Chapter 173： one little thing

Eric pushed the door into the living room, and Drew, who heard the sound, immediately jumped out of the sofa and slammed into Eric’s arms with excitement, but the smiling expression was after taking two small noses. I was not happy at the moment. In Erik's speechless dodge, Xiao Nizi apologized on Eric's left cheek, and stretched out his sleeves and wiped it on, so he kissed him up.

Eric was teased and stunned by the action of Shantou. In the first two steps, Xiaonizi, who was on his waist, fell down and threw it into the sofa. He sat down and asked: "Okay, hurriedly shouted at me." What's the matter back?” Eric said, having noticed the eye-catching black folder on the coffee table in front of him, and took it up and opened it. A copyright transfer contract appeared in front of Eric.

"Oh, the copyright of "Jin Yu Meng", your action is still very fast, I thought that after the summer vacation, you can take it down."

Drew smiled on Eric, his chin on the shoulder of Eric: "Here is Hollywood, as long as there is money, a lot of things are much easier."

“How much did it cost?” Eric took the contract off the metal clip of the folder and asked casually.

“3.5 million,” Shantou said, not too confident to say the price, but quickly explained: “It’s just copyright, permanent, and even some of the original music copyrights are owned by us.”

Eric nodded, if it was as Drew said, then the price is still acceptable, even if it is used to enrich the firefly library, and then wait for "Seattle Night Sleep" is hot, maybe you can invest in remake this What about movies? Although Eric originally only allowed Drew to get the copyright within five years of the film, he can also imagine that a copyrighted company would have a chance to encounter a fat sheep that was interested in this 30-year-old movie. I must be slaughtered for five years? Don't sell it, if you want to buy it, you can take it all. It is expensive.

When I saw Eric nod, Drew sighed and began to explain: "This movie was originally made by an investor named Jerry Wald, but the guy didn't make it. After opening the film company, I made a few good movies, but after a few years, my heart attack died. The copyright of several films of his film company was also sold by his will to another film company. Later, that The film company went bankrupt, and it turned a few times and fell into the hands of Fox."

"Wow," Eric saw the name of the 20th Century Fox in the document, and heard the explanation from Shantou, almost jumping up.

Drew was able to speak up and was shocked by Eric suddenly, and asked with a big eyes: "How... what's wrong, what's wrong?"

"You mean... This movie was bought from the 20th Century Fox?" Eric held a trace of luck and asked again.

The eyelashes of the skull and eyes flashed innocently, and the chin was a little bit: "Yes?"

Eric said with a wry smile: "This is bad, and I will definitely be hated by Fox in the future."

That night was entangled in the little girl, Eric only temporarily found a 'summer part-time job' for the girl, completely did not consider the copyright ownership of "Jin Yumeng", if it is Warner, Universal or School that has nothing to do with him Ramon, Eric did not have any cooperation with the other party. The pit was a pit. The movie was also a business. To make money, to celebrate, to be appointed, to be appointed.

However, I still didn't expect that the copyright of "Jin Yu Meng" was in the hands of the 20th Century Fox. He is still in the honeymoon period with Fox, and he does not want to make the relationship between the two sides stiff. Therefore, when Colombia wanted "The Dark War", Eric explained to Barry Diller and made a TV series. Compensation, but the reality is always easy to make fun of people, God, his old man really does not want him to maintain good relations with Fox.

If "Seattle Night Sleeps" is released, the video of "Jin Yumeng" sells 2 million copies as the previous generation heard that friend said, that is 60 million US dollars in sales, equivalent to a big movie. It is. Although the film company always claims that the videotape profits are less than 20%, the remaining 80% is the cost, but as long as you understand a little, you know that this is nonsense, and the profit margin of the videotape is easy. Can exceed 50%, higher than the box office profit ratio. Then, with the video of "Jin Yumeng", Eric can get at least 30 million US dollars in income from this business.

Eric can almost think of some people because of this trend of violently.

Drew saw Eric's changing face and curiously asked: "How is it possible, we have slashed $3.5 million, and Fox made money, how could it still hate us?"

"Yeah, but although we spent more than three million, but if it is less than a year, we will make 30 million US dollars with this movie. What do you think Fox thinks?"

Shantou surprised to hold the small mouth, Eric let her take the copyright of the film, said that it can make a profit, Drew thought it was only a million or two is good, so just said $3.5 million price At the time, the girl is still awkward, if it can really earn 30 million...

"But... it seems... Eric, the people of Fox don't know that we bought it. I just fear that I was directly mentioned by someone. I deliberately found an agent. After he got the copyright, he transferred it to him. I, from beginning to end, Fox doesn't know that we want to buy the copyright of this movie...” Drew said, and the voice is getting lower and lower, she soon thought, if the movie is to sleep in Seattle in the future. The influence of the "big money" made a lot of money, Fox people as long as the IQ is no problem, can definitely think of Eric.

Thinking of this, Shantou spit out his tongue: "That, Eric, what do we do now?"

Eric licked his temple and thought about it. At the end of the "Seattle Night Sleep", the video of "Jin Yumeng" to create a sales miracle is definitely something next year. By then, the contract with Fox this year has already been After the fulfillment, don't worry that Fox will be stalked in the film distribution. At the time of profit sharing, Fox will play a little trick, delay, and the like, but Eric is not worried because the terms of the contract signed last year are In great detail, once Fox defaults, there is no possibility of winning the case in the court. Eric is not like the filmmakers in the past, the movie is sold, only to find that the contract with the film company is not detailed enough, causing a few Year's dispute.

"Forget it, just like this, the meat in your mouth can't be spit out. Anyway, Fox voluntarily sells it, and we have also offered such a high price."

"Hey," Xiao Nizi also stunned Eric's spoiled look: "However, Eric, there is another little thing..."
