898. Directing attack(1/4)

In the business car, Xu Xin was stunned:

"The French want to buy copyright?"

"right."

"Do you know this FILM A2 company Brother Qi?"

"I don't understand. But this has nothing to do with the company's strength, right? What they want is a remake copyright and a French version."

Although "Perfect Stranger" is paid by Yuntu, considering Philip's factor, Xu Xin and him still share the profit by 25% together. At the same time, the several actors each have a box office share of 2%.

Xu Xin is not a person who eats alone.

If you have money, let’s make money together.

However, the copyright actors are not divided, only him, Philip, and Yuntu.

When Xu Xin heard the price of "one million", he looked at the time.

It was around 4 pm and it was placed in Italy at around 9 am.

"I'll reply to you later, Brother Qi."

"It's OK."

When the phone hung up, he said directly to Jesmin, who was sitting next to him:

"Jesse, France wants to buy the copyright of the movie, I want to discuss it with Philip."

"OK, no problem, thank you."

Jesmin responded, then asked curiously:

“How much did they bid?”

"One million euros."

Xu Xin said while dialing the number for Philip.

When Jesmin heard this, she smiled and said:

"It seems that our movie is really famous. Even if it has not been released yet..."

“Ha~”

Xu Xin chuckled and nodded, and after the phone call there was answering, he said:

"Phillip, friend, I have something to tell you..."

moment……

"Hmm, just make a decision. I have no objection."

This is Philip's answer.

He is a screenwriter, but in theory, copyright has nothing to do with him.

After all, even the idea and story structure of this script are provided by Xu Xin.

But just like Xu Xin has a box office share for everyone, as the screenwriter and the creator of the story, Xu Xin did not leave him behind.

In fact, to some extent, some of the customs of Italy and the Celestial Empire are very similar.

It is the most appropriate way to use favors to replace interests in some things.

So, he handed over the power to Xu Xin completely.

He didn't even consider whether Xu Xin would cheat him.

After all, if you want to save money for this kind of copyright, you only need to use your left hand to slim your right hand, and the profit difference from one in and out will be huge.

Xu Xin naturally won’t let this trust down:

"No problem, my friend. My opinion is not to sell it now. You must know that our story has no limitations. The series of topics we discussed at the dinner table exist in every country. It is common. So, the value of copyright is like... "Blood Maze" by the Coen brothers. Do you know that my teacher bought it for more than six million dollars."

"You mean wait for the box office to be higher?"

"Yes. A little higher, at least, I'll talk about it after the box office of the Celestial Dynasty came out."

"No problem, listen to you, thank you."

After getting Philip's attitude, Xu Xin directly replied to Qi Lei and told him his decision.

There is really no need to rush to sell.

Although he didn't think about copyright at the beginning, Qi Lei's call quickly made him realize the universality of the story "Perfection".

There is no cultural barrier. People from every country can resonate with these couples, emotions, children, and loyalty topics, and can even be directly taken over, without even making changes.

There is no need to be localized at all.

Or a small localization change is enough.

Since that's the case... the copyright of "Perfect" must be that the higher the global box office, the more valuable it is.

After all... Once you buy the copyright, you can even save a lot of money on the production fee.

It's a huge profit to see from this.

After he expressed his thoughts, Qi Lei also said:

"I think that's the case. We can even take it to Berlin, or next year's Cannes, and let these investors bid there. What do you think?"

"Let's talk about it then. The movie will be released tomorrow at noon. Let's just pay attention to the local box office first."

"Um."

When the phone hung up, he heard Jesmin say:

"I am increasingly looking forward to the reaction of the Chinese audience after the movie is released tomorrow."

"Um."

Xu Xin nodded slightly:

"Me too."

...

January 15th.

"Perfect Stranger" is still half an hour away.

Wanda underground parking.

Assistant Guo Si opened the co-pilot door of the business car and got in.

Then he turned his head and sat down at Deng Chao in the back, and Sun Li said:

"There are a lot of people, a lot of people! Even printers that pick up tickets by themselves are lined up."

"Yeah. I saw it."

Sun Li looked at the short video sent by Guo Si on her phone and sighed:

"Tsk... it's so hot."

In the video, let alone the printer that collects tickets by self-service, all counters at the ticket window of Wanda Cinema are open, and there are long queues in front of each counter.

“How many tickets have been sold now?”

Deng Chao asked.

"I sold it until 9 pm when I looked it."

"Wow!"

Listening to the words of his assistant Guo Si, Deng Chao raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"The rest are all full?"

"Um."

After getting confirmation, he thought about it, turned his head and asked his wife:

"You said...is it possible to tamper with the box office?"

"It shouldn't."

Sun Li shook her head slightly:

"Although stealing of box office is quite common, but in so many years... their movies have never heard of box office stealing. What's more... Xu Xin doesn't have to steal box office. This movie is released today. No matter what, it will definitely reduce the number of "The Grandmaster" scenes.

The box office data of "The Grandmaster" was still more than 270,000 to 80,000 yesterday. It is almost possible to break through 300 million tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At this critical moment, it is too easy for people to see the box office.

If Xu Xin really wants to make the box office high, he might as well be half a month later... No, ten days will be enough. After the screening 10 days later, the screening rate of "The Grandmaster" has decreased, and he earns more, so why bother to be on the show now?"

“…So, why at this time?”

A trace of confusion flashed in Deng Chao's eyes.

"Xu Xin is not an amateur, let alone... it's his wife's movie, why are you so anxious?"

“Um…”
