Chapter 167 Entering the World and Wang Hui's Family and Friends Group
Chapter 167: Going international and Wang Hui’s family and friends (fourth update)
After returning to the room, Jiang Yan took a long shower.
He has played a eunuch, but he is not a real eunuch.
A beautiful woman throws herself into her arms. If you say you are not moved, it is all lies.
But he is willing to have a pure sprint of friendship. When it is over, no one should worry about the other person, and it is tacitly understood.
But the girl comes here with feelings, and you use this to covet her body, that is despicable.
In other worlds, you can be unscrupulous and cheat and attack in reality, which is just messing around.
It feels great, but what about next?
So for Zhou Zhiruo, Jiang Yan has no choice but to say sorry, he is not ready to break the precept yet.
However, he also knew that feelings are the most complicated word, and even gods may not be able to avoid it, let alone a mortal like him.
So if you really can't take it anymore one day, then treat it well and keep it from beginning to end.
He didn't want to really ascend one day and leave behind a lot of debts.
Of course, he also knows that relationships have a shelf life. Zhou Zhiruo is an actor in the entertainment industry. It is almost impossible for this kind of thing to happen from beginning to end, so it is not too difficult to achieve it from beginning to end...
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Jiang Yan finished his breakfast and started today's work.
...
Actually, from Jiang Yan's point of view, if they really wanted to cooperate with the four major record companies, they would exclude two of them first.
EMI now has Yehenala, and Universal has Zhang Xueyou.
In addition, EMI will become weaker and weaker and will eventually be acquired. Universal is about the same, so the only choice is between Sony and Warner.
Sony, Neon's company, will develop into the world's largest music record company in the future.
Warner, an American company, is currently the weakest in mainland China, but its strength in Europe and the United States is very strong.
And the parent companies of both companies are influential in Hollywood.
Therefore, if Jiang Yan wants to cooperate, one of the requirements is that he can help in film and television.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Yan just wants to use such a large company as a springboard to prepare for the international expansion of film and television.
He also knew that this kind of request was a bit embarrassing, and it seemed a bit unfair for a singer to talk about cooperation mainly in film and television.
But he feels that this kind of request is actually simpler than participating in a performance. After all, he is sending money.
So Jiang Yan doesn't care, this is what he wants.
If he agrees, he will talk about it. If he doesn't agree, forget it and he will find another way.
So during the formal negotiations, Sony showed some hesitation.
They seemed to be only interested in Jiang Yan's music.
Warner, on the other hand, is more open-minded and can talk about it in detail, and can even promote the overseas copyright sales of "Infernal Affairs".
Jiang Yan naturally just listened to this.
Sony hesitated, maybe people already knew it in their minds, but they just showed it like this.
Warner is grand, but it’s hard to say that there’s nothing wrong with it, so let’s blow it out first.
Jiang Yan didn't care so much. After talking about his film and television requirements, he talked about music.
He said the same thing to everyone:
"I have prepared the songs for the next album. The quality is similar to "DNA", or even better. I have included three foreign language songs, so in terms of songs, I hope that the next album can be a hit.
Asia."
In fact, he didn't prepare a single song.
But he still acted arrogant and confident in his songs.
The meaning is also very simple. After cooperation, you will directly obtain a divine specialization.
As for those three foreign language songs, you have to pay attention to them. Jiang Yan said he wanted to break out of Asia, so you have to make corresponding plans no matter what.
If we can come up with a plan, then we can consider it. If we just want to frame it in Asia, then I'm sorry.
Finally, Jiang Yan said: "This is my request. Film and television investment and production, as well as the international operation of songs, you can go back and consider it first."
These two requests are actually quite false, and it will be fine if the other party agrees through deception.
But this is only the first step. After approval, the next step of negotiation is between lawyers.
...
After bidding farewell to the four heads one by one, Jiang Yan no longer cared about what they thought and went directly back to the hotel.
If you are interested, we will naturally follow up later.
The reactions of the four people were also very different.
Universal and EMI have basically given up.
Universal has strength in film and television, but they are only interested in Jiang Yan as a singer.
I am not optimistic about getting involved in Hollywood movies.
Even though "Infernal Affairs" looks really powerful, there are still great risks.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Universal currently lacks confidence and does not have much money to bet on.
EMI was even worse than Universal. They had almost no strength in film and television, so they gave up directly.
Sony said it would go back and discuss it carefully.
He has also watched "Infernal Affairs". It is indeed a good film. In addition to the Japanese version of "The Wind Rises", he is extremely optimistic about Jiang Yan and thinks that this guy is a genius, and geniuses can never be
Measured by common sense.
It's a pity that he is not a big boss, and although Neon Company is rich and wealthy, it is very ambitious to enter various fields.
But he is very cautious about cross-border matters.
In a word, if Jiang Yan did not mention the film and television requirements, but only mentioned the singer requirements.
So any request, as long as it doesn't open the lion's mouth, can be agreed to today.
What they are optimistic about is the path of music.
But once it involves other areas, and it is formally required in the form of a contract, then it has to be reported to the head office, and then discussed and discussed again, and the efficiency plummets.
Because of this, the head of Sony who was responsible for the negotiations had some headaches.
But what can I do if I have a headache? Let’s race against time and go through the process.
Warner also encountered the same problem. After all, he was just the head of a branch under the parent company. He was completely incompatible with Warner Brothers in film and television. If he really wanted to discuss this matter, he had to report it to the parent company first. The parent company felt that
If it is feasible, then coordinate with the film and television departments at all levels.
As a result, the efficiency is directly reduced.
But Warner's new head Zhou Jianhui is a ruthless person.
After the negotiation ended, he directly called his teacher in Lao America and conveyed Jiang Yan’s request. Before the teacher said anything, Zhou Jianhui said directly:
"If I miss Jiang Yan, I will resign."
When his teacher heard this, he immediately took it seriously: "Send his movie over."
Zhou Jianhui said: "I'll come over now."
...
Back at the hotel, Wu Yong also started reporting for the day.
The first is various newspapers.
Without exception, "Infernal Affairs" has been praised to the sky. Oh no, this is called factual reporting, how can it be called a boast?
Then Jiang Yan's screenwriting ability was also praised to the sky, and Jiang Yan was embarrassed to see all the names.
So just skip it and deal with the next problem.
Endorsements, interviews, program invitations, film and television invitations, a thick stack of lists appeared on the table, and Wu Yong was happy and distressed.
Jiang Yan waved his hand and decided to deal with Wang Hui and Zhou Zhiruo first. As for his own, if he could be bound to one, one, two, he would give priority.
Silly Qiang is famous, May is stunning on the red carpet, now is the time for these two to harvest.
Jiang Yan can take his time, but the two of them can't be so salty.
After processing, Wu Yong said again: "Wang Hui said that many relatives will come to the Xingtai stop. I think we have to restrict it, otherwise the theater will be full of their people."
Jiang Yan asked curiously: "How many people?"
Wu Yong stretched out two fingers and said: "Almost two hundred."
