Eric opened the door and walked into the living room. Drew immediately jumped up from the sofa when he heard the sound, and jumped into Eric's arms with an excited expression on his face. Immediately unhappy. While Eric dodged speechlessly, Disgust breathed a sigh of relief on Eric's left cheek, stretched out his sleeve and wiped it, and then kissed it.
Eric was amused by the girl's behavior, stepped forward two steps and dragged the little girl who was coiled around his waist and threw it on the sofa, then sat down and asked: "Okay, call me in a hurry What's the matter when you come back?" Eric said, he had noticed the eye-catching black folder on the coffee table in front of him, picked it up and opened it, and a copyright transfer contract appeared in front of Eric.
"Heh, you're pretty quick about the copyright of "Jin Yumeng". I thought it would be great if you could win it after the summer vacation."
Drew smiled and lay on Eric's body, with his chin hanging on one of Eric's shoulders: "This is Hollywood. As long as you have money, many things are much easier to handle."
"How much did it cost?" Ai ￥10, Rick asked casually as he took the contract off the metal clip of the folder.
"3.5 million," the girl said the price not confidently, but quickly explained: "It's just the full copyright, forever, and even the copyright of some original music in it belongs to us."
Eric nodded. If it is as Drew said, then the price is acceptable, even if it is used to enrich the Firefly film library, and after "Sleepless in Seattle" becomes popular, maybe you can invest in a remake of it. What about movies? Although Eric originally only asked Drew to obtain the copyright of the movie within five years, he can also imagine that the company that owns the copyright finally met a fat sheep who was interested in this old movie thirty years ago. It must be a big slaughter, five years? If you don't sell it, just take it all if you want to buy it, but the price is more expensive.
Seeing Eric nodded, Drew breathed a sigh of relief, and began to explain in chirping: "This movie was originally produced by an investor named Jerry Wald who founded his own company, but that guy's life is not good. He opened a movie company and produced a few good movies, but died of a heart attack a few years later, and his widow sold the rights to several movies from his movie company to another movie company. A film company went bankrupt, went through several rounds, and fell into the hands of Fox."
"Wow," Eric saw the name of Twentieth Century Fox in the document and heard the girl's explanation, almost jumped up.
Drew was talking vigorously, but was taken aback by Eric's sudden utterance, and asked with wide-eyed eyes: "What... what's wrong, is there something wrong?"
"You mean... this movie was bought from 20th Century Fox?" Eric asked again with a little luck in his heart.
The girl's eyelashes flickered innocently twice, and she nodded her chin: "Yes?"
Eric smiled wryly: "This is too bad, I will definitely be hated by Fox in the future."
That night he was so entangled by the little girl that Eric found a "part-time summer job" for the girl on the spur of the moment, completely ignoring the issue of the copyright ownership of "Jin Yumeng". Ramon and Eric have no cooperation with each other. If you cheat, you will cheat. Movies are also a business. If you make money, you have to celebrate, and if you are cheated, you have to appoint.
However, after all the calculations, they still did not expect that the copyright of "Jin Yumeng" was in the hands of 20th Century Fox. He is still in the honeymoon period with Fox, and he doesn't want to freeze the relationship between the two parties. Therefore, when Columbia wanted "Dark War", Eric explained to Barry Diller in person and made a TV series. Compensation, but reality is always easy to joke with people. God, the old man really doesn't want him to maintain a good relationship with Fox.
If after "Sleepless in Seattle" is released, the videotape of "Jin Yumeng" sells 2 million copies as the friend said in the previous life, that is 60 million US dollars in sales, which is equivalent to a blockbuster movie up. Although film companies always claim that the profit margin of video tapes is less than 20%, and the remaining 80% or more are costs, but as long as you understand a little bit, you will know that this is nonsense. The profit margin of video tapes is easily It can exceed 50%, which is higher than the box office profit ratio. Then, with the videotape of "Jin Yumeng", Eric can earn at least 30 million US dollars from this business.
Eric can almost imagine the appearance of some people being furious because of this opportunity.
Drew saw Eric's constantly changing face, and asked curiously: "How is it possible, we paid 3.5 million US dollars, Fox made money, how could it be possible to hate us?"
"That's right, but even though we spent more than three million yuan, if we made $30 million with this movie in less than a year, what do you think Fox will think?"
The girl covered her mouth in surprise. Eric asked her to win the copyright of the movie, saying that she could make a fortune. Drew thought it would be good if it was only one or two million, so he just said the price of 3.5 million US dollars At that time, the girl was still a little apprehensive, if she could really earn 30 million...
"But... it seems... Eric, the Fox people didn't know that we bought it. I was afraid that I would be associated with you, so I specially found an agent. After he got the copyright, he transferred it to me. From the beginning to the end, Fox didn't know that we were going to buy the copyright of this movie..." Drew said, her voice became lower and lower, and she quickly thought that if this movie would rely on the influence of "Sleepless in Seattle" Lida has made a fortune. As long as the people in Fox have no problem with their IQ, they will definitely think of Eric.
Thinking of this, the girl stuck out her tongue: "Then, Eric, what shall we do now?"
Eric rubbed his temples and thought about it. "Sleepless in Seattle" will be released at the end of the year, so it will definitely be next year when the video tape of "Jin Yumeng" creates a sales miracle. After the performance is completed, there is no need to worry that Fox will interfere with the distribution of the film. At most, when the profits are shared in the future, Fox will play tricks and delay things. However, Eric is not worried, because the terms of the contract signed last year are all In detail, once Fox breaches the contract, there is no possibility of winning the lawsuit in court. Eric is not like those filmmakers in his previous life. The film sold well, only to find out that the sharing contract signed with the film company was not detailed enough, causing several years of disputes.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that. You can't spit out the meat in your mouth. Anyway, Fox voluntarily sold it, and we paid such a high price."
"Hey," Xiao Nizi also hugged Eric with a triumphant expression and rubbed her arms coquettishly: "However, Eric, there is one more small thing..."
