Chapter 955 Sincerity
The Hollywood giants have controlled Hollywood's film distribution channels and peripheral sales channels. This is the most critical thing for them to survive.

Although there are often some independent film companies whose performance far exceeds that of Hollywood giants with relatively poor performance, none of them can replace the positions of Hollywood giants in the end.

On the one hand, the Hollywood giants hold the rating of the MPAA, and on the other hand, there is a media group standing behind the Hollywood giants.

But they will definitely not be disgusted with outsiders like Legendary Pictures, why?Because foreign film companies like Legendary Pictures did not pose any threat to them.

On the contrary, if they can snatch the distribution rights of several high-quality projects of Legendary Pictures from Dick Group, that's what they want.

These days, the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food. There are many movies released in Hollywood every year, but in fact, there are no bad movies in Hollywood?Certainly not.

On the contrary, there are still many bad movies. Many movies with an investment of more than [-] million yuan have a box office of less than tens of millions.

Therefore, before a Hollywood film company invests in a film, it is very cumbersome to do research and preparations.

This is also why Lin Xiao hastily set the main role and investment in the next movie, which will make the media so frenzied.

The main reason is that Hollywood has formed a film production process in the industrial assembly line mode.

From the beginning of the script, to market research, analysis, investment, director selection, casting, and a series of operations, it is impossible to finalize within a few months.

But what about Lin Xiao?Just one night, just a few hours, and a lot of pre-work for a movie is done.

"What does the Dick Group say?" Although the release is not urgent, we can still talk about it.

If the sincerity is similar, Lin Xiao would of course prefer to choose the Dick Group, which has already cooperated many times.

But Lin Xiao didn't think about putting all his eggs in the same basket. After all, although Legendary Pictures doesn't have a distribution channel yet, Legendary Pictures actually has a lot of bargaining chips in its hands.

And they are the least risky series of movies.

The distribution contracts of Hollywood giants are very demanding for many film studios, and in many cases, they can reach 40%.

Yes, you read that right, 40%.

And this is only in the box office, even for foreign companies, the Hollywood giants who control the distribution channels, will even directly take the other party's DVD copyright as a release condition.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible for Legendary Pictures to agree to such harsh conditions. After all, although Legendary Pictures was strictly an independent film company, Legendary Pictures had enough chips.

Therefore, in the distribution contract with Dick Group, the distribution share is only 15%.

And it does not involve other copyrights. Of course, Dick Group has priority in other copyrights.

But this time, the answer Nami gave surprised Lin Xiao.

"Are you sure? The 20% share doesn't include publicity investment?" Lin Xiao looked in disbelief.

"As much as I want to say no, it's the way it is," Nami said.

"Is this Rand's decision?" Lin Xiao asked, frowning.

"No, during this period of Dick Group's actual situation, internal high-level disputes have occurred, and Rand seems to have been marginalized." Nami said.

This was unexpected by Lin Xiao, because Rand was mainly in charge of the cooperation between Dick Group and Legendary Pictures on Lin Xiao's side.

"Do we have any other options?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Of course, the terms offered by Parker Films under DSN and New Star Films under Mina Films are very good," Nami said.

"Tell me more about it." Lin Xiao was noncommittal.

"DSN's Parker Films, their president Owen said that the distribution share can be set at 12%, and they can advance the publicity fee, and at least they can get us more than 2000 screens." Nami said.

"There are no other additional conditions?" Lin Xiao asked.

This condition is so superior that Lin Xiao can't believe it.

"No! It's just that Owen hinted that he hopes to have more cooperation with Legendary Pictures." Nami said.

"What is the strength of Parker Pictures?" Lin Xiao asked.

Although Parker Films is an independent label under DSN, it is actually operated independently.

As you know, the DSN label mainly focuses on movies for all ages, and Parker Films is the main distribution company for DSN's other genres, including action movies, romance genres and other dramas.

Although the distribution strength of Parker Films is slightly worse than that of Dick Films, it is still very good. Of course, this refers to the North American region.

"What else? What kind of conditions does Nova Films offer?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"The conditions given by New Star Films are similar to those of Parker Films, but New Star Films hopes to win the global distribution rights of the film except for Asia." Nami said.

"Which one do you think is more suitable? And what is their purpose?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's actually very simple. They have expressed their hope to cooperate with us more than once in our series of films such as "Kung Fu Panda". It's just that we didn't agree because we cooperated well with Dick Group before."

"But on the side of the Dick Group, Rand is marginalized, and his biggest bargaining chip is the release of several films that he has cooperated with our company. Therefore, within the Dick Group, Rand's competitors will definitely be at this time , Suppress us. To achieve the purpose of suppressing Rand." Nami said.

"Once Rand is really excluded from Dick's power, they will definitely show sincerity immediately." Nami said.

"Forget it, since Dick's Group wants to use us as a tool for them to fight for power and profit, then teach them a lesson and tell them that we, Legendary Pictures, don't have to be Dick's." Lin Xiao said lightly.

"By the way, re-register with a company. Next, I will put several series of movies including "Kung Fu Panda" in another company to operate." Lin Xiao said blankly.

Previously, Legendary Films was actually a product of the cooperation between Peak Tower and Dick Group in North America, and Legendary Films Dick Group itself was also a shareholder.

Although the proportion was not much, Lin Xiao wanted to teach the other party a lesson.

Today's Ling Xiao Pavilion is not what it used to be, and I no longer worry about what will happen if I offend the Dick Group.

Because as long as Dick Group needs the Huaguo market, it cannot avoid the Tower of the Sky. Although the Tower of Heaven may not be able to interfere with the projects of the Dick Group, as long as the Dick Group's films are released, they will come up with heavyweight movies to fight against each other. enough for them.

After all, Lingxiao Pavilion is a local snake in China.

Moreover, the Dick Group only wants to take advantage and does not want to pay. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
