"Antiques, Li Dong, congratulations on the successful listing, the development of the domestic Internet is getting faster and faster, and those of us who make movies are all looking hot. ”

Yu Dong and Tang An found Gu Yongjiang and Li Guoqing and had a drink together.

The two of them are modest, the domestic film industry is also a step a year, and Tang Dong's films are selling 1 billion in China, and they are all exported overseas. Gu Yongjiang said with a smile.

"It's just a sci-fi film, and if you change to another genre, it's hard to sell overseas. Tang An waved his hand and smiled.

Gu Yongjiang said, "No matter what kind of film it is, it's good if it can be sold, it used to be costume films and action movies, and now there are science fiction films, and one day most of our types of movies can also have a market abroad." ”

Yang Guoqing sighed, "Although I don't make movies, I was deeply touched by what Tang Dong said in the newspaper a few days ago, no matter what industry has to bloom, it doesn't work to guard one type." ”

Yu Dong answered, "What Yang Dong said is right, it seems that Jingdong is also developing the book market recently, and he also shouted the slogan that no profit will be allowed for 5 years, which is competing with you for the market." ”

"Liu Walldong's little trick is just that. Li Guoqing said with confidence.

Now that Dangdang is the leader of the B2C platform, Jingdong is just a character who follows behind.

Tang An said with a smile, "Dong Li, Jingdong will definitely not be able to grab the market share of books in the short term, but when there are 150,000 book orders per day, Jingdong will reduce the price by 20%, if you also reduce the price, the loss every day is not a small amount." ”

Li Guoqing frowned, but it was a matter of trade secrets, and there was no specific response.

Tang An continued, "Jingdong's current advantage lies in the 3C business, if Mr. Li saves Zhao, he can choose some popular goods to reduce the price by about 10%, which can also allow them to take care of one or the other." ”

"However, digital products are expensive, often one or two thousand, three or four thousand, which is not comparable to books with a unit price of dozens of yuan......

Tang An said to himself, suddenly stopped, and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry Yang Dong, it's a bit verbose, it's ugly. ”

"Tang Dong is humble, your idea is very good. Yang Guoqing smiled disapprehantly.

He didn't care, although what Tang An said was their temporary strategy, and it was not surprising to guess it.

As for the cost, when the listing is good, it is not bad for money.

Tang An also casually mentioned it, and when Dangdang later did not have enough funds to support its expansion of 3C business, and the expansion of other industries such as beauty and maintenance was not smooth, it was eaten away by Jingdong step by step.

After chatting for a while, Tang An found Wang Wei, chairman of Tudou.com, with a wine glass.

Tang An has been observing him for a long time, and just now Wang Wei has found several funds, and it seems that he should have encountered resistance.

His ex-wife was also smart enough to file a lawsuit at this juncture before the listing, and the court froze the joint property of the couple, and the entire potato listing procedure was also shelved, and Wang Wei could only go private.

But he doesn't have any money, nearly 10 million dollars is so easy to come up with.

If it was fine before it was sued, but now that the listing has been delayed, the company's prospects are worrying, and the valuation has fallen again and again.

Seeing that the company is quite big, in fact, Wang Wei doesn't have much money, and he definitely doesn't have to come up with nearly 10 million US dollars.

Unless he sells a portion of his 12.4% stake, but if he sells again, he won't be in the top five shareholders.

Tang An didn't want his 12.4% stake, which was not much.

He will not throw nearly 10 million dollars out to help Wang Wei tide over the difficulties for no reason.

The real target is the major shareholder of Tudou, and it happens that there is still some business dealings with Tang An.

"Hello Wang Dong. ”

Tang An sat down and said hello with a smile and touched a glass.

"Hello Tang Dong. Wang Weiqiang cheered up and nodded in response.

"Wang Dong, Youku has already been listed, presumably potatoes are not far away, I will come to watch the ceremony then." ”

Wang Wei rarely showed a smile on his face, "It must be certain, and I will definitely send an invitation to Tang Dong then." ”

The two are not familiar with each other, so if they are a little polite, Tang An did not stay long.

......

The morning banquet ended quickly, and Tang An took Zhou You, as well as the group's legal and financial staff, to meet with Elizabeth Crotty, vice president of Colombia, in the hotel conference room, who also led a team.

"Hello Lady Elizabeth. ”

"Hello Mr. Tang. ”

The teams from both sides greeted each other very formally and sat down at the meeting table.

"Mr. Tang, this is our purchase of "Edge of Tomorrow" in North America TV on demand, digital broadcasting, physical media broadcasting, toys... and other copyright contracts. ”

Elizabeth's assistant handed over a few documents, handed them out to Tang An's side, and continued.

"For the film "Edge of Tomorrow", we are very optimistic about the market of home on-demand, digital broadcast, and physical media broadcast...... Decided to buy out the North American rights for $7 million. ”

Tang An frowned, what he said was so good, there was no sincerity at all.

In the North American film market in the box office, the ratio of TV broadcasting, digital broadcasting and physical media broadcasting is about 1:0.6:1.2.

Some hits will have a higher percentage, and even other revenues are three times what they earn at the box office.

But that's a figure that will take two or three years or more to reach.

With 2.2 times the box office revenue, the final box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is expected to be between 50 million and 55 million.

Although it is not a popular movie, nor is it the big part of the video tape market such as horror and comedy, plus because of Chinese-language films, it should be able to get no less than the box office share within a year or two.

Colombia won a 50% share of "Edge of Tomorrow", which means that the revenue from peripheral rights is expected to be $25 million.

If you pay Colombia the channel fee, Tang An's psychological price is 18 million, and both parties will not suffer a loss, and Colombia will be able to have a lot of income every year in the future.

"Ms. Elizabeth, according to our research, the prospect of Edge of Tomorrow in the video website, pay TV and video cassette market is very good, and there are already many fans who are asking when there will be a 1:1 scale exoskeleton for sale in the movie, and the prospects of the toy market are very objective......"

Tang An said and motioned to Zhou You to hand them the documents of the survey data, and also said the price he wanted.

"$25 million!"

The sky is asking for a price to sit on the ground and pay back, all kinds of temptations, see if you understand it.

There is also a semi-threat, if we don't sell it to find a channel for ourselves, we will be exploited layer by layer.

Tang An also said that 20th Century Fox and the Lions have approached him to negotiate the distribution of the next movie.

After grinding for an hour and a half, an agreement was finally reached.

The $16 million will be credited within 10 days of the contract being signed.

Columbia made a fortune on those two horror films before, and now it still earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so it didn't take time.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

PS; I am not familiar with the North American market, check the information, the ratio should be good, if there is a problem with the data, please spray lightly......
