Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Alan Ryder originally thought that Lin Daoqiu would reject Landry's proposal, but he did not expect that the other party would actually have this idea.

Fortunately, the final box office of "Mission: Impossible" has not been released yet, which is a very good time for Alan Ryder who wants to buy this movie.

"I am willing to pay 30 million to buy the copyright of your play."

At this time, the box office of "Mission: Impossible" has reached 75 million.

The price offered by Alan Ryder was based on the amount of money that Lin Daoqiu and the others could receive, and then deducted the production fee of the drama.

It seems that the price given by Alan Ryder is reasonable, but if Lin Daoqiu agrees, he will be a fool.

"Are Chairman Alan kidding me? Thirty million?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't even say a word of rejection, he just looked at the other person and smiled.

Although I don’t know who Fox will hire to star in this drama after buying it, but they probably won’t stop until they produce four or five movies.

According to this calculation, the North American box office of this drama alone can bring Fox at least 300 million in net income.

And that doesn’t include the money spent on global distribution, video tapes, and peripherals.

"If you want to buy it, you can, it's two hundred million dollars."

Alan Ryder couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard it. Even Landry next to him smiled bitterly and shook his head after hearing this.

They all felt that Lin Daoqiu was too crazy. How could he think that Fox would spend 200 million to buy the rights to his movie.

"The most I can offer you is fifty million U.S. dollars. Mr. Lin might want to consider my proposal carefully. It can be said that this amount of money is already quite large."

Alan Ryder was too lazy to continue talking to Lin Daoqiu. He felt that if he continued talking, he was worried that he would use foul language if he couldn't help it.

But it was obvious that Lin Daoqiu would not accept this price, so he shook his head without thinking.

"Lewan, help me take Mr. Lin out."

Alan Ryder asked Lewandowski to send the person away, and now he felt angry when he saw Lin Daoqiu.

He didn't know how to describe this young man, whether he was naive or confident.

I am afraid that no other Hollywood director or independent producer would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him, let alone the possibility of evenly splitting it.

He just saw that movies of the type "Mission: Impossible" were scarce at Fox, so he was willing to talk to Lin Daoqiu.

Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu might not even be able to enter Alan Ryder's office.

After Lewandowski sent Lin Daoqiu away, little Alan Ryder finally couldn't help but cursed.

"Fuck*, who does he think he is, and he wants to be even with me?"

It seemed that Alan Ryder was very angry. After all, he rarely encountered a guy like Lin Daoqiu who dared to open his mouth in front of him.

Landry was not surprised by this, he just felt very sorry.

Because if you buy the rights to "Mission: Impossible", you can make up for Fox's disadvantage in action movies.

It's a pity that Lin Daoqiu's attitude was too determined, and it was so determined that both Alan Ryder and Landry began to hate this person.

"Chairman, actually I think it's quite normal that he didn't agree. After all, he is only nineteen years old. Young people at this age are the most rebellious."

"A nineteen-year-old young man can make so many blockbuster movies. I don't think he looks like an ordinary young man."

Alan Ryder didn't seem to agree with Landry's words.

But speaking of it, Alan Ryder was quite interested in the suggestion Landry just made.

If the rights to "Mission: Impossible" can be bought, it will definitely be a very cost-effective deal for Fox.

"Do you think if I offer 100 million, he will agree to sell the copyright to us?"

After hearing Alan Ryder's question, Landry thought about it carefully and nodded.

He didn't believe that someone who could make so many movies was a fool. Selling the copyright of "Mission Impossible" for 100 million was definitely a huge profit for Lin Daoqiu.

Although this drama seems to be very profitable, who can guarantee that every subsequent one will be a hit?

So selling the copyright at a high price now is the most reasonable choice for Lin Daoqiu.

"Go talk to him in a few days and buy the copyright of "Mission Impossible" for 100 million."

Alan Ryder plans to use this money to fill Fox's weakness in action movies, so spending 100 million is definitely not a loss for him.

…………

"That guy Alan Ryder found Lin Daoqiu?"

Originally, this news should have been kept very confidential, but I don't know who revealed the news to Ashley.

Lin Daoqiu can now be said to be Warner's cash cow. If he is poached by Alan Ryder, it will be a huge loss for Warner.

"No, no, no, even Alan Ryder would never be willing to share half of the box office revenue with Lin Daoqiu."

He quickly calmed down his nervous emotions. The news was a bit too shocking for Ashley.

"Chairman, I think we should take the initiative and increase the profit share, otherwise I'm worried that Lin Daoqiu will really be poached by Alan Ryder."

It can be said that Richardson has great respect for Lin Daoqiu, and now facts have proved that his judgment is correct.

But it is basically impossible for Ashley to increase the box office share, because in addition to him, this matter also needs to be approved by the board of directors.

Given the character of those guys who regard wealth as their lives, let them share half of the box office revenue with a filmmaker from Hong Kong. It can be said that this matter does not even need to be discussed.

Even this time, 30% of the box office was given to the other party because this drama was invested and filmed by Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu.

And this was achieved because of the good relationship between Run Run Shaw and Warner for many years of cooperation.

"You don't know that the people on the board of directors will firmly oppose it to the end even if I agree, so there is no need to even mention this matter."

Richardson was speechless when he heard this, because he could tell that he already knew very well what those directors were like.

Even the few directors who support him now, once their interests are touched, these people will definitely come out to oppose it like crazy.

"I'm worried that if this continues, the sequel to Mission: Impossible will be distributed by Fox."

Richardson's words sound a bit pessimistic, but judging from the current trend, there is a high chance that what he said will come true.

Of course Ashley knows this, but he doesn't have any good solution now.

But at this moment, Richardson's eyes suddenly lit up, and it seemed like he had thought of some solution.

"Chairman, since this drama is so popular, why don't we just buy the copyright?"

While Ashley was still thinking, Richardson's proposal made him open his eyes wide.
