Rise of the Richest Man Reborn

to be honest,

Those who are truly knowledgeable are suspicious that behind Universal Pictures, there are mainland officials, and related technological research and innovations are also supported by mainland's secret technical team.

Now hearing that Lu Yixuan was so straightforward, he dared to sell all the copyrights of "Resident Evil" for a price of one trillion yen.

how to say!

Such a decision is really not like the attitude a successful businessman should have.

"Resident Evil" + iMax giant screen theater technology, this has become the most amazing combination in the industry today.

Regardless of other things, with the current box office momentum, how much money can this "Resident Evil" make in the world?

In one day, 360 million yen in revenue can be generated. After one year, just one iMax giant screen theater in Osaka can generate 3000 billion yen in revenue. Sony AV also has four iMax giant screens that are being debugged and transformed. Calculated in this way, five theaters will be built in the future. The iMax giant screen theater is opened at the same time, and the box office of [-] billion yen a year is not a problem at all!

So……

Do you really want to make a decision to buy all the copyrights of "Resident Evil"?

Chapter 706 Ten Years, One Trillion

Chapter 706 Ten Years, One Trillion

Akio Morita pondered. He didn't believe that Universal Pictures would let go of an IP with such a huge market potential.

No, to be precise, Huaxia officials will give up a new industry so easily?

Could there be some traps that I couldn't see through?

Although one trillion yen is exaggerated enough, for the current Sony Corporation, it is still possible to get such a large sum of money by gritting its teeth and squeezing.

and,

If the copyright of "Resident Evil" is completely in hand, Sony AV's previous series of investments, the development of the so-called one-billion-dollar big IP derivative expansion project, if it is done now, it will no longer be a marriage for others. Clothes, a lot of resource investment in the early stage is tantamount to paving the way for the parent company.

The temptation of huge market prospects is really not everyone can withstand it.

In business, a market without risk will never be a competitive market, and it will be a pseudo-market that will soon decline.

After straightening out his thoughts, Akio Morita said:

"So, Lu Sang, can you be the master of this matter? I mean, one trillion yen to buy all the copyrights of the "Resident Evil" series?

Do you really have full authority to make a decision on this matter? "

Lu Yixuan smiled and said: "Of course, the old man should be very clear that the original novel of "Resident Evil" was written by my sister Lu Yixue. I own all the film and television adaptation copyrights of this novel. There is no problem with this."

Akio Morita sighed: "So... can we celebrate with champagne now?"

"Can't!"

Lu Yixuan said categorically: "I can make the decision and buy the film and television copyright to Sony. However, I still hope that I can confirm the scope of the copyright concept with the old man."

Akio Morita showed a relieved attitude.

If Lu Yixuan agreed decisively just now, he really needs to think carefully about what kind of commercial trap is hidden behind it.

Now, ha ha... More than half of it, the other party is not satisfied with the harvest of one trillion yen!

"If Lu Sang wants to confirm the details, please feel free to tell me."

"First, the publishing rights of the novel "Resident Evil" will not be transferred. It will belong to Ms. Lu Yixue forever. There is no room for negotiation on this point. Can the old man agree?"

"The publishing rights of the works belong to Ms. Lu Yixue forever. There is nothing wrong with that, I agree."

"Second, the copyright of this transaction is limited to the film and television copyright of "Resident Evil".

In addition, I would like to make a special statement that the authorization period for film and television copyright transactions is only ten years. After the authorization expires, if you are still interested in renewing the contract, we will discuss it at that time.I can assure you that as a partner, you will have the priority to renew the contract for life. "

Akio Morita became serious.

This second requirement really made him feel the business acumen of this Huaxia youth.

The copyright buyout fee of one trillion yen is actually only ten years of film and television development rights.

It seems that the other party is not unaware of the huge commercial potential of the combination of "Resident Evil" and the iMax giant screen theater. Under the premise of obtaining certain benefits, time is exchanged for future development space.

It seems that Huanyu Pictures' appetite in the film and television industry is really not ordinary.

Thinking of this, Akio Morita thought he had caught Lu Yixuan's pain point.

He said:

"Ten years is too short, at least 20 years will be enough. In addition, if it is only limited to the buyout of six film and television copyrights, the price of one trillion yen is a bit high.

20-year authorization period, 5000 billion yen copyright buyout fee, what does Lu Sang think? "

"Old man, don't forget, this also includes the patent licensing fee for the iMax giant screen theater technology, [-] trillion yen, ten years, really not much.

There is only one iMax giant screen theater in Osaka. The most conservative estimate is that there are currently four screenings per day, which directly brings in box office revenue of [-] million yen per day.

If according to our previous box office betting agreement,

In the near future, 85% of the box office revenue will belong to Universal Pictures.

I don't need to sell the copyright of film and television, it is also a big business that can make a profit without losing money.

Huanyu Pictures chose to sell the film and television copyright at this time, which has actually given away a lot of profits. What do you think, old man? "

"15-year authorization period! During the authorization period, except for Sony AV's exclusive film and television copyright development, all other related derivative copyright development must be confirmed by Sony AV first, and Sony AV expressly waives it before you can negotiate and cooperate with other third parties. .”

Morita Akio set out new conditions.

This old fox is really cunning enough. He is afraid that the market will be fattened up in the next ten years. At that time, the two companies will not be able to agree on a new contract renewal and cooperation.

Lu Yixuan smiled and said: "Ten years is long enough, or if the old man is worried, let's keep the other conditions unchanged, how about buying out 15 years of film and television copyright for [-] trillion yen? The old man is betting on the future market. Why don't you bet on tomorrow with today's profits at your fingertips, don't you think?"

Akio Morita laughed loudly: "Lu Sang is really a dragon and a phoenix. As you said, the ten-year period will cost one trillion yen to buy out the film and television copyright. In addition, Sony Audio and Video will exclusively enjoy the iMax giant screen technology patent for the next ten years. , Universal Pictures shall not authorize it to other third parties."

"make a deal!"

"happy!"

One old and one young, two foxes held hands together.

In the next few days, Lu Yixuan and his group suddenly became extremely busy, and the Sony AV side also became in a hurry like burning their buttocks.

It was very difficult to establish the details of the contract.

Both parties dispatched the most professional legal teams to participate in the establishment of the contract.

However, even though the teams from both sides compete fiercely, the relevant news has always been tightly blocked from the outside world.

In the past few days, the iMax giant screen theater in Osaka has been a great success.

Dongsang people's meticulous and streamlined standardization skills in the process of operating specific affairs are fully demonstrated.

The current Osaka iMax giant screen theater only arranges four shows every day.

According to the arrangement process at the Hong Kong Hung Hom venue, even if there are four games a day, it must be at least [-] hours away from morning to night, and the end time of each night must exceed [-] o'clock in the evening.

However, the duration of the four performances at the iMax giant screen theater in Osaka only lasted [-] hours, and it was guaranteed to end early before [-] o'clock at night.

The popularity of "Resident Evil" in Dongsang's country really surpassed Xiangjiang's by many times.

Since the opening of the Lunar New Year festival at the beginning of the year, although the Hung Hom iMax Giant Screen Theater still has two scheduled shows, the attendance rate has been significantly lower than before.

At the beginning, it was limited to the fact that VIP seats with super high prices could not be sold.

After entering May in a blink of an eye, the attendance rate of ordinary ticket seats has also begun to drop to [-]% to [-]%.

The iMax giant screen theater in Osaka is really unusual. The ticket price is obviously more than double that of Hong Kong Hung Hom. However, the pre-sale of tickets has already been scheduled for a week later.

You know, here in Osaka, each show can hold more than [-] spectators, which is directly four times the crowd of Xiangjiang Hung Hom.

With this abnormal level of box office gold-absorbing ability, it has easily won nearly 30 billion yen in less than a week.

The huge and long-lasting ability to absorb money at the box office, in turn, has also accelerated the process of the final conclusion of the contract between the two parties.

Ten years, one trillion yen in copyright licensing fees.

On this day, when this news was announced to the outside world, the global film and television industry suddenly felt like a tsunami, like a big earthquake.

Universal Pictures took one trillion yen, but directly gave up ten years of development time for a super emerging market.

Crazy!

Chapter 707 Under the Fame

Chapter 707 Under the Fame

One trillion yen, according to the current foreign currency exchange rate, is almost more than 50 billion US dollars.

Such a huge amount of wealth can be described as "wealthy as an enemy", and this is really a shocking event that makes people inside and outside the industry go crazy.

Of course, when it comes to such a huge amount of funds, it is impossible for Sony Corporation to pay so much money at once after signing the contract. .

There are many constraints on how the two parties negotiate to deliver in batches within a ten-year period.

Roughly a rhythm, [-] million US dollars is delivered every year, and then there are many mutual constraints between the two parties.

In a word, after all, it is a top-level big business involving trillions of yen. It is impossible for the two parties to simply pay the money and deliver the goods. There are still many exemption conditions that allow both parties to go back on their word.

Anyway, the interests of the two companies are still tied together.

But even so, after this big deal was announced to the public, it still had an earth-shattering impact on the global film and television industry.

The two companies did not disclose more relevant inside information to the outside world.

The only thing that can be confirmed inside and outside the industry is that Sony AV has finally monopolized the iMax giant-screen theater technology by virtue of its capital strength, becoming a unicorn beyond the entire industry, and becoming the overlord of the emerging market of iMax giant-screen theater.

On the contrary, Universal Pictures, the company that took the lead in innovatively developing iMax giant screen cinema technology, gave up the market.

All of a sudden, various rumors inside and outside the industry became flying all over the sky.

There are all sorts of bizarre claims.

However, as the saying goes, peers are enemies.

Faced with such an astonishing result, the vast majority of people tend to believe that this is Universal Pictures, which cannot withstand the huge competitive pressure of Sony Video, so it is very wise to choose the road of succumbing to cooperation. Survive under the wings of Sony Corporation, the industry giant.

but also,

The turbulent situation after the successful test screening of the iMax giant screen in the Osaka Stadium is too amazing.

A movie theater and a movie can rake in a huge box office of [-] million yen every day.

Such an amazing box office revenue-generating ability is unparalleled in the world, and it is nearly ten times more exaggerated than Hong Kong Hung Hom at the beginning of the year.

With such astonishing profits, how can Sony AV, with its greedy instincts, give away more than half of the profits?

Universal Pictures is now completely at the end of letting wolves into the house.

The film and television industry is noisy.

However, there are almost no truly valuable voices.

On the contrary, many former opponents took pleasure in watching Universal Pictures being raped by a giant like Sony AV.

The iMax giant screen at the Hung Hom Stadium has been suspended.

The copyright of "Resident Evil" was strongly bought out by Sony AV for trillions of yen. After the first buyout fee of [-] million U.S. dollars arrived, the first small move of Sony AV was to decisively stop the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium. Eligibility for the release of "Resident Evil".

no way.

The commercial competition of capitalists is so naked and greedy.

The box office profit of "Resident Evil" at the iMax giant screen theater in Hung Hom is far lower than that of Osaka. Now the copyright is owned by Sony AV. In order to ensure the maximum profit at the box office, it is normal for the other party to make such a small move.

It's just that Sony Video is so greedy for appearances, it will inevitably leave a bad impression in the hearts of Xiangjiang citizens.

Although there are not many citizens now, no matter how eager and urgent they are, they are going to Hung Hom to experience the iMax giant screen!

Many citizens even made up their minds that they must wait until the ticket price in Hung Hom is lowered, and then enter the venue to enjoy it.

But now, being stopped by Sony Video and Video, they have no thoughts at all. These groups who have not yet had the opportunity to enter the venue will inevitably become a little angry.

As far as they are concerned, it is clear that Sony AV has deprived them of their rights.

Although now, it has been more than three months since "Resident Evil" was released in Hong Kong Hung Hom...
