Chapter 331 Negotiation
Just walked into the building of Hanhai Film and Television Investment Company, Zhao Mingsheng's secretary immediately greeted him.
"Mr. Zhao, Deputy Director Peng just called and said that he will bring some foreign guests here soon. Let us welcome them."
Zhao Mingsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I see. Yunhai, let's wait here for a while."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay."
Five minutes later, a luxury business car slowly drove to the front of the building.
Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yunhai immediately went out and welcomed them into the company's reception room.
After the introduction, Xiao Yunhai had a preliminary understanding of them.
Headed by Japan's Qingyan Film and Television Company and South Korea's gm Entertainment Company, there are other excellent film and television companies in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries.
The staff made a pot of tea for everyone, and Zhao Mingsheng said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your optimism about our "Amazing Heart" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and being able to travel thousands of miles to China to introduce these two TV series. We are very flattered. I hope that the next negotiation will be satisfactory to everyone.”
With a smile on his face, Fujitagawa of Qingyan Film and Television Company said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xiao, I have already watched these two TV series when I was in China, and they are definitely rare masterpieces. I heard that When it was broadcast on Huaxia TV, it also received very high ratings. Therefore, our Qingyan Film and Television Co., Ltd. decided to introduce "Step by Step" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan."
Kim Chang-wook of gm Entertainment took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xiao, this time we came to buy these two TV series with great sincerity. If you're polite, let's just stop talking and go directly to the show. Get it right."
Zhao Mingsheng smiled and said, "Mr. Jin's words are exactly what I want. I wonder how much you are going to pay to buy these two dramas?"
Kim Chang-wook said, "We sat down and discussed it.
One million for each episode of "Scarlet Heart", and one million for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" for one episode, we think this price is very suitable. "
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yunhai snorted and laughed.
Peng Ximao frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Fujitagawa said: "Mr. Xiao thinks this price is funny?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back just now, and I lost my temper. When you come here, you should have a certain understanding of "Boo Bu Jing Xin" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It is the investment that adds up to 900 million. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you want to buy 900 million TV dramas at a price of more than 100 million? "
Jin Changxu said: "Mr. Xiao, you have to know that our countries are far worse than China in any aspect. The benefits of your country's viewership reaching 1% may cost more in our country. 10% or even 20% can be achieved. It is very difficult for a TV series to have such ratings, so I hope Mr. Xiao can understand."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Jin's words are a bit biased. I remember that you have a TV series called "The Sun Tribe" that achieved a miracle of 35% of the ratings in your country, and the advertising cost reached an astonishing 20%. 300 million Huaxia coins. This kind of income is much higher than our Huaxia. It is even higher in Japan, I am right."
Fujitagawa and Jin Changxu looked at each other and said, "Mr. Xiao, it seems that you know our country very well. I don't know what price you are going to ask to sell the two TV series to us?"
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "As Mr. Jin said, the national conditions of different countries are different, so naturally it is impossible to treat them with the same standard. Maybe a TV series worth several hundred million in Japan can be placed in other countries, and it may not even reach tens of millions. So, I would like to be able to talk to you individually instead of making a total price like you do."
Just kidding, the price they offered is really too low. Evenly divided, each country only needs to spend 20 million to buy a TV series with an investment of 900 million. What is the difference between this and Ming Gun.
Xiao Yunhai's words made everyone look at each other, and at the same time they felt that this Xiao Yunhai was not easy to deal with.
Fujitagawa looked at Peng Ximao and said, "Director Peng, we used to do this when we introduced TV dramas. I wonder when your country changed the rules?"
"Don't be impatient, we have never changed the rules." Peng Ximao frowned and said to Xiao Yunhai, "Mr. Xiao has never been involved in the introduction of TV dramas, so he may not be very clear. For a TV series, they all pay the total price. Buy it, and then divide it according to the proportion. If you do this, you will break the rules of the film and television industry.”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Businessmen seek profit. Countries do this just for the sake of profit. At first glance, TV shows seem to be very expensive, but in fact, one cent in eight or nine countries is the price of cabbage. I don't care about others. But my TV shows aren't that cheap."
Peng Ximao looked at Xiao Yunhai's firm eyes and knew that it was impossible to open the gap from him, so he turned his head and said to Zhao Mingsheng: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xiao is young, I don't know the depth of it, you are an old man in the entertainment industry, you should Understand. You won't forget what I said before, will you?"
Zhao Mingsheng said: "Director Peng, please be considerate of us too. The TV series worth 900 million yuan sold to so many countries only got more than 100 million yuan. Is there such a deal in the world?"
Peng Ximao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The price can be discussed, but the way of buying and selling cannot be changed."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Peng doesn't need to put pressure on President Zhao. As long as I don't sign the contract, it will be a piece of waste paper. Besides, the copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has hundreds of other copyrights besides me and President Zhao. Thirty percent of it lies with Yuexian. If I sell it at such a price, I have no face to inform her, and she will definitely not sign it."
Peng Ximao suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Xiao, many things need to be considered from the overall situation."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "If it's about the national sports, don't say more than 100 million yuan, even if you let me give it, I have nothing to say. But now it's just two TV series, and it doesn't seem to affect the national level. Xiao Yunhai is not a fool, he wants to take advantage of me, I'm sorry, that's really the wrong person."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Peng Ximao was furious, stood up, pointed at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Xiao Yunhai, this matter concerns the Film and Television Bureau and the Ministry of Culture, you must be responsible for your words."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Even if the Minister of Culture came over in person, I would say the same. I don't believe it anymore. Could it be that this kind of thing can't be forced."
"You..." Peng Ximao trembled angrily and said, "You are too presumptuous."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Director Peng is serious. There is no problem with my words. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to comment."
Seeing that Peng Ximao couldn't seem to win Xiao Yunhai, Fujitagawa hurriedly pretended to be a peacemaker and said, "Don't hurt the peace. Do you want to do business? It's better to make money with peace."
Xiao Yunhai clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Mr. Fujita's Chinese language is good. I don't know what everyone thinks about my proposal? If you don't agree, then forget it. As the saying goes, there is no righteousness in business, and there may be cooperation in the future. opportunity."
Jin Changxu frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao must do this?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course."
Fujitagawa and Jin Changxu looked at each other, got up at the same time, and said, "I'm sorry, we can't accept this purchase method, and the negotiation ends here."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'll let you all run for nothing. If you change your mind, you can go to Mr. Zhao directly. I'll be very busy next time, and I don't think I have time to deal with this matter. Excuse me. Everyone, please."
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai was really not ready to talk, Peng Ximao said coldly, "Mr. Xiao, it seems that you really took my words this morning on your ears."
Xiao Yunhai looked at Peng Ximao with eyes like swords, and said, "Director Peng, you don't need to do this. If you don't sell it, you won't sell it. Believe it or not, as long as they get out of here now, "Better Steps" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" There will be no interaction with them in the future.”
"Not only that, I have to go to the film and television bureau to ask your director, why do you put pressure on us and blatantly interfere in our business transactions. Who gave you such rights? Is it you you who have lost the benefits? The film and television bureau is responsible for making up for us?"
From Peng Ximao's series of performances, Xiao Yunhai deduced that Xiao Yuanyang was right, and he definitely played a role in it. If it had nothing to do with him, Peng Ximao would definitely not be so angry.
Hearing that Xiao Yunhai was going to the Film and Television Bureau to ask for an explanation, a trace of panic flashed in Peng Ximao's eyes. Fortunately, he can become the deputy director of the Film and Television Bureau, and his mental quality is still good. In just an instant, it was back to normal.
Next to him, Jin Changxu laughed and said, "Director Peng and Mr. Xiao, it's just a business deal. We can't tell whether it's successful or not. Why bother with such a rage."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm very unhappy today. The story of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Shooting Heart" has ended, no matter how high your price is in the future, I won't sell it. Okay, This matter is settled like this, I will go to the film and television bureau now. I don’t believe it anymore, is there no reason to reason in the world?”
After speaking, Xiao Yunhai walked out angrily.
Peng Ximao was shocked, and quickly gave Jin Changxu and Fujitagawa a wink.
The two also knew the seriousness of the matter, and the secret relationship between them and Peng Ximao might be exposed as a result, so they quickly grabbed Xiao Yunhai's arm and kept persuading them.
There was chaos in the reception room.
Zhao Mingsheng saw that the acting was almost done, so he said: "Yunhai, forget it, don't bother the film and television bureau with this trivial matter. Ladies and gentlemen, this kid is young and energetic and can't bear the slightest grievance, please don't mind. As for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Jingxin," forget it, we won't sell it."
Seeing that two such excellent TV dramas are about to fail, and eager to get rid of the domestic predicament, Prasong Sawang Susi, the head of Thailand's Tobong Film and Television Company, said in exceptionally fluent Chinese: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zhao, we are Tobong Film and Television. The company is willing to talk to the two of you individually, and please give us this opportunity.”
"Basun, you..."
Seeing that there was a problem in his team, Jin Changxu was shocked and angry, and even Fujitagawa, who had been smiling all the time, changed his face.
Ba Song folded his hands together and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, our Toho Film and Television Company is not in a good position and urgently needs to introduce these two excellent TV series. Therefore, I can only apologize to everyone."
Xiao Yunhai was overjoyed when he saw the split among them, and said, "Mr. Basong, you are still sincere. You can rest assured that we will set the price according to the actual situation of your country, and we will never let you suffer."
Bassong said happily, "Thank you so much."
With the revolt of the Thai film and television company, the heads of other national film and television companies saw that things were not good, and they agreed one after another. They are not much better than the Toho Group.
If it is really good in China, it is impossible to come all the way to China to introduce TV dramas.
Jin Changxu and Fujitagawa didn't expect everyone to be frightened by Xiao Yunhai's words, they looked at each other and sighed in their hearts: "As expected, they are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. Hey, the situation is over."
Zhao Mingsheng was overjoyed when he saw this situation, looked at Jin Changxu and Fujitagawa, and said, "I don't know what the two of you mean?"
Jin Changxu forced a smile: "I need to report to the company headquarters."
Fujitagawa said, "Me too."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "The two of you better hurry up. I'm going to Hengdian tomorrow, and I don't have much time to waste on these two TV series."
Jin Changxu and Fujitagawa's expressions changed at the same time, and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about the price first, and then report back."
In the afternoon, Zhao Mingsheng and Xiao Yunhai negotiated with them respectively, and finally got a contract of 800 million yuan. The two companies in Japan and South Korea contributed 150 million yuan each.
Peng Ximao left angrily.
