Chapter 422: $100 million contract (2)

Time passed very quickly, and a morning passed quickly.

There were a few disputes, but they were all resolved perfectly.

100 million yuan, about one-third of the publicity cost of a general film, and a total investment of 120 million yuan for the painting skin, the publicity cost is as high as more than 30 million yuan.

Li Qiangrose almost didn't speak, but her gaze was firmly on every key point.

Everyone cheered up 120,000 points, and Qin Xin's hands never stopped recording, so that during lunch, he couldn't lift his hands.

"In order to relax the spirit, the afternoon is to carry out some non-contractual treaties." Before lunch, Li Qiangrose took out another stack of contracts, "Everyone, Time Warner is an investor, so naturally it needs some positions to supervise, no problem, right?" ”

Lin Xiao did not object, this is the unspoken rule of the industry, and no one can oppose it.

Even if Zhang Yimou is a hero, there is James staring inside, he is a first-time trinity, how can Time Warner rest assured?

"First, let's talk about the art director."

Lin Xiao didn't speak, art director, it is a fictitious position, and it can also be said to be a very powerful position. If the director is strong, the art director is hollowed out. He is responsible for the stylistic direction of a film, the color tone, and even the choice of shooting location.

In the same way, the clapper still needs a director.

However, there is a very important right to this position! That is, before any film is released, it needs to be signed by the art director, and if the art director does not sign, the film cannot be released.

In his memory, in later generations, Li Baotian had an incident of refusing to sign and blackmail the crew.

"I recommend Mr. Vonkicarlo from Time Warner." Li Qiangrose smiled and nodded at Mai Zhuang, "Mr. Feng Chi Carlo, graduated from the California Film School in the United States, and has participated in the production of Jurassic Park and Warner's blockbuster The Matrix, both as deputy artistic directors. Very ...... for filmmaking"

"Wait a minute." McSolidity suddenly spoke, "Why did you send Mr. Vonkicarlo?" As far as I know, Time Warner still has several official art directors. Although the investment in this film is not very high, its significance lies in breaking into a huge market of 1.3 billion people. Ms. Camuel, I cannot understand what you have done in recommending Mr. von Kikallo. ”

"MR. WHEAT." Li Qiang's face was very well maintained, and a smile of "I knew you would ask that" appeared on her face, "Although Mr. Vonkikallo has always been the deputy director of the arts, his level cannot be ignored, and all he lacks is an opportunity." I think it's a good opportunity and I believe in his ability. ”

"Ability is not something that comes from believing, but something that comes from doing." Mai Jianjian said lightly, "Moreover, is it because he is really capable enough, or is it because he is a die-hard supporter of yours all along?" ”

In the room, the temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

Lin Xiao keenly caught that the three people sitting on the sofa on the left and the three people sitting on the sofa on the right raised their eyelids slightly, and the six eyes seemed to be staggered in mid-air.

Factional Wars!

The word immediately crossed his mind. Quietly look at everything in front of you.

"Mr. Lin, I'm afraid these foreign devils are tired." Mo Tianshan was behind Lin Xiao, lowered his head and said quietly.

"It's okay." Lin Xiao replied in a deep voice, "The United States far surpasses China in the maturity of blockbuster production, and they will definitely exploit the loopholes in the law, especially the Ministry of Film and Television has issued a number of new regulations for accession to the WTO in 02, how can they hold it?" ”

"However, it is better to have a fight, and I am most afraid of them being a bucket. In this way, there will be no heart on the skin. ”

"Wait and see."

As for why this happened, he also guessed eight or nine.

Very simply, if a company achieves the position of a global giant crocodile, it will naturally have different voices. Some advocate focusing on the U.S. market, while others advocate focusing on overseas markets, like conservatives and radicals.

It seems that Camuel and McSolid are not from the same faction. He looked coldly at everything in front of him. Kamuel is supposed to be a radical, while McSolidity is a conservative, so naturally he doesn't want to let Kamuel get his wish, or at least make her feel uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter which camp he belongs to, it's just his ability." Li Qiang's face did not change, and her heart did not beat.

"Ability? I think Time Warner has more people than Fonti Carlo. ”

"Mr. Mak." Li Qiangrose took a deep breath, and her tone turned cold, "Don't forget, you are the president of the Hong Kong area, and you are just here to be a notary, and you have no right to question." Unless there is an obvious suspicion in the contract. You're deliberately making things difficult, and if you continue like this, I can complain to Warner headquarters. ”

Mai Jiancheng "tsk", this is really not a suspicious point, at most it is to arrange his own manpower, if the painting skin is good at the box office in the end, it is the chicken dog ascending to heaven.

He finds it strange that this is based on "if it's good", then what about bad? It will definitely be criticized by the company.

"She has so much confidence in this film?"

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Li Qiangrose turned to Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "According to the agreement, we have two main positions to choose from. You can rest assured that Mr. Vonkikallo is only a suggestion and will never make a decision. ”

Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

It stands to reason that after the contract was negotiated, Warner and Daybreak were tied to the same boat, and if Vonkicarlo did not sign and the painting could not be issued, Warner guaranteed to be 10,000 times more urgent than him.

However, he still didn't nod immediately, but asked Mo Tianshan and Meng Xin, "What do you see?" ”

The two also didn't speak immediately, but thought for a while, and then Meng Xin said in a deep voice, "As long as Warner is not afraid of losing fifteen million and not pressing, it will be feasible." ”

"I think it's okay too. If the art director wants gray income, it must be based on the condition that the art director and the investment are separated. But now that the art director and the investor are the same party, it's impossible for them not to sign off. ”

The first time I made a film with a foreign devil, everyone was very cautious.

"Mr. Lin?" Li Qiangrose's smiling voice sounded again.

"No problem." Lin Xiao finally nodded.

"Very well, Mr. Funkikallo. I hope you have a good time working with Mr. Lin's crew. Li Qiangrose smiled and made a gesture of please, and a tall, thin, expressionless bald man stood up and nodded to Lin Xiao as a greeting.

After talking about this, everyone felt exhausted.

And the contract has only turned over a dozen or so.

"That's it for the afternoon, right? We have prepared a luscious afternoon tea for you, please move to the top garden. Li Qiangrose smiled and walked out first.

As soon as she stepped out of the hall, she restrained her smile and stared at the room with frost on her face.

"What a nuisance fly." She took a sip and instead of going to the roof, she came to a spare room.

In less than ten minutes, the second person to come in was the expressionless Vonkicarlo.

"This is the best chiffon cake in Beijing. Don't you want to taste it? As soon as he walked in, he saw Li Qiang Rose sitting by the window, letting the sun shine on him.

"Oh, no cake is as good as you, Lady Camur, my goddess." A smile finally appeared on Feng Chi Carlo's rigid face, and he stepped forward gently, gently shook Li Qiangrose's hand, and gave a kiss to the hand.

"You did this very elegantly." Li Qiangrose smiled faintly and pointed to the chair, "Do you have confidence in this film?" ”

"Of course." Vonkikalo laughed, "It's not that difficult, and I don't need to do anything, do I?" ”

"What doesn't need to be done? You're wrong. Li Qiangrose took a bite of the cake, picked up a white handkerchief and wiped her mouth with great grace, "You have to do, a lot." ”

"First of all, you have to recognize that this is a film with potential. Maybe we don't understand, but don't forget, it's a good review at headquarters. Otherwise, they can get an investment of 100 million? ”

"Second, the comments given by the headquarters are that the characters are fully portrayed, the plot is compact, and it is worth the investment. However, don't forget that this is still a film that awakens the sleeping culture, and the European and American markets may not be able to understand it. However, the Asian market may have a big impact. ”

"A good subject matter, coupled with vivid and plump character portrayals, has a huge potential market. I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't work out. Of course, the only reason is that the director is too bad. That's what I'm worried about, so I'll have to send a strong assistant director. ”

"And if this film is a hit, you will definitely be promoted to the official art director. So, you don't just have to do a lot. What's more important is to assist Lin Xiao to shoot perfectly, so that you can add more weight to us in the pioneer school. ”

"Do I have any reason for refusing Ms. Camue's request?" Feng Ji Carlo took Li Qiang's snow-white hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no matter what you ask me to do, I will not shirk it." ”

"Anything?" There was something different hidden in Li Qiang's smile.

"Any!"

"Then ......" Li Qiangrose approached him with a smile, and just when he was pleasantly surprised that the other party was going to kiss down, he heard a very light sentence from the other party.

Then, a snake-like tongue licked his ear.

He stood up like an electric shock, and stared at Li Rose with a sharp glare.

"Card ...... Miss Camuel......"

"Wouldn't you like to do me a little help?"

"No...... It's not a hassle, but I can't figure out why you'd do it! Neither you nor Time Warner will do this any good! ”

Li Qiangrose sighed, "China, this newly opened market, is like a freshly baked cake. So delicious, so sweet. That sweet, creamy smell simply addicted me. ”

"Such a big piece of cake, but not enough for so many people."

"Idiot, you're not qualified to eat." Li Qiang rose snuggled into Feng Kicarlo's arms, and her voice was like a snake spitting letters, both tempting and full of sin, "All you have to do is shut up the fool." Recognizing the gap between the two countries' markets, is it wrong that this is more convenient for us to control the crew? ”

"Wrong is right......"

"Could it be that the roses you usually send are actually only white?" Li Rose smiled and poked him in the chest.

"Oh my God......"
