Chapter 1375 Zombie film goes to sea

Among the countless film companies in Hong Kong, only two types of people exist.

One is that you don’t have the copyright of zombie films, but realize that zombie films may be rejuvenated, so you are looking for the copyright of zombie films everywhere;

Another type is someone who originally had the copyright of the zombie film, but was bought out by Makino Eyeon some time ago.

They were upset at this moment. It turned out that Makino Ying had already prepared. They might have known that the elements of Chinese zombies would be popular when they were developing the new version of "Plant vs. Zombie Online", so they bought all the copyrights of all the zombie films in their hands.

What makes this kind of person most depressed is that the price given by Makino Yingxiang can only be considered a bargain price. This is not that Makino Yingxiang intends to cheat people, but the quotes given by these film and television companies themselves...

In their opinion, these zombie movies are already worthless garbage. Some people are willing to buy them, and they make money by themselves no matter how much they pay, so the price they quote is really not high.

Moreover, the place where the bad vegetables are they deliberately used the method of packaging and selling.

Makino Yingying didn't want those shoddy bad movies. Zombie movies were so popular that they did produce too many bad movies. Even Lin Zhengying himself has taken on many bad movies of this type. However, these film and television companies finally waited for a buyer, so they put forward self-hard demands.

For example, Huanya and Makino Yingxiang want to buy the copyright of their "Mr. Zombie" series, and what they want is the theater broadcasting rights, TV broadcasting rights and audio-visual products distribution rights in all countries and regions except Hong Kong. Huanya initially wanted to open a "high price" of 500,000 yuan. After all, this movie has been almost twenty years, and in the past ten years, it has not even had a 50,000 yuan income, so 500,000 yuan is indeed a high price. However, because there are too many zombie films on hand that cannot be created, Huanya simply offered a package price, selling all the copyrights of more than 30 of its zombie films to Makino Yingxiang, so Makino Yingxiang accepted all photos.

Look at it now, the price is really a loss, and it is a loss to my grandma's house!

Those who wanted to buy the copyright of zombie films had their phone calls and couldn't find a zombie film that had not been sold. The answers they got made them vomit blood. Without exception, all of these zombie films were bought by Makino Yingxiang, and the price was so cheap!

Hong Kong movies were still very influential in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea in the 1980s. At that time, the distributors in Southeast Asia and Japan often purchased Hong Kong copyrights and even snatched Hong Kong movie copyrights. However, Hong Kong movies have declined so much in recent years that these distributors rarely set their sights on Hong Kong. However, the new version of "Plant vs. Zombie Online" has a gust of surprise. These people also smelled business opportunities and went to Hong Kong film companies to purchase movie copyrights. It turned out that the film and television company with zombie film copyrights in Hong Kong only left the copyright of Hong Kong's main island. Except for Hong Kong, all copyrights were included in the hands of Makino Yingxiang...

Not only the copyright of the movie, but also the copyright of zombie TV series like the zombie Taoist Priest was plundered by Makino Imaging...

"It's so amazing! It's really so amazing!" Countless bosses of Hong Kong film companies were scolding Makino Yingxiang for malicious shopping. In their eyes, Makino Yingxiang's approach was as hateful as knowing in advance that the plague was about to be epidemic, so they bought all the medicines.

However, in Li Mu's eyes, this is what a businessman should do. When he discovers business opportunities, he must seize the opportunity. If you know in advance that a stock will definitely rise and will not encounter any risks or accidents, then the most correct thing you can do is to invest all the money you can raise and borrow, either spend every penny or buy all the stocks. This is the most correct way to do it. What's more, he does not really want to make a little difference by speculating on copyright. What he wants is to take all the copyrights in his own hands, and then do external authorization and output.

If countless guerrillas fight on their own, they may not be able to form a joint force, and even internally smear and interfere with each other. It is better to simply gather all the armed forces together, form an army, and then aim in one direction and attack with a heavy blow!

Based on this idea and the curiosity and attention of overseas people towards the Chinese zombies, the local culture of Chinese culture, Li Mu asked Muye Yingxiang to release a major news in the global film and television industry: At present, the copyright of all Hong Kong zombie films "countries and regions outside Hong Kong" is in the hands of Muye Yingxiang, and there are more than a dozen top works with very good box office and audience reputation at the time, and these top works can be copyrighted and cooperated with.

At the same time, Makino Yingxiang also announced that except for Hong Kong, all countries and regions that are not Hong Kong may not use these movies for commercial use, otherwise Makino Yingxiang will protect its rights to the end.

Once this news was announced, Makino Yingxiang suddenly received cooperation intentions from publishers in various countries around the world. What's more interesting is that mainland TV stations were crazy and generally broadcast zombie movies in large quantities. It only lasted for less than 48 hours and disappeared completely. After Makino Yingxiang released the news, no TV station dared to broadcast these zombie works.

TV stations that have just started serializing zombie TV series can only stop broadcasting immediately and use other TV series to replace them.

In this era, it was difficult for satellite TV stations to absolutely respect copyright when playing movies. Most of the movies played on TV, namely the TV station, do not have copyrights. However, due to the incomplete laws and the chaos in the market, whether in the Hong Kong film circle or Hollywood, there is no way to deal with mainland TV stations.

However, these TV stations dare to ignore copyright issues in the Hong Kong film industry and Hollywood, but they absolutely dare not ignore Makino Technology.

Everyone knows what kind of person Li Mu is. His influence on the world is so great that media people doubt their lives. If the copyrights of these movies and TV series are in the hands of his company, no TV station dares to get him bad. Therefore, everyone tacitly stopped the infringement and then began to look for Muye Yingxiang to purchase the screening rights.

Just from the quotes from major TV stations, you can see how cost-effective this deal is.

Xiangnan TV wants the broadcast rights of classic films such as "Mr. Zombie" series, "Happy Ghost" series, as well as "One-Brow Taoist", "Ghost Fights Ghost" and "Scared People", and the price given is 500,000 yuan per movie, which will be broadcast three times. If it can be broadcast exclusively, the price can be increased by five times.

Because of Li Mu's influence, zombie films are the only area in China that strictly follows copyright regulations. The usual exclusive broadcasts are likely to be infringed by other TV stations, but this time it is impossible. Whoever Makino Yingxiong authorizes them can be broadcast exclusively.

The person in charge of Makino Eye originally hoped to take this opportunity to talk about the price and strive to make tens of millions or even more from these TV stations across the country in one go, but Li Mu's phone call set a major tone for this batch of copyrights.

Li Mu demanded that the external authorization of this batch of copyrights cannot be based on making money as the core purpose, but on dissemination and influence as the core purpose. Therefore, for mainland China, Taiwan and Macau, TV stations, they must not be able to do exclusive authorization to make money, but non-exclusive authorization, and reduce the copyright usage price. Li Mu set the price to be first-line works, 50,000 yuan per broadcast, 30,000 yuan in second-line works, 10,000 yuan in third-line works, 50% of the second and second-line works, 50%.

In other words, if any TV station, whether it is a satellite TV station, a local city or a county TV station, if they want to broadcast "Mr. Zombie", they can play it once on their own TV station as long as they pay a 50,000 yuan copyright fee. If they want to play it for the second time, they will pay an additional 25,000 yuan.

This price is indeed outrageous for TV stations, with a low threshold, which also indicates that more TV stations can broadcast zombie-themed movies more times, which has a very good promoting effect on enhancing this special trend of popularity.

As for TV series, one is only 200,000 yuan, and the price is so low that the TV station dare not even dare to imagine it.

Compared with the domestic market, Li Mu attaches more importance to foreign markets.

This itself is a cultural output, and publishers around the world need to be responsible for the specific implementation. Therefore, Li Mu’s requirement is that he must not take out all the works at once, which will not only distract his attention, but may also cause excessive reactions. Now that all the copyrights of zombie films are in his own hands, he can take the best route and try out the best "Mr. Zombie" first. If this movie gets a good response, then follow the second one.

A movie 18 years ago, I want to gain something big at the overseas box office. The possibility of it not very much at first glance, but given the current situation, there is still a lot of room for operation.

First of all, for the Western film industry, it is not the summer season or the Christmas season. The box office is relatively quiet, and the theater resources are not so popular, and they are relatively abundant;

Secondly, the new version of "Plant vs. Zombies Online" has made Chinese zombies popular, and most overseas players like this new element very much;

Again, Li Mu ordered people to use zombie film materials on overseas Internet to spread the science of Chinese zombie culture with other netizens, and used the navy to inquire and guide netizens' interests. He found that many netizens were quite interested in this Chinese zombie element. Many people left messages in comments, mentioning that they hoped to have the opportunity to watch such a movie;
