Chapter 297: Cooperation
In fact, Xingcan Entertainment's actions are faster than Menghua Entertainment's, but in view of the previous grievances with Xingcan Entertainment, Zhang Lan didn't even ask Zhang Songnian and Li Xingruo's meaning, so she directly rejected Qiu Youtong's intention.
Zhang Songnian is hard to say, but Li Xingruo's temperament Zhang Lan still knows very well, and they have no possibility of cooperating with Xingcan Entertainment.
Xingcan Entertainment originally wanted to fight for it again, after all, Jinyu Entertainment took the initiative to give up this cooperation opportunity, so there will be no more than five companies in the circle that can allow Zhang Songnian to choose, and among these companies, Xingcan Entertainment can be said to be the strongest and most sincere.
Because of the existence of Zhang Songnian, Golden Feather Entertainment completed the overtaking of his own curve in two years, Qiu Youtong will be anxious at this time, putting aside interests, being surpassed by Golden Feather Entertainment is a slap in the face to the entire Golden Feather and himself.
This makes Qiu Youtong how to endure it, the hegemony of the first giant in the entertainment industry must be Xingcan Entertainment, and it can only be Xingcan Entertainment.
In fact, in terms of the comprehensive strength of the two companies, there is not much difference, and even in terms of heritage, Xingcan Entertainment can confidently say that it is more confident than Jinyu Entertainment.
The key factor in the competition between the two companies is nothing more than Zhang Songnian.
In the past, one person could influence the pattern of the entire entertainment industry, Qiu Youtong did not believe it.
But Zhang Songnian, a young man, is really able to create miracles, and he has created miracles more than once, and he has forcibly elevated Golden Feather Entertainment to its current status.
When Golden Feather Entertainment really completed the counterattack, Qiu Youtong was somewhat regretful.
As long as he had not handled the relationship between Xingcan Entertainment and Zhang Songnian so stiffly, then today's Xingcan Entertainment would not have been passive to the current situation.
However, fortunately, Zhang Songnian and Jinyu Entertainment are not monolithic now, and he still has theoretical room to cooperate with Zhang Songnian.
With this idea, Qiu Youtong stubbornly chose to pull down his face again, wanting to seek an opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Songnian.
In order to win this opportunity, Qiu Youtong even held that even if the leading power of this project was in the hands of Zhang Songnian, he could accept it.
As long as there is the first cooperation, presumably the communication will be much smoother in the future, and the two sides will not be able to release their previous suspicions.
It's a pity that Zhang Lan didn't give him this opportunity at all, and hung up the phone directly, leaving Qiu Youtong on the other end of the phone with a confused face.
"Eh, one wrong step, one wrong step"
Qiu Youtong smiled bitterly at the phone that had been hung up, and then shook his head.
Since he was in charge of Xingcan Entertainment, he has always only hung up on other people's phones, but he didn't expect that now he has been hung up by an agent several times in a row.
After sighing helplessly, Qiu Youtong asked his assistant to find the person in charge who had first contact with Zhang Songnian with a blank face.
From top to bottom, Xingcan Entertainment does have a mentality of arrogance, and the corporate culture belongs to it.
Qiu Youtong used to think that this matter was not a big problem, after all, Xingcan Entertainment is the number one giant in the entertainment industry, and it is natural to be a little arrogant when going out.
But looking back now, Qiu Youtong found that if he had been sincere when he first contacted Zhang Songnian, although he would not have been able to sign Li Xingruo, at least he would not have grudges.
If there is no grudge, there is no opportunity to cooperate now.
In the final analysis, it is the arrogance in the bones of Xingcan Entertainment that eats itself.
In a company, what kind of people are often the leaders, what kind of people the employees under them will be.
Qiu Youtong's arrogance has invisibly affected many people in Xingcan Entertainment, so the people below will subconsciously learn the behavior and habits of the company's leaders, but it is a pity that most people do not have Qiu Youtong's personal ability.
The larger the scale of the company, the more difficult it is to be a manager, and Qiu Youtong has a deep understanding of this truth.
However, the company culture has been formed, and it is not easy for Qiu Youtong to rectify, but if this atmosphere is allowed to grow, then the company may most likely miss Li Songnian and Wang Songnian.
Therefore, Qiu Youtong did not hesitate, and directly found a back-handed man, planning to kill one by one.
In fact, Qiu Youtong knew very well in his heart that the arrogance of Xingcan Entertainment was actually transmitted from himself.
After all, even when he first came into contact with Li Xingruo, who terminated his contract from Xinghuo Entertainment, Xingcan Entertainment actually didn't have much grudge with the two, and what really intensified the conflict between the two sides was actually his decision to snipe Li Xingruo's first new album from that time.
But can this matter be said, I can't say that there is a problem with my decision-making in front of the whole company, even if it is really my own decision-making that is wrong, but as long as he does not say that he has a problem, the people of the whole company will still think that he is right on the surface.
But if you admit your own problems at the beginning, then I am afraid that the next day I will be the talk of the entire entertainment industry after dinner, and there may be many people who laugh at themselves.
Therefore, no matter what, even if he knows that he is wrong, Qiu Youtong has no way to admit it.
He did not dare and could not admit the problem in front of everyone.
After all, as the helmsman of Xingcan Entertainment, he still needs face.
Therefore, at this time, the only one who can share his worries is the old unlucky guy of the company.
To some extent, this is the sadness of beating workers.
——
Compared with Qiu Youtong's inner unhappiness at the moment, Fu Yiwen is in a pretty good mood now.
After deciding to try to contact Zhang Songnian, Zhang Songnian's agent Zhang Lan readily agreed, and the two sides agreed on a time to discuss the next step of cooperation.
"I've admired Mr. Zhang for a long time, and I finally saw it today. Fu Yiwen looked at Zhang Songnian, who was sitting in front of her with a handsome face and a dangerous face, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart.
Although she had known that Zhang Song was not old, she did not expect to be so young.
A pair of bright eyes full of youth, a shallow smile on her face, and her demeanor was quite decent, so that Fu Yiwen couldn't help but look at Zhang Songnian a few more times.
"Mr. Fu is really a compliment, if you want to say that I admire you, I should also admire you." Zhang Songnian quietly complimented back.
Fu Yiwen glanced at Zhang Songnian again and smiled.
Then Fu Yiwen said very simply: "Mingren don't say dark words, the purpose of my coming this time is clear to you, I want to get the film and television adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Mr. Zhang will make a price." ”
Fu Yiwen didn't have so many twists and turns, the main thing was sincerity, and she also threw the question to Zhang Songnian, she wanted to see where Zhang Songnian's bottom line was, so that she would have room for bargaining later.
In fact, Fu Yiwen was somewhat curious about what kind of conditions Zhang Songnian offered, so that Jinyu Entertainment chose to retreat.
I have watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" several times, although I am not a screenwriter, but I also realize that this is as wonderful as a classic.
As long as it can be adapted, with the size and strength of Golden Feather Entertainment, the final result will not be too bad.
However, Jin Yu Entertainment and Zhang Songnian did not reach an intention, which made Fu Yiwen very curious.
She wants to see how excessive Zhang Songnian's request is.
Zhang Songnian has been mentally prepared for this, and has been with Li Shouzhao for a long time, and Zhang Songnian has a relatively clear understanding of the style of a person of this level.
In the face of this expected reaction, Zhang Songnian also directly played a card.
Facing Fu Yiwen's eyes full of curiosity and expectation, Zhang Songnian smiled and said: "My requirements are actually very simple, the copyright of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" must be in my hands, and I have to have the right to decide the script and some actors. ”
After Fu Yiwen listened, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This request, it's no wonder that Golden Feather Entertainment didn't agree.
In other words, if you want to adapt "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the cooperative entertainment company is only responsible for contributing money and efforts, and as long as Zhang Songnian wants to intervene, the company has to do it according to Zhang Songnian's requirements.
In other words, the adaptation of this drama is in the hands of Zhang Songnian, and the entertainment company is just a part-time worker.
The most important thing is that the copyright of this script is still in the hands of Zhang Songnian.
If the company still wants to shoot this story or adapt it into other directions in the future, it still needs to pay a certain copyright fee to Zhang Songnian again.
Fu Yiwen began to understand Golden Feather Entertainment's choice.
Golden Feather Entertainment has no shortage of scripts and no shortage of IP.
Although the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very strong, it is not Jinyu Entertainment's own after all, which is not in the interests of the company.
Fu Yiwen was silent for a while, then raised her head with a hint of a smile and said jokingly: "Mr. Zhang's request is quite outrageous, no wonder Jinyu Entertainment is unwilling to cooperate, I really thought there was a quarrel between you." ”
Zhang Songnian touched his nose a little embarrassed and didn't speak.
Fu Yiwen paused for a moment and continued: "Mr. Zhang has such a demanding request, isn't he afraid that no company in the entertainment industry is willing to take on this project?" ”
Zhang Songnian replied very directly: "Compared with a company of your company's strength, whether it is professionalism or efficiency, it is the highest in the circle, of course, if no one really wants to take on this project, then in fact, I can also form my own crew, but at present, this is not my best choice." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Songnian couldn't help but shake his head.
After hearing Zhang Songnian's answer, Fu Yiwen chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Zhang is very honest." ”
"In this case, the issue of copyright is non-negotiable, right?" After the words fell, Fu Yiwen asked again.
Zhang Songnian nodded affirmatively, it is impossible for him to let go of the copyright of the Condor trilogy.
"Doesn't Mr. Fu already have an answer in his heart?" Zhang Songnian asked with a smile.
Fu Yiwen fell silent, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, and she quickly calculated in her heart.
To be honest, Zhang Songnian's request almost treats Dream Talk Entertainment as a tool, and his side has completely lost the dominance of this project.
The right to adapt the script and casting alone is on Zhang Songnian's side, and if the other party has a little selfishness, it will be difficult for this cooperation to continue.
Not to mention the issue of copyright, copyright involves the long-term interests of the company, if it is not a last resort, Dream Talk Entertainment does not want to let go.
But after thinking about it, Fu Yiwen felt that if it weren't for Zhang Songnian's excessive request, she would not have the opportunity to choose now, and this opportunity for cooperation should have fallen to Jinyu Entertainment a long time ago.
Thinking about it this way, Fu Yiwen felt that it seemed that this request was not very difficult to accept.
It seemed to see Fu Yiwen's doubts, Zhang Songnian thought for a while and said: "Mr. Fu doesn't have to worry that I will interfere with you too much, but as a creator, I want to restore the content of the story and the image of the main characters in my mind. ”
After a pause, Zhang Songnian continued: "As for the issue of copyright, this is my bottom line, and it is difficult to have room for negotiation.
Hearing the turn in Zhang Songnian's tone, Fu Yiwen looked at Zhang Songnian, looking at him with some curiosity what reason he wanted to use to impress himself.
Sensing Fu Yiwen's eyes, Zhang Songnian smiled, and then said: "I don't know if Fu Yiwen has finished reading "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", if you have seen the end, you will find that there are still many things that have not been explained, so in fact, there is a sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and I have finished writing it and am currently planning to publish it. ”
Hearing this, a flash of brightness flashed in Fu Yiwen's eyes.
"After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there will be two more to undertake this story as a sequel, if Menghua Entertainment's adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" works well, then the remaining two sequels, we may not be able to continue to cooperate for a long time." Zhang Songnian threw out the last hole card, which he didn't tell Jinyu Entertainment.
After some conversation, Zhang Songnian's impression of Fu Yiwen is not bad.
Moreover, Menghua Entertainment's strength is currently the most suitable company to adapt the Condor Trilogy in the entertainment industry, and Zhang Songnian is actually quite interested in Menghua Entertainment.
"Two more?"
"You mean that in addition to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there are two other films of the same length and quality that can be adapted into film and television dramas?" Fu Yiwen looked at Zhang Songnian with a hint of excitement in her tone, and a hint of disbelief, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Zhang Songnian nodded with a smile, and then said: "It's really about the same length, but the quality, I can't say for sure, I can only say that it won't be too bad." ”
Zhang Songnian said a little conservatively, after all, whether it is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" or "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", in terms of word of mouth, in fact, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is better.
But as Zhang Songnian said, although the latter is not as good as the former, the quality is not much worse.
After hearing Zhang Songnian's answer, Fu Yiwen nodded decisively: "Okay, we agreed to the copyright issue." ”
After finishing speaking, Fu Yiwen stretched out her hand and smiled at Zhang Songnian and said, "Then we will have a happy cooperation, Mr. Zhang." ”
