"You have to learn to take a long-term view!"

Lao Geer sneered, "From Chu Shi's request, it can be seen that Chu Shi's goal is the market for American dramas in China, South Korea, and Japan, or more precisely, the Chinese market!" The Korean and Japanese markets are nothing but incidental! After all, compared with the European and American markets, it is not impossible for Huaxia's TV dramas to impact the Korean and Japanese markets, so Chu Shi's real purpose is to develop his entertainment company in Huaxia! ”

"This is natural, although Chu Shi has the identity of a screenwriter and actor, compared to the identity of the owner of an entertainment company, these have to stand aside, in other words, anyone will focus on developing their own entertainment company, and it is such a profitable company, but what does this have to do with our cooperation this time?"

"Chu Shi's ultimate goal is to develop his entertainment company in Huaxia, and he wants to enter the American drama market, which is the same purpose, if he wants to make his entertainment company become the top in a short period of time, he can only rely on American dramas, but the problem is that as a Chinese person, it is almost impossible to gain a firm foothold in the American drama circle alone!"

"Got it!"

Old Fran's eyes lit up, and he understood what his old partner meant, "For his own entertainment company, Chu Shi will continue to shoot American dramas in the future, write excellent scripts, and introduce them to Huaxia, and he himself does not have his own power in the United States, so he naturally wants to choose a top TV drama production company that can cooperate for a long time, which is why Chu Shi chose to send the script to our three companies - strength." We are not the strongest, but word of mouth and strength are combined. We are definitely one of the top TV series companies in the industry! ”

"With Chu Shi's screenwriting level, if you can cooperate with us. It can definitely make us stronger! Although Chu Shi is still a little immature compared to you, Lao Geer, it is not difficult to see from this script that no one in our entire company except you can surpass Chu Shi in the level of screenwriters, and having Chu Shi's script is of great significance to our entire company! ”

Old Geer nodded slightly, "For our company." It is definitely a great joy to have Chu Shi, a top screenwriter, and on the other hand, although all the income of Huaxia belongs to Chu Shi, it seems that we have nothing to gain, but our American drama can enter the Chinese market, which will invisibly benefit our company itself, and it is also a sure thing! ”

As two of SCL Entertainment's top decision-makers, Fran and Gehr are confident in their own strength. They are also full of confidence in the company, and it is precisely for this reason that when SCL was officially listed many years ago, the two used all their wealth. In exchange for part of the shares of SCL, it seems that the two are also real shareholders of the company. The better the company grows, the better it will be for both of them! And if it's because of the decision of the two of them. If the company rises again, the status and power of the two of them within the company. It will also be improved again, all in all, definitely a lot of benefits!

"That'...... So decided? ”

The two discussed everything they could think of again, and after feeling that there was nothing negligent, Old Fran said, "You go and raise this matter with the president and chairman, and I will contact Chu Shi now, and strive to take this script over before the other two companies!" Now, the other two companies know that they are competitors to each other, they are all wary of each other, no one has taken the lead, and they don't know that our side has also received a contract from Chu Shi, and we do our best to act, which is also quite beneficial to us! ”

"Yes! Then I'll go to the president and explain this matter now! ”

Old Geer nodded, and he also had the character of doing what he said, he got up directly and walked out with Old Fran, and walked to the door of the office, one turned to go upstairs, and the other turned to go downstairs, but many screenwriters in the screenwriting department who were guarding the gate were left aside, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

After that, Lao Geer was the first to arrive at the president's office and told the president the original idea of himself and old Fran.

If you just narrate such a thing and ask the president to decide, like the other two entertainment companies, it will take at least two to three months to study before you can complete all the work, and there is no time at all.

But Old Fran and Old Gehr used the opportunity they only had once a year!

This opportunity is very precious! They can use this opportunity to take on some private work, or even sell the company's interests and enrich their own pockets, as long as the investment is not particularly huge, they will also agree to it, of course, the two of them disdain to do such things, but even if they go through normal channels, such an opportunity can also bring quite rich benefits to the two of them every year.

And usually, if there are no special circumstances, the two of them will choose to save this opportunity for the end of each year, after all, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents during the whole year.

But this time, for the sake of Chu Shi, the two of them chose to use such an opportunity in the beginning and February of 2010, which really surprised the president!

At the beginning, the president refused in his heart, after all, the investment of more than 300 million US dollars, he would hesitate to change to any entertainment company, not to mention that Chu Shi also put forward several quite unreasonable requirements, but Lao Geer and Lao Fran jointly used their own credibility and prestige to guarantee that even if they agreed to all Chu Shi's requests, the filming plan of this TV series would be profitable for the company, and in the end, the president and the chairman of the board of directors, who were long overdue, agreed to the mention of Lao Fran and Lao Geer.

It's just that in the end, the president of SCL didn't completely adopt one of Old Fran and Old Geer!

The idea of the old Fran and the others was to let the SCL company directly contact Chu Shi, and when the other two companies had not yet reacted, they directly reached an agreement with Chu Shi and made a fortune.

But the president of SCL thinks so. Since this TV series has to find a company to work with, it is completely possible at this stage. Look straight for a company! And the object of cooperation is obviously because of the other two companies that Chu Shi's script is fighting!

A total of three collaborators. Two of the parties have been determined, and then go to find Chu Shi, just wait for Chu Shi to agree, and the three parties will discuss the specific shares and interests properly, and they can directly sign the contract!

And with the strength of the two companies, the preliminary preparation work is absolutely easy, plus the screenwriters and directors of the two companies are very optimistic about this TV series, and presumably the team problem will be very simple to solve - of course. The competition between the two companies for the director's position is not counted, so wouldn't it be better for the two companies to get together and discuss it then?

Although it has been delayed here for a while, it is definitely worth the time delay!

Just two days later, SCL successfully reached an agreement with AMC Entertainment, which has always had a good relationship and has many cooperation projects, to jointly invest in this super-cost TV series with an investment of at least 300 million US dollars!

To this end, the two companies have set up a special team, led by Old Fran, who is responsible for the negotiation, preparation, casting, and filming of this TV series!

The first task. It was a communication with Chu Shi on the phone.

"SCL Entertainment vs. AMC Entertainment?"

Returning to the study, listening to the voice coming from the other end of the phone, a strange look flashed on Chu Shi's face.

In any case, Chu Shi didn't expect things to progress so quickly!

I thought. After two or three months of lengthy discussions, the three entertainment companies will contact themselves one by one, and then choose one of them to cooperate with. After that, the company went on to find another entertainment company to work with. Finally, the preliminary preparations for the TV series.

Unexpectedly, SCL Entertainment and AMC Entertainment reached a direct agreement. If we find ourselves together, we can at least reduce the process of finding a collaborator again, saving time and effort.

The moment he learned about the other party's situation, Chu Shi had a plan in his heart, as long as the other party's conditions were not too excessive, he would cooperate with them!

For Chu Shi, wealth is not important, because he can obtain it very lightly; Opportunities are also not important, because Chu Shi can create one opportunity after another anytime and anywhere, and what Chu Shi really cares about is time! And the advantages of these two companies are precisely here.

"First of all, I need to know what your company's current thoughts are on the several conditions I put forward in the email, after all, I am now in China, if I can't know your company's general idea, it is impossible to go to the United States for a negotiation with a low success rate, please Haihan."

"This is natural, after all, Mr. Chu's work in Huaxia is also very busy, and if there is no definite conclusion, we will not bother."

The person who was in charge of communicating with Chu Shi this time was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who inferred from his voice, his voice was very soft, and he gave the answer that Chu Shi wanted, "First of all, it is the issue of exchanging scripts for shares, which our SCL company and AMC company have reached an agreement, although this kind of treatment is only available to top screenwriters in the United States, but after all, the quality of your script is extremely high, and your own screenwriting level is also quite high, it is only a matter of time before you get such treatment, this time, This can also be done for you! We are currently asking the most professional team to conduct an appraisal and finally directly invest in the TV series at the appraisal price, but the exact number will need to be negotiated in person. ”

"Secondly, it is proposed by Mr. Chu Shi, who intends to invest 50 million to 80 million US dollars in this TV series and convert it into shares, which is also no problem, and can be converted according to the normal investment process, I don't think I need to explain this in detail for Mr. Chu, right?"

"No, what about the rest?"

Chu Shi nodded with satisfaction, for these, Chu Shi also understands! When Chu Shi, SCL and AMC officially prepare for the filming of this TV series, the three parties will calculate the converted value of the script, the capital investment and the investment of resources including production and distribution, and conduct an overall evaluation, so that the shares will be distributed fairly, justly and uniformly!

As a Chinese who has no roots in the United States, I was able to just start. cooperated fairly with SCL and AMC, the two behemoths in the American drama circle, and was not squeezed. Chu Shi can already be said to be very satisfied, but among the four requirements, Chu Shi cares about the most. Not these two things!

There is no shortage of money in Chu Shi, and Chu Shi is more concerned about the huge market of Huaxia, which has not yet been developed!

"The introduction of a super-large TV series with millions of dollars per episode, even if it is an American drama rather than a domestic drama, will cause a huge sensation in the circle, and I will be the first person to eat this cake, and wealth gains are still the second and most important. Or give priority to occupy the market! I just don't know what the attitude of these two companies is. ”

"The third question is raised by Mr. Chu Shi, asking to play the role of an Asian teenager in the TV series, and after the joint judgment of the top directors and screenwriters of our two companies, your personal acting skills are enough to play this role, so ...... This role is yours! ”

Chu Shi nodded, this role is very precious, but in Chu Shi's eyes, it is not the most important. "Then the last requirement, I want to own all the rights and interests of this TV series in China, South Korea, and Japan, what kind of attitude does your company have?"

In Chu Shi's view, the most important requirement is in the eyes of SCL and AMC, two top entertainment companies. On the contrary, it is the most able to agree lightly, "There is no problem in this regard, although American dramas have a considerable audience across the country." In terms of income, it mainly relies on Europe and the United States, followed by Asian countries. Even in the eyes of SCL and AMC, the markets in Japan and South Korea are not too large. And the Huaxia market has never been cultivated American drama soil, and it is naturally no problem to transfer it to Mr. Chu, and after the discussion of the senior management of our two companies, it was finally decided that in order to show the sincerity of our two companies, the rights and interests of these three countries can be calculated at a relatively low price, and finally deduct the shares allocated by Mr. Chu, which is ...... Mr. Chu has no opinion, right? ”

When he said this, the other party's heart was constantly complaining, although the two companies jointly elected the employee to contact Chu Shi, but in fact, this person was an employee of the SCL company.

He knew very well that from the very beginning, only their SCL company took a fancy to Chu Shi, and looked forward to Chu Shi being able to continue to cooperate with them in the future, but no one thought that in the process of negotiation between the two companies, AMC Company suddenly opened up, and also thought of this problem, and finally made a decision that in order to befriend Chu Shi, he could give Chu Shi a relatively good discount in the evaluation of Japan, South Korea, and China.

I have to say that Chu Shi is really lucky! However, this luck also benefits from Chu Shi's extraordinary strength and value.

"Whew!"

Listening to the other party's assurance, Chu Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Chu Shi had a lot of cash in his hands, he would obviously be more dissatisfied with this decision, and he would not want to use his shares to win the markets of these three countries, and would prefer to buy it with cash.

However, today's Chu Shi, on the premise of not affecting the normal operation of Dimension Entertainment Company and Ice World Entertainment Company, can use 50 million to 80 million US dollars, and is ready to invest all of it in this TV series in exchange for some shares, and then there will be no liquidity in hand, let alone buying the Three Kingdoms market with cash.

Using the shares in his hand to deduct the appraisal price of the three kingdom markets is indeed a very good thing for Chu Shi today, and after a little hesitation, Chu Shi agreed.

"Although the other three conditions have not been carefully negotiated except for the role of an Asian teenager in the TV series, I have fully experienced the sincerity of SCL and AMC, I don't know when your company plans to negotiate with me in detail?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better!"

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone was obviously prepared, and said directly, "At present, the two companies have reached an agreement, this TV series will have SCL Company, AMC Company and Mr. Chu Shi, you, the three parties will jointly invest, and these two companies will jointly produce zuò, and even the funds of the two companies have been prepared and can be invested in it at any time, at the same time, in terms of production team, logistics, props, etc., the two companies have also begun to make zuò!" ”

"Although it is impossible to complete it quickly, if Mr. Chu can arrive in the United States in these two days and complete the contract signing work as soon as possible...... We can assure you that the TV series will officially start filming in a month's time, and after two months, it will basically be officially broadcast on TV, even if there is a slight delay, it will never be too late. ”

"So fast?"

Rao is Chu Shi, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he started official filming within a month after signing the contract, and it could be officially broadcast two months later, which was nearly twice as fast as his own dimensional entertainment company, which was terrifying!

"Huh."

The middle-aged man chuckled, and did not hide his pride in the entertainment company he belonged to, "Whether it is SCL or AMC, it can be said that it is one of the strongest TV drama production companies in the United States. As long as Mr. Chu arrives as much as possible, we will definitely not disappoint you! ”

"Good!"

Chu Shi laughed, although he was a little displeased with the other party's proud tone, but he couldn't deny that such an efficient working mode was indeed worth learning, and it was also very beneficial to Chu Shi, "I will arrive in the United States within two days, complete the contract signing with your company as much as possible, and at the same time, I will also learn the working methods of large American companies." ”

"On behalf of SCL and AMC Entertainment, I look forward to Mr. Chu's arrival." (To be continued......)
