Chapter 160 The Golden Jade Alliance

It should be a chat with a friend in my previous life. During that time, a movie called "Beijing Meets Seattle" was released. The two chatted about the movie casually, and finally started to trace it back as they talked. Finally, they found that many movies such as "Grey Garden", "Sleeping in the Seattle Night", and "Love Story" were inspired by the famous "Golden and Jade League" by Cary Grant and Deborah Cole.

Of course, this is not the point. What Eric thought of was that the friend mentioned by chance that it seemed that the popularity of "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" led to the popularity of "Jinyu League" videotape, and 2 million boxes were sold in a short period of time. This was a surprise fortune for the copyrighted film company.

"Golden and Jade League" is an old movie forty years ago. Although the two starring actors were Hollywood superstars at the time, it has been so long, and this movie is not as capable of shooting sequels as movies like 007, so it has no commercial value anymore. Perhaps one or two million can buy out all copyrights of the movie. Moreover, Eric considers that he will definitely obtain some authorization from the copyright holder of "Golden and Jade League" in the future. After the other party learned about this, it is difficult to guarantee that he would not set aside the price. It is better to buy all copyrights now.

Seeing Eric remembering something slightly excited, the girl couldn't help but scratch Eric's chest and asked hurriedly: "Eric, is there any good movie suitable for me? Tell me quickly?"

"There is no movie, but if you want to make some money, there is a good chance," Eric picked up a pen and wrote the name of the movie "Jinyu League" on paper: "Do you know this movie?"

Drew opened his eyes wide and shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

Eric could only explain patiently, "Then you always remember that I told you about my next movie, right?"

The girl whispered to the location of Nicole's room outside the study: "Of course."

"In the setting of that movie, the heroine Anne likes to watch "Jinyu League". I think if "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" is released, the sales of "Jinyu League" will definitely increase significantly. So, if you want to make money, you can use the time during the holiday to find a way to buy all the copyrights of this movie. This is an old movie from 40 years ago. As long as the price is right, the film company will definitely be willing to sell it."

Drew had a blind trust in Eric. If Eric told others like this, the other party would probably have doubts. However, Drew did not have any doubts about this and asked, "But, I bought it, where will I release the video?"

"Firefly will start to establish its own distribution channels, including videotape channels in recent times," Eric said, thinking of "Home Imperial" and the three movie contracts signed to Fox, and a hint of helplessness and regret.

At the beginning, he was alone and had just started out, and he was not considering many things too thoroughly. Therefore, when signing the agreement, he handed over the copyrights of surrounding film and television such as movie tapes and TV broadcast rights to Fox. Fireflies could only wait for the share. Although it looked good, many movies produced by independent film companies did not even have the qualifications to share the share, and they usually only bought out at a price, and he could still enjoy the share share. However, compared to publishing by himself, handing over the agency rights to Fox would be a waste of a lot of money. After all, after going through the release process, the fame and reputation of the movie have been determined. If you can have your own video tape distribution channel, then even if it is not as comprehensive as that of a large company, the profits you can get are still much more than the share you get after being cut off a large piece of cake by the giants.

Moreover, through this period of understanding, small companies with distribution capabilities, even if they hand over the distribution rights of their movies to those film giants, will not usually transfer peripheral copyrights such as videotapes. As the proportion of the movie's peripheral income to the total movie's revenue becomes larger and larger, the income from these peripheral copyrights is likely to support an important source of funds for a second- and third-tier film company. If those second- and third-tier film companies have good film and television resources in the film library, the peripheral income obtained from it every year can support the daily operations of the film company without repeatedly drawing funds from box office income or investors. As long as there is no huge loss in investment, these film companies can survive.

Therefore, Eric is also eager to establish his own distribution channel as soon as possible. The next three movies, "Far Crying the Island", "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women" and "Steel Magnolia", and "Friends" will definitely not be given up.

"But, Eric, I have no money." Drew blinked his eyes and looked at Eric like a fairy.

Eric couldn't help pinching the girl's white and tender face: "Don't you have a card? Just brush it casually, and you will make a profit..." At this point, Eric paused for a moment, remembering the Westerners' statement that there was no dowry, so he could only change his words: "If you make a profit, you will make a profit, you will make a profit, and if you will make a profit, I will make a profit, I will make a profit."

"Then I'll do it," Drew leaned over his face and rubbed Eric's face. His little mouth was about to bite Eric's lips, but he was still blocked by a big hand, so he stretched out his small tongue and licked Eric's palm without any attention.

"You must have been a cat in your previous life, and you like to lick people's palms so much." Eric pulled the girl off his legs: "Okay, now you have something to do and money to make money. You can go to bed."

"Eric, you haven't slept with me in a long time," the girl said with a resentful look on her face.

"I am a law-abiding citizen," Eric reached out and pushed the girl in the direction of the door with a look of disgust. "And there are outsiders here."

When Drew heard the word "outsider", he seemed to be very happy. He rushed over and kissed Eric in the face before leaving.

Eric smiled and shook his head when he looked at the closed study door, turning his attention to the monitor to start the ending work of "Friends" script. Barry Diller personally called and reminded Eric to pay attention to the shooting process of "Friends". Although American dramas were filmed and "Friends" were no exception, it is almost August, and the TV series will be broadcast in September, and Eric has only one month left.

"Eric, this is today's newspaper," Early the next morning, Eric took a shower and returned to the living room after a routine exercise. Nicole thoughtfully placed the newspaper on the coffee table in front of Eric.

"Thank you, Nicole." Eric admired the pink maid outfit the girl had newly changed into with interest, then picked up the newspaper and read it. Nicole also returned to the kitchen to be busy again.

A moment later, Eric saw the name of a movie in the newspaper. The movie happened to be released in Columbia. Unexpectedly, the results were pretty good. Moreover, the name was "When Harry Meets Sally", starring Billy Cristo who hosted many Oscars, and Meg Ryan, the original heroine of "Sleeping in Seattle".

Eric still likes this actress with a sweet smile, but it seems that the other person's career is very bumpy. In summary, it may be considered that this sweetheart has a very poor film selection. The two movies that seem to be more successful are all collaborated with Tom Hanks, one is "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" and the other is "Electronic Love Letter" a few years later. No other excellent works are available.

The reason why she has a bad vision is that this sweetheart has passed by a series of big-name movies, which seems very magical. Since the 1990s, she has rejected "The Pretty Beauty", "The Love of Man and Ghost", and even refused "Instinct" to let the nameless Sharon Stone soar into the sky. Of course, the reason is that she refused to take it off. However, after the new century, in order to transform, she took off without any scruples, and wanted to imitate the success of "Instinct", and participated in a similar genre "Nude Cutting". Unfortunately, this movie did not have the same good luck as "Instinct" back then, and directly rushed to Java.

Looking at the box office data of "When Harry Meets Sally" in the newspaper, it is estimated that this sweetheart will become popular. Because of Eric, Hollywood's history has deviated greatly. I don't know if this sweetheart will still be unlucky in this time and space.

"Nicole, can I come here?" Eric looked at the newspaper "When Harry Meets Sally" and remembered the image of the other person in "Sleeping in Seattle" in his memory, so he called out the girl who was busy in the kitchen.

"Is there anything wrong?" Nicole quickly walked out, holding a small shovel in his hand.

"Well, forget it, you can do it first, and then chat after breakfast."

"Oh," the girl turned around and walked back inexplicably.

On the dining table, Drew finished breakfast snoringly, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and then hurriedly got up to walk out.

"Come back, sit down and drink the milk," Eric pointed at the leftover milk and glared at the girl: "You are in a hurry to go back to Mars, so hurry up."

The girl reluctantly sat back on the chair and explained, "I'm going to find someone to buy the copyright of that movie."

"Enjoy breakfast," Eric repeated ignoring Drew's explanation.

"Hmph," the girl twitched her nose, picked up the milk and tilted it down a few times: "This is OK."

"Okay, go crazy."
