Five million dollars, not a small amount of money.

If it is invested in any Chinese film, unless it is a historical masterpiece for the global market, it is a big production, otherwise Sun Peng will not have a stalemate with Galloping Horse Pictures because of the investment in "Mission Impossible". And if it is only as part of a film investment, and only a quarter of it, even in the United States, the kingdom of films, it will be a huge investment.

The total investment of "Frozen", plus the publicity and distribution costs, is at least 200 million.

With a large investment comes a great risk.

Whether it is in this world or on the earth, no one dares to guarantee that a certain movie will not lose money, unless it is a sequel to that kind of popular IP...... Of course, even in this case, there is a situation like the Chronicles of Narnia.

Therefore, the decision of any film with a huge investment must be very deliberate.

However, if the money is invested in an animated movie called "Ice and Snow Origin", Sun Peng will not hesitate even for a second! Even if he knew that this was not Earth, and that Capoca was not Disney, he still didn't think there was any risk in it!

So......

"For investment things, we insist!"

In and Francis? When Philips negotiated to the point, Sun Ya's attitude was extremely resolute: "This is Lao Bai's picture book, the copyright belongs to him, the script and all the soundtracks and songs are written by him, and even all the storyboards are designed by him, there is no reason not to let his funds participate!" ”

Frowning, Philips said in a deep voice: "Ms. Sun, of course I don't deny this, but there is no precedent for Capoca to let the author participate in the investment......"

"There's always a first time for everything, doesn't it?"

Before Philips finished speaking, Sun Ya was already calm.

"Ma'am, that's not a problem at all!"

Looking at Sun Ya's insistent look, Francis? Philips started to have a headache.

If he was noncommittal about Lao Bai's investment in production before coming to Huaxia, then after reading all the information, Philips has fully realized the great value of this cartoon. The story, the relaxed rhythm, the classic soundtrack and songs, and the dazzling camera design all made Philips believe that "Frozen" will be a big hit!

In this case, how could he be willing to let Lao Bai participate?

According to the results of Harry and others' evaluation, this movie is at least $800 million!

The box office of 800 million US dollars is enough to recover all the investment of 200 million US dollars, and if you add all kinds of broadcast rights, peripherals, musicals, etc., with the global promotion strength of the Caboka company, hundreds of millions of dollars of profits will come in every year, and if you let Lao Bai invest, you will have to divide a quarter......

If Sun Peng knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely scoff at it. As long as it is half the level of "Frozen" on the planet, how can it be $100 million a year? Three or four hundred million is about the same, right?

After a moment of silence, Francis? Philips gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Sun, ten million dollars!" We are willing to pay $10 million to buy out all the copyrights...... Except, of course, picture books! ”

The picture book "Frozen" is now selling well in Europe and the United States, and broke into the top 100 bestsellers of the New York Times list last month, so naturally they have no reason to buy out together.

"Ten million dollars?"

After hearing this, Sun Ya's pupils shrank instantly!

"Yes, ten million!"

Take a deep breath, Francis? Philips said in a deep voice: "And in addition to that, we can also give Mr. Laobai a five-percent share of the box office!" Note that I'm talking about a global box office share! Believe me, this is the Caboca company...... No, it should be a top standard that has never been seen in all of Hollywood! ”

"Sizzle......"

At this time, Sun Ya couldn't help but gasp!

According to the performance of Cappoca Company's previous animated films, "Frozen" has a global box office of at least three or four hundred million US dollars, and the highest can be as much as seven or eight billion! This also means that the five percent box office share is at least nearly $20 million, and if you add the 10 million buyout fee, it will be $30 million!

Oh, my God! Nearly 200 million Chinese coins!

Seeing Sun Ya's shocked look, Francis? Philips' entire heart was dripping blood.

When he asked CBS to help contact Lao Bai, he didn't even want to come out with five million dollars. And before coming to Huaxia, the psychological bottom line was only six or seven million, because in his opinion, no matter how famous Lao Bai is, he is only a newcomer in the animation field after all, no matter how high the price is, how high can it be?

But I didn't expect that people directly took out so many hole cards!

With such a script, music and shot design, what company would not want to take over? You must know that although the Capoca company is very famous, it is only one of the three major animation companies in the United States, and it is also the one with the worst results, if people just give up on them and go to the other two......

So after some emergency communication with the company's headquarters, Philips directly came up with the highest standards!

Looking at Sun Ya's expression at this time, Philips clenched his teeth tightly, and said silently in his heart: "Promise, promise, you can't find this condition anywhere......"

"I'm sorry, we can't say yes!"

In Francis? When Philips was chattering, Sun Ya also gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Mr. Lao Bai does not agree with such a plan, he insists on investing at least 50 million US dollars in the production and distribution of this film, and requires the global box office and surrounding areas to share ......."

"Ma'am, can we be realistic?"

"I'm already very realistic, after all, you get more benefits from having him join!"

"How is that possible?"

"How could it not be? I'm sure you've evaluated all the scripts, settings, and soundtracks, and you should know that you can save at least $30 million in production costs with this thing...... Note that it is at least! In fact, in my opinion, with this script, you can avoid many detours, and it seems that it is not impossible to save 50 million, right? ”

“……”

Regarding Sun Ya's statement, Philips could only express silence.

Saving $50 million or something may sound like an exaggeration, but if you consider that the script and camera design will save Capoca a lot of time and will allow them to avoid any detours, maybe it can be done! And plus those soundtracks, those songs, and Fei Fei? The huge publicity effect brought by Chen......

I don't dare to say 50 million, but 30 million is definitely there!

But......

Even so, Francis? Philips didn't intend to agree to the other party, so after stabilizing his mind, he opened his mouth to fight again: "Ms. Sun, if you are not satisfied with the buyout fee, we can talk about it again, and even the box office share can be increased a little more...... You can now come up with a number that satisfies you! ”

"No, no, we're not interested!"

didn't give herself a chance to think at all, Sun Ya immediately shook her head like a rattle, and said loudly: "Mr. Philips, please don't avoid the important anymore, what we ask is to invest in our own scripts, understand?" It's an investment, not a share, let alone a buyout! ”

"It can't be!"

"Why can't it be?"

Like two fighting cocks, Sun Ya and Francis? Philips gasped and stared at each other, both in expression and in the eyes.

Taking a breath, the two sat down at the same time.

They all have to take a break and think about it.

However, Philips knew that it would be difficult for him to refuse the other party.

And Sun Ya finally understood after arguing for so long that her younger brother was definitely not going to throw out the 50 million dollars as soon as his head was hot, and he even did not hesitate to give up tens of millions of dollars in royalties and box office income, that kid definitely knew better than anyone else in his heart!

Otherwise, why would people rather give so much money than invest in him?

"Huh, little villain!"

After taking a sip of water, Sun Ya couldn't help but secretly curse Sun Peng.

That kid is really a chicken thief, I'm afraid he knows that the negotiation with the other party will be extremely difficult, so he simply threw the matter to her agent, and then went to Youzai by himself, right?

But after scolding her younger brother, Sun Ya shook her spirits again.

Although she was arguing with the other party and was in an irritable mood, Sun Ya at this moment suddenly felt the passion of standing in the courtroom, and she was also full of expectations for the long negotiations ahead......
