Chapter 992: VAM Agreement
After sleeping in the hotel, Sun Peng and the second sister who arrived earlier quickly entered the state of work.
There is no hurry to meet with Capoca, you can wait until after the Oscar.
After all, there are box office results there, and everyone knows it. And if "The Lion King" wins a few more awards at the Oscars, it will undoubtedly be a plus point for Sun Peng, and it will have some effect.
So before the Oscars, I want to meet the other two waves of people - Haggs Films and Hemens Films, two real giants of Hollywood!
If Capoca is the level of Lionsgate and New Line on the planet, which can be regarded as strong, then Haggs and Hemens are at the level of Warner, Universal or Disney. Perhaps in North America, this gap is not too big, but once the arena is placed on a global scale, the gap between the two levels of influence and distribution ability is so big that it is desperate.
So movies like "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", Sun Peng will only give it to them.
Merely......
The shopkeeper bullying customers is not a casual thing.
Even if I have been looking forward to Laobai's script for a long time, it almost looks like a drooling movie, but when the two Hollywood giants began to contact Sun Ya's side, they put on a lofty posture - of course, not attitude, but momentum.
Of course, they also have this capital!
It's like a hacker or a true lie, if it is filmed and distributed by a Hollywood giant, the box office plus two or three hundred million dollars is just like playing. After all, although Huaxia's film companies have achieved remarkable results in their overseas strategy in recent years, they are still far from Hollywood, an old powerhouse. Maybe the domestic box office in China will not rise but fall, but in some regions of North America, Europe, South America and even Asia, the box office will definitely skyrocket!
And this part of the box office increment is the confidence of the two Hollywood giants to negotiate.
As for Laobai......
With Sun Ya's shrewdness and the experience accumulated in the past few years, and of course, more importantly, Sun Peng's brilliant achievements in recent years, compared with the Hollywood giants, the confidence is definitely not much worse. Therefore, in the long negotiations, everyone is arguing, you come and go, it can really be said that you will meet a good talent!
And then......
Sun Peng, who had been waiting for the results, finally got impatient!
The little wizard had a difficult birth, and now even "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is so difficult to give birth? If it drags on like this, like some directors' films, it takes several years or even more than ten years to prepare, so will his plan be implemented? Do you want to continue to build the IP of Little Wizard?
So after meeting the person in charge of Haggs Films, Sun Peng said straight to the point: "Mr. Pierce, first of all, let me express my attitude: I can accept the reduction of the share, including the share of the box office of the movie and the share of the periphery, this is no problem, but the investment in the film must not be reduced!" If your company feels too risky, I can invest in the full amount of the film, and then your company will take care of the distribution in North America and Europe! ”
For "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", Sun Peng is more confident than anyone else.
As long as you don't die to shoot the second or third part, if you rely on the first part alone, even if you take the original version directly, it will look good enough, let alone the finished product after shooting with the new technology of this era.
"This ......"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Eric of Haggs Films? Mr. Pierce was in a dilemma for a moment.
Since they are willing to negotiate with Sun Ya for so long, Haggs Films is of course very interested in the adaptation rights of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". First, this set of picture books has sold millions of copies around the world and already has a good fan base; After reading the script written by Laobai, as a senior Hollywood expert, he can certainly see the huge potential of this movie.
It's just that when it comes to making a decision, everyone is still a little apprehensive.
After all, although Haggs Pictures has a big family, its film performance in the past two years has been average, and it has rashly invested one or two hundred million dollars to make a Western magic movie written by a Chinese, even if the other party is this laobai, it is never reassuring.
So the best way, of course, is to reduce the cost of shooting.
And this is what Sun Peng is most dissatisfied with, he wants to ensure the best effect. As for the copyright fees and later dividends that the second sister has always insisted on not wanting to reduce, Sun Peng doesn't care too much - one or two points more, one or two points less, it may mean a lot of money, but Sun Peng is more distressed by the loss of time!
So in the face of the people at Haggs Films, Sun Peng did not waste time.
It's just that he's happy here, but Erik? Pierce was embarrassed, frowned and said: "Mr. Bai, in fact, after our detailed evaluation, in fact, there is no need to be so perfect in the details, at least you can save 40 million US dollars in production costs......
"No, no!"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Sun Peng had already interrupted him very simply, shook his head and said, "Mr. Pierce, although we have been talking for a long time, you may not have understood yet!" I can't make a living, and I don't need to, because the final box office is more than enough to make up for the huge cost of production! ”
“……”
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Eric? Pierce Instant Alexander.
What if there was someone else sitting in front of you, even if it was Hollywood's top screenwriter, Eric? Pierce also wants to give the other party a sharp look, and immediately regain the advantage in momentum - who would dare to say such big words?
But the other party is laobai, and he really doesn't know how to refute it.
Count on your fingers, no one has ever failed!
And it's not because of the small number of works, in fact, in recent years, three cartoons, two spy series, as well as The Matrix and Keep Talking, and of course, the two movies directed by himself, all made money, and they made a lot of money! Even TV series, music, and ......
"Sizzle......"
Don't dare to think, think about Eric? Pierce gasped.
No matter how many times he tried to think about the talent of this Mr. Laobai, he felt that this guy was simply not like a person!
But just as he opened his mouth to say something, Eric? Pierce saw Laobai's eyes suddenly light up on the other side, and he was very excited and continued: "That's right! Since you always feel that the risk is a bit too high, or the investment is too high, then I will simply invest some of it...... For example, the 40 million, I will make up for it! As for the dividends in the later stage, we can also use the more popular gambling agreements in recent years, for example, if the global box office is less than 500 million, I only need to share the investment, and no longer receive script dividends or something......"
"VAM agreement?"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Eric? Pierce was stunned. Sun Ya next to her slapped her head, with a helpless look on her face......
