Chapter 110 Two Giants [Fifteenth Update]
The Great Qin Empire in a new day.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu, why are you two here in person?"
Qin Dong was very surprised when he saw that two private giant bosses, Bona and Underline, came to visit in person.
"Haha, how dare we not come to Mr. Qin's invitation?"
Wang Tianfa from behind the scenes laughed and joked.
Bona’s Yu Xia also smiled:
"Mr. Qin, to be honest, we have been coveting your movies for a long time. Unfortunately, you have only cooperated with China Film for distribution, and even China Film has only invested once. Your invitation this time makes us very excited.
What a surprise."
Qin Dong was speechless, why did these words sound familiar to him?
It seems that Director Gao of China Film Group also said the same thing, which implies that he eats alone.
"Okay, my fault. The three of us will definitely cooperate more in the future. I am very envious of Mr. Wang and Yu's head office's publishing capabilities."
After joking and sitting down, Qin Dong became serious:
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang, my new film costs 20 million U.S. dollars. I, China Film, and Warner will each invest 5 million U.S. dollars, and you two will share the remaining share. How about it?"
Because it is easy to have decimal points when converting into RMB, Qin Dong simply distributed the money directly with U.S. dollars, which was exactly divided into four parts.
The two private entertainment giant CEOs looked at each other and nodded. They also knew a lot about Qin Dong's new film and asked directly:
"Mr. Qin, who are the actors in the film? Have you obtained the qualification for co-production?"
Qin Dong smiled and nodded:
"I got it. The male protagonist is Hu Changsu, and the female protagonist is Miss Scarlett Johnson. Have you heard of them?"
Wang Tianfa, who was behind the scenes, laughed and joked:
"I've heard of it before. Isn't this the heroine from Mr. Qin's foreign romance a few days ago?"
Yu Xia from Bona also laughed and teased Qin Dong:
"If you are not a romantic person, you will waste your youth... Mr. Qin, I heard from people in the company about your deeds. Many netizens on the Internet support you and say that you have brought glory to the country."
Qin Dong looked at the smiles of the two old men, these are LSPs, and he will not join the same trap with such people:
"I'm officially negotiating a movie contract with someone, so please don't taint my innocence."
Lao Wang and Lao Yu were also very polite to this profitable director:
"Oh, that's it, I understand."
"You are innocent, we all know it."
Qin Dong didn't expect that these two old men were really good at joking, and they probably also played in private:
"Back to business, what do the two bosses think? Is it possible to cooperate?"
Bona’s Yu Xia nodded:
"We can agree without even reading the script."
Wang Tianfa from behind the scenes also nodded:
"What Lao Yu said is on point. With China Film and Warner both investing, we have nothing to say. I just want to ask Mr. Qin, have the other actors for the film been selected?"
When Qin Dong heard this, he knew what the other party was planning:
"Mr. Wang, you haven't read the script. This film is about a male protagonist, and even the female protagonist is just a tool."
"The remaining ones include a female co-star and a male co-star. The two of them together don't have more than a few minutes of footage."
"And it has been decided a long time ago."
Wang Tianfa nodded a little disappointedly to express his understanding.
Qin Dong was helpless. This was something that had already been decided. Sometimes there are many investors in a film, so these trivial matters are unavoidable. However, these two companies are still very powerful in domestic and Asian distribution.
Yu Xia also looked disappointed when looking at Bona. Qin Dong thought for a while and said:
"Let's see, you two bosses, there are many opportunities for us to cooperate. My future movies will definitely be mainly co-productions."
"I'll reserve some casting spots for you next time, but I can't guarantee that I'll be the protagonist. After all, you all know that in a co-production, one of the male and female leads must be a foreigner."
Hearing this, Wang Tianfa and Yu Xia laughed.
This is right. You can't just do everything alone. You have to cooperate and win-win. You have to respond to the party's call.
"Let's remember Mr. Qin's words. We must give our artists a chance next time."
Qin Dong nodded:
"You must remember that it is just a low-budget film for the time being, and the supporting characters will have little time to appear. Don't be disappointed when the time comes."
In the next few films, there will really be very few actors, and Qin Dong can't help it. He has to get vaccinated in advance.
"hehe..."
Wang Tian from the dark side laughed:
"If you co-produce a film, it will be distributed globally, and it will make you an international star. Mr. Qin, don't you understand?"
Qin Dong smiled, these words were very straightforward.
There are many such people in China, such as Fan Liangliang, who relies on walking on the red carpet at international film festivals and can be considered an international female star.
Actually it's just a gimmick.
From Qin Dong's point of view, not to mention Fan Liangliang, even the two [Master Girls] are just small roles and dispensable in the world.
Just like the third-tier stars in China, many people don't know them, but at most some people think they look familiar.
This is the so-called export to domestic sales.
That is to say, to deceive children.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu, because the five of us both invest and issue, there is no need to discuss the issuance share. Everyone is the same. It will be allocated directly according to the investment quota. Each company will get the same promotion fee. We will discuss it when the time comes.
What do you think?"
Although Warner took an 8% share, there was no comparison. They distributed it globally.
The four of them are all domestic distributors. At most, they have some distribution capabilities in Asia, but they are incomparable, so Qin Dong will definitely not divide the distribution share.
"Okay, just follow what Mr. Qin said."
Qin Dong spoke so straightforwardly that the two bosses had no objection.
After the contract was signed half an hour later, Qin Dong sent them downstairs, returned to the office and took out his mobile phone:
"Hey, honey, are you tired from the group lately?"
Liu Sisi's usual gentle voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Honey, I'm not tired. How are you?"
Qin Dong's eyes were empty, as if he could see his beloved woman through the phone:
"I'm almost ready here. I'll be leaving for Hong Kong Island tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Liu Sisi heard Qin Dong say before that she knew that the man would leave within a few days of staying in Kyoto, so she did not return to Kyoto:
"I will visit the class when I have time. Don't talk to that woman named Scarlett..."
Before he said the following words, Qin Dong also understood that this was to give him a vaccination:
"Yes, my dear, I don't like her. This kind of woman has too many spots on her skin."
In order to dispel women's suspicion, Qin Dong even belittled other women.
You can hear Liu Sisi covering her mouth and laughing softly on the phone:
"Honey, don't talk about people like that. It's a racial issue. Okay, I believe you. Anyway, you should pay attention. Also, Fan Liangliang is the female costar in your new movie. This vixen, I don't think he is honest.
, and the reputation in the circle...you have to pay attention to this person, I don't want to see the news in newspapers or on the Internet that you went out with her and returned to the hotel together."
Regarding Scarlett, Liu Si thought clearly that she was a foreign woman and that she was not a big threat. Even if there was any threat, it would only be a short-term matter and there would be no follow-up.
But Liu Sisi knew very well about Fan Liangliang's reputation in the industry, and Mimi had also told her about this, so she reminded Qin Dong at this time.
