Chapter 734: Collapsed Advertisers
And one more condition?
Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Lem was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't figure out what else he hadn't said clearly.
It seems that everything that needs to be said is finished!
"What conditions?" he looked at him quizzically.
Zhang Yang looked at him and said: "There will be some new supporting roles in the second part, and I want to use people from our country for these supporting roles." If there is a third or fourth part, there may still be some villains, and I also want to use people from our country. ”
A new supporting role?
Lem was stunned again.
He can understand the meaning of Zhang Yang's two sentences, using people from their country, which means that no one will join this series in their September film and television. All the new characters in this series will be used by flamboyant people.
Are you starting to show your ambitions?
Do you want to take your people with you on the international stage?
Lem was not too surprised by Zhang Yang's idea.
If he didn't have such an idea, it would be a real surprise!
"Is their role heavy?" asked Lem cautiously.
Zhang Yang smiled, knowing what he was worried about, and said: "This is a supporting role, they will never cover the light of the protagonist." No matter how many films are made in this series, Donald and Brian will always be the protagonists. ”
Lem was relieved and happily agreed to his condition.
Although Zhang Yang used a tone of consultation with him, he also knew that if he didn't agree to this condition, the second part or something might be yellow.
He could only say yes......
He had already seen through the ambitions of this young man, and he could vaguely guess that he wanted to take this opportunity to start bringing the people around him to Hollywood and to the world stage.
However, as long as they can't steal the light of the protagonist, it doesn't matter much if the new supporting characters use people from their country.
Besides, he handled this movie from preparation to production, not to mention adding a few supporting roles, even if he wanted to change the protagonist, he would probably agree.
After all, he's still a businessman.
As long as there is money to be made, everything is negotiable.
He will not give up such a great opportunity to make money because of one or two actors. You know, "Speed" is hanging in their company's name! His popularity also has huge benefits for their company.
The last condition is negotiated, and the next step is to sign the contract.
may be to make Lem feel at ease, Zhang Yang deliberately added a paragraph to the new contract, specifically stating that the new supporting roles will not exceed the protagonists and will not steal the light of the protagonists.
Seeing that this passage was written into the contract, Lem also smiled a little embarrassedly, and he no longer had any scruples in his heart.
After signing the contract and confirming that Zhang Yang would leave in the next two days, Lem began to arrange manpower and arrange a series of staff and equipment to go abroad to the filming location for decoration.
The filming of this part will span several countries, and the amount of filming is still a bit arduous.
Fortunately, they have already done these preliminary work, and it will not be too difficult to arrange.
"How do you arrange the sponsors?" After arranging everything, Lem asked about the sponsors.
Zhang Yang said: "I'll talk to them tomorrow and tomorrow, and I'll leave after the talks." ”
"Two days after tomorrow?" Lem was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is two days enough?"
"That's enough, just talk about sponsorship, it won't take too much time. ”
Lem glanced at him and reminded, "These advertisers seem to have a problem with you. ”
"Got an opinion?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Because they're too passive. Lem wanted to laugh at the thought of the speechless appearance of the advertisers at that time.
It's so nice to have someone share this feeling of powerlessness.
When he talked about cooperation with Zhang Yang, he was speechless many times!
"......" Zhang Yang couldn't cry or laugh.
Passive?
So it's passive?
You're too glassy, aren't you?
If you think that you have been wronged, you will collapse when you actually negotiate!
Zhang Yang seems to have seen the stunned and speechless appearance of these advertisers.
His films don't make these advertisers ask for it.
He wouldn't allow his films to have blunt advertising images.
"If nothing else, the terms of their sponsorship can be harsh. Lem continued to remind.
"Heh......" Zhang Yang just smiled, didn't explain anything, and said: "Mr. Lem, you can arrange for them to come over tomorrow two days to talk about cooperation." ”
"No problem. Lem nodded and asked, "Let them come together or do they come separately?"
"Look at them. Zhang Yang said, "If they all have time, they can come together." If you don't have time, it's up to them when it's convenient. Anyway, it's only two days after tomorrow, and I'm leaving on Friday. ”
Lem nodded, didn't say anything more, got up and made a phone call to arrange.
After a while, he told Zhang Yang that these advertisers had time and decided to come over tomorrow to negotiate.
"Come together?" Zhang Yang was stunned, and suddenly felt the smell of being dug into a pit.
These advertisers decided to come together, there must be a conspiracy!
He really guessed correctly, these advertisers have really discussed it and decided to give him a dismissal tomorrow and let him know the rules of the game in Hollywood.
More than a dozen advertisers put pressure on him together, and at the same time stated that he would not sponsor if he did not agree to their harsh conditions, he should have collapsed, right?
……
The next day, nine o'clock.
Eleven heads of advertisers appeared in the studio at the same time, led by Lem.
More than a dozen people were smiling, and several colleagues were even chatting with laughter, and everyone's mood seemed to be quite good. I just don't know if they can maintain this good mood all day.
Zhang Yang was waiting for them in the studio early, and when he saw them coming, he also greeted them with a smile, and shook hands with them one by one at the introduction of Lem.
This one is a car advertiser.
This one is also a car advertiser.
This one is still a car advertiser.
This one is a sportswear advertiser.
This is a restaurant chain advertiser......
After more than a dozen advertisers introduced, Zhang Yang was also a little dizzy.
How can you remember this......
"Which one comes first?" After a few polite words with them, Zhang Yang looked at the advertisers with a smile on his face.
Although they came at the same time, it was impossible to talk about cooperation together, and they still had to be discussed in detail one by one.
"I'll do it first. A chubby middle-aged man stepped forward.
This man was the last person Lem introduced to him, and he remembered that he was the head of a car manufacturer.
"Let's sit down for a moment. Zhang Yang greeted the others, led the advertiser into his office, and closed the glass door.
The two of them sat down on the sofa in the office facing each other, without much nonsense, and went straight to the topic.
When the two of them entered, the other advertisers outside unconsciously cast their attention to it, with a faint smile on their faces, and they looked like they were in their chests, as if they had seen Zhang Yang, who would be very hurt later.
Even Lem looked over curiously.
He wasn't stupid, and he could tell from the calm expressions on the faces of these advertisers that they seemed to have some plan.
Only, can their plan succeed?
He was worried about them, because he had been taught flamboyant toughness.
At this moment, everyone wanted to know what the two people inside were talking about. Unfortunately, the soundproofing was so good that even if they pricked up their ears, even if they could see the two people on the other side of the glass talking, they couldn't hear anything at all.
The only thing they could see was Zhang Yang with a smile on his face all the time.
Three-minute ......
Five minutes......
Ten minutes......
The smile on Zhang Yang's face has never changed.
These advertisers are also very patient and wait quietly.
According to their estimates, he would not be able to laugh for another five minutes at most.
However......
Another ten minutes passed, and Zhang Yang still had a smile on his face.
At this point, advertisers are a little dumbfounded.
This...... This is not scientific!
Twenty minutes have passed, and the harsh conditions should have been proposed a long time ago!
But why is he still smiling?
Hearing such harsh conditions, he should be frowning even if he wasn't angry, right? What does it mean to smile all the time?
At this moment, these advertisers wanted to know the expression of the companion opposite Zhang Yang, and wanted to know what he was doing!
But alas, the advertiser was facing away from them, and they couldn't see his expression.
They can't see it, but Zhang Yang can see it.
The advertiser's expression is sluggish right now.
The face is sluggish!
He looked at Zhang Yang with a look of disbelief, as if he was greatly frightened.
Just now, he put forward the conditions of his own sponsorship.
The conditions, while somewhat harsh, are not unacceptable. He can even conclude that if he were replaced by other Hollywood directors, but not those super-famous directors, the other party would definitely agree to these conditions.
However, the young man in front of him gave him a very obvious answer.
His answer was only one word.
NO!
He didn't even think much of it, and just shook his head when he heard his conditions.
Then, he was stupid.
This tough attitude...... It's too far from what he expected!
He hadn't thought of such a plan at all!
Didn't even bargain and rejected their answers?
This...... Is this talking about cooperation?
The chubby middle-aged man almost began to doubt his life.
He has talked to many Hollywood directors before, but he has never encountered anything like this.
After a while, the chubby middle-aged man finally came back to his senses and said in a solemn tone: "Director Zhang, if you can't agree to our conditions, then I'm afraid we won't be able to sponsor your movie." ”
Zhang Yang stretched out his hand with some pity and said: "That's a pity, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate next time." ”
The chubby middle-aged man froze again, looking at Zhang Yang with a somewhat shocked gaze, and his mouth was so shocked that it opened into an "O" shape.
He never dreamed that this sentence, which seemed to him to be extremely lethal, would be taken by the other party so lightly......
How is this possible!!
Hearing such words, how could he be so calm?
If it was another director, I would have panicked when I heard him say this, why are you so calm?
The chubby middle-aged man really began to doubt life.
He even wondered if he was talking about a fake collaboration......
Shocked, he didn't even see Zhang Yang's right hand stretched out in front of him.
Looking at this gaffe advertiser, Zhang Yang is also a little inexplicable.
Isn't it just that I turned down your sponsorship? Do you need to be so depressed?
If you really want to sponsor like this, put the conditions a little better, we can also talk about it, what does it mean to not speak up like this?
"Mr. Tom?
"Huh?" The chubby middle-aged man came back to his senses, and then looked at Zhang Yang with some anger, "Director Zhang, we came to talk to you about cooperation with sincerity, you really disappointed us!!"
"Sincerity?" Zhang Yang was speechless for a moment and reminded: "Mr. Tom, seriously, I really didn't feel your sincerity. Think about the conditions you just proposed, are you really sincere?"
"......," the corners of Mr. Tom's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Sincerity?
The conditions just now seem to be ...... It's really not very sincere.
"We ......"
"Mr. Tom!"
Tom was about to say something more, but was interrupted by a flamboyant rudeness.
"If you still insist on the conditions you just made, then we won't waste each other's time anymore, and I can't agree to those conditions. Zhang Yang said seriously, "If you really want to cooperate, please show your sincerity." ”
Tom stared at him blankly.
Zhang Yang looked at him and continued: "It's okay to sponsor, but when to give the camera and what the length of the shot is, it's up to us to decide, not you." Mr. Tom, I have to remind you that we are making movies, not commercials. ”
Tom continued to be sluggish.
"You think about it first, and if you really want to cooperate, we'll talk about it. Zhang Yang stood up and made a gesture of please to him.
Tom followed suit and walked out of his office in a daze.
Outside, the advertisers were already anxious.
They didn't know what was going on in that office, but they all guessed that things were going a little out of control.
But a faint smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Lem's mouth at some point, admiring these people with an interested gaze as an outsider, as if he was watching a good show.
He felt like he should have guessed what was going on in that office.
He even guessed that Tom had probably collapsed.
When encountering such a tough person who does not play according to the routine, it is a personal collapse.
Seeing Zhang Yang suddenly get up, a group of advertisements also unconsciously stood up.
Then they saw Tom, who had gone in with confidence, come out dejected.
The advertisers were stunned.
What's going on!!
What the hell is going on!!
"Next!" Before more speculation could pop up in their minds, Zhang Yang spoke.
