Chapter 701 Unscrupulous
After entering the play, they sat down, and after the pleasantries passed, the two parties got down to business and began to discuss the release of "Infernal Affairs".

"Mr. Chen, you see we have worked together before. Our "Infernal Affairs" has an investment of hundreds of millions. It is directed by Yang Muwen, starring Chen Feng, Liang Jiahe and other famous actors. I believe it will have good results..." Zheng Liaoyuan introduced with a smile .

When Zheng Liaoyuan asked him to come out, he guessed that this was the matter. The "Infernal Affairs" invested and produced by their studio was about to be released in the near future, and what he wanted to talk about must be the release.

It's just...just the day before, Li Kang from the Poseidon Group found him through the board of directors, and their "Prison Storm" also wanted to entrust their company to release it.

And one of the requirements is that it must not be drawn in the same theater as "Infernal Affairs"!

In comparison, both the public opinion outside and within their group are more optimistic about the movie "Prison Storm". Coupled with the relationship between the Sea God Group and their group directors, he can only be biased.

Although the director stated that the final decision rests with him, if he doesn't give him some face about this matter, it may be more difficult to be promoted in the future!

His eyes flickered for a while, he considered for a while, and finally made a decision: "If it were normal, I would be very willing to cooperate with you... Mr. Yi's works, I am also very optimistic, with full sincerity!"

"But... sorry, there is nothing we can do this time!" Chen Guang looked into Yi Shuihan's eyes and said firmly: "We, Huaying, have already signed a distribution contract with "Prison Storm"...they demanded that we absolutely cannot cooperate with Yi Shuihan." You are painting on the same batch!"

Hearing this, Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan looked serious. Huaying was originally their best choice, but they didn't expect that the competition with Sea God Group would continue to this stage!

Yi Shuihan sighed, actually it's normal when you think about it, regardless of the quality of the movie, from any other aspect, the Poseidon Group's "Prison Storm" has an advantage over their "Infernal Affairs"!There is nothing wrong with them choosing each other, but they are somewhat disappointed in their hearts.

"I'm really sorry, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time!" Chen Guang said apologetically. As a businessman, he naturally hopes to have a good relationship with all parties. Judging from Han's development, he still has great prospects.

"It's okay, I understand!" Zheng Liaoyuan said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'd like to thank Mr. Chen for giving us this face, but I know how many pieces of prescriptions are begging to invite you to a meal, but we can't invite you to a meal!"

Zheng Liaoyuan's compliment made Chen Guang very happy. There is always a chance to cooperate in business!
"Haha, the invitations of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Yi must come!" Chen Guang said with a smile: "You two, I'm sorry that I can't help you with this matter, but if you can consider postponing it, it will be a diversion from "Prison Storm" During the schedule, we at Huaying will definitely give full support and promote it as the main movie!"

Reciprocate, they are so knowledgeable, Chen Guang will naturally consider for them.

Originally, two films of the same genre would lose out if they competed. If Yi Shuihan, Zheng Liaoyuan and others were willing to back down, he would still be willing to cooperate!

Yi Shuihan thought for a moment, then shook his head resolutely.

First of all, Yi Shuihan didn't want to give in. He believed that the quality of "Infernal Affairs" would not be worse than any other film, and all preparations and arrangements had been made properly. If it was delayed, it would cause great economic losses. The recent investment in publicity has been in vain.

In addition, even if they are willing to postpone, how can they guarantee that there will not be strong films in that period!

It's better to face the difficulties and compete with "Prison Storm"!
Although Huaying's path is not feasible, they still have other options.

"With all due respect, let's take a step back!" After Zhang Guang finished speaking, he punished himself with a cup and said, "Sorry, I said too much!"

"Thank you, President Chen, for your reminder, but we don't plan to change the plan for the time being. If the plan changes, we will definitely contact you as soon as possible." Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile.

It took only five or ten minutes for a meal. Since the cooperation has not been negotiated, naturally there is not much to talk about.

Fortunately, it's easy to get together and leave, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

"Huaying failed to negotiate, so let's talk to other distribution companies!" Zheng Liaoyuan sighed and said, "But from Huaying, we can see the outside world's opinion of our movie!"

"At that time, I will see the real chapter!" Yi Shuihan said with a smile, ""Infernal Affairs" will bring them a big surprise!"

"Well, I'll make appointments with other companies!" Zheng Liaoyuan nodded and said, everything is difficult at the beginning, especially for studios like them that are new to this field, there are really too few cards to negotiate.

Zheng Liaoyuan moved quickly, and on the third day, he made an appointment with the distribution manager of the Kyoto New Film Federation.

The Kyoto New Film Federation has a background in the financial industry, and even has such inextricable connections with ZF, so it will be quite difficult to interview them.

Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan were already mentally prepared, but they didn't expect sparks to sparkle from the start of the negotiation!

"15% of the distribution fee? Mr. Hua is not joking, is he?" Zheng Liaoyuan said in a deep voice.

"I never joke about this kind of thing, think about it for yourself!" Hua Ping said with a smile, as if he didn't feel that he was making any excessive demands.

Yi Shuihan's complexion also became gloomy. Basically, the market price is about 10% of the distribution fee. Even the unpopular new work "Diary from the Past" only costs 12%. The more luxurious "Infernal Affairs" actually requires 15% of the distribution fee!Isn't this a joke!
"Old Zheng, you have to make it clear that our New Film Federation has no shortage of movies at all. "Prison Storm" is already promoting movies of the same period. Let's push your "Infernal Affairs" which is not favored by the outside world! You We have to consider the risks we take, the 15% distribution fee is already very favorable for us!" Huaping continued, as an established and established distribution company, he has the strength to say such a thing!

Zheng Liaoyuan looked at Hua Ping, who was leisurely and contented, and felt disgusted in his heart!
The reason why they feel that the lion opened his mouth is nothing more than bullying them for their lack of strength.

This 15% distribution share even broke the unspoken rules of this industry. There are not no movies with such a high distribution fee, but they are all unpopular movies that only want to be released without profit.

And their "Infernal Affairs" will never be reduced to that point!

It's too much to speculate!Yi Shuihan doesn't even want to continue talking with such a greedy publishing company, it doesn't make any sense!

Yi Shuihan and Zheng Liaoyuan got up to leave, when Hua Ping's voice came from behind: "Xiao Yi, I advise you to think about it! I know that Huaying has already made the film "Prison Storm" and several other companies The distribution company is not optimistic about your "Infernal Affairs", as long as our group is willing to give you this price, believe it or not, if you go to other distribution companies, they may charge you 20% of the distribution fee!"

Yi Shuihan laughed angrily, so the problem lies here!No wonder they dare to be so unscrupulous!

There are only a few groups that are qualified to distribute, and there are even fewer powerful ones. If they join forces to cheat any movie, they will definitely be able to cheat each other!Otherwise, you can only Zhao those small distribution companies!
And this new movie from Yi Shuihan's studio has become the best choice to squeeze out. Yi Shuihan doesn't know if anyone from the Sea God Group is in the way, but he will never compromise because of this!
