The song "Sudden Love" instantly made Sun Peng's personality soar.
Although the three songs that had been prepared long ago were good, they still couldn't shock the two stars too much. However, after coming to Tokyo for two days, they came up with a theme song of Tokyo Love Story, but it was still on earth.
The song that ranks among the top single sales in Japan's history is quite shocking.
When celebrities are shocked, lawyers are naturally shocked as well.
These people may not understand the quality of songs, but they are very good at judging people. After discovering that Tanaka and Aoki were more enthusiastic about Sun Peng, they naturally began to do their best to help them. The contract regarding the songs naturally went smoothly.
, it was signed quickly, and then Sun Peng said goodbye to Tokyo and started heading to Kyoto with Zheng Jia - he was still very interested in Kyoto, which often appears in Japanese animations.
Then I spent a day in Kyoto. When I just returned to the hotel, Sun Peng received a call from my second sister...
"In other words, Americans are interested in Frozen?"
Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng asked thoughtfully: "I seem to have heard of that Kaboka Animation Company. It should be pretty good, right?"
"It's not just good, it's very powerful!"
Even through the phone, Sun Peng could feel the helplessness in his second sister's voice.
After a pause, Sun Ya continued: "When I first heard that Kaboka was interested in your picture book, I was shocked. Then after learning about the situation in detail in the past two days, I felt even more...
It’s amazing... Do you know how much the global box office of their last year’s “My Happy World” was? More than 600 million US dollars!”
"Oh, that's pretty awesome!"
After blinking, Sun Peng smiled and nodded.
After Sun Peng finished speaking, the second sister continued: "Although strictly speaking, Kaboka can only rank third among animation companies in the United States, but you must know that there are only three companies in the United States that are capable of producing high-cost animations.
Three, and Kaboka is also a company under the Frank Media Group, with distribution capabilities almost all over the world, which is very powerful!"
"Um."
After nodding, Sun Peng's expression finally became serious.
It’s enough to be able to make excellent and good-looking animations. After all, as long as you are willing to spend money to recruit people and dig up technology, you can always make a high-quality product in a few more years. But what can you rely on to recover the cost of a huge investment? It can only be
With strong distribution capabilities, how much can an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars earn from the U.S. box office alone? What’s more, for animated movies, the sales of other peripheral products are more important. Otherwise, the strength of Japanese animation on the earth is also quite strong, why not
Like Disney animation marketed globally?
Capital, technology, and influence are all indispensable.
Take the current Chinese films as an example. In the early years, even if they were high-quality films, they could not be sold and could only be played domestically. Later, step by step, they regained lost ground in China, and then began to slowly enter Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and then
Europe, South America and other places finally began to counterattack the North American continent. Even so, only two companies barely have the ability to distribute globally, and apart from neighboring countries, only historical masterpieces with huge investments can have this treatment!
As for cartoons?
Don’t talk about how beautiful she is, let’s catch up with Japan first!
So thinking of his far-fetched animated film project, Sun Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sister, if the other party is interested, what conditions do they offer?"
"They want to buy out the rights to "Frozen" at once for two million dollars!"
"impossible!"
After hearing this answer, Sun Peng replied categorically, almost without thinking: "It is impossible to sell it for two million US dollars, not even five million! Tell them that I only accept one way, and that is sharing through all channels.
Including movie box office and various peripherals... No, no! "
After saying a few words, Sun Peng immediately shook his head and overturned his statement.
What kind of movie is the original "Frozen"?
Sun Peng knows very well that this is a box office masterpiece with a global box office of nearly 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, and the Japanese market has reached the top three in history, and it is only 1.3 billion U.S. dollars in the mainland market with less than 300 million yuan. And Sun Peng
Peng also knew that although Bingxue's box office in mainland China was not high, it did not mean that he was unpopular, because he had the most experience when he was raising his niece.
"Frozen" concerts, Frozen books, Elsa and Anna's princess dresses, magic wands, and of course Olaf's dolls, etc., even Disney's ice show, just one ticket costs several
Sun Peng has also seen it, and among all the characters who appeared, the one who received the most applause and cheers was Princess Aisha, no one else!
Two years after its release, "Frozen" brought Disney 3 billion US dollars in revenue, and it continued to earn almost 1 billion US dollars every year...
Would Sun Peng be satisfied with selling off the copyright for such a top IP? Or would he be satisfied with a simple share of the IP?
But his idea made the second sister stunned for a long time, and it took a long time before she finally said: "Well, what do you mean? It's just a picture book, what other conditions do you plan to ask for? Do you mean to keep it for yourself?"
"this……"
Frowning, Sun Peng felt a little numb for a moment.
It's obviously unrealistic to do it yourself, at least not in a short period of time. After all, neither his DreamWorks nor China Animation's level is enough to support a big production like "Frozen" for the time being. But selling it to Kaboka
Sun Peng was reluctant to take the share, after all, he knew the future income of this animation too well...
"Sister, why don't you let me think about it?"
After a moment of silence, Sun Peng smiled bitterly and said: "This news comes too suddenly. Give me a few days to think about it... How about we talk about it after I go back?"
"……All right."
Sun Ya had no choice but to nod and hang up the phone.
"What's wrong? Is this Sister Ya's phone number?"
Sun Peng just put down his phone, and Zheng Jia, who had just finished taking a shower, asked curiously.
"Well, there are companies in the United States that are interested in "Frozen."
Leaning back on the sofa, Sun Peng recounted what they had just talked about, and then said with a smile: "This book "Frozen" was born because of you. How do you think it should be dealt with?"
Giving Sun Peng a blank look, Zheng Jia said angrily: "Are you getting involved with me again? You decide for yourself the book you write! But... you don't even take the commission, so you are so optimistic about the future of this book?"
"
"certainly!"
Grinning, Sun Peng clasped his fingers and said with a smile: "I am absolutely confident in my work. If this book is adapted into animation, it will definitely be the kind that can earn ten yuan or more with one investment! In fact,
If DreamWorks was not too weak and could not do well when cooperating with other large domestic companies, or if it could not be promoted once it was done, I would never consider cooperating with Americans!"
"..."
Seeing her boyfriend's confident look, Zheng Jia was immediately speechless.
Of course, she couldn't understand where Sun Peng's confidence came from, so hearing her boyfriend's words always felt a bit baffling and a fantasy. In Zheng Jia's view, since she couldn't do it herself, she would naturally sell it to others to do it, so why not
Do you have to wait ten or twenty years for him to succeed?
However, Zheng Jia usually did not interfere with Sun Peng's decision in this kind of matter, so he said casually: 'If it doesn't work out, just participate in the investment. It's not like we don't have money anyway. Why don't we spend tens of millions to do it together?"
"Um?"
Sun Peng was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time his eyes gradually brightened!
However, under Zheng Jia's astonished gaze, Sun Peng suddenly picked up the hotel phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is this Mr. Wangyue? ...Yes, I am Sun Peng!"
"I have something to ask you. I wonder if you know about the companies in Japan that are strong in producing animated films? Before I go back to China, I want to find a company to discuss cooperation..."
"Please!"
After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng was immediately greeted by Zheng Jia's shocked question: "Hey, we are obviously negotiating with the Americans about the copyright of "Frozen", why are you asking someone to contact the Japanese animation company for help? Is it possible?
Want to produce with them?”
"Haha, of course not!"
After laughing, Sun Peng shook his head and said: "Although Japanese animation is strong, they are still a little far away from making the "Frozen" I want. But if you don't make "Frozen", you can also do other things.
