Without talking for too long, Dan Logan quickly walked towards Rowling.

Although Orion Pictures has a good cooperation with Warner Bros., and even in the future on superhero films, they will be natural allies.

But it's impossible to be really intimate.

A lot of things related to their respective internal project plans, at best, they are point-to-point.

It's impossible and inappropriate for Ryan to talk about the DC Comics superhero character film project.

Walking into the lounge of the banquet hall, Michael Kuhn looked at Ryan who walked in, and pointed to the whiskey on the table, "Would you like a glass?"

"Okay." Ryan sat down casually.

"Okay." Michael Kuhn poured a glass of whiskey and handed it to Ryan, "The project that Frank introduced is simply terrible."

"The other party only agreed to sell the North American distribution rights of the film."

Michael Kuhn took a sip from his glass and continued, "$40 million."

"The buyout price they proposed is as high as $40 million, which is unbelievable."

$40 million!

"It's unavoidable."

Ryan took a sip of the wine glass and said: "Our "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a North American box office of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and the other party will definitely open a big mouth for the North American distribution rights."

"The best option is to share the distribution."

Michael Kuhn nodded, split distribution is indeed the best choice, and there is a lot of room for Orion Pictures to operate.

Ryan's tone suddenly changed, "Michael, the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has always been a place we long for, so the cooperation on "Heroes" is not only a benefit, but also a long-term plan."

Of course, he would not agree to buying the North American publishing rights of "Hero" at a price of 40 million US dollars.

Cooperation does not mean that you can be taken advantage of.

The North American box office of "Hero" in the previous life was only more than 50 million U.S. dollars. Even if you count the benefits of peripheral copyrights and merchandise, it is difficult to recover 40 million U.S. dollars.

"Well, you're right."

"However, they hope that the promotional expenses of "Hero" can be equal to that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and hit the Golden Globes and Oscars." Michael Kuhn said helplessly.

"The matter of the Golden Globes and the Oscars can be discussed, as for the promotional expenses!" Ryan said without thinking, "We must follow the rules of Hollywood."

The promotional expenses of Hollywood films are generally about 30% of the production cost of the film, and it may exceed 40% for large-scale commercial films.

These are normal circumstances only.

There are also many films whose publicity costs even exceed production costs, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

However, it is impossible for Orion Pictures to spend tens of millions of dollars in promotional expenses on "Hero".

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to agree to this."

Michael Kuhn put down his wine glass, "They are more inclined to cooperate with Sony than Orion Pictures."

"What's more, the buyout price given by many film companies is very high, such as Miramax Films." His tone was a bit weird.

Especially when it comes to Miramax Films.

"Forget it." Ryan frowned, and then said indifferently: "It is impossible for us to invest a lot of resources in this film."

Regardless of the recent years, Orion Films has produced many popular films, and acquired MGM, one of the seven old Hollywood film companies, which seems to have a bright future.

Compared with Sony Pictures, in terms of overall scale, it is far worse.

Not to mention, the Sony consortium behind Sony Pictures has a terrifying influence across the Pacific Ocean.

As for those film companies that offered high buyout copyrights!

It's nothing more than planning to make a fortune.

First pay in installments, give the last sum of money as a deposit, get the film copyright at a high price, and then...?

There is no more!

Even if there is a transnational lawsuit, it is estimated that they will not be able to get back the rest of the copyright buyout fee. Almost all overseas film companies can only choose to swallow their anger.

This is a common way most Hollywood studios treat foreign films.

Miramax Pictures is officially represented there.

"You are the person in charge of the distribution department. You can make up your own mind on how to choose." Ryan will not lose the interests of Orion Pictures just to please the box office market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

At least not for the North American distribution rights of "Hero".

Big deal, let other Hollywood studios fight.

The way that **** works, Ryan won't let Orion Pictures get involved.

Leaving the lounge, Ryan turned around, but couldn't find Charlize-Theron and the others, so he could only drive back to the Bel-Air mansion alone.

The next morning, he received a call from Angelina Jolie, showing off what happened last night, describing various plots in such detail that Ryan rolled his eyes.

Until he came to Orion Films, Ryan was still thinking about how to teach Angelina Jolie a lesson.

"Mr. Gosling, ABC hopes to take back the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels"."

In the office, Carter-Eisner and a senior manager from the ABC TV network said, "Abc will give Orion Pictures enough compensation in accordance with the agreement."

John-Denise put down his coffee and stood aside, frowning.

"Carter!"

Ryan ignored the senior management from the ABC TV network, but looked at Carter-Eisner and said, "Is this what Touchstone means? Or Disney!"

As early as a few years ago, the abc television network was fully acquired by Disney.

This is also an important turning point in Disney's transformation into a media group.

Carter-Eisner showed a look of regret, "I haven't been to Touchstone for a long time."

"So, this is what Disney means?" Ryan tapped his fingers lightly and said, "I need a reasonable explanation."

The senior management of the abc TV network said: "Orion Pictures bought the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels", and has no plans to prepare for the filming."

"Given this situation, ABC Television Network has the right to take back the film adaptation copyright of "Charlie's Angels."

"I didn't ask you ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Ryan didn't even look at him, but continued to look at Carter-Eisner.

"I'm sorry, this is the meaning of the Disney executives." Carter-Eisner knew that it would not be an easy task to recover the copyright from Orion Pictures.

He even wanted to scold all the high-level executives of the ABC TV network for selling the film adaptation rights of "Charlie's Angels" to Orion Pictures. I really don't know what they were thinking.

Pig brains?

Don't know the distance if you are stumped!

"That means there is no explanation!"

Ryan suddenly laughed, looked at the management of the abc TV network, and said, "I need to correct something. Orion Films has already started preparing to shoot this film, and invested a lot of money in the early stage."

"If ABC TV Network wants to breach the contract, then Orion Pictures can only protect its own interests through judicial procedures."
