fantasy entertainment empire

Chapter 40
People from Lewen Group ran out of the meeting room and didn't come back for a long time.

Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi sat calmly.

Now, Fan Zhe has gradually entered the role.Although he had never been involved in a business negotiation like this, he was learning at an astonishing rate.

"Are they in a hurry?" Fan Zhe asked Ye Jiayi in a low voice.

"Hmm." Ye Jiayi said, "We offered them a price that would give them hope. They definitely didn't expect it in advance. Now, they should really want to have a good talk with us."

Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi were right.

When Kappa reported the matter to the boss on the phone, he even heard the sound of the boss breaking the cup.

Obviously, the boss over there has also seen the works of 'Dimension Entertainment'.

"Adjust the strategy, communicate with the people of Dimension Entertainment, and see if the price can be lowered... According to the budget requested by the current producer, I authorize you to increase it by 20.00%."

"Too little boss."

The boss obviously understood, he thought about it, and said: "We need to control the cost, no matter how high it is, how much money do we make?"

"All right……"

After hanging up the phone, Kappa returned to the conference room.

Standing at the door of the conference room, he took a deep breath.

It was a huge surprise that the idea that was originally a daydream actually came true.

According to what he thinks, it is best to take this opportunity to agree. For 150 million episodes, buying an animation of that level is a bloody profit, so what else is there to talk about?What if people just have a twitch of their brains and talk and talk again later?
But he can't be the master.

However, despite this, now that the dawn of hope has fallen, what he has to do is to try to catch it.

After taking three deep breaths, the kappa cheered up, pushed the door open with a smile and walked in.

A new round of negotiations has begun.

The kappa, who was full of expectations, was hit head-on by Ye Jiayi at the very beginning of the negotiation.

Originally thought that after this woman made great strides to let more than half of the price, it would not be difficult to cut down a little.But after the negotiation started, the kappa found that the other party was very, very stubborn about the price, and it was very difficult to bargain down the price.

In the end, it froze at the price line of 130 million.

At the end of the chat, Kappa became impatient, and even said things like 'our quotation to the current producer is 80', 'the boss is only willing to increase by 20.00% at most', '100 million is the final quotation, please'. They all said it.

This is indeed true, it has reached the limit, he has completely lost to Ye Jiayi at the negotiating table, he has said everything he should say, even his own trump card.

Kappa also knew that he shouldn't say that, he was not professional at all, but he was really forced to do nothing, so he could only look at Ye Jiayi and Fan Zhe helplessly.

Seeing him like this, let alone Ye Jiayi, Fan Zhe could tell that the opponent had indeed reached the bottom line.

He and Ye Jiayi looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Ye Jiayi coughed twice, and said, "Unfortunately, the quotation of 130 million single episodes is our final bottom line..."

Hearing this sentence, Kappa turned pale.

The worst thing is that there is no hope, but when you clearly see hope, it is immediately shattered.

However, Ye Jiayi's next words rekindled his hope.

"However, we can conditionally accept the offer of 100 million production costs for a single episode."

As if a drowning man grasped at the last straw, the Kappa asked, "What conditions?"

"Your company is an upstream content company, the source of online novels, and has a large number of high-quality copyrights. We can make concessions on production costs, but we hope to buy some adaptation copyrights from your company as a supplementary price difference."

After speaking, Ye Jiayi took out a list from the folder in front of her and handed it to Kappa.

This is a directory of works, with the names of more than a dozen online novels written on it.

After reading these names, Kappa said: "This is impossible. The copyright licensing fee for just one work of "Martial Arts Master" is worth at least tens of millions."

Not to mention how much Kappa's words are bragging, but Ye Jiayi understands very well that the total difference in production costs is only about 300 million, and it is impossible to exchange for the acquisition of the IP rights of so many works.

"We don't require all the works." Ye Jiayi said, "There are fifteen works in this list, and we need you to sell us the full IP rights of three of them, with a total price of 300 million. And, For all the works on the list, we have the right of first refusal in the future, that is, when any third-party company wishes to purchase the works on the list, we have the right to match the bid.”

Ye Jiayi's meaning is obvious. The total price of 130 million for a single episode and 300 million for ten episodes remains unchanged.Accept the cash offer of 100 million single episodes, but the remaining 300 million needs to be made up by the sale of the IP rights of the three works.

Kappa fell into deep thought.

He glanced at the book list in his hand. As the middle and high-level leader of the copyright marketing department of Lewen Group, Kappa still has a relatively clear understanding of the copyright value of books within the group.

In this list of books, he could tell at a glance that many of them were basically used as bargaining chips.For example, such as squid's "Budao Grandmaster" and "The King of the World".The price difference negotiated by the two parties was only 300 million in total, and it was impossible to offset the price with works of this level.

However, there are still some works that are not so famous, and even their own achievements are not very good at all, and it seems that they will not feel too distressed when they are brought out.

Although this is still beyond Kappa's negotiating authority, he feels that this plan is quite reliable.

I contacted the boss on the phone, and after getting the authorization, he started the third round of negotiations with Ye Jiayi.

This time, the negotiation progressed very quickly. Before dark, the two parties basically reached an agreement. They did not get three works, but the other party only agreed to give them two.

The general content is as follows:

"Lewen Group (Party A) commissioned Dimension Entertainment (Party B) to act as the producer of the second season of "Full-time Master" animation. The two parties agreed on a total production cost of 300 million yuan to produce 22 episodes of content. A single episode will exclude the opening and ending credits. , the content of the feature film should not be less than [-] minutes."

"The 1000 million yuan in the production cost will be paid in cash, with a 30% deposit paid in advance, 60% paid after the finished product is produced and accepted by Party A, and a final 10% paid after the work is launched."

"Party B purchased the entire copyright of the two works "Evolutionary 46 Billion Ensemble" and "Special Events Team" from Party A at a price of 300 million yuan, which will be used as a deduction for the production expenses payable by Party A."

Of course, a real contract cannot be so simple.The rights, obligations, responsibilities and other regulations in various aspects are written on dozens of pages.

But all in all, Fan Zhe is very satisfied with the result of this negotiation.
