It was still the same private room as last time, with Chen Feng and Sister Hong sitting face to face.
"This is the contract I drafted. Take a look at it. The licensing fee you want is three hundred thousand."
Chen Xiaohong still had a vigorous and resolute attitude. As soon as she came over and took a few sips of coffee, she took out the contract she had drawn up.
Chen Feng took it and read it carefully. It was just one page and he finished it in two or three minutes.
"Your authorization period is 20 years, which is too long. Ten years at most." Chen Feng pointed out directly.
"No. At least 20 years. This song must be preserved as Feifei's masterpiece for 20 years."
"In 20 years, the price of 300,000 is too little. You should know that this is a song that is destined to be a hit. I will exclusively license it to you for 300,000. After you wait for the album to be released, it may only take a few days to have it on the Internet.
I can make money by paying for downloads. In that case, I would be at a huge loss."
"You are only the creator of this song, not the singer. It is definitely wrong for you to settle accounts like this."
"That's it. I don't need cash for this song. I only need a share of paid downloads on the Internet, and it only takes 3 achievements."
"No. Even for Master Cao Qing, we bought out his songs for 300,000 yuan at a time. You have to understand that you are not well-known in song creation. We can give you 300,000 yuan, which is already the top price in the country.
Already."
“What about the 20% of digital copyright revenue?”
"...If you act like this, I will be very disappointed. Feifei will also be very disappointed in you. She has always regarded you as a partner and friend."
"It's a business deal... Okay, don't look at me like that. Okay, I'll sign."
Under Chen Xiaohong's cold gaze, Chen Feng took the pen and signed his name on the contract.
Chen Feng actually also knew that the price offered by the other party was already quite high. This was due to the general environment. Music creators were just like Internet novel writers in previous lives, and some of their own rights and interests could not be well protected and valued.
Although the copyright protection in this time and space is quite good, it is still similar to the previous life. As the other party said, even a famous music master like Cao Qing only sold off the copyright at one time. He, a rookie in the music industry, can sing the same songs as Cao Qing.
The price is already quite impressive.
It is basically non-existent in the domestic music scene now that songwriters participate in the profit sharing of singers' songs. If they do, they are rare.
But Chen Feng definitely can't sign this contract so easily, because he must make the other party feel that he has suffered a big loss. In this way, the other party should make efforts to make up for him in terms of promoting the movie's release.
After seeing Chen Feng finally sign obediently, Chen Xiaohong's face looked better.
"300,000, I will call you within two days." After putting away the contract, Chen Xiaohong stood up and looked like she was about to leave.
Chen Feng said quickly: "Wait a minute. I want to tell you about the movie by the way. Last time, Sister Fei said that she asked you to go and say hello to Wanjia Cinemas. What did they say?"
Chen Xiaohong frowned slightly and said: "I have seen some of the finished movies you made. I think it is a bit boring. Even if Wanjia Cinema agrees to release it, the number of films may not be very high. And in terms of specific sharing, maybe
There will be more pressure. I think it is best for you to find a distributor for this movie. Let them package and promote it and run it to theaters."
Chen Xiaohong obviously didn't care much about Chen Feng's low-budget film. Although Liu Qinfei said that the film was well made and even sent her a copy. But she, a busy person, didn't have much time to watch it patiently.
. She just watched the first few minutes, then fast forwarded, and then watched the next few minutes. It involved religion, ethics, philosophy, history, etc., and she was not interested at all. Instead, she found it a bit boring.
Therefore, she generally concluded that although this movie was not a bad movie, it was still a very mediocre work. It would be good if it could recover the cost at the box office. As for making a profit, she had no hope at all.
After all, the investment was only 500,000 yuan, which was not a big sum of money. What's more, she signed an agreement with Chen Feng. If the movie failed to make a profit, Chen Feng would have to pay back the capital and profits to Liu Qinfei's studio.
"Then you can give me the phone number of the person in charge of Wanjia Cinemas. I'll go talk to him."
"Okay. I'll send you a text message later. I'm leaving first."
After Chen Xiaohong finished speaking, she picked up her briefcase and quickly walked out of the private room.
After Chen Feng finished his coffee, he stood up and left.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I was politely stopped by a waiter.
"Sir, I'm sorry, it seems you haven't paid the bill yet."
Chen Feng was dumbfounded: "The woman with me didn't pay the bill?"
The waiter smiled and shook his head.
Damn it! Chen Feng is speechless. Chen Xiaohong is too stingy. The cup she drank cost more than 100 yuan, while his only cost 58. In addition, the minimum consumption of the private room is 288. This is really deceiving.
Many people around were looking at him. Chen Feng also wanted to save face, so he suppressed the idea of temporarily ordering a few egg tarts to make up for the 288.
After paying the bill and coming out, Chen Feng swore in his heart that he would never come to this bullshit cafe again.
Three days later, Chen Feng received the good news. The film had passed the review, which was much faster than he expected.
Chen Feng first called Ma Xinhong, the manager of Wanjia Cinemas, and agreed to go to him to discuss the release of the movie.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng and Jia Yong came to Wanjia Cinemas Company together.
In the manager's office, Chen Feng met Ma Xinhong, who was only in his thirties, wearing glasses and a suit, and his hair was meticulously styled.
"I took the time to watch your movie yesterday. I can only say that it's quite satisfactory and doesn't have many highlights. However, it's still relatively novel. Such low-cost indoor dramas are relatively rare in China. We, Wanjia, can afford 2 million
Buyout.”
Three days ago, Chen Feng had contacted Ma Xinhong and gave him a copy of "This Man". However, he did not expect that the other party would buy it out.
After Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "Manager Ma, we are here to show at Wanjia. If you think it is okay, just sign a contract with us. I believe that the box office will not disappoint you. As for the box office share, I can refund
3 points.”
Box office rebates are an unspoken rule. Therefore, Chen Feng does not want to be exempt from the rule.
Ma Xinhong shook his head and said: "If you insist on releasing it yourself, I can't guarantee you the number of films. If you want to rebate, I'll tell you the truth, it will take at least 6 points. This is still for Sister Hong's sake. Otherwise,
There is no way this film will be released in our theaters."
Chen Feng was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll think about it again."
Jia Yong, who was next to him, said with a smile: "Manager Ma, I wonder if you are free tonight? Let's go out for a drink. I have an acquaintance at the Champs Elysees bar."
The Champs Elysees Bar is a high-end entertainment venue in Beijing, famous for its beautiful female escorts. Jia Yong has been in the entertainment industry for several years. As a group leader, he naturally has the opportunity to follow some important figures from the crew to and from these venues. Yes.
These doorways are relatively familiar.
Ma Xinhong's eyes lit up slightly, but then he shook his head and said, "No need. I've been very busy these days and I don't have time. If your film wants to be released, this is the condition."
"Okay. Let's go back and think about it."
Chen Feng was not used to and didn't like Jia Yong's behavior. He stood up and left. Wanjia is not the only theater chain in the country.
Seeing this, Jia Yong had no choice but to smile, nodded to Ma Xinhong, and left.
"3 million! This is the highest price I can give you. You go back and think about it carefully, and give me an answer tomorrow. Don't wait until the expiration date."
When he was almost at the door, Ma Xinhong suddenly added one million.
Chen Feng was too lazy to respond this time. He reached out to open the office door and walked out quickly.
Seeing Chen Feng's attitude, Ma Xinhong looked a little ugly. Personally, he is actually more optimistic about this movie. As he just said, this movie is relatively new. If there is some publicity, it will not be a big hit, but it will be a small hit.
Question. If you buy it for 3 million, it's definitely a good deal. It's just a pity that Chen Feng, a newcomer, doesn't fall into the trap.
