Chapter 173: A call from the General Staff

"You listen now, change the negotiation immediately, if necessary, you can agree to the box office sharing conditions proposed by the other party, but we have to get at least fifteen points of box office sharing, this is the bottom line, understand?"

……

"This matter will not be clear for a while, in short, I don't care what method you use, you must win the distribution rights of "Country Teacher", that's it, hang up!"

……

Victor probably never expected that at the moment of the call, he would be monitored by an unknown creature from outside the earth, and his own bottom line of negotiation would be leaked out so silently.

The steel hammer changed into the appearance of glasses, and said in Chen Xin's ear: "Old Dou, it seems that our Jihua has succeeded." 30% of the box office share, the conditions are very good!"

Chen Xin showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Thirty percent, China's imported account sharing film is 35 percent!"

"Brother Chen, what did you say?"

Yu Shijian was a little strange, and Chen Xin muttered to himself.

Chen Xin shook his head and said, "Oh, Brother Yu, it's nothing! I'm wondering what Warner's bottom line is." ”

Yu Shijian smiled and was about to speak, when his mobile phone rang suddenly.

Yu Shijian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he looked up and said to Chen Xin: "Lionsgate's phone number! Brother Chen, it seems that Hollywood has realized this opportunity, let me see what the people from Lionsgate say." ”

Chen Xinwei was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, it seems that we are ready to sit on the ground and raise the price!"

Yu Shijian nodded, a smile of understanding on his face. Glancing at where Victor was, he said, "Brother Chen, he's back, you deal with it first." ”

Not long after Yu Shijian got up to answer the phone, Victor came over with a glass of red wine from the waiter's hand, and saw Chen Xin sitting alone in the corner, Victor said, "Mr. Chen, where is Mr. Yu?"

Chen Xin pointed to the shadow not far away and said, "Lionsgate's distribution department is calling, he is going to pick up the ......"

Victor's face changed slightly, and he recovered immediately. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen." Good news for you, I just got a call from Lucas, the company's director of distribution, and we decided to double the price and buy out the distribution rights of The Country Teacher in North America for $20 million. We hope you'll prioritize our Time Warner conditions. ”

Looking at Victor's face and panting. Chen Xin had to admire the cunning of these old foxes in the business world.

If it weren't for the presence of steel hammers. Chen Xin will really be fooled by these old guys.

Victor thought that if the offer was doubled, the other party's face would show a more or less strange look, but he waited for a long time. Chen Xin didn't react at all.

Victor chuckled in his heart and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this price?"

Chen Xin smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Victor, I'm sorry, we can't accept it!"

Victor said, "What do you mean?"

Chen Xindao: "One price, 35 percent of the box office!"

"What?

As if he had heard some incredible story, Victor stood up at once.

Many guests turned their attention to the location of Chen Xin and Victor.

Victor made an apologetic gesture, then slowly sat back and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, this condition is too high, there has never been a Chinese film that can reach this level!"

Chen Xin smiled and said: "There was no before, it doesn't mean that there is no now, Mr. Victor, I put forward this condition, but there is a basis." ”

Victor said, "On what basis?"

Chen Xindao: "For Hollywood blockbusters imported from China, the producer's share is usually 35%. I am now making the same conditions, just for the sake of fairness. ”

Victor frowned and said: "I know Mr. Chen's standard, but there are usually box office requirements in such a film contract, and the total box office must pass a line before the producer can get 35%, otherwise it is impossible to get such a high share." ”

Chen Xindao: "This is no problem at all, or we will do this, if "Country Teacher" has a box office of more than 100 million in North America, then I can get a 35% share, if it can't exceed 100 million, then we won't collect a penny!"

Victor was choked by Chen Xin all of a sudden, and said for a while that he didn't say anything.

Whether the box office of "Country Teacher" in North America can break 100 million, if it is placed before yesterday, no one dares to guarantee it, but do you need to say more now?

Chen Xin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Mr. Victor, if you can't agree to this condition, then I can only say sorry." ”

As he spoke, Chen Xin stood up with a smile, walked straight to Yu Shijian's side, and whispered a few words to him who had just finished answering the phone, Yu Shijian was stunned for a while, and then turned his head and shook his head at Victor, with a helpless expression.

Then, the two went to Thomas Tours to exchange a few words with him, and then left the reception directly.

Victor slammed his glass on the table and scolded, "Fuck, damn the chinks!"

………

Leaving the reception scene, Yu Shijian went directly to Lionsgate Pictures.

The person who called just now was the director of the distribution department of Lionsgate, and the other party offered a 20% share of the box office, and in Yu Shijian's view, Lionsgate's sincerity is much higher than that of Warner.

So he directly made an appointment with the other party to meet at a meeting place, and prepared to go directly to the interview.

Chen Xin knows Warner's bottom line, but anyway, now that he has the initiative, he is happy to dry the other party for a few more days.

However, he did not go with Yu Shijian to meet with the representatives of Lionsgate, and after explaining the bottom line of the negotiation with Yu Shijian, Chen Xin returned directly to his room.

TT information from the Intelligence Department of the General Staff is here!

The steel hammer jumped off Chen Xin's body, and his electronic eyes emitted a strange light, scanning the hotel room, and said to Chen Xin: "Lao Dou, there is no monitoring equipment, everything is normal." ”

Chen Xin nodded, called his laptop, boarded the TT, and clicked on the beating avatar of the General Staff Officer.

General Staff: "Hello comrades who have lost sight of the war. Last night, our side monitored that there had been a large-scale change in the US strategic nuclear missile forces and air force units, and in addition to the strategic nuclear submarines that are being maintained by the US Navy, almost all of the remaining ballistic missile nuclear submarines have gone to sea. In addition, I don't know what you think about the UFO incident that happened in Las Vegas last night, and I hope to reply as soon as possible. ”

Chen Xin and Gangyi glanced at each other, and Chen Xin smiled: "Gangyi, the country can't sit still for last night's incident." ”

laughed and said, "Old Dou, do you want to charge another intelligence fee from the General Staff Officer?" (To be continued......)
