After getting off the plane, Jia Yong, Li Dazhi, Liu Qian and others came to pick him up.
"Master, how have you been at home these days? Li Dazhi was the first to ask."
"not bad."
"Then what are we going to do next?"
Chen Feng said: "The next thing our company will mainly do is to authorize the online broadcast rights of This Man from Earth, as well as distribution abroad, and the production and distribution of DVDs. What is the current situation in these three aspects?"
Chen Feng mainly asked Jia Yong.
Jia Yong is now the deputy general manager of Summit Entertainment, and he is now responsible for these aspects.
Jia Yong said with some embarrassment: "Several film distribution companies have contacted me recently, but they only asked to buy out the copyright of our film and did not agree to our share requirements. The largest one was an online video company. We bought out the online broadcast rights for 20 million. An entertainment company wanted to buy out our DVD rights, and the offer was only 5 million, so I didn’t even notify Mr. Chen because the other party’s sincerity was too low.”
Chen Feng nodded in agreement. Although their Summit Entertainment held the title of a company, it was actually just a few of them. It was too small and had no distribution channels of its own.
"This is the Internet age. Don't underestimate the on-demand volume of our movie on the Internet. We definitely need a share of the share. If the other party really wants to buy it out, it will have to wait two years. In the first few years, it will definitely be a share of the .dvd For domestic copyrights, if someone bids 20 million, we will sell it. Now is the Internet age. Although there are people who collect and buy DVDs, they are a niche after all. If 5 million is indeed too low, what I am concerned about now is overseas distribution channels. , and it’s divided into shares, not outright sales, and no overseas company has contacted us yet?”
Li Dazhi and Jia Yong both shook their heads together. Chen Feng couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this. Logically speaking, since his movie has achieved such a high box office in China and received such high reviews, overseas film producers should have been targeting them for a long time. Yes. There must be some reason for this that he doesn't know yet.
"It seems that we have to take the initiative to fight for foreign distribution channels. Not long ago, didn't we receive an invitation from the Fog City International Film Festival? Originally, I didn't plan to go, but now it seems that I will go. ."
Because Chen Feng's movie was released in late October, it missed some of the most influential film festivals this year. The Fog International Film Festival is a second-level international film festival. Compared with Venice, Cannes and Berlin are quite different.
But after all, it can be regarded as a film festival. When the time comes, Chen Feng can promote his film.
"Master, I'll go with you." Li Dazhi quickly expressed his stance.
Chen Feng did not refuse. Li Dazhi was his assistant and apprentice after all, and by the way, he could follow him to see the world.
"Then why don't I go with you?" Jia Yong also said with a yearning look on his face, "I have never been to a foreign country in my life."
Chen Feng glanced at Liu Gan and saw that he also looked yearning, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go together, the four of us."
"Long live Mr. Chen!" Jia Yong quickly flattered him.
Liu Gan also smiled and said: "I mainly observe and learn the shooting techniques of foreign movies."
Jia Yong curled his lips, but didn't complain.
"Get your visa and passport first. Once we get down, we'll set off together."
"good!"
The three of them answered in unison, full of morale.
In the next few days, Chen Feng, the chairman of Summit Entertainment, personally went to negotiate with several major video websites.
Because he insisted on sharing, in the end only a website called Sanxi Video agreed to cooperate with him.
This Sanxi Video was just established at the beginning of this year. Compared with the other three major domestic video sites, its background is quite poor. However, its parent company is one of the four major real estate groups in the country, with assets of hundreds of billions, so it is not short of money.
When negotiating with Chen Feng, the person in charge of the other party also kept a very low profile. He did not refuse Chen Feng's request for a share, but proposed an incremental share method. For example, if his movie's on-demand volume is less than one million, he can only get a share
Five percent share. If the on-demand volume is greater than one million and less than two million, the share increases to eight percent, and so on.
Of course, this plan was acceptable to Chen Feng. The main issue was the specific division of revenue. In the end, both parties gave in and Chen Feng got the division plan he wanted.
The online broadcast rights of "This Man Came from Earth" were exclusively authorized to Sanxi Video.
As soon as the network broadcast rights were negotiated, Liu Qinfei called him and asked her to go to Huihuang Entertainment and let him listen to the recorded version of "Tell You Softly".
As the songwriter of "Tell You Softly", Chen Feng also paid her 300,000 yuan, so of course it was hard not to leave.
I took a taxi and went directly to the headquarters of Huihuang Entertainment Company.
Brilliant Entertainment is one of the top ten entertainment companies in China, ranking relatively high among them. Over the past 20 years since its establishment, it has cultivated many well-known stars at home and abroad.
Although the headquarters building only has five floors, with the podium, it occupies a large area. The main door is an electric sliding door, and there are security booths on both sides of the door, making it look very formal and grand.
Chen Feng registered at the security booth at the entrance, and then the security guard confirmed inside the company before letting Chen Feng in.
This made Chen Feng a little unhappy. After all, he was now a billionaire director. And he came to help. Not only would Liu Qinfei be waiting for him at the gate in person, but at least it would be polite to send someone here.
As a result, he, a billionaire director, was like an ordinary member of the public who came to visit him.
Of course, Chen Feng still has a relatively high professional ethics. If it were anyone else, he might just throw away his sleeves. But after all, he accepted Liu Qinfei's money in the first place. Now that she has recorded the song, she will definitely come to help control it.
After arriving in the lobby of the building, I saw the fat Wang Liya running down the stairs.
"Sorry, Chen Feng, we didn't expect you to come here so soon, so I didn't even wait for you at the gate."
Wang Liya's attitude towards him was not as polite as it is now. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she came too early. After talking to Liu Qinfei on the phone, she didn't waste a second and took a taxi to come over.
"It doesn't matter, take me to see Liu Qinfei."
"Thank you. Sister Fei is in the recording studio on the third floor. I'll take you there."
Wang Liya led the way, and Chen Feng followed. On the way, he met some people, handsome men and beautiful women, all of whom looked attractive, and they all looked at Chen Feng very curiously.
Several people seemed to have recognized him, and they were talking quietly about something, and they all followed him, obviously curious about what he was doing here.
