"Shaw," Shaw's second wife, Fang Yihua, had a surprise on her face, she walked over and couldn't help but say excitedly, "There are many senior executives and artists in the company who were originally going to change jobs, but now after watching ATV's press conference, they have all stayed!"

Hearing this, Run Run Shaw nodded lightly at her!

ATV has indeed helped Shaw Brothers a lot, otherwise, Shaw Brothers Film Company may fall apart because of this! With the massive loss of talent, the decline of Shaw Brothers Film Company will become inevitable!

"Shaw, the people from Star Media are here, they are coming to buy our film rights!" Fang Yihua walked up to Run Run Shaw and said softly.

Shaw didn't have any expression on his face, and nodded faintly.

Fang Yihua looked at him quietly, the Hong Kong tycoon who used to gallop in film and television and covered the sky with one hand, but now his head is full of gray hair, and he looks a little lonely! Even so, there is still the majesty of an unusual person between his eyebrows.

A minute passes.

Five minutes passed......

Run Run Shaw didn't speak for a long time, but the people from Star Media were still waiting outside for a reply, Fang Yihua had to give them an explanation, and when she was about to ask Run Run Shaw, Run Run Shaw raised his head, sighed slightly, and immediately glanced at Fang Yihua, and said: "You go and tell the people of Star Media that the film rights of Shaw Brothers Film Company will not sell them the film rights!"

Fang Yihua was stunned and looked at him in surprise, "Haven't you already thought about selling the movie rights to them?"

"I've changed my mind!" Run Run Shaw said lightly, "You help me contact ATV, and I say I'm going to talk to them about film rights!"

Fong Yat-wah stayed by Shaw's side for many years, helping him take care of his business and was his right-hand man. Except for some surprise at first, then calmed down.

"Okay!" Fang Yihua replied softly. "Then I'll send the people from Star Media away now, and then contact Asia Television!"

"Hmm!"

Shaw nodded in response, and when Fang Yihua left the room, he walked to a chaise longue and sat down, and then took out an iron box containing cigars from his pocket...... A scent of Cuban cigars fills my heart.

Run Run Shaw was old and rarely smoked anymore. But he still lights his cigar today. And took a deep puff! He leaned back on the chaise longue with his eyes slightly closed, and in the haze of cigar aroma and smoke, he unconsciously remembered the prosperous years of his youth......

Asia Television never expected that Run Run Shaw would be willing to sell the film rights to him, and then hurriedly sent someone to contact Run Run Shaw. After a week of negotiations, Run Run Shaw finally accepted to sell all the perpetual rights to Shaw Brothers Films for HK$300 million, but this copyright only belongs to TV!

As a television company, it is reasonable that the Hong Kong film company is willing to sell the perpetual copyright of the TV film to ATV. However, if they are forced to sell the network rights to ATV as well. Then it seems that Asia TV has a feeling of overwhelming people!

There is no need for ATV to have such a strained relationship with Hong Kong film companies!

Internet piracy is rampant in Hong Kong, as for Chinese mainland, piracy is even more rampant, can you still count on these movies to make money on the Internet? Movie network copyright is as worthless as waste paper, it is completely possible for RealNetwork companies to buy, Asia Television can contact from it, presumably those film companies are very willing to sell the network copyright!

Sure enough, when ATV helped introduce RealNetwork to buy the online rights of the movie. One by one, the film companies gladly accepted and expressed their willingness to sell the copyright. A representative of RealNetwork said. Films with a box office between 1 million and 2 million Hong Kong dollars will acquire the permanent network copyright of the film at the price of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per movie. After that, for every 1 million increase in the box office, the purchase price of film rights increased by 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. If the box office is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, there should be 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in copyright fees!

And if the box office is less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, then the unified purchase price is 500 Hong Kong dollars.

Presently. The largest source of films is Shaw Brothers Film Company, they have more than 700 films. There are very few movies from other film companies, and there are few that can exceed a hundred!

RealNetwork spent a whole week buying the perpetual rights to the movie network in Hong Kong, spending a total of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, almost all Hong Kong films! Within five years, RealNetwork will still be able to buy the perpetual rights to the movie network in the same way as before, but at a 10% higher price. However, the contract ends by stating that RealNetwork also has the right not to buy the copyright!

RealNetwork has obtained so many Hong Kong film network copyrights, and it will be beneficial for RealNetwork to enter the Chinese Internet in the future. Moreover, there are still a lot of Chinese in the United States and Europe, and Hong Kong movies can definitely attract them, and this alone is not a loss!

After winning so many movie rights, the RealPlayer client then opened a new feature "Hong Kong Film Zone", which is full of Hong Kong movies, but the subtitles are in Chinese and English!

Henry found that after RealNetwork bought the copyright of the Hong Kong film network, it played a very big role in promoting Hong Kong culture and even Chinese culture. Many foreigners abroad will go to watch Hong Kong movies out of curiosity, thus promoting Chinese culture!

Especially at this stage, the quality of Hong Kong films is excellent, and many classics have been made, even if they go abroad, they are also very marketable!

Perhaps foreigners who watch too many Hong Kong movies may open up the American market, and when the time comes, earning dollars in the United States will be much cooler and more profitable than earning Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong! The box office of 10 million US dollars is close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and they can crush all Hong Kong movies casually! However, the box office of 10 million US dollars is not uncommon in the United States, and in many cases it can even be said to be a very bad box office!

Therefore, countless Hong Kong movie stars are running to the United States, even if their heads are bleeding, even if the identity of Hong Kong superstar is reduced to a small supporting role in the United States, they are willing!

In this life, with Henry's help and RealPlayer to promote Hong Kong movies on the Internet, it will be easier for Hong Kong artists to enter the United States.

In the end, Henry came to Galaxy Pictures and instructed Bobby Robin to select some excellent Hong Kong films to be distributed in the United States in the future. It doesn't matter how much you earn or how little you earn, Henry doesn't lack this money!

When it was over, Henry went to inspect the company.

Although David Geffen didn't agree at first, Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg agreed, and he had no choice but to agree. In the end, after negotiation, Galaxy Film Company invested 70 million US dollars, and Spielberg, David Geffing, and Jeffrey Katzenberg each invested 10 million US dollars, holding 70%, 10%, 10%, and 10% of the shares respectively.

Weta Studios is also 70% owned by Galaxy Films, but the studio's headquarters are still in New Zealand. At first, Peter Jackson, the founder of Weta Studios, was reluctant to sell the company, but Galaxy Pictures said that if Peter Jackson agreed, the Lord of the Rings films would be made to him.

Peter Jackson is a brilliant director and a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings, and his biggest wish is to make a Lord of the Rings movie. He immediately said that as long as I was asked to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", I would agree to Galaxy Pictures to join Weta Studios!!

Bobby Robin is worried about Peter Jackson because Peter Jackson is a rookie director. But if the "Lord of the Rings" movie is not handed over to Peter Jackson for filming, Henry will not be at ease! Such a magnificent, epic film is not something that ordinary directors can control. Peter Jackson is a genius in the world of directing, and he has an innate ability to do this! He proved himself in his previous life, and Henry is a hundred reassuring of him!

Henry's decision, Bobby Robin would not dare to disobey. In the end, Galaxy Pictures spent $10 million to invest in Weta Studios, holding 70% of the shares, but the contract specifically stated that the director of the "Lord of the Rings" movie was Peter Jackson......
