In any case, Paramount is one of the eight major Hollywood movie giants, and Wanhe Tianyi is just a second-rate film company that is still growing.
Compared with Liu Ji and them, Liu Hao was much calmer, and he was not overly excited because of Paramount's cooperation, hearing John's words, he nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Of course, we can discuss the specific details of cooperation now." ” "That's great, such an excellent movie, if it can be handed over to Paramount for distribution, I can't find a reason to refuse, if your company's future films can also achieve this effect, I can assure Mr.
Liu that all the films of Wanhe Tianyi will be released for free, including the publicity and large-scale promotion of the film, and the specific cost will be discussed between our two companies."
John said happily, in business, as a qualified businessman, interests must be put first, if Wanhe Tianyi's next movie does not meet the requirements, Paramount will not be able to use it for distribution, otherwise, if the other party sends some indiscriminate movies, wouldn't it be a smash of their own signboard "At this point, Mr.
John can rest assured, Wanhe Tianyi is taking the high-quality route, I can guarantee that all movies in the future can reach today's level, and even surpass, as for advertising and publicity costs, etc., I don't care very much, I also believe that Paramount can provide us with the best plan, you do things, we are responsible for paying for it."
Liu Hao said with a slight smile.
The cost of this movie is actually not high, although Liu Hao spent a budget of 500 million to call the beast and others, but it doesn't use so much money at all, and because of technological innovation, a lot of budget has been saved, according to the current shooting schedule, it would be good to spend 100 million after the whole movie was filmed, and most of the money was spent on promotion and advertising, so Liu Hao had a lot of money to spend on advertising.
"As for the copyright issue, we don't want the copyright on the Huaxia side, but the copyright in the North American market, can we hand it over to Paramount" John asked again.
"This is okay, in the future, all the rights of Wanhe Tianyi's movies in North America will be handed over to Paramount."
"Well, that's good, I'm very optimistic about Wanhe Tianyi's movie, so let's do it, how about we sign a gambling agreement, and use two billion as the box office for betting, of course, this is the global box office, if the box office can exceed this price, Paramount will be responsible for promoting the next movie for Wanhe Tianyi for free, if it is less than two billion, Paramount will bear the loss borne by your company, how" John said seriously.
"Oh, in this way, isn't Paramount very disadvantaged, with Mr.
John's shrewdness, he must have his own conditions" Liu Hao's eyes flickered, and then asked with a smile.
"There are indeed conditions, I hope that your company's technology on the picture will only cooperate with Paramount, and will not be delivered to other companies, as long as this can be done, even if all the movies of Wanhe Tianyi lose money, all the losses, Paramount will bear it."
John took a deep breath and said that the global box office of 2 billion is not a small amount, but after watching the movie, he is still very confident in Wanhe Tianyi, and even if it does not reach the box office of 2 billion, it will not be too different, Paramount's loss will not be too big, and the technology mastered by Wanhe Tianyi is a priceless treasure for the current Paramount, so on the whole, even if it will lose money in the short term, but after a long time, Paramount will definitely be the beneficiary.
"Okay, deal" Liu Hao didn't refuse, nor did he think about refusing, he didn't care if he made money or not, he only cared about how much energy the movie could bring him, as for this technology, he didn't think about handing it over to other film companies, since Paramount was willing to pay for Wanhetianyi's loss, then he simply followed the other party's wishes, which would be beneficial to both parties.
"That's great," John finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then took a sip of tea, "Good tea" With the previous exchange as the basis, the next negotiations between Wanhe Tianyi and Paramount were much easier, and the progress was very fast, and it only took more than an hour to negotiate the matter.
When the two parties signed the prepared contract, Liu Hao and John looked at each other and smiled, from today onwards, Wanhe Tianyi and Paramount will be allies.
Wanhe Tianyi will provide two movies to Paramount for distribution every year, and Paramount is responsible for the publicity costs of each movie of no less than 10 million US dollars, and the movie will be released in no less than 2000 movie theaters, and the screen will not be less than 5000 pieces, as for the sharing ratio, Paramount accounts for 35%, North American theaters account for 45%, and Wanhe Tianyi only accounts for 20%, after all, it is the North American market, so Liu Hao is still very satisfied with this sharing ratio.
And there is also a gambling agreement to lay the foundation, so no matter what the box office is, Liu Hao and Wanhe Tianyi will never lose money.
After signing the contract, it was already noon, Liu Hao invited John and Wanhe Tianyi executives to have a pure Chinese meal, and then sent John to the plane to the United States at about three o'clock.
John must go back as soon as possible to prepare for the promotion of the movie, after all, it is almost the end of the year, and there are more movies released during this time period, even Paramount, it needs to make good use of the resources in his hands in order to make the movie of Wanhe Tianyi be released smoothly.
After Liu Hao and others returned to the company, they also cooperated with Paramount to carry out a wave of publicity, so at eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening in New York, USA, and a huge news broke out in China and the United States at the same time.
Paramount and Huaxia's Wanhe Tianyi have reached a long-term cooperation agreement, which will not only be fully responsible for the distribution of Wanhe Tianyi's films for release in North America, but also set the global box office of the film at 2 billion Huaxia coins in the form of a VAM.
As soon as this gambling agreement came out, the global film industry was in an uproar, and they inquired about the news of Wanhe Tianyi, but when everyone knew that Wanhe Tianyi was just a second-rate film company in Huaxia that had been established for less than a year, countless media were shocked.
A second-rate company actually made Paramount spend so much money, and countless people wondered if this was an April Fool's joke, but the reality is like this, even if they don't believe it, they have to admit that from this moment on, this company called Wanhe Tianyi is famous all over the world, and it is the kind that is known to the world in one fell swoop. t1706231537:
