How popular is Jurassic Park on Earth?

Lin Han couldn't tell, anyway, the name has left a deep impression in the hearts of several generations, and it seems that even dinosaur fossils and paleontology have become popular, and some originally deserted museums have made a lot of money from tickets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"In that case, should we sign an IP option?" Jack Harrison made up his mind that he couldn't let this cash cow leave anyway, and it was more secure to set an option first.

Owning an IP option does not mean that you fully own the copyright, but rather spending money to buy time. Paramount is now optimistic about the copyright of "Jurassic Park", and wants to negotiate with Lin Han, the copyright owner, to spend a certain amount of money to ensure the exclusive development right within the specified time.

Compared with directly spending a lot of money to buy copyrights, having such an IP option can give Paramount more time for evaluation and development, and the price will be much cheaper.

However, the duration of this agreement is usually very short, generally one to one and a half years in the United States, and then the contract can be renewed, because the time period for script development and casting is relatively long.

The cost of an IP option is paid in two installments, the first is an upfront payment, which accounts for about 5%-10% of the total cost of the entire copyright purchase. This part of the money will not be refunded, regardless of the development of the project, the IP purchase will not be refunded.

The second is a one-time payment, which is equivalent to buying the IP copyright. If the film ends up being made and addicted, there are terms of option agreements that require the producer to pay 2-5% of the net profit of the original rights holder.

In order to maximize their participation in the creation of films, many copyright holders are not even willing to ask for it, but try to ensure that they control the copyright as much as possible.

It's not that no one wants the IP of "Jurassic Park", Paramount wants to tie Lin Han, but Lin Han doesn't want to do this.

He shook his head and replied, "I agree to develop the full copyright of the novel together, and the rest of the forms of cooperation are not discussed." I will send the following story and synopsis to your mailbox, I suggest you evaluate it carefully, and then there are some of my suggestions and visions for full copyright development. ”

Perhaps Paramount himself didn't think about the value of developing a novel in 360°, they only thought about part of it, so they thought that Lin Han would succumb to the dollar offensive.

"In any case, we are very sincere." Jack Harrison once again emphasized his original intention, business is not benevolent.

Lin Han grinned, "I want to see greater sincerity, maybe you will know where to find me." ”

Jack Harrison felt that Lin Han was not at all different from other writers, many writers in the United States heard that Paramount had taken a fancy to their novels, and many people only needed to spend 100,200,000 US dollars to get the copyright, and Lin Han didn't even care about 10 million US dollars.

It's true, you can make five or six billion dollars in the next few decades, why that 10 million?

"I don't know if you've noticed, Mr. Harrison, the current changes in sales of dinosaur albums and dinosaur introduction children's books in China." Lin Han took out the data he specially sorted out from the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication, "The sales level of these books has been stable for several years, and the line chart can see that it is basically a horizontal line." ”

However, Jack Harrison's eyes were fixed on the small upward corner behind him, and he vaguely guessed what Lin Han was going to say.

"The dinosaur illustrated book, which has maintained a stable sales state all year round, rose slightly in June, although the increase was only about 10%, but it was not long after the release of my novel. Novels alone can cause the sale of these surrounding books, if after the movie is released, will you want to know the specific information about the dinosaurs in the movie, if there happen to be dinosaurs and amber in the same proportion at the right price in the movie theater, would you like to buy one? ”

Lin Han laughed lightly, "What we have to do now is to lead the dinosaur culture and set off the trend of dinosaur culture, so that many people will join the trend consciously or unconsciously, and then we can show all this plan." ”

The current dinosaur is just a quiet supporting role in the field of monster movies, and has never played the leading role. These land and sea tyrants, who dominated the planet tens of millions of years ago, deserve even more treatment.

Dinosaurs are the eternal protagonists in "Jurassic Park", whether it is the realistic and shocking Tyrannosaurus rex, or the insidious velociraptor, the gentle and cute Brachiosaurus, the rough-skinned triceratops, and the cowardly chicken dragon, each dinosaur has been resurrected from the ancient Jurassic era and rampaged in the park.

Dinosaurs eat people, amusement park dinosaurs fight each other, and velociraptors torture and kill humans, and the thrilling scenes can feel a trace of coolness slowly rising from the tail vertebrae from the text.

Kids love dinosaurs, but Jurassic Park isn't necessarily for them, it's a thriller and gore sci-fi film with many spooky plots. But there are always kids who can't help but peek, and it's too appealing to them.

Regardless of their age, readers are eager to experience a thrilling adventure like Jurassic Park, learning about archaeology and biological sciences that will continue even after reading the novel.

Novels and movies are not enough to completely form a dinosaur culture, and comics, video games, and theme park attractions are also important support for the world's dinosaur craze.

In fact, there are 7 sets of comics around "Jurassic Park" that Lin Han knows alone, and there are some rebooted comics that he has not read.

As for video games, not only "The Lost World: Jurassic Park", "Jurassic Park: Gene Project", etc., but even Blizzard's Warcraft has someone who has specially made a Jurassic Park series of RPG maps, which has been a small hit.

In addition, piecing together different types of dinosaurs with LEGO toys is probably one of the most popular challenges for kids.

Nowadays, the recognition and popularization of dinosaur culture is no less than that of other animal cultures, and these special species from ancient times have entered the side of many parents and children through documentaries, encyclopedias and other audio-visual forms.

The external conditions are ripe, and Lin Han believes that Paramount will make the right choice, and it is not an exaggeration for him to ask for 10% of the total return, unless the other party wants to launch a knockoff like "Cretaceous Paradise".

A perfect blend of monsters and disasters, Lin Han is looking forward to what kind of light this film on Earth will shine! (To be continued.) )
