Chapter 2680 Buy More Copyrights

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

Xiao Qi naturally gave him a lot of face. He called Qiao Guoer as soon as the conversation was over, and asked Kiwi Cinemas to fully prepare to support "Avatar".

The Kiwifruit North American theaters and European theaters are all privately owned by Qiao Guoer, of course, regardless of what the management means.

Even if they were doubtful and dissatisfied, they could only do what Qiao Guoer wanted, otherwise they had no choice but to get out.

This kind of unfettered power is also an important reason why Xiao Qi is unwilling to let the main body of Fairy Company go public.

Even if he wants to sell the shares to others, Xiao Qi is more inclined to hold the absolute initiative by himself.

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

After talking with Cameron, Xiao Qi took Du Feixing and walked around the street again. They looked like a pair of ordinary young couples, and it was not at all obvious that they just talked about a billion-dollar deal. Business.

When Cameron and Xiao Qi were discussing business before, Du Feixing didn't intervene, and Cameron didn't even give her much attention. The proprietress of the Fairy Company didn't get angry either, because her personality was very calm.

However, because Xiao Qi's interests are involved, Du Feixing also has some doubts in his heart.

"Husband, can "Avatar" really be like "Titanic", which is ground-breaking?" Du Feixing asked Xiao Qi.

"If there is no big accident, it should be like this." Xiao Qi nodded.

"you saw it?"

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

"I'm going back to China in two days. My mother has been urging me for a long time. I haven't been home for seven or eight months. My grandma is still sick." Du Feixing said softly.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same for us in China." Xiao Qi said, "If I can return to China earlier, I will also go to your house. Visit our grandma too."

Du Fei's heart warmed up, and she quickly kissed Xiao Qi's face, "Thank you ~husband~~"

This is a foreign country, although there are Chinese people on the road. But after all, it's not like in China, so Du Feixing has been making out with Xiao Qi on the street these two days, anyway, there are still many couples doing this, they are just one of them.

Xiao Qi clenched her hands, "Myolie. As for the "The Hunger Games" I just mentioned, you can read the book if you have time. If you are interested, you can play a supporting actress in it in the future." of."

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

"That's fine." Xiao Qi didn't force her, whether his wife went to act in a movie was her interest, so she didn't have to worry about it.

"Is "The Hunger Games" your favorite? It can actually reach the point where Cameron can be hired?" Du Feixing thought of another thing at this moment.

"what do you mean……"

"Cameron is a well-known maniac who exceeds the budget!" Du Feixing looked at her husband, "You still give him no budget limit, if you make one movie worth 100-200 million dollars, and three movies worth 1 billion dollars Cost. Is it going to lose money? "The Hunger Games" is not "Jurassic Park"!"

As a student who graduated from the Film Academy, Du Feixing still has a good understanding of the history of world film development.

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

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

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

"The Hunger Games may not be comparable to Jurassic Park in terms of the price level at that time. But I am very optimistic that its trilogy can also win 2 billion US dollars." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "And coupled with Cameron's excellence, it is not impossible to hit the box office of 3 billion U.S. dollars."

Du Feixing glanced at her husband lightly, but she didn't want to dampen her husband's enthusiasm.

In her opinion. It is already very powerful to reach a global box office of 500 million US dollars, let alone a sequel movie whose box office is not as good as one.

"Jurassic Park" has a powerful gimmick, and it was 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 more unknown. In this regard, 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 seems a bit wasteful.

But since Xiao Qi likes it, Du Feixing will not speak to stop it.

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

"The Hunger Games" itself is good enough and has gimmicks, and Lionsgate Films in the previous life also promoted it very well, so even if 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 novel of "The Hunger Games" basically started after the movie became popular.

Thanks to the efforts of Lionsgate, the box office of the first part of "The Hunger Games" was about 700 million US dollars. One hundred million dollars is surely achievable.

The combined gross of the two films is 1.5 billion US dollars, and the reputation is not bad. No matter how bad the third film is, it will not be less than 500 million US dollars at the box office, right?

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

Being able to break out of so many movies proves that "The Hunger Games" has a good movie connotation, and who can do better than Cameron in this kind of movie that combines science fiction, romance, and action movies it is good?

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

Besides, Du Feixing 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 3D and IMAX screening halls to watch movies, and at the same time bring more box office revenue to theaters, producers, and distributors!

After all, compared with 2D movies, the ticket prices of 3D and IMAX are two or three times higher!

At the beginning, it was very difficult for a movie to break $1 billion at the global box office, but when a large number of 3D and IMAX screens appeared, one comic book hero movie after another was able to be put on the screen, and then a lot of income was obtained. 10 There are endless movies with a box office of 100 million US dollars.

And it all started with "Avatar", which will be released a few days later!

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

So he bought Marvel, taking the biggest slice of the hero movie pie.

Therefore, he also acquired Disney, giving Marvel more room to develop.

Therefore, he also learned from Wanda in the previous life, integrated important movie theaters all over the world, and made the Kiwi movie theaters the number one in the world, laying an important foundation for the Xiao family's film and television empire from the point of view of sales terminals.

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 Films made a move, Xiao Qi entrusted a consulting company in advance and negotiated various rights transfer matters with the author. The cost was less than 10 million U.S. dollars. The price, as well as 1% of the box office and peripheral products, took this series of movies and peripheral products that can earn at least 500 million US dollars into their hands.

"The Twilight Saga" Xiao Qi really wanted to buy it, but unfortunately this book was published in 2005, and it became very popular as soon as it was published. Xiao Qi was developing his own fairy company at that time, so where would he have the time and energy? Going to compete with big Hollywood companies for movie rights?

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 those series of movies that were already making money.

After spending a sky-high price of 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, Xiao Qi bought the copyrights of "Tomb Raider" and "Transformers", and then also won the copyright of "Iron Man" one and two, but this "Iron Man" never The third movie has returned to Disney, and Disney has now become Xiao Qi's company, so Iron Man can be regarded as all in his hands.

In addition, half of the copyright of "Mission: Impossible" in the hands of Paramount was also held by Xiao Qi, and the remaining half was in the hands of Tom Cruise, as the only movie in his hands that could make him regain his glory for a long time. Cruise will never sell it.

Of course, Xiao Qi will not be so harsh to grab the copyright, after all, "Mission: Impossible" would not be called "Mission: Impossible" without Tom Cruise, and only Cruise can make "Mission: Impossible" profitable.

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

But this is not all. Although the privatization of Disney has not been completed yet, Xiao Qi has already given an order to the Disney staff, that is, to collect as many copyrights as possible to buy, and to add more content to his copyright library. cloud.

Don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills.

With more copyrights, the film company can start business easily! (~^~)

PS:  Everyone said that "The Hunger Games" should have a big cousin? In fact, I think Scarlett is pretty good too... However, it would be too much to charge, and this is not an entertainment novel.
