Chapter 302 - Going to Hollywood for Development?

Next to the set, Huo Mingjie, who was talking to his cheap nephew, suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be watching him.

He looked sideways slightly, and saw Zhao Liying, who was holding the box in the distance, was looking at him.

Thinking that today was the completion of the little girl, Huo Mingjie nodded slightly, and showed a gentle smile from afar.

Seeing this, Zhao Liying immediately avoided her gaze in a panic, not daring to look this way.

Seeing this, Huo Mingjie raised his eyebrows slightly.

Co-authored this girl, she hasn't walked out of the shadow that she almost robbed her of the role at the beginning......

"Second uncle?"

Huo Chengyin, who was on the side, noticed his loss of consciousness at this time, and couldn't help but ask.

Huo Mingjie retracted his gaze, then nodded:

"I'll listen, you go on!"

Huo Mingjie glanced over there, nodded, then shook his head again, and continued to return to the main topic:

"I said this IP, the price of buying it is really not cheap!"

The IP he said was the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that Huo Mingjie had specially instructed him to buy as soon as possible.

And this time, for the filming of the TV series in the future, Huo Chengyin picked several copies in one go and bought the film and television adaptation rights.

These copyright prices basically fluctuate in the range of 100,000 to 300,000.

And the price of the ghost blowing lamp, that is much more expensive!

The film and television adaptation rights, plus the property rights of the author, cost a total of 1.6 million.

This price could have been slightly lower, but there were competitors who also took a fancy to this IP copyright, and they were also in contact, so they added another 100,000.

Although it is different from those female romances that only have dozens of chapters, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" has been serialized in four volumes, and the author intends to continue to write it.

But just looking at the price, it is really too expensive......

On the Internet in later generations, there are always people who say that the author was drunk on the wine table, and then sold his IP copyright for 100,000 yuan.

But in fact, this can probably only be said to be the author's self-deprecating words when he regrets it.

For the original contract, the copyright fee is as high as 1.5 million, and there is a follow-up film and television revenue share, which is already the highest level of copyright fees.

And the reason why the author regretted it was entirely because ten years later, the same theme was still imitating "Notes on Tomb Robbery" written by "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the IP value even exceeded 20 billion at the peak.

Looking at the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" again, not only did he lose the IP copyright in his hand, but even the right to continue was bought, and the name of the protagonist "Hu Bayi" can no longer be used.

In such a comparison, it's no wonder that the author doesn't regret it!

But now, this copyright has been won by Huo Mingjie, which may not be a good thing.

Because Huo Mingjie is not ugly, he finally left the right to continue writing to the author, maybe the author of this plane will be able to write a few more new stories in the future......

At this time, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but continue:

"And this kind of theme, I always feel that I can't broadcast it!"

What tomb robbery, zombie zongzi, curses, sacrifices, and soldiers are dissolved into immortals......

These words, generally only one of them can't pass the trial, and they can't be broadcast on the stars, let alone they are all complete?

To be honest, if it weren't for his second uncle who had to buy it, he really didn't want to buy the copyright here.

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he smiled and comforted:

"Take a long-term view, stock up more IP copyrights now, and it will be of great use in the future......"

"Didn't we invest in a video platform called 'Le TV', and when the time is ripe in the future, we will shoot and broadcast it on the website!"

The progress on Xiang Zixin's side is also quite smooth.

He contacted the companies that Huo Mingjie liked one by one, and invested in them, obtaining more or less shares.

Recently, in the corresponding circles, gossip has begun to circulate, saying that there is a company that invests very generously and does not mix much with the company's operation, which is simply the dream investment company of entrepreneurs.

There is also a little blue bird on the other side of the ocean, and even because of Huo Mingjie's previous investment record in YouTube, he has suddenly gained the attention of many investment companies in the industry......

Hearing his second uncle's words, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but mutter:

"Broadcast online? How much money can I make in that way? ”

Many of the online video platforms in these years have not figured out how to monetize. The cheap nephew doesn't understand these either, and it is natural for him to have doubts.

That is to say, Huo Mingjie said this, otherwise he wouldn't believe it......

Huo Mingjie smiled, and did not explain too much, but turned to say:

"Actually, if you modify it, you can change it to an adventure plot like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Tomb Raider, and it can also be made into a movie!"

The movie "Looking for the Dragon" is also very good at the box office.

If it weren't for the fact that Wanda didn't have the copyright below, he would really be able to make a whole ghost blowing the lantern series of movies!

Talking about this, Huo Mingjie took the opportunity to ask again:

"How's it going on over there in the cinema line?"

"It's okay, Dadi Cinema Line has left us 10% of the shares. Less is less, but it's almost enough! ”

Because he wanted to lay out the cinema industry, he came into contact with a Hong Kong-funded Dadi Cinema Line through the Hong Kong Island Investment Company that he had previously cooperated.

The capital on Hong Kong Island is quite optimistic about the mainland film market, so it is reluctant to give up too many shares.

If it weren't for the fact that the cinema industry in the mainland is now mixed, the situation is unclear, and disputes are continuous, in order to share the risks, they may not even be willing to let them participate.

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie nodded and said:

"That's enough, take your time later."

It's just an early layout, and it really doesn't take much.

In fact, in the cinema industry, he knows that Wanda will stand out in the future and develop the best.

It's just that it has just been established, and it hasn't even really become independent, so even if you want to get involved, you can't find a way, so Huo Mingjie started from elsewhere......

After chatting about these topics, Huo Chengyin suddenly said with a straight face:

"One more thing, second uncle, do you know Lionsgate?"

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said:

"Isn't it the film company over there?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Huo Chengyin nodded, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Since last year, the company has been preparing a Hollywood blockbuster for China, are you interested?"

"A Hollywood blockbuster for China?"

Huo Mingjie thought for a moment, but asked uncertainly:

"You said, it can't be the "King of Kung Fu", right?"

"Hey, yes, it turns out that you also heard about the second uncle!" Huo Chengyin suddenly clapped his hands and nodded.

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he couldn't help but look at Huo Chengyin, his eyes were slightly surprised.

"When will you be able to access Hollywood connections?"

If that's the case, isn't the cheap nephew's social skills a little too scary......

When Huo Chengyin heard this, he smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Hi, no. Lionsgate is a company that has developed too fast in the past two years, and the pace has been too big, resulting in some difficulties in funding. ”

"So this "King of Kung Fu", I plan to introduce funds from our mainland to participate in the filming."

Although his social skills are full, he will not be able to develop his contacts to Hollywood on the other side of the ocean all at once.

If it weren't for the wind coming out of the Lion Gate, Huo Chengyin wouldn't have been able to take a peek.

Huo Chengyin touched his chin and said:

"I wondered, shouldn't we have to take the international route in the future? We still have a lot of money to spare, why don't you take this opportunity to give it a try? ”

If you put aside the memory of foresight, just looking at the existing lineup information of this movie, it is still quite exaggerated.

It is estimated that the investment of 70 million US dollars, the director of Hollywood blockbusters, invited Uncle Long and Li Lianjie.

Although the heroine has not been decided, there are a few female stars in China who are eager to try.

It was a great opportunity to enter Hollywood with this film!

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he pouted and said:

"Forget it, I can't afford to lose ......"

How much did this movie end up at the box office?

Anyway, it didn't make any money, and it ended up with a result that was not pleasing to both sides!

And Hollywood, people in the circle may not have figured it out yet, but Huo Mingjie, who has memories more than ten years later, still can't understand it?

In short, people don't want to have fun with you, so why bother squeezing into a circle!
