Chapter 250 The Gambling Agreement

Chen An smiled when he heard this and said, "Beautiful."

"They asked me to come back to discuss it with you, but I think you don't seem to want to discuss it." Gao Mulin hugged his shoulders and said.

"Please help me make an appointment with them tomorrow. The movie must be on the Lantern Festival, so it's useless for anyone to come." Chen An said in a calm tone, but very firmly.

The next day, Gao Mulin brought Chen An to Wanmo, and the conference room was still filled with familiar old faces.

"Teacher Chen, I have long admired your name." Zhang Wen stood up and extended his hand.

"Hello, you are too polite." Chen An said with the same smile.

Gao Mulin looked at the smiling tiger with cold eyes and smiled with disdain from the bottom of his heart.

"Sit down, Mu Lin should have told you everything about the movie." Zhang Wen said.

"I told you, but it's not a good idea to release it on June 1st." Chen An shook his head.

"If you really don't want to release it on June 1st, we can take a step back and change it to another schedule, but it cannot be during the Spring Festival."

"I have never seen anyone put on a cartoon during the Spring Festival. It is no different from committing suicide." Zhang Wen pondered for a moment and said.

"Shouldn't the quality of a movie speak for itself? As long as we have confidence in the quality of the movie, it doesn't matter when it is released. Is it possible that a bad movie can be a box office hit if it is picked at a good time?"

"I personally feel that this idea is not right, what do you think?" Chen An raised his head after hearing this.

Zhang Wen was choked up and didn't know what to say, so he turned to say: "Teacher Chen, since you said that, have you ever understood the market?"

"Do you know how big the market for your cartoons is and how many people are paying attention to it?"

"No matter how good your photography is, the market is only a little bit small, and there are many divisions for the Spring Festival, so what is left?"

Hearing this, Chen An couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's good. In fact, I really understand the animation market."

"The domestic animation market can be said to be a piece of shit. The highest revenue earned by an animation movie was only 230 million, and that was only a supply-oriented animation movie."

"If it weren't for these children and their parents, we probably wouldn't even be able to recover the cost."

"There is even more criticism in China about 3D animation. None of them are worth mentioning. Most of them are doing some shameful things in the name of 3D animation."

"For example, a certain 3D animation that claimed to have invested 30 million yuan, but when it came out, the characters were stiff and the faces were dull, just like an intern worth 2,000 yuan."

"As for why it claims to have invested 30 million, it should be just to defraud subsidies and get kickbacks, so everyone is quite disappointed with domestic 3D animation."

When Chen An said this, he changed the topic and said: "There are many animation fans in China, but the domestic market is too rubbish. I just want to change the status quo of domestic animation."

"I think The Origin of White Snake has this quality, and it has a chance to compete with those New Year films."

"I will not change my mind. The movie must be released during the Lantern Festival. There is no room for negotiation."

The shareholders couldn't help but click their tongues after hearing this. They didn't expect Chen An to be so determined, and Zhang Wen even frowned.

"Teacher Chen, let me tell you the truth, the money was provided by Wanmo. We are shareholders of Wanmo, which means that the movie we made with the money we provided is impossible for us to watch the movie die during the Spring Festival and not even be able to recoup the cost.

I hope you understand." Although Zhang Wen's tone was kind, he also said firmly.

Chen An couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said: "Actually, in the final analysis, it's just about money. It has nothing to do with whether you like this movie or not, right?"

"You can understand it that way." Although Zhang Wen didn't want to speak so clearly, he could only say.

"Well, let's not waste it here, it's just money."

"If The Origin of the White Snake is released during the Lantern Festival and the final box office does not exceed one billion, how about I take out 20% of my commission and give you the money to make up for it?" Chen An pointed his finger at the table and looked at the crowd.

The shareholders immediately looked at each other after hearing this. Look at me and look at you. This condition is very generous. With the 20% subsidy, even if they lose money, they won't be able to lose anything.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wen at this time. He was the backbone of this place and he was the one who took the lead in provoking the whole thing. Of course, it depends on what he meant.

Zhang Wen thought about it in his mind for a long time, and finally said: "Teacher Chen, since you are so insistent, I won't stop you, and I will do as you say."

Anyway, no matter what the box office is, they won't lose money, so why not do it.

Unexpectedly, Chen An raised a smile at this moment and said: "Director Zhang, we have finished negotiating the conditions for a box office loss, but we haven't discussed the conditions for a big box office hit yet?"

"I can't lose and pay for it myself, and win everyone's share. How can there be such a good thing in this world? What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the shareholders who were secretly proud suddenly froze. They were originally very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation, but they never expected that Chen An had not finished his words at all.

Zhang Wen was stunned when he heard this. He held it in for a long time before he said, "What do you mean?"

"Using one billion as the limit, 20% of the profit from betting."

"If it doesn't exceed, I'll give you 20%. If it does, you give me 20%. This condition is fair, right?" Chen An leaned back on his chair and said.

No one said anything when they heard this, and Gao Mulin couldn't help but chuckle.

I really thought that Mr. Chen was a soft persimmon. It would be extremely difficult to take away 20% of the profit from him. This time, these old guys who were running amok in the company had encountered a serious problem.

Chen An is now at the negotiating table, and he seems to have begun to take on the attitude of being anti-customer. Many shareholders are now whispering to each other, discussing what to do.

Chen An was not in a hurry, just looked at them with a smile, "You guys, I can't cure you anymore."

Zhang Wen discussed with everyone for a long time, and finally looked at Chen An and said, "Teacher Chen, we cannot agree to this condition."

"Why?" Chen An asked.

"The money we give you when the box office is low, and the money we give out when the box office is high, may seem like 20%, but they are fundamentally different. If it really reaches one billion, the money we give out is much more than what you give us.

.”

"The conditions are not equal at all, how can we agree?" Zhang Wen said.

What Zhang Wen said was right. Of course Chen An knew it, but he didn't argue on this issue. Instead, he said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hey, that's not right. You obviously don't like this movie and think he is cannon fodder. Why do you suddenly think that the box office has exceeded one billion?"

"Is it possible that what you said before were all lies? In fact, you are still optimistic about this movie and think it can definitely exceed one billion. So why don't you agree with us to release it during the Spring Festival?"
