295 The light returns

"Goss, listen to my advice, and change to other jobs as soon as possible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoDon't mix in the film and television industry anymore, because of your relationship, our two companies already have irresolvable contradictions. Remember, it's all because of you. After the contract arrived, Liu Anran looked at Goss and said.

"Andy, don't get too complacent." The contract was in hand, and he finally got back 15 million US dollars, and Goss also had confidence in his heart.

One of Paramount's seven major film companies, and all of them are a month older than Universal. He really didn't understand why Liu Anran dared to say such cruel words,

"Good luck with Goss." Liu Anran did not refute or defend, but said happily.

Goss was stunned when he heard this, and his brows furrowed, he didn't know where Liu Anran's confidence came from, and now he felt that Liu Anran didn't seem to be joking.

"George, notify Marvel over there, you can officially hang out the news on the official website, Iron Man is home." After coming outside, Liu Anran said to George.

"Okay, I'll inform the other side, I hope Iron Man's successful buyback can be a good sign. Are we crossing the globe now? George asked, nodding his head.

"Come on, just invite Smith to a meal." Liu Anran said with a smile.

He also chose Universal for a purpose, after all, their "Hulk" has not yet started filming, and now at most they have this plan, and the chance of repurchasing it by himself is still very high. And in later generations, Marvel successfully repurchased the copyright of the role of the Hulk, and he felt that even if he spent more money this time, there was still a chance.

As for Fox and Sony, he really doesn't have much confidence. Both of these can be regarded as good money owners, and the chances of success are slim.

"Andy, you know you had a good conversation with Paramount." Smith said with a smile after pouring Liu Anran a cup of coffee.

"I thought it would take a long time to talk over there, but I didn't expect it to be done in such a short time. I came a little early, and I just had you dinner at noon. Liu Anran said after taking the coffee.

"A beautiful price?" Smith was curious.

"Fifteen million dollars. I gave him 20 million at the beginning, but Goss asked for 50 million, and finally it was 15 million. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"Andy, from a friend's point of view, I'm happy for you, and I don't spend much money. From the company's point of view, I'm still happy for you, because our company can watch the excitement. Smith said with a smile.

"You don't hide your good mood, what's the matter, the relationship is so good, tell me directly if the Hulk and Aquaman Namo are for sale." Liu Anran asked directly.

"Will my next answer affect lunch?" Smith asked with a wry smile.

Liu Anran shook his head and said, "No, business is business, and friends are friends." Just like you never sold me the rights to shoot the sequel to "Fast and Furious", don't I still treat you as a friend? ”

"Andy, do you have to talk about this every time you come over? But to be honest, after seeing the box office of "Ghost Shadow 2", I did regret it a little, and I should have exchanged it in the first place. Smith complained and then said regretfully.

"Fast and Furious" did make money, but it was much worse than the box office returns. And although the company has confirmed that it will shoot a sequel, Fan? Diesel has no intention of continuing with the second episode at the moment.

"Smith, I repeat to you that I'm very serious about the right to shoot the sequel to Fast and Furious. Can you think about how much you can shoot a sequel to this film? I think two parts are about the same, right? Liu Anran was excited, but asked quietly on his face.

"In fact, this will come according to the box office, the script, as long as there is a box office, you can create it." Smith paused for a moment before speaking.

"No, no, Smith, I don't agree with you." Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"If a series of movies can be filmed continuously, the most important thing is the relevance of the plot in each one. If you don't handle this well, each one is just a single popcorn movie. ”

"People watched the last episode of drag racing, if you are still like this in the next part, although there is still a good box office, but what about the third and fourth parts? Do people get aesthetic fatigue? ”

"So I'm still interested in buying the rights to your sequel, but I'll shoot the story I want to tell."

He has faith in "Fast and Furious", so whenever he has the opportunity, he will fight for it. Just now Smith showed regret, and he won't let it go.

"Andy, since you're going to tell a different story, why don't you shoot your own?" Smith asked curiously.

"It's not because you've robbed the name, and you've also accumulated a certain number of viewers." Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I was for my Chinese director, so I probably chose to shoot in Asia. I can also tell you clearly that I am ready to lose money after taking over the shooting, which is to tell another story to the audience and prepare for the later shooting. ”

"Something is wrong, you came here today to talk about the copyright of Hulk and Namor, how did you turn to this topic?" Smith asked depressedly.

"Why not, I told you a long time ago. Your film is a documentary from the director of our company, so in order to fulfill his wishes, I have never forgotten it. Liu Anran said with a smile.

"Really, think about it, you can sell us the rights to shoot in the back. We can fund the filming of the second part, and give you at least two sequels dividends, or we can calculate the box office of $200 million each, and directly give you $30 million in dividends. ”

"Okay, Andy, I'll discuss this with the company. However, given the success of the first part at the box office, I don't think the company would compromise on the price even if it agreed. Smith said with a wry smile.

It's not that Liu Anran's persistence moved him, but through the company's calculations, the cost of filming the sequel will increase a lot. At least double, and the expected box office, even if it is high, is not much higher than the first part, and it will take a lot of risks.

Unless the company plans to continue to invest money in the filming of the third and fourth parts, it is better to save worry and buy the sequel shooting rights to Liu Anran. Whether you choose to pay dividends or receive them in a lump sum, it's good. (To be continued.) )
