114 negotiations

readx;?“ Haven't you already seen what I can take out?"

Meng Qi smelled the smell of Larry Brown's questioning that seemed to want to swallow all the bones of the belt, but he remained silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chuck Daley said, "Mr. Miller, do you mean this script about dinosaurs and those adventure stories, with all due respect, with all due respect, we would be taking a huge risk to take over these scripts and stories in your current situation......"

Larry Brown followed suit: "Yes, undeniably, Mr. Miller, you gave us a delicious dish that looks delicious, but this dish is like a pufferfish, and if you don't handle it properly, you can kill you......"

Chuck Daly continued: "More importantly, we can't believe you're not here for any other purpose...... That said, in our negotiations, you weren't being honest, Mr. Miller, and this is not a good start......"

"So......" Larry Brown adds, "can you give us something that we willingly take these unknown risks...... Or what are you going to trade these seemingly delicious things from us......"

Larry Brown and Chuck Daley sang and said these words, obviously after discussion, and their purpose was just to force Meng Qi to show his hole cards and take more benefits from him to the greatest extent.

If it were someone else, he might have been unbalanced in the face of the attacks of these two high-ranking figures, but Meng Qi still kept his composure, and his brain was running at a high speed.

"Mr. President, we don't have to go around the corner, let's just say your psychological price......" Meng Qi was very tight-lipped, but he didn't show his hole cards.

"Sure enough, as rumored, Mr. Miller is really a master negotiator......" Larry Brown laughed again, and then instantly retracted his smile, "1.5 million a script, buyout price ......"

"It's too low, Mr. Brown. ”

Meng Qi said with no expression on his face.

For movie scripts, 1.5 million is really too much for a cabbage price, and now even slightly well-made TV episodes spend an average of more than $500,000 per episode on screenwriting.

What's more, this is still a buyout price, which means that if Meng Qi agrees to this proposal, no matter how popular the film is in the future and how high the box office is, he will not get any dividends, and he will no longer own any derivative rights.

However, the script about dinosaurs that Meng Qi came up with is precisely the famous "Jurassic Park" on the earth.

In the 1990s on Earth, this was one of the most successful commercial films, with a cost of $63 million, slashing $900 million at the global box office, and its first week box office was as high as $81.7 million, and director Spielberg made a profit of $250 million, and this is only the box office of the movie, not counting the original novel, as well as comics, games, toys and other peripheral products brought by the revenue.

I want to take this script with 1.5 million, but it's really a robbery......

"Mr. Miller, I don't think you have much capital to get involved with us right now, do you?" said Larry Brown, "I just heard Mr. McHale mention that it has a lot to do with whether or not we can solve the superhero comic boycott, right?"

Kevin McHale glanced at Meng Qi apologetically, but the latter didn't seem to notice.

Chuck Daley also wasted no time in making amends: "Mr. Miller, I don't think you have any other choice. ”

"Really?" Meng Qi smiled, "I might be able to contact other film companies......

"Do you think other studios can compare to the Wara Bros. and the NBO?" said Larry Brown, "and if you lose our two powerful allies, your superheroes will die faster......

"Then let them die......" Meng Qi still smiled.

There was a strange silence in the conference room.

How could Frank Miller, the father of superheroes, say such irresponsible things?

Didn't he come here specifically to ask for help?

Didn't he come up with these scripts to solve those headaches?

What the hell is going on?

Kevin McHale's eyes widened as he looked at Meng Qi, who had been in a hurry, while Larry Brown and Chuck Daly felt a lot of headaches, and Meng Qi's broken and broken attitude disrupted their original strategy and gave them a lot of headaches.

Then, they witnessed one of the most iconic scenes in the history of business negotiations.

Meng Qi slowly glanced at the people in the conference room, and said in a deep voice: "I think you have misunderstood something, gentlemen...... I brought Jurassic Park not to ask for help, but to strengthen our alliance......"

"Because in essence, the Wara Brothers, who own all the superhero animation rights of the Justice League, and the NBO, who owns "Smallville", are simply grasshoppers tied to a rope with me......"

Chuck Daley snorted coldly and said, "We can hold those copyrights in our hands and wait for this turmoil to pass, and what about you, Mr. Miller?"

"Me?" Meng Qi seemed to have a mocking expression on his face, "I said it, I can give up those superheroes now...... If I can create Avatar, I must be able to create comics other than superheroes, and since I can write stories like Jurassic Park, even if I give up Frank Miller as a cartoonist, right?"

"Just, haven't you realized that if even Frank Miller can't create superhero comics, what's the use of all those copyrights you're holding?"

"And I, just need to change my name to continue working on comics...... Like, what do you think I'm going to do if I'm adapting Jurassic Park into a comic, or do you want me to sell the script to other studios under a different capacity?"

Chuck Daley was speechless.

"I came with the greatest kindness, I thought Jurassic Park and those adventures would only strengthen your faith in me, but I think I was wrong...... Of course, your calculations are also very good, and I think you also see the value of "Jurassic Park", which is a treasure that can be developed into a series of movies, so even if those animation copyrights are rotten in your hands, as long as you can get the copyright of this movie, it doesn't matter, right?"

"You're just trying to get the name Frank Miller out of the way and take all the risks out of it, aren't you......?

Although Meng Qi's tone became more and more sarcastic, in the final analysis, this was just his negotiation strategy, making full use of the situation on the scene and everyone's emotions to guide the direction of the negotiation.

In fact, Meng Qi, like everyone here, understands very well that in this kind of money-making field where there is no blood, nothing should be talked about.

"In that case, gentlemen...... Mench" Meng Qi continued, "we might as well make a bet...... Mr. Brown, from what you know about me, you must know that I'm a good bettor......"

Larry Brown doesn't speak.

"I'm going to hand over Jurassic Park to you to shoot, and if the global box office of this film is less than $1 billion, I won't charge a penny, including dividends, and even all the copyrights of Jurassic Park will be handed over to you......!

"Also, to alleviate your concerns, if this superhero comic incident is not perfectly resolved, I can guarantee that the audience will not see the name Frank Miller......"

"How's it going? Mr. Brown, Mr. Daley?"

"You just said how much the full box office was?" Larry Brown is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and although he was carried away by Meng Qi's rhythm for a while, he quickly recovered as before.

"A billion ......," Meng Qi smiled.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" asked Chuck Daly.

"Of course not. ”

In this world, the world's highest-grossing movie is only close to $750 million, and it is a record set five years ago, and now someone is ashamed to say that it will break a billion dollars at the box office?

Is Frank Miller so confident in this dinosaur story?

In fact, before meeting Meng Qi, they did make an estimate of "Jurassic Park", and preliminarily judged that as long as the film does not make any big mistakes in production, it will probably be able to achieve a box office of 350 million to 400 million US dollars, which is basically the mainstream box office of commercial blockbusters at this stage.

And as Meng Qi said, if they can really get a box office of 400 million, under the premise of buying out the script, the two can get almost 100 million in revenue.

And these benefits can completely offset the losses caused by those superhero-related projects that have been suspended.

Coupled with the income brought by other copyrights, it is basically a profitable transaction.

It's just that they didn't expect Meng Qi to be so strong and ...... is so mixed, I'd rather burn the jade than hand over the script at a buyout price.

However, Meng Qi's offer of a bet still gave them a little hope.

The billion-dollar box office is going to exceed the record of $250 million, can you really do it with these dinosaurs?

Chuck Daley doesn't believe it, and neither does Larry Brown.

However, how to really reach a box office of $1 billion, even if you don't get any copyrights, the dividends alone are enough to make people excited.

The two old foxes exchanged glances and whispered a few words together, and then Chuck Daly made a decision: "We tentatively agree to your proposal, but, I think, the details of the agreement need to be further improved......"

Meng Qi nodded and exhaled softly.
