Chapter 32 Big Bang
"Goose Factory launched the phenomenal hit "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur", and the box office exceeded 2 billion yuan in 20 days of release"
"Goose Factory's turnaround in the film and television field, with the help of "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" is confirmed to be the strongest summer release! "
"Another proven work by Guo Fan, netizens joked that the door to domestic science fiction that was closed by "Shanghai Fortress" has been opened again. "
"Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" exploded in popularity, causing the copyrights of domestic science fiction works to be snapped up again"
The success of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur is a turnaround for Goose Factory in the field of film and television distribution and production, and they have proven their ability.
Major self-media have reported on the success of Kuala Lumpur’s past, which has boosted Kuala Lumpur’s tourism industry. Spring Airlines shows that the number of searches for air tickets to Kuala Lumpur has increased by 500%.
The number of Chinese tourists in Malaysia also increased by 50%.
Malaysia is looking for movie stars to be their tourism ambassadors.
Because of the popularity of the movie, the media in the Lion City even protested against portraying the Lion City as a place of chaos in the future.
In Chen Yuanguang's description, the Kra Canal was opened under the leadership of AI, and the Lion City and the Strait of Malacca gradually withered.
The popularity of the movie also proved the value of Chen Yuanguang's works. Goose Factory sent Jenny to negotiate with Chen Yuanguang and try to sign a long-term contract with Chen Yuanguang.
The sci-fi world regrets that it has missed another phenomenal IP. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kuala Lumpur's past can be made into a series around this background story, just like Detective Chinatown.
Of course they also got a share of the pie. The popularity of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur caused other award-winning works in the 10th Sci-Fi Rising Stars Competition to be signed by film and television companies for their copyrights.
Everyone is gambling. Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur can take in a box office of NT$2 billion in 20 days. Isn’t it too much to take the second and third prizes of the Sci-Fi Rising Stars Competition and take over NT$100 million in box office?
Science Fiction World has signed copyright agreements with two of the works, and the revenue from selling the copyrights is higher than what they would earn from selling magazines throughout the year.
So much so that they have been lamenting internally, no wonder everyone is flocking to do IP business.
"Ms. Lin, congratulations." Jenny asked Chen Yuanguang for an interview, and her heart skipped a beat when she found out it was Lin A.
Jenny hoped to meet Chen Yuanguang alone and tricked him into signing the contract.
Lin Jia is not easy to fool, or she is not sure about fooling Lin Jia at all.
Lin Jia gave a professional fake smile: "Jenny, long time no see, you look good. It seems that the movie's sales are a shot in the arm for you.
The people at the helm should be more interested in Goose Factory Pictures I have regained my confidence and feel that you are not a bunch of hopeless waste.”
Negotiation When you know that it is the other party who needs you, not you who need the other party, all you need to do is to use your momentum. Overwhelm the opponent.
Lin Jia knew that no matter how sarcastic she was to Jenny, she would never dare to be dissatisfied at all, because she could turn away at any time and sign a contract with Ahri, Guangguang, and Wanda.
All their business came to our door.
As long as there is interest, the sense of smell of capital is sharper than that of a dog.
As expected, Jenny was not angry, but her eyes dropped slightly, and then she quickly smiled and said: "We still rely on Mr. Chen's works to lay the foundation for our success this time.
We very much hope Maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Mr. Chen. "
Lin Jia said: "No problem, our cooperation is very pleasant this time, but whether we can continue to maintain such a pleasant cooperative relationship in the future depends on the sincerity of the goose factory. "
Jenny took out a contract and handed it to the other party, "Ms. Lin, this is our sincerity." She prepared two contracts in her bag, and she made up her mind from the beginning. If it's Chen Yuanguang, give him the first portion, and if it's Lin Jia, give her the second portion.
Lin Jia picked up the contract and quickly found the key points and flipped through it: "It's too long. We can't accept it for twenty years. This can be said to bind a writer's life cycle.< br>
Up to five years, we sign every five years.
The other thing is that you can’t ask for all the works. Our authorization is only for the works related to the story background of "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur"
Lin Jia went through the contracts one by one. She enjoyed the feeling of being cut with a blunt knife.
Lin Jia knew that Goose Factory would not agree to his request so easily. They would need many rounds of back-and-forth talks to come to a conclusion.
It is precisely this feeling of testing the opponent's bottom line back and forth and achieving his own goals that makes Lin Jia happy.
Lin Jia was negotiating with Goose Factory, while Chen Yuanguang returned to his home.
He only has four months to return to China this time. Two months have passed now. He will go to America for another two months. He wants to go back to spend time with his mother.
“Yuan Guang, I didn’t expect that you really have talent in writing. My mother went to watch the movie you made and bought the original book to read.
I couldn't watch the original work, but the movie was very exciting, and I even invited all my colleagues in our company to watch it. "Mother Chen smiled happily.
After she divorced Chen Yuanguang's father, she gave up the original idea of a chicken baby. She felt that it was better to be a chicken than a chicken baby, and she embarked on the path of a strong woman.
Because of this, Chen Yuanguang lived a very free childhood and youth. When he was in adolescence, he could not understand why his parents had no time to spend with him.
It was only after he reached college that he gradually understood him. The mother also has a new understanding of his father's dissoluteness.
"As long as you like it, after the movie is settled, I can get about 50 million this time, and I will give you half of it then. You don’t have to work so hard.
I can already make money to support you and your grandma and grandpa, and you can enter your retirement life early. "Chen Yuanguang said.
Chen's mother said lightly: "Do you think I can take some time off?
If I want to retire, I don’t know what to do. To be honest, I work to make my life less empty.
Keep the money you earn by yourself, I can support myself.
Yuan Guang, have you ever thought about what route you will take in the future?
Career planning, to be precise? "
Chen Yuanguang has a headache. This is also the reason why he doesn't want to go home. He doesn't want to go home and has to talk about work, the future, and such serious topics.
He doesn't know the future at all now. In which direction will it develop, and what he can affect is not just him personally, but the entire earth and the entire human society.
This topic is too huge, and he needs enough time to think about it and deduce it.
“I haven’t thought about it. There are too many choices. I need time to choose slowly. I plan to do them all. When I don’t have enough energy and have to give up a certain item, I will slowly reduce the complexity to the simplicity. "Chen Yuanguang said.
Mother Chen frowned, then relaxed after a while: "It makes sense, whether in the field of scientific research or writing, you have enough capital to be willful.
Your foundation is already very solid, you won't Like ordinary people, if you make a wrong step, you will always fall behind. "
