Chapter 948: undercurrent

Xiao Yunhai saw George’s wonderful performance on TV, and couldn’t help but smile at Zhao Wanqing:
My wife, when the next movie is filmed, I must ask this George to play a role. Take a look at the pitiful look of others, plus that order. The moving lines are simply amazing. The Oscars are not as good as him."
Zhao Wanqing chuckled and said with a smile: "Husband, can you not hurt your words. How to say, she is also an old man in her fifties."
Xiao Yunhai said disdainfully: "It should be said that it is an old fox. Hmph, this George is a cannibalistic guy in Hollywood. He is notoriously stingy and cunning. Otherwise, the Hollywood companies wouldn't let him serve as a hospital. General manager of the line."
Zhao Wanqing said: "It seems that the entertainment industry is about to become lively. In this posture, it is estimated that the battle between film companies and theaters will not be decided in a short time."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "It's not necessarily. Don't look at what Li Rongguang said is very decisive, but in fact it is just being stubborn. Hehe, how can a few theaters want to resist the government's will by their own strength. Let them make trouble, anyway, no matter who loses or wins, it's good for us."
Zhao Wanqing was taken aback, and asked in a puzzled way: "If the ratio is changed, it seems that you, a theater shareholder, will have a significant income loss. How can it be beneficial to us?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Think about it. If the film company wins, then they will definitely feel comfortable and boldly shoot movies. At that time, there will definitely be many crews using our magic and fantasy as special effects, and we can still make money."
Although those big companies have their own special effects teams, there is a big gap between them in terms of professionalism, ability, and efficiency. Therefore, most film companies often use magical teams when shooting blockbuster films.
Zhao Wanqing scolded with a smile: "You are a real old fox. Next, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "This morning, my uncle called me and asked me to take advantage of the winter vacation to quickly hand over "Transformers" to their TV station. You know, our "Transformers" is popular in Europe and America. It’s a mess. The news has spread to China a long time ago. Uncle can wait until this time to say that he is very patient."
The first "Transformers" has a total of 56 episodes, and it was broadcasted in the United States long ago. The highest ratings reached 19%, which completely defeated all the animations of the same period including "Cat and Mouse". Let Thrall earn a lot of money.
Seeing that the American children strongly demanded the TV station to broadcast it again, Thrall had to discuss with Raul and wanted to buy the broadcasting rights for the second round.
But Xiao Yunhai did not collect cash, but asked Raul to ask him for 50% of the advertising costs, otherwise Marvel Comics would no longer cooperate with Thrall's TV station.
Thrall was very angry about this and complained to Xiao Yunhai many times, but Xiao Yunhai just didn't let go.
Because he heard Raul said that the first "Transformers" made Thrall earn 330 million U.S. dollars in advertising costs. Of course, Xiao Yunhai was unwilling to be taken advantage of. All the benefits let Thrall go.
Seeing that Marvel Comics has been negotiating with mmc TV station, but there is no agreement, many TV stations can't sit still, and they called Raul one after another, hoping to cooperate together.
Regarding this, Thrall was very anxious, but in the end he couldn't help but had to sign the contract.
He knows very well that Xiao Yunhai's TV series are broadcasted on China TV, and all of them require advertising expenses.
The reason why I sold the rights to the first round of "Transformers" to myself was because the animation was not well-known at that time.
Now "Transformers" is popular all over the United States, and even TV stations in European countries are broadcasting. If you don't give up the advertising costs, you will definitely get nothing.
After Sal got the right to broadcast the second round, he immediately broadcast it. The ratings are still hot and messy, and Marvel Comics is naturally making a lot of money.
In addition to cartoons, cartoons have also sold 60 million copies in Europe and America, with a profit of 320 million US dollars.
Toys are even more powerful, with more than 10 million sets sold and a profit of 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, still in short supply.
Zhao Wanqing heard Xiao Yunhai talk about the "Transformers" sales in Europe and the United States, and said: "At the beginning we made a bet that if the sales exceeded 50 million copies, then I would unconditionally agree to your request. Now you win. , Come on, what do you want me to do?"
Xiao Yunhai showed a fascinated expression on his face, and said with a smile, "I will wait until the child is born."
Zhao Wanqing refused without even thinking about it, and said, "You must say it now, or else the bet will be cancelled."
Xiao Yunhai said, "My wife, you did it on purpose. We can't be so silly, okay?"
Zhao Wanqing said triumphantly: "I don't care. Anyway, I have asked you to make a request. If you don't mention it, then you give up automatically."
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and leaned to her ear, saying, "You asked me to say this. My request is very simple. In the second half of the year, every night you have to..."
Zhao Wanqing's face was almost turned into a big apple, grabbing Xiao Yunhai's ear, and cursing: "You stinky rascal, let's see how I can clean you up."
Xiao Yunhai repeatedly said not to dare.
While Xiao Yunhai was playing with Zhao Wanqing, there was an undercurrent surging in Hollywood.
In a conference room of the Four Seasons Hotel, dozens of CEOs of Hollywood small and medium film companies gathered together to discuss matters.
A white middle-aged man pointed to the newspaper on the table and said,
Everyone should have seen it. In order to change the box office quota system, China’s major film companies have already held a press conference. There is no room for change. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. The main reason for the failure of the first three times is that some of us have forgotten the benefits, regardless of the overall situation, which has caused us to be oppressed by the theater for five years. , The loss of money is countless. Today, we gather again, and still have only one purpose, that is, like China, strive to achieve a suitable profit ratio. Let’s talk about it, what should we do?"
The name of the person speaking is Rodriguez, who is the boss of Hollywood's Eighth Big, no, the most famous Flame Film Company outside of the Nine, and his prestige is very high.
The first three times, he was one of the planners, but unfortunately all ended in failure.
This morning, when he saw dozens of film companies in China’s other side of the ocean resisting the unfair profit quotas of the theaters at the same time, he couldn't help being overjoyed. It took him an afternoon to make Hollywood have a good face, but was bullied by the theaters. The heads of the small and medium-sized enterprises gathered to prepare for the fourth attack to fight with the colleagues of China.
An old man with white hair and glasses took a deep sip of his cigar and said: "Rodriguez, are you sure that Huaxia has done it? You know that entertainment news is sometimes unreliable."
Rodriguez shook his phone and said, "Mr. Harvey, this afternoon, through some connections, I contacted Mr. Shen Le of Yuele Film and Television Company and talked with him for half an hour. He told me that Huaxia is there. The chance of success is more than 90%."
"Really? Is Huaxia Peer so good?"
"Aren't you kidding us."
.....
Harvey waved his hand, interrupted the discussion, and continued to ask: "What ratio do they want?"
Rodriguez said: "The first week ~EbookFREE.me~ the next week is 40:60, the third week is 30:70, and the last is 20:80. I think this ratio not only guarantees our interests, but also takes into account. The interests of the theater are very suitable."
Harvey smiled and said, "I also think it's appropriate. If this is the case, it will definitely benefit our film production company without any harm. At least I dare to invest in a blockbuster film and try it."
Others also echoed.
A boss suddenly said: "Mr. Rodriguez, can you get in touch with Mr. Shen Le from China again? We have a lot to ask."
Rodriguez smiled and said, "Of course."
