"Ah Cheng, this is Mr. John, the representative of the AMC cinema chain in the United States."

"Mr. John, this is the owner of our company and the screenwriter and producer of this film, Mr. Su Mucheng."

In the living room of the brilliant company, Lin Yongqi made an introduction to Makujo and John.

"Hello Mr. John, welcome to visit." Makujo spoke fluent English and greeted the foreigner in front of him with a full beard and a particularly rough look.

"Mr. Su is really young and promising." John was also surprised that Makujo was so fluent in English, but he reacted instantly, and then looked at Makujo with a smile on his face.

There was also a slight surprise in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to be so young, not only to write such a wonderful script, but also to have such a good company.

John is a department manager at AMC Cinemas, and he just flew in from the United States today to negotiate about the release of the movie "True Colors of Heroes".

Speaking of this, it is actually a coincidence, John's wife is a Chinese, and he accompanied his wife to Hong Kong to visit relatives this time, and he traveled by the way. I happened to see a report about the film "The True Color of Heroes" from the newspaper, and it was already the late stage of the hero's release, and only the part of Miracle Company was still being released. Out of professional habit, he took his wife to the cinema to watch the movie. When he walked out of the movie theater, John was still thinking about this film in his mind, and this film gave him a great feeling, especially the shocking scenes of those gunfights and explosions were quite good, and he couldn't help but think about it. At that time, he immediately contacted the company's headquarters on the other side of the ocean and told the situation in detail. He feels that this film is very valuable, as long as it is done well, it will bring a lot of profits to the company.

The next day, a group of relevant staff from AMC Cinema Company also watched the film and collected more detailed information to bring back to the company.

AMC Cinemas Company has had a detailed discussion on this film, and there is a lot of internal controversy, some are optimistic about what they think is feasible, and some are disdainful, and after careful negotiation, they finally decided to give it a try. Just yesterday John was given instructions to conduct this negotiation on his sole behalf of the company.

This was the first meeting between Makujo and John in the brilliant company today.

After the two shook hands with each other, John went straight to the topic, "Our AMC company is more interested in the film "The True Color of Heroes", and we plan to take it back to try it. ”

I didn't expect this foreigner to be so pragmatic, and he opened his purpose as soon as he sat down. Makujo was only slightly surprised in his heart, but when he received Lin Yongqi's call yesterday, he was already prepared in his heart. Since the other party was so direct, Makujo also asked directly: "That's our company's honor, but I don't know how you plan it." ”

"Our company decided to pay $1.5 million to buy out all the copyrights in North America." John looked at Makujo with a smile on his face, the authority given to him by the company was not more than 3 million US dollars, and he could handle it with full authority. Before coming, John had gone through detailed thinking and judgment, and finally determined the price of 1.5 million US dollars, which would be nearly 20 million if converted to Hong Kong dollars, and he believed that it was enough to impress the other party.

Looking at the guy in front of him who was smiling but faintly looking a little arrogant, Makujo really wanted to punch this guy.

After calming down his somewhat annoyed feelings, Makujo shook his head very dryly.

"We can't accept this price, and if that's what your company decides, I don't think there's any need for us to talk about it."

"Hmm" I didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply, which was beyond John's expectations. He couldn't help but seriously look at the young guy in front of him again, only to see that the other party kept a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed firmness. Looks like this guy isn't that easy to fool around.

If 1.5 million US dollars is converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is more than 16 million, which is already relative to the original cost of this film, and the rest is the company's net profit. When Lin Yongqi heard the other party's offer, he thought about it for a while, and if it was his own, he would almost agree, but unfortunately the shogunate who was in charge refused bluntly, and he couldn't say anything.

Makujo looked at John so calmly, and in the end, John withdrew his gaze first, took a sip of coffee on the table, and then said calmly: "This play is indeed more exciting, but the style difference between the East and the West is relatively large, and we have to take a lot of risks, and we just plan to try." ”

For what John said, Makuro can also understand that he refused so simply before, one is that the price is too low, and the other is that Makuro doesn't like the mentality of the other party before. Now that this guy has put away the arrogance that has been revealed, everyone is negotiating, and Makujo is willing to continue talking.

After speaking, John glanced at Makujo again, only to see that the other party just smiled and nodded, but still did not speak, he helplessly touched the beard on his face, as if he had made some major decision, looked at Makujo and said: "In order to have a more pleasant cooperation in the future, I can buy out all the copyrights of our Americas at a price of 2 million US dollars on behalf of the company." ”

Another 500,000 US dollars, Lin Yongqi sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but admire Makucheng, and after directly refusing, the other party would actually increase the price by himself, and OnePlus is so much.

Hearing that the other party added 500,000, Makujo lowered his head slightly and pondered, Makujo actually didn't feel much for this price, he was more concerned about this cooperation. AMC Cinemas is a large company in the United States, as long as this cooperation is good and everyone is familiar with each other, it will be more beneficial to themselves and the company in the future.

At present, the distribution capacity of Brilliant Company is limited to Southeast Asia, mainly in Hong Kong, and there is really no channel for the release on the other side of the ocean. The whole Hong Kong is more familiar with Golden Harvest over there, the channel is wider, the company will definitely make blockbusters in the future, and it will definitely go out, just relying on Hong Kong is not enough, logging into the other side is the best policy, if it can be connected to AMC, it will be much more convenient in the future, which is a good harvest for the company.

Seeing that Makujo didn't speak for a long time, John couldn't help but feel a little anxious, no matter whether he agreed or not, he always had to say something, which was too tangled. If you keep the price down, the negotiation will fail. There will definitely be people in the company who will jump out and accuse, and Hans has been staring at his position for a long time.

Just as John was considering whether to speak, Makujo finally spoke, only to see him look at John with an affirmative face and say: "I also hope to cooperate with AMC, I mean 2.2 million US dollars, as long as you agree, we can sign a contract immediately." ”

This time it was John thinking, in fact, he was just deliberately delaying, the price of 2.2 million was completely acceptable to him, and he believed that if he bought out at this price, he would definitely be rewarded when he returned to the company.

After a while, John nodded helplessly, and then said briskly, "Okay, I was persuaded by you, just 2.2 million at this price, I hope we can have better cooperation in the future." ”

"Happy to work with"

"Happy to work with"

Both smiled and nodded to each other and shook each other's hands. As for the details of the contract, there will be professionals who will handle it, and they will only be responsible for the negotiation.

The cooperation was reached, and I wanted to invite the other party to lunch, but unfortunately John had to go back in a hurry, so the two of them sent him downstairs directly.

"Ah Cheng, there is really you, this is more than 20 million in hand." Lin Yongqi patted Mu Cheng's shoulder and said with a little emotion.

Makujo shook his head, he didn't care much about these, until he remembered the release situation in other places, "Uncle Qi, have you contacted the releases in other places?" ”

Lin Yongqi nodded and said: "Taipei has handed over to Miracle Company, and it has been determined that it will be released on June 1, and it is a cooperation with Dongbao Co., Ltd." After a pause, he continued: "In the afternoon, we will have final negotiations with representatives from Southeast Asia, and there is a film company named Tie Changkong who wants to win the agency rights of Malaysia and Europe. Or maybe you'd better come. ”

"Oh, there is a channel on the other side's European side?"

"Yes, we have learned that the Tie family is a relatively large family in Southeast Asia, and its business is very extensive, not only in Southeast Asia, but also in Europe. They also got involved in the film entertainment industry a few years ago, and this person named Tie Changkong is a child of the Tie family, and he is in charge of all the cinema business of the Tie family. And the other party is also a young talent, are you interested in meeting him? Lin Yongqi roughly said the information investigated by the company, remembered that the last time he saw Tie Changkong, who was also young and promising, compared it with the shogunate in front of him, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Makujo thought about it, and he had to go back to filming in the afternoon, so he shook it and said, "Forget it, I won't go, and I will rush back to the set in the afternoon." ”

Makujo has been busy with the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", except for the night of the celebration banquet and today's negotiation with the representatives of the American AMC company, he has never come out.

"How's it going, it's going well!" Makujo said that he would return to the set in the afternoon, and Lin Yongqi nodded and asked.

"Fortunately, it is estimated that it will take a while to be busy, not so fast on my side, when it comes to "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" and "Heavenly Love", you pay more attention, and the movies released by the company in June and July can rely on them." The filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" went well, but there was still some time before it was completed, and he didn't want to rush to shoot it, ensuring quality is the most important thing.
