Chapter 1179: Gambling agreement
Shangjing, the headquarters of Shengtang Entertainment, HN Pictures and Shengtang Entertainment's negotiations are still continuing.
In the meeting room, Shengtang Entertainment CEO Yu Ming answered the phone and said: "Mr. Schneider, our boss is going to talk to you in person."
Schneider, the representative of HN Pictures and the manager of the operation department, raised his eyebrows: "Oh, is the boss you talking about Mr. Feng Li?"
"Yes, it is President Li." Yu Ming nodded.
"Okay, I have long admired Mr. Li, and I am very honored to meet him." Schneider looked very happy.
Yu Ming smiled on the surface, mmp in his heart.
In fact, he asked to see Li Feng the first day he came to China, but was rejected by Shengtang Entertainment.
Damn, Schneider is just an operation manager, not even the director. What qualifications do you have to see President Li? It's not equal at all!
Although Yu Ming didn't know why Li Feng offered to see Schneider, Li Feng's words were orders and he could only obey.
Two hours later, Li Feng came to the Shengtang Entertainment headquarters alone and met Schneider who had been waiting for a long time.
After the two sides met each other and took a seat, Li Feng smiled and said, "Is it the first time for Mr. Schneider to come to China?"
"Oh no, no, I've been here many times before." Schneider laughed.
As the manager of the operation department of HN Pictures, Schneider has a lot of contacts with China Film Company. Under his leadership, some excellent China films have been introduced to the United States for screenings.
Li Feng nodded, and went straight to the subject: "I heard Yu Ming say that Mr. Schneider wants to buy out the copyright of "Fangcun Human World" in the United States for a price of 10 million US dollars?"
"Yes, this is the highest price we can give." Schneider said with a smile.
"If this is the sincerity of your company, then our negotiations will end here." Li Feng smiled slightly and raised his hand and said, "Send off the guest!"
"Yes, President Li!" Yu Ming stood up and asked Schneider out of the conference room.
Schneider's expression changed slightly: "Mr. Li, is this your way of hospitality?"
"We in China have an old saying, "Don't be too speculative." Since your company can only offer a buyout price of up to 10 million U.S. dollars, then we don't have to talk about it anymore. Let's get together. Li Feng said blankly.
Don't talk about the different cultures and tastes of the two countries. Since the other party came to China, it shows that he has realized the value of "Fang Cun Renjian".
What does buyout mean? It is to give you 10 million U.S. dollars. After the release of "Fang Cun Renjian" in the United States, all the proceeds have nothing to do with Shengtang Entertainment.
Judging from the box office created by "Fang Cun Renjian" so far, the $10 million buyout price is simply an insult to all the creators!
Can Li Feng agree to this condition?
Schneider did not expect Li Feng's attitude to be so determined, and he was stunned on the spot for a while.
"Mr. Schneider, please." Yu Ming came to Schneider and stretched out his hand.
"Wait a minute." Schneider took a deep breath: "I'll call the headquarters and see if I can increase the offer."
"It's okay." Li Feng ticked his mouth, playing with the taste: "But you'd better listen to my quotation first, don't you fail to meet my psychological expectations after you make a call. Isn't that a waste of time?"
Schneider was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, please."
Li Feng raised two fingers: "Two choices, first, the buyout fee is 100 million US dollars..."
"Impossible!" Schneider jumped directly from the chair.
100 million dollars? Is this Huaxia guy joking?
In the United States, a film with a production cost of more than 100 million U.S. dollars is a large-scale production film. Spend 100 million U.S. dollars to buy out the release rights of a Chinese movie in the United States? Then HN Pictures might as well invest 100 million US dollars to make a blockbuster film on its own!
The corner of Li Feng's mouth evokes a playful arc: "Don't be so excited, this is only the first choice, and there is a second choice."
"Huh" Schneider let out a foul breath and forced himself to calm down: "Okay, what is the second choice?"
"The second option is very complicated to say, but in fact it is very simple, that is, we sign a gambling agreement." Li Feng took out a cigarette to light it, and smiled.
Schneider raised his eyebrows: "The gambling agreement? To be specific!"
It can be seen that he is very interested in what Li Feng said about the gambling agreement.
Li Feng spit out a smoke ring and smiled: "If "Fang Cun Renjian" is released in the United States and earns more than $500 million in the box office, and the remaining profits after deducting operating costs, Shengtang Entertainment and HN Pictures will share the account."
"If the box office does not reach 500 million US dollars, then Shengtang Entertainment only needs 20 million US dollars in buyout fees."
"Huh?" Schneider moved in his heart, his face moved: "I can't make the decision by myself. I need to contact the headquarters."
"Yes, this is your right." Li Feng shrugged.
Schneider nodded, took out his phone and walked out of the meeting room.
At this time, Yu Ming said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, if the box office of "Fang Cun Renjian" does not exceed 500 million in the United States, wouldn't we lose money?"
Li Feng smiled and shook his head: "In fact, the buyout fee of 20 million US dollars is not low. After all, this is only the release copyright of a region in the United States, not to mention... I have confidence in "Fang Cun Renjian"."
The investment in "Fangcun Renjian" is 300 million Chinese currency. At present, this part of the investment has been fully recovered, and it has made a lot of money. Selling the copyright in other regions is pure profit.
Yu Ming nodded, feeling a little too greedy.
A few minutes later, Schneider came back with a blushing face: "Mr. Li, the headquarters found it interesting after listening to your suggestion, and they agreed."
Li Feng thought that the other party would be arguing with him for a while, and was a little surprised: "The leaders of your company are very decisive, not bad. Then I wish our cooperation success in advance. ."
In the next time, the two parties drafted a contract together, and when the two parties discussed the details, they could sign and seal it.
Taking advantage of the efforts to discuss the details, Li Feng and Schneider talked about the cooperation between the two parties to film the film.
Schneider showed great interest in this matter. Although the relationship between China and the United States is very complicated, the American businessmen only have interests in their eyes.
As long as he can make money, he doesn't care about your nationality and status.
"If your company agrees, Shengtang Entertainment is willing to invest 60%. As for the division, we will divide it according to the proportion of investment."
"In addition, I have one condition. The actor must be a Chinese. As for the director, heroine, supporting role, and post-production, I have no special requirements. HN Pictures can select in the United States."
"Oh, yes, the investment in this movie is about 500 million US dollars. My goal is to make a movie that can hit the world's highest box office in history."
Li Feng's eyes were burning and he said confidently.
