Chapter 24 Negotiation Expert
Jenny’s heart skipped a beat, do you have any requests that we can’t share?
“Jenny, if you want to make Yuen Kwong a star writer, I think this time “Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur” can give him the title of assistant director.
In addition, I also want to express his personal feelings. It means that he hopes to participate in the scene design. He has his own understanding of every plant and tree in his work, and he feels that what he designs is the most suitable for the scene of his work
With a name, subsequent publicity can be more impactful, do you think this is true?" Lin Jia finished.
Jenny didn't think for long: "Okay, I think it's okay, but whether Mr. Chen's design is adopted depends on the director's intention."
Lin Jia nodded: "This is natural, and another point is that we I hope it will be released in the summer season.
Yuan Guang will publish another Nature article before the summer season. He will publish two Nature articles in a row within a year, which is enough to give him the title of the strongest new scientific researcher born in 1995. .
This name is associated with science fiction works and released works, I believe it is shocking enough.
And we can give full play to the role of Jiangda, which has many well-known alumni. We can ask them to help promote it, such as Mr. Lei Junlei who has tens of millions of fans on Weibo
The reason why I chose summer vacation is because many students are on vacation during the summer vacation. When a movie adapted from a novel written by a top academic is released, everyone will naturally be interested.
I believe that many parents can be encouraged to take their children to the cinema to watch it. ”
The two suggestions made by Lin Jia were very encouraging and feasible, and they immediately caught Jenny’s mind.
Since Yusanjia BAT started the era of large investment, The entertainment track is almost a battleground for military strategists.
Goosechang Video, Baidu’s iQiyi, and Ali’s Youku Tudou.
They have also entered the film field. Ali Pictures' integration of the entertainment sector has put great pressure on the other two companies. Fortunately, Baidu has fallen behind in the mobile Internet era. It doesn't matter if it falls behind again. It's not that bad anyway. A little bit.
Jenny said: "I will think about it carefully."
Lin Jia smiled faintly and said: "Don't hesitate, you go back and report it to the superiors and they will most likely agree.
Goose Factory has faced too much pressure in film and television in the past few years. We really need a beautiful turnaround to prove Tencent’s capabilities in movies. This is the best opportunity.”
Jenny felt that the initiative had always been in the hands of the other party, and she asked rhetorically: "Oh~ The growth rate of Goose Factory's video has been increasing year after year. Youku Tudou's market share has almost been squeezed into others. The revenue of Goose Factory's entire film and television sector Growing at a rapid rate of more than 20% every year
What pressure do we have? "
Lin Jia stood up and stood in front of the other party and looked down at Jenny: "If Goose Factory had no pressure, it would not have rushed to invest in Maoyan Entertainment after the release of Wolf Warrior 2. The major shareholder behind Maoyan is Guangguang. The shareholder is Meituan, and Goose Factory came in to take over the deal at a high price.
Alibaba Pictures has been the exclusive Internet distribution platform of Wolf Warrior 2 for 2017. Last year, it invested in I Am Not the God of Medicine and successfully operated the IP of Sansheng III, realizing the assembly line production of IP.
Obviously Goose Factory holds the most IP, but it is lackluster in terms of self-made dramas and film and television investments in the film and television field. Compared with Ahri, which has big hits every year, it is not even qualified. .
If I were an executive of Goose Factory Pictures, I would be anxious too. Mark would not only look at your revenue. The reason your revenue is good is because it is backed by Goose Factory’s traffic advantage.
You now need a victory to prove your ability and compete for internal resources. This is the best opportunity, and there will be no better opportunities. ”
Mark is the chairman of Goosechang Pictures and a senior executive of the entire Goosechang Group. He is fully responsible for the platform and content business group and the interactive entertainment business group. To put it bluntly, when it comes to content and games, Goosechang is the most important
Jenny sighed: “You win, I’ll get back to you before get off work tomorrow. "She had done her homework before coming and knew the other party's age and general background, but she didn't expect that the other party could be so precise in explaining the dilemma faced by the goose factory and what they needed.
What Goose Factory needs and what their executives need are not the same thing. What Goose Factory needs is good-looking report numbers. They don’t mind how to achieve this goal, whether it is acquisition or internal cultivation. Internal cultivation is best and internal cultivation can be achieved. It also proves to the capital market the vitality of our company. If we can’t cultivate it, then acquire it.
And they definitely hope to cultivate it internally, so that they can have a lot of power to acquire mature companies. The system has matured and the room for maneuver is much smaller.
So there is just an overlap between the interests of the company and the interests of the executives and then the interests of the employees.
Lin Jia smiled when he heard Jenny's words: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
When Chen Yuanguang was immersed in research at MIT, Lin Jia was already holding his The authorization letter and the goose factory completed preliminary negotiations.
The final result of the negotiation was that they received an investment of 8 million from Goose Factory, the title of assistant director, and the opportunity to release the movie in the summer.
"That's it?" Chen Yuanguang asked. He thought Lin Jia was joking. He never thought that Lin Jia could change the profit distribution method that had been negotiated at the Goose Factory.
It's like the cake has already been cut. She ran over and said it can't be cut like this, we have to cut it again.
"Yes, that's it. Why doesn't Goose Factory agree? There are many writers, but there is only one writer with such great publicity value as you. Goose Factory's film and television section wants to make a comeback and prove that it has Why don't you have to pay a price to compete with Ah Li?
Besides, what they paid is nothing. The investment of eight million is just an investment announcement for them.
Of course, if this movie is a hit, they will probably be heartbroken." Lin Jia was very proud.
During the period from the completion of negotiations to the filming of the film, Chen Yuanguang remotely guided the work of the film's set designers. In order to design some future details, Chen Yuanguang even learned how to use drawing tools himself, and then drew the general appearance.
Ba Wendi finished reviewing the paper and submitted it at the end of May. When the paper was sent out, Ba Wendi quickly approved Chen Yuanguang’s leave application: “Wright, work and life need to be balanced.
You worked too hard before. You can take a little more rest when you go back.
Except if there is something wrong with the paper and you need to correct it, I may come to you. At other times, I will not disturb your vacation. ”
Chen Yuanguang only applied for three months, and Ba Wendi approved it for four months. It was so humane.
"There are a lot of things to do when I go back this time. First is the thesis defense, which should be completed in about a day.
Then there is the graduation ceremony, including class gatherings and some activities in the courtyard. The delay may be a little longer.< br>
Finally, the dailies have been cut before the film is sent for review. We can watch the dailies first.
The remaining time is enough for us to take a long trip." Lin Jia was on the plane back to Yanjing. Chen Yuanguang, who was sitting next to him, counted on his fingers.
