Chapter 1375 Zombie Movies Go to Sea

Among the countless film companies in Hong Kong today, there are only two types of people.

One is the person who does not own the copyright of the zombie film, but realizes that the zombie film may have a second spring, so he goes everywhere to buy the copyright of the zombie film;

The other is the person who originally had the copyright of the zombie film, but was bought out by Makino Imaging some time ago.

They are annoyed at the moment. It turns out that Makino Imaging has already prepared. They may have known that the elements of Huaxia Zombies will be popular when they developed the new version of "Plants vs. Zombies Online", so they bought all the copyrights of zombie films in their hands. gone.

The most frustrating thing for this kind of person is that the price given by Muye Yingying can only be regarded as the price of cabbage.

In their opinion, these zombie films are already worthless garbage. Some people are willing to buy them. No matter how much money they pay, they will earn it by themselves, so the price they quoted is really not high.

Moreover, the bad part is that they deliberately adopted the method of packing and selling.

Makino Imaging didn't want those shoddy and shoddy films. Because of the popularity of zombie films at the beginning, there were indeed too many bad films. Even Lin Zhengying himself took a lot of bad films of this type. However, these The film and television company finally waited for a buyer, so they put forward what they thought was harsh requirements.

For example, Uniasia and Makino Imaging wanted to buy the copyright of their "Mr. Zombie" series, and they wanted the cinema rights, TV broadcasting rights, and distribution rights of audio-visual products in all countries and regions except Hong Kong. I want to set a "high price" of 500,000 yuan. After all, it has been almost 20 years since the movie, and in the last ten years, there has not even been an income of 50,000 yuan, so 500,000 yuan is indeed a high price. However, it is It was because there were too many zombie films that could not create value, so Uniasia simply offered a package price, 800,000 yuan and sold all the copyrights of its more than 30 zombie films to Makino Imaging, so Makino Imaging accepted all the tickets. .

Looking at it now, this price is really a loss, and it's lost to my grandma's house!

Those who wanted to buy the copyright of a zombie movie blew up their phones and couldn't find a zombie movie that had not yet sold the copyright, and the answers they got made them vomit blood. The elephant bought it, and it was outrageously cheap!

In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong films were still very influential in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other countries. At that time, distributors in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea often bought Hong Kong copyrights and even snapped up Hong Kong film copyrights. However, Hong Kong films have declined in recent years. It's so powerful that these distributors have rarely set their sights on Hong Kong. However, the new version of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" has been blowing a dazzling wind, and these people have also sensed business opportunities. It turned out that the film and television company with the copyright of zombie films in Hong Kong left only one copyright of the island of Hong Kong. Except for Hong Kong, all the copyrights went into the hands of Makino Image...

Not only the movie copyrights, but also the copyrights of zombie TV series like Zombie Daochang have been swept away by Makino Imaging...

"It's amazing! It's really amazing!" The bosses of countless Hong Kong film companies are scolding Muye Yingying for this malicious sweeping behavior. In their eyes, Muye Yingying's approach is like knowing the plague in advance To be popular, so buy all the drugs as hateful.

However, in Li Mu's eyes, this is what businessmen should do. If you find business opportunities, you must seize them. If you know in advance that a stock will rise without any risk or accident, then you can do it. The most correct thing is to invest all the money you can raise and borrow, and either spend every penny or buy a lot of stocks. This is the most correct way. It's not that he really wants to make a little difference by hyping copyrights. What he wants is to take all the copyrights in his own hands, and then authorize and export them by himself.

Let countless guerrillas fight separately, it is very likely that they will not form a joint force, and even internal friction and interference with each other, it is better to simply gather all the armed forces together to form an army, and then aim in one direction and attack!

Based on this idea, and also based on overseas people's curiosity and attention to the local Chinese culture of China Zombies, Li Mu asked Muye Imaging to release a big news in the global film and television industry: At present, all Hong Kong zombie films are "outside Hong Kong". The copyright of "Country and Regions" is in the hands of Makino Imaging, and among them, there are more than ten top works that had good box office and audience reputation, and these top works can be copyrighted.

At the same time, Makino Imaging also announced that, except for Hong Kong, all non-Hong Kong countries and regions are not allowed to use these films for commercial purposes, otherwise, Makino Imaging will defend its rights to the end.

As soon as the news was announced, Makino Imaging immediately received cooperation intentions from distributors in various countries around the world. What is even more interesting is that the TV stations in the Mainland are crazy to broadcast a large number of zombie movies, which only lasted for less than 48 hours. After the news of Makino Imaging was released, no TV station dared to broadcast these zombie works.

Those TV stations that have just started serializing zombie TV series can only stop broadcasting immediately and replace them with other TV series.

In this era, it is difficult for satellite TV stations to fully respect copyright when they broadcast movies. Most of the movies broadcast on TV, the broadcaster, that is, the TV station, has no copyright. Chaos, whether it is the Hong Kong film industry or Hollywood, there is no way they can take mainland TV stations.

However, these TV stations dare to ignore the copyright issues in the Hong Kong film industry and Hollywood, but they absolutely dare not ignore Makino Technology.

Everyone knows what kind of person Li Mu is. His global influence is so great that people in the media doubt life. If the copyrights of these movies and TV series are in his company's hands, no TV station would dare to touch him. Mouldou, so everyone tacitly stopped the infringement, and then began to look for Makino Imaging to buy the screening rights.

Just from the quotations of major TV stations, you can see how cost-effective this deal is.

Shonan Satellite TV wants the rights to the "Mr. Zombie" series, the "Happy Ghost" series, and the more classic movies such as "One Eyebrow Taoist", "Ghost Fighting Ghost", and "Scaring People", and the price given is 500,000 RMB One, broadcast three times, if it can be broadcast alone, the price can be doubled five times.

Because of Li Mu's influence, zombie films are the only field in China that strictly abides by copyright regulations. The usual solo broadcasts are likely to be infringed by other TV stations, but this time it is impossible. Whoever Muye Imaging authorizes will be able to broadcast exclusively. .

The person in charge of Muye Imaging originally hoped to take this opportunity to talk about the price and try to earn tens of millions or even more from these TV stations across the country in one go, but Li Mu's phone call set a big tone for this batch of copyrights. .

Li Mu asked: The core purpose of this batch of copyright authorization should not be to make money, but to spread and influence. Therefore, for TV stations in mainland China, Taiwan, and Macau, they must not do exclusive licensing for the sake of making money. Do non-exclusive licensing, and reduce the price of copyright use, Li Mu set the price as the first-line works, 50,000 yuan for the one-time broadcast right, 30,000 yuan for second-tier works, 10,000 yuan for third-tier works, and 50 yuan for the second and above works. %.

That is to say, if any TV station, whether it is a satellite TV station or a local city or county TV station, wants to broadcast "Mr. Zombie", then as long as they pay 50,000 yuan for the copyright fee, they can broadcast it once on their own TV station. If you want to play the second time, you need to pay an additional 25,000 yuan.

This price is really low for TV stations, and the threshold is low, which also indicates that more TV stations can broadcast zombie movies more times, which is very good for enhancing this special popular wave. promotion.

As for TV dramas, one only costs 200,000 yuan, which is so cheap that TV stations can't even imagine it.

Compared with the domestic market, Li Mu pays more attention to the foreign market.

This in itself is a cultural output, and it requires publishers all over the world to be responsible for the specific implementation. Therefore, Li Mu's request is that he must not take out all the works at once, which will not only distract attention, but also may cause an overreaction. Now that all the copyrights of zombie films are in my own hands, I can take the high-quality route and take the best "Mr. Zombie" first to test the water. If this film gets a good response, I will go to the second place. department.

A movie from 18 years ago, if you want to have any big gains at the overseas box office, may not sound very likely at first glance, but in view of the current situation, there is still a relatively large room for operation.

First of all, for the western film industry, it is not a summer or Christmas season, the box office is relatively quiet, and the theater resources are not so popular, and there are relatively abundant;

Secondly, it happens that the new version of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" has brought the Chinese zombies to the fire, and most overseas players like this new element;

Once again, Li Mu ordered people to use the material of zombie films on the overseas network to learn about the Chinese zombie culture with other netizens, and used the water army to inquire and guide the interests of netizens, and found that many netizens are still very interested in this Chinese zombie element. Yes, many people have left a message in the comments, mentioning that they hope to have the opportunity to watch such a movie;

Therefore, on the whole, everyone is already interested in this type of movies, and the potential market space is already there, and through such online popular science, everyone knows that these are relatively old movies, and they pay attention to a kind of nostalgia and foreign culture. , exotic, so they should be psychologically prepared for the quality of the picture, and the requirements will not be as high as the new movies of the 21st century. Based on these points, it is promising that zombie movies will go overseas, and they will achieve certain results overseas. The box office results should not be too big of a problem!
