Chapter 10 Exchanges without substantive progress
Max Renault and Chen Kun sat across the table, but it was also refreshing, Gao Fei ran before and after pouring Tieguanyin for the three of them, and did not ask foreigners whether they were used to drinking, only said that the hospitality was not good, only coarse tea, but it made Max feel that this company was more sincere.

Well, honestly, a word that Max Reynaud has learned in recent years.
More than a year of activities in China has not been without achievements, whether it is the signing of various letters of intent in the official or business circles, or the contact of various singers and artists, it has never stopped.
And it can be seen that Max Renault's final West Asia Pacific sprint for Viking Records is in the second half of this year, and it is likely to be in full swing.
"So, Mr. Chen, let's get straight to the point. ”
This white-skinned foreigner came out with such a sentence of Jianghu and really has enough understanding of the Chinese entertainment industry.
Breath, there is this under the Beijing overpass. Tianjin mouth Allegro singing number of treasures has this. Henan Bangzi has this. Shandong drums still have this. Even Kunqu opera, Sichuan opera, and Cantonese opera also have this.
It's a thing that has been around for 800 years.
It is a doorway handed down from the domestic entertainment industry.
and sang Dingjun Mountain to make an appearance, this flavorful old way opening, which really surprised Chen Kun a little.
However, Chen Kun remained silent, nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Renault, please speak." ”
"Joe. ”
"Yes sir. ”
The assistant opened the briefcase and handed the file to Max.
The Asia-Pacific director solemnly patted the documents and then handed one of them to Chen Kun.
"I know that Mr. Chen's company's Dongying Girls Group is being promoted. ”
Max Renault's smile is very friendly, but his insight makes Chen Kun feel that this guy's smile is really a little unacceptable.
"No matter how Mr. Chen tries to hide it, in fact, your substantive actions are all around this Dongying girl group, although on the surface, it seems that you are promoting some of the company's works. But the focus is still on people, and the work is the icing on the cake. ”
His idioms are used well, and all of Chen Kun's tricks are in one sentence.
What the "Zhenghuang Flag" uncle of Jinsheng Company didn't understand, what the local leaders of Suzhou City didn't notice, and what the Universe Infantry Company didn't know anything about except for the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, this Frenchman, who had flown fourteen hours from London, England to China, actually understood.
Not bad!
All of Chen Kun's actions seem to be active for the company's works, but in fact, all the work revolves around, all the business activities are promoted, and the center has never changed, that is, people.
It's every artist under it.
With a smile and every move, the company's works are in turn to cater to them.
This is a consideration, Chen Kun has his own judgment, only by focusing on the artist, can the work produce sparks and be infectious.
But it doesn't mean that Chen Kun doesn't value the work itself, on the contrary, Chen Kun has strict requirements for the quality of the work, especially when packaging the artist, all kinds of settings and plots must strictly match the character and style of the three-dimensional artist.
Taking the peak of Lingyu as an example, the setting of many of the characters, the existence of those classical beauties, and the attribute labels, are the company's artists in the third dimension.
And the so-called activities before, the so-called company publicity of the comic convention, are they just company publicity? The exposure of the artists has almost reached the limit of the Space Infantry Company.
However, the reputation of the Cosmic Infantry Company is unlikely to surpass the influence of the artist at this stage.
That's the difference.
This is a small trick, Chen Kun's little trick, the only one who knows this is the Eight Miscellaneous Snake Fujiwara Golden Temple, and in fact, this is the common decision between him and the Eight Miscellaneous Snake.
In Osaka Prefecture, Fujiwara Kanesa affirmed Chen Kun's approach, when the company is still very weak and desperately needs the artist's supernatural performance, it is even more necessary to let the artist exert his strength beyond his own 200%. The company's reputation does not need to be too popular among the people, as long as it can gain a firm foothold in the industry, it is enough.
"I don't know what Mr. Renault means. ”
Chen Kun looked at him calmly.
"Well, that's. ”
Max smiled: "There are two intentions. First, I hope to be able to cooperate with the Space Infantry Company to explore the strength of the Dongying Girls Regiment at a deep level. I believe that with the professionalism of Viking, it is enough to build the hottest group in China, and there is no one. ”
"What about one, but what about two?"
Max nodded: "Second, the orcs who performed Hammer's works at the Comic Con before, I want the virgin company to tailor the work for them." ”
"Orcs?"
Chen Kun was slightly stunned.
"Yes, orcs. To be honest, it wasn't supposed to be my business. But in fact, Virgin's headquarters is in need of such a strong rapper, and I didn't expect to be able to find it in China. American language, no problem. Dance moves, no problem. Stamina, no problem. And what stands out is his physique, which is strong and powerful, which is definitely a big selling point. With the right packaging, it's not a problem for the record to sell well. ”
"Do you know the age of that orc?"
"It doesn't matter. Maybe people are middle-aged? So what? Complete orc packaging, enough, that's a big buy. Europe needs professional rappers with such personalities. ”
Max's words made Chen Kun feel very incredible, this is simply a deliberate planting of flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.
People like Brother Jiang...... Going to Europe for development?
Groove ......
"I think I'll have to talk to him about this guy first. In fact, on the issue of coming out to perform, he himself is in a state of confrontation. ”
"Why? What a great show. In the past 20 years, there have been endless rappers, but none of them have made a huge impact and driven the entertainment trend. It may not be much for such a person to stay in China and stay in Asia, but in Europe, it is a great asset. ”
Max spread his hands, and then resolutely kept smiling: "But since Mr. Chen said so, I can only wait for good news." However, I would like to point out that this orc rapper is the most important purpose of my trip. ”
"Isn't Mr. Renault the Director of Asia Pacific?"
"But I will also serve the virgin headquarters. ”
Chen Kun kind of understands this product.
"Well, maybe I should get some underneath. ”
Max nodded, as if sorting out the sentences, before he said, "If the Cosmic Infantry Company is willing to entrust the release of the Toei Girls' record to the Virgin Company, I can guarantee that there will be a huge discount." And I can also guarantee that the channel is not a problem, virgin will have an important signing ceremony before the end of the year, and has signed contracts with several major cultural channel providers. ”
"Can you tell me whose signing ceremony it is?"
"Oh, it won't work. But I can tell you, it's a female singer. ”
Max said.
Chen Kun speculated in his heart, according to the judgment of this product, I am afraid that she will have to take a customized route, and she may have something to plan.
But these have nothing to do with the Cosmic Infantry Company, and if Virgin signs a contract, she will not sign an independent contract, because the song is borrowed from the anime company and can be tax-free......
Coupled with various subsidies, Brother Kun can fight for at least another five years in China with the skin of an animation company.
But why do you still want to take the route of film and television companies? In fact, this is also a helpless move to prevent being controlled by others.
According to the progress of the Space Infantry Company, and according to Lingyu's existing popularity value, the basis for making animation is there, but it is far from enough to say that it is not enough to make a theatrical version, which needs to be reversed. How to work backwards, how to go overseas first and then go domestic, this requires a certain foundation at home and abroad.
Coincidentally, Chen Kun really has such a foundation.
To put it bluntly, it's still ********. The domestic audience didn't believe that any good works could be made in China at all, and the trust was smashed to the lowest back then, and now it is really difficult to re-establish it.
If you don't break it, you can't stand it, Chen Kun is also trying his best to go off the rails.
Based on the progress of eight months, the theatrical version may be barely so-so, which is at the average level of a Tokyo premiere.
But in terms of domestic, it is relatively high.
It's just that this is not what Chen Kun wants, his idea is more long-term, to reduce the dependence on software as much as possible, and at the same time to avoid being stuck by upstream and downstream suppliers, the heart of defense is indispensable, and he can't be blamed, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
Max came over to negotiate today, there was no core content, no substantive commitment, and he could only be a fart.
Doing business is not a child's play, it does not mean that you promise something and just say yes. If you put something like a mouth cannon in front of an engineering student, it's just scum.
If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, that's basic. When I saw the rabbit scattering the eagle, this is the level.
"About the first content. ”
Chen Kun had countless thoughts in his mind, flashing a few pictures, he was constantly making up for the activities that various Viking companies had had, and he could only take a wait-and-see attitude towards this company that was hesitant to enter and exit the Chinese entertainment market.
Of course, he believes that this time Viking is indeed returning to the Asia-Pacific region, as many corporate national organizations have claimed.
Without him, the national strength dictates.
"Mr. Chen, please speak. ”
"Estimated sales of the first album record. Route orientation and style orientation. The number of landings of variety shows on domestic provincial TV stations. The number of appearances during the year for large-scale event performances. Number of overseas events and exchanges. Number of large meet-and-greets. What is the minimum guarantee?"
Chen Kun asked abruptly, and actually put Max there on the spot, but for a moment, Max felt a little trance.
This feeling is very bad. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
