Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Xuechu did not lower his conditions in the end and refused to let go even after he had killed one billion.  ? Unsurprisingly, Ufa finally gave up on the acquisition.  However, this incident did not affect other negotiations between the two parties.  After all, except for this point, both sides have needs from each other in other aspects and it is easy to reach consensus.  The negotiations were finally completed successfully after half a month. Ufa gave up the acquisition of Oriental DreamWorks, but the two parties reached an agreement on the distribution of the film.  Oriental DreamWorks can get 30% of the box office and share the promotional expenses equally.  This condition is almost the same as that of Hollywood movie companies. Except for the big-budget movies of several major movie giants, other movies basically get 30% of the box office.  In the field of film production, Oriental DreamWorks can accept UFA's investment of up to 50% of the film production cost, but retain the option of cooperating in film production.  It is agreed to cooperate and invest in no less than three films every year.  The cooperation period was limited to three years. During these three years, the two parties formed an alliance.  The distribution of Oriental DreamWorks' works in Europe is basically handed over to Ufa, and Ufa has also improved the treatment of Oriental DreamWorks' works.  After the agreement was concluded, DreamWorks¡¯ path in Europe has been consolidated and broadened, and the pressure to launch large-scale production has undoubtedly been reduced.  The company's management even began to think of the benefits of large-scale productions. After all, large-scale productions usually require special effects, and the special effects company can be completely owned by them. The more they do, the more money they make.  In terms of the market, there are investments from large European companies, so I don't have to worry about people not working hard, and the pressure on me is much less.  "Li, we are now official partners. It's a pity that we can't go further." "Human Bear" can't let go of Li Xuechu's lion's mouth.  In his heart, he still thinks that Wufa Company is sincere enough.  With his efforts and mediation, the headquarters increased the price authority for Oriental DreamWorks Film Company to nearly 800 million, but it was still far from Li Xuechu's asking price, so he had to give up in the end.  "This is indeed a pity, but I stick to my point of view." Li Xuechu was unmoved: "Maybe in two years, you will find that my offer is very reasonable." "I hope so, after all, our interests are now  "This cooperation will put a certain amount of pressure on both parties. If there is a loss in the end, the two parties will probably not cooperate again in three years."  Of course, if good results are achieved, there will be opportunities to reopen the original negotiations.  "I am full of confidence in our cooperation. In two or three years, maybe you will regret not reaching an agreement this time?" "Haha, if that is the case, I think we don't mind continuing to offer higher prices.  "I think you may come again in two or three years." Li Xuechu smiled and extended his hand: "I wish our cooperation well, Mr. Schiller." "I also hope to come again. Xiangjiang has given me wonderful memories."  "It's a pity that things at work can't be perfect, but no matter what, the cooperation will be successful. "Ufa Company will take the initiative to seek cooperation, and of course we have expectations.  Although the final result is not satisfactory, as long as there is money to be made, the result will naturally develop in a direction that is beneficial to both parties, otherwise there will be no discussion.  After the agreement was concluded, the two parties held a press conference at the suggestion of Li Xuechu. ??????????????????????? The term "eyeball economy" has not yet come out, but its effects have begun to show. Advertising revenue has become the largest source of revenue for TV stations and some newspapers.  The press conference of Oriental DreamWorks and Ufa caused an uproar in Hong Kong.  Xiangjiang already has the title of Oriental Hollywood, but the scope of influence of Xiangjiang movies is mainly in Asia, especially Southeast Asia.  Outside of Asia, audiences in other regions still disagree with this.  This cooperation shows that the strength of a Hong Kong film company has finally been officially recognized by a major European distributor, and the content of the agreement can be regarded as confirming the equal status of both parties.  The relevant media were as excited as chicken blood. No need for DreamWorks to publicize it, the news was immediately spread all over Hong Kong. No matter it was entertainment or financial-focused newspapers, they did not miss the news.  Many reporters, editors, experts and scholars also joined in the fun and published articles analyzing the impact of this cooperation on DreamWorks and the Hong Kong film industry. It is extremely rare to be optimistic about the prospects of DreamWorks and the film industry. Unfortunately, DreamWorks is not listed now.  Otherwise it must be a bullish round of stock prices.  DreamWorks once again enjoyed the treatment of a star company in Hong Kong, making a splash among its peers.  Compared with DreamWorks, other film companies are not so happy.  With the first one, people inevitably began to predict who would be the next company to make a name for itself in Europe and the United States.  Jiahe, Xinyicheng, and Shaw Brothers are all struggling, and Jiahe, in particular, is under great pressure.  With DreamWorks¡¯ good start, we have long been interested inJiahe, which has opened up the North American market, is naturally a highly anticipated follower.  But Jiahe is also self-aware that the aesthetic differences between Eastern and Western audiences are quite large. If one side is pleased, the other side will be dissatisfied. Historically, Jiahe did not have a clue until later generations.  After all the bluster from the media, Boss Zou is probably going to have a headache.  Xiangjiang Company really doesn¡¯t have much courage to ask for a share in Europe and the United States. Movies that are popular in the country usually fail in Europe and the United States.  Jiahe has also felt the pressure of over-sharing, but the biggest example is Xinyi City's best-selling Best Partner.  After a baptism of comedies such as Home Alone and Baby in the Beanhole, Europe has gained some confidence in New Art City's comedies, and New Art City has finally begun to try to get dividends in Europe. The first of its kind is this New Art City's Love.  Powerful work.  As a result, a lot of publicity expenses were invested, but the result was sad. The Hong Kong version of 007 failed in Europe, and the box office was far inferior to the two Home Alone films.  The biggest problem with the share-sharing plan is that it cannot guarantee profits. Therefore, most Xiangjiang companies still prefer to choose buyouts with guaranteed income in droughts and floods. Not only in Europe and the United States, small and medium-sized companies in other parts of Asia also mainly use buyouts. Companies that dare to propose a share of profits.  Not many.  On the subject of pleasing audiences in the East and the West at the same time, most Hong Kong companies have never found the right footing.  After discovering that only a few of Li Xuechu's films could find a balance, Tycoon Lei explored the possibility of continued cooperation with DreamWorks.  Of course, it was obviously inappropriate to buy the script. New Art City offered DreamWorks an olive branch to co-produce Home Alone 3.  This series has proven to be the most popular movie in New Art City, taking into account both the Eastern and Western markets. Originally, New Art City wanted to write the script itself, after all, the copyright is in its own hands.  But in the end, he was still afraid of the box office disadvantage and still approached Li Xuechu.  It can be regarded as a reason for future cooperation. DreamWorks has basically found Golden Harvest for its current movies. Although Princess Jin has no shortage of film sources now, it would be good to have another high-quality film production company.  Li Xuechu actually came to this cooperation with a dispensable mentality.  After all, after two movies, the value of Home Alone has been almost fully explored.  In his opinion, in addition to setting up a brand for New Art City in advance, the biggest contribution of this series of movies is to open up the European market for Xiangjiang, and also made the child star of Gu Juju famous.  But anyway, the investment is not big, and the third part is still profitable, but I have no interest in the next one.  However, it is obviously not appropriate to offend Princess Jin. There are currently five major theater chains in Xiangjiang. Anle Cinema Line is very powerful in later generations, but currently there are only four theaters. Shuangnan Cinema Line is a left-wing theater chain, and it is easy to be blocked by Taiwan if it is released there.  Outside of these two families, the main ones are Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Princess Jin.  The Shaw family is in a lot of troubles. If they offend Princess Jin too much, they will be tied to Jiahe's ship.  Although I am more optimistic about Jiahe than Princess Jin.  Although Jiahe has always been unable to overpower its rivals in Xiangjiang, in the foreign market, Jiahe's issuance capabilities are not something that Princess Jin can compete with.  Cooperating with Jiahe has given me a lot of convenience.  But it would not be so beneficial for me to completely rely on Jiahe. DreamWorks does not have Jiahe's shares. Jiahe is more wooing towards me now because it is also afraid that he will end up with Princess Jin. If he doesn't have this worry, at least he will  The road in Xiangjiang is not so easy.  Do you want to establish a theater chain by yourself? (To be continued.
