"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is now open, and the starting price of the film rights and peripheral derivatives in this auction is $30 million, with a price increase of $1 million each time!" KGB Beauty Agent is presiding over the auction

The last time the American studios bought five films didn't make much money, so everyone became extremely cautious about participating in this auction. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In order not to take advantage of the alliance, the studios reached a verbal agreement that each film would be purchased for no more than $35 million.

Although they control their purchase spending, they can't control the box office revenue, because the tastes of the audience cannot be the same.

"Lost Empire: Atlantis" grossed just over $55 million at the box office, but it cost a whopping $41 million to acquire.

Warner bought "Mulan-1/2" for $100 million, and the total box office of the two films reached more than $150 million, even if calculated at a 70% box office share ratio, it was only barely enough to save the capital.

But if someone loses money in the world, someone makes money.

Columbia and Universal, which bought "The Lion King - 1/2/3", signed a contract worth $240 million.

As the first animated film exported by the alliance to the West, the first animated film series, and the first animated film with a production cost of more than 100 million US dollars, this hype gimmick is enough to attract Western audiences to the theater to find out.

Now the total global box office of the three films has exceeded $480 million, and they are advancing strongly towards the $500 million mark!

"The first auction film was 'The Penguins of Madagascar,' with a starting price of $30 million!"

"$31 million!"

"$32 million!"

"$33 million! Is there a markup? ”

"$33 million for the first time!"

"$33 million for the second time!"

"$33 million for the third !!!!! Deal! Congratulations to MGM Pictures for this masterpiece! ”

The order of the four films in this auction is very particular, according to the box office of later generations.

The lowest film, "The Penguins of Madagascar," was made first, followed by "Bugs," both of which grossed more than $300 million.

"Robots" grossed more than $500 million, while "Ratatouille" went up to $600 million.

The major film companies can't figure out the pulse of the market, and although the quality of 3D animated films is very good, it is doubtful whether the audience can enthusiastically pursue them.

After seeing four films, the top executives of the studios who participated in the auction privately agreed to maintain the original maximum bid price of $35 million each.

So even if the market response is not good, they don't have much profit, and they won't let the damn league make more money.

Therefore, the hammer price of "Bug Squad" is only 31 million US dollars, and the two works with better storylines, "Robot Story" and "Ratatouille", only sold the default cap price of the United States in the end.

The total supply of the four 3D animated films was only $186 million, which certainly did not satisfy the chicken.

In order to deal with the bidding alliance formed by American film companies, the young people of the second goods sacrificed a strategy of vertical and horizontal.

At the offices of Wonderful Films, Elena received the heads of Columbia and Universal.

"Beautiful lady, $400 million, this price is too high, more than twice the highest price at auction, we can't accept it!" Smith, the president of Columbia, thinks it's sky-high

Elena smiled and explained: "First of all, this is a 3D animated movie, and the picture effect is far beyond 2D, and secondly, these four are all excellent works, which can develop a large number of peripheral derivatives. If it weren't for the "Lion King" series, the two wouldn't have come to me for a consultation, right? ”

The four movies that the two companies want to buy are "Flying House", "Super Villain", "The Incredibles", and "Zootopia"!

Yelena offered $400 million, they counteroffered $200 million, and the average price of their intention to buy was only $50 million, which was not much higher than the auction price.

Lumbia and Universal's executives have negotiated a cap of around $80 million.

And each work has a global box office of at least $150 million or more, and there will be a profit margin of more than $20 million.

But if you add peripheral derivatives, such as dolls or something, the profit amount will be greatly increased.

McGregory, president of Universal Company, began to reduce prices in disguise: "It's better to take a step back and $220 million, including peripheral derivatives." ”

"$350 million, including peripheral derivatives!" Yelena is no longer sticking to the high price of $400 million

"$260 million, including peripheral derivatives!" McGregory added another $20 million

"Fixed price, 300 million US dollars, including peripheral derivatives, if it doesn't work, then forget it!" Elena expressed impatience

Smith had to interrupt the bargaining session: "I beg your pardon, ma'am, we need to discuss it privately!" ”

The two presidents went to the bathroom to negotiate secretly, and finally decided to strike while the iron was hot and win these four works.

If it falls into the hands of other companies such as Warner, then after tasting the sweetness, they will definitely not insist on the $50 million cap.

At that time, the cooperative alliance formed by Columbia and Universal will definitely cost more than this to buy a 3D animated film.

"Ms. Yelena, we have decided to buy the rights to these four films, including peripheral derivatives, for $300 million, but with a compensation clause of $20 million each!" Smith is going to insure himself

"Super Villain", "The Incredibles", and "Zootopia" can all make a bunch of dolls, which is exactly what the two studios are looking for.

And if these four films are sold in the form of a $10 package, as long as 100 million people around the world watch the movie, it means a billion dollars at the box office.

"No problem, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Yelena congratulated them on getting their wish

The presidents of the two companies then informed the Swiss bank that they were ready to pay, and then excitedly went to browse the dazzling posters that had been produced for the four films.

From top to bottom in this company, except for Yelena, all KGB or KGB who retired due to injury and illness, they will definitely serve Drip very thoughtfully......

Wonderful Pictures is well paid, salaries range from 200 rubles, 400 rubles, 600 rubles, 800 rubles to 1000 rubles, 1500 rubles, 2000 rubles.

However, the minimum wage is also a cut above the average salary level in Moscow, and it is not too busy in normal times, which is worthy of these conscientious KGBs.

Yelena now earns a monthly salary of 5,000 rubles, and because she has all the items she needs for a beautiful woman, she earns so much that she doesn't know how to spend it.

"Honey, you're amazing, you're just a little rich woman!" The chicken pecks twice on the pretty face of the beautiful woman

"How can there be~!" Elena was a little embarrassed by what she said, and her cheeks immediately flushed.

Although he wears a receiver in his ears and a bugging device in the room, he can be regarded as a remote command on the other side.

However, winning a large order of 300 million US dollars for the first time is also a gratifying achievement, and it is impossible to say it without celebrating.

"By the way, dear, why don't you stick to the initial price, I think they will end up at a premium too!" Elena was puzzled by the chicken's reluctance

"We must first cultivate the 3D animation film market, so that the audience can quickly accept this new thing, and at the same time, let the film companies make money, and then ...... when the time is ripe Hey! "Of course, the chicken has to put a long line to catch a big fish

To make American studios and audiences feel that 3D movies are far superior to 2D, forming a craze for follow-up, they are slowly following up.

When the fish are almost here, they are releasing bombshells - "Kung Fu Panda 1/2/3", "Ice Age 1/2/3", "Madagascar 1/2/3", and "Shrek 1/2/3/4" and other animated movie series!

"Well, it's all up to you!" Yelena has long fallen in love and will obey all the requirements of the chicken.

"Honey, this is a gift for you!" He took out a ring with a ten-carat pink diamond

"Yah~! It's so beautiful, it must be expensive, right? Elena was surprised at first, and then remembered the high price.

Mi Ji put on a ring for the beauty, and praised it without hesitation: "How can there be? All gems will look pale in comparison to you, and besides, my darling has just negotiated a big deal! ”

"Well, it's beautiful!" Elena soothed her fingers and admired them with joy.

As the saying goes: a beauty who doesn't love diamonds is not a good beauty!

Having said that, by taking advantage of the price difference between the two sides of time and space, you can still pour diamonds from this side~!

Even if you don't sell it out and play with it for a few women in the family, you can leave a lot of money, at least tens of millions of dollars!

"Honey, I have a gift for you too!" Elena took a box and opened it with a sweater.

"You knit it yourself?" The chicken was a little surprised

"Well, it's just not worth much!" The beauty is still a little ashamed, this sweater is really different from the pink diamonds that the other party gave her.

The chicken is very cherished: "No, the things that my baby gave me are the most valuable, not to mention that you knit them yourself, it is simply a priceless treasure!" ”

"How can you say it so well! It's just a sweater! "Elena has knitted many things, and this one is just one of them.

"My mom was the only one who knitted a sweater for me, and now she's gone to another world!" The chicken began to touch the scene

Yelena had never heard the other party introduce her family history, so it turned out to be like this: "I'm really sorry for making you sad, I didn't mean to!" ”

"It's okay, this sweater makes me feel a rare warmth, just like being with you, it makes me feel happy and happy!"

Elena immediately hugged the chicken in her arms, and her white arms tightly wrapped around each other's heads, allowing the pair of hemispheres to express their true love.

"Come on, honey, I want to give you everything I have!" Elena initiates a signal of love in the ear of the chicken

"Then let me go first, shall you? I'm about to suffocate! "I don't feel like I'm out of breath anymore

“…… I'm sorry! "Yelena didn't expect to turn romance into embarrassment

Mi Ji looked at his watch, and he was going back in twenty minutes: "It's too late to go to the villa!" ”

"It's okay, it's here, people can hold it!" As long as the other party is happy, Yelena will do her best to cater to it.

Oh my God~! This girl is so understanding!

I thought that at the beginning, I had to do three things in the office......

N hand is not as good as the original goods, forget it, I still don't want her at this time!
