Chapter 711: Unscrupulous

sat down in the play, and after a shock, the two sides entered the topic and began to negotiate the release of "Infernal Affairs". X

"Mr. Chen, you see that we have also cooperated before, our "Infernal Affairs" has invested hundreds of millions, directed by Yang Muwen, starring Chen Feng, Liang Jia and other famous actors, I believe it can have good results......" Zheng Liaoyuan introduced with a smile.

When Zheng Liaoyuan asked him out, he guessed that this was the case, and "Infernal Affairs", which their studio invested and produced, was preparing to be released in the near future, and what he wanted to talk about must be the distribution.

It's just that...... Just the day before, Li Kang of Poseidon Group found him through the board of directors, and their "Prison Storm" also wanted to entrust their company to publish.

And one of the requirements is that it must not be drawn in the same theater as "Infernal Affairs"!

Comparatively speaking, whether it is external public opinion or within their group, they are more optimistic about the movie "Prison Storm", coupled with the relationship between Poseidon Group and the directors of their group, he can only be biased.

Although the director stated that the final decision rests with him, if this matter is not given to him some face, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult to promote his position in the future!

His eyes flickered for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he finally made a decision: "If it is usual, I am very willing to cooperate with you...... Mr. Yi's works, I am also very optimistic and sincere!"

"But...... I'm sorry, we can't help this time!" Chen Guang looked at Yi Shuihan's eyes and said firmly: "We, Huaying, have signed a contract with "Prison Storm" and distributed it...... They demanded that they never draw on the same batch as you!"

Hearing this, Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan's faces were solemn, this Huaying was originally their best choice, but they didn't expect the competition with Poseidon Group to continue to this stage!

Yi Shuihan sighed, in fact, it's normal to think about it, the quality of the movie is not considered for the time being, in any other aspect, Poseidon Group's "Prison Storm" has an advantage over their "Infernal Affairs"! It is understandable that they chose each other, but they are somewhat disappointed in their hearts.

"I'm really sorry, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time!" Chen Guang said apologetically, as a businessman, he naturally hopes to have a good relationship with all parties, although the other party is only a small studio at this time, but from the perspective of Yi Shuihan's development, he still has great prospects.

"It's okay, I understand!" Zheng Liaoyuan said disapprerovantly: "Anyway, thank you to Mr. Chen for giving us this face, I know how many parties begged to invite you to a meal but couldn't invite it!"

Zheng Liaoyuan's compliment made Chen Guang feel very happy, business is not human, there is always an opportunity to cooperate!

"Haha, the invitations of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Yi must be obtained!" Chen Guang smiled and said: "Two, I'm sorry that this matter didn't help, but if you can consider postponing it, and "Prison Storm" will be diverged from the schedule, we Huaying will definitely support it and push it as the main movie!"

Reciprocating with peach, they are so knowledgeable, Chen Guang will naturally consider it for them.

Originally, the competition between two movies of the same type was a lose-lose situation, if Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan and others were willing to take a step back, he was still willing to cooperate!

Yi Shuihan thought for a moment and shook his head resolutely.

First of all, Yi Shuihan didn't want to give in, he thought that the quality of "Infernal Affairs" would not be worse than any film, and all the preparations and arrangements had been made properly, if it was delayed, it would cause great economic losses.

In addition, even if they are willing to postpone, how can they guarantee that there will not be strong films in that period!

In this way, it is better to rise to the challenge and compete with "Prison Storm"!

Although Huaying's path doesn't work, they have other options.

"With all due respect, take a step back and open the sky!" Zhang Guang finished speaking, punished himself and said, "Sorry, I said too much!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen for the reminder, but we don't plan to change the plan for the time being, if the plan changes, we will definitely find you as soon as possible. Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile.

I only ate fifty minutes for a meal, and since the cooperation has not been negotiated, there is naturally not much to talk about.

Fortunately, it is good to get together and disperse, and there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Huaying hasn't negotiated, then let's go talk to other distribution companies!" Zheng Liaoyuan sighed and said: "But from Huaying, you can see the outside world's opinion of our movie!"

"When the time comes, let's see the real chapter under my hands!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile: "Infernal Affairs will bring them a big surprise!"

"Well, I'll talk to other companies!" Zheng Liaoyuan nodded and said, everything is difficult at the beginning, especially for studios like them who are new to this field, there are too few cards to negotiate.

Zheng Liaoyuan's actions were very fast, and on the third day, he made an appointment with the distribution manager of the Kyoto New Film Association.

The Kyoto New Film Association has a background of bigwigs in the financial circle, and even has this inextricable connection with ZF, so it will be difficult to talk to them.

Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan were already mentally prepared, but they didn't expect to start negotiating!

"15% of the issuance fee? Mr. Hua is not joking, is he?" Zheng Liaoyuan said in a deep voice.

"I never joke about this kind of thing, think about it yourself!" Hua Ping said with a smile, as if he didn't feel that he was making any excessive demands.

Yi Shuihan's face was also gloomy, basically the market price is about 10% of the distribution fee, even if the new work "Diary from the Past", which has no popularity, only has 12% of the cost, this "Infernal Affairs", which has a larger investment and a more luxurious lineup, actually costs 15% of the distribution fee!

"Lao Zheng, you have to figure it out, our new film association has no shortage of films at all, similar movies of the same period have already been pushed by "Prison Storm", and we will push you this "Infernal Affairs" that is not favored by the outside world! You have to consider the risk we take, this 15% distribution fee is already very favorable!" Warburg Pincus continued, as a veteran distribution company with heritage, he has the strength to say such things!

Zheng Liaoyuan looked at the leisurely Huaping opposite, and felt disgusted in his heart!

They felt that the reason why the lion opened his mouth like this was nothing more than bullying them for not having strength.

This 15% distribution share even breaks the unspoken rules of this industry, and it is not uncommon for movies with such high distribution costs, but they are all unpopular movies that only seek to be released and not to make a profit.

And their "Infernal Affairs" will never fall to that point!

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence! With such a greedy distribution company, Yi Shuihan doesn't even want to continue talking with them, there is no point!

Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan got up to leave, and Hua Ping's voice floated behind them: "Xiao Yi, I advise you to think about it! I know that Huaying is already going to release the film "Prison Storm", and several other distribution companies are not optimistic about your "Infernal Affairs", as far as our group is willing to give you this price, believe it or not, if you go to other distribution companies, they may give you 20% of the distribution fee!"

Yi Shuihan laughed angrily, it turned out that the problem was here! No wonder they dared to be so unscrupulous!

There are only a few groups with distribution qualifications, and even fewer are strong, and if they join forces to pit any movie, it will definitely be a pit and a quasi! Otherwise, it will only be Zhao's small distribution companies!

And this new movie from Yi Shuihan's studio has become the best choice for squeezing, whether there are people from the Poseidon Group who are in the way of it, Yi Shuihan doesn't know, but he will never compromise because of this!r
