Chapter 18 Win-win cooperation
On Saturday, there was good news again from the company's side.
The cooperation negotiations between Zhengdong Pictures and Yousheng have made significant progress.
Yousheng still gave in.
Zhuo Qinglian gave Zhou Yi a detailed briefing on the negotiations. She participated in the whole negotiation process and knew the details of the negotiation very well. For such a heavy matter, she, as the spokesperson of the boss, of course has to attend.
The negotiation can make progress so quickly, mainly because the box office of "Five Poisons" is too powerful. Zhengdong is very confident, even in the face of Yousheng Entertainment Group, one of the six largest in China, he will not be afraid and whisper.
Especially last weekend, the box office of "Ultimate Mission (3)" in the first week was actually inferior to the box office of the second week of "Five Poison Gates", and the mid-range strong films were defeated by small-budget films. And they are more interested in Zhou Yi.
Some veterans in the industry have begun to study the success of "Five Poisons" and understand where this film wins.
Zhou Yi did give a lot of credit. Although Takamatsu is the leading actor and the table is excellent, the key to the success of the film is not in them. If they were so capable, they should have become popular a long time ago. Veterans know this.
With the strong recommendation of Shui Yuexun, Yousheng naturally wants to take the lead and reach cooperation as much as possible. They are not necessarily the only companies in the industry that think this way. If other companies join the competition, it will be a bit of trouble, especially the other ones in the Big Six.
Zhou Yi is obviously a potential stock of action superstars in the future, and Yousheng certainly wants to seize it, at least to take a ride. Yousheng is not weak in terms of actresses, Vivien Li is qualified to compete for the first sister in the industry, and currently cooperates with Dongying's super popular Hua Dan Shui Yuexun, who is the top actress candidate in the industry. But Yousheng is worse in terms of top male stars, especially inferior to Huanyu, so he naturally has to try to make up for it.
Huanyu has Lou Degua, the first brother in the industry, and Zhao Yanqin, a popular action superstar, who is considered the top in the six major Chinese schools.
Yousheng is naturally unwilling to lag behind.
They already knew that Zhou Yi was the boss of Zhengdong, and it was impossible to pull Zhou Yi into their own company, but at least they had to establish a cooperative relationship. In this way, in terms of top male stars in the future, they will not suffer. Yousheng and Zhengdong value different things, and this kind of negotiation cannot say who suffers and who takes advantage. But in any case, in the face of this situation, Yousheng Group has to give in.
The initiative is in the hands of Zhengdong, and the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married.
In particular, the total box office of "Five Poisons" has exceeded 200 million yuan, which has increased the bargaining chips for negotiations. Naturally, Yusheng will get the news. In order to win over Zhengdong Pictures, it is inevitable that they will pay some more price.
In the end, Yousheng agreed to act as an agent for the overseas film distribution business of Zhengdong Pictures. Of course, they are not responsible for the cooperation that has already been finalized. Due East is mainly for the future. According to the agreement between the two parties, Zhengdong Pictures can get 28% of the overseas box office share ratio.
This is already a condition for Yousheng's strategic ally, and it is impossible to let it go again.
After all, if Yousheng conducts overseas issuance, it also needs to find some overseas partners, and it must give up some of its interests. There's no such thing as a free lunch. And Yousheng does distribution, and he has to make money himself, so he can't do good deeds for free. Of course, they can repeatedly arbitrage more issuance benefits through guò investment and other means, needless to say. That's what people do.
Yousheng's negotiation manager explained the proportion of the industry very clearly, and it was indeed very sincere in negotiation.
It can be said that it is impossible for Zhengdong to negotiate with any of the other six Huaxia companies to get better terms.
Although theoretically you can get 35%, everyone knows that you can't get it.
The senior management of Zhengdong really felt the sincerity of Yousheng and was very moved.
If Zhengdong does its own issuance, it may not be impossible to negotiate and get more shares, but Zhengdong did not have overseas distribution business before, and the relevant capabilities are very lacking, and there is no network resources in this area, so it is difficult to do it in a short period of time, and it needs long-term training. Moreover, negotiating one by one is indeed time-consuming, labor-intensive, and very troublesome, and it is difficult to get a better share ratio.
Even if you get it, the foreign distribution company has a way to trick you, and then deduct the publicity and distribution fees, and you will definitely have to pay for this aspect, but you can't calculate how much it has spent. Just like some large domestic companies do publicity, they are all left-handed to right-handed, just look at the book figures, they are all very large, what should you do? Can you still go and investigate the lawsuit yourself? That's not worth it. And you can't win at all in someone else's turf. In this way, if you recalculate the percentage at the end, you will find that there are only a dozen percent left, and that is considered very good. This is not as good as the conditions given by Yousheng, after all, large companies will definitely take advantage of it.
If the background is big enough and the strength is strong, you will naturally be able to get more benefits.
There's something you can't envy.
And negotiate by yourself, and when the negotiation is finally completed, it is estimated that the daylilies are cold, and time waits for no one, so what's the use?
In particular, Zhengdong Pictures is currently going to shoot films one after another, and the company is not enough manpower and talent reserves, so it is indeed difficult to carry out more business work. People don't have that much time and energy to do these things.
For example, in the marketing of the company's peripheral products, Manager Zheng is very busy, and now the department framework has not been set up, and the department head has not been found. In addition, the brokerage department also needs to be expanded, and the recruitment of personnel is also expanded, how can there be so much energy to engage in the overseas distribution business of films?
Now the company's top executives are really busy, and they are already busy with their feet hitting the back of their heads.
After all, Zhengdong is only a small second-tier company with limited strength, and it is impossible to cover everything.
In this way, if you want to engage in overseas distribution, it is an inevitable result to form an alliance and cooperate with a reliable first-line large company in the industry.
You can't just look at the immediate benefits, you have to look at the long-term benefits.
At present, it is a matter of course to give up some of the benefits.
If it weren't for Zhou Yi's excellent performance, I'm afraid that such a sharing ratio would not have been able to be obtained at all. If the company is unwilling to give up part of the benefits, I am afraid that it will not even be able to get part of the benefits, which is even more uneconomical. At the moment you can only earn a little, it is a little, and this is the best result. Then the company can take this opportunity to gradually build its own network of contacts and slowly develop.
All work must be done one by one, and it is impossible to achieve it all overnight, and you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite.
This is the basic situation of the company at present.
Yousheng saw that the top management of Zhengdong had been moved, so he added a heavy chip again.
Yousheng Entertainment Group and Dongying's Entertainment Group are strategic partnerships, and Entertainment Entertainment Group also has domestic agency distribution business, and their group also has subordinate cinemas in Dongying China. The rules of the game in the entertainment circles of the two countries are different.
In this way, the entertainment company can help to do the distribution, and they can make more profits, and they can directly give a 30% account sharing ratio.
This split ratio is really good.
Moreover, in addition to China, the largest and most important Dongying market in East Asia has opened its door to Zhengdong Pictures.
If there had been a blood transfusion in this market before, the former boss of Aurora would not have vomited blood and been hospitalized, and the company would have faced collapse.
The Dongying market is too important for Zhengdong Pictures. Now that there is a relationship between Shui Yuexun and Yousheng Entertainment Group, it is indeed not difficult for Zhengdong Pictures to enter this market. The stepping stone is already there!
In this way, it is logical for Zhengdong to pay Zhou Yi as a bargaining chip and cooperate with Yousheng Group to make a film.
Moreover, Yousheng also agreed to use behind-the-scenes resources in the future to help Zhengdong promote the film and fulfill its obligations as an ally.
People are so sincere, and the strategic cooperation agreement between the two sides can naturally be reached smoothly.
Zhengdong Pictures did get what it wanted most and make up for a shortcoming.
The company's senior management knows that Yousheng has indeed made concessions to the limit, and it is impossible to give in anymore. That's it.
Although this is only an agreement of intent, it is clear that neither side will break the contract.
If you lose your integrity, you can't mix in the industry. What's more, both sides have backgrounds, Yousheng is one of the six major Chinese ones, and the background of Zhengdong is about to come out. It is completely the style of a prince that a little-known high school student like Zhou Yi can spend a huge amount of money to acquire a film and television company. With Yousheng's backstage, as long as you inquire carefully, it is not difficult to know Zhou Yi's origin. I didn't know it before, because I didn't pay attention to it. As long as you pay attention, you will naturally know.
Since both parties have backgrounds and are not so easy to pit, everyone will naturally respect the contract and will not use random means.
Yousheng paid such a huge price, and in the long run, it is still worth it.
If there are no such tangible benefits, how can Zhou Yi agree to cooperate with the other party to make a film?
Yousheng understands this.
Although Zhou Yi is a newcomer in the industry, he is also the boss of Zhengdong, and it is impossible for him to help other companies make films, unless it is a strategic ally company. Judging from the current box office results of "Five Poisons", he can make at least hundreds of millions of yuan for making a film, not counting peripheral product development and copyright income, as well as overseas box office sharing, but he helps other companies make films and only gets tens of thousands of Chinese yuan for newcomer salaries, is that possible?
This is the biggest bargaining chip for the due east side.
It is natural for Yousheng to pay a huge price.
Only when the pay and the gain are equal, can the two sides cooperate.
Mutual benefit and win-win is the only feasible way.
The contract was officially finalized, and Zhou Yijia's ally Sheng Entertainment Group's beautiful girl fashion action blockbuster "Thunderbolt (2): Raptors Across the River" is a foregone conclusion. This is probably the first time Zhou Yi has participated in a large-scale zuò action movie, and it is a role with the super popular first-line Hua Dan Shui Yuexun in Greater East Asia. However, the filming date of this film is definitely not now, and the time will be postponed.
This sequel film is obviously going to be used to compete in next year's summer file, or the New Year's file.
There are Zhou Yi and Shui Yuexun to play with each other, as long as the script is suitable and the plot is exciting, it will definitely be burning!
In this regard, Zhou Yi is very much looking forward to it, not looking forward to making a movie, but looking forward to meeting Shui Yuexun.
With this level of cooperation, he can meet with Shui Yuexuan openly, and no one will suspect anything. No matter how close the relationship between the two is in the future, it will be a natural thing, and there is no need to deliberately hide it at all. And the negotiation with Yousheng can have such a result, Zhou Yi is indeed very satisfied, at least the company can have an extra piece of income. But tomorrow and Sunday, he has to go to the company's headquarters.
Zhuo Qinglian said that Miss Kusakarika Suizi, the agent of Shui Yuexun, and the manager of Qi Lianshan, on Yousheng's side, wanted to meet him. Now that the college entrance examination is over, he can't hide from him, no matter how busy he usually is, he has to find time.
Of course, there is no problem in this regard, Zhou Yi readily agreed, and he will definitely go to the appointment on time tomorrow.
On Sunday morning, Zhou Yi and the crew took leave, hitchhiked alone, and went to the company's headquarters. Teng Tiangang and Xi Wei didn't have to follow, they stayed with their sister. Tang Yan is still continuing to train dance and prepare for filming, and there is no problem over there.
Came to the company's headquarters, accompanied by Zhuo Qinglian, at nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yi met Miss Suikashi, the agent of Shuiyuexun, who came to visit the company on time, and Qi Lianshan, the manager of Yousheng Entertainment Group.
Everyone was very polite, and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Zhuo Qinglian introduced Zhou Yi, Miss Kusakari Kazuko is the youngest daughter of Kazuo Kusakari, chairman of the Japanese Entertainment Group, who graduated from the University of Tokyo and is now the agent of Miss Mizuzuki.
can let the chairman's daughter personally serve as the agent, which shows that the entertainment company really attaches great importance to Shui Yuexun.
Shui Yuexun is definitely the leader of the entertainment company, and it is also a super popular cash cow.
In addition, the overseas branch of the military command has also done a background check on this entertainment group, and Kazuo Kusakari himself is a master of Toei kendo, and he also has a secret identity, which is the fifth generation of the Yamada group, but this identity is nothing.
Overall, no problem.
The Dongying entertainment industry is always in contact with this group and that group, which is a normal thing.
Shui Yuexun is covered by this powerful company, and he is usually like a fish in water, and he is very comfortable.
It is said that there was also a case that the leader of a Tokyo violent group forced Mizutsuki to accompany him to drink, but as soon as he went out, he was beheaded to death by two knifemen on the street with a big knife. Whether it's true or not, then I don't know. It is estimated that the water moon is very happy to watch the excitement!
Zhou Yi also knows a little about these industry rumors, anyway, Shui Yuexun's fans don't believe it.
Kusakari Xiang Suizi is very young, looks like she is in her 20s, she must be older than Shui Yuexun, and her appearance is good, but compared with a delicate porcelain doll like Shui Yuexun, it is naturally a lot worse. She behaved very traditionally, very politely, and bowed repeatedly.
Of course, she is proficient in Mandarin and communicates with Zhou Yi without hindrance.
She said politely: "Zhou Jun's action scenes are refreshing and exciting, and becoming a Greater East Asian action superstar in the future is just around the corner." My family Ah Xun admires Zhou Jun's action scenes very much, and he strongly recommends and promotes this cooperation. Originally, Ah Xun was going to come over in person, but now she has to film, and she has no time to come here for the time being, so she specially asked me to greet Zhou Jun on her behalf. ”
Zhou Yi thanked him very humbly, saying that he was also a loyal fan of Miss Shui Yuexun and was looking forward to the cooperation between the two sides.
In this way, everyone naturally communicates happily.
Manager Qi of Yousheng also said with a smile: "Our Yousheng Entertainment Group's support for allies is well-known in the industry. Zhengdong has formed an alliance with us this time, and he will definitely not regret it in the future. In addition, it is impossible for Zhengdong Pictures to always make small-budget films in the future, and there will always be times when mid-range films or even blockbusters are made. But Zhengdong lacks experience and manpower, and Yousheng is not short of these, it is completely possible to invest and cooperate, and can also introduce well-known directors in the industry to join forces, and all kinds of behind-the-scenes and special effects can help. We can work together for a win-win situation. ”
Zhou Yi expressed his gratitude for this and believed that the two sides do have a foundation for win-win cooperation, and the future is worth looking forward to.
After this exchange, both sides have more confidence in alliance and cooperation.
Caojia Xiangsuzi and Manager Qilianshan both had a good impression of Zhou Yi.
Talk to each other like a spring breeze.
I have to say that the good looks do take advantage of it, and it is easy to make a good impression.
And Zhou Yi is gentle and elegant, although he is a master of national arts, his temperament is as warm as jade, the essence is introverted, the strength is not obvious, and there is no vulgarity and violence at all. The style of "youth version of Huang Feihong" is indeed very deceptive, and it makes people feel good about it.
If Teng Tiangang is replaced, it will definitely not give people this feeling of harmony, and he will be a violent element at first glance.
After the exchange between the two sides, the guests and hosts parted happily.
