Chapter 1581 "The Grey Ghost in the Pacific"
Boss Jia finally decided to agree to MGM, on the one hand, Boss Jia needs a pathfinding stone, since someone is willing to go to the thunder for him, then Boss Jia is very interested in knowing what kind of recognition and achievements the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" can win in the world.
Anyway, if the movie is poor, then Daqian can push all the pots on MGM's head, and then take back the copyright by the way, and there will not be much loss.
On the other hand, as the president of Daqian Culture said, this is the largest order in the history of Daqian Culture.
Don't look at Daqian Culture's total performance of more than 2 billion US dollars last year, but this is a result that has only been achieved by accumulating water into a river, relying on the sale of various movies, music, animation, peripheral licensing and other small copyrights in its own copyright library, and the largest single copyright price before was only about 3 million US dollars.
It's not that Daqian Culture can't sell high-priced things, but many copyrights under the control of Daqian Culture are not for sale at all, such as Pokemon's movie copyright, Sword and Fairy's movie copyright, Red Alert's movie copyright, etc., these huge IPs that are extremely prominent in the world are all Daqian's non-sale, and Daqian Culture has never been sold.
At first, Boss Jia thought that this was not bad, and in the future, these things could be filmed by Daqian himself, and Daqian would make money by himself.
But later Boss Jia found that these things are actually difficult for Daqian to take care of, and Daqian Movies shoots four movies a year, which is already the limit of Daqian Movies.
If you want to expand the scale of film production, then the stall of Daqian movies is too big.
And these IPs have not been verified in their previous lives, God knows whether they will make money or lose money after being adapted into a movie, and it is not good to lose all the profits of the year, just like most film production companies now.
Don't look at the amazing box office results of many of their films, but if you count the failed works they made, they are actually struggling on the verge of profitability every year, and even about 70% of film production companies are not profitable.
So this time, Boss Jia figured it out, except for the important movies that Boss Jia really wanted to shoot by himself, the rest of the copyrights should still be sold and given to other film companies around the world, or more companies from different channels to produce, and Daqian only needs to collect copyright fees.
This is pure profit, without any risk, and if Daqian really holds all the copyrights firmly in his hands, it will be resisted by various industries...... In fact, Daqian has vaguely felt that in many industries, peers are full of hostility towards Daqian.
In addition, there is the most critical point, that is, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a pure Chinese cultural work, although there are too many examples of Hollywood changing Chinese works and thus failing miserably, but in fact, Huaxia took the initiative to find Hollywood before, and it feels almost for nothing.
But this time he took the initiative to buy the copyright of Huaxia, and Boss Jia couldn't block this road anyway, otherwise how would he implement the policy of cultural invasion?
In fact, the best means of cultural invasion is not to forcibly stuff the people of the United States, but to invite their own people from the United States and various countries around the world to invite them in, and it still costs money, which is the best result.
Anyway, the film adaptation rights of The Legend of Sword and Fairy were sold, and on the 12th day after the start of the film festival, Li Gaomei and Daqian Culture signed a contract at the film festival to buy the film adaptation rights of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" for $10 million.
This news instantly made many companies around the world shine, and they thought that Daqian would always stick to the copyright of a top game like "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and he would make a movie in the future, but he didn't expect Daqian to go out.
Does this mean that Daqian has changed his policy?
Suddenly, many film companies took the initiative to find Daqian Culture and got Boss Jia's instructions, except for some IPs that Boss Jia planned to develop by Daqian himself, other IPs, after examining the strength of the buyer, sold what could be sold, and these things couldn't make money if they were smashed in their hands.
As a result, in just a few months, the IP sold by Daqian Culture has reached the level of double that of the same period last year, and it is estimated that the profit can double compared with last year.
In addition to the fact that the film adaptation copyright of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" cannot be sold, there is another major event at the film festival that has attracted much attention, and I am the fundraising for the movie "Gray Ghost in the Pacific".
At the beginning, when this film appeared on the fundraising list of the Imperial Capital International Film Festival, it was a very inconspicuous work.
"The Gray Ghost in the Pacific", the name is very difficult to understand, so many investors have not watched this movie.
But with the exposure of the production PV of a movie, things changed immediately, because this PV shows a super ship that is being refurbished, and along with the PV, the general plot and content of this movie are also clear.
It turned out that he was going to shoot the legendary life of the most famous aircraft carrier in the United States: the aircraft carrier Enterprise.
The selling point of this movie is still very high, first of all, the enterprise number is very well-known in the United States, many people have heard of it, but it has never been shot in a serious movie, and this script is very attractive.
The second is the film production company, which actually plans to continue the production model of the Titanic, and finally completely destroy the entire big ship in a big explosion, this gimmick sounds very powerful, I don't know if this movie can also have the box office of the Titanic!
Well, it's impossible to get the same box office, but even if there is half of it, or even 1/4, it's a huge achievement.
And this time, the production funds announced by the production company are also quite bullish, with a total investment of up to 180 million US dollars, so much money is thrown into it, no matter how bad the movie is, it won't be so bad!
All in all, as soon as this PV was announced, it attracted the attention of many Hollywood companies...... In fact, not only Hollywood companies, but also many investment funds have been attracted and have investment plans.
Because this time, the producer of this company actually took out 60% of the box office revenue of the movie for sale, divided into a total of 60,000 shares, and the price of US stocks was $2,000, that is, a total of $120 million was raised, and the total profits obtained by the production company were divided into shares, and each share could get 1‰ of profits.
This plan to raise investment has made many fund companies call out for experts, isn't this the fund-raising routine of their fund companies? It can actually be used in movies.
