American Fortune Life

Chapter 174 Copyright Exchange Shares, Who Loses Who Gains?

(Thank you for all the rewards! There are authors!)

Andy clearly remembered that the Twilight Quartet in his previous life had taken away a total of 2.4 billion US dollars in the global box office, except for "Twilight". The two parts of "Breaking Dawn" have invested more than 100 million yuan, and each of the previous ones only cost 60 to 70 million yuan, which is simply a lucrative business.

Not to mention "The Hunger Games" written by Andy, which is also a masterpiece of Xiao Boda, with a total global box office of 2.96 billion.

The global box office of the two series has reached 5.5 billion US dollars. To be honest, these are definitely two cash cows. Rob of Summit Entertainment is optimistic about the future of these two adapted films based on his years of experience in the industry. He still has some concerns about the box office of the films. .

And Andy knows the box office amount, how could he easily sell the money printing machine cheap, don't even think about it, but let him go to a movie company and play by himself, honestly Andy never thought about it, the movie industry, just There is nothing to play with money, an industry that has been around for hundreds of years, and there are too many tricks in it. Those coal bosses in the previous Celestial Dynasty invested in movies with cash, and they were simply cheated to death.

The safest way is to occupy the magpie's nest, especially if it is a film company that is developing well in the foreseeable future, it is simply tailor-made for Andy, and it hardly takes too much effort, as long as it is squeezed out when 2008 comes Two shareholders in the company can complete the annexation of Summit Entertainment.

Andy had already considered these thoughts very clearly before, so he didn't answer Rob Freeman's question directly, but still asked with a smile: "Mr. Freeman, you should be very clear about the real Value, although I don't know much about the film industry, I also like watching movies. Some famous ip movies are in the hands of Liu Da, and each one can make a lot of money. I believe you should also know about me. The terms of cooperation with Warner on "Inception", but what I want to tell you is that these two series of ip and Inception are different, because I believe that once any film company should have these two series at the same time, At least in the next 10 years, you don’t have to worry about profitability, what conditions should you and I raise to be satisfied?”

"This..." Rob Freeman couldn't answer for a while, he heard what Andy meant, that is, don't use the terms of his cooperation with Warner to talk to him, after all, Inception is just a movie , and these two IPs are two series of movies, the value of a good series of movies is a treasure at the bottom of the box that no film company will sell.

Just like MGM,

They are almost bankrupt, and the last resort when they can't make ends meet is to raise money to shoot "007".

The two people brought by Rob Freeman are also face-stricken. They can be brought by Rob, and they are naturally excellent talents in the film industry. It is not difficult for them to understand Andy's words, but they now regret why they didn't Buying the copyright of "The Twilight Saga" at a high price, instead, an annoying guy who was photographed by the young man in front of him was cut off, and it is not completely dependent on the young man's face now.

Well, they can give up completely, no one is forcing them, right? However, they have already missed it once, should they miss the second time, watching other film companies make a lot of money, and then say a sour sentence, if we Try harder, maybe we are the ones making money now!

Anyone who has been in Hollywood understands a truth, the most important thing in Hollywood is opportunity!

There is no regret medicine to buy in this world. Once the opportunity is missed, the fate will have two diametrically opposite endings.

Rob Freeman stared deeply at the smiling young face. He seemed to have figured it out. It wasn't that Andy didn't want to sell the copyright, but that his ambition was too great, and some cash and a few percentage points couldn't satisfy him. appetite.

"We at Summit Entertainment are willing to pay US$10 million plus 20% of the global box office share for the adaptation rights of the two series!"

A gleam flashed in Andy's eyes. Although the cash was a bit low, the 20% box office share has already caught up with Tom Cruise's treatment in "Mission: Impossible". I have to say that Rob Freeman is indeed very sincere. If Andy didn't think about their company, maybe he would really agree.

Smiling and shaking his head, Andy said noncommittally: "Although it's very tempting, it's not what I want. I can spend some money to buy a film company, then invest in my own production, and find one of the six big ones for distribution." , although I earn a little less, but it is much more than the 20% you proposed. At least the copyright is still in my hands, and there are various peripherals, DVDs and so on. The profits brought will be very huge and considerable! "

After listening to Andy's narration, Rob's pupils shrank suddenly. He really understood what Andy was thinking now. He wanted to exchange the copyrights of the two films for the company's shares. It was simply whimsical. Is he crazy? Yes, do you really think that Summit must buy these two IPs?

Although Rob was thinking of despising Andy in his heart, the eyes he looked at Andy became less friendly, but the expression on his face did not change much, and he confirmed seriously: "Mr. Smith means that you want Invest yourself?"

Andy looked at Rob Freeman in front of him with a half-smile. He was sharp and capable, otherwise he would not have become the CEO of Paramount in his 40s, and now he has become the CEO of Summit Entertainment. He couldn't guess his real purpose, and he didn't believe it when he killed Andy. So, he asked questions like this, which meant that he knew that the other party was not optimistic about the matter of copyright exchange for shares.

Andy wasn't discouraged. This matter was originally his temporary idea. Even if it didn't work out, the big deal was to buy a film company and find a good CEO. Just the script and the script in his hand were enough to support an excellent film company. Yes, it's just that in this way, he will spend a lot of energy and a large amount of capital investment, which is the fundamental reason why he gave priority to the plan of dove occupying the magpie's nest.

After Andy figured it out, he smiled casually, took a sip from his coffee cup, and said, "With this in mind, of course, what I hope most is to find an excellent film company to co-produce, because after all, I don't know much about the film industry." Understand, in order to protect my own interests, my condition is to become a shareholder of the cooperative company. If the company is excellent, I can even invest additional funds. Hey, after all, running a new film company requires a lot of motivation. The most important thing is It’s my career, not the film business.”

As soon as Andy's words fell, Rob Freeman and the two people who brought him looked at each other with a sudden change of expression. Now everyone understands that Andy's conditions cannot be so harsh, which is simply unbelievable.

Well, it's not so unbelievable. The current market value of Summit Entertainment is only hundreds of millions of dollars. If you really want to convert it into money to measure investment, the value of IP in Andy's hands is really quite a lot. However, the problem lies in the three shareholders of Summit Entertainment They are all owners who are not short of money. They invest in movies to open up new ways of making profits. If they are short of money, they will not blindly invest in large-scale productions in the future. More than 400 million U.S. dollars have been annexed, which is simply a prodigal.

Summit Entertainment is now in its inaugural period, how could it agree to Andy's request for a copyright exchange for shares?

They think that Andy is a big talker, but Andy doesn't think so, 5.5 billion is the future, and he feels that it is a loss-making deal to replace it now, but you must know that the first part of "Twilight" was released in 2008. At that time, Summit Entertainment Not sure who it belongs to!
