Chapter 1375

Of the numerous film companies in Hong Kong today, only two exist.

One is the one who does not own the copyright of zombie movies, but realizes that zombie movies may glow in the second spring, so people who want to buy the copyright of zombie movies everywhere;

the other is the one who originally had the copyright of zombie movies in his hand, but was bought out by the Makino image some time ago.

They are now chagrined. The original Muye image has been prepared for a long time. They may have known that the elements of Chinese zombies will be hot when they developed the new version of "plant vs. Zombies online", so they bought all the copyright of zombie movies in their hands.

The most depressing thing for this kind of person is that the price given by Makino image can only be regarded as the price of cabbage, which is not intended to deceive people by Makino image, but the quotation given by these film and television companies themselves

In their opinion, these zombie movies are rubbish without any value. Some people are willing to buy them. No matter how much money they make, they earn it. So the price they offer is not high.

What's more, the bad food is that they used to pack and sell.

Muye image didn't want those bad movies that were poorly made. Zombie movies were so popular that they did produce too many bad movies. Even Lin Zhengying himself shot many bad movies of this type. However, these film and television companies had a hard time waiting for a buyer, so they put forward their own strict requirements.

For example, in Huanya, Makino image wants to buy the copyright of their "Mr. zombie" series. Besides Hong Kong, all countries and regions want the right to broadcast cinema, television and audio-visual products. At the beginning, Huanya wanted a "high price" of 500000 yuan. After all, the film has been nearly 20 years, and in the last ten years, the income has been 50000 yuan None, so 500000 is really a high price. However, just because there are so many zombie movies that can't make value, Huanya has just opened a package price. 800000 sold the copyright of more than 30 of its zombie movies to Makino image, so Makino Image Photo sheet has been collected.

Now look at the price. It's really a loss. It's a loss to grandma's house!

Those who want to buy the copyright of zombie movies, burst the phone, but they can't find a zombie movie that hasn't sold the copyright yet, and the answer they get makes them spit blood. These zombie movies, without exception, are all bought by Makino image, and the price is horribly cheap!

In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong films were still very influential in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. At that time, issuers in Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea often bought Hong Kong copyrights, or even snapped up Hong Kong Film copyrights. However, in recent years, the decline of Hong Kong films has been too severe, and these issuers have rarely focused on Hong Kong. However, the new version of "plant war is dead" Corpse online created a dazzling wind, and these people also smelled the business opportunities, and they went to Hong Kong film companies to buy the film copyright. As a result, Hong Kong Film and television companies with zombie film copyright only left the copyright of Hong Kong's own island. Except for Hong Kong, all the copyright went into the hands of Makino image

Not only the film copyright, but also the zombie TV series copyright like zombie Taoist priest, have been searched by Makino image

"Great! It's amazing! " Countless bosses of Hong Kong film companies are scolding Makino image for such malicious scavenging behavior. In their eyes, Makino image's practice is like knowing in advance that the plague is going to be popular, so buying all the medicines is just as abhorrent.

However, in Li Mu's eyes, this is what a businessman should do. If you find business opportunities, you should seize them. If you know in advance that a stock is bound to rise without any risks or accidents, the most correct thing you can do is to put all the money you can raise and borrow into it, either spend every cent or buy it all Stock is the most correct way. What's more, he doesn't really want to make a little difference by speculating on copyright. What he wants is to take all the copyright in his own hands and then do the external authorization and output by himself.

Let countless guerrillas fight on their own. They may not be able to form a joint force, or even have internal friction and interference with each other. It's better to simply gather all the armed forces together and form a group army, and then aim at one direction and strike hard!

Based on this idea, as well as the curiosity and attention of overseas people to the Chinese zombie, the local culture of China, Li Mu made Makino image release a big news in the global film and television industry: at present, the rights of all Hong Kong zombie films "countries and regions outside Hong Kong" are in Makino image's hands, and more than ten of them were originally box office and audience The head works with good reputation can all be copyrighted.

At the same time, Makino image also announced that all non Hong Kong countries and regions, except Hong Kong, should not use these films for commercial purposes, otherwise, Makino image will safeguard its rights to the end.

As soon as the news was announced, Muye image received the cooperation intention of publishers from all over the world. What's more, the mainland TV stations went crazy and broadcast a large number of zombie films, which lasted less than 48 hours and disappeared completely. After Muye image released the news, no TV station dared to broadcast these zombie works.

Those TV stations that have just started broadcasting zombie TV series can only stop broadcasting immediately and use other TV series as substitutes.In this era, it's difficult for satellite TV station to respect the copyright absolutely when broadcasting films. Most of the films broadcast on TV have no copyright from the broadcaster, that is, TV station. But because of the imperfection of the law and the chaos of the market, no matter in Hong Kong film circle or Hollywood, there is no way to take the mainland TV station.

However, these TV stations dare not ignore the copyright issues of Hong Kong film circle and Hollywood, but absolutely dare not ignore the technology of Makino.

Everyone knows what kind of person Li Mu is. His influence in the world is so great that people in the media doubt life. If the copyright of these films and TV plays is in his company's hands, no TV station dare to touch him. Therefore, everyone has a tacit understanding to stop the infringement, and then start to look for the Makino image to buy the projection right.

From the quotations of major TV stations, we can see how much the business is worth.

Xiangnan satellite TV wants the broadcasting rights of "Mr. zombie" series, "happy ghost" series, as well as "Yimei Taoist", "ghost beat ghost" and "scary people", which are more classic films. The price given is 500000 yuan for one film, which is broadcast three times. If it can be broadcast alone, the price can be doubled five times.

Because of Li Mu's influence, zombie movies are the only field in China that strictly abides by the copyright regulations. Usually, independent broadcasting is likely to be infringed by other TV stations, but this time it is impossible. Whoever is authorized by the image of Muye can broadcast it alone.

The head of Muye image hoped to take this opportunity to talk about the price and try to earn tens of millions or even more from these TV stations all over the country. But Li Mu's phone call set a big tone for these copyrights.

Li Mu requires that the external authorization of these copyrights should not be for the core purpose of making money, but for the core purpose of communication and influence. Therefore, TV stations in the mainland, Taiwan and Macao must not be authorized exclusively for the purpose of making money, but not exclusively for the purpose of making money, and the use price of copyrights should be reduced. Li Mu's price is 50000 yuan for first-line works One time broadcasting right, 30000 second-line works, 10000 third-line works, 50% for the second time and above.

That is to say, if any TV station, no matter the satellite TV station, or the local city or county TV station, wants to broadcast Mr. zombie, they can play it once on their own TV station as long as they pay 50000 yuan copyright fee. If they want to play it for the second time, they will pay 25000 yuan extra.

For TV stations, the price is really appalling, and the threshold is low. It also indicates that more TV stations can broadcast zombie movies more times, which has a very good role in promoting this special popular wave.

As for the TV series, it costs only 200000 yuan, and the price is too low for the TV station to imagine.

Compared with the domestic market, Li Mu paid more attention to the foreign market.

This is the output of a culture in itself, and it needs distributors from all over the world to be responsible for the specific landing. Therefore, Li Mu's requirement is that all works must not be taken out in one go, which not only distracts attention, but also may cause an over reaction. Now all the copyright of zombie movies are in his own hands, so he can take the best route and take the best one first "Mr. zombie" go out and try water. If this one gets a good response, go on to the second one.

A film of 18 years ago, if you want to have any big gains at the overseas box office, it may not sound very big at first, but in view of the current situation, the operating space is relatively large.

First of all, for the western film industry, it's not a summer movie or a Christmas movie. The box office is quiet, and the resources of the cinema are not so hot and abundant;

secondly, the new version of "zombie online in plant Wars" has brought Chinese zombies to the fire, and most overseas players like this new element;

thirdly, Li Muliang is on the overseas network On the basis of zombie movie materials, I went to popularize Chinese zombie culture with other netizens, and made use of the water army to explore and guide the interest of netizens. I found that many netizens are still interested in this Chinese zombie element, and many people left comments in the comments, mentioning that they hope to have a chance to see such a movie;

so, in a comprehensive view, everyone has been interested in this kind of movie The potential market space has already existed, and through such network science popularization, we know that these are relatively old films, which are particular about nostalgia, foreign culture and foreign customs. Therefore, they should have psychological preparation for the quality of the pictures, and the requirements will not be as high as those of the 21st century new films. In a comprehensive view, zombie films have a prospect to go to sea, and they have a bright future in the future It shouldn't be a big problem to make some box office achievements overseas!
