Chapter 147: Second Cooperation

The press conference was finally held perfectly, and the results achieved were also very good!

For several days, the mainstream media in China have been talking about Reviver's press conference through newspapers, television, the Internet and other communication channels.

Of course, there are different opinions, that is absolute, after all, the pen is in the hands of others, how to write and how to report can only look at people's faces!

However, for these miscellaneous speculations and reports, Huayi Company and Qi Lei himself are all treated with the same psychology. That is, as long as these reports are not too outrageous, they can go beyond their bottom line......

On the other hand, although Qi Lei finished the press conference, his new drama and new drama still failed to start filming immediately. Because there is a good saying: When two armies fight, grain and grass go first!

And now, after the press conference, it's time to ship the relevant props to the set and set up for the start of filming.

It was at this time that Qi Lei, who was in S City, received a letter from Japan!

This is the acquisition of 20.5% of the shares of the Japanese square company, through a message sent by an exclusive penguin account of Tencent.com, saying: After half a year of hard work, the first CG animated film "Cars" jointly produced by the three parties has finally produced the master tape! Now the next thing to do is to find the right voice actors for the voices of the various characters in the film!

At the same time, the production of "Kung Fu Panda", another animated film produced in the same schedule, has also entered the final stage of computer art, and it is estimated that it will be able to produce the master tape in about 1 month!

This good news came suddenly, and Qi Lei really felt like a pie in the sky had hit him!

It's really a good person, wow, when you doze off, someone can give you a pillow at the right time...... Isn't that what a good guy is!?

So at the beginning of March, Qi Lei did not hesitate to immediately send the master film of "Steam" to the company's approval team for approval. Along with the submission, there is also an adjustment plan for the work plan of his own studio during the summer vacation and an application for the cooperation of the company's marketing department!

This can turn Huayi up and down on his back!

Because recently, Huayi Company has been working for Qi Lei's two new dramas "Fairy Sword" and "Martial Arts", like a clockwork top, running at high speed!

In their opinion, there are only three dramas and one drama to be operated in this schedule! I never thought that in addition to these three dramas and one play, two animated films that had been in the process of making zuò abroad would be completed at this time.

Caught off guard, it becomes normal!

However, after a while, Huayi people's professionalism was hard enough, and after a flurry at the beginning, they immediately started to start, and their minds were full of thoughts about the two animated films that were ready to be screened.

Among them, the company's marketing planning department is the representative, because after the filming of film and television works is completed, the publicity and market judgment in the later stage, and then the formulation of the release scale and the determination of theater screenings and other matters are all completed by the department.

On the other hand, the artist management department in the company is also very busy.

Because of the sudden insertion of these two animated films, some agents who had already laid a good artist schedule plan had to re-designate the artist's work schedule.

And the most affected of them is our male protagonist Qi Leiqi's children's shoes!

………………

For four days in a row, Qi Lei and his agent Ah King stayed in the studio and worked more than 12 hours a day.

There is only one thing: to find the right voice actor as soon as possible, and then to determine the schedule to come and help voice the various characters of the "Steam" film.

The Chinese version is okay, it only took one day for this work to preliminarily determine the list of dubbing artists. …,

However, the dubbing work of the Japanese and English versions involved the cooperation of multinational companies, so the two of them and several department heads related to Huayi Company were really scratching their heads!

After all, one is one of the producers of the film, and the other is a famous company in the world film industry that has long established a cooperative relationship. can spread the influence of a film to the world, is there a filmmaker who doesn't want to do this?

Finally, after some bilateral discussions. The dubbing of the Japanese version is carried out by one of its producers, Square, who is responsible for finding a suitable voice artist to complete the dubbing of the film, as well as the overall planning and implementation of the painting in Japan!

As for the post-work of the English version, Qi Lei is responsible for contacting MGM in the United States to plan and implement the post-work of Qiē.

It is for this reason that a week later, Qi Lei and his agent Ah Wang flew to Los Angeles City, USA.

March 13, 9:30 a.m. EST.

Qi Lei and Ah King went to the Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, where they found a nice open-air café for today's interview.

Not long after, after phone call, Jack, an old acquaintance of the two of them, came to Qi Lei with their company's lawyer.

"Hi, my dear Chinese Qi, you came really early?" As soon as Jack came up, he greeted him warmly.

"It's not that I came early, it's that you came on time!"

"Hehe......"

After some pleasantries, Jack began to enter the role and immediately talked about the movie: "I have seen the master tape of the movie, it is very good! Our company has preliminarily decided to use 1,000 large and medium-sized theaters in the United States for the first phase of the exhibition, and then decide whether to change the number of theaters in the future depending on the situation after the painting, what do you think!? ”

"Very good, no problem on our side!" Qi Lei replied seriously.

“good…… Then the next step is to negotiate the salary! This time, it is still the same as the last cooperation, and the dividends are based on the total box office. This is the contract, please take a look! After speaking, Jack instructed the accompanying lawyer to take out the paper folder containing the contract from the briefcase and hand it to Qi Lei and the two to read.

After a period of silence, Qi Lei frowned a little: "I said Jack, you guys are too dark!" Although we are working together for the second time, this condition is also a little darker, right!? You even want to take 80% of the dividend??? That's not going to work! You must know that our cooperation this time is not like the last time, but I spent a lot of money and effort to make this movie! …… It's too chilling for me to say this! ”

"Huh...... This is easy to say, discuss~~ There is a business to have, right? My dear friend. Jack smiled awkwardly, but he had already greeted the guy in the company who had made this plan n times in his back. Then he said: "In this way, let's revise it, and finally the total box office dividends are my 7 and you 3, how about it?" ”

"nononono~~~ fifty-fifty points, this is my bottom line! You know you're only in charge of the post-screening, and behind me is the entire production team of this film! Honestly, man, it's not easy for me to wow~~" Qi Lei made a miserable look, looking like there are as many profiteers as there are profiteers.

"Then I'll drop it by half?"

“nonono! Five-five, only five-five! ”

"Six or four points, this is already my bottom line!"

“nonono!!! Five-five, only five-five! ”

"This ...... Well, my dear friend. I'll think about it and give the company a call and I'll get back to you! ”

"Please ......"

After a while, Jack came back and sat down and said with a face full of pain: "Alas~ I have to say that this guy Qi is an out-and-out profiteer!" …… After my communication with the company, the company decided to buy the European and American rights of your film with 58% of the total dividends. How? I've done my best to get you, man, how can you thank me!? ”…,

"Do you want to make a promise!" Qi Lei casually burst out of the sentence disgustingly.

As soon as the words "Ah......" came out, the three people present were immediately frightened, jumped up and flashed a few steps, as if they had seen a ghost.

Even the agent Ah Wang was very shocked by this, and his eyes were as wide as cowbells and looked at Qi Lei incredulously.

"Hey...... It's a slip of the tongue, it's a slip of the tongue. Said so, but Qi Lei thought very spoofed in his heart: Sample, I can't fix you yet. What to say is seriously considered! …… It's not a bottom line that has been set a long time ago, bullying me for not understanding business, right? You might even make money at this price! Hum......

Indeed, as Qi Lei guessed. In fact, the bottom line of MGM's purchase this time is 48%, which is 10% lower than the real purchase price.

Although Qi Lei probably knows such a thing, he adheres to the rule of "suffering more losses in the early stage and digging gold back in the later stage", and he doesn't want this 10% price difference.

After all, I can't tell if MGM, which has already cooperated with me when I came to the United States that day to develop, will be a good ally for me!

Yes, only how much, such a vague word is appropriate. After all, God knows how much MGM will have to help himself when the time comes!?

In addition, the Americans are also a master who never suffers, and in business, Qi Lei does not dare to relax a little bit for anyone!

ps: In the past few days, there have been thundershowers in the south where the clouds are located, and every time there is an empty code book on the clouds, the sky is still thundering or something, which makes the cloud afraid to turn on the machine.

So yesterday's third watch, I had to become today's first watch!~ I'm sorry, oh, everyone^^^^

But even so, the cloud will still work hard, ask for support on the cloud, wow!!
