Chapter 986: New Series
Nanhai Pictures' caution, Sun Peng can certainly understand.
You must know that what he wants is not an investment of hundreds of millions of Chinese coins to shoot a "children's movie" above the standard, what he wants is for a large film company to participate in the momentum of the Little Wizard series in an all-round way!
In addition to the production fee, there is also a huge publicity cost!
At the same time, he even needs the full support of Nanhai Group, the parent company of Nanhai Pictures, not only in the fields of books and films!
It is conceivable how big the investment of Nanhai Group is!
And all this is just for the sake of a book, although the sales are not low, but they have not yet reached the phenomenal level...... Or to put it more bluntly, just for the name Lao Bai?
I have to say that even though Sun Peng is very good now, he has not reached this point!
So roughly explained to him, Sun Ya shook her head and said: "Actually, the Forbidden City and the rainbow are really sincere, and to be honest, I personally think that if the Forbidden City and Ge Hailan and their family join forces, ......"
"No, the Forbidden City is still a little far behind."
Although it has faintly become one of the giants of Chinese films, the foundation of Forbidden City Pictures is still shallow after all, at least compared with giants such as Lotus and Nanhai, the gap is visible to the naked eye. If you have to compare, maybe it's the difference between Hollywood's general big companies and giants like Warner - a super IP like Harry Potter, in addition to super giants like Warner and Disney, can other companies really make it into a 100 billion dollar industrial chain?
Come to think of it, it's unrealistic!
After roughly understanding this, Sun Peng pondered for a moment and smiled: "Sister, otherwise, you can help me make an appointment with the person in charge of Nanhai Pictures, I want to talk to him personally!" ”
"Uh...... Are you sure? ”
For his request, Sun Ya's first reaction was that she had heard it wrong.
"Haha, of course I'm sure!"
Hearing the thick surprise in the second sister's tone, Sun Peng was suddenly happy: "Sister, in your eyes, I am so unreliable, is it so strange that I want to go out and talk to someone about something in person?" ”
"Nonsense, how many times have you been out of the horse yourself?"
This time, there was no need for Sun Ya to answer in person, Lin Lin next to him had already rolled his eyes and seized the opportunity to interject.
“…… All right! ”
Tilting his head and thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng also had to admit that since the second sister became his agent, in addition to writing things and making decisions, he was almost a pure shopkeeper, and he really hadn't shown up a few times!
"So, how do you want to talk to them?"
Regarding Sun Peng's sudden decision, even Sun Ya couldn't help but be curious.
Sun Peng's answer was also unusually simple, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's very simple, draw a big pie, and then give some sweetness!" ”
"Oh? How so? ”
Hearing him say this, Lin Lin suddenly became interested, leaned over and asked in a hurry next to Sun Peng.
"Hey, what do you say?"
His eyes flickered a few times, Sun Peng's eyes stayed on Lin Lin, who was nestled on the sofa barefoot, and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Lin Lin, do you want to be an adventurer?" It's the kind of ...... that you have nothing to do to dig holes in various ancient tombs, do archaeological research, and fight with terrorists by the way."
……
Three days later, Sun Peng came to the familiar palace restaurant alone.
The boss's daughter left after accumulating experience here, but Sun Peng, as a well-known figure and an old patron of the palace, naturally received the restaurant in person as always, and led Sun Peng to the reserved box.
The second sister Sun Ya, who played the front station, has naturally arrived at this time.
So as soon as Sun Peng entered the door, the second sister immediately stood up and introduced him and the two guests in the room with a smile: "Xiaopeng, let me introduce you, this is the prince of Nanhai Pictures, and this is Han Tieshu, vice president of Han......"
"Hello! Hello! ”
Sun Peng took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, shook hands with the two bigwigs respectively, and smiled slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, two, I'm late, right?" ”
"Where, where, it's early for us!"
Sun Peng's attitude was very sincere, and the two bigwigs naturally wouldn't hold a stand, so they hurriedly said a lot of politeness.
For these two ordinary-looking, but imposing film industry bigwigs at a glance, Sun Peng's first impression is quite good. As soon as people heard that Lao Bai wanted to discuss in person, they took the initiative to come to Beijing, and they came to be a boss and a vice president, which can be described as full of sincerity; Second, he came as a guest earlier than Sun Peng, the host, which also made Sun Peng a little embarrassed......
However, this kind of emotion was left behind by Sun Peng in the blink of an eye.
Before coming to meet these two film industry bosses today, Sun Ya gave him two emergency trainings, just to let him understand what to pay attention to in negotiations, especially this so-called embarrassing, looking good and other thoughts, which must never be raised, and even if they do, they must be thrown away immediately!
So after the greetings, Sun Peng immediately looked at Wang Zishan, the real principal of the other party: "Mr. Wang, I took the liberty to invite the two of you to the capital, mainly because I wanted to talk about the film adaptation of the series of Little Wizard Han Bo!" We have been talking for a long time, but it seems that it is difficult to reach a result that everyone is satisfied with, so I think it would be better to talk to you in person! ”
"Hehe, of course!"
Hearing that Sun Peng got to the point so quickly, Wang Zishan seemed to be a little surprised, but immediately straightened up and nodded and smiled: "We have long wanted to meet the famous old Bai teacher, but we know that you were busy editing new films some time ago, and you didn't have this opportunity until now...... Haha, although I have known it for a long time, but after meeting the real person, to be honest, I was still taken aback by your age! ”
“……”
For this old topic, Sun Peng is interested in connecting it.
Well, the smile on your face still has to be maintained.
Immediately got to the point at the dinner table, instead of waiting for a meeting to officially start chatting, Sun Peng's directness made Wang Zishan and the two a little passive. However, after all, he is a battle-hardened shopping mall veteran, so he quickly came back to his senses, Wang Zishan chuckled: "Actually, for the film adaptation rights of the series of Little Wizard Han Bo, our Nanhai Pictures are really very interested, and they are also very sincere!" It's just that investing so much money and other resources at once, which really makes us a little embarrassed......"
"I understand, after all, the results of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" are also very average!"
Smiling slightly, Sun Peng naturally answered without waiting for the other party to finish.
"Where, where, it's already great!"
Hurriedly waved his hand, Wang Zishan said with a smile: "I heard Miss Sun say that the domestic sales of "Han Bo and Lingshi" have reached three million copies, if this is average, I am afraid that there are few bestsellers in the whole of China!" ”
At this moment, Han Tieshu, the vice president next to him, also smiled and said: "It should be said that Teacher Bai's requirements are too high, after all, the sales of any martial arts are astronomical, and three million is naturally difficult to satisfy." ”
The compliments of the two made Sun Peng a little embarrassed again.
With sales of 3 million in China and more than 1.6 million overseas, it sounds really good. But considering that this is almost Harry Potter changing his skin, and it also has the addition of the pen name Lao Bai or Laobai, this sales volume is really a bit shabby......
Fortunately, except for Sun Peng, no one would feel that way.
So after the other two of them finished blowing this wave for themselves, Sun Peng secretly smiled bitterly, and said simply: "Two, in fact, I understand your concerns very well, after all, the investment I asked for is too high, and it seems that the risk is indeed too great." So I'm here today to show you a piece of information! ”
"Facts? What information? ”
After listening to Sun Peng's words, the two bigwigs were stunned at the same time.
Under their scorching gaze, Sun Peng took out two stacks of paper from his bag and placed them in front of the two of them. It doesn't look too thick, at most seven or eight pages, densely filled with text.
Just when the two were puzzled, Sun Peng continued to smile and said: "Gentlemen, in order to show my sincerity, this time in addition to the little wizard, I have also prepared another new series......"
