Chapter 854: The Plan Behind It

Back in his office, Alain Ryder had barely sat down when someone knocked on the door and entered.

From the casual attitude of this man, you can know that his status in 20th century Fox must have been very high, and then he had a very good relationship with Alain Ryder.

"Well, what are they talking about?" the man asked, sitting across from Alain Ryder, with interest.

"Spring, you're too anxious. Alain Ryder said with a smile.

"How can I not be anxious? They are talking about Disney and United Arts!" The man named Spring said excitedly, "Originally, United Arts Film Company has declined, and it has long been the one on the tail, but this time Yin Jun tied United Arts and Disney together, and their strength increased all of a sudden, no worse than our 20th Century Fox, how can I not care?"

As vice president of 20th Century Fox, Spring, who is in charge of operations, was also a high school and college classmate of Alain Ryder, and one of his best friends.

When Alain Ryder took over from 20th Century Fox, the only man he took with him was this good friend.

Spring's did not disappoint him, and in the past few years, he has been diligent, working hard to expand the strength of 20th Century Fox, and not letting go of every opportunity to increase his influence.

"It has been decided that we will join forces to suppress the Kirin Group. Alain Ryder told his good friend in detail about the meeting.

"Do you think this will completely suppress the Kirin Film Company?" Spolin asked his friend amusefully.

"Why not?" asked Alain Ryder.

"Lei Shidong. "This guy is on the East Coast right now, but he has a lot of prestige, and it's not a problem to build a cinema chain of more than 500 movie theaters." New York alone is enough to hit the box office! With the channels of United Arts and Disney, at least they can get 2,000 movie theaters and more than 2,500 screens, right?

"It's not the same. Alan Ryder said, "The channel is only one aspect, and more importantly, "Superman 2", such a movie that is destined to be a big hit at the box office, has the support given by Warner Bros., and the publicity support given by several major media companies has greatly increased their momentum. Not to mention that Yin Jun used almost all of the people from Xiangjiang this time.

I can't think of anything that can't be suppressed compared with a national hero with a deep foundation in the United States, a big-budget movie that is strongly supported by Hollywood, and a movie from Xiangjiang where the protagonist is very unfamiliar to Americans, and even the story, plot, and viewing feeling are completely different. ”

Spring's agreement with this is a little, "I don't know how Yin Jun did it, the last part of "Police Detective School" was so successful, this time let's follow this path, find a few European and American movie stars, and use his script to package it like this, won't it continue to be successful?"

Alan Ryder nodded, "Maybe it's because after success, it will swell! There are too many people like this, not to mention people like Yin Jun, who have never failed since their debut." ”

"What we discussed last time ......" Springling suddenly lowered his voice, "If Yin Jun fails, we will immediately bet heavily and start "Jurassic Park", will there be hope?"

Jun is Yin Jun's thing, and it's no secret for a long time.

As early as when Yin Jun wrote songs for Deng Lijun, everyone already knew about it, and the second author who translated for Yin Jun was the president of Kirin Culture America Branch.

Film companies have always had a special preference for such bestsellers, especially those with potential for adaptation.

Stephen King's and Michael Clayton's are the most typical representatives.

Now there is another Jun who has sprung up, that is, Yin Jun.

"Jurassic Park", "The Da Vinci Code", "Forrest Gump", "A Song of Ice and Fire", "World of Warcraft".

So far, Yin Jun has only written these five books, but that alone is enough to make him the world's top best-selling author.

The most powerful "Jurassic Park", with its wonderful imagination and fascinating storyline, has now broken 40 million copies worldwide, and it is far from stopping.

"A Song of Ice and Fire" has also begun to become more and more fierce recently, although it is only the first "Game of Thrones" published, but Yin Jun's magnificent imagination in it, unexpected various settings, huge world view, and as many as 100 characters...... And so on, so that people who like to watch magical literature can't stop it.

Many fans over the age of 40 said that "A Song of Ice and Fire" reminded them of the superhero "The Lord of the Rings" of the year.

It is also the promotion of this group of adults that has made "Game of Thrones" go all the way, and the sales volume has exceeded 20 million copies, and there is a great tendency for latecomers to prevail.

Needless to say, the sales of books are concerned, and Hollywood companies care about whether they can adapt these bestsellers into movies and make a lot of money.

Every film company has done research on Yin Jun's bestsellers.

The most optimistic thing about 20th Century Fox is actually the suspenseful "The Da Vinci Code".

But everyone knows that Spielberg, another superdirector, is a die-hard fan of "Jurassic Park", and he has expressed his desire to bring "Jurassic Park" to the screen on countless occasions.

Even people know that Spielberg and Yin Jun have talked face-to-face several times, but they have never received a single answer.

You know, Yin Jun is Spielberg's friend!

What even Spielberg can't do, Hollywood giants may not be able to do if they ask themselves.

Therefore, after being rejected one after another, everyone gradually put aside the problem for the time being, and prepared to wait until the opportunity to launch an offensive.

Just recently, when Spolin found out that Michael Eisner wanted to target Yin Jun, he told Alain Ryder that if Yin Jun was in trouble, he would be a very great victory if he lured Yin Jun to sell the movie rights to "Jurassic Park" with a high price of shares.

This not only means that 20th Century Fox will have a good collection brand, but more importantly, it can break the monopoly of Spielberg in the world.

You say to Spielberg, come to 20th Century Fox, let's do "Jurassic Park" together.

Come to think of it, will Spielberg come?

It's definitely coming!

As long as there is a cooperation and the beginning of cooperation, are you afraid that you will not be able to cooperate with this director who can bring super high box office income in the future?

Alain Ryder was also very interested when he heard this, so he also actively joined in the suppression of Yin Jun.

Hearing Spring's words again, Alain Ryder nodded slightly, "I don't know, but we can give it a try." ”

"I think Yin Jun is a greedy person, or a very controlling. "It's probably not that easy for us to just give away some box office revenues." If it really doesn't work, we can also make some concessions on peripheral products and derivative interests. It's all for the future!"

Alain Ryder smiled, "Do you need to give such conditions from the beginning?

"No, a business like this, if you can succeed once, you can succeed, if you want to procrastinate about the conditions, according to Yin Jun's temper, it is very likely to ignore us completely. "I've studied this man, and he has the pride of a man of letters, and he would never allow such a low-cost insult." If we are looking forward to success, it is better to talk directly about it on the best terms. ”

Last time, the company's investment forecasting department estimated the box office of the big movie "Jurassic Park" that if Spielberg was at the helm and given enough special effects support, it was likely that the box office would exceed $600 million and become another blockbuster super production. But they only analyzed it from the movie, but forgot that there is also a part of peripheral products.

Think about the Transformers owned by Yin Jun, and the hundreds of millions of dollars in pure profits brought to him every year! Such a powerful money-absorbing weapon is where Yin Jun's confidence lies in daring to go on such a brazen rampage in Hollywood! If we can make "Jurassic Park" the second Transformers series, how much more will the income we get than $3.5 billion?

Alain Ryder agrees with this statement.

This good friend of his, who is definitely more sensitive to the market than himself.

The follow-up peripherals of "Jurassic Park" do have the possibility of a big hit.

At this point, the company's investment forecasting department is not unsightly, but they are more conservative and do not consider this as a special project.

In other words, at the time of negotiation, this project was not worth the money that 20th Century Fox paid for, and of course, they deserved it for free.

Yin Jun is a smart person, even Michael Eisner will not deny this.

So Alain Ryder agrees more with his friend.

If you can't get him the first time, then the chances of haggling for a deal later are slim to none.

"But if we give him so much, won't he be a tiger with wings?" said Alain Ryder.

"Do you think that people like Yin Jun can be suppressed if we want to?" Springs said, "Needless to say, when the release of "." in June, you will know what a magical screenwriter he is! With this skill, coupled with such an overwhelming advantage in Asia, and a huge family fortune that is enough to match this strength, how can he be suppressed by us and unable to turn over?"

Faced with Spring's prediction, Alain Ryder groaned.

When it comes to a project that could eventually reach more than a billion dollars, he can't help but think about it seriously.

The foundation of 20th Century Fox is not as strong as that of several other companies, so when making decisions, you must not be rash, which will bring great disastrous results to the company.

How Lianyi Film Company went bankrupt, everyone can see it clearly and take it as a warning.

After a while, he finally made a decision, "Then, let's wait for "." to come out, and then make plans! If the box office is a big hit, we are immediately ready to give Yin Jun the best price and win the copyright of "Jurassic Park" in one fell swoop!"

Alain Ryder didn't say what would have happened if "." had failed.

A film project that can make Spielberg so optimistic will definitely not fail miserably, at least at least relying on the box office alone to pay off.

It's just a matter of how much money you can make in the end.

However, if the box office of "." is not as big a hit as expected, and the conditions are reduced, it is also inevitable.

Hollywood......

No, that's the reality all over the world!
