Chapter 120: Let's Take a Long-Term Perspective (Part 3)

When D'Addario picked up the phone to dial 911, Min reached out and grabbed her arm to stop her.

Daddario put down the phone, took Min Congda into his arms, and said, "Oh my God, what's wrong with you?" Are you okay? ”

Min Congda felt the soft round pillow, felt a little better, and said, "I have some low blood sugar, get me a glass of orange juice." ”

After drinking a glass of orange juice, Min Congda felt much better.

After coming to New York, I patronized and practiced martial arts with Daddario, but I haven't eaten yet.

After a fierce battle, the stomach was empty, plus the mental stimulation just now.

Isn't it just low blood sugar to make you dizzy?

Daddario called the front desk again and asked for a dinner.

The two sat on the bed and feasted, and Min Congda felt relieved.

The physical body has been relieved, but the mental trauma has not been alleviated.

What should I do with the film "Basketball and Kee"?

Now Jordan Peel and Michael Key are in New York.

Can you directly terminate the filming of the film and break the contract?

The system gives a prompt, which is unreasonable and the operation is not allowed.

"Damn, it's really not allowed, it must be reasonable. But TM is reasonable, and I'll earn it! ”

"No, I'm going to talk to them."

So, Min Congda ate and wiped clean and called Jordan Peele.

"Hey, Peele, are you free right now? I'd like to talk to you. ”

"Mr. Smart, I happened to be looking for you, and I have good news for you!"

Jordan Peel on the other end of the line said he had good news.

Min Congda's heart tightened, good news? Their good news is bad news for him.

Min Congda stabilized his mood, coughed, and said, "What good news do you say first." ”

"Just now, the deputy director of our Fox TV station called me and said that they are interested in buying the copyright of "Basketball and Key", which is full copyright, including the right to broadcast on the network and the right to broadcast on the TV station, a one-time buyout!"

Sure enough, the worst news came.

Min Congda stabilized his mind and asked, "How much are they going to spend on the copyright?" ”

Jordan Peel said: "Thirty million! ”

, 30 million! 10 million becomes 30 million, how can this be played?

Jordan Peel added: "Thirty million is not only for this season, but also for the documentary and short film shoots in the following seasons. Fox TV will sponsor all kinds of equipment, personnel..."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Min Congda interrupted Jordan Peele.

"I didn't decide I wanted to sell the rights to Fox."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Jordan Peel asked cautiously, "Do you think the price is too low?" Indeed, I thought so too, so Fox TV said that the price could be raised to 50 million and a five-year contract could be signed..."

Million! Or a five-year long-term contract!

Then the Clippers' cash flow will be even more abundant!

"No, no, no, it's not about the money, Peele, you don't understand what I mean, I'm not going to sell the rights to Fox TV, not for any money."

"What? How much money doesn't sell? 10 billion to sell or not? ”

You're talking nonsense, 10 billion, and the NBA's broadcast contract is only $7.4 billion.

Min Congda sorted out his thoughts and said, "Peel, I said it's not about money. I saw your work today, it's very good, and it's just getting started, do you have confidence in your creativity? ”

Pierre: "Mr. Smart, I have absolute confidence in our creativity that we can shoot better. ”

"Yes, you can still shoot better, so why sell the copyright to others early so that they can reap the benefits in the future? And once the copyright is sold, your creation may be controlled by others, right? ”

"Let's take a long-term view!"

Min Congda also said this famous quote to Jordan Peele.

We should have a long view!

Anyway, he often used these words to fool the people below, from Rosser to Olsie, from Dunleavy to Curry, all of whom were bewitched by him.

Now there is one more victim, don't put aside the $30 million you can get in front of you, and take a long-term view.

For Min Congda, taking a long-term view means giving Lao Tzu some time and letting me think of ways to do something to make the team worse a little worse.

The 30 million is absolutely impossible to get your hands on, so let Jordan Peel and Michael Key continue to make videos.

Posting videos on YouTube is free, and although there is popularity, there is no profit.

In later terms, it is difficult to monetize.

To put it bluntly, there are too many people who prostitute for nothing, and they are not popular.

Since then, Peel and Kee have made more and more films, and the investment has become bigger and bigger.

Fame may become more and more famous, but without profit, isn't it a bottomless pit?

Although this will bring some exposure to the Clippers, how many can really be converted into Clippers fans and give money to the Clippers consumption?

Anyway, it won't be in a short period of time, so it will buy Min Congda precious time.

If Min Congda succeeds in making the Clippers bankrupt one day, then these short films and documentaries, along with their copyrights, are just part of the team's intellectual property and goodwill.

When the bankruptcy was liquidated, it was evaluated and used to pay off the debt.

But if you sell the copyright immediately, it's real cash.

30 million cash, minus costs, 20 million profits.

Last season's championship team, the Los Angeles Lakers, made a profit of only $50 million in the season.

You haven't finished this half season, and the team has an extra 20 million cash in their accounts.

What do you want those assessment agencies to think? I don't give you good reviews, and the market value is going up.

Knowing this, Min Congda told Jordan Peele: "Shoot well, shoot slowly, and don't focus on the interests of the moment." The reason why I'm giving you $10 million is because I want to give you a great creative environment, you know what I mean? ”

"I see, I see what you mean, Mr. Smart, I'm going to turn back on Fox. Oh yes, what did you call me for? ”

"I'm looking for you? Belch... I... I'm looking for you for this, so you can understand what I mean. ”

"Yes, I have fully understood what you mean, and your foresight makes me admire, really."

Jordan Peel fully understood what Min Congda meant, in fact, he originally wanted not to sell the copyright of "Basketball and Kee" for the time being.

First, once the copyright was sold and the contract was signed, this theme would be filmed for the next few years, and it was rushed by Fox TV with a whip.

Not only will the quality decrease, but the pleasure of creating will also decrease.

It's good now, Min Congda is a loose Party A.

Plenty of money, plenty of ideas, plenty of time.

They can polish their ideas well.

And the autonomy of filming is in their hands.

They wanted to shoot basketball, and occasionally they could shoot something else, but Mr. Smart didn't care anyway.

If it is sold to a TV station, it will definitely be made into a program, and how to shoot it will be controlled by others, so forget it.

Joda Peel has an ambition to make a film of his own in the future.

At that time, he must let Mr. Smart and his Los Angeles Clippers get a huge profit! It can be compared to a slam dunk in the air.
