Chapter 385: Do Something Else
A song "Sudden Love" made Sun Peng's forced style skyrocket in an instant.
It's just that the three songs that have been prepared for a long time are not bad, but after all, they can't shock the two stars too much, but after coming to Tokyo and playing for two days, they came up with a theme song of Tokyo Love Story, but it is still the song with the highest sales of Japanese singles in history on the planet, which is more shocking.
The stars are shocked, and the lawyers are naturally shocked.
These people may not understand the quality of songs, but they can see people's eyes very well, and after discovering that Tanaka and Aoki are more enthusiastic about Sun Peng, they naturally begin to do their best to help others. The contract for the song was naturally smooth sailing, and it was signed quickly, and then Sun Peng said goodbye to Tokyo and began to travel to Kyoto with Zheng Jia - he was still very interested in Kyoto, which often appears in Japanese animation.
Then after a day of travel in Kyoto, when he just returned to the hotel, Sun Peng received a call from his second sister......
"That is, Americans are interested in Frozen?"
Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng asked thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of that Capoca animation company, it should be pretty good, right?" “
"It's not bad, it's very powerful!"
Through the phone, Sun Peng could feel the helplessness in the second sister's voice.
After a pause, Sun Ya continued: "I was shocked when I first heard that Capoca was interested in your picture books, and then I felt even more amazing when I learned about the situation in detail in the past two days...... Do you know how much their "My Happy World" last year had at the global box office? More than $600 million! “
"Yo, that's pretty good!"
Blinking, Sun Peng smiled and nodded.
After Sun Peng finished speaking, the second sister continued: "Although strictly speaking, Kaboka can only rank third among animation companies in the United States, but you must know that there are only three companies in the United States that have the ability to produce high-cost animation, and Caboka is also a company under the Frank Media Group, and its distribution capacity is almost all over the world, which is very powerful!" “
"Hmm."
Nodding, Sun Peng's expression finally became serious.
It's just a matter of being able to make excellent and good-looking animations.,After all, as long as you're willing to spend money to dig people and dig up technology.,It takes a few more years to make a high-quality product.。 But what does it take to recoup the cost of a huge investment? It can only be a strong distribution ability, otherwise how much can an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars be made by relying on the US box office alone? What's more, for animated films, the sales of other peripheral products are more important, otherwise the strength of Japanese animation on the earth is also quite strong, why can't it be marketed around the world like Disney animation?
Capital, technology, and influence are all indispensable.
Take the current Chinese movies as an example, even if they made high-quality products in the early years, they couldn't sell them, so they could only play tricks in China. Later, step by step, he first regained lost territory at home, then began to slowly march into Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, then Europe, South America and other places, and finally began to counterattack the North American continent. Even so, only two companies barely have the ability to distribute globally, and in addition to neighboring countries, only those who have invested huge historical masterpieces have this treatment!
As for cartoons?
Don't talk about the beauty of people, let's catch up with Japan first!
So thinking of his far-reaching animated film plan, Sun Peng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sister, since the other party is interested, what conditions did they offer?" “
"They want to buy out the rights to Frozen at one time, two million dollars!"
"Impossible!"
After hearing this answer, Sun Peng replied categorically almost without thinking: "It is impossible to sell for two million dollars, even if it is five million!" Tell them that I only accept one way, and that is omni-channel sharing, including the movie box office and various peripheral ...... No, no! “
As soon as he said two sentences, Sun Peng immediately shook his head again and overturned his statement.
The original "Frozen", what kind of movie is it?
Sun Peng knows very well that this is a box office masterpiece with a global box office of nearly 1.3 billion US dollars, and the Japanese market has rushed to the top three in history, and it is also a 1.3 billion US dollars obtained in the mainland market with only less than 300 million yuan. And Sun Peng also knows that although Bingxue's box office in the mainland is not high, it does not mean that he is not popular, because he was the most experienced when he brought his niece.
The concert of "Frozen", the books of Frozen, Aisha and Anna's princess dresses, magic wands, and of course, Xuebao's dolls, etc., even Disney's ice show, which is the kind of ticket that costs hundreds, Sun Peng has also seen it, and the one who received the most applause and cheers from all the characters is Princess Aisha, and there is no one!
Within two years of its release, "Frozen" brought Disney $3 billion in revenue, and then almost $1 billion a year followed......
With this kind of top-level IP, Sun Peng will be satisfied with selling out the copyright? Or settle for a simple split?
It's just that his thoughts made the second sister stunned for a long time, and it took a long time before she said dryly: "Eh, then what do you mean?" It's just a picture book, what other conditions are you going to want? Do you plan to keep it for yourself? ”
"This ......"
Frowning, Sun Peng was also a little numb for a while.
If you want to do it yourself, it is obviously unrealistic, at least not in the short term, after all, whether it is his dream factory or the level of Chinese animation, it is not enough to support a big production like "Frozen" for the time being. But he was reluctant to sell it to Capoca and get a share of Sun Peng, after all, he knew too well the future income of this animation......
"Sister, do you want me to think about it?"
After being silent for a moment, Sun Peng smiled bitterly: "This news came too suddenly, give me a few days to think about it...... How about we talk about it when I get back? ”
“…… All right. ”
Sun Ya had no choice but to nod and hang up the phone.
"What's wrong? Is it Sister Ya's phone? “
As soon as Sun Peng put down his mobile phone, Zheng Jia, who had just finished taking a shower, asked curiously.
"Well, there are companies in the United States that have taken a fancy to Frozen."
Leaning on the sofa, Sun Peng told the two of them what they were talking about just now, and then said with a smile: "This "Frozen" was born because of you, what do you think should be done?" “
Glancing at Sun Peng, Zheng Jia said angrily: "Got involved with me again?" The book you write, you decide! But...... You don't even do anything, so optimistic about the future of this book? “
"Of course!"
Grinning, Sun Peng snapped his fingers and smiled: "I am absolutely confident in my work, if this book is adapted into animation, it will definitely be the kind that can earn ten yuan or more if you invest one piece!" In fact, if it weren't for the fact that DreamWorks was too weak to cooperate with other large domestic companies and couldn't do too well, or couldn't push it out if it was done well, I would never have considered cooperating with the Americans! “
”……“
Looking at her boyfriend's confident appearance, Zheng Jia was speechless for a moment.
Of course, she couldn't understand where Sun Peng's confidence came from, so listening to her boyfriend's words always felt a little inexplicable and fantastical. In Zheng Jia's opinion, since he can't do it himself, he naturally sells it to others to do it, does he have to wait for ten or twenty years to fail?
However, Zheng Jia generally does not interfere with Sun Peng's decision, so he said casually: "If it really doesn't work, you can participate in the investment, anyway, it's not that you don't have money, wouldn't it be good to spend tens of millions of dollars and go out and do it together?" “
"Huh?"
Sun Peng was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, his eyes gradually lit up!
However, under Zheng Jia's stunned gaze, Sun Peng suddenly grabbed the hotel's phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is it Mr. Mochizuki?" …… Yes, I'm Sun Peng! “
"There's one thing I'd like to ask you about, but I wonder if you know any of the companies that are making animated films in Japan. Before I go back to Huaxia, I want to talk to a company about cooperation......"
"Please!"
After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng immediately ushered in Zheng Jia's shocked question: "Hey, it's obvious that you want to negotiate the copyright of "Frozen" with the Americans, why do you ask people to help contact the Japanese animation company?" Do you want to make it with them? ”
"Hehe, of course not!"
After laughing, Sun Peng shook his head and said: "Although the Japanese animation strength is strong, I am afraid that there is still a little distance from making the "Frozen" I want, but if I don't do "Frozen", I can also do some other things!" ”
