Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 209 5000 million online and offline full copyright!

Hotel entrance.

Under the leadership of Yu Dong, Fang Ziheng and others met Deng Wendi, the overseas publisher of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Along with him was Jiang Zhiqiang, the president of Anle Films.

"Ms. Deng Wendi, hello."

Fang Ziheng took two steps forward, gently hugged Deng Wendi's shoulders, then turned around and extended his hand to Jiang Zhiqiang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, we meet again. Thank you and Ms. Deng for your support and help on "Edge of Tomorrow."

"Director Fang is too modest. I also want to congratulate you. "Edge of Tomorrow" is a good movie, and it is worth recommending to audiences all over the world."

Jiang Zhiqiang was in high spirits, and while admiring, he put both hands together and shook Fang Ziheng firmly.

Yu Dong and Deng Wendi exchanged a few words, and laughed aloud: "Director Fang, let's talk inside."

"Alright, I just got off the plane and I'm still a little hungry."

Fang Ziheng nodded lightly, and the guest did as he pleased.

Guided by the waiter, a group of people came to the banquet hall on the second floor.

The door opened, and there were dozens of people gathered in the banquet hall, a few Chinese counterparts who worked hard in the Hollywood film industry, and the rest were all white and black.

"clap clap"

"clap clap"

When Fang Ziheng led Andy, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao, and Hu Jun into the gate, there was warm applause in the banquet hall.

The main creator of "Edge of Tomorrow" was welcomed by outsiders abroad for the first time.

Although, this banquet was very small, it was specially organized by Deng Wendi.

Fang Ziheng bowed his hand to return the gift, and under Jiang Zhiqiang's introduction, he met some important people one by one.

As the promoters of Li An and Lao Mouzi's overseas films, Jiang Zhiqiang has a very good network of contacts in Hollywood, and almost the eight major film giants have many acquaintances.

The Chinese present were also full of curiosity about Fang Ziheng, with a somewhat friendly attitude.

Hollywood is very realistic and only cares about interests.

Having been in Hollywood for many years, this group of Chinese has naturally learned the essence of the place.

In their view, Fang Ziheng's ability to produce world-famous movies is not inferior to Lao Mouzi, who went abroad, and Li An, who is trying to make a comeback.

Fang Ziheng had a calm attitude, and with a faint smile, he greeted without humility.

Time passed, and the banquet was halfway through.

Fang Ziheng, Andy, Deng Wendi, and Jiang Zhiqiang left the crowd and came to a small conference room.

Yu Dong led Liu Ye and others to bridge the mainland, chatting with the people in the banquet hall about Chinese-language movies and overseas exports.

"Director Fang, Twentieth Century Fox Film Company wants to purchase the TV-on-demand, digital broadcast, home theater DVD, peripheral toys and other full copyright contracts of "Edge of Tomorrow" in North America."

Jiang Zhiqiang took a stack of documents from his assistant, handed them to Andy, and looked at Fang Ziheng.

"As long as the price is right, I am very willing to cooperate with Fox again."

Fang Ziheng smiled lightly, took out a cigarette and handed it to Deng Wendi who smiled and said nothing, indicating that she would make an offer first.

If the other party makes such an offer today, it is very likely that they want to lower the price.

The full copyright thing is really making money in the United States, the kind that makes a lot of money.

"Four Famous Catchers" does not include overseas box office revenue, and 3000th Century Fox earned no less than [-] million US dollars from the sale of peripheral copyrights in North America alone.

3000 million!

You know, Deng Wendi bought the full overseas copyright for 2000 million at that time.

Counting the box office revenue of "The Four", Twentieth Century Fox earned at least a net profit of 7000 million US dollars.

However, "Edge of Tomorrow" signed a share, and 15th Century Fox Film Company, as the overseas distributor, accounted for [-]% of the distribution ratio.

Without the box office share, Deng Wendi naturally wanted to win the North American peripheral copyright of "Edge of Tomorrow".

This time period is when the North American film market is at its peak.

The ratio of movie box office to TV broadcasting, home theater DVD, digital broadcasting, and toys peripherals is roughly 1:0.4 to 0.45.

Of course, the proportion of very popular movies such as "Avatar" and "Transformers" is relatively higher, and the income from copyright sales once reached two or three times the box office.

"Edge of Tomorrow" was released for 17 days, and the total box office in North America exceeded 1.2 million US dollars.

In the third week, it fell by 30%, without a big dive, and it is expected to have a box office of 2500 million US dollars.

However, as an outsider, it is impossible for "Edge of Tomorrow" to be released for six weeks like a local film.

At most, it takes about 30 days to draw a picture!
As a result, "Edge of Tomorrow"'s total North American box office may fall in the range of $1.55 million to $1.6 million.

According to the sharing ratio signed between 50th Century Fox and the theater, "Edge of Tomorrow" can get [-]% of the total box office revenue.

Taking the minimum of 1.5 million as the calculation, there must be 6500 million US dollars around the copyright.

6500 million refers to the total proceeds of the copyright that can be sold. Fang Ziheng has no channels in the United States and can only rely on [-]th Century Fox.

Based on the 20% channel fee, the net income that can be obtained is 5200 million US dollars.

Fang Ziheng doesn't like eating alone. His psychological price is US$3500 million to US$4000 million, and the profit is US$1200 million to US$1700 million.

At this price, neither party will suffer!

Hengyu Media sold the copyright to cash in time, and 2500th Century Fox could earn at least [-] million US dollars by changing hands by collecting channel fees and Fang Ziheng's profit.

This is still calculated based on the minimum profit ratio, and the actual profit will only be higher.

If the publicity is in place and the operation is good, it can easily exceed the copyright profit of "Four Famous Catch", even reaching 5000 million US dollars.

Of course, it is impossible to recover the income at once. TV on demand, DVD, and toy guns are all long-term and continuous transactions.

"Director Fang, "Edge of Tomorrow" is a rare and good movie, and I'm not in vain. It costs 2000 million US dollars, and the American online and offline full copyright!"

Deng Wendi said lightly, and raised two fingers with a confident expression on his face.

Done.

Without waiting for Fang Ziheng to refuse, she pointed at the document in Andy's hand, raised a smile and said again: "If Director Fang is willing to sell the full overseas copyright of the film, the price will be even higher, and I promise not to disappoint Director Fang! "

The full overseas copyright she refers to refers to the overseas global copyright fee after the film is released, not just North America.

Twentieth Century Fox, as Hollywood's leading movie giant, and backed by the Buddha of News Corporation, is fully capable of laying channels to countries around North America, and reselling movies to Europe, Africa, and Australia.

In the early years, the reason why overseas copyrights of Chinese-language films could be sold, apart from foreigners eating costume films and kung fu films, the most important reason is that Hollywood film giants really have the ability to sell various copyrights of films to countries all over the world.

Overseas full copyright!
Fang Ziheng smiled, he couldn't deny Deng Wendi's words.

The ambition and courage of this 'legendary woman' are indeed extraordinary. Dealing with such a person is really easy!
To be honest, he really hoped that the other party could become the helm of [-]th Century Fox, and even the core executive of News Corporation.

If this is the case, at least there will be an additional overseas export route for Chinese-language films in the future.

Um..
I have to have a good talk with Director Han about this matter when I go back!
Thinking of this, Fang Ziheng raised a hand, stretched his five fingers and shook his fist: "One price, 5000 million US dollars, all overseas copyright fees!"

His voice was not high, but his tone was very firm. His eyes focused on Deng Wendi who was across the conference table, confident and charming.

quiet..
very quiet.

No one was talking in the conference room, and Andy lowered his gaze, carefully reading the legal documents on the document.

Regarding Fang Ziheng, she was completely at ease.

As long as it's about movies, she won't interrupt.

Opposite the conference table, Deng Wendi silently lit the cigarette that Fang Ziheng handed over just now, lost in thought and calculation.

Fifty million U.S. dollars is not a small amount, and she needs to reassess the profit ratio.

Jiang Zhiqiang twisted his neck and looked at Fang Ziheng with surprised eyes.

The young man really dared to ask for a price. Seeing how he is even worse than Wang Zhongjun back then!

Fang Ziheng flicked the cigarette ash and smiled at Jiang Zhiqiang.

He has nothing to dare to open, the price is not high at all.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is not "Four Famous Catchers", and it doesn't sell many toys. The alien fighter planes, battleships, and exoskeleton mechs in the movie will definitely become instant bestsellers overseas.

a long time.

A smile appeared on Deng Wendi's calm face. Instead of responding to Fang Ziheng's opening the house, she asked another question instead.

"Director Fang, may I ask what subject you plan to shoot for your sixth film?"

High!

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately understood and cast admiring glances at Deng Wendi.

Andy was also taken aback, and raised his head to look at Deng Wendi again.

This woman is really not simple!
Using Fang Ziheng's sixth film to promote the copyright of his fifth film is an invincible move.

"Clap..."

Fang Ziheng clapped his hands and smiled, sighing quietly: "Ms. Deng, you are the best person I have ever met who can talk business."

"Forget it, I might as well tell you, my sixth project, a fantasy movie with the theme of adventure and tomb robbery!"

"OK!"

Deng Wendi smiled, stood up with a slap on the table, stared at Fang Ziheng and said, "Director Fang, 5000 million is 5000 million. I only have one request. Twentieth Century Fox has the priority to purchase the distribution rights of your sixth movie and overseas peripherals." Full copyright rights!"

"make a deal!"

Fang Ziheng stood up and smiled at Deng Wendi.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Then, the two sides signed a new contract!
The price of "Edge of Tomorrow" is 5000 million US dollars, and all overseas online, offline and surrounding copyrights of the film were sold to [-]th Century Fox Film Company.

From the date of signing the contract, the copyright fee of 5000 million will be credited within 7 natural days.

After finishing everything, several people returned to the banquet hall.

Some unknown Caucasian female celebrities saw that they had finished their conversation, their eyes lit up, and they took the initiative to approach Fang Ziheng, winking frequently.

These female stars may have thought that after "Edge of Tomorrow" became a hit, Fang Ziheng was going to come to Hollywood to develop.

Not to mention, the figures of these female stars are really good, all of them are bulging forward and backward, and they are extremely hot.

Fang Ziheng didn't bother to talk to them, he couldn't stand the red chairs and red carpets in Hollywood.

After the dinner, everyone went upstairs to rest.

Liu Qianqian was very satisfied with his performance just now, entered the room and offered a sweet kiss directly.

"Sissy, you're playing with fire."

While enjoying it, Fang Ziheng beat him shamelessly.

Liu Qianqian let go of her pink lips, pushed him onto the bed, hooked his chin with her hand, and continued to seduce him condescendingly.

"Playing with fire, is that so?"

"Your relatives haven't left, don't make trouble."

Fang Ziheng took a breath, stared at her pink lips, and refused insincerely.

really.

The young lady gave him a flattering look, and slowly lowered her noble little head.

hiss.
the next day.

Fang Ziheng and his party came to New York, and under the arrangement of Deng Wendi, they rushed to three movie theaters.

Represented by Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao, and Hu Jun, they met and took photos with hundreds of moviegoers in the United States.

In the next week, the four of them would go to more than [-] movie theaters to help Twentieth Century Fox promote it.

Like "Four Famous Catchers", there are not many itineraries, and it is all about traveling around, while promoting and browsing the scenery.

How should I put it, they are outsiders after all, even if "Edge of Tomorrow" is a big hit, it is impossible for them to have much fans in the United States.

Only characters like Uncle Long and his unique martial arts style can attract fans all over the world.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is a group drama. Except for Liu Qianqian, a big beauty with short hair and that delightful ship-slaying knife, the other actors, including the leading actor Liu Ye, don't have many real fans.

Andy stayed in Los Angeles and continued to discuss film matters with Deng Wendi.

The acquired small company has completed the name change, Hengyu Media's US branch.

It is said to be a company, but it is actually a film studio.

The main purpose is to invest in movies reasonably. A small company like Hollywood has eight thousand if not ten thousand.

The studio has two persons in charge, one Hengyu resident employee, who is responsible for copyright, production, and film shooting.

A manager of the original company, responsible for the operation of the studio and managing all aspects of the relationship.

Fang Ziheng brought over two scripts this time, both of which were small projects with a production cost of US$2000 million.

Deng Wendi didn't like this kind of project at first, but when she learned that Hengyu would pay for the production, she only had to be responsible for pulling up the team to shoot and enjoy 20% of the movie share, she agreed without thinking.

Fang Ziheng's idea is very simple, that is, taking advantage of the good relationship between the two countries in the past few years, he can squeeze as much money as he can.

He has no plans to develop into Hollywood, nor does he have the ambition to open his company to the United States and become a multinational film giant like Wanda.

He was clear in his heart that Hengyu's main battlefield was always the mainland.

No matter how round the moon is in a foreign country, it is only a short scenic journey.

1 month 30 number.

There are two more days until New Year's Eve.

When Fang Ziheng and his party came out of the airport, Concubine Lin and the driver Fang Zhongxin came to greet them in thick down jackets.

As of today, "Edge of Tomorrow" has been released for 28 days, and the total box office in the mainland has exceeded 11.6 billion, setting a record of breaking 25 million in a single day for 2000 consecutive days.

In terms of box office strength alone, "Edge of Tomorrow" has already caught up with "Avatar".

Especially after the CCTV news, many departments and units arranged for internal reservations, so that the box office trend in the third and fourth weeks remained stable, with a total of 5 million super high box office hits.

Compared with the previous two weeks, the drop was only [-] million!

In addition, if the key of "Edge of Tomorrow" is in hand, there are still 22 days left after [-] days of release.

According to the data trend chart compiled by China Film Group, the film's final box office has a very high hope of surpassing "Avatar".

After the first two weeks of showings in the North American market, it earned $2600 million in the third week, but plummeted in the fourth week to only $1200 million, a drop of as much as 50%.

There are still five days left for the film to draw, and the total box office falls roughly at $1.6 million.

Asia and Europe also ushered in a sharp drop, with $1200 million in the third week and $800 million in the fourth week.

The painting time in the two places is the same as in the Americas, there are still five days left, and there is not much money to be made.

　The plot of foreign countries is briefly mentioned in the novel, so I won’t describe more
