Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 164 20 million U.S. dollars in copyright fees!

"Twelve million dollars!"

"Ten million dollars!"

Jiang Zhiqiang's words seemed to give two choices, but the determination in his words was unquestionable.

It's like, he gives two choices, and you can only choose one of them.

Chen Yu was stunned and did not answer, but looked at Director Han and Fang Ziheng.

At this time, wingman Wang Zhongjun took action again. He flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, 12 million U.S. dollars is too insincere."

"Director Feng's "The Night Banquet" sold all overseas copyrights for US$17 million. With the effect and quality of "Four Famous Catchers", the price of "The Night Banquet" must be at least doubled!"

double!

$34 million!

Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes widened and he almost choked to death from Wang Zhongjun!

You really can speak out!

The North American rights to "Heroes" were sold for only $23 million, and the global rights were just over $30 million.

"The King of Kung Fu" is so awesome. The overseas full copyright is the highest among all Chinese-language films. It only sold 31 million US dollars in North America and Asia, which is still 3 million US dollars away from 34 million!

If you, the King of Kings, twist your mouth, the price will double. Why don't you go to heaven!

Others don’t know it, but Jiang Zhiqiang knows it very well!

At that time, under the mediation of Chen Guofu, Columbia bought the full copyright of "The Banquet" at a high price of 17 million US dollars, trying to copy the glory of "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" and make a lot of money.

As a result, Colombia swallowed the poison pill and lost all its money. From then on, it no longer dared to buy the copyrights of Chinese costume films.

Less than two months later, Chen Guofu joined Huayi as the director of the film production department.

If you say that there is nothing famous in this, you won’t even believe it!

The corners of Jiang Zhiqiang's mouth twitched and he was too lazy to talk to Wang Zhongjun. He turned to Fang Ziheng and said, "Director Fang, "Four Famous Catchers" is indeed good-looking. I agree with this, but we have to consider the actual situation.

In recent years, costume blockbusters have been blocked overseas. The price of 12 million U.S. dollars may have been a bit low five or six years ago, but now... "

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't finish his words, but everyone could tell what he meant.

It's useless no matter how good your movie is, it can't stand up to the poisonous pit dug by the previous costume movies!

Fang Ziheng sat still, with the smile still on his face, but in his heart he cursed Chen Daren and Feng Pants again!

Nima

After all, we, the latecomers, will bear the consequences of what you two bastards have done!

After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative.

Wang Zhongjun is also a fool. There is nothing wrong with mentioning "The Night Banquet".

It can't be delayed any longer.

After procrastinating for a while, he was worried that someone would pick up "The Promise".

"Director Jiang, Mr. Deng, the price of 12 million is indeed too low."

Fang Ziheng knocked on the table with his knuckles and took the lead in expressing his attitude, telling the two that it was impossible to obtain the full overseas copyright at this price.

Immediately, he changed the topic: "I believe you two have also seen it in the movie. The emperor ordered the six gates to wipe out the Blood Moon God Sect, and Luanfeng Pavilion watched from the sidelines. The end of the movie left me with a strong suspense!"

"What do Director Fang mean?" Deng Wendi smiled slightly and spoke for the first time.

She is the final decision-maker for today's transaction, and she also decides the final price.

Fang Ziheng's eyes were dim and he said calmly: "I might as well tell you two that Hengyu Media has obtained all the film copyrights of "The Four Famous Catchers" and has independent adaptation rights for fifty years!"

"I also created the general plot of the second part of "Four Famous Catchers"!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved.

real or fake?

The first movie hasn't even been released yet, but the second script has been released!

Jiang Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Fang Ziheng didn't give him a chance and continued: "What Mr. Wang just said is right. It is necessary to double the price."

"One price, full overseas rights, US$24 million!"

"North American copyright, $20 million!"

In the last two sentences, his voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard.

call.

The conference room fell silent except for the sound of burning cigarettes.

Jiang Zhiqiang frowned and stared at Fang Ziheng, trying to see into his heart.

Fang Ziheng's eyes were calm, with a soft smile on his face, and he looked at him with a cigarette between his fingers.

After watching for a while, Jiang Zhiqiang didn't get any information, so he secretly called him "little fox" and turned to discuss with Deng Wendi.

"Mr. Deng, my suggestion is to buy the North American copyright. This will make the operation much easier and the publicity and distribution resources can be centralized."

"No, if you want to buy it, buy the full copyright!"

Deng Wendi waved his hand to stop Jiang Zhiqiang's suggestion.

From her point of view, a North American copyright is far from enough, so what if she can make a fortune.

Comparing the two, the difference is only 4 million US dollars, so nothing!

What she, Deng Wendi, wanted was never short-term gain.

Of course, she wouldn't let Fang Ziheng quote him and be taken advantage of!

"Director Han, Director Fang, I like to do business cheerfully. Since this is a quotation, you two should also listen to the price I quoted!"

Deng Wendi's eyes flashed, he stretched out two fingers, made a sign of 1, and then made a sign of 8, and chuckled: "Full overseas copyright, 18 million U.S. dollars!"

After saying that, she picked up the lady's cigarette, took a puff, and blew out the light smoke towards Dong Han.

grass!

here we go again!

Chen Yu tilted his head slightly and looked out the window.

Wang Zhongjun looked up at the ceiling, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Dong Han, the old man, took off his glasses and refused to follow this trick, silently thinking about Deng Wendi's quotation.

Fang Ziheng was also thinking about it. Of course he would not think that Deng Wendi was tempting Director Han, it was just a negotiation strategy.

They are all vixens on the top of the mountain, no one knows who is who!

Thirty seconds later!

Director Han smiled and used a quick turn: "Mr. Deng, Director Fang is the largest investor in "Four Famous Catchers" and is also the director, screenwriter, and one of the starring actors in the film. His decision is my decision!"

Deng Wendi's eyes lit up instantly.

She understood what Director Han meant!

$18 million is negotiable!

Fang Ziheng also received the meaning conveyed by Director Han. The bottom line is 18 million U.S. dollars. It is up to him to decide how much he can negotiate.

He made another offer, his tone much firmer than before.

"$20 million!"

"If Mr. Deng agrees, I can give 20th Century Fox the right of first refusal for the second part of "The Big Four" at the same price!"

"make a deal!"

Deng Wendi slapped the table and stood up from his seat.

This is what she was waiting for!

The difference of several million dollars is really nothing to her as the vice president of 20th Century Fox.

What she really wants is a stable and long-term cooperative relationship to introduce high-quality movies from the country, accumulate chips for her at Fox Film Company, stabilize the position of vice president, and even go further.

Immediately, Director Han asked someone to send the contract, and both parties signed an agreement to purchase the copyright!

All overseas copyrights of "The Big Four" except Southeast Asia were sold to the Hollywood giant 20th Century Fox Film Company for US$20 million.

"Director Han, Director Fang, happy cooperation!"

“Happy to work with!”

After signing the contract, Deng Wendi and Jiang Zhiqiang did not stay long, and left China Film Group after a few pleasantries.

Before leaving, Deng Wendi made an additional request. After the film is released in North America, the main actors are obliged to travel to the other side of the ocean to promote the film.

Fang Ziheng readily agreed, as this was what he meant.

They spent 20 million US dollars, a total of 136 million soft girl coins, to invite the main actors to participate in the promotion, which is not excessive at all.

After the two left, Song Dai, who had been watching the show, clapped his hands and sighed happily.

"20 million U.S. dollars, this is the first time since "The Promise" that a domestic film has sold such a high price for copyright fees."

"Yes, Director Fang, if this news is revealed, the entertainment industry will be completely shaken, and the trend of costume blockbusters will once again be launched!"

Chen Yu also clapped his hands to congratulate him, very excited.

Although China Film cannot be assigned full overseas copyrights, as a leading film company, as a state-owned enterprise, and as one of the producers and producers of "The Big Four", China Film will naturally take a share of the credit for selling the film at a good price.

Director Han nodded with a smile and looked at Fang Ziheng with satisfaction: "Director Fang, if we can really open up the overseas market for period films again, you will be indispensable!"

"You three, stop praising me, I will be proud!"

"Ha ha.."

There was laughter and laughter in the conference room. Wang Zhongjun gave Fang Ziheng a hat while thinking about what Chen Yu just said.

If the copyright price is disclosed, Huayi's market value will definitely increase.

The more it rises, the greater his gains as the chairman will be!

So much money!

Wang Zhongjun was so happy that he looked at Fang Ziheng with stars in his eyes.

He now wished he could kidnap Fang Ziheng back to Huayi, feed him good food and drink every day, and tinker with the script of "Four Famous Catchers 2" as soon as possible.

Of course, he could only think that with China Film and Director Han protecting him, he would not dare to disturb Fang Ziheng's attention.

If he really messes up, Hua Yi will not be able to eat any meat.

After the laughter, the conversational session continued.

This time, everyone is ready!

The Southeast Asian copyright of "The Big Four", or the publicity and distribution ratio, involves the vital interests of the five people here.

Song Dynasty increased the price to 50 million soft sister coins, but Fang Ziheng still refused.
