Chapter 318: Negotiation and Cooperation

What Liu Wei and Zheng Yan care about in their hearts, Spielberg couldn't be clearer. If it was just an ordinary film, he wouldn't be so careful, but in his opinion, whether it is "Schindler's List" or "Truman's World", they are all movies that have the hope of hitting the Oscars, and naturally they will not let go easily.

If it is just a mercenary businessman, whether it is Liu Wei's plan or Spielberg's proposal, an agreement must be reached, but neither of them is the other, and neither of them is short of money.

"Steven, you see that's good, let's each give way. Amperin can be the producer of the film, that is, the investor, but the distributor must be Longteng Entertainment, and I will not give in to this. ”

If producing a good movie is a proof of a company's strength, then as an investor, investing in a good movie also proves his investment vision. Liu Wei wants Longteng Entertainment to contract all the halos, but at present, this seems a bit unrealistic.

The most important thing is that Liu Wei is not very confident in his heart. If it is in Hong Kong City, Longteng Entertainment is already a mature film company, and it wants people, money, and things, but in the United States, there are only the inconspicuous signboards of Longteng Entertainment, plus the script provided by Zheng Yan, and finally he is the commander of the light pole.

According to the plot background set by Zheng Yan, the filming of "Schindler's List" was basically in winter, and now it is still too late to start work. As for "Truman's World", it doesn't happen to be the right filming season now, and it is simply unacceptable to say that Liu Wei should wait a few more months, or even a year.

"What about the other scripts? Since you have shown me so many scripts today, you must not just show me, you naturally have plans to cooperate, how can other scripts cooperate?"

Seeing that Liu Wei's attitude is very resolute, Spielberg does not want to continue to argue with Liu Wei about a film. In his opinion, if he can produce several other films, it is also a good choice, which is better than nothing at all.

Seeing that Spielberg had the intention of making concessions, Liu Wei should have felt happy, but after hearing Spielberg's words, Liu Wei couldn't be happy again.

According to Liu Wei's plan, as long as the first film can be successful, he will have capital in the future, and then talk about the cooperation of other films, and even find a few more cooperative companies to bid for each other. As for coming up with so many scripts at one time, it was to attract Spielberg and take the lead in the negotiations, but he didn't expect that Spielberg would not give him a chance at all.

"Steven, if the cooperation of the next few films is determined now, aren't you worried that if the effect is not good, it will bring trouble to Amperin? You know, now we are just optimistic about the script, but after the film is made in the future, it is still unknown whether the audience will accept it. ”

"It's not a problem at all, I still believe in my own vision, and as for my ability to direct, I don't doubt myself. If I am satisfied with the way the other films have worked together, I can make concessions on the first film. ”

"I can even pause my plans and prioritize Schindler's List. Speaking from the heart, when I first discussed this movie with Zheng Yan, I wanted to make him, and now that I have seen the script, this feeling is even more urgent. ”

Liu Wei is just thinking about how to maximize benefits, while Zheng Yan is different. Spielberg's idea, which was originally plagiarized, if he ate meat and didn't give the other party a sip of soup, Zheng Yan also felt that it was unreasonable.

"Steven, third brother, I think you can compromise a bit. At present, Longteng Entertainment just needs an influential film to announce its arrival to the American film industry. And Amperin Entertainment now also needs a good film to change the public's opinion. ”

In this case, "Schindler's List" is produced by Longteng Entertainment, and Amperin Entertainment is the investor. As for the next films such as "Truman's World" and "Jurassic Park", they can be produced by both parties. ”

After hearing Zheng Yan's words, Liu Wei, who originally wanted to fight for it, no longer insisted, but Spielberg was a little unwilling.

"Zheng Yan, which step do you think we should shoot first?"

The film "Truman's World", both in terms of conception and the problems reflected in it, is very attractive, but Spielberg is still more optimistic about the movie "Schindler's List".

Zheng Yan can also guess some of Spielberg's thoughts, although Zheng Yan feels a little guilty about plagiarism, but since it is related to the development of the company, Zheng Yan will not give in easily.

"Steven, of course, is filming Schindler's List first. On the one hand, the background of the story, it is winter now, and if the progress is fast enough, the film will be released this year. On the other hand, although the film reflects the genocide in World War II, on the whole, it is still a critique of war. ”

"If it weren't for the war that swept the world, there wouldn't have been that tragedy. Now that the Gulf War has just ended, and as we all know, it was also the result of an unjust aggression, I think it's the right time to launch Schindler's List. ”

Zheng Yan just wanted to convince Spielberg in a more acceptable way, and as for the Gulf War, it was just a temporary excuse.

"In that case, happy cooperation!"

Spielberg also knew that this was already the best result that could be obtained, so he did not continue to insist.

"Happy working together!"

After the negotiation, Spielberg immediately left the manor. He also wanted to start filming the film as soon as possible, so he went straight to arranging filming and casting.

"Zheng Yan, I think we should fight for it again, maybe we can get greater benefits. ”

"Third brother, what are we opening a company for? Isn't it making money, as long as the platform is set up, what is the big deal with those so-called false names and giving a little bit to others. ”

The day after the negotiation between the two parties, Longteng Entertainment and An Peilin announced the news of cooperation between the two parties, and there is more than one film to cooperate. This did not make much of a splash in the United States, but when the news returned to Hong Kong City, it caused an uproar. Gangcheng Films has always had the idea of entering the United States, but it has not been successful, and I can't imagine that Longteng Entertainment has done it just a few years after its establishment.
