304 Raiders Nobuyoshi Izui
"Mr. Andy, when are these two films expected to start filming? To what extent can we at Sony be involved? Nobuyuki Idei asked after thinking for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"'Wolverine' can't be determined for the time being, but it's also a mature character who has performed very well in 'X-Men' and won't be a problem at the box office in the future, so we won't be delaying it for too long. The second part of "Fast and Furious" has been confirmed, so if it can, the third part should be filmed in '04 or '05. Liu Anran said with a smile.
"I will leave the selection of Japanese actors for these two films to Sony, and we will determine the final selection among the people selected by your company. There will be a lot of vehicles needed in the "Fast and Furious" film, and the sponsor can also be handed over to your company to contact. ”
"Like Universal, in Japan, all of my studios can be given five-year contracts for distribution rights. And the two films I just mentioned will be the only partner no matter when they are filmed. ”
Nobuyuki Idei closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about the gains and losses of cooperation.
After thinking for a moment, Nobuyuki Idei said, "Mr. Andy, you must be for the Marvel Heroes copyright held by our company. The cooperation is a win-win situation, and we will also help your company a lot as the distributor of your company in Japan, so how much can you pay if your company is aiming for copyright? ”
"I'm really for their copyright. On top of these conditions, I can pay an additional $150 million. Liu Anran said with an unchanged face.
"Although Columbia's "Spider-Man" has not yet been released, I can pay $150 million for his rights regardless of how well the film works."
Liu Anran's heart is also constantly beating drums, among all the Marvel heroes, the little spider is the most gold-absorbing. It only cost a few dollars to recycle Fox's big group of heroes, and now he is willing to spend $150 million on the four that Sony holds.
He is gambling, betting that Nobuyuki Idei can value this report when Sony is facing losses, and betting that Nobuyuki Idei will have a greater intention of internationalizing Sony.
Now Nobuya Idei is full of thoughts on developing Sony into a multinational corporation like Microsoft, although there are many branches in other countries, but it is still much worse than Microsoft.
The reason why I didn't go to the Colombian side was to take it down from the source. Although Howard? Stringer also lost all the way when he was at the helm of Sony, but he did a very successful job in the film and television industry. Even in the future, this will be the main source of income for the Sony Group.
"Mr. Andy, the price you gave is too high." Nobuyuki Idei said with a smile after thinking about it for a while.
"There's no way, the four heroes that your company has now are the only ones we have left outside, so I'll try it even if the price is higher. However, if your company thinks that the value of these four heroes is higher than the cash and other conditions I offered, then I can only give up. Liu Anran nodded and said.
"In fact, there are a lot of choices in the cooperation of our company's entertainment industry, Dongbao and Ai Hui, if I cooperate with these two companies in Japan, the results I can receive will definitely be much better than that of cooperating with your company."
This is to tell Nobuyuki Idei that the conditions for opening now are his bottom line. For the recycling of the rest of the heroes, it is not about their commercial value, but about the consummation of Marvel heroes.
If Sony doesn't agree, he can be regarded as having an explanation to Marvel fans, not because he doesn't work hard, but because the other party doesn't cooperate. Then you can choose other companies to cooperate and better carry out your own company's business.
Of course, this is just an illusion of Nobuyuki Ino, and he doesn't like the little spider very much. The price of this 500 million US dollars is not arbitrarily reported, it should be about the same as the cost of "Spider-Man" that they invested in filming this time.
"Mr. Andy, wait a minute, I'll make a phone call." Nobuyuki Idei said after thinking about it for a moment.
Even if he is an executive officer of Sony, but this time it involves the entertainment industry, and he has to get a good understanding of it. But in his heart, he thought it was a very good deal.
Even if the four Marvel heroes can create more value, he thinks that it is better for the entire Sony Group to consider the additional conditions given by Liu Anran.
Needless to say, "Fast and Furious", you don't have to care if he has any connotation, the audience likes to watch it. If the third part can really be filmed in Japan, then during his tenure, he will be able to increase the influence of Sony Group to a high level.
Don't ignore the implantation in the movie, those big car companies will definitely be able to maintain good cooperation with Sony when filming in the future. In the past two years, there have been a lot of Sony devices in the movies produced in Colombia, which has stimulated the sales of the products.
It's just that he still has to discuss this matter, he can decide, but he also has to worry about Howard? Stringer's feelings.
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Liu Anran, who stayed in the room, was in a relaxed mood, he really worked hard, and that was enough. It's not that you can't give Sony a higher price, but there is a reason why it's too much. The price given by oneself is too high, and Sony may hold on to it.
This is normal thinking, what should be ten dollars, you give someone the price of fifty yuan. Many people will think that this thing may be worth seventy or eighty dollars or more.
Liu Anran's mood was relaxed, but George's mood was very nervous, because he didn't know whether Nobuyuki Idei was an excuse or really went to contact someone to confirm the matter.
The waiting time was a bit long, as much as half an hour, and Nobuyuki Idei walked in with a serious face.
Liu Anran sighed in his heart, it seems that Howard? Stringer is really old-fashioned, and he knows that the little spider will bring higher benefits to Colombia, and he will not let it go.
"Mr. Andy, we can accept your terms. But there is a supplementary condition, we also want your company's DVD distribution rights in our country. Nobuyuki Idei said.
Liu Anran shook his head helplessly, the Japanese have a really big appetite. The sales of DVDs are very profitable, and they are all very likely to surpass the box office in Japan.
"Okay, but it's only a two-year contract." Liu Anran said.
Hearing Liu Anran's words, Nobuyuki Idei finally smiled. With Howard? Stringer's communication wasn't going well, and now with that, it makes sense on the boardroom. (To be continued.) )
