Coquettish Rebirth

"Mr. Jia, as a result of the negotiation, the other party is not very willing to sell, it seems that they want to take pictures by themselves... I wonder if they heard the news that we contacted the celebrity before, so they just put on airs like this..." Speer Berg said to Jia Hongjian.

This happened a few hours earlier, when Spielberg was on the phone with the manager of Universal's rights department!However, since Spielberg knew what Jia Hongjian's upper limit and bottom line were, it was not "troublesome" to communicate with him.At this time, Spielberg would tell Jia Hongjian about his experience-"I told them at the time, don't give me this set! Buying their copyright is to give them face, don't think we can't change it beyond recognition , It can even be said that we have changed beyond recognition, even if we shoot directly, we are not afraid of lawsuits! After finishing talking at that time, the manager of Universal said that he would report to the higher authorities, haha..."

"What's next?" Jia Hongjian listened to Spielberg's voice, and it was obvious that Old Si was relaxed, and it was estimated that the matter was finished, so Jia Hongjian did not urge Old Si to tell the result. "After waiting for more than half an hour, their manager called me and said that the price would be 300 million yuan, and the distribution rights and copyrights should be given to them, otherwise they would have to rely on the copyrights to make the same one. I said at the time that you have the ability. Let’s shoot, we will definitely come out before yours, and see which audience is more popular with the same plot. Although your film has white people as the protagonists, don’t forget that we have many guest stars here! Who will have the most appeal at that time? Strong? I knew they were just bluffing, so after saying this, they didn't hang up the phone, but started bargaining with me. In the end, the price of 200 million yuan was settled, but they insisted on copyright, and finally shared copyright. If we want to make a sequel, we have to ask them to distribute it, and if they want to make a sequel, they have to ask us for DreamWorks production, and we have to nod. If it is released, the agency fee is based on the industry's internal standards..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian nodded. The price of 200 million US dollars is not small.Talk about big or small.Now that I think about it, it seems like I was ripped off by Universal, but in fact, if I really want to buy the copyright of the original author, why don't I have to spend millions of dollars?After all, you have to know that what Universal bought is not a regular film and television adaptation right.It's an exclusive exclusive agreement!This is not to say that the old man Jin Yong sold the adaptation rights of various martial arts novels under his name casually.Old man Jin sells like that.Because the sale is not exclusive, that is to say, you can sell it as many times as you want, and then what.There can also be a time limit, for example, within 3 years the right to adapt is given to this company, if after 3 years your company does not make a film, then you will blame yourself, and the right to adapt will be gone later!And how could a big company like Universal do this?People may say that they only buy a [-]-year adaptation right. If they don't change it in the future, it will fall into the hands of others?Will people allow a "Bourne Shadow" and n companies to produce the same story like Jin Yong's martial arts drama?This is simply impossible!

So when Universal bought the adaptation rights back then, it cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars—after all, this is exclusive, and it is impossible to film the same storyline for others!Universal finally bought it, and saved the copyright for more than ten years. Spielberg said that it seems that Universal authorized it to a certain TV company in 88, and made this "Bourne Shadow" into a TV series. What's the matter, at that time, I wanted someone to find the way and make wedding dresses for them, but it turned out that the ratings were not good, so the Universal Company temporarily sealed the adaptation rights, even if they didn't use it themselves, they wouldn't let others use it.Anyway, they bought it with money, and now there is finally a buyer, and it seems that the buyer is quite optimistic, so Universal has to make a fortune, even if it makes a little bit!

Therefore, Jia Hongjian also recognized the 200 million fee for sharing the adaptation rights. He actually knew that if Spielberg were to negotiate, the result might be the best. In the end it was 300 million or even 500 million!why?Because the Universal Film Company had fallen to the second-tier lineup of Hollywood before the 70s!How did they return to the front line?One is based on George Lucas' "Star Wars", and the other is based on Spielberg's "Jaws", "et" and "Jurassic Park"!The relationship between Spielberg and Universal is quite good. Although Spielberg has established his own film company now, Universal will still take it for face and lower the price a little!

After discussing the adaptation right here, Jia Hongjian thought about it and decided to tell Cheng Long and Cheng Jiaban about it.Although the 200 million things don't seem like a lot, it's also a management method!It’s like he’s chatting with people in the company. It’s not easy to exaggerate the cost, and the company’s operations are not easy. He shows that he respects the other party and tells the other party the current situation, and the other party will help save money. Well!Although it is said that making a movie requires an investment of 2000 million yuan, most of the money in a movie is the star's salary and various publicity!Like a Hollywood star, the best male star is basically $4000 million a scene?These two came out for 1000 million, and the post-production was at least 2000 million?That's halfway out!Then the film in the middle, labor, and various shooting expenses, even if this is 3000 million US dollars, there is only [-] million US dollars left for publicity!

Although Huaxia High-tech or Jia Hongjian invested in this movie, because Stallone and others are guest stars, only Cheng Long is a big name, and at the same time Cheng Long is unlikely to be worth 2000 million US dollars, giving 2000 million yuan is already very good Yes, but, can you save a little or save a little!Little makes more!So here, turning around, Jia Hongjian told Cheng Long and Cheng Jiaban about it.After Cheng Long finished listening, he didn't feel much better. Everyone in Cheng's class stared wide-eyed!why?This adaptation right is only 200 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 1400 million Hong Kong dollars? More than 1400 million Hong Kong dollars!They don't know if they can earn so much in their lifetime!And like Cheng Long, if he was filming in Hong Kong.Calculated based on the box office of a film of 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, even if the producer gets half of it, the film company will get 2000 million Hong Kong dollars in the end. Will all these Hong Kong dollars fall into Chenglong's pocket?Certainly not!Finally, after digging out the initial investment and all kinds of expenses, how much can Cheng Long get in the end?Of course, because Cheng Long owns the Weihe company, which is lower than Jiahe, he can be regarded as starting his own business, so he can get a lot of money as a boss.But no matter how you take it, it’s not too much! If it is in the early 1000 million, it will be exhausted.At most, the box office in the mainland and Southeast Asia may be higher!

So, just such a script is equivalent to spending all the money that the eldest brother can earn in the Hong Kong market?At that time, everyone in the Cheng family class suddenly began to feel that Xiaoqianqian was nervous!At the very beginning, they thought of an investment of 7 million US dollars.It is equivalent to an investment of more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars.That is a joy.Then I think there is no way to have too much money!But now that I really think about it, this money is a waste of money!

Then, Jia Hongjian began to count with his fingers again—"Let's come to England. When we came, the gas fee was 50 RMB, and I didn't count this money in the account. I paid for it myself. We The hotel we stayed in is a five-star hotel. What about the cost of a day? Brother Cheng Long and I have a top-level suite, which costs more than 20000 RMB a day. What you live in is a small studio suite. There are two rooms in total, one for one night. It’s more than 6000 RMB, which adds up to just living here. We’ve stayed here for 5 days, and it’s almost 30 RMB to go out... More than 5 RMB a day, you do the math yourself, and then let Hollywood stars come over, It needs money, and it’s money to transport the artists, clothing, makeup, etc. Then, it’s money to prepare those clothes and other things, and there are shipping costs, and finally there are machines, film, and daily lunch boxes. Money. It is estimated that in the future we can save 20 a day, and 50 or even [-] a day is not impossible..."

Jia Hongjian's calculation of the money was only a little exaggerated!After all, people like Tom Hanks and Schwarzenegger have all come over, can't it be said that they have to pay for their air tickets?The first-class round-trip air ticket, and then the cost of renting a car, and then can’t you give someone a room when they live here?Come to a top suite, this day is more than 20000.If people bring their wives and children, although in theory celebrities come to work, it is best not to bring a large number of family members, but this drama is a friendship cameo, and even the salary is not confiscated. They bring their wives and children to play, or Bringing seven aunts and eight aunts here, no. 30 people, Jia Hongjian and the others have to arrange accommodation for everyone?All this costs money?So all in all, that little money is really expensive!This is not counting the salary of other big stars!Looking back, if you really have to count the film salary, for example, if you need an average of 100 million US dollars for a day of filming, it really feels like the small money is being burned!

When Jia Hongjian finished calculating all the money, he didn't need to say anything, Jia Hongjian could tell from the faces of the members of the Cheng family class that they all took the initiative to save money!You must know that their Cheng family troupe used to have a dead salary in addition to the dividends for each film. Now that the Cheng family troupe has been disbanded and rebuilt, they basically live on "dividends".That is to say, the global box office is good, and you can get more from Cheng Long!Or to put it another way, the higher the final profit, the more they can get!Now I have wasted a lot, accumulating a lot, and in the end, there must be less money that can fall into their pockets to support their families!
