Chapter 392: Douglas's Visit (2)
Hearing Douglas's pretended unintentional inquiry, Luo Yang's heart moved, and this Mr. Douglas spared a lot of circles, and finally said his purpose, it turned out that he had paid attention to his new work.
In fact, Luo Yang's song "It-smylife" will have such a powerful miracle-like effect, in addition to the song itself is really good, in fact, the real credit is due to Luo Yang's use of the skill of "Crazy Temptation" when recording this song, and Luo Yang wanted to experiment with whether the skill of "Crazy Temptation" can still produce effects after recording.
As a result, this experiment was very successful, although the effect of this skill was almost reduced to a minimum after recording, and it was almost not worth mentioning compared to the impact caused by Luo Yang's personal use of this skill on the spot, but it did have an effect, otherwise this song would not have been evaluated as having a magical power, which made people linger and spread quickly.
And this shiyan's success has also opened up new ideas for Luo Yang, at least in the future, Luo Yang wants to create the same miracle as the single "It-smylife", and it is not a difficult thing, at most, because of the shortcomings of "crazy temptation" that consumes huge physical strength, it is just a few more days of recording.
But this does not mean that Luo Yang must cooperate with this Mr. Douglas, although Luo Yang has gained a good harvest this time, but compared with NBC's wireless music website, it is much worse, if you really want to continue to cooperate, the previous conditions are absolutely unacceptable.
Thinking of this, Luo Yang is ready to refuse first, there are some things that are easy to get, so they will not be valued by others, and it is actually a good thing to hang the other party's appetite, at least now except for Luo Yang who has the system, no one else has it, exclusive business, and the price can be shouted casually.
But just before Luo Yang was about to refuse, he suddenly had a thought in his mind, and when the words came to his lips, he changed the topic again:
"Mr. Douglas, thank you for your attention, I am honored, I also feel very happy to work with NBC, but in recent months, because I am busy with other things, I don't have time to focus on music creation, if Mr. Douglas wants to continue to work together in this area, then only in the future will have a chance, of course, I have another proposal now, I wonder if Mr. Douglas is interested"?
"Oh, what offer"?
Douglaston was a little disappointed when he heard that Luo Yang didn't have time to compose music in recent months, so there were no new works to work with him, but he didn't show it, and Luo Yang's so-called proposal did attract his interest, so he asked.
"In recent months, I have directed a film called "Shijie Doomsday", which is about to be completed and will be released publicly at the end of the year in China, I wonder if Mr. Douglas would like to cooperate with our Poplar Film and Television Company on this film"?
Luo Yang began to take the opportunity to sell his new work "Shijie Doomsday" to Douglas, after all, this movie Luo Yang hopes to be available globally, but Poplar Film and Television Company really has no distribution channels abroad, if you go to those movie theater chains in country M to discuss cooperation without authorization, not only will you suffer a big loss on the contract, but also maybe the number of screenings allocated is not very good, after all, Chinese films are weak, it is the current trend, and all movie theater chains in country M are not interested in Chinese movies.
In fact, in recent years, the movies exported by China to country M have basically lost money, just to gain fame.
Of course, Luo Yang doesn't want to spend a lot of money to shoot the movie "The End of Shijie" in country M to encounter Waterloo, so he has been worrying about this problem recently, but Douglas's sudden visit made Luo Yang's heart move, you must know that Douglas is one of the executive directors of NBC TV in M country, if this movie can cooperate with a behemoth like NBC TV, then it is still very good for Luo Yang's new movie.
"New movie? "Shijie Doomsday"?
When Douglas heard what Luo Yang said, he suddenly felt a little lacking in interest, NBC TV does have a film company and a movie theater line, but in fact, this company and this movie theater line have been mixed to the point where they can't live in country M, the main reason is that NBC TV is really not good at movies, there is also a lack of good film support, if nothing else, in a short time, NBC TV will sell its film companies and movie theater lines in a package, Concentrate on TV dramas and wireless music.
So after Douglas heard Luo Yang's proposal, he didn't show any interest, and said directly to Luo Yang: "Dear Yang, I'm sorry, we do have a film company and a movie theater chain under NBC, but because of poor management, we are currently in a state of loss and are preparing to find a buyer to sell, so we don't have any chance of cooperation"!
"Of course, if you are willing, I can help you introduce some people in this area, and you can talk about it yourself!"
Although Douglas was not very interested in Luo Yang's proposal, he still did not completely refuse, because he was ready to make friends with Luo Yang so that it was possible to continue to cooperate in the future, so Douglas made a suggestion to help Luo Yang introduce some people in this area through his influence and connections.
Luo Yang's eyes lit up suddenly, of course, it was not because of what Douglas said could help him introduce people to him, what made Luo Yang's eyes light up was Douglas's sentence, NBC has a film company and a movie theater chain ready to sell.
"Mr. Douglas, may I ask how many movie theaters there are in your film company and in your cinema chain?"
Luo Yang's heart moved, and he immediately asked Douglas his own questions.
"The scale of our NBC film company can only be regarded as medium, but the departments and staff are complete, and our cinema line has a total of 21 cinemas, distributed in various cities in country M, but because in recent years, the company has no haode film birth, so the business situation has been in the loss, all rely on the TV station to keep sticking money, so far, the group is ready to get rid of this burden, because in the M country film industry several King Kong surrounded, The group really doesn't see any prospects in this industry"!
Douglas didn't hide it, he told the truth, but there is nothing to hide, these things, as long as you have the heart and ask a little in the industry, you can know that the news that NBC is ready to sell the film company and theater chain has not come out yet, it is because NBC is worried that its peers will know that NBC is eager to make a move and suppress prices, and the reason why he told Luo Yang is because Douglas feels that Luo Yang is just an outsider, and it is nothing to tell Luo Yang.
"Dear Yang, I don't know why you're asking this"?
Douglas asked Luo Yang with some doubts, and then said a little jokingly: "Do you want to buy this film company and movie theater chain under our NBC, if you really have this idea, with our friendship, we NBC can give you a discount!"
"Mr. Douglas, I'm sorry, I really have this idea, I don't know how much NBC is going to sell its film companies and theaters"?
Hearing Douglas's joke, Luo Yang didn't smile, but looked at Douglas seriously and asked slowly.
"What are you kidding? Dear Yang, are you sure you're not telling jokes"?
When Douglas heard Luo Yang's words, he almost squirted out the water in his mouth, put down the water glass in his hand, Douglas looked at Luo Yang's expression carefully, and saw that Luo Yang didn't look like a joke at all, so he also put away his smile and said seriously: "Yang, although our NBC's film company and theater chain are not big, but they are not a small amount that can be acquired, at least billions of M dollars are it possible, are you sure you still want to continue this proposal"?
Douglas didn't shout at this price, not to mention anything else, just the land occupied by the 21 movie theaters is at least worth more than one billion M yuan, not to mention other facilities and film companies, billions of M dollars are just enough starting chips to participate in this game, Douglas does not doubt Luo Yang's sincerity now, but doubts whether Luo Yang can come up with so much money.
"Billions of dollars is really not a small number, but I think there will still be a way"?
When Luo Yang heard this huge amount of money, his brows furrowed slightly, but he did not hesitate, but said firmly, just kidding, it is easy to buy a film company in country M, but if you want to buy a movie theater line, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky, if those film giants in China know about this opportunity, it is estimated that they will fight for the head, money is not a problem, this opportunity is the rarest, next time I want to encounter this situation again, I don't know what year and month it is.
"Ugh"!
Hearing Luo Yang's affirmative words, Douglas's heart moved, if he could really sell NBC's cinema chain to Luo Yang, then at least he was worried about being suppressed by his domestic counterparts, but Douglas suddenly thought of a law, and immediately frowned, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Dear Yang, I want to sell my film company and cinema chain to you, but we have a law in China, in order to prevent cultural invasion, so domestic cinema chains and other industries are not only not allowed to be established by foreign businessmen, It is also forbidden to sell to foreign businessmen, if it weren't for this, we at NBC would have sold it a long time ago, so why delay the sale for fear of being lowered by peers"?
"And this law"?
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, a little dazed, this law suddenly made Luo Yang's thoughts completely broken, no wonder it is so difficult for China to release movies to country M, it turns out that it is because of this law, otherwise according to the strength of those domestic giants, it is not very difficult to establish a cinema chain in country M.
But is that okay? Luo Yang's expression darkened for a moment, then lit up again, and an idea came to his heart: "Mr. Douglas, I don't know if this will work, you see me looking for an agent"!
"Dear Yang, I understand what you mean, do you want to say that you will find an agent in country M, buy it in his name, and you will be the boss behind the scenes"? Before Douglas could hear what Luo Yang had finished, he stopped Luo Yang from continuing, and opened his mouth casually to understand Luo Yang's thoughts thoroughly.
"Indeed it is"!
Luo Yang didn't hide it, and nodded truthfully.
"I advise you to give up this idea, if you don't want to lose billions of funds, you have to think about it, what if the agent you elected does not admit it, according to the domestic laws of country M, even if you tell the truth, do you think the laws of country M will make decisions for you?"
Douglas directly broke Luo Yang's idea.
Luo Yang's expression changed suddenly, and he realized that he really hadn't thought about this aspect of the matter clearly, but fortunately, Douglas reminded him, otherwise he might lose a huge amount of money if his mind was hot, so Luo Yang said to Douglas with some gratitude: "Thank you for reminding, Mr. Douglas"!
