Chapter 1129

Harvey himself is quite optimistic about the film, but what he really values is not the artistic value of the film, nor the pure commercial value of the film, but the value of deep operation.

Harvey is like an excellent plastic surgeon. He can see through the facial features of a movie at a glance and find the best plastic scheme. Such a change may seem small, but it can make the movie stand out.

For hero, he has a whole set of operation plan for a long time. The most important part of this plan is how to mix Quentin's name into the movie and use Quentin's reputation to attract North American audiences.

Because Harvey knows very well that the North American audience does not understand Chinese martial arts culture. They just watch a lively, visual effect and exotic style.

From the perspective of visual effect, "hero" has no problem. What is missing now is a little gimmick that fooled the audience.

Just because the audience can't understand such a movie, it's better to be fooled. If you put on the name of director Zhang Da and invest 30 million dollars in North America for publicity, you may not get 30 million dollars at the box office. But if you put on the name of Quentin, even if you only have 300 thousand publicity, you can also get at least 30 million dollars at the box office, which is Quentin's appeal.

And Quentin himself is a stylized big director. Even if his audience doesn't understand his movie after watching it, they will spread the story about how Quentin style and how awesome it is. No one is willing to admit that they don't understand Quentin, but they are proud to be able to understand Quentin.

Harvey is Quentin's bole. He is absolutely sure that Quentin can cooperate with him. So as long as he gets the film and Quentin's name, the film can make a big profit in North America. And the most important thing is that Chinese people have no confidence in the North American box office of the film, which means that he has great potential to buy it at a low price Movie, then get North America hot fry, make a lot of money.

That's exactly what happened in the last life. Harvey bought out the North American distribution right of hero with the shell of Miramax film company. The so-called buyout means that after he bought it with one price, everything will be owned by others. It has nothing to do with the original copyright owner to earn more or less.

If Harvey paid a million dollars for the North American box office of hero, even if Harvey made tens of millions of dollars in the North American box office with the film in the end, it has nothing to do with Zhang Da's director and producer. The only thing they can get is fame, which is the capital to raise their value and boast.

However, although the box office of "hero" packaged in this way has set the overseas box office record of Chinese film history, in fact, for North American users, most of them are paying for Quentin, and they may not know who the director is at last.

Originally, the producer of hero hoped to establish cooperation with Harvey as soon as possible, so as to prevent Li Mu from breaking its overseas development route in the future if he sticks to hero. Therefore, if he sells the copyright to Harvey as soon as possible, he can get rid of the risk of being encircled and suppressed by Li Mu.

Harvey himself is also ready to confirm the copyright agreement with the producer of hero as soon as possible, but when he learned that the box office of hero in China was extremely poor, he immediately played a little trick, and decided to use the box office defeat as an excuse to further reduce the already negotiated cost of copyright buyout, which made the producer of hero angry.

However, director Zhang Da suggested that the producers should not worry about money for the time being and establish cooperation with Harvey as soon as possible. Because Harvey has a great influence in Hollywood, if the film wants to hit the best foreign language film of Oscar, it cannot do without Harvey's lobbying. If we don't confirm cooperation with Harvey as soon as possible, in case Li Mu is the first producer, what will happen What kind of changes.

The producer and the capital side also realized the potential threat of Li Mu. After several discussions, they decided to agree to Harvey's request and sell Harvey the North American distribution copyright of hero at 40% of the original negotiated price.

Lost 60% of the buyout income, which makes the whole "hero" out of the box depressed, but there is no way, can only pray that Harvey can stir up the influence of the film in North America, let everyone although not earn money, but also a little bit of fame.

For Harvey, who lives far away in Hollywood, this news is really wonderful. His favorite is to use this conspiracy to get other people's copyrights at a low price, and then make the most profit through his own operation.

For people like Harvey, strength is not directly proportional to character. Director Feng Da once denounced Harvey publicly, saying that his usual trick in China is to lure domestic filmmakers with high prices, such as eight million to buy the copyright in North America. This price will scare away all his intended competitors. Then Harvey paid a small amount of deposit to let Chinese filmmakers release it Xin, but when the movie is finished, he immediately repents that the movie is not needed. He would rather give up the deposit than buy the copyright at the agreed price. But it's too late to find a new seller at this time. At last, Harvey can only buy it at a very low price. The earliest price is 8 million yuan, and the actual transaction may be only one million yuan.

Harvey immediately sent a representative to China to sign the final buyout agreement with hero's production company. But he never dreamed that when his representative was sitting on the plane to China, YY users across the United States received a news pop-up.This pop-up news point has a huge amount of information, including the whole process of the birth, development and joint killing of dozens of film and television companies. There are not only many articles, reports, but also a large number of pictures and demonstration videos.

In this push, Harvey, who has a keen sense of smell, didn't have time to see the beginning and end of the event. He immediately realized the magic of the pastoral film ticketing system, and immediately flashed his eyes on this awesome product!

Even though he has the ability to turn over the clouds and rain in Hollywood, Harvey still admires the animal husbandry and film ticketing system. The more powerful people are, the more respect they have. He has not been so shocked for a long time. So when he sees the first idea of this push, he hopes to get this system to North America!

with Harvey's deep understanding of the film and television industry, he knows very well that if the system can be popularized in North America, it will bring great changes and improvements to the entire North American box office. By that time, the whole Hollywood will benefit from it. And in Harvey's view, this system is easy to transplant to the United States, so long as Alipay is replaced by PayPal, the system will end. It can be popularized in North America!

Harvey is very excited to send a text message to his subordinates sent to China, asking him to find a way to contact Makino image after landing. He wants to buy the North American right to use the system. Once the system is in hand, coupled with his influence in Hollywood and the whole North American film and television industry, it will be able to quickly popularize it in the whole North America, which is the benefit Big, even Harvey himself can't imagine.

However, just after Harvey sent the text message, he continued to read the pushed content, and was surprised to find that the original system was boycotted by the film and television companies in China. Looking down, Harvey's eyes were almost out!

In this global simultaneous push, Li Mu released the list of companies that secretly killed the film and TV ticketing system, even including many evidences of stabbing their backs, such as the records of the transfer and remittance of the production company of hero to the domestic water army team, the email exchange records of heroes and other business owners, and even the email exchange records of their business owners The photos and recordings of a restaurant dinner were stolen.

In a word, the sufficient evidence chain announced by Li Mu this time definitely makes these dozens of film and television companies struggle to get rid of the relationship!

When Harvey found out that there was the production company of hero, and even the company was still playing an important role in it, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!

First of all, Harvey has no doubt about Li Mu's influence. He knows how powerful Li Mu's influence and appeal are in the world. He just didn't expect that Li Mu's way of counterattack was so fierce that he directly used all the resources to counterattack his opponents;

Second, he didn't expect that the company he wanted to cooperate with was the one Li Mu fought back openly The biggest enemy;

once again, if you continue to cooperate with this company, you will offend Li Mu. At that time, let alone the possibility of buying the animal husbandry and film ticketing system from Li Mu. The most important thing is that if Li Mu also regards himself as a rival, he can't stand his attack. Although he is very competitive in the film and television industry, he and Li Mu can't stand it By comparison, the power gap is too big, not in a dimension at all.

The wily Harvey almost immediately made a decision to fight back against Li Mu's attack on the production company of hero. The North American copyright of hero said that he could not ask for anything. Even if the film had a large profit margin, he had to give up, because this thing was the one that drew hatred. Whoever took it in his hand would offend Li Mu, and Harvey himself He should continue to work in the film and television industry. He can't offend a super tycoon like Li Mu for the profit of a movie.

After making this decision, Harvey immediately sent another message to his subordinates sent to China: give up the copyright of hero and don't talk to them again. There is only one task for you in the next few days. Try everything to get in touch with the senior level of Makino image!

After sending this message, Harvey didn't see a reply for a long time. Then Harvey suddenly thought that the other party might be on the flight to China now, so Harvey decided not to wait any longer. He immediately set out to visit Li Mu in China before other Hollywood film and television companies reacted!
