Chapter 124

How can Zhuke not be greedy for the $1.8 billion global box office Titanic?

Now the opportunity is in front of us, and Zhuke will never give up!

You say that after the big ship is shown, Zhuke will offend the two giants Fox and paramount? Because Zucker took away the huge benefits they deserved?

you 're right!

Because of this part of huge interests, Zhuke is sure to offend them!

But Zucker wasn't very worried.

You know, paramount has a lot of cooperation with vold pictures of Zucker. Only five films with overseas distribution contracts have been signed. As long as paramount wants this profit, it won't embarrass Wald.

The main thing is that as long as paramount still has the idea of annexing Wald pictures, it won't get into trouble with Zucker in the short term.

In this way, there is only one fox left.

"In the 20th century, fox has a lot of Marvel superhero copyrights. I also have them in my hands. There must be a lot of contradictions in the future. Sooner or later, they will offend. What's more, there are few enemies in Hollywood! "

"You're a big company, and I'm not afraid now!"

Zhu Kexin is very confident.

The next day.

Wald pictures, together with representatives of paramount and fox, began negotiations on the investment share of Titanic.

First of all, it was paramount.

After all, the two sides are "allies" in Hollywood. Of course, paramount, one of Hollywood's top six, is on the strong side.

"Victor, we paramount account for 38% of the investment share in the ship project, and also enjoy the corresponding box office dividends, DVD and other peripheral markets. At present, we can sell some of our shares to you, but you have to pay more than the market price to buy this share. " Dave Lehmann said.

Dave Lehman, a senior production executive at Paramount Pictures, is also a veteran in the Hollywood industry.

He is in full charge of this negotiation.

"You are not right, sir." Said Victor cunningly.

Above market price?

Think too much!

As we all know, at present, the rating of Titanic by representatives of all parties is B +, and the most likely judgment is loss. Therefore, generally speaking, the investment share of this part is equal to or lower than the market price.

But now, they are selling to Wald pictures at a price higher than the market price.

Paramount's killing of fat sheep is totally undisguised!

Will Victor give in?

ha-ha! Even if it's a concession, you can't compromise on the first day of negotiation. Otherwise, you don't have to talk about it any more. You just have to be slaughtered.

13%！

Yes, that's what paramount is willing to sell on the first day of the negotiation.

However, this share can not satisfy Zhuke's appetite at all.

Negotiation. Just keep talking.

......

Fox in the 20th century.

"No way!"

"It's totally unreasonable that your price should be so high!"

"Even if we're big heads and fat sheep, we don't have you fox to do things like that."

"To give up 20% of the total investment share, you actually offered us $70 million, which is 20 million US dollars higher than the investment issue cost, and 30 million US dollars higher than the market price of today's big ship."

"Even if you want to kill people, you are too cruel."

Victor was a little angry.

In the 20th century, fox was totally talking about lions. Their price was much darker than Paramount's!

Although paramount offers a high price, it has many cooperative relations with Wald pictures. Therefore, both sides are restrained and the price is acceptable. However, fox is not authentic, really is to kill a knife rhythm.

"Is it expensive? Then you can not buy it! Oh, don't be angry, victor. Let's go on talking. It's really no good. You can ask your boss Mr. Wald again. What do you say? " Fox's negotiator laughs.

"You... You're very interesting." Victor laughed angrily.

......

The negotiations lasted for two days, with Wald pictures, Fox and paramount holding more than six negotiations.

At present, the opinions of the three parties are very clear!

The two companies are willing to sell part of their investment shares, and Wald pictures is willing to take over. However, on the issue of the price of this part of the investment share, the three parties have great differences.

Of course, that's not the main thing!

The most important thing is the final profit ratio of the film.

Reasonably speaking, for a film, the investor has the right to profit from the box office bonus, DVD, video market, TV platform broadcasting fees, film copyright, peripheral fees and so on. Even if we can't enjoy all these rights, there are many.

However, their two families are too dark!

On behalf of paramount: "no, no, no! In the Titanic project, you Wald pictures can only enjoy the box office bonus of the film. "

Fox representative: "copyright, profits of surrounding markets, are you qualified for Wald pictures?"

what the fuck!

What a bully!

Even if you are one of the top six companies in Hollywood and one of the most famous companies in the world, investors can only enjoy the right to pay dividends at the box office!

"I'm in a hurry. Don't blame me for giving up. Whoever likes to buy will buy. We Wald pictures won't participate. Goodbye, everyone Victor was direct.

In Hollywood, the profit of a film outside the box office is often 1 ~ 1.5 times of the box office profit, which involves huge interests.

Even the layman knows this!

India, South Korea, little devils and other capital, when investing in Hollywood movies, can also enjoy a part of the rights and interests beyond the box office bonus!

And they are all outsiders!

"With Lao Tzu, a Hollywood insider, I can't compare with the layman? Do they treat me as a fool? "

After Victor told him the situation, he was really angry.

"Boss, negotiation. In the end, Fox and Paramount will definitely compromise. After all, the market of Titanic is there. The reason why they are so domineering now is that they only care about the six big faces. " Victor laughs.

Zucker nodded.

Suddenly, there was a flash in his mind.

"Why?"

Zucker immediately said, "Victor, do you think if we tell the media that we are going to buy a part of the investment share of the big ship, will the media make a lot of mockery of me and Wald pictures?"

"Eh?"

Victor was stunned at the drop of his voice.

And those who take the initiative to find irony?

"Victor, you want to! The current market of big ships is that the media is not optimistic, the cinema does not pay attention to it, the film critics do not wait to see it, the audience does not expect it, and even the producers themselves want to die. In a word, the production cost plus publicity cost, a ship with a total of 300 million dollars, is a laughing stock of Hollywood. "

"If!"

"I said that once the media knew that we were going to buy the investment share of the big ship, and they were optimistic that the big ship would be popular in the future, they would certainly not miss this hot spot and ridicule me with all the ugly words."

"After all, they will never miss the chance to ridicule a billionaire!"

Word after word, Victor knew it instantly.

"Boss, you want to create a situation where we may give up the big ship under the pressure of the media. So that Fox and paramount can give up part of their interests and achieve the purpose of facilitating the negotiation quickly, right Victor suddenly realized.

Juke immediately laughed.

Media ridicule?

Who loves to mock, I have a thick skin, and I'm afraid of these?!

"The first watch" is presented.
