Chapter 433 You Can Only Suffer (First Update! Please Subscribe!)
Unsurprisingly, Yin Jun's second film "Chasing Girls" at the end of last year was released at the Golden Princess Cinemas.
Lei Juekun is very smart, since it has been proved that Yin Jun's movie is absolutely guaranteed to be a hit, it is definitely worth spending a lot of money to get it released.
Secondly, the Siyuan Film Company of "Chasing Girls" is a medium-sized film company. Although it has a good relationship with Golden Harvest, it is not like Hong Jinbao who relies on Golden Harvest for food. It is easier to dig.
Sure enough, after Lei Juekun gave the condition of 2 million cash in addition to the share reward, Wu Siyuan turned his back on Golden Harvest without even thinking about it, and directly decided to show it in the Golden Princess Cinema.
He thinks the same as Hong Jinbao, relying on the friendship accumulated before, I have a movie script written by Yin Jun every year, which already makes me invincible, why can't I have both sides?
Now the theater chain is obviously in a state of explosion. Golden Harvest, Golden Princess and Shaw Brothers will definitely continue to compete. I will support Golden Princess now, so they will give me some face in the future, so that my popularity will increase. But it's even better.
Under such thinking, "Chasing Girl" betrayed Golden Harvest again and started its own journey of attracting money from the Golden Princess Cinemas.
After the last success, Lei Juekun not only let the 17 theaters of the Golden Princess Cinemas screen together, but also united 10 scattered theaters to screen the show. A little less - unless you join the Golden Princess Cinemas, it is impossible for everything to be the same, after all, there are differences between the inside and the outside.
Because every movie written by Yin Jun has a very good box office performance and reputation, so now that another movie written by Yin Jun has come out, everyone rushed to the theater to watch it.
It was already the twelfth lunar month, people had few things to do, and there were a lot of leisurely people, so the box office surged to 1.58 million on the first day. When the data came out, people couldn't believe their eyes!
Although 10 movie theaters have been added and the ticket price has increased, they have broken through the 1.5 million limit in one breath and raised Xiangjiang’s first-day box office record by a full 500,000. This is simply too shocking!
The second day's box office dropped to 1.32 million, and the third day was 1.15 million... After one week, the first week's box office was 8.05 million!
Just like the previous competition between "Owl and Dumbo" and "The Prodigal Boy", "Young Master Weiwei"'s first-week box office record in Hong Kong has not yet been firmly established. It was only a month before it was kicked out by Siyuan Film Company down.
Although Lei Juekun was ecstatic, even Wu Siyuan felt incredible.
In his opinion, this "Chasing the Girl" is actually not as good as last year's "The Prodigal Boy", but it just left in one go, and after a week, it is equivalent to the box office champion of previous years.
From this, Wu Siyuan had to sigh, Yin Jun's script is really crazy and fascinating!
Last year, there were two consecutive films that broke the box office record, and this year it is another two consecutive films that broke the box office record. The scripts were all written by Yin Jun. Recently, the media has smeared and suppressed Yin Jun because of the rights and interests of the second-class land exchange. , I have to admit that, at least in terms of scripts, Yin Jun is still well-deserved number one in the world.
Ordinary people can understand it. Even if Yin Jun loses money in other businesses, he only needs to write a few more scripts, and he can become a multi-millionaire in minutes.
Knowing this fact, many people feel a little depressed.
There is really no comparison between people!
And it was also in these two days that just after it was revealed that "Chasing Girls" was bound to break Xiangjiang's box office record, ATV once again broke the breaking news.
The British company Pearson, which is one of the largest publishing groups in the world, has reached an agreement with Kirin Culture Co., Ltd. to purchase the single volumes of 10 comic books from Kirin Culture so far and distribute them globally.
The specific number of copies purchased has not been announced, but according to people familiar with the matter, the cooperation this time is very active. Pearson has purchased at least 8 million copies in total. If the sales volume is good, there will be further additions.
The volume of 8 million volumes, now Xiangjiang and Aomen sell for 9 yuan a volume, which means that there will be 72 million sales every two months. According to industry estimates, at least Kylin Culture will earn 20 million from it. above.
You can earn 10 million more in a month, and more than 120 million in a year.
Even if Yin Jun failed even in film and television, becoming a billionaire is still very easy!
Upon hearing this information, the group of people who had crazily belittled Yin Jun before became a little silent.
According to Yin Jun's current earning speed, Kirin Culture alone can bring him more than 500 million pre-tax income in a year. If this is the case, he spends 700 to 800 million to buy the second type of land exchange rights and interests. fart?
You can earn back in two years, how could they go bankrupt?
After this data was listed on TV, all Xiangjiang people were shocked.
They used to only know how to make money by doing real estate and port business, but they never thought that they could make so much money by making a comic book!
In the past, Jin Yong, Ni Jia, Gu Long and others accumulated tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of net worth by writing books, which is already amazing, but compared with Yin Jun, they are nothing worth mentioning, okay?
Young people regard Yin Jun as their idol.
Successful people are most likely to be admired by others, and Yin Jun is no exception.
From this moment on, everyone no longer regards Yin Jun as an outsider, but "Xiangjiang's pride". They completely forgot that a month ago, there were still people who taunted Yin Jun as Da Luzi, who came to Xiangjiang to grab food.
In fact, Yin Jun was not as excited as they were, and even Le Yiling was a little bit annoyed recently.
The reason is very simple. This time, the cooperation with Pearson Company, Kirin Culture has suffered a little.
Since "Kirin Weekly" became a wild seller last year, European and American publishing houses have been focusing on this comic, and have analyzed all types of comics, and started targeted market research with their own preferences. Company negotiations.
You have to know that guys in Europe and the United States only regard Europe and the United States as the center of the world. In their eyes, Asia is only slightly better than Africa, and much worse than South America.
Therefore, these publishing groups, especially the big publishing groups, regard the cooperation with Kirin Culture as a kind of charity, and the quotations are getting more and more outrageous.
American bachelor companies, as long as "Transformers", "Saint Seiya" and "Tomb Raider", plus the latest "Resident Evil", each requires 300,000 copies, but only one book is converted. The price of 2.5 Hong Kong dollars—the cost of printing and labor costs are 2 yuan, which is basically equivalent to the idea and idea of comics being given away for free.
This is not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is Velters Kluwer Publishing Company in the Netherlands. They want 10 comic books, but they only need 100,000 copies each, 2.5 Hong Kong dollars per book, and the settlement will be made 12 months after shipment. Then European and American film and television copyrights will also be given to them for free.
For a shameless person like Veeco Publishing Company, Le Yiling directly gestured the middle finger to their bearded general manager and told him to get out.
In contrast, Kodansha in Japan is more lenient. They want to win the global sales authorization. In addition, within the scope of Europe and the United States, a second publishing house cannot be allowed to sell within five years.
Pearson's conditions are moderate, better than ordinary European and American publishing houses, but worse than Japan's Kodansha and South Korea's Ohashi Group.
The quantity they gave was 8 million copies of all ten comics, but the ratios were different. Among them, "Transformers", "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" had the most, reaching 5 million copies. The remaining seven comic book volumes have a total of 3 million copies.
The problem of translation is done by their own experts, but they don't need to worry about Qilin Culture.
The price of Pearson is only 5 yuan, Hong Kong dollars, and it will be paid after three months. If they can't sell it all, they will digest it by themselves.
The exclusive sales contract is also signed for ten years.
In the end, Le Yiling managed to pay them one month after delivery, and the exclusive sales contract was reduced to five years.
For this reason, the price of the comics became 4 yuan, a 20% reduction.
Yin Jun could only endure it.
No way, who told them that they have the largest sales network in the world, and they also have a good payment reputation?
Compared with theirs, Kodansha's channels are more than twice as poor, and they can't go to many places, so Yin Jun can only choose this publishing giant that can promote his novels faster and better.
Only by allowing them to quickly promote their novels to the world can they start to continuously cultivate fans, just like what Spiderman, Batman, and Iron Man did, and then they can usher in the most abundant fruits in a decade or two. .
Not to mention the big movies in the future, just talking about the "Transformers" animation that will be launched in March and April, we need to have more sense of identity.
Of course, in the agreement signed between Yin Jun and them, there is also a requirement that the goods must be distributed around the world as quickly as possible, otherwise this side has the right to terminate the contract and sue them for breach of contract.
In fact, without Yin Jun saying it, Pearson will do the same.
They are very optimistic about the comics published in "Kirin Weekly", and the "Resident Evil" published separately is also very good, otherwise they would not compete with so many companies, and they also agreed to these insignificant Xiangjiang people. Many conditions.
Pearson has more than 4,700 cooperative bookstores around the world, including more than 2,000 chain bookstores, so they are still very confident in their sales.
Although the manga booklet from Yin Jun was bought for 4 yuan, but their price is at least 5 dollars, which is almost 25 Hong Kong dollars. Such a huge profit made them fully motivated and ready to work hard. I recommend it.
It's just that Pearson didn't come from time travel after all, and they didn't insist on the 10-year exclusive sales rights they called before. They felt that the 5-year period was almost enough, just enough to squeeze out the value, and then went to find new promising ones. object of exploitation.
Comic books made by Asians are nothing more than comic books, can they be compared with the comic masters in Britain and the United States?
Not bad for three years!
And the liquidated damages they set were only 10 million US dollars - the combined price of 10 comics! This number also decreases with age.
More importantly, because I felt that I wanted enough, the contract only stipulated that the additional price would be the same, but it did not stipulate that Kirin Culture must give them additional booklets.
On the day when the supply exceeds the demand, they should come to ask for Kirin Culture.
At that time, Yin Jun believes that Sister Le will definitely let them know what revenge is!
