Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry - Chapter 581
When Brian met Chen Feng again, it was already early July.
Seeing Chen Feng again, Brian found that Chen Feng seemed more silent and calm than before. This feeling gave Brian a bad feeling.
Because most of the time, when discussing cooperation projects with others, the other party will generally appear eager and excited.
After all, he represents a super-large company like Aaron Ge. If they can take a fancy to a project, it will basically succeed and make a lot of money.
Therefore, no one will be excited about this.
Even the first Chen Feng was the same. When talking about the cooperation project “Avatar” for the first time, he was full of longing and yearning, with boundless enthusiasm and expectation.
Unfortunately, after Brian euphemistically stated the content of the conditions given by Pierce, Chen Fenglian did not give him the opportunity to negotiate, and directly chose to refuse.
For this, Bryan also felt very sorry, but Pierce was in charge of all this at the time, and he had no room for maneuver.
But this time is different. Now Paul is suddenly promoted, and the head office seems to be very supportive of this project, so there is room for negotiation. As long as you communicate with Chen Feng, you may be able to cooperate successfully. .
However, after returning, Brian also went to learn about the recent situation of the Chinese film market.
Then he learned that in May, a movie called “Tai囧” invested by Chen Feng was released, and it got a box office score of 1.8 billion!
This is really amazing. When Chen Feng was preparing for “Avatar”, he actually invested in “Tai囧” at the same time and successfully made a large profit.
If this guy keeps developing like this, it may gradually grow to a terrifying level.
This puts Brian under more pressure.
…
Sure enough, just as Brian expected, he sat down with Chen Feng again. Although Chen Feng was still polite to him, he didn’t seem to care very much about the upcoming negotiations.
Without that kind of passion and excitement, on the contrary, it is a rock-solid state of mind.
Such people are the most difficult to deal with.
However, Brian gritted his teeth and began a formal discussion with Chen Feng.
Regarding the “Avatar” project, although Aarongo has now paid more attention to it, the company’s inherent rules are not so easy to break.
Like many overseas projects, Aarongo has to use the least investment in such cooperative projects in exchange for the greatest return, and sometimes even deprives the other party of some overseas copyrights and even the dominance of works.
The standards that Pierce put forward are almost the highest.
Even in this case, there are still many people willing to cooperate with Aaron Ge.
There is no way, Aaron is too strong and will definitely be in a strong position. Whatever people say, they must do something.
There are not many people like Chen Feng who can directly refuse.
For this reason, although Bryan has lowered the requirements for relevant conditions this time, he was flabbergasted when he thought of Chen Feng’s reaction during the first negotiation.
“Yes, Aaron Ge’s most advanced technology assets are generally not open to overseas projects, but because the “Avatar” project is really good, Aaron Ge also agreed to cooperate, but because Aaron has paid his own brand influence and the most advanced film technology, so he must account for 40% of the investor level, and there are some overseas copyright ownership issues…”
After Chen Feng quietly listened to Bryan’s explanation of Aaron’s conditions, he gently shook his head.
“The conditions are still too much.”
Brian quickly said: “Mr. Chen, this is really not too much. You have to know that when our Aaron Ge cooperates with other overseas projects, the conditions will be stricter. Relatively speaking, these are already very low standards. If you can, I think you can learn about other cases.”
Chen Feng continued to shake his head.
“No need…I don’t care what other people are. Those have nothing to do with me.”
After a pause, Chen Feng looked at Brighton strangely.
“Actually, I always think that I just want to use your technology to cooperate with you. You can clearly mark the price according to the market price and make the special effects of the complete film. How much do you need to pay? You give me a bill and I pay. Already? Why do we have to seize our investment share? Even if you think that your technology is the most advanced, you need more money, but why do you have to invest in technology? If the film loses, you will lose even more?”
After hearing Chen Feng’s words, Brian smiled bitterly.
“Of course everyone understands such a simple truth, but since we survive in the film industry, we must find ways to expand our influence. Technology is only our tool, but what we want most is not only to make money, but also to ourselves In the end, we are not a technology company, but a cultural company…”
After listening, Chen Feng sighed silently.
“Well, it makes sense… However, the same can be applied to any company that is serious about making movies… Moreover, the technology is always evolving, and the advanced technology nowadays may be ordinary in a few years… …I also have the patience to wait…”
“By the way, in a few days, in mid-July, another sci-fi movie that we invested in will be released again. If you have time, you can wait a few days to see it. It’s wonderful.”
…
Sure enough, as expected, the negotiations this time ended without any results.
Brother Aaron’s request was still too high, and Chen Feng was unlikely to accept it.
“It seems ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Aaron will not easily open up his technology to outsiders, we have to plan early.”
After Bryan left, Tao Xianzhi, the translator next to him, shook his head at Chen Feng.
In the process of negotiation just now, Tao Xianzhi has tried his best to make the conditions and requirements of both parties very soft, but because of the large gap, it is still impossible to reach an agreement for the time being.
Chen Feng nodded.
“Yes, I’m ready to wait a few more years, but yesterday, several companies in Europe also sent invitations. Let’s take a look when we have time.”
“Ok, no problem!”
Although the technical level of several special effects companies in Europe is not as good as the top companies in Hao Laiwu, they are not too bad. If you can, you can find them for cooperation.
These companies are provided by Mike and James. At present, their company has started the “Wandering Earth 2” project, and it is not too much to help Chen Feng.
