Chapter 169: Film Distribution Rights
"I know a friend who wants to buy the distribution rights to our film, do you think we can talk to him?" After returning from Yuzawa Hot Springs, Tang Yin took a moment to deal with all the post-production of "Pretty Girl". The editing was done by himself, and the soundtrack was made by a musician who was a little famous in Tokyo, and it took a week together, and the time of the whole movie was less than half a month from the beginning of shooting to the finished film.
After it was done, Koji Wakamatsu ran over to talk to Tang Yin about the release, originally they were going to talk to Koji Wakamatsu's former boss about the cinema screening, but when Koji Wakamatsu's friend heard that there was such a movie, he ran over first and came directly to talk about buying the distribution rights.
The storyline of "Pretty Girl" has been modified from the original version, which deepens the flavor of the story, and the plot is also a little different from the original. Not only that, but the action of this movie is also extremely refreshing, and the blood of people watching it is boiling. Although there is no real army, the action is not inferior to those Ai comfort films, or it is more attractive to looming.
If you really want to use a movie as an analogy, it is probably a movie called "Blood Love" in Tang Yin's memory now. It's just that there is an extra real army in that movie, which is actually similar to the Ai Wei movie, and the heroine is not very good-looking, and her figure is a little inferior. But it's also a very in-depth movie, which contains a lot of things, and it's about a special period. However, although there are more action scenes in it and it is relatively direct, it still can't affect its depth.
Koji Wakamatsu's friend took a fancy to the style of the "Pretty Girl" movie, where literary and action styles go hand in hand, and came to buy the distribution rights. This kind of film can not only be used as a literary film, it can be screened at foreign film festivals, and it can also be directly staged in midnight theaters, if the film is really good enough, it is easy to make a fortune. "This movie is really good, 3 million, I will take the global distribution rights of this movie."
Haruka Ayase and Koji Wakamatsu next to them were both moved after hearing this price, their total investment was less than 200,000, and now as long as they sell it, it will be three million, and this movie has directly increased fifteen times, and this movie has only taken a week from beginning to end, this price is completely higher than their psychological expectations, and the money comes too fast.
"Uh, sorry, the price is a bit low, we can't accept it." It's just that Tang Yin didn't agree, he instinctively felt that the value of this movie was more than that, and if it was sold like this, he felt that he couldn't accept it at all. With him as the main body here, he doesn't agree, and the other two are useless even if they are tempted.
"Well, then we only have to work together next time." Wakamatsu Koji's friend didn't entangle, and when he saw that the price was not negotiated, he gave up directly, and he didn't mean to bargain with Tang Yin at all, obviously his price was directly nailed to the number of 3 million. The price was not negotiated, and Koji Wakamatsu's friend immediately turned the topic to other aspects and stopped talking about the movie.
Tang Yin didn't feel anything, but Haruka Ayase and Koji Wakamatsu were both a little disappointed, seeing that they were about to get 3 million, but they flew again. In fact, this movie is not the best time to sell distribution rights at this time, if you send this movie to a solo exhibition, and then sell it after winning an award, it is the best time, Wakamatsu Koji originally had this plan.
It's just that the recent international film awards are still a few months old, although the two awards of Daming are relatively early, but this movie has no drama at all, and they don't expect this movie to win the award. And Tang Yin is about to make a new movie again, and he doesn't have enough capital, so he thinks about selling the distribution rights of this movie.
Wakamatsu's friend talked for a while and left, what he didn't expect was that a few years later he would regret his decision to give up. Because this is Tang Yin's only fully photogenic movie, although there is no leakage, the collection value of this movie is still greater than the viewing value, especially the women who appeared in it are all superstars who shined later, and you can know how great the value of this movie is.
What the three of them didn't expect was that when they were about to give up buying the distribution rights, the distribution department of DreamWorks approached them. This person came over after listening to the words of Takaji Wakamatsu's ex-boss, and the former boss of Koji Wakamatsu promised Tang Yin that his theater line would also follow this person's relationship.
DreamWorks has its own cinema chain and distribution department here in Fuso, and they usually cooperate with the head office to distribute their own films, but sometimes they will find some local movies with good quality and buy the distribution rights to show them in their own theaters. So when I heard Koji Wakamatsu's former boss say that there was a good movie, I immediately ran over to watch it.
Although this person is from DreamWorks, he has been working in Fusang, he doesn't know Tang Yin, and Tang Yin doesn't know him, so although the two met, they don't know each other. And the news of Tang Yin's disappearance was concealed by Zhang Lan and the others, only saying that Tang Yin's film production was finished and he needed to rest for a while, and others didn't expect that Tang Yin actually had an accident.
"The quality of this movie is good, how are you going to ask for the distribution rights?" The representatives of DreamWorks were not polite after meeting with Tang Yin and the three of them, and went straight to the point.
"A person also came to talk to us about the global distribution rights before, and reported 15 million, but we didn't agree, the global distribution rights of this film must be at least 20 million, otherwise we will find a theater to screen it ourselves, and then go abroad to participate in one or two film festivals, the value of this film is more than that much money." The leader of the negotiation was still Tang Yin, and the price he said almost scared the two people behind him, and the two of them endured very hard to show their expressions.
"Twenty million? No problem, that's it. To the surprise of the three of them, the reaction of the representatives of DreamWorks was obviously not as high as they imagined, but seemed to be very satisfied with the price, so they directly agreed, leaving the three of them to look at each other with each other's faces.
"Hehe, think it's weird? If you find a theater chain for this movie and go to the film festival to sell the distribution rights overseas, it is estimated that you will not be able to get much more than this. But if it's our dream company, it's not difficult to earn this money, we have a large number of theaters, as well as mature publicity and channels, so you don't have to be too surprised, this money can't be earned much if others want to earn it except for us. After signing the contract, the DreamWorks representative explained to Tang Yin and the three of them with a smile, and then left with the film. (To be continued.) )
