"What kind of film is Director Ma preparing?"

Li Fanyu handed the menu to Zhou Qingyu and asked.

"I know, I know!" He found a comic strip in the Hollywood script library about cars turning into robots, saying that he wanted to buy the rights and make a sci-fi action blockbuster!" Before Zhou could answer softly, Joey, who had clicked a lot and bullied, raised his hand and rushed to answer.

Smack!

The mobile phone Li Fanyu was holding in his hand fell on the table.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Fanyu's surprised look, Zhou asked in confusion.

"Ahh

Li Fanyu came back to his senses and quickly picked up the phone from the plate.

a chicken!

When he found out that the movies in this time and space had changed a lot due to the butterfly effect, the first thing he thought of was the "Transformers" series of movies. But at that time, resources were limited, and this kind of sci-fi required a lot of three-dimensional production, and Zhengxin did not have this resource in his hand. If you want to forcibly copy the Transformers, then the investment is huge.

But now that Zhengxin has the existence of stupidity, he can work on all kinds of rendering and production without pressure, and Ma Rao actually took a fancy to this theme!

No, this opportunity cannot be missed!

Li Fanyu thought so in his heart.

Transformers, a movie based on a comic book, not to mention the quality and effect. The impact on the automotive industry alone is too great!

In the previous time and space, the first part of Transformers achieved a staggering amount of sponsorship fees from car manufacturers. But with the popularity of the film, the prototype of the Bumblebee, that is, the Chevrolet Camallow, and the barricade of the Decepticon camp, that is, the Ford Mustang, directly became popular in China.

If it weren't for the prototype of Optimus Prime, the Peterbilt 389 towing truck, the head of the trailer would not have been sold, it would have been a hot rhythm.

。

It is no exaggeration to say that there are only two films in the history of cinema that have had such a profound impact on the automotive industry - the other step is the famous "Fast and Furious" that already exists in this time and space.

At this time, Li Fanyu was broken, and Ma Rao's good direction should be action movies. But I don't know if it was influenced by myself that made this guy interested in commercial movies with car themes.

Thinking of this, he made an apologetic gesture to Zhou Qingyu and Qiao Ai, directly picked up the electrification, and called Ma Rao.

Because of the concern of jet lag, Ma Rao on the other side of the phone didn't seem to have woken up yet.

Seeing that it was Li Fanyu's phone, although the tone on the other side of the phone was a little weaker, he was still very happy: "Hey, Xiaofan, why are you so idle and take the initiative to call me?"

"Aha," Li Fanyu snorted, "I'm with Qingyu and Xiao Ai, I heard the two of them say, you are preparing a film recently?"

"Yo, you're pretty well informed. But......... Hey, it's hard to say," Ma Rao sighed on the other end of the phone.

Yoh?

Hearing that there seemed to be something unspeakable in Ma Rao's words, Li Fanyu came to his senses.

Look, it looks like the preparations are not going well?

"What, is something wrong?" he asked.

Ma Rao sighed and scolded, "Don't mention it, damn." That film is very promising, and it is very suitable for making a commercial blockbuster. But the copyright is too complicated, and I haven't been able to get it down for more than two months. ”

"Oh?" Li Fanyu twitched, he felt that he was ...... Looks like there's still a chance to meddle!

"Tell me, what kind of complicated method is it? Xiao Ai told me about this script just now, and I think it's quite suitable for us to do brand marketing. If we can buy it for a little money, then let's do it together!"

"You kid, you're thinking about it quickly, and I haven't moved here, so you just came over and played with me, right?" Ma Rao teased him, and then sighed again, and said: "This copyright, originally belonged to Hasbro, Hasbro made the first batch of Transformers toys and achieved good sales in the American toy market, and then was favored by Japan's T Society and bought part of the toy copyright." With the popularity of T Society's toys in Japan, he was later photographed by H Society, and after buying the copyright, he made a set of worldviews and threw them to Marvel. Later, he made his own animation, and then parted ways with Marvel due to disagreements, and the animation was left to the T Society. But after the Japanese version of the era was brought out, it didn't work, and Hasbro did it itself, but part of the copyright was hidden in two Japanese companies. The current copyright belongs to the Three Kingdoms War. It's not easy to take it down!"

Li Fanyu scoffed at this statement, "Isn't it just about money! How much do they drive?"

"Heh! Sure enough, it's a Zhengxin Li Dongha? This rich man just speaks differently. Guess how much they cost, though?" Marao quipped.

"How much? eight million, ten million?" Li Fanyu tentatively.

"Shit! The Hasbro family alone costs five million dollars! That's it, and you have to ask for 15 percent of the box office of the movie!" Ma Rao said with anger: "Fuck, such a movie, the script alone costs more than 10 million US dollars, and it also scores out 78/10 of the box office share, what is left?"

I'm the next Olympics!

Li Fanyu really didn't expect that the copyright of such a comic would be so valuable!

"Well, is this negotiable? If you buy the copyright, you must have a bag in your head!" he said.

Li Fanyu claims to be rich, but if he has money, he can't use it to waste! Damn, the cost of a movie alone is more than 10 million US dollars, nearly 100 million yuan, plus the actors' salaries and production costs, even if it costs 200 million.

The cost of such a movie, if it is divided into theaters and directors by the director, if the box office does not have more than 100 million yuan, it will definitely not make a profit!

Oh, the copyright owner of the special script has to share it.

There is no 1.5 billion box office foundation, blood loss!

Li Fanyu instantly understood this account.

"Who says it's not!" Ma Rao smiled bitterly: "Now the sales of the Transformers series of toys are no longer good, and it is estimated that the three companies want to use the copyright to make the last money." wants to rely on this copyright fee to recover the cost of their previous bad debts, and completely get rid of the IP of Transformers. Obviously, what I fancy is the copyright of comics.,Do you have to bring any toys and other full copyrights.,Do you say it's a big fire?"

Toy?

Other?

Well......

After Ma Rao said this, Li Fan was stunned.

"Director Ma, you said that what they want to sell is full copyright?" Li Fanyu asked.

"That's right, it's not just comic copyrights. But you say, I'm a moviemaker, why do I buy toy rights?"

"Give them eight million for their family, without a share. I want this copyright!" Without waiting for Ma Rao to finish speaking, Li Fanyu directly waved his hand, showing his pride.
