Resource Tycoon Reborn

Ismael Howard Thompson is still Feng Yuan who came with his beautiful granddaughter Elizabeth. Compared with Warner Bros. Entertainment, Paramount Pictures is much happier. Not only Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures itself will withdraw from the HDVD camp, and its subsidiaries will also withdraw. Of course, Paramount Pictures has also received more favorable cooperation conditions than Warner Bros. Entertainment.

Paramount Pictures can account for 25% of the total investment in the "Transformers" trilogy. Although it does not own the copyright, it can get 30% of the profits. But there is one thing

Thompson was very dissatisfied with the terms, but with Fang Mingyuan's insistence, he still had to agree.

"Fang, if Paramount Pictures withdraws from the HDVD camp, it will lose nearly 200 million US dollars in revenue and bear the notoriety of breaking the contract!" Thompson put down the cigar in his hand and said with a bit of dissatisfaction. According to the contract, Paramount

The film company can only share the portion of the global box office of the "Transformers" movie trilogy within US$1.5 billion. Once the global box office exceeds US$1.5 billion, the excess will be owned by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company.

Neither Paramount Pictures nor Warner Bros. Entertainment has the right to share.

"One hundred and sixty million U.S. dollars, two years of HDVD exclusivity, and Toshiba will pay part of it in cash and future earnings, right?" Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "We all know how much Paramount Pictures has lost.

.As for the profits that Paramount Pictures will get from joining "Transformers", I think you can also have an estimate in your mind. If Paramount Pictures thinks it is not worth it, then I will give it to Paramount Pictures.

Paramount Pictures has received US$200 million from "Transformers", and all proceeds from Paramount Pictures' "Transformers" belong to Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. How about that?" Thompson looked at Fang Mingyuan in astonishment, but this expression was just a look.

It's fleeting. Even if someone sees it, they will definitely wonder if they are temporarily dazzled.

Thompson didn't speak, but Elizabeth, who was sitting next to him, felt her grandfather's body tense up, which showed that his mood was fluctuating. She glanced at Thompson calmly, then stood up proactively and stood up for Fang Mingyuan and Thompson.

Some more tea was added to the tea cup to block Fang Mingyuan's sight.

Thompson's thoughts were spinning. From Fang Mingyuan's answer, he could clearly feel that Fang Mingyuan's attitude on this matter was tougher than before. Could it be said that the compensation given to him by the Blue Light camp could be greater than 200 million US dollars?

?In which case, why would Sony need to convince itself through Fang Mingyuan? In fact, how could he understand that if it were not for the technical authorization of the Blu-ray standard, or for its own companies to be able to follow the technological advancement of the world after the gradual decline of DVD?

Fang Mingyuan would not be interested in cooperating with Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Entertainment to ease the hostility of other established Hollywood film companies towards Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and divide their camps.

Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Entertainment are cooperating. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group now has many partners to choose from. Choosing Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Entertainment still requires a lot of effort and negotiation.

Other companies explain.

Especially when Fang Mingyuan learned that Time Warner Group actually intended to sell Warner Music Group. A lot of his energy was attracted by this matter, and naturally he lacked the patience to communicate with Paramount Pictures. Anyway.

Fang Mingyuan is confident that he can make enough profits from the "Transformers" trilogy. This naturally makes Fang Mingyuan's attitude toughen.

Although Thompson didn't know why Fang Mingyuan's attitude was so tough, he also understood that he could not continue to ask for greater benefits in this matter, otherwise it would very likely trigger a strong rebound from Fang Mingyuan.

Thompson doesn't want his cooperation with Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group to be a one-and-done deal and become strangers or even pure rivals in the future. Moreover, from the perspective of Viacom Group, the parent company of Paramount Pictures,

I also hope to establish a good relationship with Fang Mingyuan, thereby laying a good foundation for entering the Chinese market in the future.

Thompson's attitude softened, Fang Mingyuan naturally would not push him too hard, and the two parties successfully reached an agreement.

Thompson will naturally not leave Fengyuan immediately. From both a personal and company perspective, he needs to further close the relationship with Fang Mingyuan. Therefore, the best reason is naturally to appreciate the charming scenery of Fengyuan and Tongyi.

And they and Mbah a Moute are undoubtedly good traveling companions.

On December 7, Toyoda Jinan came to visit Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group. Neither of them had anything to do with the automobile industry, so they naturally had no interest in participating. They simply asked someone to arrange a few cars, and the two of them went to Tongzhou together.

should.

"Fang has placed high box office expectations on the "Transformers" trilogy this time." Thompson said that the total global box office of the three movies will reach more than 1.5 billion US dollars, and the average box office of each movie will reach 5.

billion US dollars, and the scheduled total investment must be within US$400 million. It has to be said that this standard is quite high in Hollywood. Although, judging from the past performance of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, this standard is not

High, but "Transformers" is adapted from animation after all, and Thompson still has certain reservations about its profitability.

"The global box office of US$1.5 billion may be broken by one movie. The box office of the next two movies will have nothing to do with our two companies." Bamot said softly, "Chairman Thompson, don't ignore it.

There is an eight-year-old boy in every man's heart! And we are a country on wheels!" The popularity of "Transformers" in the United States and even around the world also had its practical factors. In those countries where cars were popularized

In a country of families, no one can count how many children hope that their car can be a majestic Autobot. But now, the generation that watched the "Transformers" cartoon has now become

It has become the backbone of society and the main consumer group. Therefore, Mbah a Moute is very optimistic about the global box office of "Transformers". Maybe it will not be able to break "Terminator", "Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean"

and "Titanic" record, but it will never stop easily after 1.5 billion US dollars.

"The Japanese are also aware of this, so why is Toyota Motor Corporation so proactive?" Thompson couldn't help but said with a slightly moved face. He didn't think as thoroughly as Mbah a Moute.

"Well, Japan is a major car manufacturing country, and its car ownership is also very impressive. They also always like this kind of humanoid robot toys, so Toyota is definitely very optimistic about the future of "Transformers" and wants to borrow it.

This is an opportunity to advertise your own products." Bamot sneered.

Thompson nodded slightly and glanced at Bamot with the corner of his eye. In fact, he had secretly passed the news to General Motors in the United States last night. He believed that Bamot and the others would not miss this sale.

A good opportunity for favor. Unfortunately, although Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Entertainment will also be investors in "Transformers", they do not have much decision-making power, and they will not easily intervene - from the Emerald Bird

Film Group and other Hollywood film companies that have cooperated with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, they learned that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is actually Fang Mingyuan, and in many aspects he does not like others to dictate. Otherwise.

If so, they can secretly obtain a lot of benefits from General Motors. General Motors' position in the international automobile industry is not so stable. It is always challenged by Japanese automobile companies, as well as European automobiles.

The company has always been dishonest. It is impossible for General Motors' management not to see the beauty of this opportunity to advertise on the big screen.

"I heard that the "Transformers" trilogy will be shot in three consecutive films?" Thompson asked, "Do you know who will be the producer or director?"

"I'm afraid only that one knows who the producer and director are now. However, the method of shooting three films in a row is basically confirmed." Bamot said, with a look of admiration and envy on his face.

Come on. In Hollywood, although there are many sequel movies, there are very few sequels that have been filmed from the beginning. Most of them will only put the sequel on the agenda after making sure that the box office results of the first episode are good. Like Fang Mingyuan.

, those who don’t care at all about the box office results of the first episode cannot be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, that is very rare. If it were other Hollywood film companies, if they did this, I am afraid they would have been criticized by the media.

However, if it is the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, this may not be the case - the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company has many successful precedents that prove Fang Mingyuan's vision. In this way, the voice of doubt will be much lower.

.

The continuous shooting of three movies will also bring many benefits. First of all, the shooting cost will be significantly reduced. Secondly, the release time of the movie will be shorter, which will be welcomed by movie fans. Thirdly, it will show to movie fans that we are committed to new movies.

Confidence in quality. This will undoubtedly arouse the curiosity of more movie fans, thereby helping to attract more people to the cinema. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
