To be honest, Chen Feng didn't know what to do at the moment. After all, he was not familiar with the blackmail business, and the matter was in a hurry. He didn't think of any good way to compensate for it.
In fact, Chen Feng didn't want to confront Warner and Paramount openly. Previously, he was even hesitant about having a showdown with Bill Hawke directly. Later, some of his words to the old guy Bill Hawke were too real.
He couldn't help it anymore, so he said it out loud. In fact, after saying it, he at least felt more comfortable in his heart, and his thoughts were clearer. Even if he really went to Warner Bros. or Paramount Hard Steel in the future, he wouldn't be afraid.
But if he could still get some benefits from the other party after having already screwed them hard, he certainly wouldn't mind "shaking hands and making peace" with them.
The question now is, what benefits should be obtained from the other party. As Martin Erich just said, a second role in a big production is definitely not enough.
Of course, it is not possible to directly ask the other party for money. First of all, he is not short of money. Secondly, if you take the money, it will really become blackmail in the true sense. It is very likely to be framed by the other party, and it is easy to leave clues.
Therefore, the benefits requested cannot be a direct monetary relationship.
While Chen Feng was thinking, Martin Erich said again: "How about this? To show our sincerity, our company's HOB TV network will launch a fantasy masterpiece. I can guarantee that after the TV series is launched,
It will dominate the TV remote control at the same time, and the future profits will be very huge. But now because of the huge investment, we still have some internal disputes. I will give you the Meili Beauty Company an opportunity now, you can participate in this fantasy
In the production of a giant TV series, according to our respective investment amounts, we can allocate our casting rights to each other, as well as the future income of this giant TV series."
When Chen Feng heard what he said, he couldn't help but become a little interested. He didn't think that Martin Erich had the intention to continue to trick him at this time, so he asked: "What is the name of this TV series? What is it mainly about?"
Martin Erich hesitated for a moment and then said: "This project is a commercial secret of our company. It should not be leaked to outsiders, but now to show my sincerity, I will tell you and I hope you can keep it secret for me."
Chen Feng didn't think what he said was a lie, but it was not that serious, so he said: "Of course. I will keep it a secret for you."
"Okay. This is a TV series called "A Song of Ice and Fire". You may also know it. It is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name. This novel has now been released in five volumes, and each volume is in the top ten of the year.
A best-seller. Therefore, if it is adapted and made into a TV series, the ratings and payment rates will definitely be high. Just because this is a fantasy novel, the scenes described in it are very vast, especially wars and monsters. If you want to make it well-made,
We have to spend a lot of money on post-production special effects. After preliminary discussions, we plan to shoot one season first, which is one volume, with a total of ten episodes. The production cost for each episode will be as high as 6 million US dollars. This season will cost 60 million US dollars.
Therefore, there are some internal differences within the U.S. dollar that have not yet been finalized.”
Some people may not know the name "A Song of Ice and Fire", but the name "Game of Thrones" is familiar to many people. Young people who have access to the Internet basically know it. In the original time and space, whenever this TV series was released,
At that time, the whole Internet was talking about it. It even caused a phenomenon in the United States and set multiple ratings records.
When Chen Feng was studying at the University of Time and Space, he was also influenced by his classmates and followed this TV series. He watched it intermittently, and the most unacceptable thing was the bad ending.
If the "Song of Ice and Fire" in this time and space was the one in the original time and space, of course he would be eager to agree to it immediately, or... take it as his own.
Chen Feng was a little excited in his heart, but on the surface he said in a casual tone: "I see. I have never heard of this novel before, let alone read it. I don't know if it is good or not. If I wait for a while, I will read it again.
I’ll give you an answer.”
"If you join and share the investment fund with us, that is, if you contribute 30 million US dollars, I can decide to give you 30% of the profit share of Beauty. This includes HOB's distribution costs, as well as the cost of novel adaptation and
Copyright fees. Therefore, if you invest half of the money, you can get 30% of the income, which is already the biggest profit for us."
What Martin Erich said was sincere, and in fact he didn't lie. After all, Warner owns a TV network, and the distribution aspect is not separate from Chen Feng's side, so it is already very friendly.
