Hollywood starts with animation

Thanks to the relatively good box office of "Fatal Corner", the response of major Hollywood companies cannot be said to be unswift.

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 share of overseas box office, don't even think about it.

The fact is the same. The North American box office does not exceed US$50 million, and large companies will not mention the 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 will not give you overseas box office shares.

but.

Zhu Ke is not the head 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 that, it really breaks my heart! "

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

"Enough of you, 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?"

The old fox, who looks wronged, pretends to be seen?

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 with Fox, we will not give up."

Hearing this, Zhu Ke nodded.

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

"Well, my old friend, I won't participate in the specific negotiations. I will leave Victor in charge of these negotiations. You will talk to him later. I have something to do, sorry!" Zucker said suddenly.

Excuses!

Naked excuses!

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

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

Victor refused.

When Jordan was leaving, 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 also have to know that although I am the boss of the company, I can't speak up in the company. I have to consider Victor's opinion. What do you think?" Zhu Ke pretended to be helpless.

con man!

Damn liar!

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

With all that said, isn’t the money in place?

Bastard~!

Jordan narrowed his face, mmp in his heart.

"Zuke, this 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 welcomed.

——Sony Columbia!

"Mr. Wald, it's nice to meet you. My next friend is Itai Jiro from the Overseas Distribution Department of Sony Columbia! From now on, I would like to ask you more!

Sakai Jiro, a little devil.

The height 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 in Colombia is also welcome." Reach out without hitting the smiley people, not to mention that they came to give money.

In the following negotiations, Zhu Ke still did not come forward.

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, based on my understanding of 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 appears 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 hasty. After all, this is a disrespect for our cooperation. dont you agree?"

"Of course, of course." The 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 North American movies.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.

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

That is about 15 million US dollars.

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

What's more, what they are looking for 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, and peripherals, which are also included in this.

This part of the profit 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 useless!"

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

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

Zhuke was helpless.

........

That afternoon.

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 cooperate again." Reid said.

"Hope to continue to cooperate."

Zhu Ke and Victor Jones also warmly received Reid and others.

Reid continued: "Two of you, the last time Warner bought the overseas copyright of your company's "Fruit Hard Candies", we spent a full US$2 million. Compared to the two, we also know that Warner has lost money."

Loss?

Lost 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~!"

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

.......

Three days later.

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

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

It's not that Zhu Ke doesn't want to continue the negotiation, it is that all of them are very thief, and they are not willing 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 must 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 sell overseas copyrights.
