Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

At that time, over a period of two decades, it included the total box office of eight film works, DVD sales, peripheral products, theme parks, and other forms of commercial output.

The total value is up to $25 billion.

This is definitely not a small number.

Kevin vaguely remembers that Disney bought a large media conglomerate for $73.1 billion, including all of the company's properties.

Even TV stations have it.

In other words, a Harry Potter created one-third of the value of a large capital giant.

I can buy six or seven leading Hollywood film companies.

Although Harry Potter's potential is not as great as Marvel's, it is also a gold mine that crushes any other movie IP except Marvel.

Because Kevin did not look carefully, for fear of errors with the memory of his previous life.

After spending two hours carefully reading the entire content of the novel, Kevin was sure in his heart that this was the Harry Potter novel in his previous life.

Although there are certain discrepancies with the movie, or he has never read the novel.

But the general content is consistent, and it does not produce too much error with the plot of the movie, which is normal.

The content of the novel will only be richer than the movie, after all, the movie is so long, there are always trade-offs.

Determine the big frame, or after that magical magical world.

Kevin raised his head, looked at Late and ordered:

"You and Dawson say, call five million dollars from the Morning Light movie, publish it directly at your own expense, and print 100,000 copies first."

"This..."

LTECH was a little hesitant, this operation was the first time he had seen it, as if Kevin knew that this novel would be 100% fired.

Generally, a novel will first look for a publisher and then sign a publishing contract.

The text rights of the novel are licensed to the publisher, who decides how much to print, and then the author receives a sales share ranging from 1% to 15% or even higher depending on his fame, the quality of the work, and so on.

Kevin: This is equivalent to grabbing all the copyrights themselves, spending money to borrow the publisher's channels.

In this way, the loss of five million dollars is also very fast.

One hundred thousand books, the cost of printing alone is two million dollars, and after the fees paid to publishers, five million dollars is basically not much.

Of course, if they can be sold, then MGM will definitely not lose money, and will probably make ten million dollars.

However, whether a novel can sell well, no one can say.

Ret's hesitation, Kevin looked in his eyes.

But he didn't have the heart to explain it to anyone, and he couldn't explain it.

Can he say that he decided to do so because he knew the value of the novel in the future?

Kevin said in a firm tone:

"Renther, believe me, this will be a novel that can create sales miracles."

As for why take money from the Sunrise movie.

It can only be said that the copyright of Harry Potter, Kevin is also ready to put in the morning light.

In this way, as long as the morning sun is not listed, the initiative will always be in his hands.

Reiter finally nodded.

Money, morning light out.

Even if they MGM use their connections to help run errands, when the movie is released, they will earn a lot of money from MGM.

Kevin said that at that time, Harry Potter, the investor is composed of MGM and Sunrise Films, each accounting for half of the share.

Subsequent income is also divided equally, but the copyright belongs to Dawn.

For this, Reiter is also easy to understand.

It is nothing more than a matter of control of the company, which is not much to say.

As long as MGM actually makes money.

Reiter swallowed everything he wanted to say, once again chose to believe Kevin's eclectic behavior, and then picked up the manuscript and prepared to go to the publisher.

Kevin suddenly thought of something and quickly called out to stop Ret.

"By the way, Layter, when negotiating with a publisher, change the title of the book, and it will be called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

Ray nodded and turned away.

Kevin smiled with satisfaction, there are many people under him, he just needs to grasp the direction, do things specifically, and arrange it.

This is the feeling of being a boss, which boss does things by himself all day, that is not tired to death.

Don't listen to the bosses of poisonous chicken soup are 007.

Kevin also worked as a boss in his previous life, waking up at six in the morning, exercising for two hours, then going to breakfast, going to the company for two laps, and then finding friends to play mahjong until late at night.

Although I only sleep a few hours a day, I am really not tired at all, and I am completely different from 997 as a worker.

If someone really believes the boss's words, they are either fools or the same self-framed bosses.

····

Retray was fierce, and when he went out, he found the Harlem Publishing House in Los Angeles, which he had already contacted.

The positioning of Harry Potter is very clear, that is, children under the age of fifteen.

Therefore, the Harlem publishing house he was looking for was also a publishing house that focused on publishing children's books, and the target audience was these children.

At this time, inside the office of the editor-in-chief of Harlem Press.

After listening to Retter's words, Harlem dissuaded:

"Ret, you don't need to come up and print so much, prepare two thousand copies first, and you can see the potential of this novel."

"If it can indeed sell well, we are in no hurry to expand the print volume."

LTECH shook his head and said

, "There is no need, just print 100,000 copies, and we will continue to increase the number of prints depending on the situation."

The editor-in-chief of Haring frowned and said

, "In this way, if the sales are not good, millions of dollars will be lost."

"It's okay, we will bear the loss, this is what the boss said."

Retter's words were all said for the sake of this, and he had nothing to persuade.

This kind of self-funded publishing, and such a large print volume, for them, is to send money.

You don't have to take any risks and earn flying.

If it weren't for the fact that he was just the editor-in-chief and not the boss, he wouldn't necessarily have said the previous few words.

"Okay, the specific typography, illustrations, leave it to us."

Two or three million dollars more, naturally, is not for nothing, except for operating expenses, these things are included.

As an experienced children's book publisher, they can grasp the readers' preferences from all angles to the greatest extent, with appropriate illustrations and layout.

Ray nodded, and after discussing the specific details with Harlem's editor-in-chief, he signed the contract and handed him the manuscript.

At the same time, Reiter is also contacting other channels for other levels of marketing of Harry Potter.

Kevin commanded that from the beginning, regardless of success, push Harry Potter to the top of the best-selling list of American books.

For Kevin's instructions, LTECH did everything.
