v2 Chapter 298: Internet copyright

"Shaw," Shaw's second wife, Fang Yihua, was full of surprises. She walked over and couldn't help but said excitedly, "There are many senior management and artists in the company who were planning to change jobs, but now they watch the news on Asia TV. They all stayed at the press conference again!"

Run Run Run nodded faintly to her when he heard the words!

ATV did help Shaw Films a lot, otherwise, Shaw Films might fall apart! With the massive loss of talents, the decline of Shaw Films will become inevitable!

"Yi Fu, the people from Star Media are here, they are coming to buy our film rights!" Fang Yihua walked to Shaw and said softly. 【Full text reading...】

There was no expression on Shaw's face, and he nodded faintly.

Fang Yihua looked at him quietly. The Hong Kong tycoon who used to gallop in film and television and covered the sky with one hand, now his head is full of gray hair and looks a little lonely! Even so, the majesty of an unusual person still exists between the eyebrows.

One minute passed.

Five minutes passed...

Run Run Run Shaw did not speak for a long time, but the people from Star Media were still outside waiting for a reply. Fang Yihua had to give them an explanation. When she was about to ask Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Shaw, Run Run Run Shaw raised her head, sighed slightly, and immediately glanced at Fang Yihua. , Said: "Go and tell the people in Star Media that the Shaw Film Company's film rights will not be sold to them!"

Fang Yihua was startled and looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you already think about selling the movie rights to them?"

"I changed my mind!" Run Run Run faintly said, "You help me contact Asia Television and say that I want to talk to them about film copyright!"

Fang Yihua has been with Run Run Shaw for many years, helping him with his business, and is a right-hand man. Except for some surprises at first, he calmed down afterwards.

"Okay!" Fang Yihua replied softly, "Then I will send the people from Star Media away now, and then contact ATV!"

"Ok!"

Run Run Run nodded, and when Fang Yihua left the room, he walked to a reclining chair and sat down. Then he took out an iron box containing a cigar from his pocket! Run Run Shaw took one out of it and leaned close to his nose and sniffed... the scent of a Cuban cigar filled his mind.

Run Run Run was very old and had rarely smoked. But he still lit his cigar today and took a deep sip! He closed his eyes slightly and leaned back on the recliner, amid the hazy smell of cigar and smoke. Unconsciously recall the prosperous years of my youth...

ATV never expected that Run Run would be willing to sell the film rights to himself, and then hurriedly sent someone to contact Run Run. After a week of negotiations, Run Run Shaw finally accepted the sale of the permanent film rights of Shaw Films at a price of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, but this copyright only belongs to TV!

As a TV company, ATV is willing to sell the permanent copyright of TV movies to ATV. It's reasonable. However, if they are forced to sell their network copyrights to ATV, then it seems that ATV has a feeling of overwhelming people!

There is no need for ATV to have such a strained relationship with Hong Kong film companies!

Internet piracy is rampant in Hong Kong. As for mainland China, piracy is even more rampant. Can you still count on these movies to make money online? Film network copyrights are as worthless as waste paper. Realwork can buy them. ATV can contact them. Presumably those film companies are very willing to sell network copyrights!

Sure enough, when ATV helped introduce the realwork company to buy the online copyright of the movie. The film companies accepted one by one and expressed their willingness to sell the copyright. The representative of realwork said that for movies with a box office of between 1 million and 2 million Hong Kong dollars, they will acquire the perpetual network rights of the movie at a price of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per movie. After that, for every 1 million increase in the box office, the purchase price of film rights increased by 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. If the box office is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, there should be 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in copyright fees!

And if the box office is less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, then the unified purchase price is 500 Hong Kong dollars.

At present, Shaw Films has the most film sources. They have more than 700 films. The movies from other film companies are pitiful. Few can exceed a hundred!

The &nbork company spent a whole week buying the permanent copyright of the film network in Hong Kong, spending a total of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, almost all Hong Kong movies! Later, he signed a five-year contract with them, within five years. Realwork can still purchase the permanent copyright of the film network in the previous way, but the price will be increased by 10%. However, at the end of the contract, it is pointed out that realwork also has the right not to purchase the copyright!

&nbork has obtained the copyright of so many Hong Kong film networks, and it will be beneficial to enter China Internet in the future. and. There are still a lot of Chinese in the United States and Europe. Hong Kong movies can definitely attract them. This alone is not a loss!

With so many movie rights, the reayer client then opened a new feature "Hong Kong Movie Zone", which is full of Hong Kong movies, but with subtitles!

Henry found that after realwork purchased the copyright of the Hong Kong Film Network, it actually played a very important role in promoting Hong Kong culture and even its transformation. Many foreigners abroad will go to Hong Kong movies because of their curiosity, which has promoted hua!

Especially at this stage, the quality of Hong Kong movies is good, and many classics have been shot, even if they go abroad, they are still very marketable!

Perhaps foreigners have watched more Hong Kong movies and opened up the American market when they might be able to make money in the United States than in Hong Kong, which is a small place to earn Hong Kong dollars. It is much better and more profitable! The box office of US$10 million is nearly 100 million in Hong Kong dollars, so you can crush all the movies in Hong Kong at will! However, the box office of 10 million US dollars is not uncommon in the United States, and it can even be said to be a very bad box office in many cases!

Therefore, countless Hong Kong movie stars rushed to the United States, even if they broke their blood, even if the identity of the Hong Kong superstar elder brother was reduced to a small supporting role in the United States, he was willing!

In this life, with Henry's help and reayer to promote Hong Kong films online, it will be easier for Hong Kong artists to enter the United States.

After all the good things are done, Henry came to the Galaxy Film Company and ordered Bobby Robin to select some outstanding Hong Kong films to be distributed in the United States in the future. It doesn't matter if you earn more and earn less, Henry doesn't lack this little money!

After it was over, Henry visited the company.

DreamWorks has been established and has successfully joined the Galaxy Film Company! Although David Geffen did not agree at first, Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg both agreed, and he had no choice but to agree. Finally, after negotiation, Galaxy Films invested 70 million U.S. dollars, Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg each invested 10 million U.S. dollars, holding 70% and 10% of the shares respectively. 10%, 10%.

In addition, Weta Studio has also been acquired by Galaxy Films 70% of the shares, but the studio's headquarters is still in New Zealand. At first, Peter Jackson, the founder of Weta Studios, was unwilling to sell the company, but Galaxy Films stated that if Peter Jackson agreed to ~lightnovelpub.net~The Lord of the Rings movie series would be handed over to him for shooting .

Peter Jackson is an outstanding director and a huge fan of "The Lord of the Rings". His biggest wish is to make a "Lord of the Rings" movie. Now the opportunity has come, and he almost jumps up with excitement. He immediately stated that as long as I was asked to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", I would agree to the Galaxy Film Company's admission to Weta Studios! ! !

Bobby Robin is worried about Peter Jackson, because Peter Jackson is a new director. But if the "Lord of the Rings" movie is not handed over to Peter Jackson for shooting, Henry will not be at ease! Such a magnificent, epic film is beyond the reach of ordinary directors. Peter Jackson is a genius in the field of directors, he has an innate ability in this regard! He proved himself in his previous life, and Henry was a hundred at ease with him!

Bobby Robin dared not violate Henry's decision. In the end, Galaxy Films invested 10 million US dollars in Weta Studios, holding 70% of the shares, but the contract specifically stated that the director of the "Lord of the Rings" movie is Peter Jackson...
