"I thought about it before, and I think that we can basically accept the cooperation framework given by Wedo Entertainment."

Looking around the entire conference room, Zhang Yanping's gaze finally fell on a white man sitting at the long table, and asked, "Andrew, what do you think?" ”

This man, Andrew, is the head of the 'fist' side from the United States.

After listening to the words of the translator next to him, Andrew responded: "I have no opinion, I also think it is acceptable." ”

Andrew has also been involved in previous negotiations with many Hollywood companies.

The very ugly eating appearance of those American movie predators made him feel angry and frustrated for a long time.

And after a whole morning of communication today, Ye Jiayi gave him a good feeling. Although the woman was always unsmiling and looked serious, Andrew felt that Dimension Entertainment was quite friendly compared to the situations he encountered in Hollywood.

Not only him, but many other people in the conference room also said that it was acceptable.

Zhang Yanping nodded and said, "Okay, next, about the specific copyright sharing method, we can discuss it first, and reach a preliminary opinion first, so that we can continue to talk to Ye Jiayi in the afternoon." ”

……

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Jiayi returned to the headquarters building of the Penguin Group on time, and at the door, Zhang Yanping's assistant was already waiting for them.

Under the guidance of the other party, Ye Jiayi and the team she brought entered the building.

Walking inside, she looked around.

I have to say that Penguin's headquarters in Deep City is indeed very grand and modern.

This more or less made Ye Jiayi feel a little envious.

But then, this emotion was left behind by her.

She has a belief that perhaps, under the leadership of Fan Zhe in the future, Wedo Entertainment may also have a similar or even better office building here.

Retracting her thoughts, she and the assistants and colleagues she brought with her quickly took the elevator back to the morning conference hall.

Negotiations between the two sides will continue.

……

At the beginning of the afternoon meeting, Zhang Yanping set a tone: "We are willing to accept the big cooperation framework proposed by Ms. Ye, but we still need to discuss the specific contents." ”

"Okay." Ye Jiayi said, "Then let's do it one by one." The first point is that without the written consent of Wedo Entertainment, you have no right to develop any other film and television copyrights. ”

After arguing for a while, Zhang Yanping finally said that this point was basically acceptable.

Since it is cooperation, this is inevitable. It is impossible that after Dimension Entertainment obtains copyright sharing, Riot or Penguin can also carry out copyright development on the corresponding character image at will, which is impossible.

Next, Ye Jiayi mentioned the second point: "The shared hero role and the benefits of film investment are divided equally according to the proportion of investment between the two parties." This share is not only the profit of the movie, but also the peripheral rights generated by the character, from figurines and toys to clothing and prints, to advertisements and character image licenses...... All peripheral products are divided into this way. ”

Zhang Yanping quit.

"Mr. Ye, your proposal is too exaggerated, and we can't accept it."

Ye Jiayi took a sip of water, and her face was silent.

Zhang Yanping paused and continued: "You mentioned that there are too many items involved in profit sharing, and all peripheral products are involved, which is impossible. According to you, this is equivalent to all the copyrights about this hero entering the sharing mode, which is inconsistent with the sharing of only film and television copyrights that we discussed before. ”

"In addition, we are completely unacceptable to determine the share purely according to the proportion of investment. This does not reflect the copyright value of "League of Legends" in the slightest, we paid for the copyright, but we actually enjoy the same profit sharing ratio as you, Ms. Ye, with all due respect, your idea is too wild. ”

"You paid for the copyright, and we also paid for what we deserved. Not only in China, but even in the whole world, the visual technology level of Wedo Entertainment is the top. Aside from us, I'm afraid you'd be hard-pressed to find a company with the same strong technical capabilities. ”

Ye Jiayi paused and continued: "Even if you go to find Industrial Light and Magic and Vita, I believe that we are stronger than each other, and the cost is lower. ”

"But, allow me to interrupt." Andrew, who was next to Zhang Yanping, also spoke, he spoke English, but Ye Jiayi didn't have any difficulty listening to it, and her English was also very good.

Waving his hand and interrupting the translator's words, Ye Jiayi switched to English and said, "You can continue." ”

"Okay." Andrew said: "I believe what you say, and I also believe that the technology of Dimension Entertainment is very incredible. However, the key point is that no matter how good the special effects are, they will eventually be reflected in the production budget. And this part of the money, we and your company bear together. Therefore, it is not appropriate for you to use the level of special effects production as a bargaining chip. ”

Ye Jiayi chuckled, shook his head, and swept his gaze between Zhang Yanping and Andrew: "If you think so, you are very wrong. Our technical capabilities are only one aspect, but you may have overlooked the latter advantage I mentioned: cost. ”

"All of Dimension Entertainment's projects are made by ourselves. So we don't need to be accountable to anyone in terms of cost budgeting, so we prefer to estimate in a more conservative way. But in fact, if the corresponding level of special effects production is the production of external works, our fees cannot be so low. ”

You can see this from the film and television works produced by many dimensional entertainment such as "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", "Martial Arts Grandmaster", and "Hell Apartment". From the level of special effects, the number of shots made of special effects, and then compared with the cost of the work, there will be obvious feelings. ”

"Especially "Hell Apartment", the same level of special effects, can be done like this in the world, there are many, but the total investment amount of that movie is only 20 million yuan. You go to Vita and Industrial Light & Magic to see if 20 million yuan is enough for them to do one-third of the special effects of "Hell Apartment". ”

The more Ye Jiayi said, the stronger the momentum became: "This is what Wedo Entertainment has paid, and it is irreplaceable." ”

There was silence in the room.

The addition is complete.

I recommend a new book, "Playing Games to Get Stronger", which is quite interesting.
