Chapter 561 Face, sometimes you can't drip
"There is sugar water at home, and I want to go back to see the fire first." This is Detective Renault's disregard for the new police chief. Hong Kong people naturally understand this. However, Playboy's language talent is good enough to say this sentence in English, and even has a little bit of New York slang.
The threat of eating fruit is much tougher than the cruel words of Vladimir, which makes Edward and others regret letting the Expendables release independently at the beginning. If the release of "The Expendables" was ruined at that time, although they offended Chen Jin fiercely, they also expressed their tough stance and bottom. Line, that is conducive to the immediate negotiations. After all, it is normal to have occasional conflicts, but you can't ignite at critical times.
However, everyone's mentality was very complicated at that time. For example, they wanted Chen Jin to hit a nail and knew the difficulty of release. At that time, they would have more say in future cooperation. For example, the release time of The Expendables was just before negotiating the distribution of the movie script in the second half of the year. Point, it's not easy for everyone to hold a stick in the open fire. They are afraid of making Chen Jin angry. For example, no one wants to be this villain. Most of them are watching coldly, and the obstruction scheme is too gentle.
Of course, more importantly, the ** given by Chen Jin and Jinchen Film Group to distributors is too big. Chen Jin's script and film ability have been verified for more than two years, and it has basically become an unshakable reality. It is not to produce one film a year, but dozens of films. If it is one, those distributors I definitely dare not take it, but with enough benefits, everyone can take the greatest risk to do this work.
Even Edward and others thought that the global publisher might suddenly unite with them.
The world is like this. With the first time, it is difficult to control it. Look at the front. There is only one in the first half of the year, and four in the second half of the year. According to this trend, within two years, the five major production companies will stand aside.
Regret is regret, and the current situation has to be dealt with. Moreover, whether it is the share or the right of issuance, it can't be Chen Jin's final say or the previous words. No matter how cruel you say, since you have spoken, it proves that there is room for maneuver. Therefore, he has always pretended to be a good man and unwilling to talk more. Lian Campbell stood up, made a joke first, and eased the atmosphere. "KING, no matter what the negotiation is, what I want to protest is that the snacks you made here before were provided, but now it's gone. I think you are very unfriendly..."
Chen Jin shrugged his shoulders and joked, "I can't help it, dear William, Barbara also complained to me at home that all the snacks had been eaten, but I just came back. I got up early in the morning to discuss this with you. Where did I come from?"
After receiving the same kind response, William Campbell cunningly avoided the whole conflict and discussed the issuance right in the first place. "KING, well, if you divide it, everyone should have more tacit understanding. Let's talk about the distribution rights first. The release of "The Expendables" is operated by you. Although the box office is good now, there are still many flaws during this period, and it has not even really completed the global release..."
"The condition that we can promise is that you can still have a film release in the second half of the year, but we will help you complete everything, so that you can learn the truly complete distribution model and global distribution channels. There are too many things you don't know about. If you are familiar with things, you can save at least 10% of the benefits,"
"Even if there is a consensus on the issuance right, we can make a small concession on the division as compensation..."
The distribution share is ultimately related to the distribution right. William Campbell and others insist on giving only one, that is to say, the distribution right is still in place, and they can delay the possibility of Jinchen Film Group entering the distribution channel in advance. In that way, all the distribution rights of Jinchen Film Group are still in their hands - in the division. It's just a drizzle to give up a little profit to completely lose the right to issue. That's why William Campbell is so "generous".
Chen Jin naturally understood this and responded with a smile, "No, no, no, dear William, we should have greater sincerity, but I think more independent distribution can be conducive to our company's understanding of the whole film industry."
Obviously, everyone has a long-term vision, and the control of the distribution right has become the biggest disagreement at present. He has not said anything. Paramount's Baker frowned at this time, "If it continues to be so deadlocked, everyone can really sit and wait for lunch. Of course, I absolutely don't mind eating a meal. "Lunch."
He also made a joke before he said seriously: "Can we have a more compromise plan? The interests of the issuance right are too big. We must also be responsible to the shareholders of the company. The most important thing is to satisfy everyone in the protection of their respective interests. What do you think?"
"Since Mr. Baker said so, he must already have your idea." Chen Jin made a gesture of invitation, "I'm happy to listen to your opinion. If everyone can reach it as soon as possible, I will be happy to be a chef for you."
Baker nodded, "After thinking about it, I don't know if everyone agrees or not, that is, we can let you have the distribution rights of two films every time you publish the script next, that is to say, you should be able to get the independent distribution rights of four films a year, but we must make an appointment. In the next four years, nothing can be changed..."
Old and cunning. For four years, Chen Jin almost wanted to scold him. Fortunately, he still wanted to eat for a meal. Nai's, and the dog could not be fed to him. Chen Jin simply didn't answer. Dennis Zhang said, "We agree with this form of cooperation, but the conditions have to be changed, that is, every time the script is published, We can get the independent distribution rights of four films. Moreover, we only promise not to make any changes in two years..."
Dennis Zhang also bit the premise that every time the script is published, there is actually a big conspiracy, that is, the playboy will soon be changed from twice a year to three times a year. Then, if there are four copies at a time, it will be twelve copies a year, then how big it will be.
What about Baker? He is not stupid. He is very smart. He didn't say it once every six months, because once Chen Jin suddenly ran out of talent and changed to produce a script only once a year, it would be a big loss. Moreover, he said that every time he issued a script, he wanted to urge Chen Jin to produce a script twice a year. However, he did not expect that Chen Jin had a The possibility of having a script three times a year, perhaps, in his mind, he feels that it is the limit to have a script twice a year.
However, he didn't expect it, but someone thought of it. Edward's old fox smiled and said, "I think this form of cooperation is also good. However, since there are two film distribution rights according to each script, we should also have the distribution rights for every play. THERE IS A LIMIT LIMIT FOR THE NUMBER OF SCRIPTS. OTHERWISE, IF KING SCRIPTS JUST SCRIPTS TO BE SCRIPTS OUT EVERY TIME, MORE THAN A TEN TIMES A YEAR, AND WE WILL BE A FINISHED.
This guy smiled. Dennis Zhang's good temper also planned to kick him in the face, but he remained silent and just insisted: "The number of scripts and the number of scripts in a year can be negotiated, but we insist that every time the script is published, there must be four movies released. Right."
This simple thing is becoming more and more complicated, from the number of each script to the distribution rights after each script, and the duration of this form of cooperation.
However, in the next negotiations this morning, the playboy is basically a visitor, or she is flirting with the young lady. This boring waste of saliva is really not what he loves.
At noon, he didn't mean to invite the five major productions to dinner. For the five major productions, they also need to discuss in a timely manner and make more preparations for the next final negotiations. After all, this is related to the next few years, and it must be very hard to talk about it. There is no intention to eat.
When they went downstairs, the reporters were waiting in the parking lot and almost blocked the parking lot. They all surrounded them as soon as they went. This time, both Chen Jin and the five major productions stopped. The first question was to ask Chen Jin, "KING, is this negotiation going well? Have you reached a cooperation. No, no."
"Not yet!" Chen Jin's words shocked everyone a little, but he seemed to be joking next. "You know, I'm an honest person. I really don't know much about this kind of roundabout negotiation. I almost fell asleep, or I suddenly found that my stomach was protesting, and I knew I was going to have lunch."
At this time, a guy probably wanted to sow discord and make the scene more popular. He asked Tyron of MGM, "Mr. Tyron, you said last time that KING was an insatiable guy with his character. Do you still insist on thinking so now?"
Unfortunately, Tyron is a cunning old fox. He is extremely thick-skinned. He leaned on Chen Jin's shoulder with a smile and scolded, "Nonsense, I've never said such a thing. It was fabricated by some reporters to attract attention. I have always appreciated and respected KING..."
Some people say that most of the time, people's face can actually be unwanted. Tyron is like this at this time. He doesn't blush and lies. "If I see the relevant comments again, I will send him a lawyer's letter so that he can't eat it."
However, it's nothing to do this in this industry. There is even a tacit understanding between entertainers and bigwigs. It's always not good to do too much and be in a hurry. For example, today you fabricate that you have a good relationship with a female star. If there are unspoken rules, he can't really sue you, but he occasionally plays tricks. You must not expose him and let him not step down from the stage. This is not a big deal, but it is to offend others in death, but you should be careful that others miss you.
