Chapter 932: Missed
"30 million want to win the film adaptation rights? Or even the priority of the back? ”
After listening to the news from the second sister's phone, Sun Peng's expression quickly became strange. If Sun Ya was by his side at this time, he would definitely be able to see the obvious disdain and arrogance on his brother's face at a glance!
It's just a pity that the broker can't see it.
So after a pause, Sun Ya said with a smile: "Anyway, in my opinion, this price is not low!" The adaptation fee is 30 million, and Lotus Pictures also promised that if you are willing to write the script yourself, the production fee will start at 200 million, and if the results are good, you can continue to increase it later......"
"Hahaha......"
This time, without waiting for the second sister to finish speaking, Sun Peng had already laughed.
Sun Ya, who was smiling at this time, was inexplicable, and said angrily after a while: "Stinky boy, what are you laughing at?" Could it be that the price is lower? ”
"Low? Yes, definitely! ”
After the laughter stopped, Sun Peng nodded without hesitation and said: "Sister, let me tell you the truth, I will definitely sell the adaptation rights of "Han Bo and Spirit Stone", but it is definitely not now, and I will not even consider it in the next year or two, unless it is ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless there is a film company that is willing to invest a lot of money in filming and has enough strength to carry out global promotion!"
After taking a deep breath, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Please pay attention, the huge amount of money I am talking about here refers to the kind that costs at least $100 million in production alone. If you invest two or three billion Huaxia coins, you don't need to look at this condition at all, just pass it! ”
"Sizzle...... A hundred million dollars? Playing so big? ”
After listening to Sun Peng's answer, the second sister suddenly gasped!
Then there was a complete silence on the other side of the phone, and Sun Peng quickly guessed the second sister's idea, that is, a "Han Bo and Lingshi" that is not particularly good in terms of reputation and sales at the moment, why did this younger brother dare to shout out a production fee of 100 million US dollars...... Or is it a slogan for starting?
Could it be that this book still has potential that I didn't see?
"Second sister, just talk about it as I say!"
Shaking his head, Sun Peng said with a smile: "So I said that I won't talk about this adaptation right in the next year or two, maybe it won't be the best time until the third or fourth book is published!" ”
"But ......"
After waiting for a while, he found that the second sister said one but there was no follow-up, Sun Peng then smiled: "Don't worry, sister, I know it in my heart!" ”
For the value of this set, Sun Peng couldn't be clearer in his heart.
Although with his current net worth, especially after Jiapeng Games was included in the accounts of TT Games, he can no longer care about the so-called dividends and copyright fees. But first, why is your money cheaper than others? Second, Sun Peng also knows that if those companies really adapt low-budget movies casually, then this thing that he worked so hard to write will be in vain!
What is the box office of the Harry Potter series on the planet with a box office of more than 7 billion US dollars and an industrial chain of hundreds of billions?
Not only a set of books, but more importantly, the huge investment of those publishing houses and Warner Bros., the momentum when the new books are released and put on the shelves, and the crazy accumulation of production costs for the eight films before and after!
The current word......
200 million Huaxia coins want to make a Harry Potter?
Sun Peng would rather keep the adaptation rights in his hands than agree to such a whimsy. It's really not good, he'd rather wait another two years, or simply spend his own money to shoot the first part when the time comes. Anyway, now that I have money, I don't feel distressed at all to take out a billion 800 million to test the water......
……
"A hundred million dollars? Just the production fee? Are you sure? ”
A series of questions came out of Wu Zhifeng's mouth, and with the wide eyes and stunned expression, Wang Lin, who was in charge of communicating with Sun Ya, panicked.
However, after calming down, he still nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Wu, it is said that Mr. Bai said so!" So the agent didn't talk to me much later, and hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words...... Ahem, to be honest, although Mr. Lao Bai is really powerful now, I still feel a little funny after listening to this condition! ”
"Oh? What's funny? ”
Seeing Wang Lin's faint disdain, Wu Zhifeng took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it's funny that he put forward this condition!" If it's an action blockbuster like "True Lies", let alone a $100 million production fee, I'll dare to give you a project report with another 50 percent! But such a children's adaptation of a movie, with an open mouth of six or seven billion Chinese coins, and the ability to distribute and promote it globally, wouldn't the final cost be 200 million US dollars? ”
"Well, so you don't think it's worth it?"
"Of course! It's definitely not worth it! ”
Nodding vigorously, Wang Lin said seriously: "Mr. Wu, in fact, I also heard it in the short exchange, that old Bai teacher attaches great importance to this set of children, and he is also very ambitious, and he seems to want to make it a classic series!" But he forgot one thing, and that was that the reputation of the book seemed to be average...... Of course, I followed your instructions and surveyed the children's opinions, and it was much better, but not to the point where they were obsessed! ”
After a slight pause when he said this, Wang Lin came to a conclusion: "So my opinion is that Mr. Lao Bai may be very ambitious, but whether his transformation can succeed this time, I'm afraid it will take a long time to verify!" At least from the current "Han Bo and Lingshi", I can't see the value of a $100 million investment! ”
"Hmm......"
After listening to his subordinates' answers, Wu Zhifeng frowned and pondered.
As the helmsman of Lotus Pictures, to be honest, he is also a little unhappy at this time - although he and Lao Bai have a very happy cooperation on "Byrne's Identity", and in addition to "Bourne's Identity 3", everyone has also reached a cooperation on Lao Bai's new movie "League of Assassins", not to mention Wu Zhifeng's "Hurricane Rescue" series of Forbidden City Pictures, but ......
No matter how good Lao Bai is, is it worth the company's billions of Chinese dollars to invest in a children's movie?
More importantly, is this old white too inflated?
In the previous "League of Assassins", I dared to shout out the demand for four or five billion production fees without a script, and finally cooperated with the Forbidden City to invest after seeing the script. But after all, it was a very exciting action movie, and it was also the genre that Sun Peng was good at, and this time it ......
"Could it be that this book has the potential of Frozen?"
Thinking of the series of miracles created by Lao Bai, Wu Zhifeng was really a little hesitant.
"Mr. Wu, you ...... It can't really be considered to promise him, right? ”
Looking at Wu Zhifeng's thoughtful look, Wang Lin became more and more apprehensive in his heart.
"Oh, no, it won't!"
After all, he is at the helm of a top film company in Huaxia, Wu Zhifeng quickly sobered up from his contemplation, shook his head and said: "At least judging from the current results of this book, we can invest two or three hundred million Huaxia coins, but a production fee of 100 million US dollars is definitely impossible!" ”
"Hoo ......"
Hearing Wu Zhifeng say this, Wang Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that looking at his subordinates with a relieved look, I don't know why, Wu Zhifeng always felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had just made a very big mistake and missed a great opportunity......
