and Warner are two departments of one company.

"Let's refuse at first, and it will be easier to negotiate the price when Xiangjiang's box office comes out.

The reason why they are in such a hurry now is that they want to buy at a low price before Xiangjiang's box office explodes.

Our film is not a pure kung fu film, but a passionate commercial film.

This kind of film will definitely have a market more than pure kung fu movies.

At that time, maybe the final quotation of our film will become a new record for Xiangjiang films introduced by Hollywood. "

He Jin said.

"Okay, you are responsible for this matter. If someone comes to me, I will say that you are in charge of this matter."

Andy Lau knew very well that although He Jin was younger than him, this guy had already entered the world and knew more about Hollywood than he did.

And, business-wise, he's well aware that he's not good enough.

Therefore, he simply ignored the matter and let He Jin handle it.

"Well, I will continue to run the concert tomorrow, and I will ask the people who arranged the company to talk to them. You will bring a few leading actors and run a few promotions to try to increase Xiangjiang's box office.

We have word of mouth now, as long as the local box office of Xiangjiang rises, their quotation will be high. "
