Chapter 414 Negotiation with 4 seniors (2 in 1)

In the office, the two teams sat on one side. At first they just met each other, and they prepared the team that needed to be organized. Lu Ze sat in the first place, leaning against the back of the chair in a slightly lazy posture, and took a sip of take-out coffee. I didn’t idle my hands, and I flicked the uncompressed top between my fingers from time to time, which seemed a bit boring and redundant.

After all, he is not a practitioner in commercial negotiations, and he does not have a deep understanding of this aspect, and he cannot intervene in this negotiation. The purpose of his existence is only to deter the other party and gain a greater right to speak for himself. This species is very harmonious, not under the circumstance of tense swords, his deterrent effect is basically zero, which has no practical significance.

Lu Zefang’s negotiation experts took the lead in speaking. First of all, he thanked the Lantai side for its willingness to sponsor Universal Brothers Pictures, and hoped that this negotiation can be reached amicably. The people on the Lantai side also nodded and agreed, saying that they are looking forward to the Lantai and Universal Brothers. The film industry has become a long-term friendly partner.

This contract is actually very simple. One is to send money to a few people to complete their initial international star-making plan. The other party actually almost paid the money, and doesn’t mind if the investor squeezes in two people.

The details of the two parties have been found out, and there is no need to find too many professionals to judge. Universal Brothers is very satisfied with Blue TV’s hard power in China, and the other party is also satisfied with Universal Brothers’ recent filming. The answer sheet handed in in history.

After the friendly talks, it was to explain his wishes. Lu Zefang took the lead to express his needs. The first is the sponsorship fee of 3 million euros, calculated at an exchange rate of more than one to seven points, which is about 25 million, excluding taxes. Later, it is expected to fall into the hands of Universal Brothers more than 2.5 million euros.

Lu Ze noticed Director Du Mei’s face. There was no mood swing, as if it had only cost more than two thousand yuan, and there was no pain in his eyes.

If this money is really for the column group, Du Mae can’t be painful. After all, the main funds and advertising costs of a column group will be spent on invited guests and tutors, plus the stage effect, channel promotion, etc. , Funding is usually scarce, so Lu Ze has reason to guess that the money that falls into the Global Brothers account should be the company behind the contestants taking the bulk, and even the contestants may have to take out part of it themselves.

After all, money is easy to make and spend, and channels are rare. Lantai has channels to go abroad, so you don’t have to worry about no one rushing to compete at your own expense. Lu Ze does not need to investigate where the money came from. As long as it is legal, he Naturally dare to spend.

It’s just that, in terms of Lantai’s ability to eat people without spitting out bones, perhaps, not only the channels need to be paid by the players, but it is estimated that they have to make a part of it and act as a middleman to make the difference between the players and the global brothers. The money is not from Du Mei, and she certainly does not feel distressed.

The second point is that the winners of the competition need to maintain sufficient time to ensure that they are on call. During the shooting, they are not allowed to leave the group without permission, and they are not allowed to take on business performances without permission until the closed shooting is completed and the director’s approval is obtained. You can leave the group, and then you have to cooperate with the movie’s publicity, and you still have to ensure that you are on call and can’t avoid it.

Chinese actors are relatively good at complying with this point. It is rare to hear of any Chinese actors who dare to join the group to take on private jobs or even play big names. Of course, this is internationally and domestically unacceptable.

But this must also be clearly written in the contract. No one can say whether such a strange thing will appear in the crew. If it is only a verbal agreement, many artists may have some irritation with the director for commercial performance and endorsement. , Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, that’s it.

The third point is that this money is only used for sponsorship purposes. The movie will show the Blue TV LOGO in some scenes as a thank you for sponsorship, but you must say in advance that this money can only be sponsored, not invested, and Blue TV cannot On the grounds of investment, Universal Brothers was asked to change the script or usurp the filming power of the director.

Fourth, the actors’ remuneration is paid by Universal Brothers Pictures. The specific amount is paid in accordance with the international reputation. It does not take the Huaxia remuneration as a consideration, and cannot participate in the movie dividend award.

To be honest, these conditions are quite harsh for the champions. It is also a competition and a group that only spends money to enter. However, the salary is just mixed with a minimum guarantee, and the dividends are not their share. It is a cool effort. The sad reminder of not making money is pitiful.

But the problem is that the price given by any Western film company is the same. It is not that the Universal Brothers are stingy or regard Asian actors as cheap labor. On the contrary, in the entire Western film industry, Universal Brothers absolutely treats Asian actors. The fairest and most kind company.

It can only be said that the current situation of Chinese actors’ activities in the world is in a state of non-acceptance. The older generations are no longer in the theater. The small ones have no reputation. They can only make a profit at a loss. I think that Lu Ze also came here in the first place. price.

First of all, you have no international fame, no hard-line fans, let alone box office appeal, no matter how good you are in the country, you are still an 18-line artist outside, don’t say any domestic box office appeals It’s hard to know whether other movies will be released in China or not. It is totally meaningless to refer to your box office call ability in China. Unless you are sure to be released in China, you will be given some temporary dividends. Otherwise, you will get as many as domestic ones? Go dreaming.

The last project intention is that this contract is only a contract between Universal Brothers and Lantai. Although you will have to sign another copy when signing with the artist, the remuneration and organization must follow the contract with Lantai. If an actor is dissatisfied with these terms, he can also choose to withdraw. Universal Brothers Pictures will not pursue his breach of contract.

In other words, what everyone can understand is that the contract is like this. If you like to act or not, I won’t let you lose money, but you have to pay me the sponsorship fee.

Speaking of conscience, this contract is indeed a bit overbearing. It does not treat the blue station and the contestants from an equal angle. However, Lu Ze carefully thought about the contestants, and if he did go out to make a movie, he would also get a minimum guarantee. If you weren’t filming in Universal Brothers, you wouldn’t be able to get the minimum guarantee, and you still need to be **** your own. Lu Ze just talked to the contestants and couldn’t find a suitable reason.

Secondly, his conditions have just been revealed, and there is still a lot of room to discuss. The relatively excessive demands are only to ensure that his own interests are maximized after the negotiations. Lu Ze knows the details and understands the bottom line of the global brothers. In fact, The minimum required contract is actually quite fair. It’s just from the perspective of taking money to help you do things. It is far less aggressive than it is now. However, it still depends on the strength of the blue platform’s negotiation team and whether you can talk about that step.

Now, Lu Ze only regretted not resisting Mickey’s hard work, and agreed to this drudgery. He couldn’t ask for a lower contract standard, otherwise he would be slapped in the face by himself, but in case the blue platform’s negotiating team was not good enough. , Maybe they put themselves in a disadvantaged position, and then they are not very demanding. If it is spread out, Lu Ze will be more or less inhuman evaluation.

With a secret sigh, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Mickey: “The requirements are not too high, let them relax appropriately.”

The message was quickly replied: “I understand, but you also need to know that if we are not tough, many people will get an inch. They will definitely not dare to blow your hair with you, but if you use your patriotic enthusiasm as the bottom card, give you Do you have a soft knife, can you eat this trick? I don’t have any foundation in Huaxia. I will talk about it personally. It will definitely not benefit from your presence, so I can only ask you. Yes, you are from Huaxia, but this is just an ordinary event. Commercial negotiations are far from involving the national position. If you give the other party a preferential contract even if you are patriotic, then the love is too narrow. It’s better not to be nice, otherwise, it is more like a kind of charity. It’s not your feedback to the China Film Industry.”

Lu Ze didn’t reply. He also knew exactly what Mickey meant. Putting away his phone, he happened to hear what Du Mei said next.

“The contract of more than 20 million yuan can not be slapped by mouth. It happened that Mr. Lu was present. We analyzed it one by one. First, let’s discuss the first item, the sponsorship fee of 3 million euros. First, The film is divided into pre-finance, post-finance, and publicity funds. If we are to allocate 25 million to the crew, it may be more difficult for our project team. After all, funds in all aspects are very scarce, I I want to discuss with you whether we can attribute our sponsorship expenses to the purpose of publicity funds, such as publicity in China Market, or marketing. After all, we are a publicity channel and have a large number of publicity contacts. If more than 20 million propaganda funds are made by our professional teams, such a large amount of funds will definitely have a very good effect.”

Sure enough, after Universal Brothers brought the sword, Du Mei’s group also showed their claws. Suddenly, Lu Ze lost the desire and hope to listen any more. He withdrew from a patriotic perspective and looked at both sides calmly. Imagination and guilt.

After drinking the last sip of coffee, he got up under the gaze of everyone and left the meeting room. He had already played the role of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. Now there is no room for further display. It is better to leave, so that the more you listen, the more headache.

As soon as he went out, he went to wash his hands in the bathroom, and turned around to go to the recording room to chat with old acquaintances, only to find that an unexpected figure was standing in front of him.

“Four brothers?”

“Why? You still don’t recognize your fourth brother? Your kid is also interesting. When you come to your fourth brother’s site, you have to ask your fourth brother to come over and invite you. You have such a great face.”

“Well, isn’t this because I heard that you’re busy with meetings these past two days? I don’t dare to bother you. Delaying your work means delaying the work of several units. If this is because I talked to you about the housework, many units could not operate normally. This mistake is a big mistake.”

“Hahaha, don’t you guys don’t talk to me so yin and yang, come and get to know, Director Zhao and Director Meng from Lantai, two, this is my brother, my Jiuer, I don’t need to introduce him, right? ”

Four senior brother Liu Xingbang followed two people behind him. They were about fifty years old and both were slightly bloated. Seeing the fourth brother introducing himself to Lu Ze, he shook hands with Lu Ze enthusiastically.

“Ms. Lu, young and promising… this year is only thirty?”

“Thirty-four this year, the teacher is absolutely afraid to be a teacher. You have to learn more from the two directors. They are not very old and have little knowledge. I also ask the two directors to give them advice.”

“Look at Lao Meng. When we were the size of Teacher Lu, our results were far less impressive than those of Teacher Lu. I dare not enlighten me. I can only say that it is more exchanges and contacts. I also hope that Mr. Lu can To share the valuable experience of some foreign TV stations, we should also learn more and add more spiritual entertainment projects to the audience.”

“The two teachers are right. Let’s talk a lot and move around a lot later. This is my business card, smile, smile…”

The conversion of nicknames in a few words made the two directors very happy. They took Lu Ze’s business card with both hands and didn’t leave much. They said goodbye to the fourth brother and Lu Ze with a smile, then turned and left, while the fourth brother took Lu Ze. Walked into his office at Lantai.

I lighted a cigarette and threw the cigarette case to Lu Ze. The fourth brother sat in the master chair and started to boil water. Lu Ze looked around the office. The decoration was very simple and not gorgeous. The most conspicuous ones were probably these two. A huge bookshelf of meters high and five meters wide.

“What kind of tea do you like to drink?”

“Forget it, brother, since I called you, my mouth hasn’t been idle. I have been drinking tea. I have to drink half a bucket of water this day. I haven’t had much exercise and my feet are swollen.”

“There is too much talk, let you pick and choose, it’s your business to drink how much you drink, I can’t give you two or two tea leaves.”

There were just a few teas on the tea table, Lu Ze picked and picked, and finally handed him a box of Longjing.

“Your kid’s eyes are sharp, so if you don’t want to drink, choose the best one, right?”

“This has just passed the Qingming Festival, and it’s time to come down after it’s fried. I’m sorry if I don’t drink some Longjing?”

“Haha, why don’t you be so poor with others? When do you leave?”

“Leave after two o’clock, God, look at Master and Mother Song.”

“No, it’s eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Brother 4 will send you to you. Drink with me tonight.”

He didn’t look up, and poured boiling water into the teapot, but his words had a majesty that was hard to refuse. People who used to say one thing were like this, that is, Lu Ze stood in front of the fourth brother or else he is the same. Vice appearance.

“It’s really not possible. Go to the imperial capital tonight, go to see Master Song, and see Lao Song’s mother tomorrow morning. It’s time to go back at noon. If you want to change it, you need to change more than one sheet. It’s troublesome, and things in the UK are also being reminded. , Really busy.”

“Too busy to have a drink with the fourth brother, right? Okay, then I won’t keep you, just tell the master once, so that I don’t have to take the board and complain about me and say that the old man is the old nine. I gave someone some water and I was driven away.”

“Fourth brother, please don’t order me. If I’m not really busy, I won’t go to Master’s to stay overnight. When the British side is over, we can drink as much as possible.”

“Okay, just two days ago, Master told me to wait for Longjing to come down and send him there. This saves me from taking the courier. Now I put it at the front desk. You will go downstairs and take it away. Don’t give it all to the master, the old man will be easy to keep secret, there are some for the second brother, the sixth and the eighth.”

“Puff! How much?”

“…”
