Super Zoo

With the popularity of Zootopia, the first two overseas distribution companies, Formosa Vieshow and Philippine National Rights, took the initiative to raise their bids, especially Formosa, which directly raised the price by nearly ten times, 7 million Chinese yuan, and the Philippines also increased it.

The total price of both parties is close to 10 million, and this number can still be negotiated.

The initial offer of the two companies, more than 1 million Chinese yuan, was based on the fact that the box office in the mainland was less than 10 million in three days. After four weeks, the total box office in the mainland exceeded 350 million, and the other party's offer was of course rising, and a new price higher than yesterday was given almost every day.

Su Ming did not give any response, and still asked the entertainment company to send people to treat them to good food, drink and fun, but did not have any substantive negotiations with the other party.

The two companies were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Because with the popularity of Zootopia, more and more companies are interested in purchasing overseas distribution rights. Long Wu mentioned seven or eight countries such as India, Japan, and South Korea before, and companies have contacted Su Ming and offered not low prices. Theaters in four countries have even sent special personnel to Yangchuan City.

Although Su Ming did not speak or contact the other party about the price of the distribution rights, he was very "frank" in other aspects. He did not hide the intention of other countries to buy the distribution rights. Whenever the other company asked about it, the comrade from the public relations department of the entertainment company who entertained them would say with a smile, "General Manager Su is too busy recently, please wait a moment. Don't worry, General Manager Su treats everyone equally. For example, General Manager Su did not receive any company from any country..."

Then, most of them would ask, "Does that company also want to buy the distribution rights?"

The PR department would say with a smile, "Of course, not only do they want to buy, but so and so are also in the process of negotiating..."

Even all the people who came to discuss the distribution rights were arranged to live in the same hotel and on the same floor.

The hotel waiter was surprised to find that the small half of the sixth floor was full of foreigners. The strange thing was that many of these foreigners seemed to know each other before.

They were all working in the same direction in the industry, so it was not uncommon for them to know each other. The foreigners who came to discuss the distribution rights visited each other during the day and talked about things. Sometimes they would argue and argue until their faces turned red. At night, they would sit in the bar downstairs and drink and laugh.

All the people received the same news. The producer Mr. Su agreed to sell the overseas distribution rights, but he had no substantial contact with any of them.

"Mr. Park, you are a senior in the industry. In your opinion, what does Taoyuan Entertainment mean?"

"Mr. Sakata, you are too polite! I think it is clear that the other party wants us to compete with each other!"

"But we all belong to different countries. There is no conflict of interest in showing in our respective countries. The price of purchasing the distribution rights does not affect each other, and there is no possibility of competition."

"Mr. Songpashan makes sense!"

"The Chinese people's thinking is really puzzling. They neither agree nor refuse. If they keep us for nothing, don't they have to spend money?"

"Mr. Chen, there are many Chinese in Singapore. What do you think?"

"Oh, although they are all yellow-skinned, I am not Chinese. Our thinking in Singapore is closer to that of Westerners." , it is really hard to judge. "

"Dear gentlemen! I have a suggestion. Since the other party has given us the opportunity to get together, why don't we reach an agreement first."

"Please speak, Sakata-kun."

"Obviously, the other party hopes to sell the overseas distribution rights and hopes to sell them at a high price, so they will contact us sooner or later. Then in order to protect the interests of various countries, I suggest that we form an alliance. In the negotiation, no company should harm the interests of other companies. We can negotiate with Taoyuan Company in a unified manner based on the box office expectations of our own countries and try to lower the distribution price. "

"I agree with Sakata-kun's opinion."

"I agree too."

...

When the enemy comes, the general will stop him, and when the water comes, the earth will build a dam. If you eat this meal, you won't be afraid of sand knocking your teeth. Su Ming wanted to raise the distribution price, but he never contacted other countries. The countries also had ways to deal with it. They privately conducted a small series of connections and prepared to work together to lower the distribution price of Zootopia.

It is hard to say how much this alliance can play a role, but there is strength in numbers. A collective negotiation can definitely bring more pressure to Su Ming than a single company's "begging". If it is not handled properly, it will even directly affect the distribution of this film in the whole of Asia.

Of course, not all companies in all countries in the alliance are of one mind.

"Mr. Ike, I understand. Thank you very much for your information." In front of Su Ming sat a thin little man.

A deputy general manager of the Malaysian cinema, Ike.

"The great apostle of Mazda, you are the mentor of all the Jews in Malaysia. It is an honor for me and my family to serve you." Mr. Ike nodded and smiled.

Although Zoroastrianism is in decline, it is a world-class sect that has been around for a long time. It is widely distributed all over the world. In the early 20th century, Zoroastrian believers even established a huge business empire, the most famous of which is the East India Company.

Many of the branches of Zoroastrianism distributed around the world are Jews, who have very good business capabilities. The owner of this cinema chain in Malaysia is a Zoroastrian. Ike is the owner's nephew, and his family has worshipped the god of fire for generations.

When God exists in legends, illusory and untouchable, it can not respond to believers, but once God walks in the world in the true body of the messenger, it must bring tangible benefits to believers, otherwise it will definitely cause dissatisfaction and suspicion of believers.

"The God of Fire will reward your loyalty." Su Ming looked like a charlatan, "Mr. Al, you can continue to team up with them and negotiate with my company, but I promise you that your cinema is the only authorized cinema in Malaysia, and the release price must be the lowest."

"Thanks to the generosity of the God of Fire." Al hesitated for a moment and said, "Please be careful. Those people from cinemas in various countries have rich negotiation experience. Excuse me, in their eyes, you are still a novice."

"Okay, I understand." Su Ming stood up to see him off.

Every industry has the bad habit of bullying novices, because novices don't understand the industry, have little experience, and don't have a wide network of contacts. If you don't bully, it's a waste. If you bully, it's a waste.

However, Su Ming was not prepared to be bullied from the beginning.

He had no intention of going out to talk to these people himself.

"Brother Shi, congratulations, you made a fortune this time." Su Ming smiled on the other side of the camera.

"Congratulations, everyone is getting rich." Long Wu was also smiling.
