Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 274 Rejection Again
"Will Lin Daoqiu be willing to sell?"

Although Ashley was very moved by Richardson's proposal, he thought about it and felt that Lin Daoqiu would not be so stupid to sell such a lucrative film copyright to Warner.

You must know that the box office of this movie has already surpassed [-] million US dollars, and I believe it will definitely exceed [-] million US dollars when it is finally released.

If you add in box office and video sales in Europe and other regions, it is impossible to imagine how much money the first film will make in the end.

"Does the president know how much money Lin Daoqiu will get for this movie?"

Ashley didn't know about this matter, because he didn't care about it at all before this.

If it wasn't for Run Run Shaw's relationship, I'm afraid he wouldn't even meet Lin Daoqiu.

Looking at Ashley's reaction, Richardson could see that the other party must not know.

"As far as I know, Lin Daoqiu is not only the producer and screenwriter of this "Mission Impossible", but also responsible for the whole process of filming, and also paid half of the production and promotion costs, but he and Run Run Shaw actually split the profits equally."

Richardson heard these things from Kars, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity.

When Richardson finished speaking, Ashley immediately showed a surprised expression on his face.

This means that Run Run Shaw only paid half of the production cost and got half of the profit of the whole movie, isn't the other party making too much money?

"After spending so much effort and spending money and hard work, and only received such a small amount of money in the end, do you think Lin Daoqiu will continue to cooperate with Run Run Shaw in the second film?"

"If it was me, the sequel would definitely kick Run Run Shaw out and do it myself, otherwise it would be too bad."

Ashley gave his own answer without even thinking about it. After all, it sounded like Run Run Shaw hadn't done much at all, and Lin Daoqiu had no reason to continue to cooperate with him.

"So we bought the copyright of this movie with money, which is equivalent to doing Lin Daoqiu a favor. You must know that Mr. Shao is very powerful in Xiangjiang."

Ashley seemed to understand what Richardson said.

"You mean Lin Daoqiu has to cooperate with Run Run Shaw, otherwise he won't be able to stay in Xiangjiang?"

It happens a lot in Hollywood, and even Ashley has done a lot of it himself, so he's used to it.

"Yes, Mr. Shao not only has a Hollywood-like studio in Xiangjiang, but also a TV station with a high ratings. No one dares to disobey him there."

Richardson obviously exaggerated Shaw's strength, but most of it was true.

The more Ashley heard, the happier she became. If she could buy the copyright of this film for US$5000 million, it would bring huge profits to Warner.

And at that time, they can also add a male star to take over the role of Lin Qingxia, and then train him to become an action superstar for Warner, and open up the field of action movies for Warner.

"Go to Lin Daoqiu immediately and have a good talk with him."

Ashley immediately assigned Richardson to talk to Lin Daoqiu about buying the copyright of "Mission Impossible".

At the same time, Landry also found Lin Daoqiu with the idea of ​​​​Little Alan Ryder.

"Why is Mr. Landry free to visit me today?"

After pouring a cup of coffee for Landry and himself, Lin Daoqiu stared at each other after returning to the sofa and sitting down.

"Mr. Lin should know why I came here today."

Landry took a sip of the coffee Lin Daoqiu poured, but it didn't look like the coffee was to his liking, so he took a sip and put the cup down.

"It seems that Mr. Landry is planning to come to me to buy the copyright. If that's the case, then you should know how much I'm asking for."

Although Lin Daoqiu said this, he knew very well that the other party would never pay [-] million yuan to buy the copyright of his movie.

If little Alan Ryder really did this, then Lin Daoqiu really admired him a little bit, so stupid.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Lin offered us a price of [-] million yuan, right?"

Of course, Landry will not forget the price that Lin Daoqiu offered at the beginning.

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded. In fact, he didn't have time to think about it, so he just offered a price of [-] million.

"If Mr. Lin thinks that someone in Hollywood is willing to pay [-] million yuan to buy the copyright of your movie, then I really want to see who is so stupid."

Landry's words are very direct, because it is simply a fact that no company is willing to spend such a large sum of money to buy a movie.

To buy the copyright of the next movie at a price of [-] million, if Landry had to choose, then only the "Star Wars" series of movies are worth so much money.

For an action movie, the price of 5000 million US dollars is already a very reasonable price.

It's a pity that the box office of this movie has been rising steadily, and it has exceeded 8000 million US dollars so far.

For Landry, who wanted to buy the copyright, it was tantamount to increasing the difficulty in disguise.

But the paradox is that Landry is now hoping that the box office will get higher and higher, otherwise how could they be willing to pay a high price for the copyright of this movie.

"In that case, how much is your company willing to pay for my copyright?"

In the past two days, Lin Daoqiu had seriously thought about it. It was much more appropriate to sell the copyright of this movie than to negotiate with the other party.

Although the money earned is definitely less than the share, time is the most precious, so he has already tended to sell this drama to the other party.

Now Lin Daoqiu is just waiting for someone who is willing to pay a high price to appear.

If there is no way to talk to Landry today, Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind letting the wind out.

He didn't believe that the film companies of Paramount would not be interested in the copyright of this movie.

"7000."

The last time before Lin Daoqiu left, Alan Ryder Jr. had already driven to 5000 million.

In order to show his sincerity in this negotiation, Landry added another 2000 million on the original basis.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Landry's bottom line was, he believed that the final transaction amount would definitely exceed [-] million.

[-] million U.S. dollars is now roughly equal to [-] million Hong Kong dollars. If I have this money, I don't need to look at other people's faces, and I can go back to Xiangjiang to get my own theater.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help showing a happy smile.

However, Lin Daoqiu's smile fell into Landry's eyes, making him feel that the other party was making fun of his dissatisfaction with the price he offered.

"Mr. Lin, I think 7000 million is already a very reasonable price. I came to talk to you with sincerity today."

Landry looked at Lin Daoqiu with a serious face. Although Alan Ryder Jr. gave him a bottom line of 7000 million, it would be best if he could make a deal with [-] million.

"Sorry, I refuse."
