Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2680: Buy more copyrights

Cameron was very busy, and after talking to Xiao Qi, he went back immediately.

Xiao Qi naturally gave him a lot of face. He called Qiao Guoer as soon as he finished talking, and asked Kiwi Cinema to fully prepare to support "Avatar".

Both the North American theater chain and the European theater chain of Kiwifruit are privately owned by Qiao Guoer, of course, regardless of what the management means.

Even if they have doubts and dissatisfaction, they can only do what Qiao Guoer wants, otherwise there is only one way to go.

This unconstrained power is also an important reason why Xiao Qi is unwilling to let the fairy company main body go public.

Even if he wanted to sell shares to others, Xiao Qi was more inclined to take the initiative in his own hands.

After all, there are still too few smart people in this world, and more people only care about their immediate interests, so they don't have the patience to make money in a meticulous way.

After talking with Cameron, Xiao Qi took Du Fei Xing and strolled around the street again. It was like a pair of ordinary young lovers, and it was hard to see that they had just talked about a billion dollars worth of money. business.

When Cameron and Xiao Qi were discussing business before, Du Fei Xing did not interrupt, and Cameron didn't even look at her very much. The proprietress of the fairy company was not angry because her personality was inherently light.

However, because Xiao Qi's interests were involved, Du Feixing also had some doubts in his mind.

"Husband, can "Avatar" really be as shocking as "Titanic"?" Du Fei asked Xiao Qi.

"If there were no big accidents, it should be like this." Xiao Qi said with his jaws.

"you saw it?"

"Well, but you haven't watched it. I'll watch it with you when it's released."

"I will be returning to China in two days. My mother has urged me for a long time. I haven't returned home for seven or eight months. My grandma is still a little sick." Du Feixing said softly.

"That's okay, we also see it in China." Xiao Qi said, "If I can return to China earlier, I will go to your house too. Visit our grandma too."

Du Fei warmed her heart and quickly kissed Xiao Qi on the face, "Thank you~husband~~"

This is a foreign country, although there are also Chinese on the road. But after all, it's not like a domestic one, so Du Feixing has not been intimacy with Xiao Qi in the street in the past two days. Anyway, there are many couples who do this. They are just one of them.

Xiao Qi squeezed her jade hand, "Myolie. For the "Hunger Games" I just mentioned, you can read the book if you have time. If you are interested, you can still play a supporting actress in it. of."

"I don't want to act in movies anymore, at least before I give birth to my first baby." Du Feixing refused without thinking.

"All right." Xiao Qi didn't force her. Whether his wife went to act in a movie or not, that was her interest, so she didn't need to worry about it.

"Is "The Hunger Games" you are very optimistic about? Can actually reach the point of inviting Cameron?" Du Fei remembered another thing at this time.

"what do you mean……"

"Cameron is a famous madman with over budget!" Du Fei Xing looked at her husband, "You give him a cap without a budget. If this is to make a one-two-billion-dollar film, three billion-dollar filmings. Cost. Is that going to lose money? "The Hunger Games" is not "Jurassic Park"!"

As a student who graduated from the film school, Du Feixing is still very familiar with the history of world film development.

No matter from which point of view, "Jurassic Park" is the top film series, but its high box office and high production costs are also directly proportional.

The box office of the "Jurassic Park" trilogy is 2 billion US dollars, and the production cost is only about 300 million US dollars.

"The Hunger Games" trilogy not to mention the box office results, as long as it is an action movie, with Cameron's character of excellence, it is absolutely impossible to be less than 300 million US dollars.

"In terms of the price level at the time, "The Hunger Games" may not be comparable to "Jurassic Park". But I am very optimistic that its trilogy can also score 2 billion US dollars." Xiao Qi smiled. "Plus, with Cameron's excellence, the box office of three billion dollars is not impossible."

Du Fei Xing gave her husband a light glance, but didn't want to discourage her husband's enthusiasm.

In her opinion. A global box office of 500 million U.S. dollars is already very impressive, not to mention a sequel movie that is not as good as a box office.

"Jurassic Park" has a powerful gimmick. It is written by the most famous modern science fiction writer in the United States. She has never heard of "The Hunger Games", and the author is even less well-known. In this respect, it is much worse.

Although my husband is very rich, it is not a problem at all to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, but it also seems a bit wasteful.

But since Xiao Qi liked it, Du Feixing would not speak to stop it.

Xiao Qi saw Meijiao's wife's expression in his eyes and smiled unconsciously.

"The Hunger Games" itself is good enough and gimmicky, and the Lionsgate Films in the past life has also promoted it very well, so even the novels of "The Hunger Games" are not so popular, the movies of "The Hunger Games" are also It quickly captured people's hearts-well, in fact, the best-selling novels of "The Hunger Games" basically started after the movie became popular. Even if it was, it wasn't that popular.

Thanks to the efforts of Lionsgate, the box office of the first film of "The Hunger Games" was around 700 million U.S. dollars, and the second film was released in November 2013, and it has been in a turbulent way. Although Xiao Qi in his previous life did not see the final box office, 8 100 million dollars is surely reachable.

The two films add up to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the reputation is good. No matter how bad the third one is, it won’t be less than 500 million U.S. dollars in box office, right?

Not to mention that this time he invited Cameron. With his understanding and control of science fiction and action movies, it is not impossible to increase the box office by 30%!

Being able to break the siege among so many movies itself proves that the movie connotation of "The Hunger Games" is very good, and this kind of movie that combines science fiction, love, and action movies, who can do better than Cameron it is good?

Especially this time after "Avatar" once again helped Cameron dominate the world, Cameron has become the king of the movie world. "The Hunger Games" directed by him has the potential to conquer everyone!

Besides, Du Fei Xing still doesn't know, or most people don't know, how prosperous 3D and IMAX movies will be in the future.

Better viewing effects and better viewing experience make everyone tend to go to the 3D and IMAX theaters to watch movies. At the same time, it will bring more box office income to theaters, producers and distributors!

After all, compared with 2D movies, 3D and IMAX fares are two or three times higher!

At the beginning, it was very difficult for a movie to exceed 1 billion US dollars in the global box office. But when a large number of 3D and IMAX screens appeared, one after another comic hero movies could be put on the screen, and then a large amount of income was obtained. Movies with billions of dollars in the box office are emerging in endlessly.

And the beginning of all this is in the "Avatar" released a few days later!

Xiao Qi's mind is not in entertainment, but he still knows the trend of movies in the next few years.

So he bought Marvel and won the biggest piece of cake in the hero movie.

Therefore, he also acquired Disney, giving Marvel more room for development.

Therefore, he also studied the Wanda of the previous life, integrated important movie theater lines in the world, and made the kiwi movie theater line the world's number one, laying an important foundation for the Xiao family's film and television empire from the point of sale terminal.

Apart from these three most important acquisitions, Xiao Qi also acquired some good copyrights in his spare time.

"The Hunger Games" is one of them. Before Lionsgate did not start, Xiao Qi commissioned a consulting company in advance before publication, and negotiated with the author about various rights transfer matters, which cost less than 10 million U.S. dollars. The price, as well as 1% of the box office and peripheral share, brought this series of movies and peripheral products that can earn at least $500 million in hands.

"Twilight" Xiao Qi also wanted to buy it, but unfortunately this book was published in 2005, and it became a big hit when it was published. Xiao Qi was developing his own fairy company at that time. Where can I have the time and energy? Going to grab movie rights with major Hollywood companies?

However, apart from "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight", it seems that in the next few years, apart from the hero series, there will be no new good series of movies in Hollywood.

So Xiao Qi turned his attention to the series of movies that were already making money.

Through the sky-high price of 1.6 billion US dollars, Xiao Qi bought the copyrights of "Tomb Raider" and "Transformers", and then also won the copyright of one or two "Iron Man", but this "Iron Man" from Since the third part has returned to Disney, Disney has now become Xiao Qi's company, so Iron Man can be considered all.

In addition ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Half of the copyright of "Mission Impossible" in Paramount's hands has also been held by Xiao Qi, and the remaining half is in the hands of Brother Tom, as the only one who can make himself heavy Zhen Xiongfeng's movies are not sold for a long time.

Of course, Xiao Qi would not be so harsh to grab the copyright. After all, "Mission Impossible" would not be called "Mission Impossible" without Brother Atang, and only Brother Atang could make "Mission Impossible" make money.

With so many copyright acquisitions in hand, Xiao Qi finally has a foundation for his first expansion.

But this is not all. Although Disney’s privatization has not yet been completed, Xiao Qi has already given an order to Disney’s personnel to collect as much copyright as possible to buy, and add more content to his copyright library. Yun.

Skills are not overwhelming.

Film companies can only start their business if they have more copyrights! (To be continued.)

PS: Everyone said that "The Hunger Games" should be played by a big cousin? In fact, I think Scarlett is also pretty good... But it would be too much if you take it again. This is not an entertainment novel.
