Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Strong Are Honored (Ninth Update!) )

The moment he returned to reality, Xuluo immediately became excited.

He hugged the girl next to him hard, and said happily, "Classmate Yu, you are really my nobleman!

Yu Feihong: "!?"

The pretty girl looked at Xuluo with the same look as she looked at the neuropath.

Chen Xiyue, who was driving in front, didn't know what was going on, but smiled and said, "Please, pay attention! Don't get tired of being crooked in front of your sister, isn't this bullying?"

Concubine Yu's face flushed, and she quickly turned her head away, ignoring the madman next to her.

Xuluo also felt that he was out of shape, and smiled embarrassedly.

He was really excited at this point.

The most important reason for bringing baby number two is to expect her to open up future memories for herself.

Belch......

Although almost all future memories are film and television, film and television alone, it is enough to use it.

He doesn't pick.

But he never expected that this was only the second day, and he "saw" a wonderful future memory reset.

In this "Friends" TV series, "only" 60 episodes appeared in Xuluo's eyes, but every episode was so exciting.

Six young corners, together because they share a house, the stories that happen in them include warmth, hardship, loss, success, and love......

Looking at their days is like looking at a life similar to their own.

It seems that many people can find their own shadow in them.

Even if there are some unique cultures and living habits of the country, Xuluo also "watched" it with relish and thought it was quite interesting.

A TV series like this, even a Chinese person who has never lived in Mi can afford to watch it, it is definitely a divine drama.

Maybe it's not worse than the current dramas such as "Happy Hotel" and "Seinfeld".

Baby No. 2 is a drama as soon as she gets started, and Xuluo gives her a hug, which is normal.

Oh yes.

The most brilliant and beautiful girl Xuluo saw in "Friends" - Rachel is the blonde beauty on the billboard in front of her.

It's just that she has brown hair in the play.

But it's just as fascinating.

……

Originally, Xuluo thought that Michael Cratton was a person who mainly wrote books, and there should not be many people in his studio.

When I arrived, I realized that there were more than 10 employees in the studio.

When I asked Chen Xiyue, she replied that these people were responsible for Michael Cratton's book publishing, sales verification, collection, and copyright licensing...... and so on.

and Michael Craton is responsible for the follow-up of some of the films, which they are taking care of.

It is said that the books written by Michael Cratton, all kinds of copyrights add up, and they continue to earn him more than $10 million a year, and if you add him to write and direct movies, it can be much higher.

This made Xuluo very envious.

Writing a book in China is purely a chore, and the author doesn't make much money at all.

….

Generally, if you write a book, the publisher will give you 100, 500, 1000...... Then it was bought out, and the rest has nothing to do with you.

People in Western countries, including Xuluo, who published "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider", also calculated remuneration directly according to royalties.

The selling price of a book x the agreed royalty amount x the number of published copies = the pre-tax royalty income you can get.

For example, the 500,000 royalty income obtained by Xuluo was obtained through this formula.

And then it's like Michael Bryton, every time it's reprinted, there's revenue coming in.

And if the number of sales reaches

To a certain extent, the royalty ratio will also be further increased, which means a further increase in income.

Look!

How nice is that!

People can write a book to support themselves, or even make a fortune.

But in China, there is not even food and clothing.

That's not going to work!

Change has to be made!

With this in mind, the boy walked into Michael Cratton's office.

Michael Cratton rents a small suburban building, similar to a small cottage, with a remodeled room and a rather large office.

However, he doesn't write here on weekdays, he likes to write in his study at home.

This is where he handles his studio.

Seeing the teenager walking in, Michael Crane couldn't help but be surprised.

Although he already knew Xuluo's age, he still had a feeling of "a hero out of a teenager" when he saw it.

The boy who is only 17 years old has already written a script that can dominate the top three box office charts in Xiangjiang.

Then he also wrote a sub that caused the whole of Asia to boil. Games promotional songs.

Two more books published in Japan have now been picked up by electronics manufacturers and are ready to be adapted into games!

All of this made Michael Craton more and more curious about Xuluo.

"Please be seated!"

Bringing him coffee himself, Michael Crane asked the boy, "Do you know English?"

"Yes, but if you want to communicate fluently, you still can't do it." Xuluo said slowly.

"Then you'll have to work harder!" Michael Callton casually said, "English is the most common language in the world, and if you learn it, you will achieve a lot."

This statement is true.

But it still sounds a little uncomfortable.

Xuluo will not laugh at himself in his heart, saying "A thousand years ago, I was respected by the Chinese language...... Now backward is backward, there is nothing to argue.

If you really want to argue, you have to come up with achievements.

It's like seeing the grand scene of Beijing in "Beijing Welcomes You" and "Hello Beijing".

At that time, it should be the time to slap the foreigners who look down on us!

Retracting his thoughts, Xuluo nodded, and handed over the rest of the words to Chen Xiyue for translation.

"As for the fact that you want the rights to adapt, I was unwilling." Michael Cratton said, "But the script adaptation you wrote, and the dinosaur portraits, touched me deeply...... I don't care much about money, I care about whether anyone can shoot this story well! You did it, so I'm handing over the adaptation rights to you, and I hope you don't let me down!"

….

"Don't worry, Mr. Clayton!"

Xuluo replied with a smile, but in his heart he silently recited p.

Your old man is going to have to pay $3 million for the adaptation rights, and you also have to enjoy various profit sharing, and you don't care much about money?

I know that in Miguo, even if it is a very best-selling book, film and television adaptation right, one or two million is enough.

What's more, what you gave me was only the adaptation rights within ten years, and once it can't be filmed within ten years, then you have to take it back, and then you can sell it again.

Tsk, it's really good enough for a writer to do business with you!

Of course, if I can be like you one day, I also think I can ~~

Michael Cratton, who was both a man of letters and a businessman, listened to the promise of Xuluo, and laughed again, "Actually, don't think I'm expensive! For one, I'm quite confident in my book; Second, after looking at your dinosaur portraits, I think that if the movie is good enough, these dinosaur derivatives will definitely sell well, and if you eat meat, I will have to drink soup!"

Xuluo was startled.

I thought to myself, or did I fuel your greed?

"Mr. Clayton, even if the movie is made, you are the original authorized author, and I am the screenwriter and adaptation

Owner, we only get a small part, right?" Xuluo said, "The big head was still taken by the film company."

Xuluo took the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", and according to the legal terms, after the default adaptation of the "Jurassic Park" movie came out, he occupied a huge share of the various derivative benefits arising from it.

Regarding the distribution of various profits of Miguo films, Xuluo learned a lot of insider information from the book given by Wang Fatzi.

In general, there are various derivatives of the movie, including animation, toys, stickers, ...... Wait, count.

If it is done well, it will be more profitable than the box office of the movie.

But the problem is that the Hollywood giants are not vegetarians, and they will definitely take the biggest penny, unless you make it yourself.

But there are countless film companies in Hollywood, why are there only six giants?

Not only do they produce their own films, but more importantly, they have a distribution network around the world.

You make it, and only through them can you sell it to all of North America and the world.

Otherwise, even if it is a good movie, it can only rot in your hands.

Because they control the vital network, they are very strong in terms of profit sharing.

It's been mentioned in several books that it's nice to be able to give you a mouthful of soup, don't think you can eat meat.

Today, Michael Kerry just happened to talk about it, and Xuluo also asked this insider.

"You can't look at it that way." Michael Kletta shook his hand, "They must have taken the big head, and they will often conceal it, make accounts, etc. But on the whole, this is itself a society of the jungle, they are strong, and naturally they should eat the biggest piece of cake.

And if they want to make money, they will inevitably make the whole cake bigger. In this way, although we get a smaller percentage, we get a larger share of the money! In this way, it's actually quite good, better than not being able to sell!"

Xuluo raised his thumbs, "You think so clearly."

….

"Haha, of course!" Michael Calletton laughed, "Your script for "Jurassic Park" is only a small part of my book to make an article, but it is very thrilling, and the market feedback must be good when it is adapted into a movie, so I can't say that I can also rely on this derivative product to pay dividends and become a multimillionaire again!"

Xuluo smiled and said nothing.

Multimillionaire?

According to the movie scene I've seen, the box office alone is indispensable for $200 million, and spin-offs like dinosaurs are definitely popular.

Even if Michael Callton only has less than 2%-5% of the dividend right, it is definitely a terrifying income over the years.

As for Xuluo himself, because he has complete film adaptation rights, he will negotiate with the film company when negotiating.

Chen Xiyue inquired that according to the previous dividend model of film adaptation rights of the same category, even if he doesn't pay a penny, he can get at least 10% of the derivative income dividend right.

If you talk about a tiered dividend method, you will definitely get more.

It's not impossible to have a total income of more than $30 million!

Otherwise, why do you think Xuluo would go to such a bankrupt to buy the rights to "Jurassic Park"?

$3 million!

According to the market price outside, 30 million yuan!

I don't know that the richest man in Chengdu City now has no assets of 30 million yuan~~

Without a tenfold profit expectation, Xuluo is not willing to take such a risk!

……

After laughing, Michael Callton asked Xuluo again: "After winning the adaptation rights, which director are you going to find?"

"I have several considerations, but I haven't decided yet." "But I'm also trying to ask an insider like you, Mr. Clayton, which director is more suitable?"

"If you want to save trouble, sign a contract directly with the Big Six and let them take full responsibility." Michael Cleaton said, "If you control it...... you

It's not just about choosing a director, you have to choose a suitable producer, and after you're done, you have to find a good distribution company...... It's a lot of toss-up."

It can be seen that Michael Callton doesn't think that Xuluo can handle it himself.

Xuluo himself thinks so.

In a place like Mi Country, where you are unfamiliar with life, you want to do everything yourself and let the film company work for you...... What do you think? I didn't dream like this!

So Xuluo continued, "Mr. Clayton, which company do you think would be a better fit?"

Michael Crane pondered for a moment and said, "If it is the most regular veteran powerhouse, it should be the five most suitable for Universal, Paramount, Columbia, 20th Century Fox, and MGM...... I suggest you choose Universal and Paramount."

It can be seen that Michael Callaton is more sincere.

After all, if "Jurassic Park" does well, he will get more for himself, and helping Xuluo is helping himself.

In fact, this is also the advice that Cai Yongchang gave him after Xuluo asked Cai Yongchang before.

Golden Harvest collaborated with 20th Century Fox last year on a blockbuster movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which also had a box office of $135 million in North America and more than $300 million at the global box office!

But now that the account has been settled, the profit share given by 20th Century Fox to Golden Harvest is less than 30 million US dollars, which really makes Golden Harvest so angry that his nostrils are smoking.

You must know that Golden Harvest invested 6 million US dollars in investment alone, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources, and the total amount of capital and interest was only 30 million US dollars, which is very different from the actual income.

Golden Harvest is not without connections in Hollywood.

According to the information they obtained, all the box office revenues plus the sales profits of various videotapes and derivative products, etc., 20th Century Fox could get at least more than 200 million dollars in profits.

Tell me, is there such a selfish partner?!

Therefore, Cai Yongchang asked Xuluo to choose the more stable Universal and Paramount.

Void Luo tends to be global.

He said to Michael Clayton, "Mr. Clayton, I think Universal would be a great partner because they have Spielberg."

Michael Clad slapped the table, pointed at Xuluo and said, "Mr. Xu, I appreciate you! You're my bosom friend! For such a film, Spielberg is the most suitable to do it!"
