ps: Please ask for a monthly ticket if you are weak, what if you can get a few more tickets. You feel a little uncomfortable in front of you. The one above has gone away, and the one below has touched the chrysanthemums and birds! Please thank you all!
This sentence even more exposes William Campbell's ambitions. Moreover, he really guessed it correctly. "The Magic Apprentice" has more than five parts, but seven parts. In addition to the first and second episodes, there are as many as eight parts. Originally, Chen Jin wanted to hide a little, but he didn't expect to guess it.
As for "Impossible", there are not less than five movies in Chen Jin's plan. Among them, the second episode that was criticized by everyone, he also plans to cancel it. He will write two more outstanding movies by himself. Of course, there may be more than five movies. As long as the movie sells well, just like the "007" series, dozens of movies are not a problem.
Chen Jin originally wanted to grasp it, but he still had a lot of fantasy ideas in his head. Now he just didn't have time to sort out those things. For someone who wanted to have a bite of a fat man, as long as he was sincere, Chen Jin was happy to fulfill him and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Campbell, I am very happy to accept your kindness."
William Campbell's actions put a lot of pressure on everyone. It was obvious that this guy was planning to bleed heavily. Moreover, seeing that he and Chen Jin were singing together, it seemed that they were about to reach an agreement, and everyone was in a doubled pressure.
After saying this, Chen Jin stopped talking and was still enjoying the wine and snacks. William Campbell seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and was also drinking and tasting the snacks. Even, it seemed that at this time, he realized that the snacks on the plate were very delicious. He raised his glass to Chen Jin with a smile, "Dear King, you made this snack. I have heard everyone's praise for you a long time, and I only had the chance to taste them today. It was really delicious!"
Chen Jin also raised his glass and signaled. The two of them took a sip and said with a smile: "Thank you, dear Mr. Campbell, as a successful playboy, you always know some ways to please women, right?"
After saying that, the two of them laughed, but they made the other four very angry. Although there was no sign, they were really Yalishanda.
The first one I couldn't help but was MGM's Tyron, who also picked up the wine glass and signaled to Chen Jin, "Happy cooperation, dear king, we have had such a precedent for cooperation. This time, out of greater sincerity, I am willing to accept the contract conditions you just mentioned with William Campbell at a issuance fee of 3% below the standard baseline."
He couldn't help it, but he did not have an imbalance in his mentality. He grasped his degree very well. Everyone knows that Chen Jin would naturally not be satisfied with the conditions for MGM to win the distribution rights of "Ranstorm" and "Shipotian" at two percent below the standard baseline. He needed a lower one.
Therefore, it is impossible not to reduce it at all, but if you reduce it too much, Chen Jin wants more, and one percent is obviously a good start. Whether it is Edward or William Campbell, who seems to have a tacit understanding with Chen Jin, they both give Tyron an admirable look.
Chen Jin seemed to have not seen the eye contact between them. He smiled relaxedly and lit up the wine glass at Tyron and took a sip, but he did not say that the cooperation was pleasant. "Mr. Tyron, I don't want to repeat too much how generous the conditions just were. I think my generosity requires more sincerity."
Edward of Global finally asked, "king, you can talk about your conditions. Perhaps, we all know more about each other." This guy is very cunning. MGM's Tyron's first offer did not lose any loss. This is a public quotation period, and he can change it at any time. The important thing is that he only reduced it by one percent, and he did not let everyone get into trouble and passive. Although they are actually passive now.
But Chen Jin is different. As soon as he said it, the bottom line was exposed. Edward and the others could prescribe medicine according to the prescription and grind it slowly until the conditions were met. It is very simple. One party already has a bottom line, and the other party does not. Then, if the none party hides it well, it will definitely gain more benefits.
Of course, this lack of bottom line is not infinite. Chen Jin is very smart. He smiled and looked at everyone who seemed to be looking forward to it, shrugged, "Of course, I think we really need to know more," he thought deliberately, "Since I can guarantee the box office with certainty, I can also have the courage to give up 10% of the benefits, then, I think, I should also expect you to have 10% sincerity," he smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Everyone, what do you think?"
As soon as he said this, everyone except him was happy. Everyone frowned and complained in their hearts that this guy was indeed a lion and was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue. However, it is hard for everyone to curse Chen Jin for shamelessness. Is the business a deal? It’s all negotiated. If you give the conditions, I will cut it down.
Hello, brothers, we can naturally reach an agreement. At this time, Vlaki of Columbia Film Company stared at Chen Jin and said slowly, "But those sequels cannot guarantee anything?"
Chen Jin was even more poisonous and smiled and continued, "Mr. Vlaki, I have said it before. If you think the sequel is risky, we can consider only talking about these two current movies."
Vlaki almost suffocated to death. Although there is no guarantee afterwards, no matter how unprotected it, Chen Jin's signature is guarantee. If Chen Jin hadn't thrown out the so-called sequel, this big pie, why would everyone be so excited and suffering?
That sentence is well said, if you don’t see it, you will let go of it when you see it. How could you pinch it? More or less, it’s all the flesh on the legs of a mosquito, let alone Chen Jin is still a mosquito as big as an elephant.
At this time, Paramount's Baker smiled and shook his head, "king, I think we all have to show more sincerity. Let's give you another reasonable standard, let's consider it."
Chen Jin would not say anything again this time, and he also shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Baker, everyone, I think I have expressed my sincerity very clearly. Next, it should be the time for you to make a decision."
He shrugged, "It's getting late now. I just got off the plane and came to discuss with you. If you insist, I think we'll make another appointment."
His energetic appearance was like he had just got off the plane. It was more than a hundred times better than Edward and others who were so devastated. However, Chen Jin was obviously threatening, which meant that he could not reach an agreement.
As for talking about the next time, it's just a perfunctory sentence, it's just a perfunctory sentence, not a contract. Can you still use this to question others? He just needs to say lightly, "Oh, sorry, you know that time is tight, I've given it to the next company," because he is the controller.
It can even be imagined that Chen Jin was afraid that he would start calling other producers such as Warner, who had been eyeing him, and then he would be sent to others. In this world, if you don’t seize the business, the opportunity will be fleeting. Just like the 21st Century Fox at the time, how much money has been made so far, hasn’t you taken enough regret medicine yet?
Edward seemed to have the deepest experience, first surrendered, "Okay, king, our relationship has always been very good. In order to show my sincerity and for our friendship, I decided to drop directly from the standard baseline by five percentage points. I think we should be able to sign a contract." As he said that, he raised his glass and signaled.
The others were surprisingly calm at this time, not that they would not bid, but that they were looking at the style and seeing what Chen Jin wanted. This time, Chen Jin simply didn't even hold the wine glass, but sat upright, with his arms on the table, and the ten fingers of his hands supported each other. His expression was very serious for the first time, "Everyone, I think you haven't understood what I meant. I have emphasized the basis of our cooperation together before, which is also the premise for us to continue to work in a friendly manner in the future."
A few simple sentences stopped, but the threat is very strong. Everyone knows what the so-called cooperation means. In fact, the goal of Chen Jin and Chen Zichen discussing has been achieved, that is, the standard baseline is five percentage points lower than the standard baseline. However, when talking about business with these vampires, he naturally blackmails as much as he can. He deliberately put on a serious and unhappy attitude.
However, the opponents are all old foxes. Paramount’s Baker seemed not to be affected by his threat at this time, but instead said coldly, “king, you also understand what the basis of working together is, but your greedy attitude is simply unacceptable.”
It seems that he also began to threaten Chen Jin. If the negotiations were not possible, they would be broken up. More than half of Hollywood's big producers and publishers were present. Moreover, they were likely to join forces with others to boycott Chen Jin, so that Chen Jin's life would be difficult.
However, in fact, all this is just futile, because they cannot control the distribution channels at all, and they cannot join forces with other producers and publishers. So, how can they scare and threaten Chen Jin?
It's very simple. Distributors do not mean that they own theaters. Even if they own theaters, they are pitiful. The United States is not Hong Kong Island. Jiahe only owns one-fifth of the island. In the United States, there are countless large and large cinema chains.
There are about 4,000 cinemas in the United States now, and twenty years later, there are nearly 6,000 in different places in the United States. The reason why large producers and distributors can gain advantages in dialogue with cinemas and even control the right to speak for these cinemas is that they have countless film sources in their hands, which is the basis for the survival of a cinema.
In other words, only by mastering the source of films can you have enough voice in the theaters. At this time, the question arises, who is Chen Jin? "genius screenwriter", "billion-yuan screenwriter", and "dumping order script", fifteen movie scripts were released last year, each of which was sold well, and together they were probably no less than 4 billion US dollars.
