Chapter 982

Dick Group is actually not much better than Universal, but in recent years, Dick Group has relied on the introduction and distribution of several series of movies from Lingxiao Pavilion to make a lot of money.

Although there are cracks in the current cooperation between Dick Group and Soaring Court, and those series of films have also been allocated to other Hollywood giants, Dick Group still holds the project "Home Alone".

But Universal was not so lucky, but fortunately, Universal originally wanted to show favor to Legendary Pictures or Lin Xiao, but he didn't expect "Hurricane Rescue", which was not favored by everyone, to achieve unexpected success, and Legendary Pictures has officially begun to prepare for a sequel.

However, although "Hurricane Rescue" is also a relatively successful genre, Universal did not get the distribution rights of the sequel, or rather, Universal Pictures did not expect "Hurricane Rescue" to be such a hot seller.

The president of Universal Pictures, Vincent?? Larry looked at Universal's earnings report with a bit of a headache.

Let's take a look at other companies, although there are a lot of loss-making movies, but people have big killers, and if you release one or two big-selling sequels, you can directly recover your blood.

But Universal can't do it, several sequels have hit the streets, and they can only be shelved for the time being, and they will not be launched again in a few years.

But these days, the original movie is really too risky, Vincent?? Larry is also cautious. Original films can be invested in and produced, but the cost must not be too high.

Otherwise, even the world can't afford to lose a lot.

Hollywood giants have paid tuition fees, even now, and there are a lot of big productions with huge losses every year.

Hundreds of millions of investments, but only a fraction of the box office results, are nerve-wracking for any company.

"I want all the information for "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs"!" Since Nami has Lin Xiao's instructions, the news released is out, Vincent?? Naturally, Larry will receive it too.

During this time, because of the success of the sequel to "Home Alone", many people's eyes focused on the popular films in Huaguo, and they wanted to find a movie suitable for adaptation into the North American version, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiao moved faster and directly selected two more suitable films.

"BOSS, this is the information you want!" the assistant quickly passed on the collected information.

Vincent?? Larry flipped through the materials of "Dark Wars" and "Infernal Affairs" and began to read them.

After reading it, Vincent was surprised to find that "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" turned out to be the works of the legendary Hua Guolin.

And the key is that Lin Xiao of "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War" both participated, and even the latter himself was one of the directors and leading actors.

Whether a movie is suitable for adaptation depends mainly on whether there are many cultural aspects involved, if there are too many, then it will be more troublesome to adapt.

For example, a Chinese martial arts movie, no matter how much you change it, you can't change the local version.

However, "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" are both police films, and "Dark War" is a bit like a police movie from "Uncle Cat Wars" in North America more than ten years ago.

And "Infernal Affairs" surprised Vincent even more, because he found this movie really brilliant.

And the difficulty of adapting is not too high.

It is worthy of being a magical forest, and it really has a unique vision.

"Jennifer, throw a cocktail party and send invitations to Nami and Hua Guolin from Legendary Pictures!" Vincent?? Larry said after a moment's thought.

Because he saw the huge potential of "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs", these two films, once they are made, have the potential to become new series.

And this time, since the other party has come up with it and is ready to cooperate and invest, then Universal has the hope of directly getting involved in the copyright of the series, even if it is half of it, it is very good.

Vincent?? Larry was able to get the news and see the potential of the adaptation of these two films, and the other Hollywood giants could naturally see it too.

After all, although the risks of movies are uncontrollable, sometimes, whether there is potential or not, you can still see some of it.

"Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" are obviously the kind of films that have more potential, why? Because these two films are not special effects, but dramas!

What is the most important thing in a feature film? It is the story structure, the play of the actors, and the overall planning of the director.

They can all see that the probability of failure of these two films is far less than the probability of success when they find good actors and directors.

Moreover, both films have the potential to create sequels, so the value is naturally different.

Any movie that has the potential to make a sequel, they can't take it too seriously.

For Lin Xiao, it may be a burden for actors with high salaries to star early, but for Hollywood giants, this is not the case, because actors with high salaries show that they have box office appeal.

And although they will also ask for a share, it is only limited to the box office, and for them, the real money is from the peripheral channels of the movie, and there is also the stretching effect of high-box office movies on the stock price.

Therefore, what is a burden in Lin Xiao's eyes is an insurance in their eyes!

That's right, insurance!

"Universal Pictures' drinking party, it's fast!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes, it's not just Vincent from Universal Pictures?? Larry, Mina Films, DSN Pictures, Dick Films, Godie Films, and many more companies are interested in our projects. And if nothing else, they will also be attended by people at the world's cocktail party. Nami said with a smile.

Nami is very satisfied with her current position, although the legendary film industry is certainly not as good as those Hollywood giants, and even inferior to some solo film companies, but the CEO of a small company can win the respect of Hollywood giants, and even talk to each other on an equal footing, why?

Of course, it is because Lin Xiao, the person behind Legendary Pictures, can bring them huge benefits, and Nami is Lin Xiao's spokesperson for North America.

"Then go and have a look!" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"So boss, what's our bottom line?" asked Nami.

Lin Xiao could talk to those old foxes in the past, but it was limited to the general direction, and the specific negotiations would definitely be handed over to Nami at that time.

That's why Nami asked.

By the way, in terms of the box office of the two films, the leading actors and directors will definitely ask for a share, and they can accept it, because they are the focus in other channels, but we are different, so in terms of box office sharing, we have to get stuck, let them make profits! Lin Xiao said with a deep groan.

"I see!" Nami also knows that the biggest shortcoming of Legendary Pictures compared to other Hollywood giants is the channel.

However, the channel is the basic monopoly of Hollywood giants, so it is too difficult to change.

Fortunately, the Hollywood giants were not monolithic, so Nami was given some room to operate.
