Chapter 13: Two Meetings (Part II)

After learning that all the copyrights of the ancient city of the King of Thorns were still in the hands of the Hibiscus Society, in fact, the various copyrights of the various comics of the Hibiscus Society were not very easy to sell, and Comrade Michael, who had come all the way from across the ocean, immediately relieved himself.

Miyahara Shizune is not very resistant to being able to adapt its comics into live-action movies, let alone adapting them into Hollywood productions.

Actually, if you don't want the work to be sold to the same extent as Jurassic Park, after all, it's a follow-up work, and it's basically impossible to reach the level of the first one, and the sequel to Jurassic Park itself can't get the results of the first part.

But as long as the movie of the ancient city of the King of Thorns can sell well, then its original work will definitely get great exposure, and with the characteristics of the Japanese --- of his own admiration, envy and love to follow the trend of American dads, the comic book of the ancient city of the King of Thorns will definitely be able to buy very well.

In fact, if a single book of comics can sell 50,000 volumes, it can basically be regarded as a best-selling work, and this sales line can knock down 90% of comics.

The original ancient city of Thorn King, the overall sales of all six volumes were about 100,000 volumes, which means that this is a niche work, and at the same time, in terms of sales, this is a street work, from the perspective of the publishing house, it is not very good to see such a work, because in addition to some word of mouth, the benefits that can be brought are actually minimal.

But if it can be made into a movie before the release of the single book, then the sales of the ancient city will definitely not be limited to this.

So after Michael's side said about the investment in the film project of the ancient city, Miyahara had no reason to object.

Of course, the other party still has two basic requirements.

First, Hibiscus should provide the entire story structure and plot of the work as soon as possible, whether it is text, manga or storyboard, and only provide a Japanese version.

Second, the matter of the sale of copyrights, the Hibiscus Society should keep it secret for the time being, and it will not be able to disclose the news until the Colombian side starts to do publicity.

The other party only asked the Hibiscus Society to provide the original work, but for the script adaptation of the movie, they invited the original author to participate in this kind of thing, and they didn't even mention it.

This means that after they win the original work, they will definitely make a big change to it, and what it can be changed in the end, not only Miyahara Jing doesn't count, but it is estimated that the other party doesn't know now.

For example, they already have a basic idea that the two protagonists in the original work are a pair of female twins, but in order to strengthen the audience's acceptance, the gender of the two protagonists may be changed to a pair of male twins.

Of course, they still have to be reliable when they make changes - if they don't want to waste that big investment. If they could really guarantee that kind of investment, there would be no need for Miyahara to worry about the script at all, or people just wanted to buy his copyright, and the script would not allow this side to interfere at all.

Michael said something to Jun Miyahara, Jun Miyahara nodded, and then said to Jing Miyahara:

"Jing, this Mr. Michael said that they hope to reach an agreement with the Hibiscus Society as soon as possible, get the film copyright as soon as possible, and then adapt the script as soon as possible and enter the preparation stage."

Miyahara was stunned, why did she look so anxious?

After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately understood.

"You want to shoot this theme, probably because you saw Jurassic Park, which was a success in the world last year, right?"

Jurassic Park is a work that can brush up on the global box office of one billion, and it is also the first movie to exceed a billion box office.

"And then you found the ancient city, a manga with potential adaptation, so you want to meet the universe?"

"Slowly, slowly, let me think...... Are you in a hurry to start filming, do you want to release Jurassic Park II before it? Exploit the audience's anti-expectations for this genre to make a big profit? ā€

It's not very nice to say, but it's a typical act of grabbing.

"So you still have to start filming secretly and try to cover up the news of this movie?"

Miyahara had guessed so much just by saying a few words, and amazingly, he had basically guessed all the things he had guessed.

So Lao Mei was shocked.

This kind of imagination or speculation goes a long way to explain why Columbia wanted to start filming this movie as soon as possible, because they really wanted to compete with Jurassic Park for the second time.

It's just that which director are they going to use to fight Spielberg?

"He asked you if you were the president of a comic book publishing house or a detective at a detective agency." Jun Miyahara said again.

"You tell him I'm an all-powerful artist." Miyahara said with a smile.

"President Miyahara is a president with a lot of imagination."

Miyahara Jing knew that her sister would not react according to her own words, although he said that his English was not very good, but he could pass the fourth or sixth level, and he could still understand a few simple dialogues.

After the intention of cooperation can be basically determined, the next step is more practical.

"We are willing to spend $1 million to buy the film and television rights of the ancient city of Thorn King and the rights of film and television peripherals."

The price of 1 million, that is, about 100 million yen, to be honest, makes Miyahara Jing very satisfied, but this cannot be said to be Columbia Pictures' wronged, even if the copyright of the ancient city is not worth this price, the other party will not push the price too low.

It's a matter of value choice, the investment in the script should be commensurate with the basic investment in the film, for example, a film with an investment of $100 million, and the news breaks that its script is only worth $50,000, what do you make people who know the news think?

First. The film companies are bragging, they exaggerate the production cost, and they brag very much, and the producers have this attitude, so this movie may be a bad movie.

Second. Although the movie really has a lot of investment, this script is worth 50,000 yuan, so the movie uses a bad script that is only worth 50,000 US dollars, so it is a bad movie.

A good horse with a good saddle, in order not to make the audience feel that the movie is a bad movie before it is released, they still have to spend the money on copyright.

Nowadays, Hibiscus Society is indeed a little short of money, but 100 million yen is useless, so instead of accepting this money, Miyahara Jing might as well take a gamble.

"Sister Chun, you ask him, can we choose a box office share?"

Jun Miyahara nodded, and then said his brother's question.

"He said yes, they can give 2%."

"Two percent of the box office?" Miyahara doesn't know how much of a Hollywood script can be shared, but proportionally speaking, this two percent is obviously worth more than $1 million.

"No, it's two percent of the profits."

This is not very friendly, with a profit share of two percent, that is, even one percent of the box office.

Miyahara Jing thought about it, although there was also a profit share, but he still wanted to fight for it, so he said: "We accept the choice of profit sharing, but this ratio needs to be discussed again." ā€

The two sides only met preliminarily today, and will not sign a formal contract, and even if they can reach a preliminary consensus, even if they succeed, there will be no too much tension if there are differences.

However, since Colombia is a little anxious now, then Miyahara Jing can be a little more reserved.
