Chapter 899: This Is Business!
"For $300,000, we buy out the copyright, distribution rights, remake rights, and if the audience approves after the release and shoots a sequel, we will consider continuing to have you as the director... ”
"Mr. Karl, what we said on the phone before was not copyright... ”
Seeing the sudden change in his face and a little excited Oelumpelly, Carl crossed his hands on the ******, looked at the other party indifferently, and said until the other party calmed down: "What I said is to buy it, naturally it is all of it, otherwise why do you think our company is called a copyright company?"
What would you think of a so-called movie that didn't have a script and was shot for $10,000 in a week with a home DV? You don't really think that you can sell it for $300,000 just for the distribution rights! Hehe, man, this is Hollywood, the world's cinema factory!"
"Copyright I'm absolute... ”
"Mr. Karl, can we discuss it first?" Oren's agent next to him saw that the excited employer knew what was going to happen, and hurriedly interrupted Ollen Paelli's refusal, reaching out to stop him, with an embarrassed smile on his face narrowed slightly to the indifferent Karl explained.
"Please, is 10 minutes enough?If you haven't thought about it, then forget it, I'll have something to do in a while... Karl looked at his watch impatiently and said coldly.
"Enough, enough, we'll be right back. ”
Carl looked at the departing Oleempelly and his agent, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows from his side, to be honest, he is quite optimistic about this micro-cost movie, but business is business, and profit maximization is what he pursues, well, this is a bit bullying and unfair, but this is the reality, if you want to survive in Hollywood, Vanity Fair, you have to adapt to its cruelty and ruthlessness.
He has already understood that no film with the distribution ability is interested in this "Smart Ghost Shadow", not a single person can make a movie that is pushed into theaters, and even some star movies are often not scheduled, not to mention this kind of $10,000, the so-called pseudo-documentary made by three people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a joke.
At present, I'm afraid that no one will be interested in this movie except for him Carl, and he also wants to gamble, after all, the distribution ability of Summit Entertainment is not inferior to the Big Six, and it will be released in theaters, so easy!
They have no choice!
Sure enough, it didn't take a few minutes, Olempelly's face was a little ugly and the agent with a smile on his face walked back, Carl looked at the other party's reluctant appearance and smiled playfully: "Olempelli, if you think it's unfair, you can go to another place to see, the transaction between us is fair and voluntary, I know that every director values what he shoots, but, you have to understand, the whole Hollywood is probably going to spend 300,000 yuan to buy it, after more than a year, I thought you understood!"
Carl's words made the expression on the face of Olempelly, who was still aggrieved and felt unfair, stagnant, thinking of the various cold eyes he faced before, and the hundreds of DVDs mailed out did not receive a reply, and those cynicism and disregard resurfaced again with Carl's words.
"What you want is to get it in theaters and then you can get a foothold in Hollywood, what I want is the profit it can bring to the company, and to be honest, I'm the only one who gambles, and I'm the one who loses the most, and you've got $300,000, and it's only $10,000, and if you still think it's an unfair deal, then I'm sorry, we don't have to be strong... ”
Seeing Karl's very uninteresting expression, with a hint of disgust on his face, he was about to regret it and blast them out of the door, and he hurriedly apologized like a wronged Olempelly and his agent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Karl... ”
Listening to the various apologetic words of Oron and the agent, Carl's mood slowly relaxed, and his expression looked much better.
"Oren, this time I took a big risk to buy the copyright of your pseudo-documentary, I will take it to Summit Entertainment to see the prospects for distribution, if it is valuable, I will definitely promote Summit Entertainment to release it, then you can see the movie you shoot in the cinema, if the box office is good, if you want to shoot the second part, we will consider you first. “
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Carl, believe me, the effect of the original broadcast at the film festival was really good, and the audience liked it very much... ”
Carl is very satisfied with the other party's current attitude, some people are cheap, they always don't put themselves in the right position, and they really think that they are the terminator, to be honest, if he didn't watch this movie, he really felt good, he would never pay attention to their kind of street fighting.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, the lawyers of both parties explained the terms in detail, and after confirming that they were correct, the contract was signed and paid, and a series of CDs such as unedited master films were handed over, and Carl sent away the grateful Olempelli and his party.
Standing in front of the conference window, looking at Olempelly who left happily, the corners of Carl's mouth couldn't help but show a meaningful smile, "Andy is interested just by listening to the name and the story, and wants me to buy out the copyright of the movie, I believe it will not disappoint, none of his investments have failed... ”
Andy Smith's investment vision is not only a cronie like Carl who has personally experienced all his rise process, but also a success, which has made many people begin to pursue Andy's undefeated, especially the continuous and long-term gold prediction, which has made many people who believe in Andy make a lot of money, which undoubtedly makes more people begin to pursue him.
Snow rarely snows in London, and when it does, it only lasts for a day or two. This winter, the snow fell intermittently – not in the cold winter of thick powder on the ground – and the snow on the roads was just beginning to melt, and the sky was snowing again, which made people feel terrible.
Andy's most hated thing is the kind of snow day where the dirty road is full of half-melted ice and water.
At half past eight o'clock in the evening London time, Andy, who was wearing a black crisp British wool coat and a pair of black sheepskin gloves on his hands, stepped out of the door of a private jet and was washed down by the bone-eating clammy air with snowflakes, which made him frown and raise the collar of his coat.
Fully armed, the tightly wrapped little assistant hurriedly opened the umbrella to help the big demon king stop the snow.
"No need, you can hold on to the suspension ladder... Andy glanced back at Tori, who was holding his umbrella aloof, and was strained by the cold wind.
The group quickly got off the suspension ladder and sat in the car that had been waiting for a long time, and the cabin was very warm, "I hate the weather here... ”
Andy took off his gloves and let Tori help him get the snow off his hair and coat shoulders, which melted for a while, and the wet would be even more annoying.
Andy took out his mobile phone, saw the two text messages sent by Carl above, and couldn't help but feel a lot better, his best acquaintance Fu is constantly having more fetters and entanglements with him, anyway, the marriage has failed, and the child is also there, Monica in this best period is better than starting an unreliable marriage, it is better to cheapen him.
This handsome and strong little fresh rou to meet her needs for life, she is definitely taking a big advantage...
Next, Monica Bellucci will focus on her career, and Andy will create some convenient conditions for her, and the combination of excitement and interests will keep the relationship between the two harmonious.
As for "Smart Ghost Record", this can be said to be the biggest unexpected surprise that Carl brought him, and seriously, without Carl telling him, he really wouldn't have thought of this movie that counterattacked the super dark horse at the box office.
Needless to say, "Blair the Witch" is arguably the most successful hand-held DV horror film, followed by "Death Video" from Spain, which is based on a real record to construct a fictional story with perfect plot characters.
However, "Smart Ghost Shadow" is the kind of movie that hides fear in the deepest part and makes people invisible, thus intensifying the audience's psychological fear of "the more you can't see it, the more scared you are", which is also the main reason why it later completed a big counterattack at the box office and became the biggest dark horse at the box office.
This undoubtedly made Carl, a dead fat man, dig up a very valuable treasure, since it is automatically sent to Andy for money, this kind of opportunity will naturally not be missed, in order to maximize profits, it is natural to buy out the copyright, after all, this movie has been filmed four times, although the reputation is worse than the other, but the box office is very good, this kind of high-quality resources naturally have to be grasped in his hands, he doesn't want to have a disgusting thing like "Blair the Witch".
