Hotel entrance.

Under the leadership of Yu Dong, Fang Ziheng and others met with Deng Wendi, the overseas publisher of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Along with him, there is Jiang Zhiqiang, the president of Anle Pictures.

"Hello, Ms. Deng Wendi."

Fang Ziheng took two steps forward, gently hugged Deng Wendi shoulder to shoulder, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhiqiang, smiling and saying: "Mr. Jiang, we meet again. Thank you and Ms. Deng for your support and help in "Edge of Tomorrow"."

"Director Fang is too modest. I would like to congratulate you. "Edge of Tomorrow" is a good movie and deserves to be recommended to audiences around the world."

Jiang Zhiqiang was in high spirits. While praising, he put his hands up and gave Fang Ziheng a firm shake.

Yu Dong and Deng Wendi exchanged a few words, then laughed out loud and said: "Director Fang, let's talk inside."

"That's okay. I just got off the plane and I'm still a little hungry."

Fang Ziheng nodded lightly, and the guests did as they pleased.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the group of people came to the banquet hall on the second floor.

The door opened, and there were dozens of people gathered in the banquet hall, including a few Chinese colleagues who worked hard in the Hollywood film industry, and the rest were all whites and blacks.

"Papa pa pa"

"Papa pa pa"

When Fang Ziheng walked into the door with Andy, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and Hu Jun, there was warm applause in the banquet hall.

The creator of "Edge of Tomorrow" was welcomed by outsiders abroad for the first time.

Although this banquet was very small, it was specially organized by Deng Wendi.

Fang Ziheng returned the favor, and under Jiang Zhiqiang's introduction, he got to know some important people one by one.

As the overseas promoter of Li An and Lao Mouzi's films, Jiang Zhiqiang has a very good network of contacts in Hollywood. Almost all the eight major film giants have many acquaintances.

The Chinese present were also full of curiosity about Fang Ziheng, with a somewhat acquaintance attitude.

Hollywood is very realistic and only cares about the same interests.

Having been together in Hollywood for many years, this group of Chinese people naturally learned the essence of it.

In their view, Fang Ziheng has been able to produce movies that are popular around the world, and his status is no less than that of Lao Mouzi who went abroad, and Li An who is trying to make a comeback.

Fang Ziheng had a calm attitude, with a faint smile, and greeted him without humility or saying a word.

Time passed and the banquet was halfway through.

Fang Ziheng, Andy, Deng Wendi, and Jiang Zhiqiang left the crowd and came to a small conference room.

Yu Dong led Liu Ye and others to the mainland bridge, chatting with people in the banquet hall about Chinese movies and overseas exports.

"Director Fang, 20th Century Fox Film Company wants to purchase the full copyright contract for TV on-demand, digital broadcast, home theater DVD, peripheral toys, etc. in North America for "Edge of Tomorrow."

Jiang Zhiqiang took a stack of documents from his assistant, handed it to Andy, and looked at Fang Ziheng.

"As long as the price is right, I am very willing to cooperate with Fox again."

Fang Ziheng smiled softly, took out a cigarette and handed it to Deng Wendi, who was smiling without saying a word, indicating that she would make an offer first.

If the other party did something like this today, it is very likely that they want to lower the price.

Full copyright is really profitable in the United States, and it's the kind that makes a lot of money.

Not counting the overseas box office revenue of "The Big Four," 20th Century Fox earned no less than $30 million from the sale of peripheral rights in North America alone.

30 million!

You know, at that time Deng Wendi bought all the overseas copyrights for 20 million.

Including the box office revenue of "The Big Four," 20th Century Fox earned at least US$70 million in net profit.

However, "Edge of Tomorrow" was signed for a share, and 20th Century Fox Film Company, as the overseas distributor, accounted for 15% of the distribution ratio.

Without the box office split, Deng Wendi naturally wants to win the North American peripheral rights of "Edge of Tomorrow".

This time period is when the North American film market is at its peak.

The ratio of movie box office to TV broadcasts, home theater DVDs, digital broadcasts, and toy peripherals is roughly 1:0.4 to 0.45.

Of course, for very popular movies such as "Avatar" and "Transformers", the proportion will be relatively higher, and the revenue from the sale of copyrights once reached two or three times the box office.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has been in theaters for 17 days, and its total box office in North America exceeded US$120 million.

It dropped 30% in the third week, without a big plunge, and is expected to have a box office of US$25 million.

However, as a foreigner, "Edge of Tomorrow" cannot be released for six weeks like local movies.

It will take about 30 days at most to start painting!

As a result, the total North American box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" may fall to US$155 million to US$160 million.

According to the share ratio signed between 20th Century Fox and theater chains, "Edge of Tomorrow" can earn 50% of the total box office revenue.

Taking the minimum of 150 million, there must be 65 million US dollars for copyright peripherals.

65 million refers to the total revenue from the copyrights that can be sold. Fang Ziheng has no channels in the United States and can only rely on 20th Century Fox.

Based on a 20% channel fee, the net income obtained is US$52 million.

Fang Ziheng doesn't like to eat alone. His psychological price range is US$35 million to US$40 million, and the profit margin is US$12 million to US$17 million.

At this price, neither party will suffer!

Hengyu Media can realize funds promptly by selling copyrights, and 20th Century Fox can earn at least US$25 million from a resale by collecting channel fees and Fang Ziheng's profit sharing.

This is still calculated based on the minimum profit ratio, and the actual profit will only be higher.

If the publicity is in place and the operation is good, it can easily exceed the copyright profit of "The Four Famous Catchers", and it is possible to reach 50 million US dollars.

Of course, it is impossible to get the profits back in one go. TV on demand, DVDs, and toy guns are all long-term and continuous transactions.

"Director Fang, "Edge of Tomorrow" is a rare and good movie. I won't be fooled. It costs 20 million U.S. dollars and has full online and offline rights in the Americas!"

Deng Wendi made a faint sound and raised two fingers with a confident look on his face.

Finished.

She didn't wait for Fang Ziheng to refuse, pointed at the document in Andy's hand, raised a smile and said again: "If Director Fang is willing to sell the full overseas copyright of the film, the price will be even higher, I promise not to disappoint Director Fang!"

"

The full overseas copyright she refers to here refers to the overseas global copyright fees after the movie is released, not just North America.

As the leading film giant in Hollywood, and relying on the giant Buddha of News Corporation, Twentieth Century Fox is fully capable of spreading channels to countries around North America and reselling movies to countries in Europe, Africa, and Australia.

The most important reason why Chinese-language films in the early years could sell overseas copyrights, apart from foreigners eating costume films and kung fu films, is that Hollywood film giants are indeed capable of selling various copyrights of films to countries all over the world.

Full overseas copyright!

Fang Ziheng smiled and could not deny Deng Wendi's words.

The ambition and courage of this 'legendary woman' are indeed extraordinary. It's really easy to deal with someone like this!

To be honest, he really hopes that the other party can become the helmsman of 20th Century Fox, or even become the core executive of News Corporation.

If this is true, at least there will be another way for Chinese-language films to be exported overseas in the future.

Um..

I need to have a good talk with Director Han about this when I get back!

Thinking of this, Fang Ziheng raised a hand, stretched out his fingers and made a fist: "One price, 50 million U.S. dollars, full overseas copyright fees!"

His voice was low, but his tone was very firm. His eyes were focused on Deng Wendi across the conference table, confident and charming.

quiet..

very quiet.

No one was talking in the conference room. Andy lowered his eyes and carefully read the legal documents on the documents.

She has no worries about Fang Ziheng.

As long as it's about movies, she won't interrupt.

Across the conference table, Deng Wendi silently lit the cigarette that Fang Ziheng had just handed over, lost in thinking and calculation.

Fifty million U.S. dollars is not a small amount, and she needs to reassess the profit ratio.

Jiang Zhiqiang twisted his neck and looked at Fang Ziheng with surprised eyes.

Young man, you really dare to raise a price, you look even more aggressive than Wang Zhongjun back then!

Fang Ziheng flicked the ashes from his cigarette and smiled at Jiang Zhiqiang.

There's nothing he wouldn't dare to buy, and the price isn't high in the first place.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is not "Famous" and it won't sell many toys. The alien fighter planes, battleships, and exoskeleton robots in the movie will definitely become best-sellers overseas.

a long time.

A smile appeared on Deng Wendi's calm face. She didn't respond to Fang Ziheng's offer, but instead asked another question.
