Chapter 260: Zhao Dashao's Hollywood Journey (3)

As a top figure in Hollywood, Bernard easily understood that "Infernal Affairs" is different from the old routine of chasing and killing in ordinary cop movies.

This is a rather novel new idea for a police film, and the acting skills of the actors in it can be seen to be quite good, the facial expressions and movements are very good, and the editing of the film is also excellent.

In this short ten-minute film, the Peng brothers not only clearly showed the entire story line, but also left great imagination space for the wonderful places, which is completely in line with the style of Hollywood.

This is a relatively reliable company and a reliable movie, and Bernard has seen a lot of things from the trailer.

"Well, Richard, I've already been impressed by your film, I wonder how you want to work together?"

After thinking about it for a while, Bernard decided to talk to Zhao Shaodong in a straightforward way, and he was able to find him by relying on the relationship, no matter how small this company is, it will not be very simple.

Then in this case, there is no need to think about the opportunity to play an off-market move to lower the quote.

This is not the long-term way for large companies, and it is better to negotiate the price frankly.

"And if Mr. Bernard is interested, we might as well discuss how to buy out?" Being able to directly enter this link simply exceeded Zhao Shaodong's best expectations.

It's just that no matter how urgent Zhao Shaodong is, he won't sell it out at a low price in a hurry.

He paved the way for this matter, and the rest of the things need to be discussed by professionals, how to valuate, how to operate, how to protect the interests of both parties in the future, and this series of things cannot be handled by one or two people.

"No problem, so be it, Richard, if you don't have a problem, I suggest that we start concrete negotiations in a week, and before the negotiations, my people need to see the full version and anything that we think needs to be understood now. ”

Bernard didn't hesitate once he decided. Directly finalize the next process.

"No problem at all, we will cooperate with your investigation as much as possible. Zhao Shaodong nodded and said.

A qualified leader will never make decisions based solely on his own feelings, and the introduction of a movie involves millions of dollars, and of course it will not be decided on the first slap of the head.

A decision like Liu Ruoyi's, Zhao Shaodong has only seen such a thing in his life, but this is normal, if everyone has Liu Ruoyi's business intuition and art appreciation ability, the world will be too crazy.

While Zhao Shaodong was trying to pry open the door to Hollywood in Los Angeles, Li Zihe's negotiations on the introduction of the "Meteor Garden" series on Treasure Island were at an impasse.

"Mr. Li, there are more than 30 satellite TV stations in the mainland, why do I have to sell the broadcast rights to your family?" Cai Ziping stared at Li Zihe and asked.

"Miss Cai, because my bid is very fair, 100,000 yuan per episode, I believe you will never find a second one. Regarding Cai Ziping's question, Li Zihe avoided answering and returned to the offer.

"No, no, no, the method of solo broadcasting is too detrimental to the promotion of our dramas, and you are also going to broadcast it on a satellite TV station that is not famous at all, I don't think it can reflect the value of our series. Cai Ziping shook her head like a rattle.

Although the offer of plum and is by far the highest,

"Miss Cai, as far as I know, the cost of your series should be less than 300,000 episodes, I don't understand, now we are willing to pay a high price to buy out the broadcast, this is the most profitable approach for you.

As far as I know, most TV stations should not buy more than 10,000 yuan per episode of serialized dramas now, and you wouldn't think that every TV station in the mainland will buy your dramas. Li Zihe asked rhetorically.

Although Liu Ruoyi gave him full authorization to buy this series, and there was no limit on the purchase price, Li Zihe did not make decisions based on emotion like Liu Ruoyi.

Before I came, I had already figured out the cost of this series and the current broadcast situation, who knew that the other party would veto it as soon as he heard that it was a buyout of the mainland exclusive broadcast.

Buying out the mainland broadcast rights at one-third of the cost price, Li Zihe feels that it is already a very fair price.

Now TVB's dramas don't have this price, if it weren't for Liu Ruoyi's designation that this series could gather the popularity of the TV drama column channel, Li Zihe would want to go away now.

"It's not a matter of price, I don't want my hard work to be buried, Mr. Li, the ratings of my "Meteor Garden" in Treasure Island are record-breaking, and I hope to create another record in the mainland, because my second part is already in the planning. Cai Ziping finally revealed her little abacus and disc.

This "Meteor Garden" has made Cai Ziping's pockets bulge all of a sudden, and it has set off a ratings boom in Treasure Island and Southeast Asia, and has already made a lot of money, with such a good foundation, Cai Ziping of course wants to take advantage of the victory to chase after it, and then create a popular series to make a lot of money.

Compared with the two million yuan of attractive income from the buyout, Cai Ziping wants to open up the market in the mainland and pave the way for her second part, which is difficult to do with millions of advertising dollars.

In order to open up the mainland market, it doesn't matter if Cai Ziping would rather sell for a little less.

Li Zihe suddenly realized, but in the face of Cai Ziping's appeal, Li Zihe didn't dare to promise anything at all.

He didn't know that once this drama was broadcast on the mainland, whether it was one TV station or several TV stations, it might eventually be the result of thousands of empty alleys.

There is no way, this kind of novel idol drama showing off wealth is too lethal for young audiences in the mainland, and there is no resistance at all.

In the previous life, it would even cause great controversy in society because it was too popular and obsessed with young audiences, and then it was banned from broadcasting!

An idol drama can do this, which is also an extremely rare scene in the history of mainland TV dramas!

The negotiations reached an impasse, and Li Zihe had no choice but to temporarily terminate the negotiations and prepare to slow down the talks.

The negotiation of Baodao was unsatisfactory, but the representatives sent by Aurora Culture negotiated the purchase of the IP adaptation copyright of the original comic of Dongying's "Meteor Garden" very smoothly.

Seeing that the Heung Kong Company was interested in this copyright, the copyright author was very happy and happily increased the price of the 20 percent price to the Baodao Company and signed a copyright transfer agreement with Heung Kong Aurora Culture.

Including the adaptation rights of all subsequent episodes of this IP, the film and anime adaptation rights were packaged and sold to Aurora Culture.

Of course, this copyright transfer fee is not high individually, but on the whole, it has far exceeded the income of the original comics several times, so it is a very cost-effective business for the copyright author.

When the negotiators spread the news of the signing of the agreement to Li Zihe in Baodao, Li Zihe's eyes rolled, there was a way!
