Chapter 655 Copyright Fee Triple Jump

The production process of Hollywood film companies is roughly divided into five stages, and the first stage is topic selection and development, conducting selection, analysis, evaluation and approval of film projects.

Many scripts were shot at this stage. They may be excellent, but they are not suitable for the actual situation of this film company.

After the project is selected, pre-production will be carried out, including project planning, forming a production team, hiring actors, conducting creative design, etc.

There is nothing to say about filming, production, promotion and distribution. Every company will cherish it unless it is for money laundering.

Now, employees of Nelson Market Research Company are asking outside bookstores in major cities across the United States, wanting to see what book fans react!

Of course, book fans alone will definitely not support the box office of a movie, so the employees of the survey company are still interviewing in downtown areas of cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc., want to see if ordinary people know this movie and whether they are willing to watch such an adaptation of this movie.

All types of consumers must consider it.

Zhou Hui walked out of the parking lot with a shoulder bag on his back. He came to the mall to buy gifts for his nephews and nieces.

He has settled in the United States and is very close to the country. Now the two little guys have graduated from elementary school in China. Zhou Hui had promised to give gifts before, so he started purchasing now.

"Sorry, do you have time to take our survey? I'm an employee of Nelson Market Research."

Zhou Hui was here to go shopping anyway and had plenty of time, so he nodded and said, "Yes, what do you want to investigate?"

"Do you know the Da Vinci Code, sir? If it was filmed and made into a movie, would you rather go to the cinema to buy tickets to watch?"

"I know this movie is very popular now, and there are discussions between colleagues and relatives and friends. But we have an app that is about to be launched recently, so it's very busy. After this period of time, I should buy it and check it out. As for shooting it into a movie, I should go!"

Zhou Kang is in all circles involving "The Da Vinci Code". Although he hasn't read the content yet, he already knows the contents in it.

Although he is an American citizen, he still agrees with Chinese culture in his heart. This work, written by a Chinese writer, is very popular all over the world, which really makes him happy.

However, the other people's ideas are different. Not everyone has heard of it or even liked this one. Its release time is still too short and its influence has not yet spread in a true sense.

"What book is this? What does it have to do with Leonardo da Vinci?"

"I haven't heard of it, and I may not be able to watch movies. I have to look at the specific actors, promotions and types."

"Chinese people are the leading actors? Then Hollywood must be crazy!"

"I love this movie to death. No matter who it is to act, I just hope the movie will not destroy the plot."

"Of course I'll go and watch it. I just recommended this to my friends and they like it very much!"

"Please keep your attitude, the movies adapted are getting ugly now, everything is unknown."

"Which director is suitable for making this movie? How can I know that I never pick directors when watching movies!"

"I don't care about this, nor do I care about whether it will be made into a movie. I just want to know why "Super Sense Hunter" was cut?"

Survey data from various parts of the United States will be summarized bit by bit, and then analyzed by professionals to get the answer!

...

"Hollywood merchants are like sharks that smell bloody. Now your book "Da Vinci Code" is so popular around the world. All the six major Hollywood film dealers are coming to negotiate contracts."

Ye Shumei feels that her work is getting higher and higher. Who would have thought that film companies including Disney, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, Warner, and Sony Columbia are all attracted by this suspense mystery.

These companies are rich and powerful. They produce many super blockbusters every year. They contract Hollywood film companies in the top six box offices in North America every year. Their status is not comparable to those small companies!

Although there are occasionally movies with huge box office, that is definitely a minority of the few.

Zhang Chu has been dealing with Hollywood companies before. "Pi's Fantasy Drift" is now invested and produced by Warner Bros., directed by Li An, and is still being filmed in a hot spot.

Dealing with these big companies is quite troublesome. Although they are rich, they are not comparable to ordinary people when they are petty!

"What conditions do they plan to offer?" Zhang Chu himself was actually not willing to hand over the movie adaptation rights so hasty. This copyright has not yet reached the highest price.

Although the box office of "The Da Vinci Code" may not be higher than that of "The Young Pi", the prices of the two are completely incomparable!

The film and television adaptation fee for the three works "Sherlock", "Pi's Fantasy Drift", and "The Da Vinci Code" will definitely have a terrifying triple jump.

From £1 million to USD 5 million plus 0.5%-1% floating global box office dividends, this time the price will not be less than USD 10 million!

The fruits are picked before they are ripe, which is a bit of a waste of resources.

Ye Shumei also understood this principle. The film company wanted to take action first and take advantage of the fact that its influence had not yet been spread in front of Volkswagen.

Hanlin Culture Media Co., Ltd. is considering Zhang Chu's interests, and of course he wants to pay the copyright fee and the higher the box office dividend, the better.

"Disney offered $8 million and 5% of North American box office dividends, and Warner Bros. gave $12 million of pure copyright fees. Sony Columbia was the stingiest, only willing to give $5 million and 5% of North American box office dividends. No wonder Sony and Paramount are getting worse and worse now!"

Zhang Chu smiled and said, "The pure copyright fee is definitely not good, unless they are willing to give 20 million or 30 million, but this will definitely cost a lot. If the sign is smashed, the copyright price will not be sold later."

"I think Disney can negotiate for a little more. If we drag on it, it will only be more beneficial to us. Anyway, we don't have to worry about not being able to find a buyer. The box office dividend must be global, and we cannot ask for profit dividends."

According to the theme of "Da Vinci Code", choosing a small and medium-sized company is definitely a self-digging grave. You must rely on large companies to avoid losing money in production and publicity.

The popularity has not dropped now, and sales are still rising. The increasingly wider audience and fame among ordinary people will be the weight of price increase.

In addition, Zhang Chu also had a heavyweight weapon that had not been sacrificed. He planned to disclose the work "Angel and the Devil" to the film company at the appropriate time!
