My Wealth is like a Deep Sea
Chapter 194
"Of course see you!"
Yang Long immediately said, "Where is he?"
"Currently just got off the plane!"
Ye Ziting said, "If you want to make an offer, you can invite other artists or agents in Hengdian to meet and have a meal together. Let's talk about the initial cooperation intentions!"
Yang Long looked to Zhou Yi: "Can these stars come?"
"I'll call and ask! If you can't, just talk on the phone and talk to their agent!" Zhou Yi said.
"Good!" Yang Long said to Yezi Ting, "you contact Lin Dao and let the hotel arrange a banquet room or a small meeting room. You can sit down and talk."
Ye Ting and Zhou Yi went to their respective busy immediately.
Yang Long stayed alone in the room. He wanted to make a phone call with remote Qin Xi'er and let her go to Longhuang Entertainment to see the progress and situation of the script.
This time, the focus is actually on the screenwriter.
Yang Long signed three screenwriter studios in one go, adding up to a total of 18 screenwriters, working together to create the script, and also invited the original author Z Dalai to produce the script.
These people are now in Dragon Emperor Entertainment, just like being in captivity. There is a person in charge of eating and drinking Lasa for 24 hours. There is also a driver to pick up and go out when purchasing, and the money is also particularly large.
...
in the afternoon.
A small meeting room in the Marriott Hotel.
Yang Long and Yezi Ting came in first, and not long after, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, two men walked in.
"Mr. Yang, this is Director Lin Chaoxian!"
Zhou Yi introduced it and said to Lin Chaoxian, "This is Chairman Yang Long of Zhongdu Group. This time the investor, this is Miss Ye Ting, the general manager of Longhuang Entertainment."
Upon hearing that Yang Long was an investor, Lin Chaoxian took the initiative to reach out and chuckled with a non-standard ordinary smile: "Chairman Yang is good, I didn't expect you to be so young!"
The young man next to him pointed out, "This is the assistant director and my assistant, Han Bei!"
"Hello Lin Dao, Han Dao!"
Yang Long shook hands with them, and then said, "Director Lin, I have watched your movie since I was a kid. "Escape from Study" is simply too classic!"
"Haha, Mr. Yang laughed, and being able to cooperate with such an excellent young investor shows that my old man is not in vain!" Lin Chaoxian politely said.
After the two sides were seated, Lin Chaoxian directly said: "Chairman Yang, I spent three days reading the first sixty chapters of this book. It was really wonderful. If you want to make a movie, you must score the series. Shoot, but I have a question, that is, the copyright issue involved, don’t know if the producer has done it?”
Yang Long didn't speak and looked at Ye Ting.
Ye Ting is on behalf of the producer and must explain this issue.
She immediately took out two copies of the contract and said, "Director Lin, we have obtained the adaptation rights of the first three parts of "Resident Evil" and the first and fourth parts of "Alien". Other copyrights are still under further discussion. However, in terms of the content of the movie, the copyright of these five movies is actually enough."
Lin Chaoxian nodded. He also read the original book. He went through one movie after another to complete the task.
And the plot design is also perfect, which can be regarded as an independent story created on the basis of the original work.
"If the first filming, in fact, "Resident Evil 1" and "Alien 1" is enough!"
Lin Chaoxian said, "This is also suitable for the design of film language, but I want to know, do you want to shoot this whole book? That involves a lot of copyright!"
"of course!"
At this time, Yang Long said, "Relax Lin, you can rest assured that I have taken out a special fund of 400 million US dollars to purchase the copyright of these movies. It is really not enough. For the film company where the copyright is located, we have to find a way to solve it. And I’m going to invite Mila Jovovich, the heroine of the Resident Evil series, to make a guest appearance."
"what?"
Lin Chaoxian was surprised, but think about Yang Long all paying 400 million US dollars to buy the copyright, please Mila Jovovich, not a piece of cake?
In fact, this idea was also just created by Yang Long. Can you please say it another way? You have to slap Lin Chaoxian first.
Sure enough, Lin Chaoxian moved even more and nodded: "I don't hide it. I actually want to shoot science fiction movies, but I have no money and good projects. As long as there are no problems with copyright, I have no problem here!"
Yang Long smiled.
Ye Tingting immediately said: "Nalin guide, can you talk about compensation now? Last time I asked you, but you didn't give me the exact answer!"
"Ok……"
Lin Chaoxian looked at Hanbei next to him.
When it comes to talking about money, it is all from North Korea.
After receiving hints from Lin Chaoxian, Han Bei laughed and said: "Dong Yang, President Ye, the two should know that our filming style by Lin Dao, although not an international director, is also very successful in commercial genres. Last year, I won the Best Director and Best Film of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, and the Best Action Design of the Xianggang Hong Kong Awards, so it is also well-known in the action commercials."
Yang Long nodded, indeed.
At present, the only domestic filmmakers are commercial genre directors like Xu Zheng, Wu Jin, and Chen Sicheng. They have been actors for a long time. They can also grasp the core of the film and know how to please the audience. There is a guarantee, either good shooting or funny, although straightforward, but the box office is reliable.
Unlike some big-time directors, they always want to make some connotations, and they want to get out of the box office. The result is that they don’t understand the audience, they don’t understand the box office, and they complain that the junk movies are caused by junk audiences.
"Yes, you say a few!" Yang Long said simply to Hanbei.
Han Bei smiled: "Then Yang Dong, I will just say that, 20 million salary plus 8% of the box office share, or 10 million salary, 10% of the box office share!"
A 10% box office share is not too much for a director of Lin Chaoxian's level.
Yang Long could also accept it, so he nodded and said, "OK!"
"it is good!"
North Korea nodded and said, "Ten percent of the domestic box office is divided into the box office, and how much the overseas box office earns belongs to the producer. Yang Dong and President Ye, we have a happy cooperation!"
"Wait, I have another condition!"
Yang Long said with a smile, "Director Lin, you also know that I invested a lot of money in copyright, so this IP can never be done just by shooting one, so I hope to sign a contract with you for a series of movies. Seven, each one will give you a 10% box office share. The basic compensation will be counted before the start of each movie, how?"
Lin Chaoxian and Han Bei froze, and sat down again.
If this condition is added, it is equivalent to seven to ten years in the future. All his destiny will be linked to this series of movies.
Counting the money first, Lin Chaoxian silently calculated the book. Even if it was calculated according to the price of 30 million, he could get more than 200 million for seven movies.
Coupled with the box office split, the advantage of this series is that the more you come back, the more you will earn and sell.
Just like the "Resident Evil" series, the "Harry Potter" series, and even the cartoons like "Bear Infested".
If this solution is done now, it is equivalent to placing a bet for the next ten years.
Is it signed or not?
