Chapter 649 Shocked Barber

"Can you tell me, how many online movie companies have copyrights like this?"

When Barber said these words, he saw that Yang Ming seemed to be shocked by his words, so he took a sip of coffee and waited for Yang Ming to figure it out.∈↗Ding Dian Novel,..o

At this time, Yang Ming's expression was indeed a bit dazed, but it was not that he was shocked, but a bit familiar. He felt that what Barber said was very familiar to him, as if someone had already said it in his ear. have to.

He frowned as he recalled these words, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he thought of it.

I remember that in his previous life, Yang Ming once read a news review analyzing why Hollywood movies have taken over the global film market. There seemed to be remarks similar to Barber's in the review.

Putting aside the three major success factors of Hollywood, the creativity and plot settings in those amazing Hollywood blockbusters are indeed commendable.

But what is disappointing is that the copyrights of books and comics around the world that can be adapted into movies have already been acquired by Hollywood.

"Harry Potter", "Transformers", "Lord of the Rings", "Iron Man", "Batman", "Taken", "Captain America", etc., these are movies that have widespread influence around the world. , basically adapted from comics and best-selling books.

If you are careful, you will find that all the Hollywood film companies that shoot these classic blockbusters are basically giants, not second-tier Hollywood film companies.

Why?

Because copyright has been monopolized.

It is simply not possible to seize the copyrights from these giants.

Although there are no such popular comics and books in this world, in Barber's eyes, all the coveted copyrights in the world have already been acquired by the film giants, or at most they have slipped through their hands. Just some leftovers.

Connection's attempt to use these leftovers to carve out its own niche in Hollywood was, in Barber's opinion, a pipe dream.

Yang Ming didn't expect that Barber's point of view would be such a coincidence with a news comment he saw in his previous life. In other words, this is really the rule of the entertainment industry!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look stunned.

Barber felt relieved when he saw that Yang Ming seemed to have figured it out. If it weren't for the fact that he now knew Yang Ming's information and had too much aura around this young man, he would never have said so much nonsense.

"Monopoly, top copyrights and content have long been monopolized by the six major Hollywood giants. No matter how good your online company is, even if it can continue to produce one or two big-selling movies, it is basically useless to the giants. It will not shake their foundation, which is not in line with my expectations, so, R Yang, I am very sorry!"

Hearing Barber's euphemistic rejection, Yang Ming's expression remained unchanged. He didn't expect that Barber's worry was actually because of this. However, this reflected from another aspect that Barber's heart was at least unwilling to fail. Not willing to disappear from Hollywood!

In this case, everything is easy to handle!

Yang Ming was afraid that Barber would become depressed because of Pan American Entertainment's ruthlessness, or that he might have already agreed to the requests of other film companies.

A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and then he took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he had brought and handed them to Barber again. Still without any explanation, he stretched out his hand for Barber to take a look.

Barber was stunned when he saw the documents in front of him. He really didn't expect that even though he had spent so much time talking, he still hadn't dispelled the unrealistic thoughts of the young man in front of him. He couldn't help but show a hint of impatience on his face.

, what documents should I look at, unless it is a contract agreement to acquire the six major Hollywood movie giants, it will never make him change his mind.

As for the acquisition of the six major Hollywood giants, Barbour believes that this is even more impossible than Yang Ming inviting him to join Serial Film Company!

However, out of etiquette, he still suppressed his impatience and looked down at the document Yang Ming gave him.

Or it couldn't be said to be a document. Barber flipped through the document and found that apart from the top few papers, there was actually a comic book underneath.

He couldn't help but look carefully at the pieces of paper on it. When he saw the content on it, he couldn't help but be shocked. He looked up at Yang Ming in disbelief, and Yang Ming nodded, indicating that these were all true.

Barber looked down at the document in his hand again, unable to conceal the shock in his heart.

He really didn't expect that the pieces of paper in his hand turned out to be documents of intention from several Hollywood giants to acquire the rights to adapt the comic book movie called "Transformers"!

"Transformers"?

In this case, the following comic must be the "Transformers" that has attracted the attention of several Hollywood giants?

With strong curiosity, Barber quickly flipped through the comic, then closed his eyes and couldn't calm down for a long time!

Absolutely genius idea!

Especially the idea of ​​the Autobot's transformation is really amazing.

"Does the copyright of this comic belong to your company?" Barber still felt unconvinced and asked for confirmation.

"Yes!" Yang Ming nodded, and then continued: "This comic was published simultaneously in China and the United States. It has only been published for two issues. Especially the sales in the United States are not as good as in China, but I didn't expect it.

Actually, some Hollywood giants have noticed the value of this comic!"

Barbour smiled bitterly. More than just paying attention, if he was still in Pan American Entertainment at this moment, he would not let go of this comic called "Transformers"!

For those Hollywood giants, the easiest time to acquire the copyrights of best-selling books on the market is when these books and comics have not yet produced hits, and it is also the easiest time to do so.

He once served as the general manager of a giant Hollywood film company, and he knows all about the circles inside.

Every movie giant will have a dedicated department that keeps an eye on new books and comics that appear in the cultural market and have best-selling potential. As long as they feel that these books and comics are worth spending money to acquire the copyright, they will not hesitate to propose them.

Requirements for film adaptation rights.

Pan American Entertainment also has such a department, but it was originally established by Barber himself, and after years of expansion, it is filled with sharp-eyed professionals.

Among the documents Yang Ming gave him was an agreement from Pan American Entertainment to purchase the movie rights to "Transformers"!

Seeing the name of Pan American Entertainment in the document, Barbour really felt a sense of absurdity. Just now he was talking to the young man in front of him about the importance of creativity and content. Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, he saw that he had

I am proud to propose an agreement to acquire the rights to adapt other people's films.

It's really uncomfortable.

Before Barber could recover, Yang Ming took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Barber with a smile.

When Barber saw the document in front of him, he was stunned. There was actually one?

Is it still the film adaptation rights purchase agreement of those giants in Hollywood?

He picked up the file and looked at it, and felt relieved. It was just a pile of drafts of comics.

"Spider-Man"!

After seeing the name at the top of the document, Barber continued to read with a strange mood. After a long time, after the coffee in front of the two of them had cooled down, he raised his head and looked at Yang Ming with a complicated look.

To be honest, at this moment, he really couldn't use words to describe the mood and feelings in his heart at this moment.

But before Barber's mood returned to normal, Yang Ming saw Barber finish reading the documents in front of him and take out a stack of documents from his briefcase!

Hand it to him again.

Barber looked at the document in front of him and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but said: "Or comics?"

Whether it was "Transformers" or "Spider-Man", he had already read them roughly. Although he didn't read them too carefully, he had to admit the excellence of these two comics.

Needless to say, "Transformers", the film adaptation rights agreements received by several Hollywood film giants are enough to prove the excellence of this comic.

Especially the robot transformation inside, even the well-informed Barber had to sigh that this idea was really genius. He didn't know if anyone had come before, but he could definitely guarantee that it was unprecedented.

If special effects could be used to transform the robots in the comics into real shots, Barber can fully imagine the shock and screams of the audience after seeing this movie.

And "Spider-Man" is another comic with a completely different style.

Although this comic also has extraordinary creativity, Barber saw that it contained the heroic complex in this comic, and what Hollywood likes most is this kind of heroic complex that saves people from fire and water.

It can be said that the essence of the comic "Spider-Man" is a heroic comic created according to the Hollywood model. Although this comic seems to have not been released yet, Barber can guarantee that after this comic is released, the Hollywood giants will

An agreement to acquire the rights to adapt this comic book movie will definitely come like snowflakes.

He really didn't expect that after these two comics that amazed him, Yang Ming would take out another stack of documents!

"No!" Yang Ming shook his head slightly, "This is a book with the theme of Western magic!"

"?" Barber frowned slightly, and he suddenly remembered the information about Yang Ming he had seen on the Internet some time ago. It seems that this young man is also a best-selling author in China.

He also read a few books published by Yang Ming in China, but he couldn't understand the so-called martial arts books written by Yang Ming at all, so he gave up after reading a little.

Did he think Westerners would like his writing with Chinese thinking?

No matter what, Barber still lowered his head and looked at the slightly thicker stack of documents in front of him again. Obviously, Yang Ming had not published this document yet, otherwise it would not have been printed on paper, but would have been printed directly from a ready-made book.

He looked.

After a while, Barber was immersed in the documents in his hands and forgot the concept of time.

Yang Ming didn't feel anxious because of this. He ordered two more cups of coffee, replaced the cooled coffee, and continued to drink coffee leisurely, waiting for Barber's reaction.

I believe "Harry Potter" should have tempted him.
