Chapter 1395 (1/2)
When Li Mu heard that Hollywood was competing for the copyright of Hongkong films, he was very pleased with this.
What he wants is not to make money by hyping Hong Kong film copyright, but to help Hong Kong films and even Chinese films go abroad.
”Hong Kong Films” is a special term for Chinese. Only Chinese can divide films into Hong Kong films, mainland films and Taiwan films. In front of the whole world, whether mainland films or Hong Kong and Taiwan films, there is a general designation - Chinese films.
If a Hong Kong Film catches fire in North America, it will pull the whole Chinese film industry to a certain extent. Now Hollywood begins to scramble for Hong Kong films. Soon, it will start to scramble for other Chinese films in mainland China and Taiwan.
Before that, an excellent Chinese film sold to the North American distributors was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Except for the value of its own films, Hollywood looked down on all overseas films equally, so the offer was also as low as possible. In their opinion, the North American market has such a large demand for overseas films every year, overseas films There are so many films in so many countries every year. There are thousands of films to talk about. The lower the price, the better.
But now, because of the success of zombie master, Hollywood has a good look at Chinese films. In the future, there will be a wave of Chinese film fever in the whole North American market.
In Li Mu's view, the more excellent Chinese films can be released in North America or other countries, the more successful the Chinese films and the output of Chinese culture are.
However, the film companies in Hong Kong don't see the problem in this way. They have been struggling for so long in the depression of Hong Kong film industry. Suddenly, thanks to Li Mu's efforts, the film copyright that has no profit ability has been kept in their hands, which has been endowed with commercial value again overnight. So what they think now is just one thing, that is how to do it Take the opportunity to make more money with the film copyright in your hand.
After the price plunge of Infernal Affairs, Huanya immediately contacted several first-line film companies in Hong Kong. The owners of several companies sat together and exchanged information about the progress of copyright trading with Hollywood at present. After a careful understanding of the market, Huanya realized that their offer for Infernal Affairs was indeed too high.
As far as all the companies that have reached cooperation with Hollywood at present are concerned, no one has successfully obtained the ”guaranteed minimum share” agreement from Hollywood distributors. All the offers offered by these distributors are all the same copyright buyouts, but the buyout price has increased several times than before.
However, several other film companies are also very satisfied with this. After all, these copyrights were ignored before, and they can't sell for 10000 dollars. Now they suddenly sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. For these companies, it's like a windfall.
But Huanya's boss can't have their small fortune and easy-going attitude, because he thinks that the movie ”Mr. zombie” makes him lose too much and too much. He had the chance to earn tens of millions of dollars by this movie, but in the end, he got less than 100000 dollars.
It was because of such a huge psychological gap that he hoped that Infernal Affairs would sell at a better price, but unexpectedly, the publishers in Hollywood had a ”fever abatement” in an instant, several enterprises withdrew from the competition, and the rest of them also reduced their prices, which made the boss of Huanya even more depressed.
In order to sell Infernal Affairs for a better price, Huanya's boss actively contacted Makino image. Although he hated Makino image's itchy teeth, he had to borrow from Makino image to improve the value of Infernal Affairs in the North American market at this time.
Huanya said to Muye image that they hope to cooperate with Muye image to develop the North American copyright of Infernal Affairs. The decision-making power of the specific operation lies in Huanya. Muye image does not need to invest. It only needs to promise enough recommendation resources to Infernal Affairs in the North American market, so it can get 30% of the total income of Huanya relying on Infernal Affairs in North America.
The person in charge of Muye image reported the incident to Li Ziwei on a regular basis. Li Ziwei conveyed the news to Li Mu on the way of Li Mu's field trip to the junction of Yanjing, Tianjin and Langfang.
After hearing this, Li Mu said to Li Ziwei, ”if they want to cooperate with us in the overseas market of Infernal Affairs, they will show some sincerity, adjust the cooperation conditions, and give us the right to decide. The copyright is authorized to us exclusively first, and the sublicense will also be given to us, and then we will take it to the North American market for operation. We rely on Infernal Affairs.” Give them 30% of all the income earned overseas. ”
After that, Li Mu added, ”by the way, you tell them that we will not promise any recommended resources.”
