Lack of intelligence is a taboo in negotiations.
After returning to the hotel, Quincy immediately asked his staff to collect all the information about Tianman.
Thanks to Tianman's recent publicity, their collection work is particularly smooth.
And then they were thrilled.
At the beginning of the negotiation, he Chen's young appearance made them think that he was a rich second generation, so Quincy had a slight contempt for him psychologically.
However, from the information collected now, we find that they are very wrong.
Just two years ago, he was a child of an ordinary family who had just participated in the college entrance examination, had less than a million savings, had enough food and clothing, and was not well-off.
Then he started from scratch, started comics, and established dmfun. His comic adapted game has become popular all over the country, and now it has spread to neighboring countries.
He has revitalized hundreds of industrial markets by himself, and his position in China seems to be comparable to that of Yi Tianxing. Although he is a foreigner, he is very familiar with some celebrities in China, especially Yi Tianxing, who has numerous copyrights in his hands.
In their eyes, the experience of the "rich second generation" is enough to make an inspirational film itself... It seems that inspirational film is a bit wrong, because if they don't see the news with their own eyes, they are afraid that their inspirational documentary will be regarded as a commercial film.
Later, Quincy and others entered the world of comics. He wanted to know whether he Chen was just fooling himself, or whether he really owned countless copyrights better than curse.
He Chen and others continued to hold a meeting to discuss how much money was appropriate for the slaughter.
On the surface, he Chen seems very calm, but now they are very short of money. And there's only one film company in North America that's interested in it, and they're talking about it. Based on the principle of being lazy to travel. So he Chen decided to kill universal cinema as much as possible.
Fortunately. Apart from Tianman, he didn't even know about the flourishing age of close cooperation and Tianying factory. He Chen made a high-profile effort in front of Kunxi.
"Slaughtering is a kind of knowledge, which not only needs to be slaughtered ruthlessly, but also needs to be slaughtered willingly. The highest level is to make him feel that he has taken advantage of himself after being slaughtered this time, and he will send himself to us for slaughtering next time!" He Chen said solemnly.
"Overseas copyright. I haven't touched it! The population in China is much larger than that in North America, but the box office is much smaller than that in North America. If we calculate by domestic standards, we will definitely lose out! " Zhou zhe said.
"Well! It's three million dollars for Tianying factory, and it's three million dollars for universal cinema! " Zhuang Bufan excitedly said that three million US dollars, converted into Chinese currency at the current exchange rate, is nearly 20 million!
As a specially invited consultant, director Yao attended the meeting as a nonvoting member. He despised Zhuang Bufan and said, "look, you are so promising. Do you think three million is a lot? For Hollywood. This kind of film with a high rate of return, even if it is the copyright fee of the pirated film. It's the same as white picking! Believe it or not, go now and tell him three million dollars. I'm sure he will sign a contract with you immediately. "
"Drug guide, give me some advice. You can't do without your benefits after it's done."
"Really? Well, you should come like this... "
……
The next day, hechen was ready to talk with Quincy and others. However, Quincy, with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, apologized to hechen and said, "Mr. hechen, I'm very sorry. Can you wait a few more days?"
This kind of reaction makes he Chen confused, but it doesn't matter to wait a few days. After he agrees, he asks Zhou Zhe, "didn't you invite them to have a big health care last night?"
Zhou zhe waved: "absolutely not! It's not easy to ask the cousin of Zhuang fatty's girlfriend's roommate's relatives to introduce me to a sister I like. I go to that place, don't I want to die? "
"Oh! Why did you leave me! "
"Soul light! You left me! If I don't work harder, do I want to die alone? "
"Then you can introduce me."
"I don't want to die."
After all, Quincy is a senior executive of universal cinema, not a drunkard. When he gets serious, he finally finds out that it is a huge gold mine in front of him!
So he immediately fed back the comics to universal cinema, let the professionals in the company evaluate whether the comics are adaptable and their potential value, and apply to the senior management for financial support - he felt that the investment authority he could use now was not enough.
It wasn't until five days later that Quincy found hechen again. Now his attitude is a little better and makes hechen look a little better."Mr. Ho, I have to say that you are the most talented person I have ever met!" As soon as Quincy came, he flattered hechen.
He Chen Indifference: "flattery and do not discount, now it is time to improve the point of sincerity?"
Quincy didn't like hechen's sarcasm. He said with a smile, "comics are really a good thing. They are totally different from reading and watching movies. I admire you for your vast and magnificent thinking like the starry sky. For curse and grudge, we are willing to contribute four million dollars! "
Up eight times, it seems sincere, but in hechen's eyes, this is not enough!
"Only this one?" He Chen asked.
Quincy asked his assistant to take out a piece of A4 paper, looked at the content of the record, and said: "the adaptation right of Doraemon is 5 million US dollars, the adaptation right of mobile soldier is 3 million US dollars, the adaptation right of EVA is 3 million US dollars, the adaptation right of dragon ball is 8 million US dollars, and the adaptation right of 9999 death methods of Porter is 1 million US dollars."
Quincy pays more attention to the potential of film adaptation. "Pet elf", "digital baby" and "Conan" have high popularity on dmfun, but after the evaluation of directors and screenwriters, the film market potential in the west is limited.
Universal cinema's appetite is really big, almost all the animation that hechen thinks has the potential of film adaptation are caught up, even the "mobile soldier Gunda" Gunda, which has just been serialized for a short time.
But there is only one story in curse, which can sell four million copyrights, and there are so many other stories. If hechen agrees. Isn't it a big loss?
So he Chen doesn't talk nonsense. Tell Quincy the terms that the director discussed with him directly: "I want 10% of the net profit of your film as the adaptation fee."
He Chen's comics all have a lot of stories, which means that they can be produced into a series. If one-time buy-out, then the sequel has nothing to do with hechen. But if it's this kind of sharing, although we have to bear certain risks, as long as we have a sequel, then we have money to take.
“wtf!” Quincy can't help but burst out a rude remark. The box office of the film was originally divided into several parties. On the one hand, theaters usually get the big end, and only half of them fall into the hands of producers. After the cost is removed, let hechen take 10%. Then they can make a little money in making movies!
Although universal cinema has a big business, the production and cinema lines can be monopolized by themselves to achieve the maximum profit. But he Chen only gave them the copyright, and he didn't do anything. He tried to get 10% in vain. Quincy dares to agree. No, tomorrow. I'll be fired in ten minutes.
"He Chen! Are you kidding? It must be a joke! But now we're talking about business. Please don't bring your comic humor to the negotiation table. It will be very unpleasant Quincy said in a deep voice.
Seeing Quincy's reaction, he Chen knew that his asking price had broken through their bottom line. However, it's the so-called asking for money everywhere and paying it back on the spot. How to bargain without setting the starting point higher?
The other side always insists on buy it out at a buy it out price, but he Chen knows the series value of those works, how can it be as they wish? So they are also biting profit sharing.
After Zhou Zhe and Quincy had a boring, wheezing, and making hechen drowsy bargaining.
Finally, Quincy reported to universal cinema and got the authorization, and signed a profit sharing contract with hechen, but it decreased from 10% to 3.5%.
According to the standard of the drug guide version of curse and resentment, the box office of 200 million yuan is divided into 100 million yuan by Tianying factory, and the cost of 10 million yuan is divided into 3.5% by hechen from 90 million yuan, and finally 3.15 million yuan is obtained.
It's a little higher than hechen's psychological minimum line. The most important thing is that no matter how many series they shoot, hechen has a share!
The more you shoot, the more profit hechen will make. He Chen believes that with Hollywood's super skill, as long as the series of films can make money, it will never stop. So on the whole, it's very cost-effective for hechen.
In terms of copyright, he Chen only sold the copyrights of curse, dinosaur of Mahavira and 9999 ways of death of porters. He thought that the Hollywood version of dragon ball almost blinded him, and the content film of EVA has the potential to become a commercial film of Pacific Rim.
Therefore, although universal cinema hopes to get other adaptations now, hechen still refuses in order to guarantee the quality. However, hechen promised that if hechen wanted to sell overseas adaptation rights, and their other works were well shot, hechen would give priority to universal cinema.
"Mr. congratulations, happy cooperation!"
"Cooperation is not pleasant. Universal Hollywood is so mean
“……”
"You like" the dinosaurs of Daxiong ". Do you want to shoot dinosaurs? For example, we use dinosaur eggs and time baggage to revive dinosaurs, and then we set up a dinosaur park on a small island, and then we see the story of tourists and out of control dinosaurs fighting for wisdom and courage. ""How do you know?"
"Don't you just like to make other people's stories messy? Dinosaurs are so cruel. How can they dance with them without blood and limbs? But it doesn't matter. I just ask you that when the movie comes out, don't call it "the dinosaur of Mahavira."
"... a master of so many wonderful stories."
"9999 ways of death for porters" you must want to make it a story about people who escape from an accident and then die in all kinds of messy accidents? "
"... no, our original plan was to extract those strange ways of death and make them into a low-cost movie, but it seems that what you said is even better! Thank you for your advice. I'll tell our screenwriter and director what you said
"..."
