Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 273 Everyone Wants to Buy

Originally, Alan Ryder thought that Lin Daoqiu would reject Landry's proposal, but he didn't expect the other party to have such an idea.

Fortunately, the final box office of "Mission Impossible" has not yet come out. This is a very good time for Alan Ryder who wants to buy this movie.

"I'm willing to pay 3000 million yuan to buy the copyright of your play."

At this time, the box office of "Mission Impossible" has reached 500 million.

The price offered by Alan Ryder was calculated based on the money that Lin Daoqiu and the others could receive, and then subtracted the production fee of the play.

It seems that the price given by Alan Ryder is reasonable, but if Lin Daoqiu agrees, then he is an idiot.

"Is Chairman Alan kidding me? 3000 million?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't even say the words of rejection, he just looked at the other party and smiled.

Although I don't know who Fox will invite to play this movie after it buys it, but if they don't make four or five movies, they probably won't give up.

According to this calculation, the North American box office of this drama alone can bring Fox a net income of at least [-] million yuan.

And that's not counting the worldwide releases and the videotapes and merch money.

"If you want to buy it, you can, two hundred million dollars."

Alan Ryder couldn't help laughing outright when he heard it, and even Landry next to him smiled wryly and shook his head after hearing it.

They all thought that Lin Daoqiu was too crazy, how could he think that Fox would spend [-] million to buy the copyright of his movie.

"I can only offer you up to 5000 million US dollars at most. Mr. Lin may think about my proposal carefully. It can be said that this amount of money is already quite a lot."

Alan Ryder was too lazy to continue the conversation with Lin Daoqiu. He felt that if he continued to speak, he was worried that he would burst into foul language if he couldn't help it.

But it was obvious that Lin Daoqiu would not accept this price, so he shook his head without thinking about it.

"Lewan, help me take Mr. Lin out."

Alan Ryder asked Lewand to send people away, and now he feels angry when he sees Lin Daoqiu.

He didn't know how to describe this young man, he didn't know whether to say he was innocent or fearless.

I'm afraid that any other Hollywood director or independent producer would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of him, let alone the possibility of even half split.

He saw that the type of movie "Mission Impossible" was scarce at Fox, so he was willing to talk to Lin Daoqiu.

Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu might not even be able to enter Alan Ryder's office.

After Lewand sent Lin Daoqiu away, little Alan Ryder finally couldn't help but swear.

"fuc*, who does he think he is, and wants to split with me."

It seemed that Alan Ryder seemed very angry. After all, he was basically unlikely to meet a guy like Lin Daoqiu who dared to speak loudly in front of him.

Landry is not surprised by this, he just feels very sorry.

Because if you buy the copyright of "Mission Impossible", it can fill Fox's disadvantage in action movies.

It's a pity that Lin Daoqiu's attitude was too resolute, and he was so resolute that both Alan Ryder and Landry began to hate this person.

"Chairman, I think it's quite normal that he didn't agree. After all, he is only 19 years old. You must know that young people at this age are the most rebellious."

"A 19-year-old young man can make so many blockbuster movies. I don't think he is an ordinary young man."

Alan Ryder didn't seem to agree with Landry's words.

But speaking of it, Alan Ryder is quite interested in the suggestion that Landry just made.

If the copyright of "Mission Impossible" can be bought, this is definitely a very good deal for Fox.

"Do you think if I offer [-] million, he will agree to sell the copyright to us?"

Hearing Alan Ryder's question, Landry nodded after thinking carefully.

He doesn't believe that the person who can make so many movies is an idiot. Selling the copyright of "Mission Impossible" for [-] million is definitely a big profit for Lin Daoqiu.

Although it seems that this movie is very profitable, who can guarantee that every subsequent movie will be a big hit?

So selling the copyright at a high price is the most reasonable choice for Lin Daoqiu.

"In a few days, go talk to him and buy the copyright of "Mission Impossible" for [-] million."

Alan Ryder intends to use this money to fill Fox's weakness in action movies, so spending [-] million is definitely not a loss for him.

…………

"That fellow Alan Ryder found Lin Daoqiu?"

Originally, this news should be very confidential, but it is unknown who disclosed this news to Ashley.

Lin Daoqiu can now be said to be Warner's cash cow. If he is poached by Alan Ryder, it will be a major loss for Warner.

"No, no, no, even Alan Ryder would never be willing to give half of the box office revenue to Lin Daoqiu."

Quickly comforted his nervousness, this news was a bit too shocking for Ashley.

"Chairman, I think we should take the initiative and increase the share, otherwise I worry that Lin Daoqiu will really be poached by Alan Ryder."

Richardson can be said to be very respectful of Lin Daoqiu, and now the facts have proved that his judgment is correct.

But it is basically impossible for Ashley to increase the box office share, because apart from him, this matter has to be approved by the board of directors.

With the personality of those guys who regard money as their life, let them share half of the box office revenue with a Hong Kong filmmaker. It can be said that this matter does not even need to be discussed.

Even this time, they gave the other party [-]% of the box office because Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu invested in the filming of this movie.

And this was also achieved because Run Run Shaw and Warner had a good relationship of cooperation for many years.

"It's not that you don't know the people on the board of directors. Even if I agree, they will firmly oppose it to the end, so there is no need to even mention this matter."

Hearing this, Richardson was speechless, because he already knew what kind of birds those directors were.

Even the few directors who support him now, as long as their interests are touched, these people will definitely come out to oppose like crazy.

"I'm worried that if things go on like this, the Mission: Impossible sequel will be distributed by Fox."

Richardson's words sound a bit pessimistic, but judging from the current trend, his words have a great chance to happen.

Of course Ashley knew this, but he had nothing to do right now.

But at this moment, Richardson's eyes suddenly lit up, and it seemed that he had thought of a solution.

"Chairman, since the show is so popular, why don't we just buy the copyright?"

While Ashley was still struggling, Richardson's proposal made him widen his eyes.
