Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 455 Decisive Rejection

When Zhu Yanping returned to the hotel in the evening and received a phone call saying that manager Zhong Chuhong was willing to meet him, he was so happy that he almost skipped to the Second Dimension Building the next day.

Zhu Yanping is a smart man. He knows very well that DreamWorks has agreed to cooperate with him. If DreamWorks did not consider him, there would not be this second meeting.

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhu Yanping arrived at the Second Dimension Building on time again.

This time the receptionist was different. She was no longer the same as last time, but she was still very beautiful.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yanping couldn't help but think, everyone said that there are many beauties in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, but he felt that there were also many beauties in DreamWorks, and their quality was not inferior to that of the beauties in the entertainment industry!

There are many girls here who can actually make movies. At least the two receptionists Zhu Yanping met are fully qualified.

However, when Zhu Yanping saw Zhong Chuhong again, he felt that the two girls in front were completely inadequate in front of Zhong Chuhong!

Even Zhu Yanping would lament whether the manager Zhong in front of him was in the wrong industry. It would be a pity for such a beauty not to make movies!

Of course, he is now an executive of DreamWorks. What does a mere movie star mean?

Not to mention her status as a rich lady, just her status as the head of the brand management department is enough to make a lot of directors in the entertainment industry please her!

"Director Zhu, hello!"

Facing Zhong Chuhong's outstretched right hand, Zhu Yanping quickly came to his senses.

"Hello, Manager Zhong, I didn't expect us to meet again!"

After shaking hands, Zhong Chuhong invited Zhu Yanping to sit down.

Compared with Li Wannian's oversized office, Zhong Chuhong's office is relatively normal, only about 20 square meters, with desks, bookshelves, sofas and coffee tables.

During yesterday's meeting, Zhu Yanping had already observed the situation in the office, so at this time more attention was focused on Zhong Chuhong.

He had not forgotten his mission. Even though he had vaguely guessed the outcome, he still wanted to hear Zhong Chuhong personally announce the outcome of the matter.

"After discussion, the company still agrees with Director Zhu's proposal. Can we cooperate?"

"Really? That's great!"

"However, there are still some details that we need to discuss!"

Zhu Yanping, who was originally excited, calmed down instantly.

detail? I'm afraid the key to the problem lies in these details, right?

"Manager Zhong, please speak!"

Zhu Yanping sat upright and listened carefully.

"Before that, I would like to ask first, is Director Zhu planning to cooperate with us himself, or is it your company?"

Zhong Chuhong pointed out the core of the problem in one sentence.

Zhu Yanping also realized this problem, which was likely to completely change the entire cooperation, so he cautiously said: "I established a Yanping studio that can be used for film shooting!"

Just last year, Zhu Yanping established his own studio, which made him completely the boss.

"Since this is the case, then we will follow the company cooperation model. Your production fee ratio will be increased to 7:3. As for the revenue, we will divide it according to 5:5. As for the difference in the middle, it will be calculated according to the copyright royalties. , do you have any objections here?"

It has to be said that the cooperation model proposed by Zhong Chuhong was very harsh to Zhu Yanping, but he could not object.

Because such a rule is not aimed at him alone. Even if someone can disobey this rule, that person is not him!

But even so, Zhu Yanping still raised objections.

“I have objections to the income part!”

Zhu Yanping's reaction was not beyond Zhong Chuhong's expectation. After all, few people would agree to such harsh sharing conditions. Although those people earn money, it is difficult to get them to kneel down directly. They also want to save face!

However, Zhong Chuhong is not worried, as long as they pull a little, they will still kneel down!

Make money, don't worry!

"If you have any objections, feel free to raise them!"

“I don’t need the profit share, I just need the meager box office income!”

Zhu Yanping made a new proposal, which made Zhong Chuhong frown slightly.

Generally speaking, Wanwan is the largest box office for Hong Kong movies. Without Wanwan's box office, it would be difficult for Hong Kong movies to make back their money, especially in today's era when star salaries are getting bigger and movie production costs are getting bigger and bigger. !

However, Zhu Yanping's proposal directly took away the largest part of the box office.

Of course, the corresponding DreamWorks investment is less, and the return will not be less than Zhu Yanping. After all, the box office in Hong Kong Island + Southeast Asia is not much less than Wanwan.

At this time, Zhong Chuhong needs to make a choice.

Whether this animated film is a hit at the box office or loses money, DreamWorks will make money. Only if Wanwan is a hit at the box office and other places hit the market, DreamWorks will lose money. No matter how you look at it, it is good for DreamWorks.

But Zhong Chuhong fell into doubt.

Is Zhu Yanping really willing to do such a good deed?

Is he so helpful?

Zhong Chuhong instinctively suspected that Zhu Yanping had other plans, but he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"How about this? I'll give you a copy of our contract and you can see if there are any areas that need to be modified. Then you will provide a new contract and we can talk about it then?"

"no problem!"

Of course Zhu Yanping would not object to Zhong Chuhong's proposal. In fact, he really needed to find someone to find out what other pitfalls there were in the contract? As for the proposal he just made, he had thought of it before, and it really caught Zhong Chuhong off guard.

The other party is probably doing this because they want to implement a delaying strategy.

After the chat, the two shook hands happily and said goodbye. Before leaving, Zhu Yanping brought a blank contract with him.

However, after Zhu Yanping left, Zhong Chuhong immediately returned to the office and directly picked up the phone in his hand.

"Du...du...hello?"

The call was connected, and Li Wannian's voice came over there.

"Zhu Yanping proposed a new plan..."

Soon, Zhong Chuhong explained Zhu Yanping's proposal to Li Wannian in the most concise words, and then the other end of the phone fell into silence.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long.

"Reject him!"

After thinking for a while, Li Wannian said decisively.

"reject?"

"That's right! The fact that he was able to propose this plan naturally shows that he has the confidence to sell well at the box office. On the contrary, he lacks such confidence in the market in other regions. He is a director, but he is also a businessman. Since he is a businessman, he You will never let yourself make less money, let alone lose money!"

Li Wannian's simple explanation made Zhong Chuhong suddenly realize it, and he immediately reacted, "I understand!"
