Chapter 517 Hollywood ushered in the peak investment period
Berkeley Pictures, President's Office.
Jack asked the secretary for a cup of hot coffee, then turned to look at Ye Xinghui and the other two, and smiled and said, "What are you going to do? I have some coffee, milk tea, and even some tea leaves on the Tang Dynasty!"
"Just want a cup of coffee and add some sugar!" said Ye Xinghui.
"So we!"
Chen Xiaofei and Zhao Qiaoqiao also chose coffee.
"OK, Lisa gave us three guests a cup of coffee"
Jack gave an order, and at the same time he was calculating. The three people in front of him were obviously centered on Ye Xinghui, so he began to look at Ye Xinghui.
Lisa's movements were fast, and within a short while, the hot coffee was placed in front of them.
"Mr. Ye, I invited the three of you today to discuss with you whether the copyright of "Resident Evil" can be sold to Berkeley Pictures!" After Jack said that, he was afraid that Ye Xinghui would be dissatisfied, and added: "Money is not a problem!"
He didn't beat around the bush, everyone was smart, and there was no need to go around the curve.
"Sorry, I have no intention of selling the copyright of Resident Evil."
Ye Xinghui refused.
Sure enough? Jack was a little regretful, but when he thought of the potential of "Resident Evil" like a gold mine, he could understand that Ye Xinghui did not consider selling copyrights. After all, the copyright was in hand, and the director and the main creators were all from Xinghui Pictures, so there was no need to sell them at all.
"Well, I'll let Danny take you around in Los Angeles later!"
There was a faint loss in Jack's words.
"Jack, I don't know if you have considered cooperation!" Ye Xinghui said with a smile.
"cooperate?"
Jack raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "Which aspect, let me tell you!"
The market of Berkeley Pictures in the United States is in the imperial examination and Starlight Pictures in the Tang Dynasty is completely different, which makes Jack a little confused for a moment.
"We can cooperate in all aspects of film distribution, actor exchange, etc.." Ye Xinghui paused, looked up at Jack, and saw that he was listening carefully, and continued: "For example, if Bai Kaili shoots a movie and is released in Datang, Xinghui Pictures can take charge of the distribution work, and the same is true for Star Hui Pictures. As long as we have a movie that wants to be released in the United States, Bai Kaili will be responsible for a series of distribution issues such as arranging the release schedule!"
Jack's eyes lit up. Seeing Ye Xinghui talking loudly, he felt that there was a lot of potential in his heart, but he had a strange feeling. There are few movies released by Berkeley Pictures in a year. As far as he knows, it seems that only three movies have been filmed and produced in total?
"Mr. Ye, don't you think your film industry is at a disadvantage? You have to know that we are Berkeley!" Jack reminded him.
At a loss?
Doesn't exist!
If Ye Xinghui had not made a complete decision before, then what he saw and heard along the way in Los Angeles, the center of the American imperial film, made him completely determined that Star Hui Pictures will produce at least two movies a year in the future, one of which must be at the blockbuster level.
Of course, he naturally wouldn't say that now!
"Jack, as long as you are willing to cooperate with our Xinghui Pictures, then the release of Guizhou Pictures in Datang is nothing, as long as you prepare the distribution fee!" Ye Xinghui laughed.
“How much does it cost?”
Generally, Hollywood movies are distributed abroad and pay them about 7% to 1% of the box office to the publisher, so Jack is still more concerned about this aspect.
Ye Xinghui said lightly: "7%, Bai Kaili only needs to pay 7% of the issuance fee!"
"So low?"
Jack was shocked. This was the lowest commission, right?
"Don't be anxious!" Ye Xinghui said again: "I hope that the films of Star Hui Film will be arranged in the same way as the same as the original intention of cooperation. After all, if everything is talking about money in the light of a businessman's attitude, then cooperation will lose its meaning!"
"This is fine. Mutual benefit is the theme of cooperation, but I have to make it clear that my term of office is still two years. In two years, President Ye will need to discuss with the next president whether to continue to cooperate!"
Jack did not hide anything, and this cooperation was obviously advantageous, so in any aspect, he had to remind Ye Xinghui in front of him.
"Jack, happy cooperation!" Ye Xinghui smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Happy cooperation!" Jack also laughed.
The two film companies formally signed an oral agreement.
......
Times Pioneer Pictures.
President Johnny was looking at a document handed over by his secretary, but it was obvious that he was a little absent-minded, glanced at the information lightly, and put it on the table.
"What do you think that old guy Jack wants to do?"
Johnny looked at the secretary.
"I think he might want to take the copyright of Resident Evil." Secretary Olivia said bluntly, and there was no second explanation in her opinion.
"Want copyright?"
Hearing this, Johnny was stunned for a moment, then said coldly: "Hmph, this old guy is almost retired and still has a delusion!"
Johnny was not optimistic about this approach. After all, no one would foolishly sell gold mines. The information about Ye Xinghui in his hands also showed that this young man was simply a person who likes to eat alone. It is impossible to let him sell copyright!
He said that, but he felt a little awkward when he thought that Jack of Berkeley actually invited Ye Xinghui and his group first.
Olivia was silent, and she also believed that there was no possibility of success.
"Forget it, let's not mention him. How are the Wall Street happening recently? Are the major consortiums over there sure to join?"
Johnny asked instead.
With the blessing of "Resident Evil", many major consortiums on Wall Street have seen the prospects of the movie and planned to make related investments, but the discussion stage has just begun.
"The Heisenberg Consortium confirmed that it could inject capital, but they requested to acquire 0% of the equity!"
"The Wilson Consortium is more optimistic about Paradise Zhongming Pictures!"
"The other major consortiums have also come to inquire, but they are probably similar to the Heisenberg consortium and are all eager for shares!"
Olivia said slowly.
Johnny frowned. Although he was the president, his shares were less than 10%. If a large consortium wanted to acquire 0% of the shares, he might have a sharp decline in his hands. Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable.
"Forget it, since you all want to participate, then hand the report to the board of directors and let those old guys get nervous!"
"clear!"
The presidents of the four major films, HPton, DeBerya, Paradise Bell, and Berkeley, have also received news from Wall Street.
Just when Ye Xinghui and others were still traveling around Los Angeles, several major consortiums on Wall Street took action to make strong investments in Hollywood, led by the five major films.
And this will also set off a revolution in the film industry.
