Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Insufficient information is a taboo in negotiations.

After Quincy returned to the hotel, he immediately asked his subordinates to collect all the news about Tianman.

Thanks to Tianman's recent publicity, their collection work went smoothly.

Then they were terrified.

At the beginning of the negotiation, He Chen's youthful appearance made them think that he was a rich second generation, so psychologically Quincy had a slight contempt for He Chen.

But judging from the information collected now, they found that they were completely wrong.

Just two years ago, this was a child from an ordinary family who had just taken the college entrance examination and had accumulated savings of less than one million yuan.

Then he started from scratch, created comics, and established Dmfun, a game adapted from his comics, which became popular all over the country, and now it has spread to neighboring countries.

He has revitalized hundreds of industrial markets by himself, and his status in China seems to be comparable to that of Yi Tianxing. Although he is a foreigner, he is very familiar with China and some celebrities, especially Yi Tianxing. Celebrities with countless copyrights are their focus.

The experience of the "rich second generation" in their eyes is enough to make an inspirational movie... It seems that it is a bit wrong to say an inspirational movie, because if they don't see the news with their own eyes, they are afraid that their inspirational documentary will be regarded as a nonsense commercial film.

Afterwards, Quincy and others walked into the world of comics. He wanted to know if He Chen was just talking about fooling himself, or if he really had countless copyrights better than "The Grudge".

He Chen and the others continued to have a meeting, discussing how much money is appropriate for this slaughter.

Although He Chen looked extremely calm on the surface, they were very short of money now, and there was only one film company in North America who was interested and offered himself to them. Based on the principle of being too lazy to go on business, He Chen decided to slaughter Universal Cinema as much as possible.

fortunately. Tianman's lack of money, apart from Tianman, even Shengshi and Tianying Studio, who are closely cooperating, don't know about it. He Chen can only make a high profile in Quincy's slow front.

"Slaughtering is a science. It must not only be ruthless, but also be slaughtered willingly. The highest state is to make him feel that he has taken advantage of this time after being slaughtered, and he will send himself over next time. Let's slaughter!" He Chen said seriously.

"Overseas copyright, I have never been in touch! The domestic population is much larger than that of North America, but the box office is much smaller than that of North America.

If calculated by domestic standards. We must be at a loss! "Zhou Zhe said.

"Well! It's three million for Tianying Studio, so let's give three million to Universal Cinemas, US dollars!" Zhuang Bufan said excitedly. Three million US dollars, converted into Huaxia currency at the current exchange rate, is nearly 20 million!

Director Yao, who was a specially invited consultant, was present at the meeting and said with contempt to Zhuang Bufan: "Look at you, you are only so promising. Do you think three million is a lot? For Hollywood, this kind of film with a very high return rate, even if it is The copyright fee for a flop movie is the same as Bai Jian! Believe it or not, you can tell him three million dollars now, and I can guarantee that he will sign a contract with you immediately."

"Yao Dao, then you can give me some advice. After the matter is done, your benefits will be indispensable."

"Really? Well. You should come this way..."

...

The next day, He Chen was going to continue talking with Quincy and the others, but Quincy apologized to He Chen with a pair of dark circles under his eyes: "Mr. Hey, I'm very sorry, can you wait a few more days?"

This kind of reaction made He Chen puzzled, but it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days. After He Chen agreed, he asked Zhou Zhe, "You didn't ask them to do health care last night, did you?"

Zhou Zhe waved his hands hastily: "Absolutely not! Finally, I asked Fatty Zhuang's girlfriend's roommate's relative's cousin to introduce me to a girl I like. I will go to that kind of place. Isn't it courting death?"

"Oh! How did you abandon me!"

"Hundan! You are the ones who abandoned me! If I don't work harder on my own, do you think I will die alone?"

"Then you can also introduce me."

"I don't want to die."

After all, Quincy is an executive of Universal Cinemas, not a dead man. After getting serious, he finally found out. It was a super huge gold mine before my eyes!

So he immediately fed back the matter of the comics to Universal Cinemas, asked professionals in the company to evaluate whether the comics are adaptable, and its potential value, and at the same time applied for financial support from the senior management - he felt that the investment authority he could use now was not enough. up.

It wasn't until five days later that Quincy approached He Chen again, and now his attitude was finally better, making He Chen a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. He, I have to say, you are the most talented person I have ever met!" Quincy flattered He Chen as soon as he arrived.

He Chen was indifferent: "You don't compromise on flattery, should you be more sincere now?"

Quincy didn't care about He Chen's irony, and said with a smile: "Manga is really a good thing. It is a completely different enjoyment from reading books and watching movies. I admire your vast and magnificent thinking like the starry sky. For "Curse" Complaint”, we are willing to invest four million dollars!”

It has increased by eight times at once, and it seems to be full of sincerity, but in He Chen's eyes, this is not enough!

"Only this?" He Chen asked.

Quincy asked his assistant to take out a piece of A4 paper, looked at the content recorded on it and said: "The adaptation rights of "Doraemon" are five million US dollars, the adaptation rights of "Mobile Suit Gundam" are three million US dollars, and the adaptation rights of "EVA" Three million U.S. dollars, eight million U.S. dollars for the adaptation rights of "Dragon Ball", and one million U.S. dollars for "9999 Ways to Die a Porter."

What Quincy values ​​more is the potential of adapting movies. Although "Pokemon", "Digimon" and "Conan" are extremely popular on Dmfun, after the evaluation of the director and screenwriter, the film market potential in the West is limited. .

Universal Cinema's appetite is really big, almost all the animations that He Chen thinks have the potential to be adapted into movies, even the "Mobile Suit Gundam" Gundam, which has not been serialized for a long time.

But "The Grudge" has only one story, which can sell four million copyrights, and there are so many other stories, if He Chen agreed, wouldn't it be a big loss?

So He Chen stopped talking nonsense. Tell Quincy directly about the terms that the drug director negotiated with him: "I want 10% of your film's net profit as the adaptation fee."

He Chen's comics have many, many stories, which means they can be published in series. If it's a one-time buyout, then the future sequels will have nothing to do with He Chen. But if it is this kind of sharing, although there are certain risks to bear, as long as there is a sequel. Then there is money to take.

"WTF!" Quincy couldn't help but swear, the movie box office is divided into several parties, and the theaters usually get the bulk of it, and only half of it falls into the hands of the producers. After deducting the cost . Let He Chen take another 10%, then they can make a dime for making movies!

Although Universal Cinemas has a big business, the producers and theaters can be monopolized by themselves to maximize profits. But He Chen only gave them the copyright, and didn't do anything himself, just trying to get 10% for nothing. Quincy dared to promise that instead of tomorrow, he would be fired in ten minutes.

"He Chen! Are you joking? You must be joking! But now we are talking about business, please don't bring the humor you showed in comics to the negotiating table, it will be very unpleasant!" Quincy Shen Said loudly.

Seeing Quincy's reaction, He Chen knew that his asking price had exceeded their bottom line. But as the saying goes, ask for a lot of money, and pay back the money on the spot. Do not set the starting point a little higher. How can you bargain?

The other party always insisted on buying out at a one-off price, but He Chen knew very well the value of the series in those works, how could it be as they wished? So also bite the profit sharing.

After Zhou Zhe and Quincy's boring, haggling haggling made He Chen sleepy.

In the end, after Quincy gave feedback to Universal Cinemas and obtained the authorization, he signed a profit sharing contract with He Chen and the others, but it was reduced from 10% to 3.5%.

Judging by the standards of the drug-guided version of "The Grudge", the box office was 200 million, and Tianying Studio divided it into 100 million, of which 10 million cost. He Chen divided the 90 million into 3.5%, and finally got 3.15 million.

It can be a little higher than He Chen's psychological minimum. The most important thing is that no matter how many series they film, He Chen will get a share!

The more you shoot. The greater He Chen's profit. And He Chen believed that with Hollywood's super skills, as long as the series of movies can still make money, they will never stop. So in general, this is very cost-effective for He Chen.

In terms of copyright, He Chen only sold the copyrights of "The Grudge", "Nobita's Dinosaur" and "9999 Ways to Die a Porter". I think the Hollywood version of "Dragon Ball" almost blinded him with titanium alloy eyes. "Connotation films also have the potential to be transformed into "Pacific Rim" commercial films.

Therefore, although Universal Cinema very much hopes to get other adaptations now, He Chen still refuses to ensure the quality. However, He Chen promised that if He Chen wanted to sell overseas adaptation rights and their other works were well shot, He Chen would give priority to Universal Cinema.

"Mr. Hey, happy cooperation!"

"There is cooperation, not happy. Universal Cinema Hollywood is so stingy!"

"..."

"You like "Nobita's Dinosaur", probably because you want to shoot dinosaurs? For example, use dinosaur eggs and time baggage to resurrect dinosaurs, and then build a dinosaur park on a small island, and then there are tourists and out-of-control dinosaurs. See, the story of the battle of wits and courage..."

"how do you know!"

"Don't you just like to change other people's stories in a mess? How can dinosaurs be so cruel without blood and stumps dancing with them? But it doesn't matter, I just ask you when the movie comes out, don't call it "Nobita" The Dinosaur" will do."

"...As expected of a master who has created so many wonderful stories."

"The 9,999 Ways to Die a Porter must be a story about someone who escapes from an accident and ends up dying in all sorts of random accidents, right?"

"...No, our original plan was to extract those weird ways of death and make it into a low-cost movie, but the one you mentioned seems to be better! Thank you for your suggestion, I will pass your The original words were faithfully relayed to our screenwriter and director!"
