1141: Congratulations on gaining the friendship of Behemoth Industries

If you can't do that, then I ask the assistant to arrange the return flight for you?

Plane?

Even if he broke his leg, Ignatius was reluctant to leave the Behemoth Industry empty-handed.

Distribution rights for Drifting City: Rise ......

Ignatius begged Ye Qing to give him two minutes to think, and Ye Qing made a gesture of please.

The "Drifting City" trilogy is the most time-consuming effort of Ignatius.

He is counting on the series to bring him greater fame and wealth.

The first part of "Drifting City" brought him a lot of wealth, but the huge investment in the second part made his liquidity go straight to the bottom. Fortunately, it is not surprising that the second box office can bring him greater wealth.

Fortune is coming, but fame is still a cut away from Hollywood's top wire. Perhaps when the final part of the trilogy is a complete success, Ignatius will have a chance to reach the top.

Since the beginning of this year, Huaxia's box office has had a tendency to rank first in the world box office of the year.

Naturally, we should be particularly cautious in dealing with the issue of Huaxia.

The exclusive distributor of Huaxia is Glory Film and Television, and if their publicity and distribution work has entered the final stage, the distribution right of the film will be directly revoked.

What happens to that......

There is no doubt that Ignatius will lose money to the point of bankruptcy.

Glory Film and Television is Party A, and Ignatius is Party B. The contract stipulates that, unless the cooperation is terminated due to force majeure, Party B shall compensate three times the publicity and distribution costs if it voluntarily terminates the cooperation for any reason.

The cost of publicity and distribution is 200 million yuan.

Closer to $100 million in compensation, Ignatius certainly can't afford it.

Even if you can dig it out, this kind of fruit is about to ripen, but the practice of picking it by someone else is extremely rare in the global film and television industry. The damage to the reputation is small, and the lawsuit filed by Glory Film and Television to Hollywood is big.

Just as Ignatius was fighting, Ye Qing shook his head, "Mr. Ignatius, the time for two minutes of consideration has arrived. ”

"Now is the time for you to make your choice. ”

Ignatius hurriedly came back to his senses and said cautiously: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, you know that even if I agree to this request, I will need the permission of the other two investors of this film, and this film is not mine alone. ”

Ye Qing smiled, "That's your business." ”

"Do you care so much about the movie "Drifting City: Rising" because you see his huge potential?"

Ignatius preconceived that Ye Qing was a fan of his work, otherwise he would not be able to explain why he had to get the distribution rights of this film at such a moment.

"Like you, I'm very optimistic about its potential. Ignatius was pleased and a little embarrassed to be recognized, "I think if I insist on doing that, my investors should be able to pass, but I can't pay the liquidated damages in the contract for the time being." ”

"Mr. Ignatius, you are wrong. ”

Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not optimistic about the potential of this movie, in fact, I haven't even watched your last work, I just don't like Glory Film and Television." ”

"I came to you simply to ask you to terminate your cooperation with Glory Film and Television. ”

"Liquidated damages can be compensated, but not now, let alone in accordance with the requirements of the contract. ”

Ye Qing sat down, patted Ignatius on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I don't think you will be willing to compensate them for three times the publicity and distribution costs so happily." ”

Ignatius' expression suddenly fell into a stupor.

This young president didn't even read his last work......

It hurt Ignatius' pride too much.

Ignatius was in a daze for dozens of seconds before answering Ye Qing's question.

Of course, he was reluctant, and he even thought about how good it would be if he didn't have to pay liquidated damages.

But this is simply impossible, the contract signed by both parties is there. As long as the legal department of Glory Film and Television is dispatched, Ignatius will have to pay if he does not pay at that time.

"Of course the lawsuit has to be fought. ”

There was a bad hint of encouragement in Ye Qing's tone, "You know, now those giant companies in the Huaxia film and television industry are fighting against the giant beast industry, and Glory Film and Television is the first to bear the brunt." ”

"The contract can't be changed, but in the 200 million publicity, is there no water?"

"100 percent. Ignatius had a look on his face.

The film and television industry around the world has a similar routine. Half of the claimed 200 million publicity and distribution expenses can really be used in practice, even if it is operated with conscience.

The other half that was floated was, of course, in the pocket of the issuer.

This is the basic operation of the film and television industry, and it is true that the distributor has lost the publicity and distribution costs, but they also have to bear the possibility of losing their money.

Because this publicity and distribution fee is paid in advance by the distributor, when the box office is returned, the first thing is to make up the distribution fee, and the remaining box office revenue will be divided according to the contract.

If the publisher blindly picks a work on the street, after the huge publicity and distribution costs are smashed, they can only swallow the bitter fruit.

Ye Qing showed such a look, "There is moisture, which means that there is a problem of deliberate misreporting by the issuer in the publicity and distribution expenses." ”

"They sue on the issue of compensation, of course you have to apply for an investigation, if you don't investigate the real publicity costs, how can you compensate?"

Ye Qing continued to teach him, "This is the purpose of my invitation to you, to take away the distribution rights of Glory Film and Television, and let him get into an international business lawsuit dispute with you." ”

"I've investigated Glory Films, and they don't have much liquidity left in their accounts. Without the film's box office recovery, they would have fallen into a situation of broken funds. ”

"I want you to drag this dispute for more than half a year, can you do it?"

"Yes!" Even if Ye Qing didn't say it, Ignatius would be able to delay it for as long as he wanted.

"Alright, now tell me your answer. ”

Ye Qing looked at the receptionist standing next to him, and the latter immediately nodded knowingly. If the guy refuses, he will notify the person in charge, cancel Ignatius's travel arrangements, and send him back to the United States.

"I, I, can I ask one last question?" Ignatius stood up and said anxiously, "Mr. Ye, you must understand that when I decided to change the distribution rights of the movie "Drifting City: Rising" to you. ”

"I entered into a stud gamble of fate. ”

"I can't predict the box office performance of Drifting City: Rise on holographic glasses, but I know that it must be far smaller than the traditional cinema chain that can currently cover the entire city of China. ”

"Not only that, but I would also be in a long contract dispute and my standing in Hollywood would drop a lot. ”

"So, Mr. Ye, can I ask, after I pay for this, can I gain something other than the box office?"

After speaking, Ignatius bumped into his courage and looked at Ye Qing directly.

In this gamble of fate, Ignatius had nothing of his own chips.

That phone call at the White House was a bargaining chip, and now it's up to the young president to see what he means.

Ye Qing pointed at himself, "You can harvest the friendship of the Behemoth Industry." ”

Ignatius gritted his teeth and roared, "Good!"

"As soon as the distribution contract is signed, I send you the original copy of the film. ”

For the sake of friendship, Ignatius supplied.

His hands behind his back trembled slightly, and he knew that once the contract was signed, his reputation in Hollywood and Huaxia would plummet.

But it's all worth it, as long as he can lie in the arms of the giant beast industry, even if he offends all Hollywood, he can still rise and climb the mountain of higher achievements.

With the support of Behemoth Industries and the White House, others are not only able to say a few whining nonsense that does not hurt?

At the same time, he also sent a mourning white rose in advance for the future of Glory Film and Television and several other giant film and television companies.
