Chapter 42: Can't Wait
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, there is a gap between this condition and my expectations, my bottom line is 25% of the sharing contract, and secondly, I hope I can have 40% of the revenue from the videotape sharing, of course, I also have my demands in terms of copyright, I am sincerely negotiating with Mr. Li, which is also my bottom line. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Fang Yuchen had a good attitude, and he also put forward his conditions with a smile, but he refused cleanly, and his conditions were far from Li Jia's.
This made Li Jia's smile freeze on his face, he gritted his teeth, this Fang Yuchen was really stubborn to the point of being stupid, and he gave Tao Cheng a look.
"Director Fang, how to say it, as a rookie director, the film has not yet been pressed by a well-known movie star, such a contract is already extremely generous, why don't Director Fang give himself a chance, but also give our company a chance to release this film, if it is really a good film, it will definitely achieve good distribution results in theaters, and then Director Fang will be famous, and he will naturally be invincible in the film and television industry in the future, at that time, I am afraid that Director Fang will make a film, I'm afraid that countless companies have come to the door to ask for cooperation, so why bother so much now,"
Tao Cheng was quite sincere in his persuasion.
"Both, I thank you for the importance you attach to the film, but I believe in valuing the value reflected in the contract, so I will not back down from this condition,"
Fang Yuchen really doesn't really care so much about these five points or anything, but this reflects the company's attention to the film, which directly determines the importance of the film company when it is announced.
If the price is very small, it will naturally be almost interesting in terms of publicity and distribution costs, schedule selection, etc., which will greatly affect the box office of the film, which is the reason why he will not waver in holding this line.
"I really can't go back."
Li Jia sneered.
"I really can't go back."
Fang Yuchen refused without hesitation.
"That's really a pity, I don't think our company can accept such a condition."
Li Jia got up and stretched out his hand to say goodbye to Fang Yuchen.
Fang Yuchen stretched out his hand and shook it gently, then turned to leave.
Fang Yuchen walked to the door of the office, and Li Jia's voice came,
"Fang Dao, you remember, our company welcomes Fang Dao to come again at any time, and we will keep this condition unchanged."
Fang Yuchen turned his head, smiled slightly, nodded and left the office.
Tao Cheng sent Fang Yuchen out of the building and returned to the office.
"Hang him for a few days, let him calm down, he will give in, I'm sure no other company will agree to his terms, I suspect he is blackmailing us and forcing us to make concessions, hum,"
Li Jia sneered,
"It's a pity that although we have watched his film, it has not yet reached the point of desperation."
Tao Cheng nodded, it's okay to stalemate for a while, see who can give in in the end, in his opinion, Fang Yuchen will still agree to this condition in the end.
After a few days, they tasted regret, and after a few months, they felt the infinite charm of regret medicine.
In an Italian restaurant, Fang Yuchen, Wu Lan and Sheng Yihua and their assistants met again.
"Yuchen, I discussed it with the boss, I feel that your conditions are really too high, and our consciousness is to give up to twenty percent of the sharing agreement, well, this is our last condition."
The two sides discussed for a long time, but no one wanted to give in, and finally stalemate here, Sheng Yihua decided to cut through the chaos quickly.
"This condition, well, with all due respect, if it is this condition, I will sign a contract with Southeast Pictures, Mr. Li of Southeast Pictures said that he kept this condition for me, and waited for me to sign at any time, since Mr. Li is so refreshing, he will repay him with peach, and the first choice must be Southeast Pictures."
Fang Yuchen smiled.
Of course, this condition exists, but it is nonsense for Shenma to repay the peach, and the negotiations between the two sides are not so harmonious, but why not use it as a means of lowering prices.
"Hey, Yuchen, we're old acquaintances, it's not good to show off in front of me with such a means of lowering prices."
Sheng Yihua seemed to be smiling.
"The film and television industry can be said to be pervasive, I believe that Mr. Sheng's energy will not be unable to inquire about this condition, I can only say that all this is true."
Fang Yuchen smiled calmly, and said in his heart that ninety percent of what he said was true, so he was so true that he was not afraid of his inquiry.
Sheng Yihua looked at Fang Yuchen's very frank smile and was suspicious in his heart.
After the two sides separated, Sheng Yihua drove away from the hotel,
"Xiao Wang, you can ask me about what Southeast Company and Fang Yuchen are talking about these days, the more detailed this is, the better,"
Sheng Yihua was really curious about whether it was true.
"Brother Chen, I feel that it is really difficult for our studio to be a newcomer, and I am very unconfident that I can sign a contract in the end, Brother Chen, you said that there will be no company to sign a contract with us in the end, then our loss will be too great."
Wu Lan felt a little exhausted in the past few weeks, and in the past two months, she really found that this circle is really not the same thing as the colorful circle on the screen, let's just say that most of the people who make movies to realize their dreams will be disappointed or desperate, that is, Brother Chen's response is good, and it is a luxury to want a film that has a good response to land on the big screen, which is the most competitive industry she has experienced.
"Don't worry, as long as it's a good film, there will be a future, besides, no one signs a contract, it's a big deal to start all over again, this setback can't break me."
If you want to say 100% confidence, Fang Yuchen doesn't have it, but he can't deal with his works cheaply no matter what.
"Alas, that's a pity, what a good film this film is, why don't you let it land in theaters."
Wu Lan really can't accept the ending of the film rotten in her hands.
"It's up to man to make things happen,"
Fang Yuchen smiled, the worst result has not yet come, there is still hope.
"There really is."
Sheng Yihua was also shocked when he heard his assistant finish speaking, he thought that Fang Yuchen was just scolding him, but he didn't expect that he was really facing strong competition from Southeast Pictures, and the conditions of the two were basically the same, in this case, according to Fang Yuchen, Fang Yuchen could only sign a contract with Southeast Pictures first, which means that he had no chance to get this film at all.
After getting the news, he carefully combed through the harvest at the film festival and found that none of the five films that the company was most interested in had the level of this film, they all had this and that obvious shortcomings, not that they must not achieve good results, but they cannot be compared with Fang Yuchen's films.
And what he needs most now is to achieve results as soon as possible.
Transferred here this time, Mr. Wang just hopes that he can change the situation that the film and television department has not been too prosperous in the past two years, especially in several film festivals, the performance of several film festivals has lost to competitors, and the results of the films selected by Yushi Pictures at more than five film festivals in the past year have proved to be almost all bad films, which is not Taobao at all, but the championship of the worst in a row.
He was transferred this time in the hope of changing this passive situation.
But this job is very stressful, and to be honest, who dares to say that it will change this trend immediately, but if this film festival still can't change this trend, the pressure will be even greater in the future.
The six film festivals failed, and it can be imagined that Mr. Wang's pressure was not good, and in the end, he had to take the initiative to resign, and Mr. Wang had the grace to know him.
The problem is that this film festival really doesn't have any particularly good films that make him shine, except for this bloody duo.
Sheng Yihua finally delayed for two days and didn't wait for Fang Yuchen's call, he knew that he couldn't afford to drag it out, if he continued like this, he would probably lose the film, and now a little contract difference is not important to him, but the most important thing is to change the performance.
"Director Fang, I'm Sheng Yihua, well, hello, I discussed it with Mr. Wang and decided to preliminarily accept your conditions, well, of course, the specific content still needs to be met and discussed, okay, then see you tomorrow."
