Arenas's treatment of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" seems to be very good, this year, although there are a lot of films exported from China, most of them are sold at a cabbage price, and only Chinese film and television giants like Dongying Group, which has Hollywood capital behind it, can enjoy similar terms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Dianjin Film and Television is very influential in China, in North America, there are no works that can be taken for the time being.

Foreigners are very real and snobbish, so even if Dianjin Film and Television asks Hasbao Pictures for help, they can't actually get any good treatment.

Of course, after the release of "Transformers", that will be another matter.

And "Transformers" itself is related to the interests of the Baby Group, so Ye Qiu is not worried that Baby Pictures will not make any efforts.

But "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" may not be.

And Arenas seems to be giving good conditions, but in fact, for Jushi Pictures, it is a drought and flood to ensure income, because no matter how well "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" at the box office in North America, Jushi Pictures is just a difference between making less and earning more.

He is wishful thinking, of course, if Ye Qiu is very optimistic about the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" in North America, then he will really agree to such cooperation conditions, but Ye Qiu is very confident in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" in China, and also in the Chinese pan-cultural region of Southeast Asia, but he has no confidence in the North American market at all.

In Ye Qiu's opinion, even if he takes advantage of this trend of adventure, it is difficult for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon" to succeed in North America.

Not only in North America, but in the entire European and American regions, Ye Qiu did not have much expectations.

This is also why, Ye Qiu didn't go to Habao Pictures, which had a good cooperative relationship, because if the first cooperation made Habao suffer, it would definitely have a bad impact on the follow-up cooperation.

So Ye Qiu used Arenas' bad reputation in China as an excuse, but Arenas didn't have him.

"MR Ye, I wonder if there's another way to work together?" asked Arenas, confused.

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" is an adaptation of my novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it can be said that there is my hard work in it, each work can be regarded as a child for every author, I am very confident in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", but in the North American market, we have no experience in running this kind of big production, Mr. Arenas's conditions are very good, but Mr. Arenas, with all due respect, because you have a criminal record in China, it is difficult for me to fully trust you. Ye Qiu said unceremoniously.

"So, Mr. Arenas, the first time we cooperate, I hope there will be no worries, so how can we make sure that both parties don't have any worries?" Ye Qiu said again.

"MR Ye, please speak up. Arenas was a little dizzy by Ye Qiu.

"Mr. Arenas, are you interested in directly buying out the North American distribution rights, videotape distribution rights, and even European distribution rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Dragon Hunting"?" Ye Qiu asked a question that made Arenas frown.

He even began to have some doubts, did Ye Qiu really have that confidence in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon"? If he was really confident, then the conditions he proposed before were undoubtedly the best way to cooperate.

Instead of doing a hammer deal as Ye Qiu said.

Of course, there may also be reasons for his bad reputation in China before, but it is still difficult for Arenas to have such doubts.

"I don't know what kind of price do you want to get?" asked Arenas tentatively.

"How about 20 million US dollars?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Shhh

$20 million? What are you kidding? If Arenas proposed the terms of cooperation, $20 million, it would need to get more than $100 million at the box office in Europe and the United States to be able to do it, and this does not include the publicity costs.

And Huaguo's movies can be said to be unique with such achievements.

"It's impossible, Ye, this price is too high. Arenas shook his head immediately.

"Mr. Arenas, don't worry, if Arenas thinks the price is too high, then Mr. Arenas, how much can you expect from Megalith Pictures?" Ye Qiu asked with a discussant look.

"If you buy out the distribution rights in North America, I think $6 million is a very good number. Ye, you must know that "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" is a movie that has not been tested by the market after all, so 6 million is already a very sincere number. Arenas said.

"Okay, then take the price range of $6 million - $20 million as the standard, I wonder if Mr. Arenas is interested in gambling?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Take a bet, Ye, do you mean it?" Arenas was a little confused.

"Yes, it's a bet, how about a minimum of $6 million and a maximum of $20 million?" Ye Qiu asked.

"I don't know how to bet?" Arenas was a little confused.

"How about taking the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" in China as a bet?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Didn't Mr. Arenas say that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" has not been tested by the market?

"What's the baseline?" Arenas asked, regretting in his heart that he had opened a price that was too high.

"With the box office of 300 million Chinese dollars as the benchmark, for every additional 20 million Chinese dollars at the box office, the buyout price will be 1 million US dollars more, and the cap will be 20 million US dollars, how about it?" Ye Qiu said as he looked at Arenas.

Arenas mentally pondered the feasibility of this VAM agreement.

After a while, Arenas smiled and said: "Ye, I think that since we have made a bet, then we can't use 6 million US dollars as the minimum benchmark, 300 million Chinese dollars as the box office benchmark, but if there is only 300 million Chinese dollars at the box office, then I think we can only give 1 million US dollars as a buyout price, and for every additional 100 million Chinese dollars in the box office in the future, we can add 5 million US dollars to the buyout fee, and the cap is 20 million US dollars!" Arenas looked at Ye Qiu and said.

He is also testing Ye Qiu, how much confidence he has in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".

"I can agree to Mr. Arenas's conditions, but since 6 million is not the minimum buyout price, is it not appropriate to cap 20 million US dollars? Ye Qiu also scolded back.

With a box office of 300 million, you only pay $1 million, okay, then there is no cap.

At present, the highest box office in China is created by a Hollywood blockbuster, and it is still less than 6 Chinese dollars at the box office.

And if "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" reaches a box office of 600 million Chinese dollars, it also means that Jushi Pictures only needs 16 million US dollars to win.

So Arenas thought about it for a moment and nodded.

In Arenas's view, if "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" can really become the highest-grossing film in Chinese history, then it is estimated to be about 600 million, and it is definitely a sure profit to win the distribution rights of the highest-grossing film in Chinese history in Europe and the United States with 16 million US dollars.

As for the cap of 20 million, in Arenas's opinion, it is unlikely to be reached.
