Chapter 198 The Abnormal Movie Market
"Your Highness, Gulu just happened to find out that the sequel to the sky of Bei Hua Fan, the copyright master who is now as famous as Zhi Xiangyin, is very likely to be released."
Jun Ci raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Is that the "Legend of Fantasy"?"
As a director, you naturally have to do some homework. Jun Ci has learned about the domestic market recently.
Naturally, we know that the original work of this fantasy world legend is the super master Sad Painting Fan.
"Yes, but the price offered by Hollywood is very low. It only paid 10 million US dollars to buy out the rights to the first part. After the box office hit, it now wants to make the second part of Sad Painting come out, and the price is 20 million US dollars. . And the copyright price of Sad Painting Fan starts at 200 million in China."
When Jun Ci heard this, he didn't understand.
Now in 2020, technology is developing rapidly and inflation has reached a certain level.
In the early years, hot IP began to appear, and many film and television companies were eyeing the benefits of film and television adaptation.
Because of the big IP, the book fan base as a guarantee, and the joining of film and television stars, almost any book with a first-tier IP has a chance of becoming a hit.
But later, IP works began to accumulate too much. Most of them were ruined in the eyes of book fans, while a small number of them were considered satisfactory.
There are too many IP works and the prices remain high, which has caused the embarrassing situation that many film and television companies have purchased too many IPs and cannot shoot.
This has also caused the prices of some mid- to high-end IPs to begin to plummet.
But for those at the top, their IP works are increasingly valuable.
For example, the Sad Painting Fan, Zhi Xiang Yin and other super gods.
That IP becomes more valuable the more it is released.
From a few million at the beginning, to tens of millions, and now, the copyright of the most advanced Sad Painting Fan has exceeded 100 million.
Others may only look up to his achievements for the rest of their lives.
In addition to Zhi Xiangyin, who has a good relationship with him, there are five other super gods in the country, and no one can compare with them.
Among them, the only one that focuses on film and television copyrights is Sad Painting Fan.
Because his work itself is suitable for adaptation.
Hollywood has also noticed this.
However, I bought the first one for 10 million US dollars, which is really an unethical price.
Jun Ci asked directly: "Is it a buyout, not a share?"
Gulu responded: "It is indeed a buyout. After taking into account the production costs, the subsequent box office will make a net profit of 10 billion, and the subsequent share with other producers will be deducted. Jiafeni Company will make several billions in profit, only for Sad Painting Give me a red envelope of 10 million Chinese national currency."
"Awesome my brother!"
Jun Ci clicked his tongue twice: "If I were sad, I would have to sever ties with Gafunien."
Such a wicked thing, he actually has the nerve to let Sad Painting fan out the second part.
"Your Highness, this is a normal thing." Gulu sighed: "Hollywood is already the world's strongest IP powerhouse. Almost all of China's box-office hits are produced by them. It's not like China can't Just don’t give up the money! If you disappoint domestic movie fans, you will naturally have no choice but to make Hollywood arrogant."
Therefore, there are some domestic directors who always say that audiences like to watch foreign films, and there is indeed one thing about foreign films that is not worthy of criticism.
Other people can afford the production costs, but China cannot afford it.
The inability to produce good movies should be blamed on the different national conditions and the audience?
Most of the audience will probably laugh at you.
Some people say that the market is spoiled by fans of Xiaoxianrou, and as long as they have a reputation, they will not care about anything.
In Jun Ci's view, this is completely nonsense.
