Chapter 117: Comprehensive Cooperation (II)

Li Xuechu did not lower the conditions in the end, and bit a billion and did not let go.? Unexpectedly, Ukraine eventually abandoned the acquisition.

However, this incident did not affect other negotiations between the two sides. After all, in addition to this, the two sides have other needs for each other, and it is easy to reach a consensus.

The negotiations were finally successfully completed half a month later, and Wu Gong gave up the acquisition of Oriental DreamWorks, but in terms of the film industry, the two sides reached an intention. Oriental DreamWorks can get a third of the box office, and the publicity costs are evenly shared. This condition is almost on par with Hollywood studios, except for the big-scale zuò movies of several major film giants, other films basically get 30% of the box office.

In the field of film production, Oriental DreamWorks can accept the investment quota of up to 50% of the cost of film production from Ukrainian companies, but reserve the option of cooperating with each other. It is agreed that no less than three films will be co-invested each year.

The cooperation was limited to three years, and during these three years, the two sides formed an alliance. Oriental DreamWorks' works in Europe were basically handed over to Wu for processing, and Wu Company also improved the treatment of Oriental DreamWorks' works.

After the agreement was agreed, DreamWorks' path in Europe was consolidated and broadened, and the pressure on the launch of the large-scale production was undoubtedly much lighter. The company's management even began to think of the benefits of large-scale zuò, after all, large-scale zuò is usually indispensable for special effects, and special effects companies can be completely their own, doing more and making more money. In terms of the market, there are investments from large European companies, and there is no need to worry about people not working hard, and the pressure on them is much less.

"Li, we are now an official partner, but unfortunately we can't go further, which can't but be said to be a pity." The 'human bear' has never let go of Li Xuechu's lion mouth. In his heart, he still thinks that the Ukrainian company is sincere enough. Under his efforts, the headquarters increased the price authority of Oriental DreamWorks Film Company to nearly 800 million, but it was still far from Li Xuechu's offer, and he had to give up in the end.

"It's a shame, but I'm sticking to my point." Li Xuechu was unmoved: "Maybe in two years, you will appear, my offer is very reasonable."

"I hope so, after all, now our interests are aligned."

This cooperation has a certain pressure on both parties, and if it ends up losing money, it is estimated that the two sides will not cooperate again after three years. Of course, if good results are achieved, there will be a chance that the original negotiations will be reopened.

"I'm full of confidence in our cooperation, and in two or three years, maybe you'll regret not reaching an agreement this time?"

"Hehe, if that's the case, I don't think we mind continuing to offer a higher price."

"I think you'll probably have another one more time in two or three years." Li Xuechu smiled and stretched out his hand: "I wish us a smooth cooperation, Mr. Schiller."

"I also hope to come back, Hong Kong has given me good memories. It's a pity that things can't be done perfectly at work, but no matter what, the cooperation is successful. ”

The Ukrainian company will take the initiative to seek cooperation, of course, it also has expectations. Although the final result is not satisfactory, as long as there is money to be made, the result will naturally unfold in a direction that is beneficial to both parties, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

After the agreement was negotiated, the two sides held a press conference under Li Xuechu's proposal.

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and there are not a few bad movies that have succeeded in later generations thanks to effective publicity, and there are more good movies that hit the street because the publicity is not done well. The eyeball economy has not yet come out, but the effect is already beginning to show, and advertising revenue has become the biggest source of revenue for TV stations and some newspapers.

The press conference between Oriental DreamWorks and Ukraine caused an uproar in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang already has the title of Oriental Hollywood, but the influence of Xiangjiang films is mainly in Asia, especially Southeast Asia. Out of Asia, audiences in other regions are still quite unimpressed. This cooperation shows that the strength of a Hong Kong film company has finally been officially recognized by major European businessmen, and the content of the agreement can be regarded as confirming the equal status of both parties.

The relevant media was as excited as chicken blood, and the news immediately spread all over Xiangjiang without the need for DreamWorks to publicize it, whether it was entertainment or newspapers focusing on finance, they did not let go of this news. There are also many reporters, editors, experts and scholars who also joined in the fun, analyzing the impact of this cooperation on DreamWorks and the film industry in Hong Kong, and it is extremely rare to be optimistic about the prospects of DreamWorks and the film industry, but unfortunately DreamWorks is not listed now, or it is definitely a round of stock price bullishness.

DreamWorks once again enjoyed the treatment of a star company in Xiangjiang and made a big splash among its peers.

Compared to DreamWorks, other studios are not so happy. With the first one, people inevitably began to predict who would be the next company to make a name for itself in Europe and the United States. Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Shaw Brothers have been lying down, especially Golden Harvest, which is under great pressure.

With a good start from DreamWorks, Golden Harvest, which has long intended to open the North American market, is naturally the follower that everyone expects. But Jiahe also knows that the aesthetic difference between the audience in the East and the West is large, and the other side is not satisfied. After some shouting from the media, Boss Zou is estimated to have a headache.

Xiangjiang Company really doesn't have much courage to share in Europe and the United States, and the movies that sell well in the local area are usually a mess when they are changed to Europe and the United States. Golden Harvest has also felt the pressure of sharing, but the biggest example is the best partner in New Arts City.

After the baptism of comedy such as Home Alone and Baby Stuffed Doudong, Europe also has some confidence in the comedy of the new art city, and the new art city finally began to try to get dividends in Europe, and the first is this new art city's hard work. As a result, a lot of publicity money was invested, but the result was sad, the Hong Kong version of OO7 was a mess in Europe, and the box office was far inferior to the two ghosts.

The biggest problem with the sharing plan is that it does not guarantee profits, so most Hong Kong companies still prefer to choose the buyout of drought and flood protection, not only in Europe and the United States, but also in other parts of Asia, small and medium-sized companies are mainly buyouts, and there are few companies that dare to propose a share.

On the subject of pleasing the audience at the same time between the East and the West, most of the Hong Kong companies have never found the right pulse. Now that only a few of Li Xuechu's films can find a balance, Lei Daheng and DreamWorks have sought the possibility of continuing to work together. Of course, it is obviously inappropriate to buy a script, and Xinyicheng threw an olive branch to DreamWorks for the cooperative production Zuò Home Alone 3.

This series proved to be the highest-grossing film in Xinyicheng, taking into account both the Eastern and Western markets, and Xinyicheng originally wanted to write its own script, after all, the copyright was in its own hands. But in the end, he was afraid of the box office disadvantage, and still found Li Xuechu. It can be regarded as finding a reason for future cooperation, DreamWorks' current movies have basically found Golden Harvest, and although there is no shortage of film sources for Golden Princess now, it is good to have one more high-quality film production company.

Li Xuechu actually came with a dispensable mentality for this cooperation. After all, after two films, the value of Home Alone has been almost tapped. In his opinion, in addition to setting up a signboard for Xinyicheng in advance, the biggest contribution of this series of movies is to open up the European market for Xiangjiang, and even make Gu Juji, a child star, popular. But anyway, the investment is not big, the third part is still profitable, and then I am not interested.

However, Princess Jin is obviously not to be offended, there are now five main cinemas in Xiangjiang, Anle Cinema is not small in later generations, but there are only four cinemas at present, Shuangnan Cinema is a leftist cinema line, and it is easy to be banned by Taiwan when it is released there, in addition to these two, the main ones are Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Princess Jin. The Shaw family has a lot of trouble, if he offends Princess Jin too much, then he will be tied to death on the big ship of Golden Harvest.

Although compared with Princess Jin, he is more optimistic about Golden Harvest. Although Jiahe has always been unable to suppress the opponent in Xiangjiang Jiahe, in the foreign market, Jiahe's ability is not something that the golden princess can compete. The cooperation with Golden Harvest has given me a lot of convenience. But to completely rely on the boat of Golden Harvest, it is not so beneficial to yourself, DreamWorks does not have Golden Harvest's shares, Golden Harvest is now more attractive to herself, but also afraid that she will run to the Golden Princess, if you don't have this concern, at least your own road in Xiangjiang will not be so easy to walk.
