Chapter 390: Arrange 'Afterlife'!
Adam Lambert also put a lot of effort into Chu Shi's friend, in addition to working very hard himself, he also used his personal connections to negotiate with the other party.
At the beginning, although the other party's work has been unpopular for many years, in the face of Adam Lambert's inquiry, he also offered a high price of 10 million US dollars, but with Adam Lambert's efforts, this number has also decreased rapidly.
The simplest, most direct and most effective way is for Adam Lambert to sue the other party that it is a Chinese entertainment company that wants to buy all the copyrights, and at this moment, the price offered by the other party has more than doubled!
After all, Huaxia's entertainment company has never set a precedent for opening up the American market, and the other party doesn't think it's such a coincidence, this entertainment company is the first person to eat crabs, and only thinks that it wants to buy the comics back and adapt them into a Huaxia TV series.
How about Huaxia's TV drama works?
Although some of the works are full of Chinese style and antique, compared with American TV dramas, there is naturally a huge gap in investment, whether it is investment or income, it is impossible to be too big, even if the theme of this TV series is different, it can't change the situation, after all, no matter how big the investment, it must be able to recover the cost, right?
Therefore, the other party guessed that Chu Shi would definitely not offer too high a price, and finally in the process of negotiation, plus Adam Lambert found many people to help ≦, which also made this price drop quickly, not long ago Adam Lambert also told Chu Shi that the negotiation price at that time had shrunk to 3.4 million US dollars, and it should not take long to end the negotiation.
And today, apparently, this is the day!
"Chu Shi. That's it! ”
After a long time, he finally helped his friend Chu Shi to complete the first thing that Chu Shi entrusted him. Adam Lambert was also in a good mood, and said to Chu Shi with a smile. "Guess what the final price is?"
As early as after Adam Lambert helped Chu Shi lower the price to 4 million US dollars, Chu Shi agreed to hand over everything to Adam Lambert to deal with with everything, after all, the price of 4 million is the original psychological price code of Chu Shi, as long as it is not higher than this price code, Chu Shi is already satisfied, and with full decision-making power, Adam Lambert's agency negotiation is also a lot simpler, and he is also quite happy with the trust that Chu Shi gives him, and he feels more and more that Chu Shi is a person who can be friends.
"I guess. You must have saved me a lot of money again! ”
Chu Shi laughed and asked tentatively, "Three million?" ”
“nonono! I, Adam Lambert, are out of the horse, how can I need three million? ”
Adam Lambert laughed, and he couldn't bear the secret in his heart, and he no longer hung Chu Shi's appetite, "Two million and seven million!" Isn't the price of $2.7 million very good? ”
"So low?"
Chu Shi's eyes lit up, no matter what, he didn't expect that Adam Lambert would actually lower the price to such a number. Compared with the $3.4 million discussed earlier, it has decreased by 700,000, which is equivalent to more than 4 million Huaxia coins, which is also a lot of money.
"You can't imagine it anyway! The other party is in the process of communicating with us. I also communicated with another TV drama production company, but the other company's company had a big investment TV series this year, which made them pay all the money. There is no money to invest in other film and television works, so I didn't even watch it. They were rejected, and in the end there were no competitors. They can only sell it to us at a reduced price! If they don't sell it to us, they don't know when they will be able to sell this hot potato, let alone 2.7 million dollars, even if it is 1 million dollars! ”
"Now, the contract side is ......"
"I have officially signed a contract with the other party, and the $2.7 million has been transferred to the other party's account, I will send you a contract when I go back, sign your name on it, and all the copyrights of this comic will belong to you, as for the money...... You can just call my account! ”
Adam Lambert also knew that Chu Shi was reluctant to ask for even more expensive songs, let alone let himself advance money, in order to avoid another dispute over money, Adam Lambert did not dwell on this issue.
Anyway, with the value of the two of them, they will not put this mere 200 dollars in their eyes, and with the friendship between the two, it will be at least 10 million dollars tempted, so there is a slight possibility, 2.7 million? It's too low!
"Great!"
Rao is moody Chu Shi also rejoiced after hearing the news, "This time it's really thanks to you!" ”
Before, Chu Shi was also worried that things would change if things dragged on, and he planned to ask Adam Lambert to help him sign the contract first in the past two days, but he didn't expect that he would complete this work without being reminded by Chu Shi at all.
According to what Adam Lambert said, he has sent someone to Huaxia with a contract, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he can arrive in Huaxia, and then Chu Shi only needs to sign his name on it, and the surrounding copyright of this comic work will all belong to Chu Shi!
"It's been a hard time for you."
Chu Shi on the phone smiled, "I will go to the United States in a while, I will stay there for a while, and then I will invite you to dinner - of course, the entertainment after the meal depends on you, the host, to arrange, I don't understand this!" Well, okay, that's it for now, let's get back to it. ”
Adam Lambert on the other side of the phone seemed to be busy with other things, and after telling Chu Shi the good news, he hung up the phone in a hurry without waiting for Chu Shi to finish speaking, but it did not affect Chu Shi's mood, and looked at Nami Miyazaki, who was already stunned on the side, with a smile on his face, "Look, my next work has been delivered!" ”
"Boss!"
Nami Miyazaki recovered for a moment, but still said with some stumbling, "You plan to adapt the acquired manga work into an American drama, playing the role of screenwriter, star, and investor?" This—this is really ......."
Don't blame Nami Miyazaki for being surprised, after all, the investment in American dramas and Chinese dramas is not on the same level at all. Chu Shi had just filmed a TV series in Huaxia, and suddenly said that he was going to play American dramas. It's really impressive.
But Miyazaki Nami thought about it carefully and suddenly found her own boss. There is really no shortage of ability, eyesight and courage!
Huaxia demon-level TV drama screenwriter ability, although it is the first time to serve as an American drama screenwriter, no matter how bad it is, it won't be bad, right?
As for such a thing as courage, Chu Shi has always been lacking!
From this point of view, Chu Shi's plan to play American dramas is really not a joke, and in line with the almost blind worship of Chu Shi all along, Miyazaki Nami also thinks. Chu Shi's American drama plan is likely to be a great success, and Chu Shi and Dimensional Entertainment will also become the first people to eat crabs in the American TV drama market.
The harvest is absolutely amazing!
Thinking of this, Nami Miyazaki was really excited! opened up a new market, what kind of terrifying return can be obtained, Miyazaki Nami is not clear, but what she knows is that if Chu Shi can play such a big investment American drama. And if you get the right to broadcast Huaxia, only by virtue of this, the first large-investment boutique American drama that can be broadcast on the Huaxia TV platform is the least. can also earn another share of prime time for Dimensional Entertainment, and even if you are lucky, after some negotiations. This price will be increased a lot!
In this way, Dimensional Entertainment will be the most top-notch entertainment company in the medium scale today. Yiyue has the strength of a large entertainment company, whether it is Chu Shi or Miyazaki Nami's status in the circle. Or the company's future development potential, will be rapidly improved!
Thinking of this, Nami Miyazaki was overjoyed in her heart, and she couldn't wait to let Chu Shifei go to the United States to start the negotiation work in this area now, and start filming in the shortest possible time.
It's a pity that Chu Shi directly denied her unrealistic idea.
After all, this matter is not as simple as imagined, although Chu Shi has long had the idea of this, although Chu Shi is a genius and has countless 'good ideas' stored in his head, but this is still a very difficult thing, even Chu Shi needs a certain amount of time to operate, and it is impossible to complete all the qi so simply.
"Take your time, if there is news in the future, I will give you an answer, so that you can prepare in advance, after all, it is just the acquisition of the copyright of the comics now, and the other qiē is not ready yet."
Chu Shi appeased Miyazaki Nami, and Miyazaki Nami could only accept the facts in front of her.
wanted to ask for more details, but Chu Shi did not explain it in detail, and Miyazaki Nami could only wait quietly and honestly.
After all, Chu Shi is his own boss, and if he wants to gain greater glory, he can only honestly choose to obey Chu Shi's orders!
The news of the comic copyright has been learned, and Chu Shi is too lazy to chat with Miyazaki Nami too much, and while rushing home, he made a phone call to Wang Lei and Liu Zaishi respectively.
The purpose is very clear, first of all, I want to ask about the personal schedules of Wang Lei and Liu Zaishi, and after learning that the two don't have much work at present, Chu Shi also proposed the idea of wanting to shoot a new variety show.
Although there are not too many clues, after getting the comic copyright, Chu Shi's plan to enter the American drama circle can be regarded as a beginning, and Chu Shi also firmly believes that it will not be long before this matter will officially start operating, and at that time, Chu Shi is likely to go to the United States to participate in it.
may just be the identity of a simple producer and screenwriter, or there may be an additional identity of an important actor, but no matter what, in a short period of time, Chu Shi may not be able to take care of domestic work.
"Entertainment No Circle" and Yu Zheng's TV series don't need Chu Shi to worry too much, and "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Voice of China" already have a special person in charge, at best, they can make two phone calls to Chu Shi occasionally to report.
The only domestic job that Chu Shi really needs to worry about is his new variety show that has not yet been officially broadcast! Naturally, for the normal broadcast of the new program, Chu Shi could only step up filming and strive to shoot more during the period after he went to the United States, so as not to panic at that time.
Of course, the most difficult thing to speed up the shooting is the schedule of the other six regular hosts! There is no problem with the whole team, after all, this new variety show is their only job during this time, including director Wang Lei, there is no problem, and the same is true for the guests! If you have time, you will choose who will attend the guests of the new variety show. What I really need to care about is the schedule of the other six fixed hosts.
Chu Shi is more relaxed alone. But it doesn't mean that the other few people are also idle and have nothing to do, and the coordination work in the early stage is still very necessary.
Luckily. Liu Zaishi himself has only one job at present, except for the variety show "Infinite Challenge", and "Infinite Challenge" is also very coincidental, because one of the members will be very busy recently, as early as a few days ago, he has been filming intensively and filmed seven or eight episodes of variety shows, and it is precisely because of this that in the next one or two months, Liu Zaishi will be very idle.
Of course. If there is no other job, Liu Zaishi, who can't be idle, will also choose some other jobs, but at this time, Chu Shi suddenly came to the door and exchanged his thoughts with Liu Zaishi, and bluntly said that after a while, Chu Shi will go to a foreign country for some work, Liu Zaishi is also very understanding and agreed.
Anyway, for Liu Zaishi, as long as he is not allowed to be idle. It's okay to be busy with work, the new variety show is recorded in the morning and recorded in the evening, there is no difference, but it can sell Chu Shi a face. It's also a good choice.
In a few words, Chu Shi and the others officially finalized it, and in the next time. Shoot three new variety shows every week, and shoot them at such a speed. After a month or two, at least the next six months of episodes can be stored. At that time, Chu Shi will be able to easily go to the United States to participate in the filming of the new TV series, and there is no need to be distracted too much!
Of course, the academic problems in the school are also very important, but Chu Shi is not too worried about this problem, in fact, as early as a few weeks ago, Chu Shi has already talked to his eleven masters about this problem.
I thought it would be difficult, after all, going to the United States for a few months would have a great impact on the teaching plan of the eleven masters, but I didn't expect that my eleven masters directly agreed to Chu Shi's request, and there was no need for Chu Shi to talk nonsense!
It's just that after this, the eleven masters of Chu Shi told Chu Shi that they had already had the idea of letting Chu Shi go to the United States!
When Chu Shi goes to the United States, several of the eleven masters will also go to the United States, on the one hand, for their respective work, and on the other hand, they also plan to introduce Chu Shi to Chu Shi with their friends who can also be called national treasure-level physicians in the United States, so that Chu Shi can get in touch with the advanced experience of foreign countries and better expand Chu Shi's horizons.
It can also be seen from this aspect that the eleven masters of Chu Shi are really thinking about themselves, and Chu Shi is also very moved in his heart, and he also nodded in agreement.
I have heard for a long time that the work of American movie and TV series crews is very leisurely, you will never work too much every day, and there are few overtime cases, and the script in Chu Shi's hands is not a heroic TV series, although there are protagonists and supporting roles in the play, but in Chu Shi's eyes, this is a multi-protagonist TV series, even if Chu Shi successfully wins one of the roles, he is only one of the main actors, and he will inevitably have a lot of free time.
Anyway, there's nothing to do, so it's good to learn more.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Shi arranged the affairs of Huaxia very simply, and now the most important thing is the script of this TV series adapted from American comics!
And in fact......
"Found it!"
After returning home, Chu Shi returned to his bedroom, and it took a lot of effort to open the safe hidden under the desk - a long time ago, Chu Shi would use his leisure time to write out the scripts of all the excellent movies, TV series, music, and variety shows in the 21st century that he could think of.
But after Chu Shi's official debut, Chu Shi was also worried that one day in the future he would suddenly urgently use these scripts, so he would use all his free time to write out the works he thought were valuable.
In a year and a half, a lot of excellent movies, TV series, variety show scripts have been written, as well as some high-quality songs, so their value is very high, not to mention big words, the value of any one of these works will be more than one million dollars - of course, it needs to fall into the hands of people who can understand, if it is thrown by a thief, it will be useless, and it may even be sold directly as waste paper.
However, its high value is absolutely undeniable, and for this reason, Chu Shi even spent hundreds of dollars to directly order a small safe.
Outside the safe, there is a very ordinary-looking wooden box, on which there is only a thin small lock, not to mention a strong person like Chu Shi, even if it is a single person, he can easily kick it open, the purpose of this small lock is not to prevent thieves, but to prevent a bear child from being idle to open Chu Shi's safe......
The real safe, locked in this incomparably thin wooden box, is not big, about the height of a large barrel of drink bottles, it is obviously impossible to hold a large amount of cash, of course, Chu Shi is not like the villains in many movies, put a large amount of cash and jewelry in the safe and wait for the 'arrival' of the righteous hero, what is placed in the safe is a valuable script, songs, and ideas!
