Chapter 162: Win-Win Cooperation (Subscription !!)
…
The rich middle-aged is Li Guoqing, the chairman of Meiya Li Guoqing.
Now, Meiya has faintly overtaken Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess, and has become the first of the four major publishers in Xiangjiang.
To a large extent, this is related to Li Guoqing's personal efforts in everything.
Of course, the most important thing is the general trend - from now, more accurately from the beginning of this year, the form of film screening has undergone revolutionary changes, the traditional broadcast process and payback cycle of films have undergone dramatic changes, the profits of films from cinemas and cinemas have continued to decline, and the revenues from video tapes and TV rights have continued to rise, overthrowing the role of cinemas and cinemas. The advantages of cinema dealers as film investors have also been shaken, and the film market is no longer dominated by cinema and cinema screenings.
Since the early 90s, Meiya has actually cooperated with Xinyicheng, Debao, and Yindu in films such as "Happy Chicken", "Under the Red Flag", and "Huang Feihong's Boy Serving the Country".
However, the sad thing is that none of the movies invested by Meiya are blockbusters.
It's not hard to see why.
Relying on the distribution of videotapes, although Meiya has a very good overseas distribution ability, it does not have the heritage of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess, while the film companies of Xinyicheng, Debao, and Yindu make their own movies if they have good movies and movies that are sure to make money without losing money, and only those movies that are not sure to make money or even specify to lose money will find Meiya to share the risk.
Li Guoqing, who has seen through this situation, of course, can't sit still, but filmmaking is a technical job, and it is not something that he, a person who has never entered the film production industry, can play.
In the first half of this year, Meiya invested in Xu Baohua to shoot "The Ultimate Crisis", but because there was no theater willing to release it, it had to be released in the form of a videotape.
If Li Qing did not appear, this situation of Meiya would have to continue until 1999, and investing in "Fairy Tale of the Stars and Moon" directed by Li Rengang could attract widespread attention.
……
Yonggao headquarters.
Luo Jiecheng's office.
Liao Yiyuan let out a big sigh, "Why don't we talk about it tomorrow, I can't compare to you young people......"
Li Guoqing smiled and said: "Old Liao, last time Chinatown ......"
Liao Yiyuan waved his hand, "Okay, okay, say something quickly!"
Li Guoqing looked at Li Qing, "Qingzai, I'll talk to you on the phone." ”
Li Qing glanced at Liao Yiyuan, and then said, "Brother Xing, I'm still the same, Uncle Liao and Yindu are kind to me, I can't leave Yindu to cooperate with you......"
Liao Yiyuan glanced at Li Qing and Li Guoqing, who were singing and harmonizing, with eyes that seemed to have seen through everything!
Li Qing and Li Guoqing scolded in their hearts: "Old fox!"
Although Liao Yiyuan may have found out something, Li Qing and Li Guoqing still continued to act.
Li Guoqing said: "I, Li Guoqing, am not a person who forgets his righteousness, Liao Lao and I have been friends for more than ten years...... I just want to propose a new cooperation plan, a win-win cooperation plan for everyone. ”
Liao Yiyuan did not pick up this topic, but let Li Qing and Li Guoqing perform.
Luo Jiecheng's eyes moved slightly, obviously thinking about something!
Liao Yiyuan and Luo Jiecheng don't talk, so Li Qing can only talk, "Oh, what kind of win-win cooperation plan?"
Li Guoqing looked at Li Qing and asked, "Qing Zai, do you want your "Speeding Scandal" to get a share overseas, instead of buying out the cabbage price?"
As soon as Li Guoqing's words came out, Liao Yiyuan's face suddenly sank!
The buyout is not necessarily bad, the sharing is not necessarily good, the two actually have their own advantages and disadvantages - the buyout is guaranteed, but it can't make a lot of money, the sharing may make a lot of money, or it may not make a single hair, in general, it depends on the quality of the movie itself and the strength of the distributor.
However, one thing is certain, except for the two regions of the mainland and the limited Nanyang, the silver capital does not have the ability to share and issue at all, while the United States and Asia have the ability to share and issue in Taiwan, Japan, H country, and Nanyang countries.
In other words, if Li Qing wants to share the distribution overseas, then Yindu will have to be kicked out.
Let's ask, how could Liao Yiyuan's face be so good?
Glancing at Liao Yiyuan's changed face, Li Qing said: "Of course I hope that "Speeding Scandal" will be shared overseas, but it is still the same thing, Uncle Liao and Yindu are kind to me, and I can't throw Uncle Liao and Yindu." ”
Li Qing's words made Liao Yiyuan's face a little better, but Liao Yiyuan knew that as long as Li Qing was willing to cooperate with Li Guoqing, Duyin would be completely redundant, and even Luo Jiecheng, who had a cinema in Xiangjiang, had more value for cooperation than him Liao Yiyuan!
Li Guoqing said with a smile: "I have said, I, Li Guoqing, am not a person who forgets his righteousness, this is a win-win cooperation." ”
Li Qing cooperated with Li Guoqing and asked, "How to win?"
Li Guoqing said: "The silver can be divided into the issuing area, and it will be issued to the silver capital, and the silver cannot be divided into the issuing area, and we will issue it in the United States and Asia......
Liao Yiyuan finally couldn't help it: "Give the silver capital a little leftovers, what kind of win-win is it?"
Li Guoqing smiled and said: "Old Liao, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet!"
Li Guoqing looked at Li Qing and said, "Qing Zai, what's the point of always playing these small productions, can you make a big production, let us Meiya and Liao Lao and their silver capital...... And Boss Luo is also involved?"
"No wonder Li Guoqing agreed to give Aqing an overseas share of the distribution, it turned out that Aqing was ready to give up some of the producer's interests...... If Yindu also shares a part of the benefits of the producer, this is really a win-win cooperation. Liao Yiyuan said in his heart.
Luo Jiecheng's eyes also lit up, "There is such a good thing...... It looks like my retirement from the film industry is going to be delayed a lot!"
Li Qing said deliberately: "Brother Xing, you're wrong, how can you put your hand on my plate?"
Li Guoqing said with a smile: "I heard that Qingzai, you have a big movie in your hand, a big movie that you can't eat by yourself, I, Liao Lao, and Boss Luo want to help you." ”
Li Qing said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have to clean up the people around me." "-Li Qing's performance is in place!
Li Guoqing said: "This is your own business, or let's talk about your big movie, what kind of movie is this, and what is the budget?"
Li Qing pressed his temple, and then said: "It is a racing-themed action crime movie, with a preliminary budget of 250 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
As soon as Li Qing's words came out, Liao Yiyuan and Luo Jiecheng, including Li Guoqing, all had their pupils shrinking!
After seeing Liao Yiyuan, Luo Jiecheng, and Li Guoqing's stunned expressions one by one, Li Qing smiled and said: "I have already got in touch with Ron Meyer, the operating officer of Universal Pictures, and he is very interested in my movie, and I will personally go to Los Angeles to meet him after a while." ”
Li Qing's words made Liao Yiyuan, Luo Jiecheng, and Li Guoqing's eyes light up, "If Universal Pictures agrees to release this movie, it's a bit of a head!"
