Chapter 154: 500 million Hong Kong dollars, pry open the North American share! Refuse Universal and Fox!!
“Manager Yan, this data is incomplete.”
Song Tianyao asked with some surprise.
“Chairman, what are you talking about?”
Yan Xuehai was startled in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the desk.
“There is no videotape sales data in the file.”
Song Tianyao pointed to the folder and said.
“This one.”
Yan Xuehai relaxed at this time, and said with a smile on his face: “Chairman, the sales of video tapes are extremely hot. ”
“When I just sent the documents over, there was a new data from the sales department, and the sales went up to another level.”
“It can be said that it is one day at a time.”
“Therefore, I made up my own mind and did not show it to you.”
“I thought, it’s better to wait for the videotape to be completely sold out, and then show you the aggregated data.”
“After all, the data will be more accurate back then.”
“This way.”
Song Tianyao was noncommittal, it didn’t matter about it, he wasn’t such a nitpicker.
“Chairman, do you want me to go and bring the summary data to you now?”
Yan Xuehai asked cautiously and unsurely.
“No thanks.”
Song Tianyao waved his hand, and then said: “Have you seen this data?” ”
“I’ve seen it.”
Yan Xuehai nodded.
“Then you can talk about it directly.”
Song Tianyao said with a smile.
I just looked at those dense data and was a little dazzling.
Just listen to the videotape sales record.
“Okay.”
Yan Xuehai nodded and thought about it slightly.
The words were rounded and said: “Chairman, this time the video with genuine picture quality…”
After listening to Yan Xuehai’s report.
Song Tianyao was clear about the sales of the videotape.
However, this time it is a little different from the situation of the Predator.
The genuine picture quality sells better than the inferior blurry quality.
He guessed that it was an unprecedented investment of 200 million.
There is also a bonus for the theme of tomb robbery adventure treasure hunting.
Let the Hong Kong Island audience who were previously enthusiastic or shy of their pockets.
Do not hesitate to spend a little more money to buy a videotape in genuine quality.
Of course.
This guess is right or wrong.
It’s all inconsequential.
The most important thing is income.
Back to business.
The sales of the three-week video reached more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
Compared to the more than seven million in the Predator videotape, it is more than doubled.
To this.
Song Tianyao is still relatively satisfied.
After all.
The market for videotapes cannot be compared with cinemas.
With so much sales, it’s terrifying.
“Very good.”
Song Tianyao praised with a smile on his face.
Since you have made money.
It’s still the kind that has doubled its earnings.
It just so happens that Indiana Jones has come to an end.
Next is the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds.
Solo music is not as good as group music.
He was not a stingy person looking at Yan Xuehai and ordered: “Manager Yan, the celebration banquet can be arranged, and the bonuses of all the crew members are arranged.” ”
“Okay.”
Yan Xuehai’s face flashed with joy, and he asked in a positive tone: “Chairman, the specifications of this celebration banquet, and the bonus, are they still the same?” ”
“Nope.”
Song Tianyao shook his head and said with a smile: “The specifications are bigger, and the search is so that other production companies on Hong Kong Island can see it, and I think we can’t afford it.” ”
“There is no limit to the number of people at the celebration banquet, so wrap up the Taibaifang and Pearl Fang for me, as long as the relevant personnel of the Indiana Jones crew can participate.”
“If you give the bonus, double the previous one.”
All earned so much.
Naturally, everyone has to be happy together.
“Okay, Chairman, I thank you for them.”
Yan Xuehai said happily.
Seeing Yan Xuehai’s face full of joy, Song Tianyao smiled gently: “You high-level personnel, the bonus has also doubled. ”
“Chairman Xie.”
Yan Xuehai said with a smile.
“Is there anything else?”
Seeing that Yan Xuehai was still here, Song Tianyao frowned and asked.
“Yes.”
Yan Xuehai nodded and replied, “Chairman, the overseas issuance negotiations have reached the final stage…”
After listening to Yan Xuehai’s words.
Song Tianyao almost knew what was going on.
Previously, he was determined not to sell overseas screening rights at a low price.
The North American release of Indiana Jones was once deadlocked.
The most recent period.
Song’s sales department has been negotiating with North American distributors.
In general, it took so much time to reach an agreement.
There is only one reason.
It’s that North American distributors don’t want to give up on a well-made film that is already successful in Asia.
But the arrogant do not want to share, and have always insisted on the buyout system.
When the negotiations came later, the ghosts relaxed, but the share was too low.
It could not meet Song Tianyao’s requirements of 30%.
Therefore, the negotiations have been deadlocked.
Originally.
Song Tianyao thought that he would have to negotiate for a while.
Unexpectedly, now the situation has changed a little.
Universal Pictures still insisted on buying out, offering to buy out the rights to the screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark for $8 million.
Foxfilm offered $8.5 million.
These two publishers, Song Tianyao, will not consider that the highest more than 8 million US dollars, converted into more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, will be eliminated directly.
Interestingly, the last partner, Paramount Pictures.
The ghosts came up with a compromise idea.
That is, to cooperate in two aspects.
The share ratio is reduced, but a part of the funds will be contributed in advance.
The specific situation is the share that Song Tianyao requested, and the ghost guy can’t give so much.
From the original requirement of 30 per cent, it has been reduced to 15 per cent.
However, Paramount Pictures will pay $3.8 million in advance for this share in full.
That’s about HK$25.45 million.
“Chairman, the negotiation team told me that this is almost the bottom line of those ghosts, which publisher do you think you should work with?”
Yan Xuehai asked respectfully.
Song Tianyao did not answer Yan Xuehai.
He was thinking about whether to work with Paramount Pictures.
Universal and Fox are certainly not going to think about it.
After thinking about it, he said: “Okay, inform the negotiation team and cooperate with Paramount Pictures, 3.8 million US dollars.” ”
“The independent screening rights for Indiana Jones North America and Europe are theirs.”
Ponder over.
Song Tianyao still agreed to cooperate with Paramount.
Indiana Jones may be unconvinced in the North American market, and Paramount can offer this price, but it is much more sincere than other companies.
$3.8 million is not an important thing.
The most important thing is that share.
After all.
In this age of discrimination.
In the North American market, where the ghost guy controls the discourse.
It is still very difficult for Chinese films to get too high a share ratio.
Even if there is no precedent for division before, it has always been a situation in which North America has given Hong Kong Island a favor.
This time, the achievements of Hunter of the Lost Ark are really eye-catching.
Only then did Paramount Pictures take a step back.
But.
This time, a hole was pried open.
The follow-up will be much more convenient, and those ghosts will not be so resistant, and it will definitely be simpler.
After all, if there is a first time, there will naturally be a second time.
With a mouth, after tearing it along the mouth, it is a big cave.
“Got it, chairman, I’ll do it.”
Yan Xuehai nodded and smiled.
No matter which plan the chairman chooses, it will be a big income for the company.
And there is also his share of achievements.
With the generosity of the Chairman.
There will definitely be rewards after this event.
The year-end bonus designates to be able to get more, can you not be happy.
“Go ahead.”
Song Tianyao waved his hand and said.
Now it is not clear how many overseas divisions there will be, and whether they will be unsatisfied, he cannot predict.
However, according to the situation of the Predator before, there will not be too few.
Let’s not talk about this.
US$3.8 million, more than HK$25 million.
Plus more than 450 million Hong Kong dollars in profits from Hong Kong Island and other cities.
There are also more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars in videotapes.
Now the profit has reached more than 490 million Hong Kong dollars.
However, Indiana Jones is still on the air and continues to generate a lot of revenue.
Plus the videotape, and some of the outer port.
The final profit exceeded 500 million Hong Kong dollars, no problem at all.
Moreover, the 15 percent share of North America is not counted.
“The money is barely enough, it’s time to get down to business.”
Song Tianyao thought thoughtfully, said to himself with a smile at the corner of his mouth, picked up his suit and left the office.
