Entertainment Guru Rebirth

The room was quiet.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Gentlemen, since the dividend agreement does not work, then we can go to the gambling contract."

Cole's eyes lit up and said, "What does Mr. Xiao mean?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "What I mean is very simple. It is to determine the proportion of dividends based on the sales of the novel. If the sales of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" exceed 10 million copies, I will account for 100 million copies. Twenty percent of the dividend. If the sales exceed 20 million copies, I will account for 25% of the 10 million copies of the dividend, and so on, until I can account for 100%. What do you think? "

Xiao Yunhai's method is very beneficial to him.

The cultural atmosphere of this world is much stronger than that of the previous life. The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker.

Just like Xiao Yunhai’s martial arts novels, one is better than one. Today’s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has more than 50 million copies. After reading this novel, fans who think they are very good return to buy In this way, Xiao Yunhai's other three novels formed a virtuous circle.

The sales of other writers' works are not even worse than Xiao Yunhai's.

Xiao Yunhai sold 50 million copies. They could sell 5,000 or 50,000 copies.

The seven "Harry Potter" has sold four hundred and five thousand copies in the previous life, and it is conservatively estimated that it can be at least half as high as 900 million copies in this world.

Even with an average of 100 million copies, the benefits of Xiao Yunhai's method would be far higher than the dividends given by Ge Lin and the others.

Besides, once "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" became popular around the world, the starting point of copyright would not be 20%.

Green said: "This is a good way. Mr. Xiao, we need to discuss it and give you the answer later."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course."

Xiao Yunhai and Jessie got up and walked out of the reception room to make room for them to discuss.

Xiao Yunhai stood in front of the corridor window and asked, "Jesse, do you think they will agree to my dividend method?"

Jesse said confidently: "Definitely. Their pursuit of money is far beyond your imagination. However, 20% of the starting point is impossible. They will suppress it to 10%. In the end, both sides step back. , Become 15%. This is their strategy."

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "How dare you be so sure."

Jessie smiled and said, "I know them too well. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet on a bottle of French Louis XIII, how about?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Then it must be fixed. I tell you, I have never lost gambling with people in recent years."

Jessie said confidently: "This time you will lose."

The two were talking and laughing, Cole opened the door, smiled and said: "Two gentlemen, our discussion has come to fruition."

Xiao Yunhai and Jesse looked at each other and returned to the reception room together.

Xiao Yunhai asked, "I don't know what the four gentlemen have discussed?"

Cole smiled and said: "We completely agree with Mr. Xiao's distribution method, but the starting dividend point should be at 10%."

When Xiao Yunhai heard it, he glanced at Jesse, who was proud of his face, and said, "This is impossible. Ten percent is too low, and I would never agree with it anyway."

Green said: "Mr. Xiao, we think this ratio is very appropriate. If you want to reach 30%, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" only needs to sell for 50 million."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Ge Lin, I want to ask you, in the past two years, your publishing house has sold several works with sales of more than 50 million. Let alone 50 million, I am afraid that 30 million Not much."

Green Road: "This book has this potential."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, really tired of this kind of wrangling in his heart, so he said: "We can take a step back each, 15%. This is my bottom line. I agree, we can continue talking, and disagree. ,forget about it."

Hearing what Xiao Yunhai said, the four of them pretended to discuss, and finally Cole smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Xiao Yunhai also showed a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the four of Cole separately, and said, "I think our cooperation will definitely achieve a win-win result."

After half an hour, both hands signed a contract.

Xiao Yunhai sold the distribution rights of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to four publishing houses, allowing them to sell it anywhere outside the United States.

Originally, Cole and others wanted to bundle the other six novels of Xiao Yunhai and talk about it. For this reason, they did not hesitate to increase the starting dividend point of 15% to 25%, but they were still affected by Xiao Yunhai. Yunhai sternly refused.

Just kidding, once the first film is popular all over the world, Xiao Yunhai’s next six films will only be sold at his own expense. Even if 20% of the profits he earns need to be distributed to the publishing house, he will earn far more than this dividend method. There are so many.

After the matter was over, Xiao Yunhai called Kerry and told him to postpone the noon appointment to the afternoon, and then he had a banquet for four people with Jesse.

After eating, Cole and others were sent to Los Angeles International Airport, Xiao Yunhai came to Kerry's office.

Kerry looked at Xiao Yunhai as he walked in, with an expression that was extremely rich, regretful, annoyed, depressed, resentful...

Xiao Yunhai naturally knew what he was doing. He smiled and said, "Kerry, you need to be magnificent. Don't think about it."

Kerry was crying and said, "What do you make me want to open. You used to get the rights to five Harry Potter movies for five million dollars, but now you need to buy it at five percent of the box office. Use it. What you said is that my bowels of regret are all green."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "You have to think so. If this novel is not as popular as it is now, would you still shoot it? Probably not. Kerry, you have to know that I spent time to promote this novel. For a full 100 million dollars, if you change to you, can you do it?"

When Kerry heard this, he sighed, shook his head, and said, "Not only would I not do this, but no one with a brain would do it. Xiao, in this matter, your vision and courage make I admire it very much."

Xiao Yunhai smiled, and secretly said in his heart: "If you had also come from a previous life, it would be ruthless than me to promote it."

Kerry said: "We have decided to shoot "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the near future. Xiao, the investment you promised back then is okay, right?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course. You know, I am not short of money."

Having said this, Xiao Yunhai’s expression suddenly changed very solemnly, and said, "However, Kerry, I want to remind you that this movie is our first "Harry Potter" and can only succeed, not fail. . Therefore, I hope you MGM will take it seriously."

Kerry's face also became very serious, and said: "I understand. In order to make this movie well, we invited Mr. Bickwin, who is known as the number one director of Hollywood magic to direct it, and gave him the greatest freedom. , All the actors in Hollywood let him choose, the funds are not enough, we will add. There is only one purpose, to fire the first shot of "Harry Potter."

Xiao Yunhai smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that it is a good choice to hand over "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to you."

Kerry said: "However, Xiao, we spent such a high price to make this movie, just to prepare for the next six movies. If you lose your promise and don't give us the later "Harry Potter", then I... "

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Kerry, I am not the kind of person who doesn’t count. The reason why I didn’t give you the rights to the remaining six movies is because I’m afraid that you MGM will not Knowing to cherish it, if you shoot me a few bad movies, won't I lose a lot. Kerry, how much box office do you think this movie can reach?"

Kerry thought for a while and said: "If "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can be sold worldwide, I think it should be at least 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. After all, this is going to be released globally."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Then we will use 1.5 billion US dollars as the line. As long as the box office of the previous movie reaches 1.5 billion US dollars, the copyright of the next movie will also be sold to you at 5% of the box office. . However, if it doesn’t reach 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, it shows that you have not done your best, and I can only ask someone else. This can be written in the contract.

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Kerry was about to cry, and said with a smile: "Xiao, I should have said one billion dollars just now. Oh my god, you made me regret it again."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Didn't you say that? At least it can reach 1.5 billion U.S. dollars~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I have been very beneficial to you according to the minimum line given by you. Kerry, you quickly prepare Contract, I need to return to China at ten in the evening."

Kerry asked: "Why is it so urgent?"

Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm still making a movie there. Can you not hurry?"

Kerry smiled and said, "Good. You'd better find a lawyer and I will print the contract."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai and Kerry signed the contract under the witness of their lawyers.

After signing the contract, Xiao Yunhai, Kerry and Jesse went out for a meal. The top bottle of Louis XIII that just lost to Jesse cost 70,000 US dollars, which made Xiao Yunhai very distressed.
