Chapter 296 Selling Copyright (1)
The reason why foreign film companies frantically grabbed the copyright of the remake of "Myth", Ding Li thought about it for a long time before he figured out what was going on.
All of this can be summed up in a proverb from his previous life, that is, a friend of a friend is his friend, and an enemy of an enemy is also an ally of himself.
The eight major Hollywood film companies are in a state of competition, and if you buy the remake rights of a film with good resources, several other film companies are not happy to see it.
Therefore, regardless of whether this movie is what your company wants, you have to find a way to do it, although it may not be successful, but it is good to disgust the competitors.
Several other Hollywood film companies with such thoughts have all sent their troublemakers to Huaxia, and it cannot be said that they are all to make trouble. There is a more important thing for these people to come to Huaxia, that is, to discuss cooperation with Huaxia Film Company to see if the cooperation between the two sides can go further. The further step here refers to Huaxia's relaxation of the import quantity of foreign films, which is the main reason for these foreigners to come to Huaxia.
I have to say that foreigners' ability to do things is strong, and at the same time, they are extremely serious.
The heads of several other film companies sent to make trouble did not first look for a hotel to stay in when they entered Huaxia, but first went to the movie theater to see what their goal was when they came this time, that is, how was "Mythology"?
When these foreigners finished watching the movie "Myth", they instantly put away their troublemaking and contemptuous hearts, and they all became serious, and they also made specific acquisition plans for the acquisition.
Of course, Ding Li was unaware of these things.
At this time, Ding Li was still thinking hard.
He was thinking about how he could maximize his interests.
In the end, after some hard thinking, Ding Li finally came up with a way that could barely be regarded as the best of both worlds.
This method is to take the shape of an auction, and let several film companies quote at the same time, and the highest price wins!
In this way, Ding Li was happy.
But Brother Pictures is very painful.
I obviously came first, and seeing that everything was discussed, I was about to sign a contract, why did several of your competitors suddenly get involved?
Do you want to pick peaches halfway?
Next.
It's still in the conference room where I met Charlie yesterday, but it's not the people from yesterday, and I can't say that it's not, but there are many more people in the conference room than yesterday.
Among these people, there are old people who met yesterday, and there are newcomers who only met today.
Ding Li smiled and looked at the acquirers sent by several film companies, then cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am very happy that the movie "Myth" was favored by your film company, and I am also very happy that you can give me this face and sit together to negotiate the purchase price. Let's not talk darkly, since you were all sent by your own company to buy the remake rights of the "Myth" movie, then I will get straight to the point. ”
When he said this, he habitually shook his fingers, "Whoever has the best sincerity, I will sell it to whomever I want." ”
Sincerity!
Although foreigners can't understand the subtle words unique to Chinese people, they also understand the general meaning of Ding Li's words.
Xindao: Speaking of the sky, isn't it who gives more money to sell it to?
Charlie of the brother film company said first: "Mr. theorem, our brother film company is the most sincere and the most powerful company in Hollywood, if you give us the remake rights of the "Myth" movie, we will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory price!"
As soon as he spoke, he offended several other film companies present.
The person in charge of the Golden Lion Film Company, which has the most fierce competition with the brother film company, immediately sneered, "Charlie, don't think we don't know anything, you already talked to Ding yesterday about the remake rights of the "Myth" movie. If you were sincere, why would you still be sitting here today? We people wouldn't be here, and in my opinion, you must want to buy the rights to the remake of "Myth" at the lowest price, right? I don't know if the price you paid was 1 million or 500,000. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Ding Li, and said seriously: "Ding, I went to the cinema yesterday to watch your "Myth", to be honest, a good movie, for the remake rights of the "Myth" movie, our Golden Lion Film Company is more sincere than the brother film company, this is the acquisition plan issued by our company, please take a look." ”
There was no need for anyone to tell him, and the accompanying staff handed the acquisition plan to Ding Li.
Ding Li's assistant reached out and took it and handed it to Ding Li.
Six million dollars.
This is the offer given by the Golden Lion Film Company, which is a million higher than the price of the brother film company.
The heads of several other film companies are not far behind, and they have talked about their intentions.
Especially a black man is the most bold.
He looked at Ding Li and said in a Beijing accent: "Mr. Ding Li, we at Fox Film Company also want the remake rights of the movie "Myth", the price is six million US dollars, plus the right of authorship. ”
The person in charge of the Wudalianhu Film Company quoted without showing weakness: "Our Wudalianhu Film Company bid 6.5 million US dollars!"
Charlie of the Brother Film Company frowned, raised his voice and shouted: "Our Brother Film Company bid 7 million, Mr. Theorem, you should know the strength of our Brother Film Company! Among the 100 classic movies in the world last year, there were 35 of our films. The remake of "Myth" is the best choice in the hands of our brother films. ”
The person in charge of the Golden Lion Film Company was unhappy, looked at Charlie and said: "Charlie, our film companies are not bad, the remake copyright of "Myth", we bid 7.5 million, no, no, no, 8 million." ”
Charlie of the brother movie was also a little unhappy at this time, and said angrily: "Everyone should pay attention to a first-come, first-come, first-come, right? Our brother is the first to come, and we are the first to consider! Moreover, in order to show his sincerity, our brother is willing to pay 10 million to buy the remake copyright of "Mythology"!"
"Charlie, now it's the one with the highest price, but not the one who comes first, our film company is willing to bid 11.5 million!"
"Twelve million. ”
"Twelve and a half million. ”
"Twelve million seven thousand. ”
"One thousand three hundred. Charlie of the brother film company was a little anxious, and after quoting a price, he immediately added, "I hope everyone will give me Charlie a face!"
Nima!
It's all competitive to this point, and you will be given a face, do you think your face is so valuable?
Everyone ignored Charlie and continued to offer, especially the Golden Lion Film Company, which was the most ruthless, "14 million." ”
In the end, it was Charlie of the brother film company who bid $22 million to buy the remake rights of the "Myth" movie.
For this result, Ding Li is naturally satisfied.
Sure enough, competition is king.
Through competition, this price was increased several times.
He was happy, but Charlie was not necessarily happy, he was originally going to bid five million for the acquisition, but in the end it was more than four times more than doubled!
