340 Chapter 339 Issuing Copyright (for subscription recommendation) (2/2)

Lehman said calmly: ”We can agree to pay half of the announcement, but only make 5% of the producer's profit, and Lionsgate does not have any film rights, only the right to commission the distribution.”

Turning his head, Jon discussed with the person in the distribution department next to him, muttering.

”No, ”Hellboy” has a small audience, and its distribution potential is not as high as that of ordinary commercial films. Moreover, 10% is already a very kind distribution condition. We cooperate with other people and get up to 30%. .5% is too unreasonable.”

”Then you can cooperate with others.”

”How about 8%? We at Lionsgate don't want the copyright of the film, so we can participate in the offline and home entertainment market.”

”Joseph, talk to them.”

Lyman turned his head and left.

It's better to leave it to professionals.He doesn't have so much patience.

Joseph nodded and continued the discussion with Lionsgate.

Lehman went to another office.

Close the door and continue the preliminary preparations for ”Daydreamer”.

About an hour later, Joseph ran over.

”They killed 7% of their distribution revenue, and in offline markets such as DVDs and video tapes, they had 20% of the market share in the first three years. Of course, the copyright is still ours, whether it is a sequel or sold. It has nothing to do with Lionsgate.”

Although ”Hellboy” has little market potential, the copyright still needs to be held in hand.

For a normal film and television company, enough copyright is a small vault that continuously generates revenue.

Take Disney as an example.

”The Lion King”, ”Snow White”, ”Donald Duck” and other classic animation works, they have eaten the dividends for decades, and as long as there are TV stations or the more developed Internet in the future, they can get them. To part of the copyright fee.

Then, there is a third-party market, authorized to make profits.

Clothing, dolls, pillows and other peripherals are also great wealth.

Although ”Hellboy” is definitely not comparable to these classic productions, no matter how small a mosquito is, there is meat. Why should I let my own project go?

While the two were discussing here, Jon Fellermei was also discussing with the subordinates of the distribution department in the office where they had just negotiated.

”This film is the small cost that we are best at. If it is operated properly, there will be no problem with profit.”

”Yes, but Firefly Pictures wants too much.”

Jon Fellermae shrugged and said: ”No way, they don't lack collaborators. On the contrary, we really want the distribution rights of the film. There is no fear, Lionsgate can only be slaughtered. If we can grow bigger in the future, then The rules of distribution are not yet set by us. Look at Warner and Paramount, they rarely fall into a passive position.”

While the two were talking, Lyman and Joseph also knocked on the door and came in.

”We agree that 7 percent is a very suitable condition.”

Jon breathed a sigh of relief, this was almost the bottom line of Lionsgate.

”Then I wish us a happy cooperation.”

”Happy cooperation.” Then Lehmann asked again, ”When do you want to schedule ”Hellboy” to be released?”

”In July, there happened to be no strong opponents.”

Well, the summer is over, of course there are no strong opponents.

However, ”Hellboy” is not a big production, but it is suitable for such a deserted schedule.

Several people chatted for a while, and under the review of the company's legal department, the two parties formally signed the issuance contract.
