Chapter 319 Oscar is a US dollar!

Can't even wait for the media to report it.

All the publicity Zhang Weiping had previously put in support of "House of Flying Daggers" in its Oscar bid has now become a hindrance to Chen Andu!
The news that Chen An won the 77th Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director immediately reached the top!
Chen An is still in Los Angeles, but the country is already in turmoil!

'Making history again! Chen An won the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture!'

'Breaking history! Chen An won the highest honor for Oscar directors, the Oscar for Best Director!'

'Chen An's new film "No Country for Old Men" was praised by Hollywood as Chen An's best work to date, winning the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture!'

'.'

And Hollywood was also in turmoil!
Chen Anyu's intimacy on the podium was all small.

The hottest movies throughout the show were the biggest winner, "No Country for Old Men"!
On the Best Actress award podium, Rousi's confession to Jack completely became a hot topic!
Shouts of curses and voices of praise appeared separately!
Some people seemed to recall the movie "Titanic" and seemed to see the characters in the movie reappearing on the stage!

Some people find it disgusting!
So disgusting~~!

In front of her husband, so disgusting!
The shredded pork was the biggest shock point. Leonardo suffered an unexpected disaster and was also scolded to death!

Even the openness of the United States has its limits. Leonardo DiCaprio is not married and has no problem liking supermodels and changing girlfriends frequently!

You are a married actress and mother, and you did such a thing in front of so many people, including your husband!

Rousi, who just won the Oscar for Best Actress, instantly lost her reputation!
Chen An was secretly happy. With the other party taking the initiative, a kiss or two was nothing.

After winning the award, Warner urgently increased the number of theaters showing the film to 1350, which means the film has basically been released on a large scale in North America!
Thanks to the support of the Oscars, the box office is still impressive even though it has been released for more than a month!

And what comes next is the exciting copyright sales process!
This is the first time that Chen Andu’s Hollywood works have been sold. Previously, he cooperated with Warner and had the ability to distribute globally. However, now "No Country for Old Men" produced by his own company can only be sold for overseas distribution!
Chen An was holding Charlize Theron and wearing pajamas in his luxury apartment.

I rubbed my temples and went to sleep at around four or five in the morning. Jerry came over at around eight or nine in the morning.

"Jerry, you come here so early in the morning, do you want to kill yourself?"

"Chen, I'm the same. I was caught by my brother-in-law early in the morning. I didn't want to come and disturb you, but there are too many people eyeing the piece of meat of No Country for Old Men!"

Jerry also rubbed his head. The dark circles under his eyes were particularly noticeable against the other person's white skin.

"No Country for Old Men" was the biggest winner at the Oscars last night, taking home Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The overseas distribution rights have great potential and are undoubtedly a big piece of meat!
"I remember there's coffee here, Theron. Make us a cup." Chen An patted the other person's butt and asked him to go first. "How does Warner plan to buy it? I basically sold all my three award-winning films to Sony. Let me hear Warner's terms first."

Sony has always been the target of Chen An's copyright sales. Sony is wealthy and can earn the most US dollars. Chen An is not clear about the cooperation and unhappiness between the two parties. Anyway, Chen An is very happy!
"Warner Bros. plans to pay 40 million U.S. dollars for all overseas distribution rights. As a condition, they also want to acquire the sales rights for the DVDs of No Country for Old Men."

Jerry lit up a Marlboro and told him the approximate conditions his brother-in-law had given him this morning.

To be honest, 40 million US dollars to purchase the copyright of an R-rated film is a very generous sum, especially for an art film like "No Country for Old Men".

Because it cannot be released in some places, such as China, which is a big box office. Even if it is released, it will have to be cut and modified to affect the perception.

And this is just the copyright fee, the subsequent distribution fees are real money. So Warner wants the right to sell the discs in addition to the distribution rights, which is the real source of income for such films.

There is no need to even think about selling peripheral products for a movie like "No Country for Old Men". Only the disc market has great potential!
With the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director, sales will not be reduced!
Charlize Theron walked on the floor without shoes, making no sound, and brought over two cups of coffee, placing them on the table.

Chen An picked up the phone and blew it. "Ok, Jerry, since they sent you here, I can't refuse. The overseas distribution rights of No Country for Old Men can be given to Warner. As for the disc sales, it will only be for ten years. This is my bottom line, just like when I did Shoplifters."

As an English film, "No Country for Old Men" has potential that is unmatched by "Shoplifters".

Jerry was a little confused. "Ten years? OK, you are the copyright owner anyway, you decide. But the price can only be determined by the company."

The copyright fees of tens of millions are not something he can decide.

Especially when it comes to global copyright fees, the Oscars are not comparable to the big three, they are much higher. Chen An only sells the copyright for ten years, and the price needs to be renegotiated.

Chen An nodded and took a sip of coffee to refresh himself. It was a bit bitter, so he added some sugar and found that Coke was indeed more suitable for him.

"No rush, I can stay for a while and discuss it slowly. By the way, how is "Batman: The Dark Knight" going?" Chen An asked curiously.

Jerry took a big sip of coffee and said, "It's still in post-production, but it will be ready soon. It will be released in the summer. The company is very optimistic about your company's The Hangover and wants to get the distribution rights."

Chen An shook his head and said, "I can accept profit sharing, but I cannot accept buying out the distribution of The Hangover. I have no choice but to go to Sony."

The Hangover series is a ace of low-budget comedy films with high box office.

It would be a huge loss if we bought out the distribution.

And Chen An is already prepared to acquire a small North American distribution company.

It doesn't have to be too good, as long as it has enough distribution capabilities in the North American market. There is no need for global distribution.

It cannot be issued at a global level!
The Big Six in Hollywood would not want to see another DreamWorks rise, even if Chen An helped Warner make a lot of money!
DreamWorks is a creative team composed almost entirely of top directors. They clamored to become the seventh largest Hollywood giant, but were directly besieged. Even with their unparalleled outstanding achievements, they still failed!
As Jews, they are still like this, let alone an outsider like Chen An!
Global distribution has always been the bottom line of the Big Six Hollywood studios and cannot be touched.

And Chen An didn't want to touch it. He just had his eyes on Hollywood, a world-renowned box office. The North American market was enough!
There is no plan to expand into the global market!
And it needs to be done as soon as possible. The company's distribution cannot be stuck like this. The "Saw series" has already reached a cooperation with Lionsgate. The subsequent "Insidious series" and "The Hangover" and other series must open up their own distribution channels in the North American market.

Anyway, the bulk of the box office revenue is here, so as for the global market distribution, just leave it to the Big Six, and everyone will make money!
Chen An looked at Jerry with a heavy face: "Jerry, can I trust you?"

"Why?"

Jerry was a little confused.

Chen An put down his coffee and said seriously, "I want to acquire a publishing company."

Jerry raised his eyebrows and frowned, then said seriously, "Chen, do you want to be like DreamWorks? To be honest, I don't think this is a wise choice, even for you, Chen!"

"No." Chen An shook his head. "I can't compare with them. I just want the distribution capacity in North America, not too big. I dare not stretch my hand in the global market. I have seen the strength of Warner, not to mention facing the entire Big Six."
