Chapter 443: Threat
PS: Weakly ask for a monthly pass, what, can you come a few more no, there is discomfort in front of the eyes, the top has gone away, and the chrysanthemum bird has been touched below! Thank you, everyone!
This sentence even more exposed William Campbell's ambitions, and he really guessed correctly, "The Magic Apprentice" is not only five at all, but seven, plus the upper and lower episodes, there are as many as eight in total, Chen Jin originally wanted to hide a little, but he didn't expect to guess it for him.
As for "Spy in Spy", there are no less than five in Chen Jin's plan, among which the second episode that has been criticized by everyone, he also plans to cancel, he will write two more excellent ones by himself, of course, there may be more than five, as long as the movie sells well, just like the "007" series, dozens of them are not a problem.
Chen Jin originally wanted to take a look, but he still had a lot of whimsy in his head, and now he just didn't have time to sort out those things, for someone who wanted to eat a big fat man, as long as he was sincere, Chen Jin was happy to fulfill him, and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Campbell, I am very happy to accept your kindness." ”
William Campbell's move put a lot of pressure on everyone, it was obvious that this guy was planning to bleed heavily, and seeing him and Chen Jin singing and harmonizing, it seemed as if they were about to reach an agreement, and everyone couldn't help but feel even more pressured.
After saying this, Chen Jin spoke, still enjoying the wine and snacks, and William Campbell seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, also drinking and tasting snacks, and even, as if he had just found that the snacks on the plate were very delicious at this time, he smiled and raised his glass to Chen Jin, "Dear KING, you made this dim sum, I have heard everyone's praise for a long time, and I only have the opportunity to taste it today, it is really delicious!" ”
Chen Jin also raised his glass and took a sip of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Thank you, dear Mr. Campbell, as a successful playboy, you always know some ways to please women, don't you?" ”
After speaking, the two of them laughed, but they choked the other four people, although there was no sign of it, but it was really Yali Mountain.
The first one who couldn't help but was MGM's Tarron, who also first raised his glass and gestured to Chen Jin, "Happy cooperation, dear KING, we have already had such a precedent, this time, out of greater sincerity, I am willing to accept the contract conditions you just told William Campbell at a distribution fee of three percent lower than the standard baseline." ”
He couldn't help it, but he wasn't mentally unbalanced, and he had a good grasp of it, and everyone knew that Chen Jin threw out such tempting conditions, so he naturally wouldn't be satisfied with the last time MGM won the distribution rights of "Ransom Storm" and "Onslaught" by two percent below the standard baseline, and he needed something lower.
Therefore, it is impossible not to lower it at all, but if it is lowered too much, it will make Chen Jin want more, and one percent is obviously a good start, whether it is Edward or William Campbell, who seems to have a tacit understanding with Chen Jin, they all give Taryn an appreciative look.
Chen Jin smiled lightly as if he didn't see the eye contact between them, and raised his glass at Tyron, taking a sip, but he didn't say that the cooperation was pleasant, "Mr. Tyrann, I don't want to repeat too much how generous the conditions were just now, I think my generosity needs more sincerity." ”
Edward from the world finally asked, "KING, you can tell me about your conditions, perhaps, we can all know more about each other." "This guy is cunning, MGM's Taryn's first offer didn't have any losses, this is an open offer period, he can change it at any time, the important thing is that he only lowered it by one percent, he didn't let everyone fall into trouble and passivity. Although they are actually passive now. …,
But Chen Jin is different, as soon as he says it, the bottom line is exposed, and Edward and they can prescribe medicine according to the prescription, and grind it slowly until the conditions are reached - it is very simple that one party already has a bottom line, and one side does not, so if the party that does not have it hides it, it will definitely be able to get more benefits.
Of course, this no bottom line is not unlimited, Chen Jin is very smart, smiled and glanced at everyone who seemed to be looking forward to it, and shrugged, "Of course, I think we do need to know more," deliberately thought about it, "Since I can guarantee the box office with great certainty, I can also have the courage to give up ten percent of the benefits, then, I think, I should also expect you to have ten percent sincerity," smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Everyone, what do you think?" ”
As soon as he said this, except for his own pleasure, everyone frowned, and they all slandered in their hearts that this guy was really a lion with a big mouth, and he was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue, but it was not good for everyone to scold Chen Jin for being shameless, business, it was all discussed, if you make a condition, I will cut it.
The two brothers are good, and slowly and naturally they can come to an agreement, at this time, Fraki of Columbia Pictures stared at Chen Jin and said slowly, "But your sequels can't guarantee anything?" ”
Chen Jin was even more poisonous, and smiled and said Mr. Flage, I have already said before, if you feel that the sequel is risky, you can consider only talking about the current two movies. ”
Flaki almost suffocated to death, although it was said that there was no guarantee in the back, but no matter how there was no guarantee, his Chen Jin's signature was security, if it wasn't for Chen Jin throwing out the so-called sequel at once, why would everyone be so excited and tormented.
That sentence is well said, forget it if you don't see it, let everyone let go if you see it, how can you pinch it, more or less, it's all the meat on the legs of mosquitoes, not to mention, Chen Jin is still a mosquito the size of an elephant.
At this time, Paramount's Baker smiled and shook his head, "KING, I think we all have to show more sincerity, so let's give a more reasonable standard, let's all think about it." ”
Chen Jin didn't say anything more this time, and shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Baker, everyone, I think I have made my sincerity very clear, and it is time for you to make a decision."
Shrugging, "It's not too early, I'll talk to you just after I got off the plane, if you insist, I think we'll make another appointment to talk." ”
His energetic appearance, in any way, looked like he had just gotten off the plane, and it was really a hundred times better than Edward's heart-wrenched hearts, but Chen Jin obviously spoke threateningly, which meant that he couldn't talk about it.
As for talking about it next time, what about the deceit, it's just a perfunctory sentence, and it's not a contract, can you still use this to question people, he just needs to say lightly, "Oh, I'm sorry, you know the time is tight, I've already given it to the next family," because he is the one in control.
It is even conceivable that Chen Jin is afraid that as soon as he leaves this door, he will start calling other producers such as Warner, who have been eyeing him, then it will be delivered to people's mouths. Just like the 21st Century Fox at the beginning, how much money has been made so far, haven't you taken enough regret medicine.
Edward seemed to have the deepest understanding, and surrendered first, "WELL, KING, OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD, AND FOR THE SAKE OF MY SINCERITY, AND FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FRIENDSHIP, I HAVE DECIDED TO GO STRAIGHT DOWN THE STANDARD BASELINE BY FIVE PERCENTAGE POINTS, AND I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SIGN A CONTRACT." As he spoke, he raised his glass and gestured. …,
The others were surprisingly calm at this time, not that they didn't bid, but they were looking at the wind to see what Chen Jin wanted, this time, Chen Jin simply didn't even serve the wine glass, but sat upright, his arms were propped up on the table, the ten fingers of his hands were supported together corresponding to each other, and his expression was very serious for the first time, "Everyone, I think you haven't understood what the sincerity I am talking about, I have emphasized the basis of our cooperation before, and that is also the premise of our friendly cooperation in the future." ”
It was very simple to stop in two sentences, but the threat was very strong, and everyone knew very well what the so-called cooperation had always meant, in fact, the goal discussed by Chen Jin and Chen Zichen had been achieved, that is, five percentage points down the standard baseline, but when talking about business with these vampires, he naturally extorted as much as he could, so he deliberately put on a serious and very unhappy posture.
However, the opponents are all old foxes, and Paramount's Baker didn't seem to be affected by his threat at this time, but said coldly, "KING, you also understand what the basis of cooperation is all along, but your greedy attitude is unacceptable." ”
It seems that he also began to threaten Chen Jin, if he can't talk, he will break up in two shots, and more than half of Hollywood's big producers and distributors can sit on the scene, and they are likely to join others to boycott Chen Jin, so Chen Jin's life will not be easy.
However, in fact, all this is just in vain, because it is impossible for them to control the distribution channels at all, let alone unite with other producers and distributors, so where can they scare and threaten Chen Jin.
Very simply, the distributor does not mean that the cinema chain is owned, even if it has a cinema chain, it is very pitiful, the United States is not Hong Kong Island, Golden Harvest only owns one-fifth of the Hong Kong Island, and the United States, there are countless large and small movie theater chains.
Now there are almost 4,000 theaters in the United States, and 20 years later, there are nearly 6,000 theaters in different parts of the United States.
In other words, only by mastering the source of the film can you have enough say in the control of the theater, and then the question arises, who is Chen Jin, "genius screenwriter", "100 million yuan screenwriter", "withdrawal single script", fifteen movie scripts were released last year, all of which were big sellers, and the total is only less than 4 billion US dollars.
