Chapter 117: Robbery while the fire is on

Seeing that the U.S. military dispatched such a vicious weapon, the actors naturally stopped resisting and scattered one after another, but their resistance did not stop, the actors withdrew, and it was the turn of the actresses to play at this time. I saw a large number of popular actresses pretending to be village women and performing a "collective crying scene" on the spot, which is said to be of a very high level and tear-jerking.

By this time, the march strike had come to an end. Several of the organizers were taken away by the police and fired afterwards, and the management negotiated with the rest of the cast and promised to increase the pay of the cast and crew, and the matter was barely ended.

In fact, at the beginning of this incident, Dongbao didn't want to use the method of improving the treatment to resolve the dispute, but the first is that this kind of atmosphere must not be promoted, otherwise once the actors' strike is formed, the company will increase the habit of salary, and then there will be no way to manage it, and it must wait for the strike to be suppressed and the organizers are punished, and then slightly increase the treatment of other cast and crew, so as to have an effect. Another reason is because Dongbao really doesn't have much money in his hands now, and the last time he went to Hollywood to buy a movie, he spent too much, and he didn't get much income after he came back to broadcast it, so he had to cut his salary and lay off employees.

Therefore, Dongbao's promise to the cast and crew this time is only to increase the salary after the company's efficiency is better, and everyone needs to tide over the difficulties together for the time being, but everyone naturally refuses to accept such a result, but they also know that a general strike has just been launched, and several leaders have been arrested and imprisoned, and it is difficult to organize again.

But at this time, Matsuda Yoshiko came to Toho Pictures in a very high-profile manner, claiming to buy the film rights in Toho's hands, Toho discussed internally that since these films could not obtain the expected profits, it was also an acceptable way to sell them in exchange for working capital, so Matsuda Yoshiko was received by the general manager Iwata Hiromichi.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Iwata Hiromichi took the lead in getting to the point: "Team Leader Matsuda, I heard that you are very interested in this batch of film copyrights in our hands?" ”

Yoshiko Matsuda nodded: "That's right, I guess Mr. Iwata, you also know that I am cooperating with several theaters, so naturally I hope that the more films in my hand, the better." ”

Iwata Hiromichi slandered in his heart. Why do you cooperate with several theaters, it is clear that your American master is cooperating with others, you are just an errand and warm quilt, if it weren't for the fact that we Dongbao have been really short of money recently. How can I sell you this batch of films,

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said reluctantly on the surface: "Originally, we Dongbao also wanted to try it in theater management, but since you are so sincere, then we Dongbao will not make your money." I will transfer all the film copyrights to you at the original price, and I will ask the finance department to take all the invoices for the purchase after a while. ”

Yoshiko Matsuda waved her hand and said, "Mr. Iwata, you seem to have misunderstood, I never said that I would buy these film copyrights at the original price." ”

Iwata Hiromichi was a little surprised: "Not according to the original price?" Could it be that Team Leader Matsuda still wants to give us some hard work? ”

Matsuda Yoshiko smiled faintly: "Mr. Iwata said that we are joking, we can only reduce the price in business, how can there be a reason to take the initiative to increase the price." What I just said was that I wanted to buy at one-fifth of the original price. ”

In fact, Iwata Hiromichi had long been ready to be slashed by Matsuda Yoshiko, and the hard work just now was just a joke, but he never thought that Matsuda Yoshiko's heart was so black, and he was only willing to buy it at one-fifth of the original price, isn't this a robbery while the fire is burning. So he said with a cold face: "Team Leader Matsuda, you're also joking, these films are all Hollywood classics and award-winning films, and we Dongbao have paid a lot of energy and price to acquire these films, and now you only want to spend one-fifth of the price to buy them, what's the difference between this and robbery?" ”

Matsuda Yoshiko was not angry, and still said with a smile: "Mr. Iwata, don't be so excited." There is an old Chinese saying, it is called buying and selling is not benevolent, I can put forward my price, you can also refuse, the big deal is that this time there is no cooperation. Why make each other so unhappy? ”

Seeing that Matsuda Yoshiko was like this, Iwata Hiromichi was embarrassed to be angry with a woman again, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I'm sorry, Team Leader Matsuda. It was indeed me who was impulsive. But we will never agree to this price, if you really want to promote this cooperation, I hope you can put forward a sincere price. ”

Yoshiko Matsuda shook her head and said, "Mr. Iwata, to be honest, it is impossible for anyone other than me to buy the film rights in your hands now, because the facts have proven that your purchase in Hollywood has failed." Although these films are award-winning films, the Japanese people don't like them, and I bought them as a stock film, so I will definitely not increase the purchase price. And your current situation in Dongbao is not optimistic, the existing films are not blockbusters, and the cast and crew are dissatisfied, and the funds in their hands are not enough to start filming a new film, and if you don't get a fund, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain it, so I'm helping you, please cherish this opportunity. ”

Although Iwata Hiromichi knew that Matsuda Yoshiko was telling the truth, this price was unacceptable to either himself or Toho's board of directors, and he would never admit that Matsuda Yoshiko said about Toho's predicament, otherwise the hearts of the people at the bottom would be scattered, so he said strongly: "Team leader Matsuda, please pay attention to your words, our Toho Pictures is the largest film production factory in Japan, and our capital and heritage are unimaginable, so please don't forget to speculate, since you are unwilling to increase the purchase price, Then I can only regret this cooperation. ”

Yoshiko Matsuda stood up very neatly and said meaningfully: "I believe that Mr. Iwata, you will definitely regret your decision just now, I am waiting for you at Yoshiko Cinema, goodbye!" With that, he turned around and left.

There is no doubt that Matsuda Yoshiko's acquisition this time was naturally instructed by Tang Ning, and after watching the rare earth-shattering excitement, he told Matsuda Yoshiko to pay attention to tracking the progress of this matter, in fact, as early as when Jimmy was arranged to relax the restrictions on Toho's acquisition, Tang Ning already had the idea of buying these films at a low price.

Of course, he also knew that it was difficult for Toho to accept this gap for a while, after all, Matsuda Yoshiko's approach was a standard robbery while the fire was burning, so he had already prepared the corresponding backhand. (To be continued.) )
