It should have been a chat with a friend in my previous life, and there happened to be a movie called "Movie Released" during that time, and the two chatted about that movie casually, and finally began to trace back as they talked, and finally found that many movies such as the inspiration came from the famous Gary Grant and Deborah Cole.

Of course, this is not the point, what Eric thinks is that the friend also accidentally mentioned that it seems that because of the popularity of the videotape, 2 million boxes were sold in a short period of time, which is a windfall for the copyright studio.

It's an old movie forty years ago, and although the two leading actors were both Hollywood superstars at the time, so much time has passed, and this movie is not like a movie like 007 that can shoot sequels indefinitely, so there is not much commercial value left, maybe one or two million can buy out all the rights to this movie. Moreover, Eric considered that he would have some authorization from the copyright owner of the filming in the future, and after the other party learned about it, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not sit on the ground and start the price, so it was better to buy all the copyrights now.

Seeing Eric's slightly excited expression when she remembered something, the girl couldn't bear it, scratched Eric's chest and hurriedly asked, "Eric, is there any good movie for me, tell me about it?"

"There are no movies, but if you want to make some money, you have a good chance," Eric picked up a pen and wrote the name of the movie on the paper, "Do you know the movie?"

Drew looked at it with wide eyes and shook his head very sincerely: "I don't know." ”

Eric could only patiently explain, "Then you always remember that I told you about my next movie, right?"

The girl nodded to the location of Nicole's room outside the study: "Of course." ”

"In the setting of that movie, the heroine Anne is very fond of watching the sales of the videotape after the release, so if you want to make money, you can use the vacation time to find a way to buy all the rights to this movie, this is an old movie from forty years ago, as long as the price is right, the film company will definitely be willing to sell it. ”

Drew has a blind trust in Eric, if Eric says this to others, it is estimated that the other party will definitely be suspicious, but Drew did not have this doubt, but asked: "But, after buying it, where can I distribute the videotape?"

"Fireflies will start to build their own distribution channels in the near future, including videotapes," Eric said, recalling the three film contracts he had signed with Fox, and feeling a little helpless and regretful.

At the beginning, he was lonely and fledgling, and many things were not too thoughtful, so when he signed the agreement, he handed over the peripheral film and television rights such as film tapes and TV broadcast rights to Fox Agency, and Firefly could only sit and wait for a share, although it looks good, after all, many movies produced by independent film companies are not even eligible for a share, and they are usually just bought out at a fixed price, and he can still enjoy the sharing treatment. But compared to doing the distribution on his own, handing over the agency to Fox is still equivalent to losing a lot of income in vain. After all, after the release process, the fame and reputation of the film have been determined, and if you can have your own videotape distribution channels, then even if it is not as comprehensive as the big companies, you can still get much more profit than you get after being cut off a big piece of cake by the giants.

Moreover, he understands through this period of time that small companies with distribution capabilities, even if they hand over the distribution rights of their films to those film giants, usually do not transfer peripheral copyrights such as videotapes, and as the proportion of peripheral income from films accounts for an increasing proportion of the total revenue of films, the income from these peripheral copyrights is likely to be an important source of funds to support a second- and third-tier film company, and those second- and third-tier film companies, if they have good film and television resources in the film library, can support the daily operation of the film company with the peripheral income obtained every year, without repeatedly drawing funds from box office revenues or investorsAs long as there are no huge losses in investment, these film companies can always survive.

Therefore, Eric is also eager to establish his own distribution channels as much as possible, and the peripheral copyrights of the next three films will definitely not be ceded out.

"But, Eric, I don't have any money. Drew blinked and looked at Eric like a goblin.

Eric couldn't help pinching the girl's white and tender face: "Don't you have a card, just swipe it, and earn your ......" Speaking of this, Eric paused, remembering that Westerners don't have a dowry, so he could only change his words: "Count your small treasury if you make it, and count it as mine." ”

"Then I'll do it," Drew leaned over and rubbed his face against Eric's face, his little mouth was about to gnaw at Eric's lips, but he was still blocked by a large hand, so he didn't mind sticking out his little tongue and licking it in Eric's palm.

"You must have been a cat in your last life, and you liked to lick people's palms so much. Eric pulled the girl off his lap: "Alright, now that you have something to do and money to make, you can go to sleep." ”

"Eric, it's been a long time since you've slept with me," the girl said with a sly expression.

"I'm a law-abiding citizen," Eric said with a look of disgust, reaching out and pushing the girl in the direction of the door, "And there's an outsider here." ”

Drew seemed pleased to hear the word 'outsider', and pounced on Eric and forcibly kissed him on the face before leaving.

Eric looked at the closed study door and shook his head with a smile, turned his attention to the monitor and began to put the finishing touches on the script, Barry Diller personally called Eric to tell Eric to pay attention to the filming process, although the American drama is filmed and broadcast at the same time, it is no exception, but it is almost August, and the TV series will start broadcasting in September, and Eric only has a month left.

"Eric, this is today's newspaper," Early the next morning, Eric returned to the living room after a routine workout, and Nicole thoughtfully placed the newspaper on the coffee table in front of Eric.

"Thank you, Nicole. Eric admired the girl's new pink maid outfit with great interest before picking up the newspaper and reading it, and Nicole went back to the kitchen to get busy.

A moment later, Eric saw the name of a movie in the newspaper, which happened to be also released in Colombia, but he didn't expect the results to be good, and, the name is, starring Billy Christo, who has hosted many Oscars, and Meg Ryan, the original heroine.

Eric still likes this actress with a very sweet smile, but it seems that the other party's star journey is very bumpy, in the final analysis, it may also be considered that this sweetheart's film selection vision is very poor, it seems that her two more successful movies are both with Tom Hanks, one is, the other is a few years later, and the others are not outstanding works.

The reason why she has a bad vision is because this sweetheart has rubbed shoulders with a series of blockbuster movies, which seems to be magical, since the nineties, she has successively refused, and even refused to let the unknown Sharon Stone soar, the reason is, of course, that she refuses to take it off, but after this sweetheart arrives in the new century, she takes it off without scruples for the transformation, and wants to imitate the success of it, and she participated in a similar type of good luck, and went directly to Java.

Looking at the box office numbers in the newspaper, it is estimated that it will make this sweetheart a little popular, because of Eric, the history of Hollywood has deviated greatly, and I don't know if this sweetheart will be as bad luck as ever in this time and space.

"Nicole, can you come over for a while?" Eric looked at the newspaper, but remembered the image of the other party in his memory, so he called out to the girl who was busy in the kitchen.

"What's the matter?" Nicole quickly walked out, still holding a small shovel in her hand.

"Well, forget it, you can get busy first, and we'll talk after breakfast. ”

"Oh," the girl turned and walked back inexplicably.

At the dinner table, Drew snorted and finished his breakfast, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and hurriedly got up to walk out.

"Come back, sit down, and finish the milk," Eric glared at the girl, pointing to the glass of milk that was mostly left, "You're in a hurry to get back to Mars, so rushed." ”

The girl reluctantly sat back in her chair and explained, "I'm going to find someone to buy the rights to that movie." ”

"Finish your breakfast," Eric repeated, ignoring Drew's explanation.

"Hmph," the girl sniffled, picked up the milk and poured it down a few sips, "That's fine." ”

"Alright, go crazy. ”

"Nasty," Drew pulled out another tissue, wiped his mouth and walked out to the door of the restaurant, suddenly turned to glare at Nicole again, and then turned his gaze to Eric, "You are not allowed to mess around when I'm not at home." ”
