Chapter 174 Copyright for Shares, Who Loses and Who Earns?

(Thank you to all the people who have given you a big reward!, and the author said!)

Andy clearly remembers that the twilight four-part series in his previous life swept away a total of $2.4 billion at the global box office, except for "Twilight." The pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Dawn" has invested more than 100 million yuan, and each of the previous ones only cost 60 or 70 million, which is simply a profitable deal.

Not to mention Andy's "The Hunger Games", which is also a masterpiece with a global box office of 2.96 billion, which is still achieved in the case of the third box office slump.

The global box office of the two series reached $5.5 billion, and to be honest, these are definitely two cash cows, and Rob of Summit Entertainment is optimistic about the future of the film adaptation of these two novels based on years of experience, and there are still some concerns about the box office of the movie.

And Andy knows the amount of the box office, how can he easily sell the money printing machine cheaply, don't even think about it, but let him get a film company and play by himself, to be honest, Andy didn't think about it, the film industry, just having money can't be played, a century-old industry, there are too many cats in it, and those coal bosses in the Celestial Empire in the previous life carried cash to invest in movies, and they were simply killed and brought back to life.

The safest way is to occupy the magpie's nest, especially the film company that can develop well in the foreseeable future, it is simply tailor-made for Andy, and it almost doesn't take too much effort, as long as the two shareholders in the company are squeezed out when 08 comes, the annexation of Summit Entertainment can be completed.

Andy had already thought about these thoughts very clearly, so he didn't answer Rob Freman's question positively, and still asked with a smile: "Mr. Freman, you should be very clear about the real value of these two IPs, although I don't know much about the film industry, but I also like to watch movies, some famous IP movies are held in the hands of the Big Six, and each one can make a lot of money, I believe you should also know about me and Warner about "Inception" However, what I want to tell you is that these two series of IPs are different from Inception, because I believe that once any film company should have these two series at the same time, it will not have to worry about profitability for at least the next 10 years, what conditions do you think I should put forward to be satisfied?"

"This... Rob Freman really couldn't answer for a while, he heard the meaning of Andy's words, that is, don't use the terms of his cooperation with Warner to talk to him, after all, Inception is just a movie, and these two IPs are two series of movies, and the value of a good series of movies is a treasure at the bottom of the box that no film company will sell.

Just like MGM, they are all about to go bankrupt, and the last fight when they can't make ends meet is to pool money to shoot "007", which is all a life-saving straw, how can it be transferred to them for a little box office success.

The two people brought by Rob Freman are also like water, they can be brought by Rob, and they are naturally excellent talents in the film industry, Andy's words are not difficult for them to understand, but they now regret very much why they didn't pay a high price to buy the copyright of "Twilight" at that time, but let the young man in front of him shoot a nasty guy to cut off his beard, and now it is not enough to look at the young man's face completely.

Well, they can give up completely, no one forced them, right, but, they have missed it once, do they have to miss it a second time, watching other film companies make a lot of money, and then say sourly, if we worked hard at that time, maybe we would be the ones who make money now!

People who are in Hollywood understand a truth, what is most important in Hollywood, that is opportunity!

There is no regret medicine to buy in this world, and once the opportunity is missed, fate will have two diametrically opposite endings.

Rob Freman looked at the young face who had been smiling with deep eyes, and he seemed to understand a little bit that Andy didn't want to sell the copyright, but that his ambition was too big, and some cash and a few percent of the share could not satisfy his appetite.

"We at Summit Entertainment are willing to bid $10 million plus 20% of the global box office share for the adaptation rights of the two series of novels!"

Andy's eyes flashed with brilliance, although the cash is a little small, but the 20% box office share has caught up with Tom Cruise's treatment in "Mission Impossible", I have to say that Rob Freman is indeed very sincere, if Andy didn't care about their company, maybe he would really agree.

Smiling and shaking his head, Andy said noncommittally: "Although it's tempting, but it's not what I want, I can spend some money to buy a film company by myself, and then invest in my own production, and find one of the six major for distribution, although this makes a little less money, but it is more than the 20% you proposed, at least the copyright is still in my hands, and there are all kinds of peripherals, DVDs or something, the profits will be very huge and considerable!"

Rob listened to Andy's narration, his pupils shrank suddenly, he really understood Andy's thoughts now, he wanted to exchange the copyrights of the two novels for the company's shares, it was just whimsical, was he crazy, did he really have to buy these two IPs?

Although Rob thought about the words of disdain for Andy, and the eyes that looked at Andy became less friendly, the expression on his face did not change much, and he confirmed seriously: "What does Mr. Smith mean, you want to invest yourself?"

Andy looked at Rob Freman in front of him with a smile, JING is capable, otherwise he would not be able to become the CEO of Paramount in his 40s, and now he has become the CEO of Summit Entertainment, if he can't guess his true purpose, he doesn't believe it when he kills Andy, then, he asked like this, which means that the other party is not optimistic about the matter of copyright for shares.

Andy is not discouraged, this matter was originally his temporary idea, even if it doesn't work, it's a big deal to buy a film company and poach a good CEO, just the script and novel in his hand are enough to support an excellent film company, but in this way, he has to spend JING effort and a lot of money to invest, which is the fundamental reason why he prefers the plan of the dove and magpie's nest.

After Andy figured it out, he smiled casually, took a sip of the coffee cup, and said: "With this consideration, of course, what I hope most is to find an excellent film company to cooperate in production, because I don't know much about the film industry after all, in order to ensure my own interests, my condition is to become a shareholder of the cooperative company, if the company is excellent, I can even add funds to invest." HEY, AFTER ALL, IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO RUN A NEW FILM COMPANY, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT MY CAREER FOCUS IS NOT THE FILM INDUSTRY. ”

As soon as Andy's words fell, Rob Freman and the two people who brought him looked at each other a few times, and now everyone understood Andy's conditions, which could not be said to be harsh, it was simply incredible.

Well, it's not so incredible, Summit Entertainment's current market value is only hundreds of millions of dollars, if you really want to convert it into money to measure investment, Andy's IP value is really a lot, but the problem is that the three shareholders of Summit Entertainment are not bad for money, they invest in movies to develop new ways to make profits, and if they are poor, they will not blindly make big investments and big productions in the future, and they owe a lot of debts to the bank, and they were finally swallowed up by Lionsgate for more than 400 million US dollars, which is simply a loser.

Summit Entertainment is now in the pioneering period, how could it be possible to agree to Andy's request for a lion to exchange copyright for shares.

They think that Andy Lion is open-mouthed, Andy doesn't think so, 5.5 billion is the future, and he feels like a loss-making deal now, but you must know that the first part of "Twilight" was released in 2008, and when the time comes, Summit Entertainment may not be able to point out who it belongs to!
