The cake is delicious, but it doesn't mean that everyone can eat it, Asian movies, especially Chinese movies, have little box office appeal in North America, Nangong Huang and Howling Beast almost ran all the overseas companies that Xiangjiang could find, and in the end, only Disney was willing to send someone to negotiate.

Seeing Mr. Pantra, the negotiator sent by the Disney Company in front of him, although Su Ming smiled very kindly on the surface, he couldn't help frowning in his heart.

People all have aura, living and moving qi, raising and moving bodies, a person with real power who has been in a high position for a long time, and a low-level employee who runs errands, even if they wear exactly the same clothes and say exactly the same words, they give people a completely different feeling.

Mr. Pantara looked to be in his thirties and less than forty, handsome enough for most chicks to stick upside down, tall and muscular, and wore a crisp suit on him, as if he had just come down from a fashion show in Paris.

However, according to Su Ming's experience, most of the men who look so handsome are working the front line of their jobs.

Sure enough, just after a few words, a strong atmosphere of sales staff came from the surface, enthusiastic, eloquent, and aggressive, but I couldn't see the calmness and depth that a real decision-maker should have.

Moreover, this guy everywhere reveals a sense of superiority of employees of world-class large companies in the face of small bosses.

"Mr. Su, you must know that in the past five years, the box office of Chinese films in the North American market has been less than one million US dollars, if it weren't for the fact that your film is an animal theme, we Disney would not have come to negotiate......"

"As for the other studios, your assistant must have felt their attitude firsthand, and swear to God that no fool will buy it......"

"Of course, Mr. Su, I'm not saying that your movie is bad, I'm a businessman and I have to take into account interests! I'm sure you can understand! ”

"Oh, you said that Chinese movies have had good results in the past, I don't deny this, and I remember it very clearly. Kung Fu, $1.71 million in North America, $128 million for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, $5ooo for Heroes......"

"Among them, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the highest-grossing film, if you take a closer look at his crew composition and investors, you will see that it can't actually belong to a Chinese movie, but a Hollywood movie......"

"But what about the other three? Let me list a few of them for you, all of which are blockbusters in China. If you are not honest, do not disturb, the North American box office is 420,000 US dollars, Dragon Gate Flying Armor, 410,000 US dollars, this record movie, 1o million US dollars, oh, and the recent hot summer blockbuster, the previous part of Small Times 4, Small Times 3, has almost no box office and word-of-mouth ...... in North America"

After saying a lot of eloquent words, Pantra finally concluded: "So Mr. Su, buying a Chinese movie is a great risk for every North American filmmaker, and according to the probability, it will inevitably lose money......"

Su Ming frowned, and interrupted him a little impatiently: "Mr. Pantra, you are a good eloquent, but I invited you to come, not to debate with you, I only want to know two points." First, how much is Disney going to spend on the exercise of Zootopia? Second ......"

Pantra couldn't wait to speak, but Su Ming interrupted him directly, and then said, "Even a salesperson should respect the customer's right to speak, right?" Okay, Mr. Pantera, please listen to me, and secondly, do you have the right to decide? If not, I'd like to talk to someone who really calls the shots. ”

was stabbed twice by Su Ming, Pantra did not express any anger and dissatisfaction, but this just proves that his status in Disney is probably really not high, maybe he is just a sophisticated grassroots minion.

When Su Ming finished speaking and picked up the teacup to drink water, Pantra smiled and said: "Mr. Su, you may not understand the operation mode of Disney, in Disney, employees at every level have a certain amount of decision-making power, even if my B can't be said to have 100% decision-making power, it's just that his authority is higher than mine." Also, for this movie, the quote I gave was ......"

Pantra deliberately sold a pass, wanting to see something from Su Ming's expression, but in the end, all he got was a face without any fluctuations.

Pantra was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said, "Up to $400,000!" ”

The beast was about to say something when Su Ming interrupted him with a wave of his hand and smiled at Pantra.

"Oh? If I'm not mistaken, the few blockbusters you just mentioned, except for the three 'windfalls', the highest box office for the rest is only 4o million US dollars, wouldn't it be too risky for you to offer me this price? ”

"Mr. Su, our position is different. You want to make money, and for Disney you don't expect to make money through Guò Zootopia, to be honest, we have long been prepared for no box office. ”

"Then I can't understand, since your company thinks that my movie has no box office in North America, why do you have to spend money to buy it?" Su Ming shrugged, put down the teacup, changed to a more comfortable position, leaned against the sand, and motioned for him to continue.

Pantra seemed to sense the pace of the negotiations once again in his control, smiled confidently, and said, "A big company like Disney doesn't care about $400,000 at all." We're spending $400,000 because of the animal resources that you have, and you know, Disney has a lot of cartoons. ”

"Oh, I see, you spend $400,000 not to buy my films, but to make friends with me...... In Western parlance, it is the establishment of initial cooperative relations. Su Ming said.

"You're a smart boss, and it's easier to talk to you than to your assistant." Pantra glanced at the beast, and his gaze fell on Su Ming again: "Your understanding is basically correct, I just add one thing, in addition to exercising your rights, you also need to sign a memorandum with us, and in the next year, you are obliged to use your animals to make movies with Disney, and Disney has the unconditional right of first refusal." Of course, we'll pay you. ”

The corners of Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he laughed strangely.

If Pantra was a standard Oriental, he would never continue to speak when he saw Su Ming's expression, but unfortunately he only learned a proficient Chinese language, but he didn't understand the culture of the East.

"Mr. Su, working with Disney will be good for you and the animals, at least for you to enter the North American market in the future, and at the same time to increase your visibility in China......" Pantra chattered to himself. (To be continued.) )8
