Chapter 627 IP Auction Conference
The hot summer season and the hot summer box office market, when July came, "Jurassic Park" had already raised its box office to an almost incredible level!
This science fiction commercial blockbuster has been released for half a month, and the box office is like a snowball to attract money in the film markets around the world, without any convergence.
The global box office exceeded 100 million US dollars in 11 days, continuing its strong momentum and constantly breaking many box office records: North American screening weekend box office record, global screening weekend box office record, North American weekly box office record, and global weekly box office record, becoming the fastest new record creator in film history to cross the billion dollar box office mark.
The Pixar popular animation "The Agents" that just released this weekend has also become the film's defeated player "Jurassic Park" since 1995 to make Pixar animation lose its weekend box office title.
Originally, some areas that have not been released have added new impetus to box office growth. "Jurassic Park" is probably the most popular science fiction film among Japanese audiences. Their love for monsters like dinosaurs is definitely one of the best!
So "Jurassic Park" also successfully defeated the anime movies on this magical island, leading the box office of the summer season from the beginning, and contributed nearly 600 million yen to the dinosaurs in a few weeks, which was almost 400,000 US dollars.
He is even expected to become the annual box office champion this year and is experiencing a journey among a number of anime movies!
This is the highest-grossing movie in Lin Han’s adaptation. "Martian Rescue" has a relatively large limit, and the IP is inferior to "Jurassic Park". As for "Immortality", the gap is even more obvious.
Now the film market is puzzled. It is difficult to predict which movie can become popular and which movie will fail in the box office, but the film workers seem to have reached a consensus: if the box office is popular, just buy an IP with Lin Han!
Although the price will definitely be very high, the effect will be obvious after buying it. Let’s see which of these movies that have purchased Lin Han has made a lot of money?
Before "Jurassic Park" was conquering cities around the world, second-generation and third-generation like Wang Bin came to the door. Who doesn't care about the box office of dinosaurs now?
From coal bosses to the film companies established by Bat, from domestic old film production companies to top Hollywood companies, there are many people who have attracted attention from Lin Han’s IPs!
Universal Pictures, Fox, Sony Pictures, Legend Pictures, Huayi Brothers, Light Media, Orange Light Entertainment, Alibaba Pictures, almost all of them are familiar names.
They made Miao Hong upset, and people were waiting in the company's living room all day, and some even worked tirelessly to track down the shooting scene of "The Matrix"!
...
"Boss, it won't work if you continue like this. Yours is as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark, attracting all the wolves. Now they have affected our office, which is not a good thing!"
Miao Hong looks exhausted physically and mentally. Don’t think that he hasn’t done anything all day long. But in fact, he is responsible for the cooperation between Paramount and Renmin University Press and Penguin Publishing Group. Without this hub, the entire small group would not be able to unite at all.
It can be said that he made great contributions to "Jurassic Park"'s success.
After hearing Miao Hong's words, Lin Han shook his head and said, "Can you speak normally? Why does it sound so erotic? We can't get into evil with them, but there is no need to be so reserved. They are willing to wait in the company. Isn't this trying to force us to give them an explanation?"
Anyway, tea and drinks in the company don’t cost much, so it’s okay to provide summer cooling to the employees and bosses to take them out.
"Boss, have you ever thought of taking out one to let them compete for it, which can not only test the current market conditions, solve the current difficulties, and even raise money for investment, it's just a killing of the number of dollars!"
Previously, Lin Han and Spielberg reached a preliminary agreement on adapting their own book "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy", and are currently in negotiations with DreamWorks.
Galaxy Pictures’ idea is to invest in filming with DreamWorks to bear the cost of % of the content, of which Lin Han’s will be converted at 8%, which means that Lin Han actually only needs to give 22% of the cost!
This price is actually very conscientious. After all, Lin Han can get 5% of the full copyright dividends on major projects like "Jurassic Park".
At that time, he was not as famous as he is now, nor did he have such good box office performance. In simple terms, Lin Han was just a second- and third-tier writer at that time. Now that he has transformed into a top writer, his value is naturally different, and it is normal to increase the price!
DreamWorks is somewhat disagreeing with this price. On the one hand, they hope to have funds to reduce their cost pressure, but on the other hand, they feel that Galaxy Pictures has helped them too little and cannot even play any positive role in the Chinese film market.
So the staff of both sides are still working on water mills and constantly discussing various details. After all, Spielberg's new project will definitely be a big production, and DreamWorks even launched a slogan of $200 million.
Even if Lin Han only needs to take out 22%, it will be tens of millions of dollars. Galaxy Pictures currently invests almost all its money in "The Matrix", and there is almost no extra money to take out!
Lin Han himself is very rich, but he and Galaxy Pictures are two separate individuals. Unless he is willing to pay for his own money, he has to find more channels to make money.
Of course, "Jurassic Park" sells so well, Lin Han will naturally pay a lot of dividends, but he knows how long it will take for Paramount to settle, and it is hard to say such things in the entertainment industry!
Fortunately, the filming of the movie was not to hand over all the funds at one time, but to transfer the funds in batches, which greatly reduced the pressure on Galaxy Pictures.
"What you said makes sense." Lin Han touched his chin and thought seriously. "We can't finish filming so many movies and TV series, otherwise we should try it out and make some money back."
Miao Hong was delighted that his boss was indeed not the kind of person who was unpretentious. Now that the IP trend on the market has reached its peak, an average person can sell tens of millions of yuan. Which of Lin Han’s books is not a classic, maybe it can even set a new sales high.
He quickly echoed: "Yes, it's safe to use auctions to save those film production companies from causing trouble for us. So which movie do you think we'll be better off? How about "The Three-Body Problem"? This will definitely cause a sensation!"
"The Three-Body Problem is for me. This is a trump card. It can be filmed at least 3 movies, but it cannot be sold to others. I think about it and find some that our company doesn't plan to film."
Lin Han thought seriously, and he immediately spoke, "Just "Time Traveler's Wife" and "The Wandering Earth", a science fiction romance, and a relatively shocking short story!"
A considerable number of readers of "Time Traveler's Wife" are women. Such touching love stories should be very marketable. It depends on how the director casts the role and shoots it. At least there is a basic plan.
Although the "Wandering Earth" is very short, it is more than enough to be included in a movie. If the director can really shoot the brake era, escape era, and wandering era, it may be a shocking movie, and the emotions revealed in it are also very sincere!
Many readers regard this short story as a masterpiece in science fiction, and even think it is better than "The Three-Body Problem"!
This is the most suitable adaptation of his short story into a movie. It requires a plot, setting, and a sense of picture and picture, and the length is just right, and there is a magical twist in the end.
So Lin Han can be said to be full of sincerity and has presented such an excellent one to auction.
Miao Hong originally thought Lin Han would come up with works like Resident Evil, but he didn't expect it to be these two works. But when he thought about it, he felt it was particularly appropriate and took care of the preferences of most people!
"These two works are quite well-known, and there should be many film companies interested in them."
Lin Han glanced at him and asked, "How do you want to do this auction? Inviting so many people just to auction these two works, it seems like a bit of a big deal?"
Miao Hong said confidently: "This is fine. We don't have to do it ourselves, but others will help organize it. Isn't a chemical industry expo recently held in Yanjing? They held a copyright auction, which will be held in three days!"
"Okay, so you were prepared for a long time and waited for me to say this." Lin Han shook his head. It is of course a good thing to have the most buyers that can save time and effort and also show up at such a state-run conference.
"This is just a coincidence. I'll contact the organizers there later. Although they have started promoting, there are almost no works that can match ours. It's easy to get in a team, and they will probably be very welcome!"
To be honest, many IP transactions are negotiated privately by both parties, and few go to the table to auction.
Especially this is the first film and television literature copyright auction, and they need heavyweight works to keep the scene. Now Lin Han gives them this opportunity!
Although it was only three days, when Miao Hong submitted Lin Han’s two works to the organizer, the organizer immediately expressed his intention to be the final auction product, and promised to update the product catalog immediately and give these messages to all film production companies.
Many film companies that originally did not intend to attend this expo could not sit still, and many Hollywood companies even filmed senior executives to come to Yanjing, and they wanted to seize the copyright of the films of these two works! 8
