Chapter 42 Re-invitation

"I think we'll talk about it after it's released, how about it?"

"Didn't Toronto miss a round? He won the first place in the People's Choice Award..."

"So, let's talk about it after it is released..."

Chen Lin was very curious about German: "Is there any secret to Oscar PR?"

"No...it's all by persuasion vote!"

"Is that troublesome?"

"You ask Megan to tell you!"

Meghan roughly explained that first of all, "New World" is a gangster film. There are about 200 judges with votes. These people can be regarded as fixed voters. They are very interested in this movie, and even take the initiative to watch it. Those who need public relations are swaying people!

"Those judges who don't like Martin and Leonardo give up directly. We can't change them with a little bit of public relations; anyway, we only have one-third of the votes, and we can basically determine the victory."

Wow, it's just like an election!

“…Mail CD?”

"Mailing CDs is just one of the means, including cocktail parties, screenings, awards ceremony, and every link is very important."

Chen Lin listened very seriously...

These things are very useful for the subsequent Ao!

Dalinzi won the Oscar for Best Actor in this life, but he still has a chance to be nominated for Best Director!

"New World" is the first time Chen Lin Studio went to the Oscars, gathering old Martin + Little Little, and the screenwriter Chen Lin himself, and he must make some achievements!

...

Megan Pajon should go to Leonardo's PR manager to negotiate PR strategies when he leaves.

David poured Chen Lin a cup of coffee and said, "The copyright of the Hunger Games has been taken down, but the first adaptation rights are as high as 8 million US dollars. In addition, we have to pay her 5% of the North American box office profit!"

"It's good to take it down!"

The copyright of popular best-selling novels has always been the first choice for popular adaptations in Hollywood.

Tom Hanks won "The Code of Leonardo da Vinci" and "Angels and Demons", both of which are best-selling novels by Dan Brown, and the adaptation fee paid is tens of millions!

Of course, both movies have good box office...

David agrees very much: "The top ten IPs, the Holy Grail Artifact series, have been published three of them, and the sales are very good. I heard that Disney is interested; the best-selling rankings also include "Host", which is also the work of Stephanie Mayer. We are not interested. Lions Gate won the adaptation rights; "End's Game" series, Pinfeng Entertainment won the adaptation rights; "Hugo Cabrett's Invention", Paramount won the adaptation rights..."

"The Hunger Games is a typical teenager film, similar to "Twilight"... Fortunately, we won it! It was mainly because of the success of "Twilight" that made Susan Collins excited..."

Chen Lin suddenly wondered: "How did you convince her?"

"It's very simple, I told her that "The Hunger Games" is definitely more popular than "Twilight"! Other Hollywood film companies don't know what kind of actors "The Hunger Games" are suitable for...most importantly, we said the cost is close to 80 million US dollars!"

“…It’s a bit high, but it’s almost the same…”

"The Hunger Games" has many big scenes and many special effects. This is not the Qiong Yao drama in love in "Twilight"...

Really want to spend money!

David nodded and asked, "Where is the actor's choice?"

"You make an idea, but the heroine must..."

"I understand!"

David raised his eyebrows...

Chen Lin is speechless, I’m having a serious conversation with you!

"...You know what a hairy person... I mean I'm afraid that the heroine must be a post-90s, she must be taller and look cool..."

"OK, I'll definitely satisfy you anyway," David consciously understood Dalinzi's aesthetic: "When will we start making it?"

"No hurry, this is a series that will replace Twilight... It's OK to start production next year!"

David nodded and asked, "Goldman Sachs asked us whether we want to go public through a backdoor, or go public independently?"

"Borrow a shell... After all, we are a studio, and if we go public, we have to change our name!"

Don’t think that if you can be listed on the US stock market, it is a large company. In fact, a bunch of film and television companies are listed every year.

Including many companies in Canada!

David's goal is a Canadian film company called Cinepix FilmProperties, which is translated into Chinese as film entertainment. He is good at producing movies under $5 million. He produces about ten movies every year and rarely releases them. He basically has no representative works. They also have sales channels, supplying TV and movie channels such as H wave or other large independent producers.

Why did David like it?

The reason is very simple. This company does not have much foreign debt and has very little copyright, which means it costs less!

Indeed, their boss doesn't want to play anymore and is willing to pack and sell it for $150 million...

After negotiations, the deal was completed at $90 million, and there was also $18 million in foreign debt, which was also borne.

The next step is private equity financing, and then public equity financing...

According to David, at least 50% of the shares must be distributed, so that those people will not target the studio!

H-bo TV, Universal Pictures, and Goldman Sachs will purchase shares.

According to their valuation of the studio, it should be around US$1.1 billion...

The Americans’ market value estimates of film companies are based on the model. You are not good at making movies, relying on box office and copyright to get profits.

There is no way to maximize the benefits, they have their own benchmark: Disney.

How can Chen Lin have the energy to imitate Disney?

In comparison, DreamWorks Animation’s market value is about US$1.6 billion!

...

In addition to dealing with matters, Chen Lin also came to North America to avoid domestic noise.

Ning Hao called him, crying all kinds of times that he was so annoyed that the media was looking for him. Many friends he had known before would also look for him, hoping to attract some investment...

"I have nothing to say to them that the stock price is just the stock price. Even if it is sold, it has to wait for the ban to be lifted. They don't listen at all!"

"I guess I want you to introduce it to the company and make some money!"

“…No way?”

"Then what's wrong? Everyone knows that time has money. I want to integrate a project casually and just cheat money..."

"Did he treat people from our company as fools?"

Chen Lin changed the topic: "...If you are bored, just come to the United States. I happen to have a project that suits you!"

“What project?”

"How about the American version of The Legend of the Wicked...?"

"Wait for me to finish "The Unknown", don't tempt me!"

Ning Hao hung up the phone directly...

I didn't tempt you, I just thought "The Legend of the Wild" was suitable for an R-level action movie...

Don't you want to make a movie that reflects human nature?

Dalinzi was speechless, and then looked out the window. The night view in Los Angeles was quite good. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to go out and roam. Should he call David and ask him to arrange a few actresses to audition for a special exam?

Or there is a better way to introduce a few brokers, specializing in that...

Forget it, this place is not Busan after all.

I turned on the computer and prepared to look for a movie. My phone rang, and it was David's phone call.

"What's wrong?"

"Boss, I just forgot to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

"Aliquesha Talia and Marshall Heskoviz collectively feel that you are a good fit for Jamie Randall!"

"What's the matter?"

I thought you would give me the manual "Call Girl 2009"!

"I suggest you try it out in the film, no matter how long it is!"
Chapter completed!
