Chapter 1047 New Partner

Making blockbusters is the most effective way to drive the film industry. To produce a qualified blockbuster, at least the aspects of the costumes, crafts, special effects, landscaping and other aspects must keep up with the standards.

Landscape creation is originally one of the costs of movies.

Chen Qi has accumulated over the years and wants to use several blockbusters to build a demonstration zone for the film and television industry, but he doesn’t want to pay or take out a loan. He has to reduce the burden on the country. Who pays the money?

Colombia!

"Myth" costs $35 million, a considerable part of it will be invested in construction. If it is not enough, then another one will be made! And all he has paid for is North American copyright, and this film and television base belongs to him.

First, we will use five years to build a demonstration zone for the film and television industry, including movies, TV series, animations; games, comics and electronic industries will be placed in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta to reform the film system, open up the domestic commercial film market, and introduce external films to the public account. This is Chen Tan’s “First Five Plan” for the development of cultural undertakings!

Using American/Japanese money to develop yourself is second only to the White House stock god.

I heard that the White House stock god made another profit.

…………

Colombia is unconventional.

Chen Qi used it as an experimental field and would write some bad movie scripts or experimental scripts under the pen name. He was not sure how commercial value this story has, and he could hand it over to Colombia for filming.

Cold Knowledge: Western writers also have a pseudonym. For example, Mark Twain is the pseudonym, which comes from the term "sailors measure water depth" and means: water depth is 12 feet.

In addition, he also needs to find a fixed long-term partner to produce normal works.

The Big 7 Hollywood and MGM have no distribution capabilities. The rest of Universal, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Warner, and Disney are all eyeing Oriental and taking turns to discuss.

Chen Qi is also choosing them.

For example, Global will be acquired by Panasonic for US$6.1 billion next year, and then it will be reselled several times, which is not very stable.

Fox, Paramount is pretty good, and has no help.

Disney and Warner can talk about it carefully.

Chen Qi's first sight was Disney President Michael Eisner, who is famous and has brought Disney out of the quagmire.

Let me put it this way, Disney cartoons were also defined as children's movies in the United States. Through marketing, Michael Eisner successfully turned cartoons into family-friendly movies.

He used digital technology to speed up the production cycle of animated films and vigorously promoted video tapes. However, he did not cooperate with video tape distributors, but cooperated with retail giants like Walmart to put video tapes in supermarkets, and with a global strategy, Disney's video tape revenue is the number one among all Hollywood companies.

He has been in charge of Disney for 20 years, bringing revenue from US$1.6 billion to RMB30.8 billion. He is an awesome person, but it is precisely because of his awesomeness that he is arbitrary and arrogant.

The two met and were pleasant at first, but soon there was a dispute.

To be precise, there was a dispute over the "movie peripheral products". Chen Qi said: "About "Jurassic Park", I also want to develop toys, games and other peripherals, and I want to use your channel to release it."

“Where is the copyright?”

“Copyrights are divided equally!”

"No, no! We are co-production of the movie, we are responsible for marketing, and we are also responsible for the sale surroundings. As a result, we only share half of the copyright, which is too unfair. We all want copyright, and we can give you a certain proportion of the profit."

"The surrounding area I developed is not the kind of simple toys, and we invest a lot of money. I will also make some movies suitable for the development surrounding area, so we have the opportunity to cooperate for a long time."

"I'm sorry, peripherals and copyrights are what I value the most. And you have too many conditions. For example, "Jurassic Park" must not delete Chinese elements. I think whether to delete or modify depends on the director's opinions and specific circumstances."

Disney started out by selling peripherals and knows the profits of this thing very well.

Michael Eisner doesn't want to divide the copyright. Disney and Nintendo have the same virtue, so how could he call the strongest legal department in the East and West Hemispheres?

Finally, he stated: "We are willing to release your movies and are willing to charge only 25% agency fees. But if it involves peripheral development, Disney must be the leader, and this cannot be negotiated!"

"It seems we can't reach an agreement, it's a pity!" Chen Qi shook his head.

"It's really a pity! I heard that you are going to enter the game industry and are about to sue. I would like to advise you that it is very risky to build a full-chain industry with the scale of Oriental Company."

"You don't have to worry about this!"

The two shook hands and parted in disagreement.

…………

Only one day apart.

Chen Qi met with Warner President Semer again.

The abstraction of Warner senior executives is in line with each other, and they always make many inexplicable operations, but they have a strong foundation and good luck. Whenever they lose a lot, a film will be saved. They urgently need to win over a strong and stable manufacturer, and Oriental Company is like customized in all aspects.

Chen Qi put forward his needs as usual and said: "In addition to movies and videotapes, I will carry out peripheral development in the future. We will share copyright, jointly market and share income."

"In addition, I want to direct "Jurassic Park" with Spielberg, keeping Chinese elements, and I will be a producer, or one of the producers."

“These two requirements?”

"Yes!"

Semer had agreed in his heart, but he didn't want to make himself seem too anxious and asked, "Then what can you bring to us?"

"I don't need to talk about production anymore. I'll say something extra..."

Chen Qi smiled and said, "For example, you can become the first overseas company to enter China to adopt the accounting sharing model!"

Hiss!

Semer trembled. The Chinese market is underdeveloped, but the population is large! It is completely worth cultivating.

It is no secret that Chen Qi's status as a state-owned enterprise cadre in Hollywood. Semer couldn't help asking: "Have you gone to talk to Disney? Why did they refuse?"

"Don't mention it, that guy wants to make a copyright unwilling to let go."

"Disney is like that, OK! Mr. Chen! Although Warner has no experience in developing peripherals, we are also about to do this business. This is a market with a lot of profits and we are interested in giving it a try."

"It's okay, I don't have much experience. I think trust is the foundation. As long as we trust each other, we will definitely be able to achieve something. To be honest, if Colombia hadn't changed hands, I would have worked well with Price."

"Ha ha!"

Semer stood up and reached out and smiled, "We at Warner Pictures are very willing to reach a five-year cooperation plan with you. We hope that we can all develop well and trust each other in these five years."

“Happy cooperation!”

Chen Qi shook hands with him and decided on his new partner.
Chapter completed!
