Su Ming frowned slightly, stared at Cai Liming for several seconds, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he said, "Mr. Cai, can you tell me in detail about your words?" ”

Su Ming said that he wanted to change the publisher, and there was a joke in it, but it was not exactly a joke.

He just put a certain amount of pressure on Cai Liming and Huashi, it is indeed difficult to open the North American market, but it does not mean that there is no way to start at all, business cooperation, interests first, if you can't do it, then I will change the line.

As an employee of ECNU, Cai Liming did not defend ECNU, nor did he express to Su Ming that ECNU was willing to strengthen cooperation and invest efforts to develop the market, but also agreed that Su Ming would change to a more powerful publisher, which Su Ming did not expect.

Isn't that pushing business out the door?

Cai Liming saw Su Ming's doubts and said: "Personally, of course, I hope that you will continue to choose ECNU, as the specific person in charge, I am also a direct beneficiary of the cooperation between the two sides, even if this animal city is not a box office success in your opinion, it has also added a strong stroke to my resume in ECNU." However, from an objective business point of view, continuing to cooperate with ECNU is not the best choice for you and for ECNU. ”

"I want to hear about it." Su Ming said.

"Zootopia proves several points, first, Taoyuan Film and Television, or simply yourself, not only focus on China, but also have the vision and mind to face the world, and second, under your leadership, Taoyuan Film and Television has initially had the ability to develop towards the world film industry. China Normal has rich distribution experience in North America, but as you said, no matter how strong the background is, it is not enough to control the North American theater chain, and even the 'powerful influence' cannot be done, so the continued cooperation between the two sides will limit the development of Taoyuan Pictures. ”

"Thank you very much for considering the problem from the standpoint of Taoyuan Film and Television, but you are an employee of China Normal Pictures, if I don't cooperate with China Normal University, isn't it a loss to China Normal University?" Su Ming asked.

"In the short term, of course. But in the long run, it's better to break up during the honeymoon period and leave a beautiful impression on both parties than to quarrel endlessly and then be forced to break up. It's like wearing clothes, even if a person is 30 years old, and let him wear 13-year-old clothes, the result can only be that the person is very uncomfortable, and the clothes will also be torn. In fact, you've shown dissatisfaction with Zootopia's box office in North America. ”

"Yes." Su Ming pondered for a moment and said, "In my estimate, the box office should be at least more than 20 million US dollars." ”

Cai Liming nodded: "Then if your next movie still maintains the level of Animal City - in fact, according to my experience, if the first step of the new company is a small success, most of the second part will have the potential to be a big hit, because it is more experienced." In this case, your expectations at the North American box office will definitely be higher, and the ability of the Chinese division is indeed limited, and there will be fierce conflicts and dissatisfaction between the two sides. ”

Cai Liming's words were very prescient, China Normal University is a good teacher to enter the industry, but it is not a good partner for long-term cooperation and mutual promotion with Taoyuan Film and Television.

A master of this level of Jiangnan Seven Monsters can help Guo Jing lay a solid basic skills, but it is impossible for him to become a first-class master, the Quanzhen Seven Sons can train Guo Jing to become a first-class master, but there is no way to make him a top five in the world, the strength of one party has improved, it is necessary to choose a better partner, and the purpose of cooperation is a win-win situation, not a delay.

Su Ming didn't say it directly, but asked with a smile: "Mr. Cai, if you say this, aren't you afraid that your host Huashi will be dissatisfied?" ”

"Mr. Su, you are an insider, you should be able to see that ECNU Pictures has an official background, and the purpose is not only to make money, but also to promote Chinese culture. If we can make Taoyuan Film have a better platform, we are not opposed to Taoyuan Film and Television changing partners. In addition......"

He smiled: "I personally have some small principles, I hope that my achievements are based on customer satisfaction, and then bring me economic benefits to realize the value of life, to put it bluntly, I don't like to do things that harm others and benefit myself, that's too low-end." ”

He pointed to his temple: "I believe that there are countless opportunities in the world to achieve self-interest, as long as you are willing to use your brain." It's also a joie de vivre. ”

Su Ming was silent, squinted his eyes, and stared at Cai Liming up and down for a long time, Cai Liming was looked a little unnatural.

"Mr. Cai, I want to cooperate with ECNU, and my biggest benefit is not the millions of dollars in accounting, but the discovery of talents. I don't know if you are interested in coming to Taoyuan Film and Television to work, I really need someone who grasps the overall situation. ”

Cai Liming was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "I am very expensive, and among the vice presidents of China Normal University, my income ranks first." ”

Su Ming smiled slightly, and responded with a Cai Liming-style sentence: "This shows that Huashi has a lot of vision, but the vision is not good enough, so I will take advantage of it and use a general manager position with all the salaries of the vice president to win you over." ”

Cai Liming smiled: "Mr. Su, I will give you an answer within twenty-four hours." Whether or not you can do business in the future, I appreciate your appreciation. ”

……

Twelve hours later, Cai Liming called, willing to accept the position of general manager of the film company, and when the handover of the work at hand was completed, he would take office a week later.

For this airborne general manager, neither the beast nor Nangong Huang showed the slightest dissatisfaction.

Su Ming knows very well that the beast has its own ambitions and ideals, and it is impossible to follow him for a long time, he lacks effective manpower now, and the beast lacks experience and capital, and the two sides are complementary in a short period of time, and in the future, the beast will break away and fly alone.

Nangong Huang is Su Ming's cronies, and he is also Su Ming's eyeliner in the company. With his relationship with Su Ming, even if he is a janitor, no one will underestimate him. What's more, Nangong Huang is still young and lacks experience in all aspects, so he needs to work step by step from the grassroots level to hone more.

Coupled with Cai Liming, an industry expert, the core team of the film and television company has been completely built, and taking this opportunity, Su Ming officially separated the film company from the entertainment company and established Taoyuan Film and Television.

After Cai Liming took office, he was resolute, and a week later, Taoyuan Film and Television had completed personnel recruitment, division of departments, and was officially established in an office building in the city.

However, the results were unsatisfactory, a total of seven scripts, written by Beiying students and contributed by screenwriters in the circle, all of which were killed by Cai Liming.

Su Ming took a few scripts that were killed and looked at them, and they really didn't meet the company's requirements, either they were not suitable for all animals, or they were too much to follow the domestic market.

Without a script, there is no way to continue filming, and Cai Liming's focus has shifted to finding a script.

And it's not just Taoyuan Film and Television that is busy with the movie. (To be continued.) )
