Chapter 680: Box Office Share
On the plane back to the United States.
"$10 million! That's a lot!" Lisa was also surprised when she heard the number.
"This money is worth it! This book will far exceed everyone's imagination!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Lisa pouted. However, this does not mean that Time Warner agrees!
"If they had vision, they would agree!" Qin Feng said lightly.
After arriving in the United States, after taking a short rest, Qin Feng did not go directly to Time Warner, but found Tebupu.
"Haha, Qin, why are you here!" Seeing Qin Feng, he looked happy and gave a big hug.
"No, I want to have a meal with someone from Time Warner, I don't know what level you can help me get to Tang Nade?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"What are you looking for them? They're the media, you're doing this... Okay, you've done so much, but I haven't seen you in the media!"
"Can you make an appointment?" Qin Feng smiled and did not answer.
"No problem! you wait for me to call. He said with a smile.
He stepped aside and came back after making a phone call.
"Okay, no problem. Tomorrow night, eat at the Waldorf Astoria restaurant. They seem to have a meeting over there. "He said.
"Thank you!" Qin Feng said thankfully, "For the sake of your enthusiasm to help me, I will introduce you to a business." ”
"What business?"
Qin Feng raised the script in his hand.
"Let's go to my apartment and talk!" Qin Feng invited.
After the three of them returned to the room, Qin Feng gave the script to Te Wupu.
He is also a successful businessman, not only a real estate tycoon, but also an investor in many reality TV shows and a patron of beauty pageants across the United States.
Although I didn't invest in the film industry, I still have the vision I should have.
"It's a good script! It's a movie genre that doesn't exist on the market right now. This should be very suitable for young people to watch!" said Tebupu.
"That's what you're going to talk to Time Warner?"
"Well, I now own the rights to the Harry Potter film adaptation. Qin Feng said, "I want to talk to him." You also join in, and the two of us use the script as a stake to shoot "Harry Potter" and strive for box office dividends. ”
"And how much equity do you give me?" asked Tsebu.
"Half!" Qin Feng said generously.
"Half?" said he was surprised.
That's too generous, isn't it?
"What do I need to come out with?" asked Tebupu.
"Help me convince Time Warner that in addition to working with them, I need to buy the cable modem technology that they have. I talked to them before, and they asked for $100 million, which is too expensive. I only want the exclusive right to use the Huaxia District. Qin Feng said.
"You're doing this roundabout tactic. But okay, I'll try to convince them to help you!" he nodded.
For him, there are only good, no harm. At most, the cooperation failed, and he didn't have to pay anything for himself.
It's a good deal.
The next day, Qin Feng and the three met with Time Warner President Kevin in the restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
"Hey, Donnade, you're Jobs' daughter, Lisa! Your father, but one of the people I admire the most. How is Daddy doing?" Kevin saw Lisa, hesitated slightly, and recognized Lisa.
"It's still the same, working hard! It seems that there is nothing more important in this world except work!" Lisa complained slightly.
"Haha, Jobs is still Jobs. Kevin laughed, "But his aesthetic taste is admired by all of us, it's a pity that he doesn't engage in art!"
Lisa smiled. This evaluation has been known in many fields and from the mouths of different successful people. For example, a reporter asked Bill Gates what he would most like to choose if he was given a chance to choose one thing.
Bill Gates said that he hopes to have Jobs' unique aesthetics, and even let him exchange his wealth for it.
"Who is this young man?" Kevin looked at Qin Feng with a strange expression.
"That's the important person we're meeting today!" said Tewbu.
"He's my boyfriend and my father's biggest partner at the moment!" Lisa introduced Qin Feng and endorsed Qin Feng, telling Kevin Qin Feng's background.
Kevin looked surprised.
"Mr. Qin, I'm glad to be there, I don't know if there's anything I need help with?" Kevin asked with a smile.
Qin Feng smiled slightly.
It seems that today is off to a good start.
The four sat down.
Qin Feng took out the latest report on the best-selling list in the UK.
"Today's best-selling book in the UK is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, an autographed book by its original author. This is the exclusive film adaptation rights I got. This is the script I wrote with the original author!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "President Kevin can take a look at it first, and then we will talk!"
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!
Kevin was surprised, he had heard the book and knew that it was more popular. But not much attention. After all, not all bestsellers are suitable for adaptation.
At least for Time Warner, art films or anything, they don't pay attention. Commercial blockbusters will pay attention. Because making money is the only thing.
After taking a look at its leaderboard, Kevin turned his attention to the script.
After carefully reading the script, Kevin was moved.
The script is excellent, and the film has a lot of appealing elements. Enough to drain a very good movie. He believes that it should do well at the box office.
"I don't know Mr. Qin, how do you want to cooperate?" Kevin asked.
Qin Feng smiled.
"We invest in scripts, don't need any upfront investment, just box office dividends. Moreover, it's a ladder dividend!" Qin Feng said.
"Seems interesting, let's hear it!" Kevin smiled.
"The global box office, under $300 million, we don't want any dividends. If it exceeds $300 million, to $400 million, we only need 1% of the total box office dividends, if it exceeds 400 million box office, we only need 2%, and for every 100 million more box office in the future, we need 1% more. Qin Feng said.
"Very interesting!" Kevin smiled, this dividend is very interesting.
For this kind of film, the investment is normally between $50 million and $80 million. If it reaches 300 million at the box office, according to the market share, they can probably get about $140 million in box office share, and aside from the cost, according to the calculation of $80 million, they can still earn $60 million.
That's a very good return on investment. And before this, Qin Feng didn't have a share.
Before 400 million, according to 350 million US dollars, then their box office share can be between 100 million US dollars. Costs aside, that's basically 100% profit.
gave Qin Feng a 1% share of the total box office, but it was only $3.5 million.
That's interesting!
