At China Film's call, Lionsgate Pictures quickly arranged for someone to come to the door, and he was the company's second-in-command. To China Film, Lionsgate is a small independent production company, and the status of the two parties is seriously unequal. If it were not for Qu Li's request,

, will not consider it at all.

Why does Naquli know about Lionsgate Pictures? It’s not because this company later grew into the best film company after the Big Six in Hollywood, nor is it because of their cooperation with Electro-optical Media.

It's because a Chinese director filmed the low-budget "Saw" the year before last. This horror film earned hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office at a cost of $1.2 million. Prior to this, Lionsgate, which focused on B-level movies,

It has also released films such as "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "American Psycho" that have achieved both box office and critical success.

Qu Li's English level is not high, but with the help of a translator, he is no longer afraid.

"Hello, I know you. Recently, many media in North America have been reporting on you, a talented young man from China. Your method of defeating Microsoft and Intel has been recognized by many people in Silicon Valley." Brian Goldsmith

"Really, then I'm so happy that someone finally recognizes my random thoughts."

"That's not a random thought. In fact, someone has already done it, and it has become a listed company."

"Oh, really, I don't know yet."

"Of course, the name of this company is Salesforce, but you need to understand the specific situation yourself."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much."

Then everyone began to discuss "Comet". Before that, they had made a rough translation and showed it to Brian on the computer with subtitles.

"This movie does have selling points, we can give it a try." Brian did not hesitate for long and quickly agreed to let "Comet" be released on a large scale in the United States.

Under the witness of China Film, the two parties reached a relatively fair distribution agreement, with a 15% distribution share and a payment of US$1.5 million in promotional expenses, mainly for screening and word-of-mouth marketing, of which Qu Li was responsible for 500,000.

Because he faced huge distribution risks, Qu Li paid China Film an additional 1 million soft sister coins as a reward, which was regarded as a nominal fee. China Film was also responsible for supervising whether Lionsgate was lining its own pockets. If everything went well, Lionsgate would earn 1.5 million US dollars.

We have to be careful about the distribution costs, and if we want to continue to cooperate with China Film, we have to do things more beautifully this time.

The domestic box office of "Comet" has a share of 4.75 million. After deducting 250,000 (accounting) costs, there is still 4.5 million. Bad Monkey pays about 5% personal tax, and there is still 4.3 million. This money will be received before the end of the year.

.Sold Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan copyrights and revenue rights to China Film, of which 1 million was remuneration, the remaining US$450,000 was given to Lions Gate, and the remaining US$50,000 was the cost of Qu Li's video production and promotion on YouTube.

The international copyright of "Comet" was sold to a leather bag company owned by Qu Li in Hong Kong, so it has little to do with the country, and it will be unclear when the time comes.

Under this model, Quli and Lionsgate share the risk. If the box office performance in North America is not good in the end, it is likely that all the money will be wasted or the promotion fee will be recovered, so China Film will not have any risk at all.

After many days of delay, he was finally able to leave for Yangcheng. This time he had another harvest in Beijin. Lin Bing finally agreed to leave his job at the end of the year and start a business with him. Knowing that Qu Li was leaving, he had met him two or three times in the past few days.

Zhou Shaoning asked him to meet again.

"If I join, will you worry about being left out?" Zhou Shaoning didn't know if he was possessed by evil spirits. He was first encouraged by Ma Yun to do logistics, but now he was tempted by Qu Li and actually wanted to start a business with him. Could it be that he wanted to start a business with him?

Can't compare to a junior high school student?

"..." Qu Li was very hesitant and confused after hearing this. Is he really the son of destiny? Forget about Lin Bing, he is an engineer, but Zhou Shaoning is a professional manager.

"It's a lie that you don't worry. I don't know how much you trust me. Do you simply believe in the direction I have chosen, or do you believe in my abilities? Do you want to compete with me for power, or do you really want to do this well?"

"What's the difference?" Zhou Shaoning asked.

"I don't know." Qu Li said in embarrassment. This is like Ali CEO Zhang Yong suddenly resigning and saying that he wants to start a business with a small company owner. It is a test for everyone.

"How many shares do you want? Invest as a founder, or with venture capital."

"Which method do you think is more suitable?" Zhou Shaoning

"The venture capital offer will be discounted by 30%, with a maximum of 10%, with exit restrictions, and the shares will be recycled at a discount within a certain number of years." Qu Li quickly gave a solution. If he didn't agree, then he wouldn't do it. He couldn't be a major shareholder and couldn't make a decision.

As for the direction of business management, he might as well invest in Dog Dong and become Brother Dong's brother.

"I want to think about it." This time Zhou Shaoning did not agree easily.

"Okay, I will start formal negotiations with Sequoia and IDG after I return to Yangcheng. We can do it at any time before they make a quotation."

"I understand." Zhou Shaoning knew that his joining was a double-edged sword for Qu Li. Even if he didn't take the initiative, he might occupy the magpie's nest with the promotion of venture capital. But in the eyes of venture capital, it would enhance Wan Heihei's success.

The probability will even increase the valuation of Wan Hei Hei.

In this way, Qu Li returned to Yangcheng with full of thoughts. Even if these two big guys join, there are still many things to consider in the future, such as the choice of headquarters. Beijin is an education center and a talent distribution center in the country. There are many people

I just want to stay in Beijin and don't want to go south.

Xiong Ge and Shen Nanpeng had arrived in Yangcheng a long time ago. Chen Danlin was responsible for receiving them and introducing the company's situation. There was nothing to hide. Wan Hehei's most important asset was not the three online stores now, but Quli's brain.

thoughts inside.

"You're finally done." Xiong Ge expressed his dissatisfaction tactfully. It was a problem for entrepreneurs to have too many ideas and not be able to focus on the business. If Qu Li hadn't been so amazing, he would have really wanted to give up.

"There is no way. If you want to use the lowest cost for publicity, some things are unavoidable." Qu Li is not busy, he is advertising for his company and brand.

With the announcement of the Xiangyun Torch for the Olympic Games, Qu Li's Xiangyun Men's Clothing was born. The sales of the online store have increased dramatically these days, surpassing Danlin Women's Clothing Store. This is proof of the successful formation.

Xiong Ge said not to dwell on it anymore. He was investing in people. Since he chose to believe it, he should believe it to the end and give him a chance to prove it.

"To be honest, your current company doesn't have many bright spots..." Shen Nanpeng

"In addition to the super high revenue, you are more profitable than I thought. You can definitely recruit people to build the website yourself..."

"I want to lay a solid foundation. If you choose to make do with it from the beginning, it will be more difficult to change later. It is better to adopt higher standards in core departments from now on."

"Have you found the talent you're looking for?"

"One has already been decided, and the other is still being hesitated."

"Who?" Shen Nanpeng

"Lin Bing, Director of Engineering at Microsoft Research Asia!"

"Who?" Xiong Ge

"Lin Bing, Director of Engineering at Microsoft Research Asia!"

Shen Nanpeng and Xiong Ge looked at each other, this person's level of deception is too high!
