You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Tian Ni and Liu Min rushed to the city where the "Pretender" road show was held as soon as possible. Although there would definitely be a life-and-death fight at the negotiation table, their sincerity was emphasized in terms of efficiency.

Ge Man received Tian Ni and his party as a host. Not only did she insist on arranging a hotel for them, but she also found the place where they would meet in the evening. She was very positive throughout the process.

Although she has selfish motives, this is a win-win cooperation for all parties.

If Peng Yiwei can build a bridge with the superstar, he will get the startup capital he needs most at this time. The superstar can expand his business territory and improve the reputation of the industry, and Ge Man can get a movie that reassures her.

In this case, why not try your best to promote it?
In order to promote this cooperation, Ge Man had worriedly pulled Peng Yiwei, who had a worrying emotional intelligence, from the morning and whispered in a low voice. The two seemed to be talking about something shameful and would stop whenever someone passed by, especially when Leyan passed by.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Guarding me is like guarding against a thief. I just want to go to the bathroom." Le Yan raised his hands to show that he was very innocent.

"Go to the bathroom over there, don't come to our place." Peng Yiwei pointed into the distance and said.

He and Ge Man had automatically divided their negotiating camps, and Leyan belonged to the hostile forces.

Now they are holding an important internal combat meeting, how could they be heard by spies from the enemy country?
Le Yan felt rebellious and sat down next to Peng Yiwei:
"Your negotiations have nothing to do with me. There is no need for you to set up defenses against me."

Peng Yiwei's new movie has nothing to do with him, nor does the superstar's business expansion have anything to do with him.

Moreover, Tian Ni and Liu Min came from Kyoto with Ye Xinchun's imperial edict. He had no idea what was written in the imperial edict. Ge Man and Peng Yiwei were guarding him as much as they were guarding James, and they had no idea about the combat strategy here. .

I just close my eyes as a player, it’s not necessary.
But Leyan's heart is still towards Peng Yiwei and Ge Man.

It’s not easy to make a literary film, you should support it!

What to say?
Take me with you.

You don’t know how powerful my mouth is, I will definitely help you——

Peng Yiwei curled his lips and stayed far away from Leyan:
"There are people across from you who are superstars. You are a shareholder of superstars. I can't help but guard against you."

Do you think I'm stupid?

You heard the bargaining chips and conditions from me, and then turned around and told Superstar, aren't we just like meat on the chopping board?
Leyan sighed and said:

"It is true that I am a shareholder of Superstar, but I am also your good comrade-in-arms."

We are a revolutionary friendship!
Ge Man smiled and pushed Le Yan away:

"Good comrade, this task organization has only been assigned to me and Peng Yiwei. We know your loyalty. Let's get together after completing this task."

Le Yan threw his hands away angrily:

"Good intentions are like a donkey's liver and lungs."

My Leyan was actually disliked?

Since you don't want me, I'll go over there!
Let you cry then! !

But unexpectedly, when the road show was over, Leyan went to the hotel to find Tian Ni and Liu Min.
"Negotiation strategy?" Tian Ni pushed up her glasses, looked at Liu Min and asked, "Don't you have any negotiation strategy? Do you have one?"

Before the plane took off, Ye Xinchun sent Tian Ni a message. The general meaning was that if there were difficulties that the two parties could not reconcile, Liu Min's decision-making would be the outlet.

In summary, Liu Min is the final say in this negotiation for Superstar Entertainment, and even Tian Ni has to listen to her.

Facing Leyan's inquiry, Tian Ni wanted to tell him everything and pull him into a boat to confront Peng Yiwei and Ge Man.

Tian Ni knew very well how powerful Le Yan's mouth was.

With this mouth, she first deceived her into promising three S-level projects before the superstar had a firm foothold; then, without knowing anything about it, she cooperated with her and Ji Xueli to deceive Su Tian into becoming the contracted director of the superstar.

With Leyan's help, I am at least 30% sure of having more superstars in this collaboration.

But Liu Min is the one who talks about this trip, so it's up to her to decide whether to take Le Yan with her.

Tian Ni and Le Yan's eyes all fell on Liu Min, who was wearing a beige casual suit.

After leaving Ye Xinchun, Liu Min was in a much more relaxed state, with a smile often on her face.

She said to Le Yan very politely:
"We don't have any negotiation strategies. The main purpose of this trip is to hear what the other party wants."

Except for the few times when Le Yan went to find Ye Xinchun, Liu Min helped lead the way. In a strict sense, this was the second time the two of them had crossed paths.

The first time was when Liu Min explained the equity contract to Leyan. It only took half an hour, and the whole process was Liu Min talking and listening to Leyan.

Most of Liu Min's knowledge of Le Yan came from the weekly and daily newspapers handed over by Ji Xueli and Ye Xinchun's occasional mentions.

But when Ye Xinchun mentioned Leyan, he was not talking about who Leyan was, but teaching her how to 'use' Leyan. So in some ways, Liu Min's understanding of Leyan was a blank slate.

Talking about cooperation with Peng Yiwei was the first time Liu Min broke away from Ye Xinchun's assistant status and dealt with a matter alone.

Facing that extremely stern boss, Liu Min had to go back with good news. There was no second choice.

Since we don’t understand Leyan, there is no need to add unknown factors to this negotiation.

Just be a mascot.
Le Yan was not familiar with Liu Min, and he believed that Tian Ni was the backbone this time, so he continued to fight for Tian Ni:

"I'm familiar with Peng Yiwei and Ge Man, so I should be able to help you."

Take me with you
Don't worry about big and small achievements, doesn't this just give you one more thing to talk about when reporting to the board of directors next year?
Tian Ni realized what Liu Min meant and reluctantly refused:

"You are too tired during this period. You travel across the country every day, so you don't need to worry about this matter."

Leyan tried his best to smile.

what's going on?
Neither side actually wants me?

Wanfu pointed out? ?
It was Ye Xinchun who ordered Le Yan to attend the dinner. Le Yan had to go there even though he was reluctant.

The two sides exchanged cups and cups, explored each other's weaknesses, talked happily and worked hard without saying a word.

Let’s talk, let’s talk, let’s talk, let’s talk as much as we want with JB.

If you have a problem, no one should fucking come to me.

But it was such a coincidence that problems came one after another.

The first player from both sides to play was Geman.

She introduced the two parties as a 'spectator' and talked about the difficulties Peng Yiwei is encountering now. In addition to describing the film as Peng Yiwei's painstaking masterpiece, she also expressed the issue of time constraints in a very subtle way.

The second person to fight was Tian Ni.

From Ge Man's words, she further concluded that this was the best time to recruit Peng Yiwei, because apart from the fact that he could not modify the content, Ge Man did not put forward any other requirements. She knew that Peng Yiwei was known in the industry for having "many things". Because of this character, I don’t know how many media and companies have shunned him.

Now that everything has been settled, Tian Ni also naturally pulled Ge Man in with the tone of "I'll tell you, you can listen to me".

Tian Ni followed Ye Xinchun's instructions and proposed that the two films be packaged and signed together. Seeing that Ge Man and Peng Yiwei did not raise any objections, she cautiously stated the budget.

"Two movies together, the budget is capped at 1 million?" Ge Man's smile froze on his face.

She silently glanced at Peng Yiwei, who was as quiet as a chicken, and said to Tian Ni with a smile:

"The budget of "The Pretender" alone is nearly 8000 million. This number is too tight."

During the day, she learned from Peng Yiwei that his expected budget for this feature film, which was about to start shooting, was 5000 million.

Although the cost of this film is not high, the next film does not even have a script. It is difficult to evaluate the budget without knowing the genre. This number will block his creation.

Tian Ni pushed up her glasses and said gently:

"Shortening the cycle will help everyone feel at ease."

The low budget means that the shooting cycle must be shortened.

That kind of situation where one shoot lasts for two or three years will never happen.

Ye Xinchun gave this figure because he wanted to recover costs quickly and not extend the battle line too long.

Ge Man wanted to continue fighting for the budget, but Peng Yiwei spoke first:

“The budget is only for two feature films.”

Peng Yiwei dislikes this kind of pull-and-pull business negotiations, so he is unwilling to cooperate with superstars.

Since you have put forward the conditions, I will give you the answer directly and don't hold on to it.

1 million, yes.

Two dramas of similar size.

Tian Ni nodded:
"We don't interfere with the types of movies, and we don't have to review the scripts. This is a sign of respect for Director Peng."

Peng Yiwei's small eyes behind the lenses rolled around twice, thinking in his mind:
Is this still Superstar Entertainment?

so generous?

You don’t even interfere with any type of film. Aren’t you afraid that I will end up making a short film that is not in competition?
Don't you cry to death?
"No other requirements?" Peng Yiwei asked with gleaming eyes.

Tian Ni smiled awkwardly and said the second sentence of Ye Xinchun's original words:

"The two movies have a budget of 1 million, but they have to sign a 3 million box office bet, otherwise they will make another commercial film for which we provide a script."

Hearing the word "bet", Peng Yiwei smiled and touched his forehead.

Just say how can a superstar be so kind?

It turns out he is still urinary.
Regarding the bet, the director least wanted to hear two words.

Especially art film directors.

Who do you think you are?
Do I measure the quality of my movie by its box office? ?

vulgar!

Peng Yiwei smiled and picked up a piece of pork ribs, chewed them seriously, and joined the army of rice cookers.

Peng Yiwei was still talking to Tian Ni one second, and suddenly stopped talking the next second. Everyone at the table saw it.

Although everyone knew his character directly or indirectly, it was still embarrassing to be treated like this.

Tian Ni drank water to cover up her embarrassment.

She knew that this cooperation would most likely fail.
Ge Man's expression was not very good. Although she wanted to promote this cooperation, once the 300 million box office bet was brought out, there was nothing she could do.

She took the initiative to toast Tian Ni with a glass of wine and changed the topic to other directions to ease the current atmosphere.

But Liu Min, who had not said a few words after sitting down, suddenly spoke:

"Does Director Peng have no confidence in the box office of 3 million?"

Liu Min is the second youngest person at the table besides Leyan.

As soon as she came in, Tian Ni only introduced that she was run by the president, but did not elaborate on what she did, so no one paid attention to her.

In such a situation where we are talking about gambling, and the conversation has obviously broken down, how dare a little girl open her mouth?

Peng Yiwei asked vaguely:
"Do you know how much money the box office champion of literary and artistic films in Chinese history paid?"

Liu Min smiled and nodded:

"Of course I know. "Only You Know" directed by Feng Pingan has a box office of 1.67 million." Peng Yiwei did not expect that Liu Min could answer the question and answer it correctly.

He wiped his mouth and continued to ask:
"Then do you know what the average box office of Chinese literary films is?"

Liu Min still had a smile on her face:

"It's hard to count, because many literary and artistic films can't even make it to the stage of release."

It is a big hurdle for a literary film to pass censorship.

Many films have been rejected before release due to censorship issues.

Peng Yiwei also smiled and asked with a grin:

"Since you know everything, how dare you say the number 3 million?"

Liu Min suddenly stopped smiling, knocked on the table and asked:
"Then do you know how much box office bonus a popular star can bring to a movie?"

Everyone present was shocked and looked at Le Yan who was busy showing off his rice.

Oh my god, are you there too?
Forget about you!
Le Yan was also shocked.

Liu Min's tone and demeanor when she said this sounded like Ye Xinchun.
Tian Ni also felt the same way.

It wasn't just Liu Min's tone and demeanor that shocked her, but also what she said.

Why did she forget to include Le Yan?
The box office of literary films is generally very low.

But that's because there are no popular stars making artistic films. Because their acting skills are not up to par.

Leyan is a popular star with superb acting skills, and he is very likely to become a top-notch actor. In this way, the dramas played by Leyan are not dramas in the general sense.

While everyone else was looking at Le Yan, Peng Yiwei was looking down at the ribs on the plate.

What this girl means is that Leyan can bring a box office bonus to this movie?

There will indeed be, but how many?
Liu Min said in the same tone as Ye Xinchun:
"Let me share with you some internal numbers."

She looked at Le Yan and said:
"Leyan's first album sold 2 million copies in 178 months, with a unit price of 188, and total sales of 3.3 million."

"The commemorative album set sold 32 copies, with a unit price of 588, and sales of 1.8 million."

"Sold 6.1 pieces of vinyl, with a unit price of RMB 800, and sales of RMB 4880 million."

Every time she said a set of numbers, the table would exclaim, and at the same time the look at Leyan would change.

Oh my god.

Leyan, you are simply a walking money printing machine.

Are you that valuable?

Let me pull two hairs!

Peng Yiwei's eyebrows furrowed into a splay.

Album sales and box office are not the same thing, and those who buy albums may not necessarily watch the movie.

But Liu Min hasn’t finished her words yet:
"Director Peng should have seen the pre-sale box office of "The Pretender", right?"

Peng Yiwei’s deputy at the table answered:

"See, pre-sales so far are 2134 million."

This number has far exceeded their expectations, but it is still far away from the 3 million that the superstar wants.

Liu Min continued:
"I want to tell you a piece of news. Leyan's fans are very organized and disciplined. According to the colleagues responsible for connecting with the fan station, a large number of fans will start buying tickets on the day of the premiere. The pre-sale you are seeing now It’s just the spontaneous behavior of scattered fans. From the data we obtained internally, the ratio between casual fans and fans who operate fan sites is 1:13. Therefore, our internal actuary estimates that the box office of "The Pretender" will be at least 3 million. , this is the most conservative number.”

Loose fans just buy tickets to watch.

The "rich women who spend money without batting an eyelid" are the ones who need to provide data for Leyan. Looking at it this way, the ratio is definitely not 1:13.

Everyone looked at Peng Yiwei expectantly.

One movie costs 3 million. Isn’t this a success?

What are you still hesitating about?

Agree quickly.

Who is sighing every day?
Peng Yiwei's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

He did not doubt that what Liu Min said was false. In this situation, her words represented the entire Superstar Entertainment, so she would not dare to do so.

But he can't sign against the bet.

How can he survive in the industry after this news spreads?

A director of literary films betting on box office?

It was Ge Man who knew Peng Yiwei well and knew that he was embarrassed to speak out, so he came to his rescue:
"Since everyone is so confident in the box office, why not stop signing and betting? There is no need."

Liu Min said reluctantly:

“Everything is more practical when it is put down in black and white.”

"But Director Peng has never signed a bet in all these years." Ge Man continued to explain, "This is a matter of principle."

Liu Min still refused to give in:
"This is business."

In fact, everyone at the table really hopes that this cooperation can be negotiated, but they are stuck on this gambling agreement.

And it seems that there is no possibility of concession from the superstar's side.

Tian Ni was sweating. She had touched half of Peng Yiwei's thigh. How could she let him slip out?

But Liu Min had already made her attitude clear here, and she couldn't dismantle herself, so she could only look to Le Yan for help.

My ancestors!

Please think of a solution quickly.
Leyan continued eating unmoved.

Remember me now?
late
However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Peng Yiwei who was obviously wilted beside him.

That was Peng Yiwei's look that Le Yan had never seen before.

Helpless, helpless, and a little at a loss.

According to Peng Yiwei's character, it's hard for him to sit here and talk about things unrelated to movies for so long.

It can be seen that he is really desperate.

Le Yan put down his chopsticks and sighed.

what movie?
Can you be so persistent?

At this moment, Peng Yiwei's heart was at war between heaven and man.

He owed this movie to Deng Xuefeng.

If he hadn't tortured Deng Xuefeng in his early years, he probably wouldn't have become such an extreme person and spent so many years training as an apprentice behind closed doors.

It's funny to say that Peng Yiwei is half dead, and he only has a few or two true friends.

Deng Xuefeng used to be the best one, but now he has become an enemy.

Peng Yiwei no longer hopes to repair his friendship with Deng Xuefeng, but only hopes to give him some compensation.

Now Deng Xuefeng has finally made a comeback, and is eager to find what he lost as his old brother.
Sacrifice something, just sacrifice something.

You can’t lose a piece of meat, can you?
"I -" As soon as he started to speak, his arm was held down.

Le Yan asked Peng Yiwei in a low voice:
"It's written in black and white on the contract, but it doesn't have to be described as 'gambling agreement,' and it's guaranteed not to be spread out. Can you accept it? You don't have to worry about the box office, this number is very safe."

The numbers in Liu Min's mouth are all true.

Leyan is very aware of its ability to 'attract money'.

She said that "The Pretender"'s box office of 5 million was very conservative. Leyan Studio's estimate was million.

From this point of view, the superstar is full of sincerity for cooperation.

Since both parties were very sincere, it would be a pity that the talks fell apart like this.

As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than one marriage.

Just think of a way to make Peng Yiwei and Superstar worship heaven and earth.
Peng Yiwei said with a sad face:

"I can accept it, but can the girl in your company accept it? Look at her aggressive look."

Even if the cooperation is successful, Peng Yiwei is still worried about the future.

This girl is so sassy!

Who is she?

Understanding Peng Yiwei's attitude, Le Yan interrupted the conversation between Ge Man and Liu Min and asked Liu Min the same question:
"The contract is written in black and white, but it is not described as 'gambling agreement' and it is guaranteed not to be spread. Is it acceptable?"

Everyone at the table saw it.

Superstar is in charge this time, this young and beautiful girl, even Tian Ni wants to act based on her eyes.

Therefore, no one has much hope for Leyan's act of persuasion.

Just be your money printing machine!

Don't let children interfere with adults' matters.

did not expect.
Liu Min paused and seemed to be really thinking about the suggestion put forward by Le Yan.

The way the crowd headed by Peng Yiwei looked at Le Yan changed again.

Ok?
Are you really good at talking? ?

Liu Min thought for a long time and finally said two words:
"can."

Before getting on the plane, Ye Xinchun also sent a message to Liu Min.

She told Liu Min that on the premise of ensuring cost recovery, if Leyan gave other opinions during the negotiation, his decision would prevail.

Therefore, the final spokesperson for the superstar in this negotiation was actually Leyan.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the crowd headed by Tian Ni on Superstar's side also changed when they looked at Leyan.

The prince is the prince!

The princess is not easy to do in front of the prince! ! (End of chapter)
