Think about it.

Four-wheel drive, isn't it like Transformers?

The scale of the cultural derivative industry is huge, the investment is small and the return is high, but the profit cycle is too long.

Such as Transformers, Iron Man, etc., can make money by selling toys to the outside world, more people buy them, more people influence them, and in the future, they will have a wide market base for animation and movies, and the two will influence each other.

It can not only satisfy your own interests, but also earn money, what a great business.

Looking at it this way, Han Chudong has become a little interested in Hollywood, he has watched a lot of low-cost and high-box office movies, and he still remembers the main plot, but he can't figure out whether the current fans will eat it or not.

Thomas loves what he does and is interested in animation.

As a fan of Marvel Comics, I had a good relationship with Matthew Russell, the head of Marvel Burbank, at a party early on, and the two had a very good relationship.

This time, I just needed help, so I simply found Mr. Matthew Russell to match him with Han Chudong and discuss the possibility of cooperating in customizing and publishing a new comic.

Don't think about how high-end Marvel Comics are now.

The market value is not much, and he has successfully created several characters, such as Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, etc., but he is only famous in a small circle.

After helping to introduce each other, they found a small lounge dedicated to talking about business.

Han Chudong always couldn't help but connect with the cool Marvel in the future from this Marvel comics, and finally stabilized his thoughts, began to talk to Mr. Russell about his needs, and told him the general creative ideas.

Someone in Marvel has channels, but Han Chudong just has money, and the two sides hit it off.

There is a precedent for the company to customize comics for other people, and the opportunity to make money is in front of them, so why miss it in vain, now Marvel Comics' performance is not very good, and it is all supported by selling comics.

Mr. Matthew Russell listened to Han Chudong's words, and nodded seriously with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"We can definitely make you satisfied, after writing the anime script and designing the characters, we will let you review it and make sure that there is no problem before starting to create.

The comic on one side is about twenty pages long, and it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare and finish, plus you can customize the ad to your needs. You're a friend of Thomas, that's my new friend, and the price is absolutely fair, and I'll have to ask the New York headquarters to give you an accurate answer. ”

"Thank you very much...... But if I choose to cooperate with you, how will the fees be charged? How will the money earned from selling comics be distributed?" Han Chudong is more concerned about this issue, and the copyright has been negotiated, which is considered a buyout customization, and it is not owned by Marvel.

This type of customization business is rare, and Mr. Russell thought for a moment and replied, "What do you think, that we charge a certain amount of creative fees for each published volume, and if you are responsible for the printing costs, we will only charge half of the sales profits as a distribution fee." ”

Han Chudong felt that this was not good.

After calculating, I found that I paid for the creation cost and the printing fee, and Marvel Comics was only responsible for selling, but I had to charge 50% of the profits?

It means that no risk is taken, and the white wolf with empty gloves makes money from it.

It's not even clear how much the so-called single book creation fee is, so it's a bit early to talk about the split. Han Chudong also knows that there are requests for people now, if you don't make money, then why should this company help with customization.

What he values most is to sell more toy racing cars at a high price, and it's hard to say whether he can make money by publishing comics.

Therefore, although I feel that I have suffered a loss, I don't really care about it, and I can't ask others to help customize the comics, and let others bear the risk of loss.

"Mr. Russell, please ask the head office first what the price of the single copy is, and the rest of the details will be discussed when the time comes, okay?"

"Okay, Thomas, lend me a phone, I'll have to negotiate the cost of customization with my boss. ”

Thomas didn't help either side, and didn't interject the whole time.

It was only at this time that he led Russell to his office to borrow a phone, and motioned to Han Chudong with his eyes, probably saying that he would help lower the price.

Without the ability to see through other people's minds, Han Chudong didn't know if Thomas meant this.

Anyway, if you feel that the price is high, just give it up, and you are most afraid of taking too much care of face when talking about business, so you must put your interests first and pay attention to a win-win situation.

I went to the newspaper to ask about the price of advertising space, and the advertisements on TV are more expensive, and the advertisements in the form of comics and animations are more targeted, and it is possible to recover the advertising costs.

He is already thinking about buying toys and giving comics in the future, so that young customers can circulate them on their own, so that the promotion effect should be quite good.

And Kiko Mochizuki stayed in the lounge.

The hot coffee was delicious, and the iced coffee was delicious, but the cup in front of him had become room temperature, and it was hard to swallow.

An idea suddenly popped into his head, and Han Chudong said to Mochizuki Kiko:

"Recently, when you have time, remember to help me investigate and see if a movie called Jaws has started filming, I remember it was adapted from a book.

If it's released, forget it, if it's not released, by the way, check which company the copyright belongs to. ”

He remembered that this drama was released in the seventies, but he couldn't remember the specific time, and the great director Steve Spielberg was successful with this movie.

“...... I'll check it out for you when I get back. ”

The little boss often does something that will make Kiko Mochizuki feel strange, and looking for a movie is not out of line in comparison.

Take the investigation in Silicon Valley as an example, I inexplicably stared at other people's projects, and I didn't even think about it, so I wanted to participate on the spot, saying that I was working together as a partner.

Han Chudong is a more magical existence in her eyes, her thinking is too jumpy, and she is addicted to making money and can't extricate herself, so that Mochizuki Kiko occasionally thinks about it, guessing that this is the difference between herself and a business genius?

I still remember when I first met, the other party was just a small boss who had just started a business and made some money, and he was not paying attention to the fact that he already had four companies, and Mochizuki Kiko herself only saved more than 2,000 US dollars during this period.

With such a huge difference between people, it's no wonder she admires it from the bottom of her heart.

Wait a moment.

When Mr. Matthew Russell returned, he said that a single copy was priced at 3,000 US dollars, which was almost equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary comic practitioner.

It's a little expensive, but Marvel will be responsible for the script, distribution and other links, and small companies don't have this kind of resources, and the price is not too high.

After thinking about it, even if he agreed, he agreed to bear the printing cost and share 50% of the profits.

Before leaving, he asked Mr. Russell how much it would cost to buy the entire Marvel Comics, although he was confused, Mr. Russell still told Han Chudong an estimated figure.

It's only seven figures, and the price is touching......
