Chapter 617

Kevin Fitch is a very courageous man. After a lot of investigation and thinking, he immediately agreed to Irene Kruger's plan. Take the film and television adaptation right of "midnight bell" and turn it into "American version of midnight bell".

Give me an order.

Wald pictures (Japan) sent a letter of notification to ace pictures, the copyright owner of "the ring of midnight", as soon as possible.

The boss of ACE Pictures Film Company in Japan, once saw that it was his American father who wanted to buy the North American copyright of "midnight bell", now he agreed without hesitation.

"President, do you really want to sell the North American copyright to Wald pictures?"

Tanaka, one of the top executives, hesitated.

Smell speech, ACE picture film company's boss said in a deep voice: "certainly want to sell, and want to sell in a big way!"

Tanaka Jiaoren

The boss raised his lips and said with a smile: "although the movie" the bell at midnight "has brought us huge returns, it has also made us a thorn in the side of many film companies. You can see how hard the company has been maintaining in recent years."

Tanaka Kok's speech was stopped at jenton.

A "midnight bell" movie has created a box office miracle in Japan and even the whole Asia, with countless applause and flowers coming one after another.

At the same time, it is also accompanied by a lot of pressure from the same industry!

The boss said in a loud voice: "so this time the film copyright must be sold, and it is sold in a big way. I want those colleagues who are looking forward to the collapse of ACE picture film company to know that behind us is the existence of Hollywood film giants."

In words, the boss of ACE pictures is full of fighting spirit.

"Er..."

Tanaka's face twitched slightly and said weakly: "president, Wald pictures from Hollywood just wants to buy the copyright of the adaptation of" midnight bell ". It... Won't support us."

The voice fell.

"Asshole, you stupid fellow!"

"As long as we spend a little money on the media and publicize things, then we'll just say what we say," the boss of ACE pictures said

"It doesn't matter what the truth is!"

"As long as the investors who are interested in our company believe it, it can bring a big wave of cash flow to our company."

Tianzhongjiao Rendang raised his thumb and praised: "the president is wise ~ ~"

One wants to buy, the other wants to sell.

The two sides hit it off.

In just two days, Wald pictures won the U.S. copyright of the midnight bell, and paid only $150000 for the copyright.

Don't be too little~

You know, in 2002, after the fire of Xiangjiang movie Infernal Affairs, Warner Bros. of Hollywood bought the adaptation right, and paid only 200000 dollars.

Hollywood film companies purchase film adaptation rights and remake rights outside the United States

All along, the cost is not very much.

Well, it's far less than the cost in the United States.

Especially in the 1990s and early 2000, you will find a strange look in Asia.

It's an honor for you that your movie can be seen by Hollywood.

Money without money is another matter.

Sometimes, for the sake of a little vanity, it's not uncommon to give away the copyright to Hollywood film companies.

Wald pictures, Los Angeles.

"Ai Ren, the company has taken the right to adapt the" midnight bell. "

Said Kevin Fitch.

Hearing this, Irene Kruger, the new screenwriter of the franchise company, was very surprised and said, "thank you very much for Mr. Fitch's approval. I will live up to your expectations. Believe me, I will put the adapted script on your desk in two weeks. "

Kevin Fitch smiles and pats Irene on the shoulder: "man, don't fight like that. Don't forget, there are many excellent screenwriters in our company. I believe they can help you. "

AI Ren nodded heavily.

At the moment, he is undoubtedly quite moved. The attention from Kevin Fitch is something he has never felt before during his five years in DreamWorks.

"Spielberg, the great director?"

"The ace screenwriter - Graham Jost?"

"I'll make you regret it! I believe you will regret that you let me leave when I finish "midnight bell" and get a high box office! I believe it

Irene Kruger swore in his heart.

After Irene left, Kevin Fitch was left in the office, but he quickly picked up the phone from his desk and dialed a number.

Soon.

Gavin O'Connor, director of the company's production department, appeared in the office.

"Mr. Fitch, what can I do for you?"

Gavin O'Connor asked.

Kevin said immediately: "the company has just bought the right to adapt a movie called" midnight bell "from ace Pictures Film Company in Japan, and now it has entered the stage of screenplay adaptation. As the person in charge of the production department of the company, I need you to do some data simulation on the production cost, crew setting, director, producer and other important candidates of the film. "

Gavin O'Connor nodded, "OK, I'll take it."

......

Two days later.

When Zhuke was working in Golden Dawn entertainment group, he saw a copy of the project approval document of "US version of midnight bell" submitted by Wald pictures.

"It turned out to be midnight bell!"

Zhuke was surprised.

If you ask Zhuke as a passer-by if he has ever seen "midnight bell", then Zhuke will tell you that he not only has seen it, but also has fresh memories.

Video, Kui, TV, Zhenzi

Zhenzi, a disheveled and defeated woman, slowly crawled out of the TV

Just the picture of Zhenzi crawling out of the TV is a classic shot in the history of film, and also one of the childhood shadows of countless movie audiences.

The plot of the film is not bloody horror, but by creating a suspense atmosphere to capture the mood of the audience and generate fantasy, coupled with the excellent horror sound effect, the audience is very nervous when watching.

When the film was released in Xiangjiang in July 1998, with a total revenue of HK $31 million, it became the highest box office film in Xiangjiang that year, breaking the record of the new year's film king of comedy.

"Shouldn't the American version of midnight bell be won by DreamWorks? How did it become a Wald project? "

There are many doubts in the heart of Zhuke, the first time to call Kevin Fitch to verify.

"What?"

"We really took the copyright, and it only cost 150000 dollars?"

"Hehe, it's really cheap!"

......

Hang up.

Zhuke's mouth slightly raised: "it's really a surprise..."

"Thanks to Steven Spielberg and Graham Jost. If they hadn't driven Irene away, I wouldn't have got the American version of midnight bell."

The cunning student Zhuke knows that the American version of "midnight bell" has won 250 million US dollars at the box office worldwide.

Dong Dong Dong~

Just then, chief assistant Alexander knocked on the door of the office.

When he came in, he handed Zucker a report.

Zhuke took a look and immediately took a cold breath. He said in a deep voice, "this year's Halloween schedule is completely cool, and it's the worst one in history!"
