King of Special Effects

Chapter 461 , Film Distribution Rights! (78)

The cooperation negotiations between Gong Ying and Fox Company are still going on, but even if Cameron came forward, they still maintained the attitude of refusing long-term cooperation.

After several days of negotiations, Gong Ying may have understood what was going on.

"Yi Yang, Fox is willing to cooperate with us on "Three-Body Problem", but if it is long-term, they refuse."

Yi Yang was not surprised when he heard the news: "It's fine if you don't want to, even without them, we can directly cooperate with North American theaters, with the current method, Liangyi Media will open a branch in the United States in the future go."

"Hehe, your ambition is really not ordinary. I think Fox is also afraid of being robbed of the North American market. Now they have many competitors. If someone gets involved again, I am afraid that some people in this place will be unhappy."

"Sister Ying, you don't have to worry about this. They can make a big splash at the box office in the mainland market. We can also make a lot of money in North America. It's not scary to have competitors. The most important thing is market recognition. After all, we are not a movie. They all have to go there to show."

When Yi Yang said this, Gong Ying had no choice but to follow Yi Yang's wishes: "Then what should we do now, shall we cooperate with them in the next "Three-Body Problem"?"

"I'll talk about this at a later time. "Three-Body Problem" is still only on paper. It's too early to say this."

"Alright then, I'll stay in the US until the movie's release is over, and I'll go back before the Chinese New Year. Also, I heard you said that I will develop Ah San's market in the later stage. Is it after the release in the Mainland?"

"Yes, it's best to see how it works in the Mainland and North America first!"

After chatting for more than half an hour, I hung up the phone.

Gong Ying's words made Yi Yang realize how difficult it is to develop the North American market. Even with the approval of the market audience, there are still quite a lot of resistance from all aspects.

Moreover, it is a foreign country, and Yi Yang can't reach it. Of course, if someone insists on putting Liangyi Media in an absolutely disadvantageous situation, then he will use a special method to forcibly open the way, and he will smash the major foreign film markets. .

This is selfish, it is for Yi Yang's own films, and to say the least, it is also for domestic films to gain a place in the international market.

The cooperation contracts of the three major network platforms have also been finalized. After the screening of "Progress" in markets around the world is over, the copyright will be transferred to the three of them.

This is also the second time that Yi Yang has cooperated with the three companies at the same time.

Just after finishing the call with Gong Ying, Liangyi Media also welcomed a guest.

"Brother Yi, Mr. Cheng Yongxiong has just arrived at our company!" Gillian pushed open the door of Yi Yang's office and came in.

Yi Yang was a little unfamiliar with this name, and asked, "Who is Cheng Yongxiong?"

"He is the director of Bernard Films Overseas Distribution Company, a Hong Kong filmmaker." Gillian handed the tablet to Yi Yang: "Here are the details of him and his company."

Overseas distribution?

Now is the time for "Progress" to be released, and this word makes him feel somewhat related.

It took two minutes for Yi Yang to read through the information on the tablet.

"Okay, I'll go to the reception room right away, you first bring me the contract you plan to cooperate with Fox."

Gillian was stunned: "Are you really planning to cooperate with Fox to release the movie "Three-Body Problem"?"

"No, Sister Ying called just now, and they rejected our long-term cooperation plan. It is still unknown whether this movie can be cooperated, but I need this contract now."

Gillian nodded: "Okay, I'll bring it to you right away."

Yi Yang also went out with Gillian: "Just send it to the reception room."

"OK!"

Yi Yang tidied up his attire, and then entered the reception room. There were three other people who came with Cheng Yongxiong, two men and one woman. Although they didn't know each other, but after reading the information just now, he could recognize who Cheng Yongxiong was. .

"Mr. Cheng, welcome!"

Yi Yang just entered the reception room with a polite look on his face. After filming for such a long time, it is normal for Yi Yang to know when to act and what to do.

At a time like this, even if you are acting, you have to act well.

"Hello, Director Yi Yang!" Cheng Yongxiong's voice was still strong: "I've heard of your name a long time ago, and when I saw Director Yi Yang today, you are indeed a very talented person."

"Mr. Cheng was joking. A conference call was delayed just now. I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long!"

"Well, let's watch tea first, and eat later!"

Cheng Yongxiong waved his hand: "It's not busy, it's rude to interrupt us without an appointment today, how dare we ask Director Yi Yang to treat us!"

"Yi Dao, it's like this. We came here this time, firstly, as a way, and secondly, to seek cooperation."

While pouring tea for them, Yi Yang listened: "Oh? How about a cooperation method?"

"Director Yi, you are now a representative of our Chinese films. In the past few films, you have been invincible in the mainland market. With such a good film resource, Director Yi, you need overseas markets."

"As for our Bernard overseas distribution company, after years of development, I think it has fully equipped all the resources that Liangyi Media needs."

"So, I would like to ask Yi Yang's director, is he interested in cooperating with Bernard on distribution?"

Yi Yang smiled lightly, when he heard Gillian tell Cheng Yongxiong's identity in the office just now, he already guessed their purpose of coming to Liangyi Media.

From the first film, Yi Yang's film distribution rights were in his own hands, that is, he found Gong Ying as the distribution agent, responsible for negotiating distribution everywhere, and then gave them a share.

Yi Yang thinks this kind of cooperation is very good, so he has never released the distribution rights.

Just like Manwei, her own movies are released by herself.

Therefore, regarding the distribution methods of some movies in the market, Yi Yang really hasn't figured out the specific inside story of the cooperation.

"Mr. Cheng, you also know that I have not been in the industry for a long time, and I don't know much about cooperation in this area. Please explain in more detail."

Cheng Yongxiong looked at the three people who came with him, and continued: "That's it, you are in charge of filming, I am in charge of distribution, and share resources."

"What about the conditions?"

"This can be determined according to movies of different themes or movies of different quality!"

"Take Yi Dao's previous blockbuster "Under Deep Space" as an example. You shoot us and distribute it. As long as the production is completed and you hand over the distribution rights of the finished film, you don't have to worry about everything in the future. We will take care of it. , we can take 10% to 20% of the box office of the split account!"

It's good that he didn't use "Under Deep Space" as an example, after hearing this, Yi Yang just felt like laughing.

"Yi Dao, I believe that with our resources and conditions, absolutely no other company can open it."

Yi Yang smiled and said, "But my movies have never been distributed to other companies!"
