"Run run," said Fang Yihua, the second wife of run run. Her face was full of surprises. She came over and said excitedly, "there are a lot of senior managers and artists in the company who were going to change jobs, but now after watching the news conference of ATV, they all stay!"

Shao Yifu smell speech, lightly nodded to her!

ATV really helped Shaw film company a lot, otherwise, Shaw film company might fall apart! With a large number of brain drain, the decline of Shaw film company will become inevitable!

"Shaw, people from star media are coming. They are going to buy our movie rights!" Fang Yihua went to Run Run Shaw and said softly.

There was no expression on Shaw's face, and he nodded faintly.

Fang Yihua looks at him quietly. The Hong Kong tycoon, who used to be a film and television magnate, now has white hair on his head, which makes him feel lonely! Even so, there is still the dignity of an unusual person between the eyebrows.

A minute goes by.

Five minutes later

Run Run Shaw didn't speak for a long time, but the people of star media are still waiting for a reply. Fang has to give them an explanation. When she was just about to ask about Run Shaw, Run Shaw raised his head, sighed a little, looked at him immediately, and said, "go tell the people of star media that the film copyright of Shaw film company won't be sold to them!"

Fang Yihua was stunned and looked at him in surprise. "Don't you already think about selling the movie rights to them?"

"I changed my mind!" Shao Yifu light way, "you help me contact Asia TV, said I want to talk about the film copyright with them!"

Fang Yihua has been with Run Run Shaw for many years. He helps him with his business and is a good assistant. In addition to some surprise at the beginning, he calmed down afterwards.

"All right!" Fang Yihua answered softly, "then I will send the people of Star Media away now, and then contact ATV!"

"Well!"

Shao Yifu nodded and answered. When Fang Yihua left the room, he went to a reclining chair and sat down. Then he took out an iron box with a cigar from his pocket! Shao Yifu took out one of them and sniffed it... The smell of a Cuban cigar entered his heart.

Run Run Shaw is an old man and has seldom smoked. But he still lit his cigar today and took a deep puff! He leaned back on the couch with his eyes slightly closed. In the smell of cigars and the haze of smoke, he could not help recalling the extraordinary years of his youth

ATV never thought that Run Run Shaw was willing to sell the film copyright to itself, and then sent someone to contact him. After a week's negotiation, Run Run Shaw finally accepted to sell all the film permanent copyright of Shaw film company for HK $300 million, but this copyright only belongs to TV!

As a TV company, ATV Hong Kong film company is willing to sell the permanent copyright of its films to ATV, which is reasonable. However, if they are forced to sell the Internet copyright to ATV, it will appear that ATV has a sense of pressure!

There is no need for ATV to have such a tense relationship with Hong Kong film companies!

Piracy is rampant in Hongkong. As for Chinese mainland, piracy is more rampant. Can we expect these movies to make money on the Internet? The film network copyright is as worthless as waste paper. It can be purchased by real network company. Asian TV can just contact it. Presumably those film companies are very willing to sell the network copyright!

Sure enough, when ATV helped introduce real network company to buy the online copyright of films, film companies readily accepted and expressed their willingness to sell the copyright one after another. A representative of real network said that for films with box office between HK $1 million and HK $2 million, they would purchase the permanent online copyright of films at the price of HK $1000 per film. After that, for every 1 million increase in box office, the purchase price of film copyright will increase by HK $1000. If the box office is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, there should be 100000 Hong Kong dollars copyright fee!

If the box office is less than HK $1 million, the unified purchase price is HK $500.

At present, the largest source of films is Shaw film company, which has more than 700 films. Other film company's film is very few, can surpass 100 are very few!

Real network company spent a whole week in Hong Kong to buy the permanent copyright of the film network, and spent more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, almost all the Hong Kong films! After that, he signed a five-year contract with them. Within five years, realnetwork can still buy the permanent copyright of the film network in the same way as before, but the price will be increased by 10%. However, at the end of the contract, it is pointed out that realnetwork also has the right not to purchase the copyright!

After all, it's good for realnetwork to get so many online copyrights of Hong Kong movies and enter the Chinese Internet in the future. Moreover, there are many Chinese in the United States and Europe, and Hong Kong movies can definitely attract them. This alone is not a loss!

After winning so many movie copyrights, RealPlayer client opened a new function "Hong Kong Movie Zone", which is full of Hong Kong movies, but the subtitles are in Chinese and English!

Henry found that after the real network company bought the copyright of Hong Kong film network, it played a very important role in promoting Hong Kong Culture and even Chinese culture. Many foreigners abroad will go to see Hong Kong movies because of curiosity, thus promoting Chinese culture!

Especially at the present stage, the quality of Hong Kong films is very good, and many classic works have been made. Even when we go abroad, there is a great market!

Maybe if foreigners watch too many Hong Kong movies, they will open up the American market. At that time, earning US dollars in the United States is much better than earning Hong Kong dollars in a tiny place in Hong Kong! The box office of 10 million US dollars is close to 100 million Hong Kong dollars. You can crush all Hong Kong movies at will! However, the box office of US $10 million is not uncommon in the United States, and it can even be said that it is a very poor box office!

As a result, countless Hong Kong movie stars have gone to the United States, even if their heads are broken and blood is shed, even if their identity as big brother of Hong Kong superstar has become a minor supporting role in the United States, they are willing to!

In this world, with Henry's help and RealPlayer's promotion of Hong Kong films on the Internet, it must be easier for Hong Kong artists to enter the United States.

In the end, Henry went to Galaxy film company and told Bob Robin to select some excellent Hong Kong films to be released in the United States in the future. It doesn't matter if you earn more or less. Henry doesn't lack this money!

After that, Henry went to inspect the company.

DreamWorks has been established and successfully joined Galaxy film company! Although David Geffen didn't agree at first, Spielberg and Jeffrey carsenberg agreed. He had no choice but to agree. Finally, after negotiation, Galaxy film company invested 70 million US dollars, while Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey carsenberg each invested 10 million US dollars, holding 70%, 10%, 10% of the shares respectively.

In addition, Vita Studios has also been acquired 70% equity by Galaxy film company, but the studio's headquarters are still in New Zealand. At first, Vita's founder, Peter Jackson, was reluctant to sell the company, but Galaxy pictures said that if Peter Jackson agreed, the Lord of the rings series would be made by him.

Peter Jackson is an outstanding director and a big fan of the Lord of the rings. His biggest wish is to make the Lord of the rings movie. Now the opportunity has come. He is so excited that he almost jumps up. He immediately said, as long as I shoot "the Lord of the rings", I will agree to join the main Vita studio Galaxy film company!!!

Bob Robin is worried about Peter Jackson because Peter Jackson is a new director. But if the Lord of the rings doesn't go to Peter Jackson, Henry won't be at ease! Such a grand and epic film is beyond the control of ordinary directors. Peter Jackson is a genius in the field of directing. He has a natural ability in this field! He had proved himself in his previous life, and Henry had a hundred confidence in him!

Henry's decision, Bob Robin is not afraid to violate. In the end, Galaxy film company invested $10 million in Vita studios, holding 70% of the shares, but the contract specifically states that the director of the Lord of the rings is Peter Jackson
