110 Negotiations with Fox

(Thanks to my friend for the warm winter and Brother S for his encouragement)

The next day, Liu Anran slept a little, and then went to Fox Radio to make an appointment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In addition to George, Fang Yufu and the three bodyguards are also in the company.

What made Liu Anran a little depressed was that although his bodyguard Peacock changed back to his normal outfit, he still looked very angry. This is also something that can't be helped, who makes people in good shape.

"Andy, you're finally back, I've been in a hurry. Are you done with your script? In fact, it is completely possible to write a part of it first, and then adjust it. "Kiefer who was waiting here early? Sutherland hurriedly ran over and asked after seeing Liu Anran coming.

The last time it was just a simple contact, he heard Liu Anran roughly recite the plot of "Twenty-Four Hours of Counter-Terrorism", and he liked it all of a sudden. He is also personally responsible for the contact with Fox Radio, and he is also very optimistic about this series.

However, there was no news after Liu Anran finished speaking, but when communicating in the middle, Liu Anran said that he wanted to get out the entire plot of the first season. Can this give Kiefer? Sutherland was in a hurry, and was very worried that Liu Anran would sell this series to other TV companies, and he would not be able to get the starring role.

"Kiefer, don't worry, I said, Jack in this film? Bauer is yours and yours, and no one can snatch it. The right role must also be shaped by the right actor. "Liu Anran patted Kiefer? Sutherland's shoulder said.

"The main reason is that I didn't plan to hand over this series to Fox TV to shoot, but it was produced by my company, and they broadcast it, which is a cooperative relationship, so the script of the first season can't just give a rough idea and do it while filming as usual."

He's not fooling, Jack? Bauer in Kiefer? Sutherland's rendition has indeed become a classic. Don't look at Robert Jr.? Donnie is more famous than him, but if he is replaced by Robert Jr.? Donnie to play Jack? Bauer, there will definitely be a little less feeling.

"Hello, Director Andy. I've heard your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so young, it's really amazing. Anderson, a producer at Fox Radio and Television, said with a laugh.

"Anderson, that's why I contacted you Fox directly, instead of going to HBO or TNT." Liu Anran also said with a smile.

He can't help it, now that his strength is weak, these big companies really can't afford to offend.

"Mr. Andy, in fact, I have always wanted to consult with you if it is possible to sell this script to us, and we can give you a 5% profit share." Anderson spoke again.

"Anderson, thank you for your attention. However, I plan to let my company take care of the production of this series. Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"I put a lot of effort into writing this script, and I plan to invest about a million dollars in the production cost of each episode. It's not just a TV series, I'm going to shoot it according to the model of a movie. ”

Anderson frowned and nodded, understanding what Liu Anran said.

He has also been collecting Liu Anran's information, wanting to see if the "Sniper Phone Booth" that he snatched at the beginning was accidental or intentional.

And the success of "Ghost Shadow" made him pay attention to it again. If it's someone else, you like to sell it or not, and you don't sell it. But it's different with Liu Anran, his first movies were so successful, and this time he wrote the screenplay himself, and it was very good to listen to this story when he called, and it also aroused his interest.

"Mr. Andy, how do you plan to work together?" Anderson asked again.

"I grant you the exclusive right to broadcast the TV station in the United States, and I want 40% of the additional income after the broadcast." Liu Anran said.

"Mr. Andy, that's too high." Anderson shook his head.

"No, I'm not asking for anything at all. 40% is just the percentage of the first season, I can give you the right of first refusal to renew the second season, and we will talk about the second season according to the ratings of the first season. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"If the first season is successful, I think in the future, the actors' salaries will increase accordingly, and the production costs will increase in the future. After all, I had to invest at least $24 million in the production cost of this series. ”

"Mr. Anderson, you don't have to make a decision too hastily, you can wait until we make a two-episode demo before considering it." Seeing that Anderson was still frowning and silent, Liu Anran continued to say with a smile.

"Andy, I've been through a lot of negotiations, but I didn't expect that what I thought was going to be a very simple negotiation today turned out to be so difficult. After the series is filmed, it won't be the current sharing ratio, right? I'd love to know why you're so confident? Anderson said with a wry smile.

"My confidence comes from the script I wrote myself, and then I already have the main character I value, and I am willing to invest in the production requirements. With so many factors together, do you think this series will be worse? Liu Anran said with a chuckle.

He is really confident, and the unique narrative technique of "Counter-Terrorism 24 Hours" caught people's attention as soon as it was broadcast, and became a popular masterpiece.

This is not a movie after all, so the requirements when filming are not as strict as those of the movie. So he's really confident, and that confidence is now being accurately conveyed to Anderson.

Anderson scratched his head and fell in love with the script, but Andy's attitude was too resolute.

As soon as he entered the door, he said that it was a compensation for the last script grabbing incident, and his first movie was so successful, if this series was also successful, his company would be able to get 60% of the profit.

The difficulty is that the copyright of the series is still owned by Andy. Don't underestimate the DVD revenue of hit dramas, which is also a considerable profit.

Now there are two choices in front of you, either you can agree to it now, and you can get 60% of the return, and the risk is very small. Or wait until he has produced two or three episodes before continuing the talks. But this risk is bigger, maybe Andy will open his mouth and ask for more profit sharing.

One of his other considerations is that he is worried that Liu Anran will promote this series to other TV stations, which is tantamount to sending his opponent a weapon to fight him.

"Andy, after all, this cooperation situation is too special, how about giving us a day to think about it?" After hesitating for a moment, Anderson spoke.

"Okay, you can contact George directly when you have the confirmed news here. Because I'm going to recruit the actors for this series and get ready for filming. And I have to prepare for the shooting of another movie, so I'm afraid the time will be a bit busy. Liu Anran said with a smile.
