01538 Negotiations

Chen Cao wanted to buy the film rights in the hands of Nafa Towne, not to enter Hollywood.

To be honest, unless it is an investment in Steven's movie, Hollywood's box office dividend is actually very average.

With an investment of more than $100 million in a super A-level movie, the shooting, production and release cycle is as long as one to two years, and the box office profit can be tens of millions of dollars, which is already a big profit, and the box office profit of tens of millions of dollars still needs to be cut.

More likely, the box office alone won't pay for itself.

It is necessary to make money through peripheral copyrights such as game and TV series copyrights, as well as peripheral products.

And this kind of peripheral copyright and peripheral products are basically exclusive dividends for large companies.

It is almost impossible for small companies or individual investors to reap these dividends.

Like Chen Cao, no matter how rich he is, it is difficult to really get involved in the real profit point of Hollywood.

So Chen Cao has little interest in investing in Hollywood movies at all.

Even if Chen Cao, Steven and Rasfar have invested in a movie, it is more of an interest.

It's best to be able to make money, even if you can't make money, it doesn't hinder the friendship of the three.

As for saving Nafa Donn, hehe...... Chen Cao didn't care if he lived or died.

Chen Cao just thought it was profitable, so he made a move, that's all.

"The most valuable Thief franchise in Nafa Town's hands is owned by Nafa Towne and DSN with 50% each. , This series has been filmed six times so far, two of which have lost money at the box office, but the latest one has a box office of 830 million global box office, plus the sale of peripherals, DSN's revenue in this movie has reached 200 million US dollars, so just this series needs at least 500 million US dollars, you can buy the copyright, in addition, Nafa Towne as the absolute protagonist of this series, even if the copyright is taken off, he still has the right to speak on this movie, and then he will inevitably ask for a higher salary plus box office share, so you also need an agreement that requires him to have at least three films in the futureThe "Thief" series of films cannot be resigned, and the salary must not exceed $20 million. ”

Steven knows the rules of Hollywood too well, and if Nafa Towne loses the rights to the "Thief" series, then he will inevitably open his mouth in order to make up for his loss in the next film in the series.

And as long as Chen Cao gets this agreement, then the value of the "Thief" series will be greatly increased.

500 million US dollars! Chen Cao's face changed slightly.

The number was much higher than he had imagined.

"Extraordinary Life" is also a series of movies, the first one has been released, a small loss at the box office, but the cost has been recovered from the periphery, in Hollywood, the series of movies has always been a big hit, as long as the production is not bad, the box office will not be bad, the value of the copyright of this series of films is not less than 200 million US dollars, and there are several other film copyrights, the copyright value ranges from millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars, adding up to no more than 30 million US dollars, which is an addition. Steven said, "Did you get that much money?"

"There's not that much cash, but the bank should be happy to lend me money. ”

For banks, they are never afraid of others borrowing money, they are afraid that others will not borrow money.

Especially Chen Cao, a wealthy man with a large number of high-quality industries under his name.

The value of the brand Dashan Beer alone has exceeded 5 billion US dollars, and Chen Cao still holds most of the shares of Dashan Beer, so let alone borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars, even if it is billions of dollars, banks will fight to lend money to Chen Cao.

"In the current situation of Enafah Towne, about $650 million should be his bottom line. Steven said.

Steven gave a package price, in fact, this kind of copyright negotiation needs to be negotiated one by one.

"You call your lawyer, and I'll explain to him. Steven said.

Although Steven served as Chen Cao's adviser, he himself was not involved in the copyright deal.

Because even he didn't dare to face DSN head-on.

As long as you are in Hollywood, you can't help but face up to the existence of DSN.

There are only outsiders like Chen Cao, who don't care about DSN at all, and DSN doesn't have any way to take Chen Cao.

That's why Nafa Donn is looking for Chen.

Because Nafa Donn didn't know that several of those who took the initiative to contact him were sent by DSN.

Then Alex came with a team of lawyers and communicated with Steven.

Alex knew that Chen Cao and Steven had a relationship.

After all, on Little Greene's birthday last time, Alex was also there.

In the afternoon, Chen Cao and the lawyer team went to the place where they had made an appointment with Nafa Tangen.

Nafa Donn is so depressed that he doesn't even have a lawyer.

He is also holding on now, and if he continues like this, he will either die at the hands of loan sharks or compromise with DSN.

But now Chen Cao has come out to cut off his beard, so there is nothing to do with DSN.

Negotiations began, and Nafa Donn directly offered a package price of $800 million.

Chen Cao greeted directly and asked the people in the lawyer group to pack up and leave.

Just kidding, this thing is taking itself as a wronged person.

The initiative is in Chen Cao's hands, and the negotiation will be easy.

Chen Cao's bottom line for Alex is that the negotiations can collapse, but they can't pay a dime more.

Chen Cao is a capitalist, and Nafa Tangen is also a capitalist.

Talking about feelings between capitalists and capitalists, talking about the feelings of a fart.

With Chen Cao's words, Alex has much more confidence.

Because for Chen Cao, at most, it is just to make less money.

Chen Cao can not earn this hard-earned money.

But Nafa Donn can't.

If this negotiation does not work out, then he must accept the exploitation of the DSN.

And the money given by DSN is simply not enough to pay off his debts.

For him, the bottom line now is to pay off his debts.

The negotiations are very stale, and the psychological price of the two sides is different, of course, stalemate.

However, the initiative has always been on Chen Cao's side, and with so many people in Alex and the lawyer team, it is even stronger.

Nafa Donn is difficult to support alone, because Chen Cao has always bitten the bottom line price.

That's the same bottom line as Nafa Donn's debt, but it's just a little close.

"Mr. Chen, I can sign that agreement, but I want the price to be raised to $700 million. ”

"It's impossible, I can't come up with that much money. Chen Cao shook his head: "If you are not sincere, then our negotiations will end here." ”

"Mr. Chen, as long as I pay back the money and redeem 30% of the shares of Marina Restaurant, I am willing to sell it to you in full, and I will sell it to you at the lowest price. Nafa Donn said through gritted teeth.

Chen Cao's heart moved, if this is the case, it is not that he can't consider it.

"If you add a 30% stake in Marina's Restaurant, $700 million can be considered. ”
