Chapter 1052: An Agreement is reached
I chose a place nearby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the box of Dad's Meet Chinese restaurant on the Avenue of Stars, Han Xuan and Murdoch discussed for more than two hours before going home.
This time, the bait he threw out was so meaty that even Murdoch, the most successful and intelligent old fox in the United States, was determined to take a bite, even if he knew that there might be a "hook" in it.
The main tone of the cooperation between the two parties will be determined first, and the details will be discussed by their subordinates.
The presumably content is that Murdoch invested $20 million to get a 7 percent stake in the company called Fiell.
Han Xuan, on the other hand, spent $25 million to obtain the online broadcast rights of Twentieth Century Fox's films, TV series broadcast by News Corporation's television stations, and all existing and future 30 years.
Because the person who came up with the idea was Han Xuan, Murdoch bet that he would succeed, and the vice agreement stipulated that if the value of the 7 percent shares did not reach $350 million within 15 years, then Interstellar Investment would buy back this part of the shares at a price of $350 million.
Han Xuan can be said to have invested a lot of money to ensure that the old man has no worries and let him hand over the copyright to himself.
Murdoch was smart enough to use his money to invest in Fiell, which he personally owned, and the $25 million acquisition of the rights was News Corp's business.
In this way, he will make a steady profit of 330 million dollars in fifteen years, and a fool will let go of such a good thing.
If Han Xuan makes money through that part of the copyright, News Corp's losses will be borne by all shareholders, and Merkor will not lose anything.
After the end of the negotiation, the relationship between the two quickly became much closer, and the old man put his arm around Han Xuan's shoulder cordially before leaving, telling him that if Fiell Company encountered anything, he would look for him, and News Corp would cooperate with the publicity.
Let's not talk about other aspects, when it comes to commercial promotion, no one is as well-connected as this media tycoon......
Han Xuan did not relax because he was about to get the part of the copyright of Twentieth Century Fox, on the one hand, he asked his family office, Interstellar Investment, to send someone to discuss the specific contract details with the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, and strive to finalize it as soon as possible.
On the other hand, in the next few days, he personally contacted the remaining major Hollywood studios, including Time Warner and Disney, and offered them similar terms as those offered to Murdoch.
After a lot of saliva, in the end, they only got affirmative answers from Paramount and MGM, and several other companies said that they should consider it first, and their attitude should be regarded as a polite refusal.
Han Xuan wants those copyrights very much, after all, it will be a big market with a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, but it is not in a hurry now.
When Fiell rises, I'm not afraid that they won't take the bait, but now as long as we slow down the development of online video technology and deceive them into thinking that this industry has no future, those big companies will naturally come to the door to ask for cooperation.
Small film companies are very easy to deal with, although most of them are bad movies, but they can win by volume, ten movies with a total of 10 million clicks, and a good movie with tens of millions of clicks, can win the same amount of money for the company.
Han Xuan is only responsible for negotiating with those Hollywood giants, and the rest of the small companies don't need him to come forward in person, and they don't have the strength to participate in Fiell's business, so just leave it to the people under him......
After the test screening a few days ago, as expected, film critics gave surprisingly high reviews.
The New York Times used the title "Salute to Life, Salute to Love", and the most famous film critic, Mr. Roger Albert, even boasted that several important awards such as Best Picture, Best Film, and Best Soundtrack at the Oscars next year had been booked in advance by this film, and others had no chance to get it.
Judging from his usual cautious style, it is not easy to say such a thing.
Albert also believes that it will be the most anticipated film of the year, and many curious audiences are gearing up for the release of "Titanic" during the summer vacation.
The critics who participated in the preview did give some good advice, such as the expression of the old woman's inner emotions at the end of the movie was too protracted and a bit muddy.
Cameron called Guo Muzhou yesterday and said that he wanted to delete a small part of the scene, which would not affect the previous review results.
Han Xuan agreed instead of his grandfather......
***************************
Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Today was a cloudy day, and the sun was obscured by dark clouds.
A light rain, which has been falling since last night, is watering the green grass outside the window.
It's early summer, and it's lush as far as the eye can see, electric snakes flash in the dark clouds from time to time, and thunder seems to sound in my ears.
Little Barry huddled next to the couch, he was most afraid of thunder, while Chubby had a lot of fun in the rain.
Han Xuan stood by the window drinking juice, and recently he found that he seemed to be addicted to coffee, always thinking about it.
Therefore, deliberately reduce the number of times you drink coffee, and replace it with drinks such as flower tea, tea leaves, and fruit juices.
Even the caffeine is so poisonous, which shows how difficult it is that Isabelli is in a difficult situation, and she can't be contacted in person, but she can contact someone in the church of São Paulo, Brazil.
According to one priest, Isabelle was well at home, spending her days doing weird research and procuring a lot of machinery.
Han Xuan was relieved when he heard this, and made a phone call to tell Anya about it, so that she could also feel at ease......
Sissi and her daughter just moved out last night and live not far from Beverly Hills.
That apartment used to belong to Han Xuan's mother, and she lived there alone before she married Han Qianshan, because she was not short of money, she never sold it, and it has appreciated a lot in more than ten years.
It just so happened that Mrs. Liu was in need, so her grandfather made the decision and rented it to them at a cheap price.
From the morning to now, Han Xuan found that his grandfather sighed a lot, and at this moment he also asked himself a very strange question: "When can I hold my great-grandson or great-granddaughter?"
Han Xuan couldn't answer this question, so he could only throw a big white eye at him.
Thinking that maybe it was because Sissi, who was very close to him, had recently left, and the house was empty again, so the old man of his own family would be so compassionate.
He replied: "I am ugly, my temper is not good, no one takes a fancy to me, and it is estimated that it will take many years for you to get your wish."
If you don't want them to leave, let them move back again, anyway, you have so many empty houses here, and the mother of the province has to pay the rent herself.
I don't think Ms. Liu's financial situation is very good, the RMB is very worthless after being converted into US dollars, and she read the job posting in the newspaper yesterday, probably because she wants to find a job ......" (to be continued. )
