    "A Cheng, this is Mr. John, the representative of the AMC theater chain in the United States." "Mr. John, this is the boss of our company and the screenwriter and producer of this film, Mr. Su Mucheng." In the reception room of Huihuang Company  Here, Lin Yongqi introduced Makuchi and John.  "Hello, Mr. John, welcome to your visit." Mu Cheng spoke fluent English and greeted the foreigner in front of him with a smile and a beard that looked particularly rough.  "Mr. Su is really young and promising." John was also surprised that Mu Cheng could speak such fluent English, but he reacted instantly and looked at Mu Cheng with a smile on his face.  He was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would be so young, not only able to write such a wonderful script, but also have such a good company.  John is a department manager of AMC Cinemas. He just flew over from the United States today to discuss the appropriate release of the movie "A Better Tomorrow."  Speaking of this, it was actually a coincidence. John¡¯s wife is a Chinese. He accompanied his wife to Hong Kong to visit relatives and take a trip.  I accidentally read a report about the film "A Better Tomorrow" from the newspaper. It was already in the late stages of Hero's release, and only the Miracle part was still in theaters.  Out of professional habit, he took his wife to the cinema to watch the movie.  When John walked out of the cinema, he was still thinking about this movie in his mind. This movie gave him a great feeling, especially the shocking scenes of gun battles and explosions. He couldn't help but think about it.  At that time, he immediately contacted the company headquarters on the other side of the ocean and described the situation in detail.  He feels that this film is very valuable, and as long as it is done well, it will bring considerable profits to the company.  The next day, a group of relevant staff from AMC Theater Company came to watch the film and collected more detailed information to bring back to the company.  AMC Theater Company has had a detailed discussion on this film, and there has been considerable internal controversy. Some people are optimistic about it and think it is feasible, while others are dismissive of it. After careful consultation, they finally decided to give it a try.  Just yesterday, John was given instructions to conduct this negotiation on behalf of the company.  That¡¯s how Mujo met John for the first time today at Brilliant Company.  After the two shook hands with each other, John directly entered the topic, "Our AMC company is more interested in the film "A Better Tomorrow" and plans to take it back to try it out." I didn't expect this foreigner to be so pragmatic. He just sat down and  Open to purpose.  Mu Cheng was only slightly surprised, but he was already prepared when he received Lin Yongqi's call yesterday.  Since the other party was so direct, Makuro also asked directly: "That is our company's honor, but I don't know what your plans are." "Our company decided to pay 1.5 million US dollars to buy out all the copyrights in North America.  "John looked at Mu Cheng with a smile. The company gave him no more than 3 million US dollars, and he could handle it with full authority.  Before coming, John had gone through detailed thinking and judgment, and finally determined the price of 1.5 million US dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be nearly 20 million. He believed that it would be enough to impress the other party.  Looking at the guy in front of him who looked a bit arrogant even though he was smiling, Makuro really wanted to punch this guy.  After calming down his somewhat annoyed mood, Makuro simply shook his head.  "We can't accept this price. If this is your company's decision, I don't think we need to continue talking." "Yeah" I didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply. This was beyond John's expectation.  He couldn't help but look at the young-looking guy in front of him seriously again. He kept a smile on his face, but his eyes showed determination.  It seems that this guy is not that easy to fool. ?? 1.5 million US dollars is converted into more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars. This price is already relative to the original cost of the film, and the rest is the company's pure profit.  When Lin Yongqi heard the other party's offer, he thought about it and thought it was pretty good. If he had said it himself, he would have agreed. Unfortunately, Mu Cheng, who made the decision, rejected it outright, and he couldn't say anything.  Makuro looked at John so calmly. In the end, John withdrew his gaze first, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, and then said calmly: "This drama is indeed more exciting, but the Eastern and Western styles  The difference is quite big, the risk we have to bear is not small, and we are just going to give it a try. "Mucheng can also understand what John said. He refused so simply before. One was that the price was too low, and the other was that Makiro didn't like it.  The other person¡¯s previous mentality.  Now this guy has put away his exposed arrogance, everyone is negotiating seriously, and Makaki is willing to continue the talks.    After he finished speaking, John looked at Makiro again, and saw that the other party just smiled and nodded, but still did not speak. He helplessly touched the beard on his face, as if he had made some important decision.  He looked at Mu Cheng as if and said: "In order to have more pleasant cooperation in the future, I can offer 2 million US dollars on behalf of the company to buy out all the copyrights of our Americas." With another 500,000 US dollars, Lin Yongqi whispered in his heart  After making a sound, I couldn't help but admire Makiro. After rejecting it outright, the other party actually increased the price himself, and the increase was just that much.  Hearing that the other party had added 500,000, Mu Cheng lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment. Mu Cheng actually didn¡¯t feel much about this price. He was more concerned about this cooperation.  AMC Cinemas is a big company in the United States. As long as this cooperation goes well and everyone gets familiar with each other, it will be more beneficial to themselves and the company in the future.  ??At present, Huihuang Company¡¯s distribution capabilities are limited to Southeast Asia, mainly in Hong Kong, and there are really no channels for release on the other side of the ocean.  In the whole of Hong Kong, Jiahe is more familiar with it and has wider channels. The company will definitely make blockbusters in the future and will definitely go abroad. It is not enough to rely on such a small area in Hong Kong. It is better to log in to the other side. If we can work with  If AMC goes online, it will be much more convenient in the future, which is a good gain for the company.  Seeing that Mu Cheng didn't speak for a long time, John couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He always had to say something regardless of whether he agreed or not. This was too confusing.  If you lower the price yourself, the negotiation fails.  There will definitely be people in the company who will jump out to criticize. That guy Hans has been eyeing his position for a long time.  Just as John was thinking about whether to speak, Makuro finally spoke. He looked at John with a sure face and said: "I also hope to cooperate with AMC. I mean 2.2 million US dollars, as long as  If you agree, we can sign the contract immediately. " This time it was John who was thinking. In fact, he was just delaying it on purpose. The price of 2.2 million was completely acceptable to him. He believed that if he bought it out at this price, he would definitely return to the company.  Will be rewarded.  After a while, John pretended to be helpless and nodded, and then said cheerfully, "Okay, I'm convinced by you. It's just the price of 2.2 million. I hope we can have better cooperation in the future." "Happy cooperation.  " "Happy cooperation" Both of them smiled and nodded to each other, shaking each other's hands.  As for the details of the contract, professionals will handle it. They are only responsible for negotiation.  After the cooperation was reached, I originally wanted to invite the other party to have lunch, but unfortunately John had to rush back, so the two of them sent him directly downstairs.  "Acheng, I really have yours. This is more than 20 million." Lin Yongqi patted Mu Cheng on the shoulder and said with emotion.  Mu Cheng shook his head and didn't pay much attention to these. Then he remembered the screening situation in other places, "Uncle Qi, have you contacted the screenings in other places?" Lin Yongqi nodded and said, "Leave it to Taipei.  I have contacted Miracle Company, which has confirmed that it will be released on June 1, and the Japanese side is cooperating with Toho Co., Ltd." He paused and continued: "We will have final negotiations with representatives from Southeast Asia in the afternoon.  There is a film producer named Tie Changkong who wants to win the agency rights in Malaysia and Europe. " "Oh, they have channels in Europe?" "Yes, we have learned about it.  There is a relatively large family in Southeast Asia, which has a wide range of businesses. It is not only in Southeast Asia, but also has many connections in Europe. They also got involved in the film and entertainment industry a few years ago. This man named Tie Changkong is a descendant of the Tie family.  He is in charge of all the theater business, and he is also a young and talented person. Are you interested in meeting him?" Lin Yongqi gave a rough summary of the information the company had investigated, and remembered that the person he met last time was also young and talented.  For this reason, Tie Changkong compared the curtain city in front of him and couldn't help but ask with a smile.  Makuro thought for a while and decided to go back to filming in the afternoon, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't go. I have to rush back to the set in the afternoon." Makuro has been busy filming "A Chinese Ghost Story"  , except for the night of the celebration banquet and today's negotiation with representatives of the American AMC company, he has never been out.  "How is the progress? It's going well, right?" Mu Cheng said he would go back to the set in the afternoon, and Lin Yongqi nodded and asked.  "Fortunately, I guess I'll have to be busy for a while. I'm not that fast here. You should pay more attention to "The True Story of a Mad Man" and "Heavenly Love". The company's movies to be released in June and July will depend on them.  "The filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" went smoothly, but there was still some time before it was finished. He didn't want to rush into filming. Ensuring quality was the most important thing.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I clicked away a lot, please support me and recommend me) (At the request of Tie Changkong readers, I made a guest appearance  Film companies)
