In the exhibition area, David? Ellison sat down across from the small round table, looked at Duke, pointed around, and said, "I thought you were too busy to pay attention to this mess."

。 ”

David? After Ellison came over, he went to see a clip of the film, and Duke could naturally guess his purpose, smiled, and said, "If a film wants to be a big hit, it has to invest a lot of money in publicity and marketing, and Transformers will not be an exception." ”

"Mr. Ellison, Director Rosenberg ......"

The vice president of Anchor Bay Entertainment Company walked over, and with his qualifications, of course he recognized that sitting here were two top rich people in the circle, and they both had film studios under their umbrellas, "I'm Justin in charge of the film business of Anchor Bay Entertainment?" Beverly. ”

"Hello ......"

Duke shook his hand, David? Ellison waved his hand.

"Justin, I'm a little interested in that movie."

From Duke's tone, you could tell that he didn't seem to care much about the film, "Can your company consider transferring the rights to me?" ”

David? Ellison was still looking at Duke, as if to see his true intentions under the expression, he wouldn't believe that Duke had come here to buy the rights to a movie, just a little interested.

Sitting Duke and David? Ellison's Middle, Justin? Beverly smiled reservedly, but didn't answer immediately.

Sure enough, just as he thought, David? Ellison said slowly, "I'm also a little interested, and Sky Studios wants that movie too." ”

David? Ellison believes it won't be long. That film became the star film of the independent small production at the exhibition.

The reason is also very simple, this is Duke? Films that Rosenberg was interested in.

At this point, as long as the price is not too outrageous, it is enough for many people to buy the copyright and try their luck.

Justin? Beverly looks at Duke. Look at David again? Ellison, with a look of embarrassment.

Duke leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly, and looked at David, who was full of rebelliousness? Ellison paused for a moment, then said, "David." Doing business is always on a first-come, first-served basis. ”

"First come, first served?" David? Ellison shook his head and said, "In Oracle and Ellison's business principles, business is always based on operation and competition. ”

After all, David? Ellison turns to Justin? Beverly. "I heard that Duke just wanted $100,000 to buy the rights?"

He didn't care about Duke on the other side at all, and said to himself, "Half a million dollars!" ”

Justin? Instead of replying, Beverly looked at Duke.

In today's Hollywood, who doesn't know David? Ellison and Duke are at odds.

Duke smiled and said, "Justin, it's half a million dollars." Do you choose Warner Bros., or Sky Studios? ”

Do you still need to choose this kind of thing? Justin? Beverly immediately wanted to nod his head in agreement, and the company only had a few tens of thousands of dollars to buy such a film. and no one cares about the film, he can handle it independently.

Using such a film to befriend Duke? Rosenberg and Warner Bros. are definitely a very good business

David? The corners of Ellison's mouth twitched slightly, he had seen this situation countless times when he followed his father to participate in business negotiations, and many people said that they were not interested, but not in their hearts.

Although the man who claims to be God in the clip that is played seems extremely absurd. But he believes Duke? Rosenberg's eyes, if not that he got the news fast enough. The exhibition area of Lighting Entertainment is right next to it, so there will be no chance to meddle.

Quickly form your own judgment. David? Ellison vs. Justin? Beverly held up two fingers, "Two million dollars." ”

Hearing that number, Justin? Baffly immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, and his gaze unconsciously turned to David? Ellison's side.

It's important to build certain relationships through business, but it's even more important to actually make a profit.

Duke turned his head and looked at the LCD screen again, shaking his head in his heart, this film called This Man from Earth is not worth his continued entanglement.

But he had guessed David earlier? Ellison's intention, and he also said the psychologically suggestive words of increasing publicity, which is to prevent David? Ellison takes out Larry? Ellison's style, opening his mouth to shout a big price.

Speaking of throwing money at it, David? Ellison and he are not opponents of the same weight class at all, but with Duke's character, how could he do such a no-nonsense thing on such an occasion.

The most important thing is that this man from the earth has some value, but it is not worth him to do at all, and Duke has always disdained to do things that are not proportional to input and output.

Just David? Ellison's personality is the same as his dad, which is not likeable.

David? After Ellison said two million dollars, he stared at Duke.

He also knows a little about the film market now, and he is not indiscriminately quoting, two million dollars is his upper limit, there are too many things to deceive in the business field, if Duke? Rosenberg continues to raise the price of such an inconspicuous small production, which really has to be thought through.

After all, it's just a small independent production, and like a British black comedy that has been given a cold reception in the North American market, they have a limited audience and don't change at all according to their own wishes.

From I Am Legendary, can Duke see David? Ellison's progress, he wouldn't have his head in the water to treat all the rich kids as Rick? Fools like Solomon......

What if David? Ellison is an idiot, and if Duke gives another $2 million, he'll definitely get $5 million.

Even Paris he saw last time? Hilton is not stupid enough to be this point, let alone David, who has accumulated a certain amount of experience? Ellison too.

Shaking his head, Duke stopped wasting time here and stood up without hesitation.

"Rosenberg Director ......"

Doesn't seem to have thought Duke was going to do that, Justin? Beverly couldn't help but stand up.

Duke just smiled faintly, he didn't care about such a trivial matter, and when he was about to leave, he saw David? The corners of Ellison's mouth curled.

"This film is not suitable for theaters." Duke against Justin? Baffly shook his head again, "Pushing into the video tape market, I don't know how long it will take to return to the original ......"

At this point, he stopped and left the exhibition hall without looking back

David? Ellison turned his head and watched Duke leave, frowning slightly, not suitable for pushing into theaters, is it really not suitable?

The corners of his mouth curled even higher, Sky Studios was setting up a distribution department, maybe let them give it a try.

Duke really doesn't have any regrets or nostalgia for that film, and what he said is not suitable for the theater market is also true.

Of course, to David? Ellison's way of acting is probably not only not caring, but also doing it in the opposite direction.

Pushing into the theatrical market requires investment in publicity, marketing, copying, and other distributions, plus $2 million for the purchase of copyrights, and the total cost of this man from the earth may pile up to $4 million or more.

David? Ellison may not care about the money, but from a businessman's point of view, it's not a good deal.

This kind of film enters the theater, even if it takes out $2 million for publicity, 99% of it may hit the streets, what if more publicity funds are used? The greater the investment, the greater the final loss......

In the past, this film was once remotely transmitted on the other side of the strait for a production cost of less than 100,000 US dollars, in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but Duke knows very well that this man from Earth has never been released in North American theaters, and the so-called hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office is just wishful thinking on the part of fans of the film.

Even if it is forcibly pushed into the theater market, with the audience and viewing habits of this type of film, how many people will enter the theater?

The greatest value of this man from the earth comes from the disc and video market, and it is only a niche option in the disc and video market, how long will it take to invest millions of dollars in it?

The North American film market has its own rules, and this law will not change with personal wishes, let alone David? Ellison, even if it's Duke and James? Cameron also can't change the laws inherent in the market.

A niche is a niche, like Quentin? Most of Tastino's films are wonderful, but the theatrical box office is quite average relative to the director's personal fame, and the North American box office can exceed $100 million is one of the best, which is determined by the laws of the market, even if Quentin? Is Harvey behind Tastino? Weinstein can't change Quentin's relatively average box office, and his film profits rely on offline broadcasts such as television, discs, and videotapes in the later stage.

Indeed, in the eyes of many people, this man from the earth is a good movie, but a good movie may not be able to get a high box office, and there are too many examples of good movies hitting the street at the box office.

Maybe this man from Earth will be in David? Something changed in Ellison's hands, but the odds were too low.

The type of movie will greatly affect the response of the theater market, as Duke told reporters, now that movies can be watched through multiple channels such as TV, the Internet and discs, and watching movies at home is far more comfortable than entering the theater, why should audiences run out of the house to buy tickets for a movie?

The most important reason is that the big screen must bring a lot of movie-watching that cannot be achieved on the small screen.

For example, in a film like Transformers, Duke will not only continue to use X technology to produce, but will also use James? Cameron's improved technology for shooting, the audio-visual enjoyment it can bring is absolutely unattainable on a small screen.

After leaving the show, Duke tossed the man from Earth aside and continued the preparations for the Transformers. To be continued
