Although he lost the first step in negotiations, this will not affect Mike Malone at all, he is the director of NBC in charge of contracts, and if he can't even cope with such a scene, he will be fired home to take care of the children.

Unmoved by Mo Fei's undefeated performance, he said: "So what, even so, why did I choose to cooperate with Phoenix Culture, you should know that there are too many film companies in Hollywood." And not long ago, MGM also made a request to get a film contract with Pierce, they asked Pierce to play James Bond, if you had to choose, you would also choose James Bond, not other roles. ”

This guy is really a dead duck with a hard mouth, so he threw him tens of thousands of grass and mud horses again, and said: "James Bond is indeed very powerful, but "007" has not failed without failure, didn't "The Queen's Secret Envoy" end in half; Judging from the current mess at MGM, this time it is not impossible to fail. And even if it is guaranteed to be successful, the next episode of "007" will not be released in '86; If it's '87, maybe NBC will have a chance to shine; But if it was in '88, Pierce's contract would have ended by then. But Phoenix Culture is different, my new film will definitely be released next summer, and by the time the new season of "Steele" starts in September next year, Pierce's fame has been greatly improved. ”

"And how can you guarantee that you will succeed?" At this time, Mike Malone had already begun to develop into the path of Chef Fan, and he had long forgotten that he was going to bargain with Mo Fei. Instead, he began to care about how Mo Fei did what he said.

The effect is so good, of course you have to strike while the iron is hot, and it looks very natural. said: "It's still the same sentence, because I am the one who does all this, I have never failed, as long as I want him to be a popular star, then he will definitely be popular." ”

That's a really awesome thing to say, and Mike Malone wants to stop believing this Asian, but it's just that he can't help believing it after so long.

"Okay then. Mr. Mo, what are you doing all this for? McMalone finally began to take the initiative to get down to business, looking into Mo Fei's eyes. said: "Like you said, if you want an actor to be popular, he will definitely be popular, so why don't you choose someone else, it must be Pierce." I need to hear the truth. ”

That's what you want. Could it be that this time he finally didn't let go of the horse anymore, but made a very sincere expression, and said: "Actually, the reason is very simple, Mr. Ma Long, you should also have people who are willing to get along and those who are not willing to get along, there are people who look pleasing to the eye and people who look unpleasant, and I just look at Pierce as a pleasing person, so I will choose him." Other than that. In fact, I am also a loyal viewer of the show "Steele", and I have bought the previous three videotapes. To be exact, I liked this show because of Pierce, so you should be able to understand me. ”

What he said was very sincere, and Mike Malone really believed it now. If he had been to China in the 21st century, he would have given Mo Fei a definition of "brain-dead powder" by now. At the same time, he also thinks that the person opposite is simply a madman, just because he likes an actor, he has to do so many things, which is completely unbelievable and unreasonable.

But now is not the time for him to despise Mo Fei from the heart, the most important thing is the most important thing, and he continued to ask: "So, what are you doing all this for, it is not because you like to watch Pierce's performance, and then you want to make him popular." What would you do, I mean, in the case of Pierce, you shouldn't just ask him to make a movie, there must be other ideas, right? ”

"That's true, Mr. Malone, it's a pleasure to deal with a smart person like you, and you don't have to say too much to understand what the other party means." Mo Fei praised Mike Malone very vividly, saying: "My final thought is that I hope NBC can transfer Pierce's contract to me, and I will personally make him a first-class star in Hollywood, so that my heart can be more ......happy."

"It's impossible, Mr. Mo, it's impossible, Pierce still has to play the role of Steele, and the show "Steele" also needs his performance." Before Mo Fei's words were finished, Mike Malone was anxious, glared and said: "Just like you just said, Pierce is a very attractive actor, and many viewers watched "Steele" because of him, you just said that he will improve his fame through movies, and then "Steele" can also benefit, and now you want NBC to transfer his contract, don't you think this inconsistency is a bit too shameless?" ”

This ghost guy was really anxious, Mo Fei couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, he stretched out his hand and waved his hand in front of Mike Malone, asking him to calm down first, and said: "Mr. Malone, please listen carefully to what I have to say, and then express your opinion, okay, it is easy to cause misunderstanding between us." I did say earlier that Pierce's appearance in the movie can drive the ratings of "Steele", and that sentence is still valid. ”

"Then why do you bring up the transfer contract again, which is obviously contradictory?" Mike Malone estimated that his brain was a little congested and hypoxic, just like Chef Fan's reaction after yelling and stomping his feet again, he was already a little unclear.

Mo Fei nodded secretly in his heart, and continued to flicker: "Actually, this matter is not contradictory, I need to get Pierce's contract and make him popular, and NBC needs a popular Pierce to drive the ratings of "Steele", so we should cooperate more." ”

Mike Malone's Fan Chef phenomenon is getting more and more serious, and it is indeed a little unable to keep up with Mo Fei's rhythm, asking: "Cooperation, how to cooperate?" ”

Now in front of Mo Fei's eyes, he is a guy with a big head and a thick neck, and his eyes are full of small stars. The more times like this, the more cautious it must be, and you must not let him come to his senses, otherwise who will you ask about NBC's news.

Mo Fei smiled with kindness on his face and said, "Mr. Ma Long." You should also understand that it is simply unrealistic to want Pierce to stay at NBC forever, and movies are the best thing for him to do. NBC needed to maximize Steele's ratings during Pierce's deal. And I wanted to make Pierce a big star myself, so the opportunity for us to work together came. As you should know, I'm an independent producer who also produces dramas for TV stations in Hong Kong, and the ratings for the same period are much higher than those of other TV stations.

So if I can get Pierce's contract, then my company is willing to help NBC produce a TV series in exchange. Of course, you can watch each episode before you think about whether or not to broadcast it. You can also get the ratings data after the episode airs and settle with my company, and if the show I offer doesn't rank in the top five ratings for the same period, the show will be given to NBC for free. ”

This is also what Mo Fei thought of after meeting Brosnan that day. Doesn't NBC just want ratings, so give them ratings. Anyway, so many classic episodes are also playing for others to make money, why not choose to use it yourself, in exchange for Brosnan's contract at the same time. It can also bring the dramas of Phoenix Culture to the American market. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Don't underestimate the energy of TV dramas, the big screen of movies is indeed powerful, and the ability to absorb gold is also stronger, but people are more exposed to TV screens in their daily lives. If you want to increase your company's exposure and integrate into the general public faster, TV screens are the best way, or why TV ads are getting more and more fierce.

Phoenix Culture has already taken the step of entering the United States, and it is not yet time to occupy the American people's television screen. After all, Phoenix Culture is still just a newly established company. But Brosnan's incident gave Mo Fei a chance. If you can cooperate with NBC in this way and bring the TV series of Phoenix Culture to American television, it will be of great benefit to your overall layout, and it will be much easier to do many things in the future.

What does a conventional TV station rely on, generally speaking, it is news, variety shows, and dramas, and the sports station mainly relies on the broadcast of events, and other professional stations also have corresponding programs, so that more advertisers can spend money to support the TV station.

A large national television network like NBC needs a small number of episodes, which are often supplemented by outsourced dramas. However, the quality of purchased dramas is uneven, and if someone is willing to broadcast first and pay later, it will be a great thing for the TV station, at least there is no need to spend money in vain.

Mo Fei's suggestion is like opening a window, Mike Malone quickly thought of this, he knows the movies of Phoenix Culture, which is quite powerful, if their TV series can be as good as the movie, then he, who uses the Brosnan contract that has no profit to dig up, and gets the hero of Phoenix Culture's such lenient film supply conditions, won't he have the opportunity to be promoted soon. Oh my God, it must be God who heard my prayers and had mercy on me, the poor lamb.

But it's not the best yet, and you have to get more benefits from this Asian person, Mike Malone lifted his spirits and said, "If that's the case, it's not impossible, but it's not that easy." Phoenix Culture is still a new company, and there is no guaranteed record of the quality of the TV series that can be referenced, so it is impossible to be too high in terms of price, which Mr. Mo should have considered. ”

Could it be a little angry in his heart, this dead foreign devil still has to climb the pole inch by inch, if you don't let the horse go, you will be uncomfortable, right, in an instant, hundreds of thousands of grass and mud horses galloped towards this ghost, and said: "Mr. Ma Long, it's not the first time I've been engaged in TV drama production, I'm still very clear about the situation here, the previous conditions are already the biggest concessions I can make, if you still want to have any ideas on the price, then it will be difficult for us to communicate again." You may not know that when I supply films to TV stations in Hong Kong, the final settlement is based on ratings, and the higher the ratings, the higher the price, and when I exceed a certain percentage, I will earn more than the TV station. In fact, Pierce only has two years left on his contract, and I only need to endure it for another two years to sign with him without a little effort, and now it's just two years earlier, during which I can completely support other actors first, which is not in conflict. ”

Well, it seems that the price has been pushed a little too much, and Mike Malone is also a master who can put and collect, so he immediately corrected his attitude and said: "Okay, Mr. Mo, the matter of supplying the film will be done according to what you said, and I will recommend Phoenix Culture to the company headquarters." You can get Pierce's film contract now, but the contract can't be transferred until you supply the film, which can be written into our agreement, which is good for both parties. And one more thing, Pierce's salary problem may be higher, I think it's about 1.5 million dollars, you know, his role as Steele is very popular. ”

As long as the series can be sold to NBC, even if Pierce's contract expires automatically in '87, it won't be a problem, and of course he won't mind this normal wary condition. As for Pierce's salary of 1.5 million, it's not a problem, didn't Bruce Willis sign more than 1 million at the beginning, but later because that guy performed well, he signed a contract for a series of 10 parts, and it was only increased to 200, which is completely acceptable.

After Mo Fei released an unknown amount of grass and mud horses, the negotiations can be said to be very happy, Mike Malone signed a film contract for Brosnan on behalf of NBC and Phoenix Culture, and also added terms to the contract transfer and film supply, and happily put away a check for 1.5 million.

After getting the film contract, they were about to say goodbye and leave, but they were stopped by Mike Malone. The ghost guy looked a little embarrassed, disappeared in an instant, and said: "Mr. Mo, that's the case, about the matter of the film, if you talk about it, I think, can you mention it to the company's senior management, this matter was actually brought up by me, you know ......"

Dare to love foreign devils to play this set more ruthlessly, can't be more shameless, could it be that he put all the grass mud horses that could be taken out to Mike Malone at one time, and after pretending to be slightly stunned, he smiled and said: "Oh, this is no problem, we are already friends, if Mr. Malone is promoted, it will also help me, right?" ”

Since you play this set, I can't give you a compliment in vain, so let's take advantage of each other. If you don't suffer in such a thing, you will definitely not suffer a loss, and you directly used a "friend" to draw a circle for Mike Malone, and if you didn't put him in first, maybe you can exert some power in the future.
