Chapter 62: The Endorsement of Losing Money
Qi Zimo, who has been in South Korea for nearly three months, has entered the right pace of life and work, and has made corresponding plans and preparations for various companies in his hand, and everything is going according to plan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
was a hundred secrets, but he forgot that before he came to South Korea, there was an important matter that the eldest young master was asking for.
"Qi Zimo, my big brother Zimo! As soon as you go to South Korea, you won't be there? I still saw it on the headlines before I knew you were still alive. ”
No, Qi Zimo, who had only arrived at the office for a short time, received a cross-border call full of resentment.
Qi Zimo didn't react for a while to where he had made Young Master Wang so aggrieved, so he asked tentatively: "What's the matter? It's not the New Year yet, do I need to call you to pay New Year's greetings?"
"Ouch, how dare I ask your eldest brother to give me a New Year's greeting, do you remember the special effects company I invested in?"
Qi Zimo then remembered what he had promised.
"I'm so embarrassed this time, I haven't stopped since I came to Korea. No one reminded me, so I forgot about it for a while. You send me the address and details of the company, and make an appointment with the operator there. ”
Since Brother Qi said so, Young Master Wang could only accept it helplessly.
"So it's a matter of going alone, at least find an assistant. Let's not talk about this in advance, there is another thing I want to find my eldest brother to work with, and I may not be able to take it alone. ”
Listening to the other party's tone, it seems that he is going to make a big move.
"You know Riot's League of Legends, right?"
"I heard you mention it last time. ”
"Well, we guys also knew how hot esports is last time. Not only the game itself is popular, but also peripheral products and videos are very marketable as long as they have something to do with it. I know you're not interested in those small profits, but the only thing you haven't developed yet is film and television IP. That has done a good job in fame and fortune should not be underestimated. Now, it may be the reason why the capital investment is not small and the domestic confidence in this area is insufficient, and no one has hit this idea yet. ”
"Do you want to prefer the Avengers sci-fi version or the digital virtual animated version?"
"How can this kind of game IP be a digital virtual version, even if the animation effect is sufficient, the appeal is insufficient. Of course, it is to follow the trend to make a live-action version, I want to make this IP a classic, and the trilogy is the beginning. "Young Master Wang's appetite is not small now.
"You're getting more and more greedy now, aren't you afraid of capsizing?"
"Hehe, I'm almost thirty. If I don't do anything to get famous, the elders in the family will really look down on me. Besides, isn't this with you? Brother Zimo is out of the horse, one on the top two. ”
Influenced by his subordinate employees, Master Wang's kung fu is increasing day by day.
"By the way, call the special effects company out?" Qi Zimo seemed to ask something that was completely untouched.
Young Master Wang was like seeing a ghost, he was sure that this idea of killing two birds with one stone was a good plan that he had only come from thinking about it for a long time last night, but he didn't expect it to be easily associated with Qi Zimo.
This is the gap, Young Master Wang's growth road still has a long way to go.
"Brother, I'm really convinced. This matter is very important to me, and I put all my net worth on you, brother. ”
"Is the endorsement and operation rights of League of Legends in the hands of Penguin or Fist?"
Qi Zimo knew about the wholly-owned acquisition of Riot by the domestic Internet giant Penguin, but he did not know the specific division of the operation rights.
"It seems that Fist is still operating independently. What do you want to do, brother, LOL is so popular now, they won't spend a lot of money to find someone to endorse, but maybe the celebrities are begging for a contemporary spokesperson. ”
"Don't you want to make a live-action version? Then we're going to ask Fist for us to endorse it. ”
"Are you saying that the price is too great to make a name for yourself? ”
"Isn't there no pressure if you're exclusive, how much more does your wife have?"
"Brother, why do I think your words make people panic? I think I'm a little big to play, but I'm a little afraid to play compared to you!"
"Less wordy, hurry. How much is left, it is calculated in US dollars. ”
"And ...... I have a working capital of about $130 million, but that's all my net worth. ”
"It's only 130 million, and you want to start with a trilogy? Do you think it's still in the 90s, are you ready to use domestic level for special effects?
At first, Qi Zimo estimated that all the net worth that Young Master Wang said, including all the funds he had "cheated and abducted" in various places over the years, was about 300 million US dollars, but he didn't expect that it was actually less than half.
"Didn't I think there was a brother? The production cost of each of the three films was $100 million, and Hollywood's investment was pretty much the same. We will inject the first two production funds first, and the remaining 60 million will definitely be able to win the agency rights of film and television IP, and when the third film starts shooting, the funds for the first film will also be withdrawn, and there will be no problem of broken capital chain. ”
Qi Zimo quickly calculated the approximate cost in his mind, and the final result was not much different from Master Wang's account.
"Okay, I'll match you with the amount of funds, and the cost of making the film will remain the same. However, we can only account for 60% of the film's revenue, and the other 40% of the investment funds make the major film companies in the United States and Asia join in the excitement. ”
"Why? Brother, we don't have enough money. ”
"Don't you want to be famous? everyone will help you when you have to make money, as long as the project is running well, you don't have to worry about earning land, don't be greedy." This can also share the investment risk, do you really think it will be 100% successful?"
"Well, I'm short-sighted. Brother, you go on and say, I listen to you. ”
"In addition to the cost of film production, we still have 80 million funds left, strive for 50 million to win the film and television IP agency rights, and use 30 million to win the operation rights of game endorsements. At that time, contact Uncle Ma and let him come forward as a middleman, and the price will be fairer. ”
"Don't you have a penny left? What about the propaganda funds?"
Young Master Wang found a notebook and memorized the holy decree word by word.
"Advertising is the business of the distribution company, and you basically don't even know about it?"
Qi Zimo wanted to take back what he had promised in a few minutes.
"When you talk to the distribution company, you must make sure that they ensure the publicity efforts, and it is best to involve all the major first-tier cities in the world, and how to make your young master Wang famous. There are also those peripheral products mentioned above, and when you wait for the movie to be almost made, you can make corresponding products and sell them according to the movie model. At that time, you will have film and television IP in hand, and you will be genuine no matter what similar products you encounter. However, the profit is not much, the main thing is to earn some influence. ”
The more Young Master Wang listened, the happier he became, and his hand kept recording: "What else?"
Qi Zimo was happy when he heard it, isn't this your Young Master Wang's IDEA?
Qi Zi silently hated the iron and shouted in a deep voice: "And go home to discuss with Uncle Wang, this movie is produced by your American Legendary Pictures, and of course the special effects are done by this Korean company, but before this business is done, you have to quickly control the management rights of this company, and don't be busy raising daughters for others for a while." The most important thing is to immediately start negotiations on the purchase of film and television IP agency rights and endorsement operation rights, which is not in hand and all empty talk. ”
"Okay, brother. I'll contact Riot and the film company immediately, but I'm a little too busy for you to help me get the Korean special effects company in the time. "For the first time, Young Master Wang felt the preciousness of time.
"I'm busier than you. Okay, the New Year is just a few days away. I'll go to the special effects company after the New Year, so hurry up with your business. ”
Although he intuitively felt that Young Master Wang was serious this time, Qi Zimo was still worried that he would relapse from his old illness and drop the chain at a critical moment, so he still urged him.
"I know brother, I'll be very serious this time. No matter how you say it, I won't live up to your unconditional trust, thank you, brother! ”
As he spoke, Young Master Wang's tone began to lower, and the last few words were intermittent.
Young Master Wang's first reaction when looking for a partner was Qi Zimo. Not only because he is rich, but because the only rich person who is willing to pay more than 100 million US dollars to accompany him crazy is Qi Zimo. Young Master Wang didn't know what point of himself was worthy of Qi Zimo's trust, but he could indeed guess that Qi Zimo was willing to give him such a chance, and the final result was indeed the case.
"Okay, what is a man pretentious. Can you have a little bit of a job? Your dad won't beat you up when he sees it. Qi Zimo didn't expect that the guy who usually hangs his son would have such an emotional side.
"Is it ~sub~silent~OPPA?"
Suddenly there was a faint voice of inquiry on the other end of the phone, followed by a handover sound, and the phone should have changed hands.
"Zimo OPPA?" the pleasant female voice came clearly at this time.
Qi Zimo was a little surprised, she went to Huaguo so soon?
"Park Ji-yeon?"
"Hee-hee, Zimo OPPA, I'm in China. I just heard General Manager Wang talking on the phone, and there was your voice in it. "This girl has such a good ear that she can recognize her own voice when she listens to Chinese.
"Are you going to China for a concert?"
"Not yet, I have to attend the signing meeting first, and then promote it in various places for ten days, and then hold a concert in the magic capital before returning to South Korea a year ago. ”
Park Ji-yeon told her itinerary like an endorsement.
"Zimo OPPA, your country is so big! It takes four hours to drive just to transfer the site in the Demon City. Are you going back to China for the Spring Festival? Are you going to come to my concert?"
This girl is not only greedy, but also likes to ask questions, one question after another.
"This year's Chinese New Year in South Korea, as for the concert, there will be a chance in the future. ”
"Then we're done. The food in your country is delicious, but it's spicy, but I like it, so you can take me to eat it all then. ”
It is quite possible that the last sentence is the point.
"THAT'S SILENT, OPPA, YOU'RE BUSY, 88. Achieving her goal, Park Ji-yeon hurriedly handed over the phone.
"Brother, what else do you have to explain?" Young Master Wang had already sorted out his emotions.
"You help me find the work number of Director Zheng of Mango Channel, I have something to contact him. ”
Young Master Wang hung up the phone after agreeing, and a phone number was sent to Qi Zimo's mobile phone in the early 2 minutes.
"Hello, Director Zheng, I'm Qi Zimo. ”
"Secretary Qi, Secretary Qi, long time no see. Director Zheng recalled for a while before he remembered who Qi Zimo was.
"Since the last time I said goodbye, I haven't been in contact with you, it's my negligence. I contacted you to ask if the list of stage artists for the next few shows at the end of the year has been decided?"
T-ARA's Huaguo Bank reminded Qi Zimo of APINK's event connection, judging from the announcement activities on the current schedule, they are all medium and low-level specifications, and even if they all participate, they may not be able to get much attention, so Qi Zimo tried to start with the year-end celebration party of Mango Channel, which has high ratings.
"Little Chinese New Year's Eve is the main event, all links have been rehearsed, but the Lantern Festival Gala only confirmed the invitation list. Secretary Qi is thinking
Let APINK join us at the gala?"
People who can live to this age and still be active in a high position are not stupid, Qi Zimo asked so purposefully, Director Zheng easily analyzed the ins and outs.
"Yes, APINK is about to open up the Chinese market, so as a director, I want to give them a good start. ”
"Although APINK's development is good and worthy of the level of the Mango Channel Gala, we have already sent invitations to another group of artists, and it will offend people if they change their fortunes temporarily. Director Zheng refused quite implicitly.
Qi Zimo was keenly aware of some conversations, and he no longer went around in circles.
"Director Zheng, I understand your difficulties. However, the other party has not replied, and you have said that we have taken the lead in giving you a reply, that is, multi-hand preparation is a common thing for businesses, and the other party must not be able to pursue it. ”
"That's the reason, but it's ......"
"Director Zheng, I think you have also heard that I am currently working at MBC, and this year MBC has a new variety show, which is mainly responsible for me. MBC is very optimistic about this show, and it is no surprise that it will become another ace variety show of MBC. If your station is optimistic about the market of this show in China and is willing to introduce it, I will give priority to your station when the price is about the same. I don't know if Director Zheng is willing to help me with that little favor?"
"Really, if Secretary Qi can really be the master, I will discuss with my superiors about APINK's appearance. Director Zheng was really moved.
"I never promise what I can't do, so I'm waiting for Director Zheng's good news. ”
That being said, this matter is basically settled.
Qi Zimo sent an email to APINK's agent, asking him to prepare to negotiate the matter with Huaguo.
