Chen Feng looked sideways. It was Thomas, the film agent whom he had met at the exchange meeting last time.
Chen Feng nodded to him and said, "As you can see, of course I am here to promote my movie. What do you think? Have you found a suitable buyer for me?"
When Thomas heard this, his face was slightly ugly, but he quickly covered it up and said with a smile: "I was planning to go out to call you just now, but I happened to see you here. I found a big customer for you.
, he is willing to fully represent the overseas copyright of your film. He is also willing to give you a certain share of the box office. Come, I will take you to see him."
Thomas pulled Cheng Feng and was about to leave. Jamie immediately stopped him and said, "Tom, this is very inappropriate. He is my customer. I talked to him first. You can't just take him away."
Obviously they knew each other. Considering that both of them were members of this club, they must have had frequent contact with each other.
Thomas smiled and said: "I met Chen the day before yesterday, and Chen also entrusted me. In addition, this time I will take him to see Mr. Smith."
Jamie's expression changed after hearing this, he sat down again unwillingly, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Tom!"
Howard on the side also had a look of disappointment on his face. It seemed that Mr. Smith had some background.
Seeing this, Chen Feng stood up and was about to go with Thomas. At this time, Edward quickly stood up and said, "Chen, can I go with you?"
"Of course, you are my friend." Chen Feng agreed happily.
Thomas only hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
The two of them followed Thomas to a private room. The owner of the private room in this club bar must have a higher status than the person sitting in the booth outside.
There were five people in the private room, three men and two women. Two of the men were in their forties or fifties, and looked very aristocratic in suits and ties. The other man was in his thirties, with a strong build.
His eyes were sharp and he looked like a bodyguard. The two women were both young, beautiful and slender beauties. You could tell at a glance that they were escorts.
"Mr. Smith, Chen, he happens to be here, so I brought him to you. The other one is his friend."
Thomas nodded and bowed slightly and said to a white man sitting in the middle of the sofa.
Smith was a middle-aged handsome guy, smoking a cigar, with an elegant temperament. He raised his hand slightly to signal, and Thomas turned around and led Chen Feng forward.
"Chen, this is Mr. Smith. This is Mr. Smith's friend, the famous director Mr. Richard Smith. He is the chairman of Galaxy Media Group. The group has a film company specializing in overseas film agency distribution.
Mr. Smith has seen your movie and admired it very much. So he is more interested in taking over the overseas distribution business of your movie. He is willing to accept the box office share, but the specific amount of the share needs to be discussed further. "
"Hello, Mr. Smith, Mr. Richard." Chen Feng greeted the two of them calmly and generously.
Smith and Richard nodded slightly toward Chen Feng, and then looked at Chen Feng with scrutiny. The aura of a superior was clearly revealed. But Chen Feng expressed that he was very calm.
Smith suddenly asked, I admire you very much, are you here? This man comes from the earth, the script is very good, very imaginative, and his acting skills are also very good. After all, we have been born in two lives, let alone two
The foreign devil has no conflict of interest with him, so there is really no need to be shorter.
On the contrary, Chen Feng was a little dissatisfied with the slightly neglectful and contemptuous attitude of the two people.
After a while, Smith said: "I found that your film is more suitable for screening in Europe and the United States. If it is remade, the box office may be higher. So I am very interested in acting as an agent for the overseas distribution of this film, and I agree to give it to you
Box office share. Tell me, what is your ideal share?"
Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "The split is at least 40%. My movie has achieved very good box office in our country, which shows that this movie is very marketable, not to mention it is a science fiction suspense film.
Our type has more market in the West."
Smith shook his head and said: "Your domestic box office cannot prove that this movie can also achieve good box office in other countries. There have been too many examples before. Even if it is a blockbuster movie in Hollywood, it may not continue to be released in other countries.
It’s a hit. So I can only give you a 30% share at most.”
Chen Feng also shook his head and said: "This is too low. This movie of mine is not an unproven movie. As you just said, my movie is more suitable for screening and remakes in the West."
Smith took a puff of his cigar and said, "Well, if you add the rights to remake this movie, then I agree to give you 32% of the box office share."
Chen Feng directly refused: "This is impossible. These are two different things. If you want to remake my movie, you can buy out the remake rights for a one-time US$2 million, or give me 10% of the box office share."
"No, no, no, this is impossible. I will buy you a maximum of 1 million US dollars in royalties."
Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "If you agree to my 40% share of this movie, then I can authorize you to remake it for US$1 million."
At this time, Richard suddenly said: "Smith, you have to think clearly. I personally think that a remake of this movie is completely unnecessary. Because the script of this movie is already very difficult to modify, and the scenes of the movie
It only happens inside and outside the villa. If you just replace all the actors and race, and the content of the movie is the same, do you think it is necessary to remake it? Unless you start a new one and find someone to write a new script and make this movie
A sequel to the movie."
Smith said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's a licensing fee of US$1 million for a small production, plus a maximum of US$1 million for filming. Why not give it a try? What if you make a profit?"
Speaking of this, he turned to Chen Feng and said: "1 million U.S. dollars in remake licensing fees and sequel licensing. In addition, the box office share of this film after its overseas release is 35%. If you agree, we can sign the contract immediately."
"Sorry, this is impossible. I have already stated the conditions just now. I will not charge additional fees for the maximum number of sequels authorized. Other conditions remain unchanged."
Smith stared at Chen Feng while smoking a cigar. After watching for a while, he squeezed out the cigar butt, stood up and said, "Well, let's make a bet. Let's play darts. If you win, you can follow your rules."
If you sign a contract with the conditions, it will be mine if I win, do you dare?"
Chen Feng said in his heart that I don't want to play this boring game with you, but just when he was about to refuse, the system prompt in his head suddenly sounded: "There is a new system task triggered. Smith is a darts master, and he is confident that he can win darts."
You. This is a serious insult and contempt for you. You must make a strong response, agree to his bet, and win him.
