Chapter 985: Trust
"can write the magnificent soundtrack of "The Lion King", and Lao Bai is the only one in Huaxia!"
"The Prairie version of "The Prince's Revenge", why can "The Lion King" kill moviegoers of all ages?"
"It's another animation masterpiece led by the American company Caboca, when will DreamWorks be weaned?"
……
In the age of the Internet, it is almost impossible to read the reviews about The Lion King. In fact, Sun Peng has no interest in watching more, because he has already watched the whole film of "The Lion King", although the preconceived concept makes him feel that the newly produced 3D is not even as aura as the original 2D, but it is definitely a good work, so the popularity of "The Lion King" in this world is completely expected.
What's more, before this animation, there was also a "Frozen" as a foreshadowing?
As for the fear of the incompatibility of the times, the three-dimensional animation could not reflect the charm of the original version, etc., under the impact of the high box office, Sun Peng had long been left behind!
Now for this "The Lion King", Sun Peng's only interest is the final box office figures......
"So as soon as the box office came out on the first weekend, the price of your picture book adaptation rights skyrocketed by at least 50% again!"
Holding the small notebook in her hand, Sun Ya said calmly: "The most eagerness among them is undoubtedly Capoca, they even offered a script of 20 million US dollars plus 12% dividends, just to win the copyright of "Despicable Me"...... This is only a preliminary offer, and it can definitely be negotiated later! ”
"Goo-dong!"
At this moment, a strange voice came from the side.
Sun Peng and the second sister's eyes drifted over at the same time, and then Lin Lin next to him suddenly blushed, stiffened his neck and said, "What are you looking at?" I, I just was surprised...... This Capoo company is really generous! 20 million plus 12% box office dividends, wouldn't it be possible to get more than 100 million US dollars just by relying on an animated Xiaopeng? ”
"Cut!"
Seeing Lin Lin's eyes shining, the sister and brother gave her a roll of the eyes at the same time!
Especially Sun Ya, who knows very well how much money her brother has earned in the two or three years since the release of "Frozen", is even more disdainful, and pouts: "Look at your little talent!" Tsk, more than $100 million? This is just the basic salary and box office dividends, okay? But if you want our Xiaopeng to nod, they must add the corresponding peripherals and follow-up copyright dividends, so the income must at least be doubled! ”
"Sizzle...... I've made a fortune! ”
Hearing this, Lin Lin finally stopped being reserved, and immediately gasped.
Counting on her fingers, Lin Lin is now a good figure in the film industry, especially after the box office of "The Matrix" became popular, in addition to being eligible to share the movie, some film companies have called her a salary offer of 35 million!
I believe that after the release of "League of Assassins", it is natural that it will continue to skyrocket.
But if you want to earn at least $200 million like Sun Peng, at least twenty or thirty movies at Lin Lin's current level! And even if she can mix with Liang Ren and Michael in the future? At this level, Pitt has to star in four or five blockbuster works to have any hope......
People are more angry than people!
Ignoring his cousin, who was obsessed with money, Sun Peng continued to ask: "Sister, I don't plan to sell the adaptation rights of "Despicable Me" for the time being, "Mulan" has been given to DreamWorks, if Capoca is interested, let them choose one of the other sets of picture books!" ”
Originally, Sun Peng was not going to give it to the Americans, but it was really unrealistic to think about it.
After all, Huaxia's ability in animation is still weaker, and Sun Peng is now publishing picture books one after another, if you really want DreamWorks to make them all, I really don't know what year I want to do. Therefore, from the perspective of maximizing profits, it is undoubtedly the best choice to hand over part of the adaptation rights of picture books to other companies.
If the cooperation with Caboca is so pleasant, why can't it continue?
It's just that the other party wants the adaptation rights of the picture book "Despicable Me", and Sun Peng is reluctant to do it - not to mention how much the global box office of the trilogy is, don't forget that there are also derivative Minions, and it is easy to make a series.
"Okay, what about Zootopia?"
Sun Ya was not surprised, and quickly continued: "The other party said that if "Despicable Me" is not good, I hope to get the adaptation rights of "Zootopia"...... Can you talk about this? ”
"Zootopia...... OK! ”
After pondering for a while, Sun Peng simply nodded.
Although he is also very reluctant, firstly, Sun Peng only has one "Crazy Zootopia" in his memory, and secondly, this film ...... How so? The content is a bit dark, and at the same time, the development of topics such as politics and killing also requires the director and the production company to have strong control, and the slightest negligence is a tragic result. So instead of leaving it to DreamWorks to try their luck, it is better to leave it to Hollywood, which is more mature and stronger.
And......
On the one hand, Sun Peng can make money, and on the other hand, this animation can occupy at least two or three years there, so why not? You must know that using Sun Peng's picture book means that it is very likely to continue to use his script, as well as soundtracks, interludes, etc., so many positions are occupied by Sun Peng alone, which means that many elites in Hollywood have lost an opportunity......
Well, that's a long way off.
It's just that you can start talking, and the hundreds of millions of deals that you want to negotiate will definitely not be completed in the short term. So after chatting casually for a few words, Sun Peng focused on two key projects: "Sister, let's put aside the matter of Cappoca first, what I am concerned about now is the adaptation of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" and "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", how are these two sides talking? ”
"This ......"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Sun Ya hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The progress in Hollywood is going well, Haggs Pictures and Haymen Pictures have preliminarily agreed to your conditions, and now there is fierce competition...... All we have to do now is wait for their side to win, and then just pick and choose. ”
"Hey......
When he heard this, Sun Peng couldn't help but hey.
Of course, he understood what the second sister meant, the so-called fierce competition was nothing more than an offer to Lao Bai. This not only includes the various incomes and dividends that Sun Peng can get, but also the investment in the film, the selection of directors and the amount of publicity and distribution costs, etc., in short, whoever has good conditions can win this competition.
"However, in the case of "Han Bo and Spirit Stone", the negotiation is very difficult!"
Seeing that Sun Peng was very happy, the agent quickly poured cold water on his head: "Although you prefer Nanhai Pictures more, I have to say that their trust in you is far less than that of the Forbidden City and Lotus......"
