Chapter 962: Sincerity

Hollywood giants control Hollywood's film distribution channels and peripheral sales channels, which is the most critical thing for them to stand.

Although there are often some independent film companies, and the performance is even far higher than that of Hollywood's poorer giants, but in the end, they have not been able to replace the position of Hollywood's giants.

On the one hand, the Hollywood giants hold the MPAA rating, and on the other hand, the Hollywood giants have a media group standing behind them.

But they definitely don't have an aversion to outsiders like Legendary Pictures, why? Because a foreign film company like Legendary Pictures doesn't pose any threat to them.

Instead, if they can snatch the distribution rights of several high-quality projects from Legendary Pictures from Dick Group, that's what they want.

In these days, the landlord's family has no surplus food, and many movies are released in Hollywood every year, but in fact, there are no bad movies in Hollywood? Definitely not.

On the contrary, there are still a lot of bad movies, many movies with an investment of more than 100 million, but the box office is less than tens of millions, and they are also everywhere.

Therefore, before a Hollywood film company invests in a movie, the investigation, preparation and other work to be done are very cumbersome.

This is also why Lin Xiao so hastily set the main role of a movie, and the investment will make the media so fanatical.

Mainly because Hollywood has formed a set of industrial assembly line model film production process.

Starting from the script, to market research, analysis, to investment, determining the director, casting, and a series of operations, it is impossible to settle down in a few months.

But what about Lin Xiao? In just one night, just a few hours, he has completed a lot of preliminary work for a movie.

"What does the Dick Group say?" Although the issuance is not urgent, the negotiation can still be discussed.

If the sincerity is about the same, Lin Xiao is of course more willing to choose Dick Group, which has already cooperated many times.

But Lin Xiao didn't think about putting his eggs in the same basket, after all, although Legendary Pictures currently has no distribution channels, the chips in the hands of Legendary Pictures are actually quite a lot.

And all are the most risk-free series of films.

The distribution contracts of the Hollywood giants are very demanding for many film studios, and in many cases, they can reach 40%.

Yes, you read that right, it's 40%.

And this is only at the box office, and even for foreign companies, Hollywood giants that control distribution channels will even directly take the other party's DVD copyright as a distribution condition.

Of course, it is definitely impossible for Legendary Pictures to agree to such harsh conditions, after all, although Legendary Pictures is also strictly a solo film company, Legendary Pictures' chips are big enough.

Therefore, the issuance contract with Dick Group is only 15%.

And there are no other copyrights involved, of course, Dick Group has priority in terms of other copyrights.

But this time, Nami's answer surprised Lin Xiao.

"Are you sure that the 20% share does not include the investment in publicity?" Lin Xiao looked incredulous.

"I'd love to say no, but that's the way it is. Nami said.

"Is this Rand's decision?" Lin Xiao asked with a frown.

"No, in the case of the Dick Group, there has been an internal high-level dispute, and Rand seems to have been marginalized. Nami said.

This was something Lin Xiao had not expected before, because the cooperation between Dick Group and Lin Xiao's Legendary Pictures was mainly in charge of Rand.

"Do we have any other choice?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Of course, Parker Pictures, which is owned by DSN, and Rising Star Pictures, which is owned by Mina Films, offer very good conditions. Nami said.

"Let's talk about it specifically. Lin Xiao was noncommittal.

"On the side of DSN's Parker Films, their president Owen said that they could set a distribution share at 12%, and they could pay for the distribution in advance, and at least they could get us more than 2,000 screens. Nami said.

"Are there any other additional conditions?" Lin Xiao asked.

This condition was so superior that Lin Xiao couldn't believe it.

"No! It's just that Owen hinted that he wants to have more cooperation with Legendary Pictures. Nami said.

"What is the strength of Parker Films?" Lin Xiao asked.

Although Parker Pictures is a sole label owned by DSN, it is actually operated by itself.

You know, the DSN label focuses on films of all ages, and Parker Pictures is the main distributor of other genres in DSN, including action movies, romance genres, and more.

Parker Pictures' distribution strength is slightly worse than that of Dick Pictures, but it is also very good, of course, this refers to North America.

"What else, what kind of conditions does Nova Pictures give?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"Nova Pictures' conditions are similar to those of Parker Pictures, but Nova Pictures, on its part, wants to win the global distribution rights of the film except for Asia. Nami said.

"Which one do you think is more suitable, and what is their purpose?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Actually, it's very simple, our series of films such as "Kung Fu Panda", they have always expressed their desire to cooperate with us more than once, but we didn't agree because we cooperated well with Dick Group before. ”

"But on the side of the Dick Group, Rand is marginalized, and his biggest bargaining chip is the release of several films in cooperation with our company, so within the Dick Group, Rand's competitors will definitely suppress us at this time. In order to achieve the purpose of suppressing RAND. Nami said.

"If Rand is truly excluded from Dick's power, they will certainly be sincere at once. Nami said.

"Forget it, since the Dick Group wants to use us as a tool for them to fight for power and profit, let's teach them a lesson and tell them that our legendary pictures are not necessary for Dick Pictures. Lin Xiao said lightly.

"By the way, re-register a company, and next, I will put several series of movies, including "Kung Fu Panda", to another company to operate. Lin Xiao said expressionlessly.

Previously, Legendary Pictures was actually the product of the cooperation between Ling Xiao Court and Dick Group in North America, and Dick Group of Legendary Pictures itself was also a shareholder.

Although the proportion is not much, Lin Xiao wants to teach the other party a lesson.

Today's Ling Xiao Pavilion is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer worried about offending the Dick Group.

Because as long as Dick Group needs the Chinese market, then it can't avoid Lingxiao Pavilion, although Lingxiao Pavilion may not be able to stir up the project of Dick Group, but as long as Dick Group's film is released, it is enough for them to take out heavyweight movies and fight against each other.

After all, Ling Xiao Pavilion is the head snake of Huaguo.

Moreover, Dick Group only wants to take advantage and does not want to pay, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
