Chapter 030 Innocent, too naive

The new line came faster than expected. He was a fat middle-aged man. In addition to his appearance, he looked like the fat technical policeman in the American drama he accidentally watched half a season of the American TV series, "The Law Enforcer of Heaven".

There is also a name on the United States, similar to "Xiaoqiang" and "Xiaogang" that are the same bad-selling names, Jack, Jack Bryan, and Kobe Bryan.

In short, Hu Mingle and Thomas met each other in a cafe near the school, and after some greetings, they ordered their own coffee.

Jack took the lead and said directly: "So, hu, is the entire copyright of "The God of Death" in your hands? There is no other controversy, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Brian, there is no dispute."

Upon hearing this, Hu Mingle nodded and confirmed without denying whether the other party was suspicious or for any other confirmation purpose.

"So do you have the intention to transfer the copyright of this movie?"

"No, Mr. Brian, did Uncle Doyle not explain the situation to you?"

As Jack asked another question, Hu Mingle was not doing anything, but Thomas next to him couldn't help but speak first.

"Thomas, although Mr. Doyle's recommendation, investing in a movie is not as simple as open-mouth. I just asked routinely according to the company's rules. The board is in Hu's hands, and maybe he has his own ideas."

Jack, who was very annoyed by the relationship but could not refuse, was really helpless, but he explained further.

After all, Uncle Doyle, which Thomas calls, has to give him face. The other party is an important shareholder of Warner. New Line was acquired by Warner more than a year ago. Although it still maintains an independent production, it no longer has its own distribution rights.

"Okay, hu, it's up to you."

I have to say that Jack's words hit Thomas' weakness. As the other party said, the copyright belongs to Hu Mingle, and only his roommate can make the final and effective decision.

In other words, half of the reason why he has such great enthusiasm for "The God of Death" is that he has "actively participated in the creative process", so he really wants to see the work being revealed in a specific process.

As for his partner, there is no need to say much. He is optimistic about "The God of Death" and thinks that this movie is very successful and will probably be loved by fans who love such films.

Then he could convince Hu Mingle to be a producer or invest. Anyway, if you have the opportunity to make money, I believe no one would think it would be too much.

"Sorry, Mr. Brian, I have no intention of transferring the copyright of the script."

If he didn't make a "cheat", Hu Mingle might really consider disposing of the script and earn a good income.

But even though I knew that the fifth movie had been filmed, even if I couldn't remember the specific box office, the profit results were obviously unquestionable.

In this way, he will naturally no longer do the "killing chickens to get eggs". Keeping the eggs is the right way. If he really uses them to stew the soup one day and make the final use, that is the most correct way to operate.

In addition, a "Uncle Doyle" emerged, as if Hu Mingle had realized something.

I think Thomas is used for the entire holiday in LA, so he should be playing most of the time. It is more likely that "The God of Death is Coming" is just a little purpose.

I don’t know what the other party is. I don’t even talk about spending money so much that the network behind this is not simple.

Of course, if you really want to say that having such a Native American partner can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. No matter how you calculate it, the benefits will be greater than others.

"It's a pity, but it doesn't matter, so I can only follow the plan proposed by Thomas. For this, hu, do you have anything to add?"

Jack, who was originally aiming to try it out for luck, was not very disappointed, and soon confirmed the second plan.

"It's true, Mr. Brian, I want to add some investment amount, $2 million plus script payment, accounting for 15%, and enjoy omni-channel share, box office, DVD, family entertainment, etc."

Hu Mingle, who really had his own demands, threw out his plans without saying a word.

In this regard, before meeting Jack, Thomas had already told him an investment plan, which was about to use the script to make investments, and he could get 3% of the box office of the account afterwards.

It means that for every $100 in the movie "Death is Coming", he can get $3 of it.

Then the account-sharing box office here actually refers to the box office after the total box office is divided by the opening-screening institutions, rather than the net profit share.

After all, Hollywood has many tricks and deep routines. Movies that sell well at box office can also lose money on the books.

The most prominent example is that one of the Harry Potter series, which made several starring actors who were divided into monkeys.

By chance, "Harry Potter" is a project of Warner, and the new line has been acquired by Warner. Thomas also told him that he had to be aware of the lessons from the past.

Otherwise, if Warner made the book profit of only $1 million, wouldn’t he have to get 30,000 yuan? It would be better to sell the script directly.

Putting aside this, he "worked hard" to reproduce the lost "The God of Death", which is only 3% of the total income?

For example, if you calculate the box office of 100 million US dollars, you can only get 3 million.

It sounds like a lot, but it is not so easy to get a total box office of more than 250 million US dollars in the world to finally meet this requirement.

Hu Mingle's memory does not have the impression of the total box office of "The God of Death", so he dare not bet randomly.

Therefore, it is better to increase his investment and share the money through all channels, so that he can make a hundred profits without losing money.

As for where to invest $2 million, Hu Mingle really didn't plan to rely on his family this time. After all, the song "Juliet" has already brought him about 1 million US dollars.

Although he has only received a portion of it, he can temporarily raise funds from Thomas. This guy will also invest in "The God of Death" this time, and the amount is quite large. Maybe there is a father like the Oracle boss behind him, maybe.

Then he also plans to release another single recently, and while the popularity of "Juliet" has not completely disappeared, he will attract another wave of money from American fans.

In this way, he no longer has to worry about the source of funds, nor has he relied on his family, and he was truly independent.

Hu Mingle even made a plan to release a song every once in a while, so that the popularity of the previous song can continue to grow the next song.

Not only can you make money, but you can also continue to increase your popularity until you completely gain a foothold one day.

"NO,NONO,hu, you can negotiate if you want to increase your investment amount, but it is absolutely impossible to divide the omnichannel share. If you insist, I can only think that this time I am traveling to New York."

Unable to guess Hu Mingle's idea, and when Jack heard such a condition, he immediately shook his fat head like a rattle and refused directly.

And I think this Asian is simply too whimsical and wants to divide the entire channel, which is naive, and it is really naive.

If he hadn't been optimistic about the eye-catching creative project "The God of Death" and the relationship between Thomas, he really wanted to get up and leave, so he had the time to argue here.

"I'll just say that no matter what the conditions of both parties are, we can discuss it slowly, hu, Mr. Brian, what do you think?"

At the right time, Thomas immediately stood up as a blender.

"Okay, but the 15% share ratio is too high. Even if it is calculated at a cost of 20 million, it is impossible to get such a high proportion, at most 13%.

"It is also impossible to have omnichannel channels. You can only share the box office share, and there is no possibility of much negotiation."

Before he had no choice, Jack was unwilling to give up "The God of Death", so after a little consideration, he offered his own conditions.
