Yang Chuan thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how much Director Howard is willing to pay me to buy the film and television rights of """?" ”

"I'll give you five million dollars!" Howard said with a smile.

Five million dollars?!

Buying the film and television copyright of a work of 5 million US dollars is indeed a high price, about more than 40 million Huaxia coins.

Yang Chuan frowned and said, "Mr. Howard, five million dollars seems to be a bit too low. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Howard was a little surprised and said: "Yang, five million dollars to buy the film and television rights of a work is already a high price in Hollywood, I really don't know how much money you want to sell." ”

Davis on the side also persuaded: "Yang, it's true that five million dollars is not low, you should think about it." ”

It is indeed not low to buy the film and television rights of a work for five million US dollars, but Yang Chuan knows that his work "" is far more than five million after it is made into a movie, and the box office and other revenues it generates are as high as 10 billion US dollars.

It is impossible for Yang Chuan to take only five million for himself, and then let these big-nosed foreigners make a lot of money by making a movie about "", and put the movie in Huaxia to make money from Chinese people, so wouldn't he be a fool? Update Chapter 403 "" Film and Television Copyright To tell the truth, "The Da Vinci Code" sold the film and television copyright for two million US dollars, and Yang Chuan now feels very lost.

Yang Chuan smiled and said: "Director Howard, Mr. Davis, I think you also know that if the book is adapted into a movie, I believe that its box office can reach billions of dollars, and I only take five million is indeed a bit low." ”

Howard frowned and asked, "Yang, I don't know how much you are willing to sell me the film and television rights of "". ”

"Hehe~!" Yang Chuan chuckled and said, "Director Howard, since you are the vice president of Columbia Film and Television Group, then I want to transfer the film and television copyright of "" to you in another way. ”

Howard asked suspiciously, "Yang." I don't know what you mean the other way? ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "I want to sign a transfer agreement with director Howard for the film and television adaptation rights, but the agreement must stipulate that after the filming of the film is completed, I will get one percent of its box office revenue." ”

"One percent?!"

For Yang Chuan's request, Howard was taken aback.

To be honest, Howard really didn't expect that Yang Chuan would cooperate with him in film and television copyright in this way. Update Chapter 403 "" Film and Television Copyright Howard was puzzled and said, "Yang. I'm a little confused by your request. If the box office of "" is a billion dollars. Then you'll only get a million dollars, which is a lot less than the five million I gave you. ”

Of course Yang Chuan knows, but he understands that the global box office of "" is far more than a billion dollars.

"Huh!" Yang Chuan chuckled and said, "Director Howard." Don't worry, I won't let myself do a loss-making business, let me tell you! I will publish a series of follow-up works for this book, so in terms of long-term benefits, it is far more cost-effective than a one-time film and television copyright buyout, and I am confident that "" will definitely earn tens of billions of box office if it is reflected. ”

Upon hearing this, Howard said helplessly: "Okay! Since you are so insistent. Then draw up the contract as you say. ”

Hearing that Howard agreed to his request, Yang Chuan's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

Soon, the contract between the two parties was drawn up and each signed their own names.

After Howard signed the contract, he looked at Yang Chuan and said: "Yang, don't blame me for not reminding you, if the box office of "" is not satisfactory after it is filmed into a movie, then the copyright income you get will be greatly reduced." ”…

Yang Chuan said confidently: "Director Howard, don't worry, I have confidence in my work." ”

Seeing Yang Chuan so confident. Howard could only stop talking depressedly.

At this time, Howard did not know that the total global box office revenue of the "" series of movies in the future would reach tens of billions of dollars, and Yang Chuan also made him a billionaire because of today's decision.

After seeing that the two parties signed the contract, Davis on the side said: "Yang, in the future, the copyright of your work will be handed over to our company according to the contract, and our company will raise a certain proportion of the copyright income." ”

Yang Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Davis." Since we have signed a contract with Starbucks before, all the copyrights of my work will be handled by Simon Publishing Group in the future, but I hope you will do the same. ”

Davis nodded and said, "This is natural~!" ”

Suddenly, Howard asked, "Yang, I heard that you are still an actor and singer in Huaxia, right?" ”

"Yes~!" Yang Chuan replied.

Howard said happily: "Great! I don't know how you act? Are you interested in coming to Hollywood? ”

Forehead? Come to Hollywood!

To tell the truth, Yang Chuan really didn't think about the development of Hollywood in the past, after all, his reputation in China is still very limited, and his acting skills are not very good now, if he rushes to Hollywood, it is unlikely that he will have a good development.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Chuan shook his head and refused: "No, Mr. Howard, I want to develop well in Huaxia first, and when the time comes, I will naturally enter Hollywood, and I hope you can help me a lot at that time." ”

Seeing that Yang Chuan was reluctant to go to Hollywood for development, Howard said helplessly: "Okay! If you want to go to Hollywood in the future, you can contact me, I believe this is only our first time working together, and it will never be our last. ”

After saying this, Howard looked at Davis and said, "Davis, if there is a new secretary in Yang Chuan in the future, you have to show me first." ”

Davis laughed: "That's natural, after all, we've been friends for many years." ”

Just as the three of them were talking, suddenly the door to the room was pushed open.

Yang Chuan turned his head to look and saw two foreigners, a man and a woman, walking in from outside the door, the man was straight in a suit and looked very handsome, while the woman was very charming and sexy with red hair.

Howard looked at the two of them and asked with some confusion, "Tom, Audrey, why are you two here?" ”

The man replied: "Director, the film promotion campaign is about to start, and now there are more than 100 reporters outside." ”

"Oh, okay~!" Howard nodded and pointed at Yang Chuan and said, "Let me introduce you two, he is Yang Chuan, the author of the book "The Da Vinci Code", this is a magical oriental boy. ”

The woman was surprised when she heard Howard's words and exclaimed, "Oh God! I really didn't expect that the person who wrote the book "The Da Vinci Code" would be an oriental teenager, you must know that this book is too researched about the Western cultural background. ”

Howard pointed to Yang Chuan and introduced the two: "Yang, these two people are the stars of "The Da Vinci Code", and the man is called Tom. Hanks, the woman's name is Audrey. Tatu. ”

What the?!

After hearing the names of the two people, Yang Chuan was completely stunned because these two people were so famous.
