Chapter 751 Buying a Script

Lin Tao didn't expect things to go so smoothly. It felt like a dream. It seemed that Peter really needed such a sum of money to escape.Now that the matter is over, Lin Tao will not delay Zhao Anhua's time any longer.But Zhao Anhua had already pushed back the party, so naturally he wouldn't let Lin Tao go easily and drag him to talk about investment.

It turned out that Zhao Anhua had another good script in his hand and wanted to talk to Lin Tao so that he could spend more money to buy it.Lin Tao believed in Zhao Anhua's vision, but he obviously still had a movie in his hand, so why did he just eat what was in the bowl and look at what was in the pot?

It's not that Zhao Anhua wants to start filming on both sides at the same time, even if he wants to, he has no skills at all, but the script is really good, I dare not say it is a good script that is once in a century, at least it is a good script that is once in ten years.Directors are like this. When they encounter a good script, if they are not in their own hands, they will feel uncomfortable no matter what.

After Lin Tao heard the asking price of the script, he opened his mouth and said it was 300 million without bargaining.That's not counting, and even asked for 2% of the box office share. You must know that even 2% is definitely not a small sum.

Zhao Anhua persuaded patiently, and Lin Tao listened carefully. After all, he is an expert in this field, and he still needs to grasp some directions.Zhao Anhua is very optimistic about the script both inside and out, and even said that if it is done properly, a series can be produced, and there are even comics, books and other peripherals, and the income will definitely be considerable.

There is absolutely no lack of series of movies in the history of American movies. Whether it is "Alien", "Star Wars", "Stargate" or "Star Trek", they can all be regarded as textbooks of science fiction movies.Not to mention superhero series movies like "Batman" and "Superman", even if not all of them are blockbusters, their popularity and reputation are worth continuing to make sequels. As long as there is a big hit, the money lost before is enough to earn back .

Peripheral products are a way to make money, especially superhero comics and figurines. The comics also say that figurines cost tens of dollars or even hundreds of dollars in the United States, even for Americans. It is not a small burden, if you are not a true enthusiast, you will definitely not be willing to buy it.

Therefore, even if this is the case, a group of loyal fans will be cultivated after a period of time. Now you can find out by checking the Internet. There are so many superheroes in the United States, and each hero has a fixed fan base, whether it is movies or peripheral products. , they all bought it very much.

When Zhao Anhua made such a suggestion, Lin Tao immediately moved his mind. He should set up a peripheral product company serving Phantom Company, specializing in the production of movie peripheral products produced by Phantom Company.If, as Zhao Anhua said, this script can be successfully made into a movie, then a large number of peripheral products will be produced immediately, at least the influence of the movie will not disappear within half a year, and you can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.

For Zhao Anhua's professional vision, Lin Tao would never doubt it, but the more he admired it, the more curious Lin Tao became, so he simply asked Zhao Anhua to take the script to have a look.Of course, it can't be a complete script, it's just the first dozen or so pages, but even so, Lin Tao was immediately attracted.

The stories of American sci-fi movies are very old-fashioned. At the beginning, either the soldiers who are serving are injured and rested, or the life of retired soldiers is poor, or the originally promising young people are lost in the wine pool and meat forest for some reason, but this script design is very interesting. Even old wine in new bottles is very innovative.

Lin Tao used to be called an otaku and played a lot of games, so he could tell at a glance that there was a shadow of "StarCraft" under Blizzard Entertainment in this script.There was a movie called "Ender's Game" before, which was called a real tvsz by StarCraft fans, and this script also has the same setting.

The United States is a country with a strong sense of copyright. Lin Tao couldn't take risks, so he turned to Li Hui and asked, "What if copyright issues are involved?"

Li Hui said: "In some creative aspects, you can learn from it. If you copy it completely, you need to buy the copyright, otherwise there will be no big problem."

Lin Tao said to Zhao Anhua: "If you want me to invest, you can, but I need to see the complete script."

Zhao Anhua was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, everything hadn't been negotiated yet, so it was not in compliance with the rules to just complete the script.

Li Hui said: "Doesn't the Screenwriters Union have a complete certification system? If the other party is afraid of having their ideas stolen, we can just pay to register and let him not worry."

Zhao Anhua nodded and said: "Don't be afraid to tell the truth, that man is so poor that all he has left is the script, otherwise he wouldn't dare to ask for 300 million. This script was created by him over the course of 6 years, with repeated deletions and revisions. The deleted text You can write a set of "Harry Potter"."

"Could it be that there is no money for registration?" Lin Tao stared, saying that there are many "madmen" in the United States, but he did not expect to meet one.

"No, originally I planned to help him register, but he didn't agree."

"Oh, then give him money and let him register himself!"

"No way..." Zhao Anhua shook his head and said, "He has some taints, he once plagiarized other people's scripts, and was expelled from the screenwriters' union!"

Lin Tao suddenly had a headache, and wondered what kind of person this is. He copied other people's scripts before, so can it be guaranteed that they are original now?

Zhao Anhua expected that he would think so, and explained: "You can rest assured that this script is absolutely original, otherwise he wouldn't dare to show it to me!"

"Then what should we do?" Lin Tao had no choice but to look at Li Hui.

"Sign a transfer agreement, and pay him 300 million." Li Hui thought for a while, and said, "But you have to bear the legal responsibility for it. If there is plagiarism, then..." He didn't finish his sentence, but he could express it. The meaning is already obvious.

"He still needs the screenwriter's name!" Zhao Anhua added.

Lin Tao burst into tears immediately, this man is so awesome, he has everything.

"Well...then I'd better read the complete script, and now I really can't guarantee it." Lin Tao shook his head and said, "If he is worried about my plagiarism, he can arrange a place to meet and discuss the script face to face, so that he won't worry? "

Anyway, this is a compromise method, Zhao Anhua said: "Then I will arrange it."

Lin Tao chuckled, and said, "Brother Zhao, don't be a director, just act as an intermediary for me. I'm very optimistic about your potential."

Zhao Anhua glared at him, which was simply an insult to himself, and snorted, "Without the identity of a director, where can I meet so many people, and where can I introduce you to business?"

Lin Tao laughed loudly and said, "That's right, that's right, it's true!"
