Sun Ziming thought for a while, stretched out his hand to fill the wine glass for Mr. Nobuyuki, and said with a smile: "This is very difficult, a few words of classical poetry can express the artistic conception, and if you want to convert it into modern language, it is a long string." ”

Miho Nakayama next to him translated, and the Japanese also sighed. In the same amount of time, Japanese can express much less meaning than Chinese, so they can only work on the melody. This is also the main reason why Hong Kong likes to cover Japanese songs, because the melodies of Japanese songs are so good.

"However, I also thought of a way, but I don't know if the effect of the road is good."

Nobuyuki's eyes are shining, and if this problem can be solved, it will also have a positive effect on Japanese music. Toho Co., Ltd. not only has movies, but also TV dramas, record labels, and so on.

Sun Ziming shook his head slowly and said, "It won't work, the cost is too high!" ”

When it comes to the cost, Shinyuki also guessed Sun Ziming's method, which must be to make the song on MTV. is only a three- or four-minute shot, and to fully express the artistic conception of classical poetry, the skills of directors and screenwriters are no less than those of movies. Such directors, screenwriters, and photographers are invited to shoot MTV, and they are destined to be only appreciated by a small number of people, and such a high cost is unacceptable for record companies.

The banquet was already over, the guests and hosts dispersed happily, and Sun Ziming and Uncle Zeng sent Mr. Shinzhi and his party home.

……

Shin'ichi and the group returned to the Peninsula Hotel, and Uei followed Shinyuki into his room with two of his entourage.

"Uei-kun, what do you see for today's dinner?"

"Vice President, Sun Ziming has more temperament as a businessman than a literati, and in everything he does, he first considers commercial profits rather than artistic effects. In my opinion, Light and Shadow Company will be a typical commercial film company in the future, and will not be keen on making literary films. ”

Nobuyuki nodded, a musical talent, it is not easy to give up a higher artistic effect. If we had made up our minds earlier, and when the negotiations with Yinduji broke down, we would no longer invite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do high-level work, and would have directly negotiated with the Light and Shadow Company, perhaps we would have been able to obtain better conditions. Now, as soon as "Home Alone 1" is successful in Japan, its sequel has become a box office guarantee, and Toho's chips are less than half.

"You have the most contact with the light and shadow company, talk about your ideas."

"Hey."

Uei spread out a box office statistics table of films released by Light and Shadow Company, showing a comparison of the Japanese box office with the box office of other regions.

"Vice President, I think it's most feasible to invest in their films. Sun Tzuming has already said that it is impossible for us to hold shares, so we can only use the Japanese market as a bargaining chip to share their profits. ”

Nobuyuki nodded, this is also the bottom line he discussed with the president, but this ratio is not easy to grasp.

"Vice President, our box office share is already 8% higher than that of other regions. Tomorrow they will negotiate, and they will definitely make a fuss about it. Sun Ziming has already set up a branch in the United States, and if we don't give in a little way, they can sell the film to us through the American branch. ”

Several people in the room nodded their heads, Japan and the United States are allies, and one side is protected by the other. According to the League Act, American films entered Japan and enjoyed national treatment.

Nobuyuki stared at Uei and pondered something else. Although this Uei has a little less experience, he has a very good vision, and the light and shadow company is a high-quality partner he has found. Someone in the distribution department reported that he privately accepted a commission from the light and shadow company, so he was so keen on distributing the light and shadow company's films.

For this reason, the president's office asked the detective agency to investigate him, and the result was that his expenses and income matched exactly, and even his lover still shared a small apartment with others. If he accepts the commission from the light and shadow company, with the commission of "Butcher on a Rainy Night" alone, he can arrange his lover well, so that the two of them will not have to go to the hotel for a date.

"You guys go out first, and I'll talk to Ukai-kun."

Several of the attendants bowed deeply, exited the room one by one, and motioned for Uei to sit down.

"Uei-kun, can you talk to me about why you don't accept the commission of light and shadow?"

Uei was so frightened that he stood up from the sofa, cold sweat on his forehead, and it took a while to realize that the other party was saying 'not accept' instead of 'accepting'. Uejing wiped a cold sweat and said stiffly: "Vice president, Zeng Xiang hinted, but I am afraid that the company will find out in the future, so I dare not ask for it." Besides, I think that as long as the work performance is excellent, even if the company does not get a reasonable salary return, there will be capital to jump to a company with better treatment. ”

Nobuyuki nodded, this group of young people born after the war could no longer be as loyal as his own generation. In addition, if the employee performance is good, the company should also give sufficient rewards.

"It's okay, I'm just curious to ask, can you get such a high box office share, and the other party can't give a commission anymore. Now tell me, what proportion should we use as the bottom line of negotiation? ”

Uei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sat back on the sofa and said respectfully, "The box office share has risen to 50%, and the investment ratio is 15-20%. ”

A cold light flashed in Shinyuki's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think?" ”

Uei pointed to the statistical table again and explained that it seems that the Japanese market contributes half of the box office to the light and shadow company, but in fact, it is not the case, because his side takes 58%, while the other party only 42%.

"Therefore, the profit we bring to the other party only accounts for about 42% of their total profit, and the risk is borne by them, and we only provide distribution channels and theaters."

Nobuyuki pondered for a while before he nodded. I and the president are used to looking down on others, and I don't notice that Light and Shadow has rapidly grown into a giant like Golden Harvest that must be faced.

"Makes sense, move on."

Uei is completely free from the fear just now, the commission is paid through a Swiss bank, and his daily expenses and salary are also completely matched, and it is impossible for the company to find out his own problems. As long as you maintain the cooperation between the two parties and work in the company for a few more years, you can quit your job and enjoy your life.

"Vice President, just now Beicun they proposed to take a stake in the Sun Tzuming family's enterprise in Chinese mainland, which I think is unacceptable to them."

"I know that can only be used as a negotiation tactic, continue."

Uei picked up his teacup, took a few sips of water to moisten his throat, and continued: "Sun Ziming admires the Hollywood system very much, and what their company is currently implementing is some practices in the late 70s in the United States. Considering that the light and shadow company is in a stage of rapid development, this approach is appropriate. ”

Nobuyuki agrees with this statement, what Umii means is that in the future, Light and Shadow will be listed, and Toho, as its partner, will definitely have a pre-emptive option.

"In this way, we can only share a part of their development dividends, and there is no way to enjoy the benefits of brand value growth."

Shin Zhi Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, patted Uei on the shoulder happily, and said with a smile: "You are responsible for this negotiation, the investment ratio shall not be less than 25%, and the box office share will remain the same." ”

Uei stood up from the couch, bowed and agreed, "Hey! ”

He is a subordinate, who can only put forward his own opinions and suggestions, and has no power to make decisions for his superiors.
