Chapter 116 Movie Copyright (Second Update)

"Hey!"

Lin Zhengyi picked up and asked.

"I, Ed!" There was an unconcealable excitement in Ed's voice.

"Is there any good news again?"

Listening to the excitement that could not be concealed in his voice, Lin Zhengyi asked with a smile.

"You guessed it right, two pieces of good news!" Ed said with a smile.

"Oh? Two!?" Lin Zhengyi was suddenly curious.

One of them he could guess was that Harry Potter had sold out again and wanted to have more copies printed, so he came to sign a contract for more copies.

He calculated the time and the consumption power of the entire Europa continent. The number of Harry Potters printed previously should be almost there, and it was time to print another wave.

But the other one is unguessable.

"First one, Harry Potter is going to be printed again!"

"The sales situation in various countries on the Europa continent is far more popular than what our company estimated. It has only been more than a month since I last contacted you, and almost all of it has been sold, so five million more copies need to be printed!"

"Four million of them are going to be sent to countries on the European continent for further sales, and the other one million are going to be sold in various countries in the Americas. The reading habits there are very similar to those on the European continent, so our company will evaluate it and it should be sold there as well. Very good!”

After Ed said something excitedly, he added, "Secondly, your Harry Potter has attracted the attention of many film companies. They want to buy the film rights and adapt Harry Potter into a movie."

"And among these film companies, there are many film companies from Hollywood. The largest company is Warner Brothers. I think you must have heard of this name."

After a pause, he said, "I want to ask you if you want to give them your contact information and talk to them yourself, or what?"

Warner Bros?

Heard it!

Of course I have!
  "Batman", "Superman", "The Matrix", "Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", "Gravity", "Inception", "Interstellar", etc. are all produced by them.

Most importantly, they also made Harry Potter.

"I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it!"

After Lin Zhengyi answered, he said seriously, "I have no objection to adapting it into a movie. As for the movie rights, I would like to ask you to help me negotiate and give you 10% of the proceeds as a reward."

"However, there are a few conditions. First of all, it's best to be a Warner movie. Secondly, I need a share of the movie's net box office profits. The more, the better. Finally, these movie companies are very good at playing tricks on the box office. You should pay attention when you negotiate, and Always pay attention afterwards.”

Well, Lin Zhengyi wants to entrust this matter to Ed.

Because he is too lazy to argue with the film company, and he knows nothing about it. Talking alone is not only a waste of time and energy, but more importantly, he is likely to be cheated.

That's why he entrusted it to Ed.

For things like contract negotiation, if the company comes forward to connect with another company, it can not only strive for better conditions, but also undoubtedly better secure greater benefits for him.

And the reason why he also put forward several conditions is very simple.

The original movie was made by Warner Bros. If they hadn't made it, Lin Zhengyi was afraid that it wouldn't have the original effect. Without the original effect, it would not only be a pity for Lin Zhengyi, but more importantly, the movie might not be as popular as it was. .

It’s even easier to get a share of the movie’s box office.

The original movie has a box office of more than 7 billion yuan after a series, which is still a pretty good amount of money!
  How could he be willing to do so if he didn't share it?
  The last thing I mentioned about the box office trick was because Lin Zhengyi had heard in his previous life that Aunt Rowling seemed to have signed a similar sharing contract with the film company. As a result, the film company manipulated the income and abruptly changed from profitable to unprofitable. As a result, Aunt Rowling didn't get a dime.

Although he didn't know whether this was true or not, there was definitely no problem in being defensive.

"no problem!"

After Ed responded with a smile, he added, "But there is no need for 10%. Your book has already made our publishing company a lot of money. I will do this for you for free." I'm 10% sure, and my brother is still settling the score!" Lin Zhengyi said again.

Although it is only 10%, if the box office share is negotiated in the future, no matter how much it is, even 1%, then the 10% will bring a lot of revenue.

The original Harry Potter movie had a box office of one billion dollars worldwide.

Although it is a few years away from the time when Harry Potter was released in this era, the actual release may not have as high a box office as before.

But four to five billion can always be achieved, right?
  Even if it has to be branched into many theaters, there is always a profit of 200 to 300 million, right?
  One percent of two to three billion is two to three million.

One-tenth of two to three million is still two to three hundred thousand beautiful coins!

Two to three hundred thousand is already a lot these days!
  What's more, judging from the current popularity of Harry Potter, if we really want to talk about it, it will not only be 1%, but about 23, 45, 200%, etc., it is possible to talk about it.

Of course, it won't work if it's higher. After all, it's just a script. When someone shoots a movie or something, there are also costs for actors, special effects production, distribution and promotion, etc.

But even so, the income will be at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of beautiful coins!
  "Okay, okay, if they say free, it's free. As long as your next book is published at the same price and favors us, you can repay me!" Ed said with a smile.

"Of course it's okay to lean towards your company, but don't regret it when the movie is released!" Lin Zhengyi said with a smile after hearing this.

Although Ed has a big company to inherit from his family, millions of beautiful coins are not a lot for him.

At least it would make him feel sad.

"Regret? Whoever regrets is the puppy!" Ed said confidently.

Lin Zhengyi smiled and said no more.

"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. The contract will be as usual. I will fax it to you. You sign it and then fax it back. The money will be transferred directly to you. That's it!" Ed said and hung up. Broken phone call.

Lin Zhengyi listened to the beeping sound from the other end of the phone and hung up the phone.
-
  the next day!
  According to the previous contract signing process, Lin Zhengyi signed the faxed contract and then faxed it over.

And after the contract is signed.

quickly!

"Jingle Bell!"

His eldest brother yelled.

No hesitation.

Lin Zhengyi answered the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Lin! I am Xiaoyu, the bank's VIP customer service. Just now, your account received a transfer of 10 million pounds from Reed Publishing Company in Yingguo."

"According to the VIP exclusive service, we are now calling you to confirm that there is no problem with this transfer. If there is a problem, you can report it now and we will try our best to help you solve it!" There was a voice on the other end of the phone. .

"Yes, there is no problem with the transfer."

Lin Zhengyi responded calmly and then said, "In addition, I need your bank to convert Ying pounds into Xiangjiang dollars. Is there no problem?"

"No problem sir, we will transfer it for you right now!" the voice on the other end of the phone said politely.

"That's good!"

After Lin Zhengyi said this, he hung up the phone.

immediately!

A smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but murmured excitedly, "Ten million British pounds, which is 80 million Xiangjiang coins, how should I spend it well?"
