Chapter 32: Copyright (3)
"A million dollars?" His eager gaze suddenly turned cold, "Mr. Lin, do you think the Blizzard signboard is too cheap?" ”
"Changing it into a comic, a novel, it's all a million dollars to change, and you only paid a million dollars for adapting it into a movie?"
Christina immediately understood, and without waiting for Lin Xiao to speak, she said with a smile, "You can't say that." Is there a Blizzard game adapted into a movie? I'm afraid your film adaptation rights are still pressed at the bottom of the box, right? StarCraft I also play, it is undeniable that this is a classic game, even the character relationships, the story setting, the battlefield are all ready, the key question is ......"
Her beautiful big eyes bent up, "Who dares to shoot?" ”
"Once you decide to shoot, it will be a blockbuster that surpasses the 'Star Wars', who dares to guarantee that you will attract investment, and who will dare to guarantee that you will not lose money? And once they lose money, even the Big Six will immediately fall off the altar. Below Lionsgate, New Line, Miramax, I'm afraid I've been staring at the throne of the Big Six for a long time. ”
What else did the section chief want to say, Christina gave full play to her woman's advantages, stretched out a finger and shook it, got up from the sofa leisurely, pulled her long golden hair, stopped his words, and said with a smile, "The most important thing is that they will face criticism from global interstellar fans, and the brand of this company will lose its credibility, the better you do in the game, the greater the risk we take, and one million is definitely not less!" ”
After speaking, her eyes looked at Lin Xiao, and the meaning was very obvious.
Do you really want to win the rights to adapt the Warcraft movie?
Warcraft, she will also play when she is free, she knows very well the difficulty of the four major races, night elves, immortality, these two races will consume countless money, and the investment in the whole film is definitely an astronomical amount.
The difficulty is unusually great, but its moviegoers even said that the foundation has been laid from the beginning, if World of Warcraft becomes a pioneer like StarCraft again, the box office may be able to challenge the current myth of the world's first Titanic of 1.2 billion US dollars!
According to Hollywood conventions, the box office only accounts for one-third of a film's income, and the other two-thirds come from the peripherals, especially DVDs account for 40%, TV stations account for 30% in the past, and now, there is an additional network on demand!
In other words, once it is really filmed, not only will Shuguang completely gain a foothold in the United States, but Lin Xiao will naturally take the lead in investing in it, this is a movie that can break into the first echelon!
However, worries also followed.
What about money?
This film, less than 100 million US dollars, don't even want to shoot it, this is still the lowest, even if it is 100 million US dollars, it is equivalent to one billion yuan! It is equivalent to a profit from the dawn of nearly ten years, which is simply an astronomical amount!
Therefore, she once again asked Lin Xiao's opinion.
Lin Xiao smiled, gently, but firmly nodded.
Christina hesitated for only five seconds.
He immediately clenched his fists.
If this vote is successful, if Lin Xiao really raises one billion yuan, if he really writes a great script, if he really invites a superstar to join, if he also finds one of the six giants to nod and release......
So...... Not only Lin Xiao, she will become the most brilliant person in WMA!
"Mr. Section Chief, think about it." She took a deep breath, for the prospect of too much gold made her plump breasts rise and fall, and even through the trench coat, she could see two towering balls of flesh moving up and down.
The section chief was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "One million is too little!" We can't accept it! ”
"Mr. Section Chief." Lin Xiao finally smiled and spoke, he sat on the sofa leisurely, nodded and smiled, "Whether you accept it or not, it shouldn't be up to you, right?" You might as well help us report it, naturally there is a commissioner to talk to us, you have opened a new business line, I will give you a credit, why don't you take it? ”
The section chief patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being confused.
yes, if you don't accept to take care of his, he just needs to report it, is it useful to spend half a day salivating here? Lin Xiao made it clear, "You can't call the shots, I don't want to talk to you." Although I signed a World of Warcraft Asia-Pacific endorsement, don't forget that I am the dawn boss holding the dawn. ”
After thinking clearly, he put on a smiling face and said, "Okay, I'll go back and report to the headquarters immediately, I believe that someone will find Mr. Lin in a few days." ”
Lin Xiao nodded casually, the section chief was already anxious, and after a few perfunctory chats, he raised his leg and left.
In the room, it was quiet, Christina looked at Lin Xiao who was leisurely drinking tea, and finally couldn't help but raise her voice, "MR. LIN, please tell me, at least 1 billion RMB, at most 1.5 billion RMB, how are you going to get it? Now the six Hollywood giants, at most two blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million yuan a year, and they have to recover the funds in the first step before they dare to shoot the second step, and it is impossible for medium-sized investment to exceed five, where are you going to get this batch of money?! ”
Lin Xiao knocked on the table with a smile, and after a long while, he said calmly, "I'm not a person who has a strong desire for money. ”
"The money I have now is enough for me to spend a lifetime, but when I really do it, I know that I need money for everything."
"It costs money to run a school, it costs money to make a movie award, and it costs a lot of money to make a movie."
"I just know how many good ideas are stuck in the money......" he sighed and said, "I really need to make money......
"Running a school? Do the film awards? "Christina is messy" What the hell are you talking about?! ”
Lin Xiao smiled, "It's nothing, this matter is handed over to you, remember to talk about it." ”
Christina looked at him for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, it seems that you are very resolute, I hope you don't make mistakes, it's not that tens of millions of dawn can't be taken out, you haven't touched the profits of the assembly number, right?" ”
Lin Xiao nodded, lifted his suit and stood up, "Okay, I'll go to the company." I won't take over the matter of the adaptation rights of World of Warcraft, they can just talk to you. By the way, I had a small request to meet with their person in charge before. ”
Out of the room, he made a phone call for the first time and asked Qin Zhong to come out to talk about things.
Despite the doubts, the other party arrived within an hour.
"Something big?" Looking at Lin Xiao in the open-air box of the seaside teahouse, his face was calm as if something was brewing, Qin Zhong couldn't help but ask.
"Big deal." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "It's as big a thing as a video website." ”
Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows, restrained his smile, closed the door tightly, and sat down opposite him.
"I'm going to buy the next game script." Lin Xiao said lightly, "Don't persuade me, just believe me, I estimate that it will be at most seventeen or eight million yuan." ”
Qin Zhong nodded.
"Then, I'm going to shoot it."
"It's about a billion yuan, more."
Although Lin Xiao had already given him a preventive injection, Qin Zhong still gasped.
"A billion ......" It took a long time for him to exhale the breath that was holding in his chest, looked at Lin Xiao's brows and asked solemnly, "What if I don't agree." ”
"I think it's going to be hard for us to work together anymore." Lin Xiao said lightly.
"Are you serious?"
"Very seriously."
Qin Zhong gritted his teeth for a long time, and compromised without question.
"Say, I'll hear it first."
"The point is how to make that billion." Lin Xiao said, "Do you know Apple?" ”
Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows.
"Apple." Lin Xiao showed a hint of a smile: "Then do you know Jobs?" ”
Qin Zhong also smiled, "I don't like to play guess and guess games with you, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”
"A very smart old man who is in very poor health and has just had pancreatic cancer surgery." Lin Xiao smiled, "Last year, this great pioneer just had pancreatic cancer removal surgery. According to him, he has completely said goodbye to pancreatic cancer. Oh, he'll be saying that in a month's time. ”
Qin Zhong didn't interrupt, and continued to listen.
"Apple is developing a revolutionary mobile phone, and the developer is a team led by Steve Jobs." Lin Xiao restrained his smile: "In the year it is launched, its stock will increase in value like crazy!" ”
"If, as you say, you want to buy a stake in Apple?" Qin Zhong said suspiciously, "Perhaps, it was a good idea to buy it when he was sick, but hasn't he already said goodbye to his illness?" What's the use of saying that now? ”
Lin Xiao shook his head, "Jobs, on behalf of Apple, he brought Apple back to life, and when he found out that he had pancreatic cancer, Apple's shares fell below the table. What company would want its stock to fall like this? ”
"You mean...... Apple is deceiving the world?! Qin Zhong's eyes lit up.
"Not really." Lin Xiao continued, "If it was really pancreatic cancer, Jobs would not have lived for half a year, but now it has been a year and a half. He did do that surgery, and it was very successful. ”
"So what's the use of saying that?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "Because...... He will soon be sick again! ”
06 year, the last year of the release of the iPhone, Jobs, who had refused to be interviewed for a long time, finally appeared at the Apple Globalizer Development Conference, and the image of a zombie was once again questioned about pancreatic cancer, many investors withdrew their investments, and Apple's stock ushered in the third sharp fall in history!
No one thought that in 07, after the release of the iPhone, within a year, Apple's stock price soared to 130%!
This stock, known as the most bullish stock in history, began his terrifying upward trend in 07, five years, ten times!
From the initial thirty dollars, it has risen to more than five hundred dollars. And more than thirty dollars, exactly the price of 05!
"You mean to say...... A company that is about to have a major breakthrough that revolutionizes the industry, but its developers can't get out of the disease and will fall sharply again? Qin Zhong quickly sensed Lin Xiao's thoughts.
He lit a cigarette and blew the sea breeze quietly, and both of them fell silent on the table thoughtfully.
"That revolutionary breakthrough...... When will it be released? After a long time, he suddenly asked.
"It won't be more than 07 years!" Lin Xiao said categorically.
"When did he get sick?"
"I'm afraid that next year, this disease, surgery can only cure it for a while, not for a lifetime."
It's known as the "smartphone revolution," and now he's going to step in on that revolution and earn $100 million from filming World of Warcraft!
He is sure that the film will become a classic, but money is the biggest gap.
He couldn't tell anyone about this plan, he could only tell Qin Zhong.
A cigarette, Qin Zhong didn't smoke much, the green smoke was swirling, and it took a long time to burn to the end.
