Chapter 680 Box Office Split
On the plane back to the United States.
"10 million US dollars! So much!" Lisa was also surprised when she heard the number.
"This money is well worth it! This book will far exceed everyone's imagination!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Lisa pouted. However, this does not mean that Time Warner agrees!
"If they have vision, they will agree!" Qin Feng said lightly.
After arriving in the United States, after taking a short rest, Qin Feng did not go to Time Warner directly, but found Inui Mupu.
"Haha, Qin, why are you here!" Tui Mupu looked happy when he saw Qin Feng and gave him a big hug.
"No, I want to have a meal with someone from Time Warner. I wonder, Donald, to what level can you help me get an appointment?" Qin Fengxiao asked.
"Why are you looking for them? They are in the media. What you do...well, you do too many things, but I have never seen you working in the media!" Tui Mupu curled his lips.
"Can we make an appointment?" Qin Feng smiled but did not answer.
"No problem! Just wait for me to make a call." Tuibo said with a smile.
Tui Mo Pu walked aside, made a phone call and came back.
"Okay, no problem. Tomorrow night, we'll have dinner at the restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. They seem to have a meeting there." Tui Mo Bu said.
"Thank you!" Qin Feng said thanks, "Because you are so enthusiastic about helping me, I will introduce you to a business."
"What business?" Tui was curious.
Qin Feng raised the script in his hand.
"Let's go to my apartment to talk!" Qin Feng invited.
After the three of them returned to the room, Qin Feng gave the script to Tui Mo Ke.
Tumupu is also a successful businessman. Not only is he a real estate tycoon, he is also an investor in many reality shows and a sponsor of beauty pageants across the United States.
Although I have not invested in the film industry, I still have the vision.
"This script is good! It's a type of movie that's not currently available on the market. It should be very suitable for young people to watch!" Tui Mopu said.
"Is this what you want to talk to Time Warner about?" Tumbo asked.
"Well, I now hold the film adaptation rights of the "Harry Potter" series." Qin Feng said, "I want to negotiate with him. You will also join in. The two of us will use the script as a shareholding to film "Harry Potter".
Potter" and strive for box office dividends."
"Then how much equity will you give me?" Tumbu asked.
"Half!" Qin Feng said generously.
"Half?" He was extremely surprised.
This is too generous!
"What do I need to do?" Tui Mo Bu asked.
"Help me convince Time Warner, because in addition to cooperating with them, I also need to purchase the cable modem technology they own. I talked to them before and they asked for 100 million US dollars, which is too expensive. I only want the China District
Exclusive right to use it." Qin Feng said.
"This is a roundabout tactic of yours. But okay, I will try my best to help you convince them!" After thinking about it for a while, Tui Mo Bu nodded.
For him, this has only advantages and no disadvantages. At most, it is just a failure of cooperation, and he does not need to pay anything.
This business is a good deal.
The next day, Qin Feng and the others met Time Warner President Kevin in the restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
"Hi, Donald, hey, you are Lisa, Steve Jobs's daughter! Your father is one of the people I admire most. How is your father recently?" Kevin saw Lisa, hesitated for a moment, and then recognized her.
Sarai.
"It's still the same, working hard! Apart from work, there seems to be nothing more important in this world!" Lisa complained a little.
"Haha, Steve Jobs is still Steve Jobs." Kevin laughed, "But his aesthetic taste is something that all of us admire. It's a pity that he doesn't engage in art!"
Lisa smiled slightly. This comment has been heard from different successful people in many fields. For example, a reporter asked Bill Gates if he was given a chance to choose one thing, what would he choose the most?
.
Bill Gates once said that he hopes to have Steve Jobs's unique aesthetics, and even let him exchange his wealth for it.
"Who is this young man?" Kevin looked at Qin Feng with a strange look on his face.
"This is the important person in our meeting today!" Tui Mopu introduced.
"He is my boyfriend and my father's biggest partner at present!" Lisa introduced Qin Feng, endorsed Qin Feng, and told Kevin Qin Feng's background.
Kevin looked surprised.
"Mr. Qin, nice to meet you. Is there anything you need my help with?" Kevin asked with a smile.
Qin Feng smiled slightly.
It seems that today is a good start.
The four of them sat down.
Qin Feng took out the latest report on the British best-selling novel rankings.
"Today's best-selling novel in the UK is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which is an autographed book by its original author. This is the exclusive film adaptation rights I got. This is a script I wrote together with the original author.
!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "President Kevin can take a look first, and we'll talk about it later!"
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!
Kevin was surprised. He had heard of this book and knew it was popular. But he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, when it comes to movie adaptations, not all best-selling novels are suitable for adaptation.
At least for Time Warner, they don't pay attention to art films. They only pay attention to commercial blockbusters. Because making money is the only thing.
After looking at its rankings, Kevin turned his attention to the script.
After reading the script carefully, Kevin was moved.
The script is very good, and the movie also has many attractive elements. It is enough to make it a very good movie. He believes that its box office should be very good.
"I wonder how Mr. Qin wants to cooperate?" Kevin asked.
Qin Feng smiled.
"We use scripts to invest, without any upfront investment, as long as we get box office dividends. And it's a step-by-step dividend!" Qin Feng said.
"It seems interesting, let's talk about it!" Kevin smiled.
"If the total global box office is less than 300 million US dollars, we don't want any dividends. If it exceeds 300 million US dollars and reaches 400 million US dollars, we only need 1% of the total box office. If it exceeds 400 million US dollars, we only need 2%. For every additional 100 million US dollars, we only need 2%."
, we want 1% more." Qin Feng said.
"Very interesting!" Kevin said with a smile, this dividend is very interesting.
For this kind of movie, the normal investment is about 50-80 million US dollars. If the box office reaches 300 million US dollars, according to the market share, they can probably get about 140 million US dollars in box office share. Putting aside the cost, according to
Calculated at US$80 million, they can still earn US$60 million.
This is already a very good return on investment ratio. Before this, Qin Feng did not get any profit.
If it is before 400 million US dollars, based on 350 million US dollars, their box office share can be between 100 million US dollars. Putting aside the cost, that is basically 100% profit.
Giving Qin Feng 1% of the total box office share would only amount to US$3.5 million.
Chapter completed!
