    Since Li Mingbao said at the beginning that he wanted to sell the copyright, and Li Mingbao has not denied it for so long, 20th Century Fox naturally believed that Li Mingbao definitely meant to sell the copyright.  Being able to be greeted personally by the president of Twentieth Century Fox today does not mean that Li Mingbao really has that ability. It can only be said that Twentieth Century Fox is too optimistic about the copyright of this movie, so even the president came forward.  .  ??Twentieth Century Fox has given so much face, and if Li Mingbao continues to be coy, it will definitely make these relatively straightforward Americans think that Li Mingbao is not sincere enough.  For Li Mingbao, who still needs to rely on 20th Century Fox for many things in the future, if they think that he is not sincere, it will be a disaster for his small company.  So Li Mingbao also talked about copyright issues straight to the point.  Sure enough, after hearing Li Mingbao's exact response, John's smile became even more charming. Although an old guy's smile could not be charming in any way, John thought that his smile was charming, so for 20th Century Fox,  , then his smile must be charming. Don't think that foreigners can't flatter you. When ordinary people see them doing business, it's because ordinary people are not able to flatter them enough.  "Let me just say, listening to your words, Mr. Li, I know that Mr. Li is a cheerful person. Indeed, our company attaches great importance to the copyright of this movie. Otherwise, with my usual schedule, today  As usual, you should go play golf. So, what kind of thoughts does Mr. Li have on the subsequent copyright of this movie? You can tell me, as you know the strength of our company, we are capable of acquiring the copyright of this movie.  Of course, this is under the condition that Mr. Li doesn¡¯t have a big mouth.¡± John said with a smile.  John¡¯s words clearly show his strength. For Americans, such negotiations are really normal.  Just like their foreign policy, I don't need you to agree with my point of view, but I need to let you understand my strength.  So there was the Gulf War, there was the Iraq War, there was the Afghanistan War, there were countless wars.  ?Compared to the British, Americans like to show their fists. Of course, for them, this is equivalent to showing strength.  Therefore, the British, who have always liked to play tricks, have never looked down upon the Americans.  But please forgive them. The first white immigrants in the United States were originally a group of prisoners fighting with bare arms. Until now, the style has penetrated into the bones, and there is nothing too strange.  Li Mingbao turned a blind eye to John's threat: "Mr. John, I believe you know the value of this movie very well. In the history of American movies, there are not many movies with such high box office. And the sequel of this movie,  There is still a lot of room for development, so my positioning for the copyright of this film will not be too low. Of course, it will not be too high. It is the best that suits the situation of this film. " Li Mingbao's words are simply true.  Taking off his pants and farting, the box office of the movie "Home Alone" is not only the highest in American history, it is simply extremely high. Historically, the box office of "Home Alone" was actually slightly lower than that of "The Empire Strikes Back"  .  But in the year when Lee Ming-pao appeared, the box office of "Home Alone" was actually more than 10 million yuan higher than the movie "The Empire Strikes Back".  Therefore, "Home Alone", which was originally ranked third on the U.S. box office list at this time, suddenly became ranked second.  The top-grossing movie is "Star Wars."  Whether it¡¯s ¡°Star Wars¡± or ¡°The Empire Strikes Back,¡± they are both produced by Twentieth Century Fox.  Twentieth Century Fox also owns these two movies, so the past two years have been particularly good.  And now, Li Mingbao's "Home Alone" has just squeezed into the second place in the US box office history. 20th Century Fox, which has experienced enough of the benefits that top-grossing movies will bring to its company, how can it let go of such a movie?  What about a movie?  What's more, whether it's "Star Wars" or "The Empire Strikes Back," the cost of these two movies cannot be compared with "Home Alone" at all, although the first two movies are also very profitable, and they make a lot of money.  .  But in terms of cost advantage, the movie "Home Alone" can beat the previous two movies by several blocks.  Big productions are a headache no matter where they are. Even if such a big production can make a lot of money, if a small-cost movie can also achieve the same effect, these capitalists will definitely not mind replacing it with a small-cost one.  Big production.  You know, "The Empire Strikes Back", which had a lower box office than "Home Alone", had a production cost of US$18 million. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, then?The production cost is close to HK$200 million.  Although I got my money back in the end and made a lot of money.  But movies like this are all about heartbeats after all. If any movie doesn't do well at the box office, it will be a huge loss.  But for a movie like "Home Alone", even if the cost is higher, there is still a limit, because this movie does not require expensive stunts or big scenes. In addition to a few starring actors, the whole movie needs  In addition, a big house is needed, and such a big house does not need to be demolished, it is just used, and the cost is negligible for a large investment.  Houses in the United States are not as expensive as those in Hong Kong.  Unless it is a prime area, it may cost less than one million dollars to build a house in an ordinary place, then demolish it, and this is if the house is large enough and is a villa.  Otherwise, there are many houses with tens of thousands of dollars in the United States.  Such a low-cost, high-return movie is a coveted piece of meat for any film company.  Therefore, Li Mingbao does not need to sell gold as cabbage. Not only will it not win John's appreciation, but it will make John think that Li Mingbao is an idiot and cannot cooperate well.  After hearing what Li Mingbao said, John agreed and said: "Of course, for this movie, the price will definitely not be too low. Because that will make both of us look like fools. But Mr. Li, you also know that if the price is  Too high is not very reasonable for 20th Century Fox. After all, our company is so large and needs to spend a lot. If the cost is too high, it will be very detrimental to our company's profit.  " "So, I have to try my best to make your company make money while ensuring that I don't suffer losses. We have a saying in Hong Kong. If we all make money together, only then can the business last. Whoever has the most money?  Taking advantage is not good news for either party," Li Mingbao continued.  "So Mr. Li, what is your psychological price?" John asked.  When it comes to the real price, Li Mingbao is also a little nervous. At first, he only wanted 150 million U.S. dollars. But later, as the box office of the movie continued to soar, coupled with the impact of this movie on the entire United States,  , if Li Mingbao only wants 1.5 billion US dollars, it is really selling at a low price.  "Although it was sold at that price, it was still a huge profit for Li Mingbao. Compared with selling the copyright to Liu Shu, this kind of income is enough to make people wake up laughing when they fall asleep.  But this is the United States, and US dollars are used, not Hong Kong dollars.  When discussing business here, you can't always convert money into Hong Kong dollars, otherwise a small number will become a large amount when converted into Hong Kong dollars.  So Li Mingbao calmed down later. The U.S. dollar is the U.S. dollar. In the United States, don¡¯t think about how much U.S. dollars will be converted into Hong Kong dollars.  Jiang Zhiqiang suffered such a loss two days ago.  Two million US dollars doesn't seem like a big figure, but when this figure was converted into Hong Kong dollars, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately felt that it was an astronomical figure.  "The first thing I wanted to ask for was 300 million US dollars. In fact, this price is completely suitable for the copyright of this movie, and I believe that after negotiation, 20th Century Fox will definitely agree. "After all,  The box office of this movie will not only bring actual benefits to your company, but also increase your company's influence. The money earned from the stock will be even more, although you earned it from the movie.  It won¡¯t be much, but other income will definitely be able to make up for your losses,¡± Li Mingbao said.  As the current boss of 20th Century Fox, John didn't even blink when he heard Li Mingbao's quotation, which proved that Li Mingbao's words did not exceed his psychological expectations by much. He could indeed make "Home Alone" at such a price.  Get the copyright inside.  But Li Mingbao¡¯s words made John understand that such an offer was not Li Mingbao¡¯s real offer, otherwise Li Mingbao¡¯s original words would not have said the words ¡°I wanted it in the first place¡±.  So when Li Mingbao finished speaking, John promptly asked: "What now? I believe Mr. Li, you don't want that much money for the copyright now. So what is your current psychological price?" "As I said before  As the old saying goes, everyone makes money. We don¡¯t have to keep all the money in our own hands and throw away everything else. I believe that the relationship between our two companies will be the same in the future.  There will be many more when the company makes the deal. The high price I offered this time is not a good result for both of our companies, so I finally decided that for the long-term cooperation between us, "Little Ghost"  I only need 200 million US dollars for the rights to the movie "The Master". Of course, this is the final price, no matter what.If we negotiate, if we agree, we agree. If we don't agree, the terms between us will be void.  "Li Mingbao said simply.
