Eric pushed the door and walked into the living room. Drew immediately jumped from the sofa when he heard the sound and threw himself into Eric ’s arms with excitement. Not happy anymore. In the silent dodge of Eric, small girl breathed a sigh of disgust on the left cheek of Eric, stretched out his sleeves and wiped on it before he kissed him.

Eric was amused by the girl ’s actions. She stepped forward and dragged the small girl on her waist down and threw it on the sofa. After sitting down, she asked, "Okay, hurriedly call me back What's the matter? "Eric said, having noticed the eye-catching black folder on the coffee table in front of him, picked it up and opened it, and a copyright transfer contract appeared in front of Eric.

"Oh, copyright of" An Affair to Remember ", your movements are still quite fast, I thought you would be good after the summer vacation."

Drew is lying on Eric with a smile, with a Eric shoulder hanging from his chin: "This is Hollywood. As long as you have money, many things are easier to handle."

"How much did it cost?" Eric removed the contract from the metal clip of the folder and asked casually.

"3500,000," the girl said the price less confidently, but quickly explained: "But it is all copyright Oh, permanent, and even some of the original music copyright in it belongs to us."

Eric nodded. If it is really as Drew said, then the price is still acceptable. Even if it is used to enrich the Firefly film library, let ’s say that after "Sleepless in Seattle" is hot, maybe you can invest in this movie. . Although Eric originally only allowed Drew to get the copyright within five years of the movie, he can also imagine that the company with copyright will eventually encounter a fat sheep who is interested in this old movie 30 years ago. Kill a fortune, five years? Don't sell it, take it all if you want to buy it, that is, the price is more expensive.

After seeing Eric nod, Drew breathed a sigh of relief, and began to tweely explain: "This movie was originally produced by an investor named Jerry · Walder who started the company himself, but that guy ’s life is bad. Film Studio made some good movies, but a few years later he died of a heart attack. copyright of several of his Film Studio movies were also sold by his widow to another Film Studio. Later, that Film Studio went bankrupt, After a few more turns, it fell into the hands of Fox. "

"Wow," Eric saw the name of 20th Century Fox in the file, heard the explanation from the girl, and almost jumped up.

Drew was talking hard, was shocked by Eric's sudden voice, and asked with wide eyes: "Why ... what's wrong, is there anything wrong?"

"You mean ... this movie was bought from 20th Century Fox?" Eric asked with a luck in his heart.

The girl ’s eyelashes flickered innocently twice, nodding her chin: "Yeah?"

Eric smiled bitterly: "This is bad, and will definitely be hated by Fox in the future."

That night, the little girl was so entangled that Eric only temporarily found a 'summer part-time job' for the girl, and did not consider the copyright attribution issue of "An Affair to Remember" at all. If it was Warner, Universal, or Paramount that had nothing to do with him Eric doesn't have any cooperation with the other party. The pit will be pitted. The movie is also a business. If you make money, you have to celebrate. If you are pitted, you have to be appointed.

However, I never thought that copyright of "An Affair to Remember" was in the hands of 20th Century Fox. He is still in the honeymoon period with Fox, and he does not want to stalemate the relationship between the two parties. Therefore, when Columbia wanted 《Running Out of Time》, Eric only explained to Barry · Diller and made a TV series compensation, but the reality is always It's easy to joke with people, God, he really doesn't want him to maintain a good relationship with Fox.

If after "Sleepless in Seattle" is released, the video of "An Affair to Remember" sells 2 million copies as previous life heard the friend said, that is the sales of 60 million USD, which is equivalent to a big movie. Although Film Studio always declares that the profit of the video tape is less than 20%, and the remaining 80% is the cost, but as long as you understand a little bit about just knows this is nonsense, the profit margin of the video tape can easily exceed Fifty percent, higher than Box Office's profit ratio. Then, with the video tape of "An Affair to Remember", Eric can get at least 30 million USD income from this business.

Eric can almost think of some people who jumped like thunder because of this trend.

Drew saw the changing face of Eric and asked curiously: "How is it possible, but we took 3500,000 USD, Fox made money, how could we still hate us?"

"Yeah, but although we spent more than three million, but if it is less than a year, we made 30 million USD with this movie, what do you think about Fox?"

The girl covered her mouth in surprise. Eric asked her to take down the copyright of the movie, saying that it can make a fortune. Drew thought it was good for only one or two million, so when I just said the price of 3500,000 USD, The girl is still a little uneasy, if you can really make 30 million ...

"But ... it seems ... Eric, Fox people do n’t know that we bought it. I was afraid to come forward and be reminded of you. I specially found an agent who transferred it to copyright. For me, from beginning to end, Fox did n’t know that we were going to buy copyright for this movie ... "Drew said, and the voice was getting lower and lower, she soon thought that if the movie will rely on the impact of" Sleepless in Seattle "in the future Lili made a fortune, as long as the Fox people have no problem with IQ, they can definitely think of Eric.

Thinking of this, the girl stuck out her tongue: "Then, Eric, what shall we do now?"

Eric rubbed his temples and thought for a while, "Sleepless in Seattle" will be released at the end of the year, then the An Affair to Remember video tape will definitely create a sales miracle next year. It will be next year. By then, my contract with Fox has been fulfilled this year. Don't worry about Fox's stubbornness in film distribution. At most, in the future profit sharing, Fox will play a little trick, delay something like that, but Eric is not worried, because the terms of the contract signed last year are very detailed, once Fox In breach of contract, there is no possibility of winning the case. Eric is not like the previous life filmmakers. The film is sold out. It is only then that the share contract signed with Film Studio is not detailed enough, causing disputes for several years.

"consider as finished, just like that, the meat in your mouth can't be spit out anyway. Anyway, Fox sells voluntarily, and we also offer such a high price."

"Hey," small girl also hugs Eric coquettishly with a smug expression: "However, Eric, there is still a little thing ..."
