Chapter 235: The Second Collaboration with Fruit

After repeatedly confirming that Song Mu did not have any demands, Hasley Hill promised that he would explain to the United States headquarters that he would frantically advocate "Plan D", and he took Pete Joyce to say goodbye and leave.

Haasley Hill was very efficient, and just two days later, he was back at the Elite Group office on the afternoon of the third day.

It's still the same four people as it was three days ago, and it's still a glass conference room.

Liu Xiaoping entered the conference room under the pretext of serving tea and pouring water, and forgot to go out after pouring water for the four of them. Song Mu watched her naturally pull open the chair she used to sit on, and sat down directly without saying a word, the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching, but in the end she didn't drive her out.

"Miss Song," Hasley Hill took the initiative to speak, "I contacted the United States headquarters on the day I went back, and I gave a reply an hour ago, and I rushed over as soon as possible." ”

The corners of Song Mu's eyes couldn't help twitching, thinking that the livers of the bigwigs of the fruit company were really good, and they were able to hold meetings until now, you must know that it was late at night in the United States at this time!

Seeing that Song Mu didn't speak, Hasley Hill felt that she might be waiting for the following, so she continued: "I reported the situation on your side to the headquarters in the most detailed language, and after two days of research, the headquarters has made some decisions that I need to confirm with you one by one. ”

Waiting for Song Mu to nod his head in confirmation, Hasley Hill showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "First of all, it is about the cooperation of Plan D. Since I haven't seen the sample of "Plan D" at the headquarters in the United States, I don't know the production level of your animated series, even if I describe it in great detail, they don't dare to believe my description. Therefore, they want to cooperate with you this time, and after seeing the results, they will consider whether the future cooperation will follow the routine of animated films. I wonder if you can accept this kind of cooperation? ”

"Yes," Song Mu did not disagree: "This "Plan D" is indeed the first long-form animated series I led the production, and I can understand your concerns. ”

"Okay, thank you for your understanding." Hesley Hill breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's talk about the cooperation plan proposed by our fruit company. Since this is a story with a modern setting, we want to collaborate in the form of product placement, I don't know if you agree? Maybe you don't quite understand what implanted ......"

"Mr. Hill, you don't need to explain too much," Song Mu waved his hand to interrupt Hasley Hill's words, and explained a little embarrassedly: "In fact, this "Plan D" is a product placement advertisement from beginning to end, and the car brands that appear in this animation are all product placements...... In other words, you can call "Plan D" a film with story content, and it is no problem to say that the joint advertisement of domestic car companies. ”

Hasley Hill: "!! ”

As the most developed country in the world, product placement in various movies and television has been prevalent for decades, but he didn't expect that in a relatively economically backward country like China, there were not only product placement ads, but also all car companies in a country at one time! This...... It's incredible!

Song Mu didn't notice Hesley Hill's shock, she continued to laugh and said, "So your second question is completely unnecessary, there are so many advertisements in Plan D, do you think we would mind adding another advertisement for Fruit Company?" ”

The corners of Hasley Hill's mouth twitched slightly, and then he forced a smile again, "Since that's the case, it's easy to say." Don't you want to order 3,000 Macintana computers? The idea of our fruit company is that we will offer you a 7% discount on the basis of large customers.

"There are three points that need to be done on your side, the first and second points are similar to animated films, and the fruit company will be given the permission to use the name of the elite group of Huaguohai Fine Arts Film Studio when promoting, as well as leaving advertisements and logos at the end of the film; The third point is that the Macintana computer appears at least ten times in the animation produced this time. ”

Song Mu didn't answer immediately after listening to Han Yangqiu's translation, but weighed the pros and cons of these clauses in his mind.

First of all, the fruit company uses the name of the elite group for publicity, which is actually the same as the terms of the animated movie, even if Song Mu disagrees, the fruit company essentially has the right to use it, so Song Mu doesn't care about it.

The second end ad and LOGO, not to mention how much influence you have, if you just calculate the workload, there is not much trouble.

As for the third point......

"Mr. Hill, what exactly do you mean by at least ten times?" Song Mu looked at Hasley Hill: "Is it as long as he looks like Macintana?" Or is it necessary to appear the operation interface or the fruit LOGO? How many seconds does it take each time? Do you need to be in the center of the frame? ”

Song Mu's series of questions directly confused Hasley Hill. Although he is an executive of a fruit company, he has never been exposed to advertising work, and asking him to answer at this moment is almost no different from directly embarrassing him.

Hasley Hill showed a bitter expression: "Miss Song, if I didn't know that you are an excellent animated film director and producer, I would almost think that you are an advertising producer." Your questions are too professional for me to answer in the affirmative. So, can I use your phone? ”

Song Mu immediately understood that he was going to contact the headquarters of the fruit company. Yunnan

This made her raise her eyebrows curiously and asked, "It's late at night in the United States, right?" Will anyone answer the phone? ”

"Miss Song, don't worry," said Hasley Hill, "as I said, our fruit company takes this cooperation very seriously, and in fact they are all waiting for the results in the conference room." ”

Song Mu: "......"

As for so desperately?!

She pointed to the phone in the conference room and motioned for Hasley Hill to take it easy, and she walked out of the conference room with Liu Xiaoping and Han Yangqiu to give Hasley Hill a private space.

As soon as the door of the conference room was closed, Liu Xiaoping, who had been silent, suddenly resumed her old chatter: "Lead. Director, the conditions given by this foreigner seem to be good, right? The first two points are still the same as giving money for free, as for the third point, I have already thought about it, just put a computer in the character's home, and the added workload is not large. If you pay 10,000 for a computer, 3,000 will be cheaper by more than 9 million! ”

Song Mu smiled and nodded: "As soon as you count the money, your brain is good, why don't you usually see your head so bright?" In the large class and small class, PPS still hasn't fully understood......

"Collar. Don't talk about it......" Liu Xiaoping blushed a little: "Actually, I learned it very well, but I still have some habits that I haven't changed when I use it." ”

Song Mu didn't say anything more about her, and Han Yangqiu suddenly said to Liu Xiaoping: "There is a problem with your accounting, first of all, the price of the computer in the United States is not so expensive; Secondly, Hasley Hill said that they would give big customer prices. After these discounts are calculated, plus the taxes collected by our Huaguo, it is estimated that each computer will cost more than 8,000. ”

Liu Xiaoping's eyes rolled and he came up with a new number: "Isn't that only six million?" ”

"......" Song Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Six million is still less?" Since when did you start to swell! ”

"Hehe...... Liu Xiaoping scratched her head embarrassedly: "Isn't this compared to nine million...... Hey hey ......"

I don't know if she wants to divert the topic, or if she really remembered the matter, Liu Xiaoping suddenly said with a straight face: "We can promise anything for more than nine million, but we can't agree to everything if there are only six million!" Collar. You have to think about it. ”

Although Song Mu didn't calculate the specific amount like Liu Xiaoping, she never thought of agreeing to a job that was too troublesome from the beginning. Song Mu's plan was that if the fruit company's request was too troublesome, she would either ask for more benefits or just ask the other party to give money. As for the 3,000 computers, the big deal is to pay the full amount directly.

She was just about to open her mouth to tell Liu Xiaoping when she saw the door of the glass conference room opened, and Hasley Hill and Pete Joyce appeared at the door, and they welcomed Song Mu and the three inside.

Sitting back in their respective positions again, Hasley Hill got straight to the point: "We don't have any specific requirements here, you can come according to the needs of your plot, we only ask for more than ten appearances." ”

Song Mu is very satisfied with this result, so as Liu Xiaoping just said, as long as each house adds a decoration called "Macintana computer", it will be over, so it will not increase the workload much.

"Very good." Song Mu nodded in agreement: "Then, I still have a few questions, if the answers you give are still satisfactory to me, I think we can sign the contract with you." ”

Hasley Hill quietly waited for Song Mu's question.

"How much more do we have to pay for the elite group?" Song Mu threw out the question she was most concerned about.

"At today's exchange rate, you'll need to pay another 22 million. This is a fraction of a figure, and at the same time, it includes services such as installation and commissioning. Haesley Hill replied without thinking, apparently he had already prepared an answer for this.

This figure is lower than Liu Xiaoping's estimate, but much higher than Han Yangqiu's estimate, I don't know if it's because of the estimate just outside, Song Mu is still quite satisfied with this price, so she asked the second question: "When will the three thousand computers arrive?" ”

"If nothing else, they will arrive in four batches over a three-month period." Hasley Hill still replied: "You don't have to wait for your money to arrive, as long as the contract is signed, the first batch of 800 computers will be shipped to China; The second batch has 500 units, which are estimated to be sent to China in half a month; The third batch ...... The fourth batch of ......"

Hasley Hill introduced Song Mu in detail, and Song Mu recorded the time and quantity of the four batches on a piece of paper, and calculated for a moment for each department in the studio, Song Mu finally got up and stretched out his right hand to Hasley Hill: "Mr. Hill, I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”
