Eric pushed the door and walked into the living room, and Drew, who heard the voice, immediately jumped up from the sofa and rushed into Eric's arms with an excited face, but the original smile was immediately unhappy after two small noses. As Eric dodged speechlessly, Nizi sighed disgustingly on Eric's left cheek, stretched out her sleeve and wiped it on it, before kissing it.

Eric was amused by the girl's actions, and took two steps forward to drag the little girl who was coiled around his waist and threw it into the sofa, and then sat down before asking, "Okay, what's the matter with calling me back in a hurry?" Eric said, already noticing the eye-catching black text clip on the coffee table in front of him, picked it up and opened it, and a copyright transfer contract appeared in front of Eric.

"Oh, the copyright, your actions are still quite fast, I thought it would be good if you could win it after the summer vacation."

Drew grinned and leaned on top of Eric, with his chin on Eric's shoulder: "This is Hollywood, as long as you have money, many things are much easier to do." ”

"How much did it take?" Eric asked casually as he removed the contract from the metal clip that Wen Jiàn was cladding.

"3.5 million," the girl said the price not very confidently, but quickly explained: "It's just a full copyright, permanent, and even some of the original music copyrights in it belong to us." ”

Eric nodded, if it is really as Drew said, then the price is still acceptable, even if it is used to enrich the Firefly film library, and after it becomes popular, maybe you can invest in a remake of this movie. Although Eric originally only let Drew get the copyright of the movie within five years, he can also imagine that the company that owns the copyright finally met a fat sheep who was interested in this old movie from 30 years ago, and it must be slaughtered hard, five years? If you don't sell it, you can buy it all if you want to, it's just more expensive.

Seeing Eric nodding, Drew breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain in a chatter: "This movie was originally made by an investor named Jerry Wald who started his own company, but that guy had a bad life, and he opened a film company to make a few good movies, but he died of a heart attack a few years later, and the rights to several films in his film company were also sold by his widow to another film company, and later, the film company went bankrupt and went around several times and fell into the hands of Fox." ”

"Wow," Eric almost jumped when he saw the name of the twentieth century fox in the text and heard the girl's explanation.

Drew was talking vigorously when he was startled by Eric's sudden voice, and his eyes widened and asked, "What's the ...... What's wrong, what's wrong? ”

"You mean...... The film was bought from Twentieth Century Fox? With a hint of luck in his heart, Eric asked again.

The girl's eyelashes flickered innocently twice, and she nodded her chin: "Yes?" ”

Eric smiled bitterly: "This is bad, I will definitely be hated by Fawkes in the future." ”

That night I was entangled by the little girl and couldn't do anything, Eric temporarily came up with the idea of finding a 'summer part-time job' for the girl, without considering the issue of copyright ownership at all, if it was Warner, Universal or Paramount, which had nothing to do with him, Eric didn't have any cooperation with the other party, a pit is a pit, and movies are also a business, and you have to celebrate when you make money, and you have to appoint if you are pitted.

However, I still didn't expect that the copyright was in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox. He is still in the honeymoon phase with Fox and doesn't want to stiffen the relationship between the two sides, so when Columbia wanted it, Eric explained it to Barry Diller in person and made a TV series to compensate, but the reality is always easy to joke with people, God his old man really doesn't want him to have a good relationship with Fox anymore.

If the videotape sells 2 million copies, as I heard from that friend in my previous life, it is $60 million in sales, which is equivalent to a blockbuster movie. Although film companies always claim that the profit of the videotape is less than 20 percent, and the remaining 80 percent or more is the cost, as long as you understand a little, you will know that this is nonsense, and the profit margin of the videotape can easily exceed 50 percent, which is higher than the proportion of box office profits. Then, with the videotape, Eric will be able to earn at least $30 million from the business.

Eric could almost have imagined the appearance of some people who had gone out of their way because of this situation.

Drew saw Eric's changing face and asked curiously, "How is it possible, we paid $3.5 million, and Fox made money, how could he still hate us?" ”

"yes, but although we spent more than three million, if it was less than a year, we made $30 million with this movie, what do you think Fox would think?"

The girl covered her mouth in surprise, Eric asked her to win the copyright of this movie, saying that she could make a fortune, Drew thought that it was only one or two million would be good, so when she just said the price of $3.5 million, the girl was still a little apprehensive, if she could really make 30 million......

"But...... It seems like...... Eric, Fox's people don't know that we bought it, I'm just afraid that I will be associated with you directly, so I specially found an agent, and he got the copyright and then transferred it to me, from beginning to end, Fox didn't know that we were going to buy the copyright of this movie......" Drew said, his voice getting lower and lower, and she quickly thought that if this movie made a lot of money with its influence in the future, Fox people would definitely be able to associate it with Eric as long as their IQ was fine.

Thinking of this, the girl stuck out her tongue: "So, Eric, what do we do now?" ”

Eric rubbed his temples and thought for a while, the videotape created a sales miracle will definitely be next year, and by then his contract with Fox this year has been fulfilled, don't worry that Fox will interfere with the distribution of the movie, at most when the profit is shared in the future, Fox will play a little trick, delay it and the like, but Eric is not worried, because the terms of the contract signed last year are very detailed, once Fox breaches the contract, there is no possibility of winning the lawsuit. Eric is not like those filmmakers in his previous life, the movie was a big hit, only to find that the sharing contract signed with the film company was not detailed enough, causing a dispute that lasted for several years.

"Forget it, that's it, you can't spit out the meat in your mouth, anyway, Fox sold it voluntarily, and we also offered such a high price."

"Hehe," Xiao Nizi also hugged Eric with a triumphant look and rubbed like a coquettish: "But, Eric, there is one more trivial matter......
