To be honest, Lin Han doesn't want to sell the copyright of any of his films outside, after all, there are too few directors who can shoot the essence of it.

Not every movie can achieve a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth like "Jurassic Park" and "The Martian".

Now Galaxy Pictures is not short of money, and the previous sale of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "The Wandering Earth" was just to raise money to make a movie!

Of course, Xu Jiayan hopes that Hollywood will have more blockbusters like Lin Han, and he said with a smile: "Why do you have to worry about copyright trading? Can't we just develop it together? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Lin Han suddenly woke up.

That's right!

I don't want to sell the copyright to this rich second-generation gentleman, and the other party has a certain network and money in Hollywood, so why not cooperate in development?

It's a win-win.

Lin Han can't spare so much time himself, and he doesn't want to hand over the copyright indiscriminately, so it's a good thing to bring David Ellison along.

At least he won't dictate to the crew like those top big companies in Hollywood, you must know that Hollywood's first-class directors can't have the right to speak, let alone someone like Zhang Chu who only has half a foot in it.

After ending the call with Xu Jiayan, Lin Han quickly dialed Miao Hong's mobile phone, he wanted to get these things done as soon as possible, so that he could have time to welcome the birth of his first child.

"Boss, you still have time to call me in the last two days."

Miao Hong said with a chuckle, now the entire Galaxy Pictures employees know that their boss has been with the boss to give birth, and they don't know whether it will be a little princess or a little prince.

Lin Han replied, "I called to ask if you know David Ellison. ”

"Of course I know that the two of them are the top rich second generation in the United States, and it is not derogatory." Before Miao Hong returned to China, he was an executive of a large Hollywood company, and it was normal to know these people.

"Boss, what do you ask him to do? Is there any kind of cooperation? ”

Miao Hong's business sense is not insensitive, and he guessed it right with just one question.

Lin Han didn't deny it, he pondered and said: "Lao Xu called me from the United States just now, and he was helping David match. That guy wants to buy the movie rights in my hands. ”

"It's definitely not cost-effective to sell it directly!"

"yes, so I'm going to work with his production company to develop these projects, and then you can help me contact to see if the two companies can produce together, and if the work is played, he can choose and convert the copyright of the work into the investment."

Miao Hong's spirits are lifted, this is already another big move of Galaxy Pictures recently, if it is revealed, it is estimated that the Chinese film industry will be shocked.

"Jurassic Park 2" with Paramount is already in post-production, and Spielberg's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" will also be released next year, all in cooperation with major companies.

But Galaxy Pictures has very little say and dividends in it, let alone dividends from peripheral products!

In recent years, the peripheral sales of Hollywood blockbusters have sometimes even exceeded their own box office, and some strong works can sell billions of dollars a year.

Disney's Mickey is so popular with Minnie Mouse, why didn't he make a movie?

Because they are so profitable, Disney people don't dare to take these two people out to make movies, and if word of mouth is smashed, billions of dollars in peripheral sales a year may plummet.

No one dares to take such a risk!

Miao Hong is quite greedy for those peripheral products, in the peripherals of "Jurassic Park", his own boss only accounts for 5% of the dividends, and Rao is so he also gets tens of millions of dollars a year.

The peripheral development of "The Matrix" is much inferior, because domestic companies are not mature in this area, and almost all of them are crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Even in a state of ignorance, stimulated by one or two movies, the Matrix has made more than a billion dollars around it!

I believe that after the launch of "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution", there will be an explosion in peripheral sales.

It is the king to occupy the box office dividends and peripheral dividends of these products by yourself, and you have to bargain for half a year or even more if you can sell 5% of the copyright, and you can occupy at least one-third or even higher proportion if you invest yourself!

Miao Hong excitedly issued a military order: "Boss, you can leave this matter to me." If you don't gnaw a piece of meat from David, I'm sorry for our work. ”

"But what you said, I'm waiting for your good news!"

There are many Hollywood scripts, many of which are excellent, but the scripts that can be commercially successful are precisely those blockbusters with simple plots, and the vast majority of box office blockbusters are not big hits because of the script.

They need a script with a gimmick that will appeal to the audience, and those with a large readership are the best choice, especially fantasy books.

In recent years, fantasy movies and science fiction movies have been able to occupy the top of the box office list every year, and Zhang Chu's science fiction has become famous all over the world, and choosing his works means half the success!

In Hollywood, the price of Zhang Chu's sci-fi rights now starts at tens of millions of dollars, and if it does not have box office and peripheral dividends, Galaxy Pictures is not willing to join the negotiations at all.

The horror asking price is higher than Stephen King's, after all, the horror audience is smaller, and the film adaptation does not hit a billion dollars at the box office.

Zhang Chu's prices are supported by successful works, and it is not that he has opened his mouth.

After Miao hung up the phone, he immediately called his secretary and asked her to book him a plane ticket to Los Angeles.

He is going to meet directly with David Ellison to discuss in detail, any of Zhang Chu's science fiction works are a bit grandiose, and the cost of adapting them into movies will start at least one or two hundred million dollars.

Therefore, both parties must be cautious, this is a key step for Galaxy Pictures to truly step into Hollywood, and there is no room for mistakes!

Now Zhang Chu's film copyrights are actually not too much, but they are all the top ones.

"The Three-Body Problem", "Hyperion", "Inception", "Interstellar", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Charlotte's Web", etc., any one thrown out can make Hollywood's big companies compete with each other.

Don't look at the many works he has written over the years, but many of them are in the same series, such as "The Three-Body Problem", "Hyperion" has currently written two, and the second part of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is also planned.

"Since you want to accompany your wife to confinement, you might as well write a new book!"

It is impossible for Lin Han to run out to make movies in these days, staying at home with his wife and children is the best choice, and the work he can do at home is to write books.
