Chapter 157 Leading the Dinosaur Culture

(20,000 recommended votes plus updates!)

How popular is Jurassic Park on Earth?

Lin Han couldn't explain it clearly. Anyway, this name has left a deep impression on the hearts of several generations. It seems that dinosaur fossils and paleontology have become popular, and some originally deserted museums have used it to make a lot of money on tickets.

"Since that's the case, do we have to sign an IP option?" Jack Harrison made up his mind that he could not let the money tree leave anyway. It would be more guaranteed to set an option first.

Owning an IP option does not mean that you have the copyright completely, but spending money to buy time. Paramount is now optimistic about the copyright of "Jurassic Park" and wants to negotiate with Lin Han's copyright, spend a certain amount of money to ensure exclusive development rights within the specified time.

Compared to spending a lot of money to buy copyrights directly, owning such an IP option can give Paramount more time to evaluate and develop, and the price will be much cheaper.

However, this agreement usually takes a short time, and in the United States it usually takes one year to one and a half years, and the contract can be renewed after that, because the script development will be a longer time to determine the actors.

The fee for IP options will be paid in two times. The first time is considered as a prepayment, and the fee occupies about 5%-10% of the entire copyright purchase fee. This part of the money will not be refunded. No matter how the project develops, there will be no refund for IP purchase or not.

The second time is a one-time payment, which is equivalent to buying the IP copyright. If the movie is finally made and becomes addicted, some terms of the option agreement will require the producer to pay 2-5% of the original copyright holder's net profit.

In order to maximize participation in film creation, many copyright holders are even unwilling to ask for it, but instead ensure their control over the copyright as much as possible.

It’s not that no one wants the IP of "Jurassic Park". Paramount wants to tie Lin Han up, but Lin Han doesn’t want to do this.

He shook his head and replied, "I agree to develop the full copyright of the novel together, and the rest of the cooperation forms are not discussed. I will send the subsequent stories and outlines to your email address. I suggest you evaluate them carefully before talking about them. There are some suggestions and visions for full copyright development."

Perhaps Paramount himself had never thought about the value of developing a novel at 360°. They just thought of part of it, so they thought that Lin Han would surrender under the US dollar offensive.

"No matter what, we are all very sincere." Jack Harrison once again emphasized his original intention, and business is unsuccessful.

Lin Han grinned, "I want to see greater sincerity, maybe you will know where to find me."

Jack Harrison thinks Lin Han is completely different from other writers. Many American writers heard that Paramount had a fancy to their novels, and many people only need to spend 100,000 and 200,000 dollars to get the copyright. Lin Han didn't even take 10 million dollars seriously.

It is true that it is the same. You can clearly make $500 million or 600 million in the next few decades, so why do you need that ten million?

"I don't know if Mr. Harrison, have you noticed that the sales changes of Chinese dinosaur picture albums and dinosaur introductions in children's books." Lin Han took out the data he specially compiled from the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication. "Since several years, the sales level of these books has been very stable, and the line chart can show that it is basically a horizontal line."

However, Jack Harrison's eyes were staring at the small rising corner behind him, and he vaguely guessed what Lin Han was going to say.

"The dinosaur picture book, which has maintained a stable sales status for many years, rose slightly in June. Although the increase was only about 10%, my novel was released not long ago. Novels alone can cause the sales of these surrounding books. If the movie is released, would you want to know the specific information about the dinosaurs in the movie? If there are dinosaurs of the same proportion in the movie with appropriate price in the cinema and amber for sale, would you like to buy one?"

Lin Han chuckled softly, "What we have to do now is to lead the dinosaur culture and launch the trend of dinosaur culture, so that many people will join this trend consciously or unconsciously. At that time, we can show all this plan."

Nowadays, dinosaurs are just quiet supporting roles in the monster movie field, and have never played the protagonist. These land and ocean overlords who once dominated the earth tens of millions of years ago should receive higher treatment.

However, dinosaurs are the eternal protagonists in "Jurassic Park". Whether it is the realistic and shocking Tyrannosaurus Rex, the sinister velociraptor, the gentle and cute brachiosaurus, the thick skin and thick flesh, and the timid chicken dragon in the group. Each dinosaur has been resurrected from the ancient Jurassic era and rushed around the park.

Dinosaurs eat people, dinosaurs fight each other in amusement parks, velociraptors kill humans, and the thrilling scenes can be felt as if they are in the text, a hint of coolness slowly rises from the tailbone.

Children love dinosaurs, but "Jurassic Park" is not necessarily suitable for them to watch. It is a thrilling and bloody science fiction film with many scary plots. But there are always children who can't help but peek, which is too attractive to them.

Regardless of their actual age, readers are eager to experience such thrilling adventures as Jurassic Park and learn about archaeology and biological sciences, and these fun can still be maintained even after reading the novel.

To completely form a dinosaur culture, relying solely on novels and movies is not enough. Comics, electronic games and theme park recreation projects are also important support for the world's dinosaur craze.

In fact, there are 7 sets of comics around "Jurassic Park" that Lin Han knows, and some rebooted comics that he has never seen before.

As for video games, not only "Lost World: Jurassic Park", "Jurassic Park: Gene Project", etc., but also someone specializes in Blizzard's Warcraft to create the Jurassic Park series RPG map, which once became popular.

In addition, using Lego toys to piece together different kinds of dinosaurs is probably one of the favorite challenges for children.

Nowadays, the cognition and popularization of dinosaur culture are no less than other animal cultures. These special species from ancient times have entered many parents and children through audio-visual forms such as documentaries, encyclopedias, etc.

The external conditions are ripe, and Lin Han believes that Paramount will make the right choice. It is not an exaggeration to ask for a total return of 10%, unless the other party wants to launch a copycat such as "Baiji Paradise".
