299 Successful collaborations
(Thanks to my friend Dongdong Ella for his encouragement)
"Andy, so in terms of the current situation, in addition to those TV series and variety shows, what kind of price can you pay to recover the copyrights of these heroes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Anderson asked again.
"Three hundred million dollars." Liu Anran raised three fingers and said.
This offer has also been thought about by Liu Anran for a long time, it is too low, even if there are those episodes, I am afraid that Fox will not agree. After all, the first part of "X-Men" was too successful, and the box office fire of the second part was predictable.
"$300 million, a little less. How about handing over the distribution rights to X-Men? Anderson said after frowning and thinking for a moment.
"Anderson, you've surprised me today." Liu Anran frowned and looked at Anderson and said.
He thought that coming to interview Anderson today was just a preliminary contact like Smith, and the two sides explored the way. But now listening to Anderson, it seems that he can make a decision on his own.
"I've been promoted a little, and we've expected you to come over to us, so I've been in charge of this matter." Anderson said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Okay, I can give you the distribution rights for X-Men, but only 5% of the box office. The region should be excluded from China, Japan, and South Korea. Liu Anran began to bargain.
"Andy, I found that I have begun to like you, and it seems to be very good to negotiate business with you, so I will arrange for someone to prepare the contract." Anderson leaned back in his chair and said.
"Anderson, you're so shameless. Your company certainly doesn't put too much pressure on you, let's talk about what kind of bottom line it is. Don't worry, since I have promised you, I will not go back. Liu Anran said helplessly.
"Actually, it's not much, our company's psychological price is about the same as what you quoted. In fact, you only consider the investment risk of these films, but you do not consider the influence of our company after shooting these heroic character films. Anderson said with a smile.
"If we do it, it will have a big impact on the company, and not just in terms of box office revenue. In fact, the part I want is the distribution right. You're always going to have to give me an account to the company, and I'm very much looking forward to getting promoted. ”
Liu Anran shook his head helplessly, but he was extremely happy in his heart. How could he ignore the impact of the film on the company, he was just deliberately downplaying it.
Now the result is very good, I got all the heroes of this group back, and now the important characters who are wandering outside are left with little spiders.
To put it simply, this cooperation with Fox and the cooperation with Universal can be regarded as successful cooperation, and each can truly take what he needs.
For Marvel, when the hero returns, he will be able to shoot a hero who truly belongs to him. And for Fox and Universal, it is not a loss that they can now reap huge sums of money while also owning the distribution rights of certain films. After all, even the box office of the movie must also take into account inflation and risk factors, and now they are sure to make a profit no matter what they say.
The contract was drawn up quickly, and both parties signed it with smiles on their faces.
"Andy, can you reveal what the next series will be?" After completing all the formalities, Anderson asked curiously.
"I haven't considered this yet." Liu Anran shook his head and said: "There are too many things this year, and there are three additional films to prepare." Even if "X-Men" and "Hulk" are handed over to Marvel, the second part of "Fast and Furious" needs Dream Media to do. ”
Although he has a lot of money now, whether it is Dream Media or Marvel, he has been expanded. This should have been a happy thing, but he found that he was not happy, and he was worried that the quality of these films was not guaranteed.
To put it mildly, the current Dream Media is like a poor man getting rich. Although he is rich and spends money happily, his foundation is too thin.
With so many films starting at the same time, one carelessness will affect the quality of the film. And Dream Media is in the stage where it has just opened up the situation, as long as a film gets a bad review, negative reviews will come like a tide.
After enjoying a big meal extorted from Anderson's side, Liu Anran left Fox.
"George, next year is a heavy task." After returning to the villa and holding Hope in his arms, Liu Anran spoke.
"Isn't it going to fall on me? You're going to shoot Pirates of the Caribbean, and I'm going to have to do the rest. George said with a wry smile.
He also felt the pressure, and it wasn't one or two films, but many. Although Liu Anran will not interfere in the operation of Marvel's side, he must also supervise it. Dream Media is still too small, and all departments will have to build it carefully in the future, otherwise all the good cards will be wasted.
"Wait two days, and you'll be in touch with Jobs, and it's time to get Pixar Studios. There's a lot of peace of mind on their side, as long as they keep the status quo. Liu Anran spoke again.
To acquire Pixar Studios, Jobs put forward two conditions, and now that he has met all of them, the official acquisition will also begin.
"So when will the news of this cooperation with Fox be released?" George asked again.
"Don't rush yet, wait until you finish talking to Sony, and see if you can recall all the heroes when it is announced. You can help me contact the relevant person in charge of Sony's corporate headquarters, and I have to contact them if I can take down the little spider. Liu Anran shook his head and said.
"Don't you contact Colombia directly? Although they were bought by Sony, I think it's better to connect with Colombia, right? George asked, confused.
"It's useless to contact them, only to contact people at Sony. You don't notice that the cooperation with Fox and Universal is actually only a certain factor, and those ancillary conditions are what they value. And we can't give Colombia anything now, only Sony. Liu Anran sighed and said.
During this time, he felt that he was a lot older, and it was too much of a headache to do business. This is still on the basis of having the memory of the future generations, otherwise I am afraid that the family will not be able to talk about it, and it is useless to have more money.
"Andy, if not, let Linda get involved in our business now, so that I won't be too tired next year." George spoke again.
Liu Anran nodded and didn't say anything. (To be continued.) )
