Chapter 301: Nie, the Spoiler
Negotiations were temporarily suspended that afternoon, as for the copyright assignment agreement? Naturally, it was not signed.
Zhao Yan and Xu Shaoji left temporarily, Deputy Manager Wang and Miss Li of the Copyright Department of Baidai Media booked two rooms directly in the Jinding Hotel, and as soon as they entered the room, Deputy Manager Wang threw the briefcase in his hand on the computer desk near the door, and said with a little irritability while picking at the collar and loosening the tie: "This kid has a really big appetite!" Is this sure that we will definitely buy his book this time? Just sold a "Full Moon Scimitar", this is the second movie book, and I dare to open the price to such a big price! The lion's big mouth is not such an opening! Thinking so much about money, why didn't he go and rob the bank? ”
Miss Lai: "......"
After a few seconds of silence, Miss Li said with a flat expression: "Because the bank robbery is not so fast!" ”
Deputy Manager Wang looked back at her in amazement.
Miss Li stopped, faced the stunned eyes of Deputy Manager Wang, and said in a flat tone: "If the box office of this book can reach the level of "Full Moon Scimitar" after it is filmed, have you calculated how much money he will get according to his share request today?" If the box office is higher than "Full Moon Scimitar", how much money will he get? ”
After listening to her explanation, Deputy Manager Wang was stunned, then pouted with a wry smile and scolded: "Yes! With Xin Mangxia's fame and directing ability, any film he directs, the box office can be very much expected! It's entirely possible that what you're talking about will happen! Well, it's faster than robbing a bank! This kid! What a big heart! This is to want a book to eat for a lifetime! ”
"What now? There's no way we're going to agree to him, are we? Miss Li asked.
Deputy Manager Wang smiled as he walked into the room and said, "Of course it is impossible to fully agree to this condition to him!" If I dare to agree to such an exaggerated condition, I will be the deputy manager when I go back this time! ”
Miss Li followed behind him step by step: "However, we have to get the book that Director Xin wants to shoot!" ”
Deputy Manager Wang: "Yes! If I offend Director Xin, even if Director Xin doesn't speak, the big boss will still let me get out! I think that kid saw this, that's why he dared to open his mouth so much. This is fearless and will eat us! ”
As the assistant to Deputy Manager Wang, Miss Li made timely suggestions: "Turn in the difficulties!" Hand over the decision, and no matter whether the result is successful or not, the responsibility is not on us! ”
Deputy Manager Wang walked to the rattan chair by the window and sat down, nodded, and smiled: "Of course you have to do it!" I won't be unemployed, but I can't make a big mistake! ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number to go out.
……
The next day at noon. Zhao Yan and Xu Shaoji were invited to come to the business district of Jinding Hotel again, and sat across the table with Deputy Manager Wang and Miss Li, and the four of them still ordered coffee.
When they sat down, Zhao Yan and Deputy Manager Wang were still smiling, and Miss Li and Xu Shaoji still had professional expressions, calm and plain.
The protagonists are still Zhao Yan and Deputy Manager Wang.
The smiles of the two are similar, but the sitting posture after sitting down is different.
Deputy Manager Wang's back did not touch the back of the chair, and Zhao Yan leaned on the back of the chair very relaxed.
When he sat down, Deputy Manager Wang greeted with a smile: "Mr. Ishimi, how was he resting last night?" Have you had lunch? If you haven't eaten it yet. Can you give us a chance? ”
"Thank you! I had a good rest last night, and I had lunch, Manager Wang! A day has passed, and I wonder how you think about it? Can I sign up today? ”
Deputy Manager Wang smiled. Zhao Yan also smiled at each other, and his tone was tepid.
After listening to Zhao Yan's inquiry, Deputy Manager Wang's hands on the coffee table were folded together, still smiling. He said, "Personally, I am very inclined to sign a contract with Mr. Iwami yesterday, but you also know that I am only an assistant manager of the copyright department of EMMOI. The position is lowly and powerful, and I am not qualified to accept such high conditions as you, but after the two of you left yesterday, I have already reported your request, and instructions have been given from above, Mr. Iwami? ”
Zhao Yan smiled and stretched out his right hand to signal: "Listen up!" ”
Deputy Manager Wang smiled: "Our company basically agrees to your two conditions!" There is only one thing that needs to be added, negotiated with you, for every 100 million additional box office you request, your score will increase by 1%, and we have no objection to this, the above means: this share must have an upper limit! Hehe, according to the news we have learned, the negotiator who is about to be sent by Maniac Films also came with such a cap clause, Mr. Iwami! You've probably heard of that, right? ”
Zhao Yan chuckled, lowered his eyes slightly and raised them, looked at Deputy Manager Wang opposite, and asked with a smile, "What is the upper limit you set?" ”
Deputy Manager Wang: "5%!" ”
"Huh!"
Zhao Yan laughed out loud.
Deputy Manager Wang: "What is Mr. Ishimi laughing at?" ”
Zhao Yan shook his head slightly amusedly: "I remember that I told Manager Wang yesterday about my psychological bottom line!" 10%! Below this share, I can only say that I look forward to our next opportunity to work together. Manager Wang! A 10% box office share may seem like a lot, but I think it's very reasonable! Because if I want to get a 10% share of the box office, the box office of this movie must reach 10 billion! Or even higher! The less the box office, the less my share will be! If I can get 10% in the end, I believe your company will earn even more! It's a win-win deal! I don't think that's too much to ask! ”
Deputy Manager Wang showed a wry smile, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "I understand!" I understand what you mean, too! Logically speaking, this is indeed a win-win agreement! As I said earlier, from my personal standpoint, I wanted to sign an agreement with you yesterday, but I don't have the right to do so! The upper limit of 5% was set by the leader above me, and I have no right to give you more! Mr. Iwami! We are the strength of Baidai Media, you must know, as the saying goes: the scenery should be long-sighted! This is our first cooperation, as long as this cooperation is pleasant, we will have the next time, the next time, and even more cooperation, when you earn in the future, why not take a long-term view, and our company to form a good fate? ”
Zhao Yan laughed when he heard this, and at the same time began to applaud.
"Huh! Manager Wang is really eloquent! Admire! Admire! ”
Deputy Manager Wang smiled cooperatively.
Zhao Yan applauded three or four times, then stopped, and returned to a smile on his face: "I also agree with the long-term truth!" But I also think that if you want to go long-term, you must have a fair, just and reasonable first cooperation! So, my bottom line is still 10%! The bottom line! If it can be broken through, what is the bottom line? What do you say, Manager Wang? ”
When he asked the last sentence, Zhao Yan's expression was smiling, but his eyes were serious when he looked directly at Deputy Manager Wang.
Deputy Manager Wang opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue to persuade for a while.
It's not that he can't find what to say, with his eloquence, as long as he wants to, he can say as much persuasion as he wants, but he saw Zhao Yan's persistence from Zhao Yan's serious eyes, which made him realize that even if all the prepared words in his heart were said, they would not work.
Since it doesn't work, it's impossible to say it anymore in his capacity, and it's nonsense to say useless words, and as a qualified negotiator, every nonsense will only show his incompetence!
The scene was silent for a while, Deputy Manager Wang and Zhao Yan looked at each other, Deputy Manager Wang saw firmness in Zhao Yan's eyes, and Zhao Yan also saw hesitation and annoyance in Deputy Manager Wang's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Deputy Manager Wang smiled wryly and asked tentatively, "If, Mr. Iwami!" What if I can help you get 8%? If I could help you get the 8% cap, would you agree to sign up? ”
Zhao Yan's expression did not move, he just shook his head slightly, and the firmness in his eyes did not waver for a moment.
Deputy Manager Wang was silent again.
After a while, he asked again: "What if it's a 5 million signing fee plus an 8% share cap?" Mr. Iwami! This condition is already very sincere, right? If you want, I'll help you fight for it as best you can! ”
Miss Li and Xu Shaoji's eyes subconsciously fell on Zhao Yan's face, coupled with Deputy Manager Wang's gaze, the three pairs of eyes were paying attention to Zhao Yan's expression, such conditions are indeed very rich and sincere.
Zhao Yan didn't shake his head this time, but he didn't nod either, his eyes drooped slightly, and finally he simply closed his eyes, and I don't know if he was considering whether he would agree to this condition.
Because they didn't know, Deputy Manager Wang, Miss Li, and Xu Shaoji's eyes stayed on Zhao Yan's face, and in their hearts, the three of them thought that Zhao Yan was hesitating.
At the negotiation table, once you hesitate, you will be seen by the other party, and then turn this hesitation into agreement.
Did Zhao Yan really hesitate?
Once again, the atmosphere at the negotiating table became silent.
Suddenly, a mobile phone ringtone, breaking the silence, came from Zhao Yan's trouser pocket.
Zhao Yan opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone, and the eyes of Deputy Manager Wang, Miss Li, and Xu Shaoji all shifted to the mobile phone in Zhao Yan's hand.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first!"
Zhao Yan smiled at Deputy Manager Wang and said, Deputy Manager Wang smiled and stretched out his hand to signal that Zhao Yan was okay.
"Hello? Who is it? ”
Zhao Yan connected the phone.
"Hello? Hello! Are you the screenwriter of "Full Moon Scimitar"? ”
A young woman's voice came over the phone.
"I am! Who are you? Zhao Yan's expression was flat, there were many people who called such an unfamiliar number to ask so recently, and he was used to it.
As soon as the other party spoke, he knew which film company should want to buy his script, but so what? The prices offered by those studios were not as high as those offered by EMI Media and Fanatic Films.
"Ah, hello hello! I am the secretary of Mr. You of Nie's Media, and we would like to say a few words to you, is it convenient for you now? ”
Nie's Media? Mr. You?
Zhao Yan subconsciously raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and at the same time subconsciously glanced at Deputy Manager Wang opposite.
The strength of Nie's Media is not below Baidai Media. (To be continued.) )
