The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 361: 1 shot 2 scatters

Lan Li's answer was neither humble nor overbearing, he hid the needle in the cotton, and completed a powerful counterattack in a quiet time. He gave Harvey an invisible slap and used Harvey's words to refute Harvey. This trick is really clever.

As a reference, the North American distribution rights of "Blue Valentine's Day" are held by Weinstein Pictures for US$6 million; "Growth Education" is won by Sony Classics for US$4.5 million.

Of course, different movies, in different years, and on different occasions, the transaction price of the final distribution rights are different. However, Harvey just kept saying that the height of "Love Is Crazy" is no less than that of "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Growth Education". In contrast, "Love Is Crazy" has a copyright buyout of 1.5 million US dollars. Fee, it sounds like a joke.

In fact, the two films "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Growth Education" are not buyouts, but are divided. Although the proportions are not high, the crew can reap more profits from the North American box office.

The reason is very simple. It is not that these distribution companies are showing kindness, but because these independent artistic films are too difficult to make a profit. Most of the crews have to make a film, and they will eventually lose money. This will form a vicious Circulation, fewer and fewer people are willing to concentrate on making art films.

For reasons of long-term flow, issuing companies are generally slightly more generous. This is an industry rule.

If you choose to buy out, the price will generally be relatively high, which will not only cover the cost of the movie, but will also leave some credits to ensure that the crew can achieve a small profit. Therefore, Sundance or Toronto occasionally broke the news and the distribution rights transaction amount As high as ten million, or more, this is the case.

If you choose to split, the price will be slightly lower. It is normal to hover around 5 million. However, considering the works of Sundance, the cost is generally relatively low, so it will generally fluctuate around 3 million. Correspondingly, the distribution company will set aside a share of 25% to 45%. As to whether it can make a profit, it depends on the performance of the movie.

In fact, this is a win-win situation. For distribution companies, they can reduce some risks and avoid exhaustion, especially in terms of sharing. The distribution copyright price is controlled within the effective range, and the burden of the box office is also divided among the independent crews, which allows them to invest more. Many independent movies, don’t put eggs in one basket.

Of course, for independent crews, their works have been appreciated and profitable. At the same time, they have attracted the attention of large production companies, paving the way for future development. Sundance is also known as the best springboard for "commercial blockbuster directors."

The reason why Harvey lowered the price was actually just bullying Drake and Renly, two novices, and didn't understand the way.

The US$1.5 million distribution copyright is actually a reasonable price for an independent Sundance film, if you do not refer to "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Growth Education".

If Harvey can win "Crazy Love" at such a price, it means that his spare funds can compete for more works in Sundance and cast a larger fishing net.

However, Lan Li knew nothing about these corners, and he was not interested in understanding. Strictly speaking, he didn't even know the transaction price of "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Growth Education", and even the transaction price of "Buried Alive" in Toronto last year, he had already forgotten. He is just an actor, a pure actor.

The reason why Lanly was able to make an accurate judgment is because after receiving the invitation from the Weinstein brothers, Andy reminded him that according to Sundance's pattern this year, especially referring to the current trend of "Love Is Crazy" , The final transaction price of the copyright is definitely not less than 3 million, and the most ideal range should be 4 to 4.5 million.

Of course, this is the share price.

If it is a buyout, Andy estimates that the price should be around 7 million, and 6 million is barely acceptable.

Therefore, when Harvey proposed a buyout price of 1.5 million yuan, Lan Li was watching a good show next to him.

Although it is natural for Harvey to push down the price in business talks, the price is too heavy; moreover, Harvey is also taking orders for granted.

For Harvey, "Crazy Love" is just one of the countless works of the Sundance Film Festival, and it is just an ordinary one, or it is a chess piece in the layout of this year's awards season. There is nothing wrong with his attitude.

But Lanly knows that for Drake, "Love Is Crazy" is more than just a movie.

So, the scene just now appeared.

Lan Li's seemingly simple sentence concealed too many mysteries, and immediately completely disrupted Harvey's chess game.

Harvey is a smart man, a top smart man, but the biggest weakness of a smart man is that he always complicates simple things and always deepens the superficial things. When he looked at Lan Li again, Harvey's eyes became deeper. He underestimated Lan Li. This young man, who was only 21 years old, was obviously not that simple.

"So, what's the number in your mind?" Harvey's panic was just a flash, and he calmed down between breathing and breathing, smiling authentically, as if willingly surrendered the initiative.

Drake felt that the thinking speed of his head could no longer keep up, and he looked at Harvey dumbfounded: What does this sentence mean? Do they make any price? So if they drive 10 million, will Harvey just change his face?

But Lan Li's answer surprised Drake even more, "One and a half million, that's good."

This...what's the answer? Drake cast a suspicious look at Lan Li. If you are satisfied with 1.5 million, Harvey has just proposed it, and they nodded and agreed. What is the purpose of the subsequent confrontation? If not satisfied, Lan Li repeats the number again. What does it mean?

Slap in the face?

Harvey's cheeks are indeed hot, not because of Lan Li's counterattack, but because of his underestimation of Lan Li. When he asked Lan Li to make a price, he was actually testing Lan Li's bottom line; however, Lan Li didn't buy it at all, and understood that it was 1.5 million. This time, instead, he was pushed into a passive position that was not embarrassing or awkward.

If he is now 1.5 million, it would be equivalent to slap in the face of the "Blue Valentine's Day" distribution rights but 6 million; if his number is too high, it means that his hole cards have been exposed, too. If it is low, it will fall into the embarrassing situation of bargaining in the vegetable market.

Lan Li's seemingly random move is not only ironic, but also makes Harvey passive. This guy is... rude.

"I thought you were just an actor. Now it seems that you have a good talent for comedy, and your words are so funny and humorous." Who is Harvey, how can he be a big mess? It was just caught off guard by Lan Li, but he quickly calmed down. It was just that Lan Li's assessment needed some adjustments.

"4.5 million, buy it at a price." Harvey made a measure in his mind and gave the price, which not only expressed his sincerity, but also maximized his own interests as much as possible.

Of course, the more important thing is to create a new "bomb" and triple the transaction price in one go. This shock is incomparable.

It's like at an auction, when the price is increased by one hundred thousand dollars and one hundred thousand dollars, suddenly someone adds two million in one go, which is enough to make others retreat. Even if the real price of the auction item may be 5 million, this kind of overweight is likely to be sold at a price far below 5 million.

Drake was completely dumbfounded at this time. The price of 4.5 million yuan directly caused his head to crash, and he felt that he could not turn the corner. Such a transaction price is very rare even in previous Sundance Film Festivals. Now it was thrown directly in front of his eyes, as if a gold brick had been smashed from the sky, and he was directly dizzy.

In the face of Harvey’s anger, Lan Li also showed his decisiveness. "Mr. Weinstein, I think the meeting today is full of sincerity. But obviously, you just take "Love Crazy" as one. A dispensable investment is like casting a big fish in a net. It seems that this fish is still fat, so I will check it out first."

Lan Li didn't like this kind of occasion, and kept calculating for some petty profits. Since Harvey has shown his so-called sincerity~lightnovelpub.net~, he doesn't mind opening the skylight to speak.

I saw that Lan Li showed a sincere smile, "Why don't we go back and think about it again. You think about whether this fish is worth more investment; let's consider whether or not to go to this one." Fishing boat."

Harvey looked at Lan Li seriously. For the first time since meeting today, he tried to catch the wise and sharp light in Lan Li's eyes, but he failed. He actually failed!

The Lan Li in front of him looked so calm and calm, that understatement did not have any sharpness at all, not even the slightest fluctuation, as if he was just discussing how the weather is today. This calmness, calmness and grandeur is even more terrifying than ingenuity, showing a calmness that is totally incompatible with age.

Harvey couldn't believe it, he actually looked away. At this time, I thought about it carefully. The two sentences Lan Li said at the beginning of the game were obviously not a coincidence, he meant something. In this confrontation, Lan Li was fully prepared, but he didn't know anything about this newcomer, which led to the defeat.

It's rare, it's really rare.

"Why, are you dissatisfied with this number?" Harvey became really interested in the actor, Renly, and asked the same question for the second time.

"Heh." Lan Li chuckled lightly, and a gleam of light flashed through those dark brown eyes, "No, I'm not satisfied." Such a direct answer successfully made Harvey's eyebrows lightly raised, and then Laughed. Lan Li continued, "Because I don't think "Love Crazy" is another "Growth Education"."

Harvey nodded indifferently, and sighed with a smile, "Maybe it's not."

What does it mean? Is it... two shots? ()
