Chapter 751 Buying the script

Lin Tao didn't expect things to go so well, it felt like a dream. It seemed that Peter really needed such a sum of money to run away. Since the talks were over, Lin Tao wouldn't waste Zhao Anhua's time. But Zhao Anhua had already pushed the party, so naturally he wouldn't let Lin Tao go easily and drag him to talk about investment.

It turned out that Zhao Anhua had another good script in his hand, and wanted to talk to Lin Tao and ask him to spend more money to buy it. Lin Tao believed in Zhao Anhua's vision, but he obviously had a movie in his hand that had not been finished, so why did he eat the one in the bowl and look at the one in the pot?

Zhao Anhua didn't want to start filming at the same time. Even if he wanted to, he was still unable to do anything. However, the script was really good. I dare not say it was a good script that was rare in a century or at least a good script that was rare in a decade. This is how the director was like. If he didn't control the good script, he would feel uncomfortable no matter how he encountered it.

After listening to the script, Lin Tao asked for a price of 3 million, without bargaining at all, which also surprised him. What kind of screenwriter is so arrogant and the price is this. This is not counting. He even asked for a 2% box office share. You must know that even 2% is definitely not a small amount.

Zhao Anhua patiently persuaded Lin Tao listened carefully. After all, he is an expert in this field, and he still needs to grasp some directions. Zhao Anhua was very optimistic about this script in his words and outside, and even said that if the operation was done properly, he could produce series, and even comics, books and other peripherals, and his income was absolutely considerable.

There is absolutely no shortage of series of movies in the history of American cinema. Whether it is "Alien", "Star Wars", "Star Gate" or "Star Trek", it can be called a textbook for science fiction movies. Not to mention superhero movies like "Batman" and "Superman", even if not every movie is sold, its popularity and reputation are worth continuing to make sequels. As long as one movie is popular, the money you lose in the previous game will be enough to make it back.

The peripheral products are even more profitable, especially superhero comics and figures. The comics also say that figures are better for dozens or even hundreds of dollars in the United States, which is a big burden for Americans. If they are not true lovers, they will definitely not be willing to buy them.

So, even so, a group of loyal fans will be cultivated after a period of time. Now you can find out after checking the Internet that there are so many superheroes in the United States, and each hero has a fixed fan base. They are very interested in whether it is movies or peripheral products.

After Zhao Anhua's suggestion, Lin Tao immediately thought about setting up a peripheral product company serving the Phantom Company, which specializes in producing movie peripheral products produced by the Phantom Company. If, as Zhao Anhua said, this script can be successful in making a movie, then a large number of peripheral products will be produced immediately. At least the impact of the movie will not disappear within half a year, and you can also take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Lin Tao would never question Zhao Anhua's professional vision, but the more he admired him, the more curious Lin Tao became. He simply asked Zhao Anhua to come and read it directly. Of course, it could not be a complete script, it was just the first ten pages, but even so, Lin Tao was attracted immediately.

The story of American science fiction movies is very old-fashioned. It starts with either a service soldier who is injured and resting, a retired soldier who is miserable, or a promising young man who is lost in the wine pond for some reason. However, this script is designed very interestingly, even if the old wine in new bottles is very innovative.

Lin Tao used to be called an otaku, and he played a lot of games. You can see at a glance that the script contains the shadow of "Starcraft" under Blizzard Entertainment. There was a movie called "End's Game", which was called the real TVS by StarCraft fans, and this script also has the same settings.

The United States is a country with a strong sense of copyright. Lin Tao cannot take risks and turned to Li Hui and asked: "What if there is a copyright issue?"

Li Hui said: "It can be learned from some creative aspects. If it is copied completely, you need to purchase the copyright, otherwise there will be no big problem."

Lin Tao said to Zhao Anhua: "I can invest in me, but I need to see the complete script."

Zhao Anhua was a little embarrassed. After all, everything had not been agreed upon yet, so he just needed a complete script, which was not very consistent.

Li Hui said: "Don't the screenwriter's union has a complete certification system? If the other party is afraid of being stolen from creativity, we can just pay for the registration so that he doesn't have to worry."

Zhao Anhua nodded and said, "I'm not afraid to tell the truth. The man is so poor that he only has the script, otherwise he wouldn't dare to ask for 3 million. This script was created by him repeatedly deleting and revising it. The deleted text can be written in a set of "Harry Potter".

"I won't even have money to register?" Lin Tao stared at his eyes, saying that there are many "crazy people" in the United States, but he didn't expect that he really encountered one.

"No, I originally planned to register for him, but he disagreed."

"Oh, then give him money and let him register by himself!"

"Not even..." Zhao Anhua shook his head and said, "He has had stains. He once copied other people's scripts and was removed from the screenwriter's union!"

Lin Tao suddenly had a headache and thought to himself, what kind of person he was? He used to copy other people's scripts, so can he guarantee that he is original now?

Zhao Anhua was expected to think so and explained: "You can rest assured that this script is absolutely original, otherwise he wouldn't dare to bring it to me!"

"What should I do?" Lin Tao had no choice but to look at Li Hui.

"Sign a transfer agreement and pay him 3 million." Li Hui thought for a while and said, "But this requires the legal responsibility. If there is plagiarism, then..." He didn't finish his words, but the meaning expressed was already very obvious.

"He also wants the screenwriter's name!" Zhao Anhua added.

Lin Tao suddenly burst into tears. This man is so awesome. He takes up everything.

"This... I'll talk about it before reading the complete script. Now I really can't guarantee it." Lin Tao shook his head, "If he is worried that I'm plagiarizing, he can make an appointment to meet in the place and discuss the script in person, so that he won't worry?"

No matter what, this is a compromise method. Zhao Anhua said: "Then I'll make arrangements."

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, don't be a director, just be an agent for me. I am very optimistic about your potential."

Zhao Anhua glared at him, which was simply an insult to himself, and hummed: "Without the identity of a director, where can I contact so many people? Where can I introduce my business to you?"
