Chapter 257: American-style blurt

"In other words, in addition to film production, advertising media, and cultural publishing, the company is retained, and the game and comic artist brokerage business is all spun off from the company?" Red Moon asked.

"Yes, and all the existing shared products have been licensed at a high price, and our studio will make the products and hand them over to other companies to use." Wang Yang nodded.

"In this case, is it necessary to completely disconnect with TM Group, including the previous contract, and also to re-sign?"

"That's basically what it looks like......"

Hongyue listened, she looked at Wang Yang's expression seriously, and after finding that he was really not joking, she also nodded vigorously.

It seems that there is no way to get along with the Li family, and there is no way to do it, who has a conflict of interests, then in this case, it can only be a separation.

"When will the preparation start?"

"Hey, I was going to say it was in September...... Now it's basically August, when I'm free, I'm going to start to split the group, and after the split, I'm going to get back the original shares. ”

Hongyue nodded, she understood that this year's Xingchi Group was probably going to have big fluctuations.

I just hope that Wang Yang will do this so as not to cause everyone's backlash.

……

……

TM Group, Li Qin's luxurious office.

When Wang Yang came in, Li Qin looked up, with a puzzled look on his face.

However, Li Qin still smiled and said, "Wang Yang is here." ”

"Hmm." Wang Yang was still neither humble nor arrogant, and after he came over, he didn't say anything. He took out a letter of resignation from his pocket. There's not much written on it either. He is also very straight to the point.

"Mr. Li, in fact, I have always wanted to tell you about this, such as I have set up my own brand company, and it is still in the building of TM Group, although you will not affect my opinion because of some rumors from the outside world, but I always feel that my ability is slowly unable to reach this position......

There must be something faceless on Li Qin's face, at least. He really didn't expect Wang Yang to have such a rigid character.

This is the initiative to withdraw from the label of the Li family, which makes Li Qin feel a kind of "wings are stiff and can fly".

Basically, throughout the ages, all kings generally have this kind of thought, in fact, Wang Yang didn't regard Li Qin as his lord at the beginning, because what kind of joke, as a traverser, he is a person with a very superior sense of superiority, how can he regard a person who is not a traverser as his main attack?

What's more, he is the real protagonist.

There's a lot of money. has a wealthy background, even if it is the grandson of the predecessor of the traverser. What's there?

He's still a traverser!

Therefore, Wang Yang's sling mentality from the first year of crossing has exploded three years later, and it is a real state of change that is full of ambition and unwilling to give in.

This is something you can't do, because everything is forced out, and this world has never changed the laws of survival, and it has always been a cruel competition.

Wang Yang has been climbing in the past three years, and in the last time, he has finally touched some of the interests of some of the people in power above, or in other words, when he wants to stand higher and see farther, someone will kick him and push him under the cliff.

Or just let him be on the mountainside, not like he was asked to stand up.

How can this be!

Wang Yang will definitely not give in.

In a few minutes, Wang Yang came out of Li Qin's office, and Li Qin called the finance department almost face-to-face, and gave him all this year's salary.

Of course, these are all small amounts of money, at least for the current Wang Yang, 12.8 million, the same feeling as ordinary people of thousands of yuan, after all, he is a person worth more than a billion, and he can also see the glory of his future.

Not to mention anything else, the IP value of his current works can be estimated to be worth more than 10 billion casually.

Why did Wang Yang want to be a bad seed?

He just wants to see if the front wave is dead, or the back wave is churning?

After leaving TM Group, he looked at the building of TM Group, and he also had a thought in his heart, that is, why didn't he have such a building?

Why, can't you stand in the CBO, look down on the world, and be proud of the shopping mall?

Not to mention shopping malls, for example, Jobs, who he admires the most, is also a proficient in product development.

Wang Yang felt that he could naturally do it, at least, he wanted to be a man like Jobs.

All kinds of thoughts and thoughts in his heart were born, but Wang Yang temporarily suppressed them, after all, things have to come step by step, and you can't eat a big fat man in one bite.

And above the building of TM Group, when Wang Yang looked up, Li Qin was also looking down.

Both of them actually understand a truth, that is, ambitious people can't come together at all.

For example, Li Qin, in fact, he was born high, so he must have a conflict with Wang Yang, who wants to climb and pursue a higher level, which is unavoidable.

……

……

It's mid-July, and Wang Yang has frequently gone to the special effects company in the suburbs of Beijing to see the progress of the finished film of "Zombie Out of the Cage" in the past few days.

Basically, only his personal use of the knife in the past few days is left to review, and after the director arrives at the fairy, he only needs to be a volunteer spectator, or a wine taster to taste the red wine of the French vintage, and then to see if it can meet his own taste, but also the taste of the audience.

After a week of preparation, Wang Yang walked out of the special effects company this day, his face was full of dark circles, he had been working at high intensity for several days, just this kind of light on a cloudy day, it actually made Wang Yang's eyes feel a little sour.

Lao Wei came to pick him up. He got into the back of the car. Lying down and not idle. called Hongyue and said, "I'm going to take the film to the United States soon to negotiate a contract with them." ”

"Why do you want to go in person this time?" Hongyue asked on the phone.

"Well, it's okay, I want to run."

"Okay."

Hongyue also knows that her husband has suffered a lot of setbacks recently, and it is better to let him go out alone and be quiet.

……

……

On July 19, 2008, at the airport in Los Angeles, Wang Yang appeared in the passage of the airport wearing sunglasses, walked out and got into a black master's taxi. Listening to the black brother, he spoke with a strong Northeast Mandarin accent.

Wang Yang couldn't help but praise: "You are really 6, did you ask the Northeast teacher to teach you Mandarin?" ”

"No, my teacher is good at teaching people." The black man said with a smile.

"The Chinese language is so good, why don't you consider going to the Chinese film and television industry to develop?" Wang Yang asked, if such a foreigner comes to China to be an actor, it is still relatively easy to eat.

When the black brother heard this, he said, "Hey, I can do it now, while driving a taxi, I am teaching people to speak your Chinese dialect......"

Wang Yang laughed. He said: "Yes, yes, Northeast dialect is very interesting. Thank you very much for being able to carry forward the Chinese culture. ”

met such a strange driver on the way, which also made Wang Yang's mood very much.

He booked a luxurious suite in the hotel, after Wang Yang arrived at the hotel, he sat on the sofa relaxed alone, I have to say that in this kind of house in the United States, all kinds of smart devices are fantastic.

It's a very high-tech experience, basically a remote control can control everything in the room, of course, maybe some people will like some retro things.

For example, Jay Chou whom Wang Yang knows, he is a person who likes retro things very much, and in Jay Chou's house, he can't wait to be able to put all the Western and Central European styles of jewelry in Europe, America and Japan, and then remember that when Jay Chou got married in his previous life, he also got married in the century castle in Central Europe.

Of course, Wang Yang is not so enthusiastic about Western culture, but if there is any ink and oil painting, it may still attract his attention.

Speaking of Jay Chou, he remembered that Jay Chou seemed to have come to the United States recently?

Indeed, Wang Yang pressed the remote control and found ABC-related news, and there was news about Chou Dong.

"Forehead ......"

I saw the news that ABC's "The Green Hornet" invited Jay Chou to play the role of Kato, and then it made American netizens spray Jay Chou.

For example, on many well-known international social forums, the news about Jay Chou is as follows.

"Jay Chou? Why would you cast an actor I haven't heard of? ”

"We protest, who is this Jay Chou!!"

"What kind of yarn?"

"ABC go eat!"

Well, Wang Yang is probably the one who can translate American netizens like this, treating Jay Chou as coming to the United States to star in "The Green Hornet" Kato.

He and Chou Dong both used global mobile phone cards, so they exchanged calls.

It's all private numbers, so it's all a call.

Wang Yang heard that there was a commotion on the other side of the phone, so he hurriedly asked, "Dong Zhou, what are you doing?" ”

"You're in the U.S. too?" Dong Chou is naturally able to see where Wang Yang is now, which is Los Angeles.

"yes, where are you?"

If Wang Yang called, the caller ID was still in China, but if the other party was connected, he could see the position he was in, which is a feature of smartphones.

"Me, I'm on ABC TV?"

"Where's ABC?"

"I'm in New York."

When Wang Yang heard that Dong Chou was in New York, he nodded and smiled: "Are you going to shoot "The Green Hornet"? ”

"Well, how's that?"

When Wang Yang heard this, he still couldn't help but say: "Dong Chou, since we are not popular in Hollywood, according to what I said, let's go home." ”

"Go home ......" Dong Chou listened to the English spoken by his friend on the phone, and he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.

How to put it, he has already signed a contract.

When he told Wang Yang about this, Wang Yang couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay." All right. Good luck. ”

"Don't rush to hang up the phone. Ask you one thing, just say that you want to set up two very good companies? ”

"Huaxia MA Film Insurance Company, and Huaxia TVF Film Valuation Company."

"Well, what about me, dude, how much will it cost me?"

Wang Yang listened, laughed, and asked, "Then it depends on what your three-year box office is." ”

"Hi hi. The box office of Slam Dunk seems to be very high, doesn't it? Dong Zhou said with a smile.

"That's true." Wang Yang nodded.

Slam Dunk has been in theaters for a long time, and the global total box office data has long been calculated, with a total of 500 million US dollars, which is 1.5 billion Chinese dollars, which is definitely the highest sports movie in the history of Chinese films.

Of course, Wang Yang now has a new understanding of the money in this world, at least the box office of 1.5 billion Chinese dollars, itself. He may only be able to earn about 300 million yuan, and then he may make one or two hundred million yuan on copyright. Basically, a movie investment is like making hundreds of millions of dollars.

What's more? In fact, it is relatively much, because it is not easy to make money, especially the increase in personal wealth, which itself requires a lot of risk.

It's a pity that Wang Yang wants to truly realize his dream of being the godfather of Chinese films, and it's really not a matter of a little money, but a lot worse.

Now, I can only see if he can get the box office he wants on the movie "Zombie Out of the Cage"?

Faculty companies in the United States have AMC, and there are REGs.

Of course, REG is the first cinema chain, and the second is AMC, and AMC in the previous life was acquired by Wanda.

If Wang Yang wants to acquire a theater chain, it will almost need 4 billion yuan, and with so much money in the United States, he can leverage the bank, and after a few leverages, he will buy a company.

Of course, the premise is that the price is high, but the AMC is in a more awkward state.

Now, AMC has not had some particularly big crises, because the market for cinemas is still very good, with more than 300 theaters and so many 3D screens in AMC every year, and the box office income earned is still good.

Wang Yang's "Zombie Out of the Cage" is ready, and the first thing he actually did when he came to the United States was to be rated in the premiere state, and different states actually have different restrictions.

It's not that after his film is made, it will not be cut.

It's just that Wang Yang, who is familiar with American history, can say that some problems in the review will be reduced as much as possible, and the release of the movie as soon as possible is the king.

Because "Zombie Out" is an empty shell film production company established in the United States, in fact, the movie belongs to the United States and is an American film.

On the Huaxia side, it belongs to imported movies.

In recent years, the import market for Chinese films has been opened very openly, but it is still in a very conservative attitude towards imported films, although Wang Yang is a Chinese person and a celebrity, originally said that this movie will be released after two cuts, and the general chrysanthemum will be released, but now, Wang Yang has offended the godfather-level Han Sanping Sanye, let alone release it to him, it would be good if there was no explicit announcement of the ban, so now Wang Yang is facing a dilemma, that is, he has lost the Huaxia market.

This is something that makes him feel painful when he thinks about it, but he knows that he will not regret doing this, leaving the protection of the Li family's forces, not a lemur under a big tree, but inspiring himself to become a towering tree, for Wang Yang, this is just a good thing.

MAC Corporation.

Archibald, head of the film rights procurement department. Bronte, received Wang Yang.

This Archibald. Bronty's name is also long enough, that is, he has a better memory, otherwise he will definitely forget such a name.

Like other faculties and companies, everyone just sat together and watched the script and politely said a few words, and then went directly to the screening room and enjoyed it together.

However, in general, it is said that the film is mailed directly, and in the United States, it will not be said that it is like a domestic one, and the department will at least ensure the safety of the finished film, and will not say that it will be leaked very early, and ensuring the safety of the original film is actually something that the film needs to pay great attention to.

In a large room, almost halfway through the film. Archibald stood up. said: "Yang." We can go out and talk. ”

"Okay." Wang Yang is not very strange, because the movie has not been watched, which proves that he already knows the ending of the movie, or is more confident in the ending, but no matter what, he will not have any objections.

"Yang, our idea is to take full rights acquisition, I don't know how much you have invested in this film. What's the plan? ”

Wang Yang thought about it for a while, how to say it, his movie is not a movie, he originally planned to invest less than 100 million US dollars, because it will be promoted in China, and now if it is released in the United States, it may be best to use a gambling contract.

"If the film is less than $10 million at the box office, I don't want a penny."

"Suppose. The film grossed over $10 million, and I only wanted 20%. ”

"Suppose. When the box office reaches $30 million to $50 million, then I will take 25% of it. ”

"If the box office exceeds $100 million, I'm going to get at least 32 percent of the money."

"If the box office exceeds $300 million, I want at least 50 percent of the money."

After Wang Yang's words were finished, the other party pondered.

The box office share of the movie is actually not much in the United States, which is about 22%.

However, Wang Yang is the owner of the production, investment, and copyright, so he only needs to negotiate with the theater chain.

50% of the box office share, but the premise is 300 million US dollars at the box office, for AMC, such a high box office, both parties are undoubtedly making a lot of money.

Almost, this Archibald. Bronte didn't hesitate much to agree to such a gambling agreement, of course, he didn't expect that this movie would go towards a box office of more than 100 million.

Although it is very new, it is also very violent and so on, but because the restriction level must be very strict in the end, it may be banned to 17, or 13, which is very possible, after all, there are a lot of words starting with F.

Wang Yang and AMC quickly completed the signing of the contract, and there was nothing to worry about, and the gambling agreement was proposed by him.

And after he was busy with this matter of coming to the United States, he was relatively relaxed.

Next, it may be necessary to think about how to cooperate with AMC for publicity.

First of all, when the actors were invited, Wang Yang didn't think too much about publicity, but it was not difficult to invite them again.

However, the cost will undoubtedly increase.

This made Wang Yang think again, is there another way that can allow him to quickly gain some fame in the United States?

Come to think of it, the fastest way is actually only three words - talk show.

That's right, Wang Yang knows the charm of these three words very well, American talk shows, just like Chinese cross talk, how to say it well, is definitely a science, not only need to understand the history of the United States, but most importantly, will tell some very connotative, comparative jokes.

Of course, this is for the thinking of Americans, when Chinese people listen to cross talk and listen to baggage, they must be combined with some of their own cultural characteristics, and the United States is the same.

Wang Yang thought of a Chinese Huang Xi who became famous in the United States by talking shows.

Huang Xi wears a pair of glasses and has a relatively good understanding of American culture, so he can talk about American humor and be able to stand in the White House and contact with the president.

In this world, the content and jokes that Huang Xi talked about can naturally no longer be used.

However, Wang Yang can be adapted.

There is an American talk show host and comedian named David. Lightman.

Letterman's satirical comedy of absurdism has been influenced by comedians such as Steve Brown. Allen, Oni. Ecovacs and Johnny. Carson and others have a strong influence, and as a late-night talk show in the United States, the ratings in the United States are very high.

Huang Xi in his previous life became popular on this show, and then he received widespread attention and was finally invited to the White House.

Wang Yang also wants to go to the White House to see, or to stand in the White House, to joke with the vice president and presidents, and directly satirize the United States, such a thing, he is afraid that he can do it in a country like the United States.

For this reason, Wang Yang began to write talk show scripts, for a talk show host, wonderful scripts actually don't need too much, sometimes one or two copies are enough. (To be continued......)
