Ye Jingcheng's office came to several international friends, and the other party's arrival was mainly to discuss the release of a movie. And the representative in charge of this meeting is called Erwin? Kashner is the director of this film in his hands.

Generally, these problems are handed over to Li Yingcheng to deal with, and then report the performance to Ye Jingcheng afterwards.

But this time the situation is different, because the film to be released in Nanguo Cinema is a foreign language film, first of all, the company has not been exposed to this business so far, and secondly, it is related to the market of foreign language films and the operation of Anle Pictures.

Second, this business is the other party taking the initiative to find the door, this kind of performance can be said to be a good start, because the other party has come to the door has proved that the company and the theater chain have a certain reputation, and it is no longer the kind of obscure small company.

On a final note, the title of the film seeking release is Star Wars 5: The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth episode of the Star Wars, Star Wars, and the second in the main series.

The reason why Ye Jingcheng's idea was aroused was because "Star Wars 4: A New Hope" released in 1977, the first part of the main series, immediately attracted a warm response from the audience upon its release, and finally earned a staggering $775 million.

And now "Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back", although it is not as good as the first part at the box office, its quality is recognized by the outside world as the best episode of the "Star Wars" series.

Ye Jingcheng naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity, making money while also expanding the business scope of the cinema chain. The only thing that makes Ye Jingcheng question is that it has been half a year since the film premiered in North America, why the producer did not come to Hong Kong Island to seek cooperation during this time.

It stands to reason that Hong Kong Island can be said to be the second largest box office in Asia, and this film will definitely land in Hong Kong within three months of its release in China, and it is impossible to miss this place due to negligence, let alone a problem with the producer's channel, because they already have the experience of the previous film, and this kind of thing will only become more and more familiar.

If you really want to explain from Ye Jingcheng's absoluteness, it is possible that the producer and the company acting as the distributor have fallen out, or they want to get greater benefits from it.

For whatever reason, man is now sitting in front of him. Ye Jingcheng had no choice but to play Tai Chi, and decided to make a preemptive speech: "Mr. Kershner, it's better to talk about your willingness to cooperate." ”

"This Ye, I have investigated your company's information a little, and I can only say that it barely meets the conditions of our company's cooperation, so I hope that the box office of the movie will be **** shared." Erwin? Kashner said with some pride.

"I'm six, you're four?"

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng sneered. These dead ghosts usually talk about democracy and equality, but they are very cunning in any negotiation with interests.

It's like when you talk to them about business, you have to express your intentions directly, but you also have to leave room for the other party. To put it simply, it is not to go around in so many circles, and there are enough benefits to attract the other party.

“oh―my-god。” Erwin? Keshner cupped his forehead and said with an exaggerated expression: "Ye, you shouldn't have woken up yet, right?" What could be you six and I four. ”

Ye Jingcheng smiled indifferently and said, "Isn't this normal?" As far as I know, the box office results in North America account for 30% of your films at most, is it not sincere enough for me to give you 40%? ”

Erwin? Kershner was not as relaxed as he was just now, and said: "Most of the markets in North America, how big of a market are you here?" I dare say that the 1% of the box office over there may be higher than the total benefit generated by yours. ”

Erwin? What Kershner said is true, the North American box office is often in the hundreds of millions, and it has to be measured in dollars. Even if it is one percent, it is not inferior to a movie with a box office of 10 million on Hong Kong Island.

In the current environment of Hong Kong Island, Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin do not have this ability for the time being, but Golden Harvest independently produced a "Senior Brother Out" with a box office of 10 million years ago a few years ago. But that's all, it will take at least several years of development to reach new heights. In addition to the film industry, this development also includes the commercial development of Hong Kong Island.

But is Ye Jingcheng included? Clearly he's an out of place. So he said indifferently: "And then? ”

"And then?" Erwin? Keshner even suspected that he had misheard and said, "Ye, do you really not know if you don't know?" ”

"Is there a difference?" Ye Jingcheng is still harmless to humans and animals.

"It's a big difference, if you really don't know, then I can ask the assistant to explain it to you. If you're pretending not to know, I think I'd consider working with other companies. "Speaking of which, Erwin? Kashner brings some resentment about being played.

"Mr. Kershner, rudely ask, why did you choose to cooperate with our company?" Ye Jingcheng began to pull the topic.

These kinds of questions, Erwin? Naturally, Kashner would not tell the truth, and replied reactively: "I have my own considerations. ”

"Our company also has the advantages of our company." Ye Jingcheng said with a smile: "Mr. Kershner, the box office that Hong Kong Island can create is less than 1% of North America, but there is not only one region in the entire North America. ”

"And what do you think it should be?" Erwin? Kashner pondered.

"According to the rules, I don't take advantage of you, and I hope you respect me." Ye Jingcheng put forward his own conditions.

"Ye, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and leave? I don't think there is more than one film company on Hong Kong Island, and your company can only be regarded as a rookie in the industry, and I think there are no less than three film companies that can offer better terms than yours. "Erwin? Kashner threatened.

"Kashner, I thought you foreigners were pragmatic when talking about business, but I didn't expect you to use it as well."

Don't wait for Erwin? Kershner asked what he meant, and Ye Jingcheng continued: "It is true that there are three film companies on Hong Kong Island that are not smaller than my company, but I think there is only one one film company willing to make an offer, right?" ”

"Why do you think so?" Erwin? Kashner still didn't let go

"I don't know if Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers will cooperate with you in the future, but now...... I don't think they're interested. ”

Not long ago, both companies released so-called Hollywood blockbusters, as well as foreign-language films in which they themselves participated in the investment. As a result, the two movies "Killer Trench" and "Blade Runner", let's not say how shocking the final results were.

Even if Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai still have the determination to enter Hollywood, they will not take the initiative to contact this aspect of things in the short term. And the two major studios currently have their own policies.

Not to mention the Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system, the internal film sources cannot be arranged, let alone the release of foreign language films.

Chenglong, the life sign on behalf of Golden Harvest, was scolded on the street because of the bad movie "Killer Trench", and the top priority is to produce a new film to reshape his image on the screen.

As for Anle Pictures, the channels and audiences of foreign language films are indeed better than those of other theaters, but the platform is never as big as other theaters, and most of the foreign language films represented are directly bought out, and they may not be willing to increase costs and risks to cooperate with producers.

To be analyzed like this, Erwin? Keshner knew that the young man in front of him was more shrewd than he imagined, so he had to change the way of conversation with a bitter face: "Ye, can't you be fifty and a half?" ”

"Yes, why not, I'm fifty and a half, you're forty and a half, and I have to thank you." Ye Jingcheng is serious.

"That's still five-five." Erwin? Kashner compromised.
