[My relatives from my hometown are still there, and the bright moon sends my lovesickness. Without the pain of separation, how can we know that it is too late to meet again.--Excerpts from the Mid-Autumn Festival]
If the profit can reach 100%, capital will dare to trample on any law in the world. If there is 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime and even risk hanging. This is what Mr. Ma said
There is a passage in Das Kapital, although it is some exaggerated data, but it can clearly show some characteristics of capital. The guaranteed box office of 200 million given by Ye Ming, basically the producer
It will bring 100% profit, and for advertisers, when they calculate their own profits, the added value of the product they can get at 200 million is basically 100% of the profit they paid.
It is precisely because of Ye Ming's strong commitment that signing the contract this time is very straightforward. There is a big difference between investment in advertising fees and remuneration. For example, when it comes to investing in movies, Ye Ming and
Although Madoff agreed to invest, he would never transfer all the money to the crew's account at once on an issue like this.
Doing it this way is very risky, and it is impossible for a prudent businessman to do it like this.
Therefore, regarding such a problem, in fact, at this time, it is a common practice in the entertainment industry to transfer in batches. For example, for Madoff’s investment, he will first give 5 million, and then send the financial staff to the crew to supervise the use, 500
Almost all of it has been used up, and then the financial officer sent by Madoff checked that there was no problem. There was no waste of money. The money was all used for movie shooting. OK, I will spend the next five million. This money
After it is used up, the finance department will review the accounts again. If there are no problems, the next money will continue to be transferred. Anyway, it will definitely not be transferred all at once.
In fact, Ye Ming also used this method. Huihuang.com also had its own independent finance within the crew. At this time, it was responsible for reviewing all the crew's expenses. Of course, as long as it was a legitimate expense,
The finance is just a decoration, and there will definitely be no obstruction. The remuneration is almost one-third according to the contract, one-third during the middle period of filming, and it is considered good to be able to settle the payment after the filming is completed.
Some crews even said that they would not pay all the actors' remuneration until the movie is released. If it is said that the movie cannot be released, then in terms of such a problem, this thing means that in the end, the actors
Don't even want the paycheck.
This is the entertainment industry. It is normal to settle the film remuneration three times. As for the advertising fee, you can try to settle it three times. In fact, the advertising fee is set and transferred directly. The price can be negotiated before it is set.
Bargaining is a very normal thing, but once a contract is signed, such an issue must be settled in one go. This is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood.
If you don't like the movie, don't go and advertise. Since you have gone, it means you have approved the movie, and you have to give the money happily. For example, the current Fast and Furious crew, in a movie like this
In terms of business, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, etc., actually do not look down on the speed and passion, so if you send invitations to others, they will not come.
In fact, it is normal for BMW to sometimes not be able to beat Hyundai in terms of sales. But where does the BMW identity lie? Qualifications show that it is a world-famous car and it is definitely stylish. Therefore, it will put on airs. Now Ye Ming asks
People come from the roots. Since they have come and placed advertisements, in such a matter, it means that they have approved the movie Fast and Furious at this time, signed the contract, and transferred the money immediately. This is the rule.
After Ito Takanobu, an old fox, walked out and was about to get into the car, he suddenly understood and shouted: "No, I'm still fooled."
At this moment, in the underground garage, the one who came down with Ito Takanobu was Toyoda Akira. In fact, Zheng Yixuan was not far away. The three cars were close to each other. Even Reid was nearby. I
When Dong Xiaosheng shouted, there was an echo in the entire underground garage, and everyone could hear it clearly. Toyoda Akira immediately stopped getting in the car, and at this moment Zheng Yixuan also stopped and looked at Ito Xiaosheng.
.
It was even said that when Red got into the car nearby and was about to start the car, Red immediately signaled the driver to temporarily stop starting the car. He had seen this Takanobu Ito before, an old fox in the automobile industry, Honda Motor
There is a very powerful character in it. Reid actually wanted to see what Takanobu Ito was going to say at a time like this.
Toyoda Akio immediately said curiously: "Senior Ito, is there any problem here? We are saying that the contract that the lawyers of the four companies looked at is a standard Hollywood advertising contract, and there are no omissions in the terms.
We cannot say that all four of our lawyers are out of their minds."
If it is said that the lawyers from one family are out of their minds, then it may be possible, and negligence is inevitable. But if it is said that the lawyers from these four companies are all out of their minds, then such a thing is also possible.
It's almost impossible to happen.
Ito Takanobu immediately said very frustrated: "There is no problem with the lawyer, and there is no problem with the contract we looked at, but the problem is that the contract in Ye Ming's contract is the main prop."
At this time, Zheng Yixuan also said: "Mr. Ito, what's the matter? The main props. What we signed are the main props. Otherwise, why would we pay so much money?"
Ito Takanobu immediately said: "There is no exclusivity agreement in the contract. This is our biggest oversight. Have you forgotten Bididi Auto?"
According to the information I got, in fact, in addition to the four of us, Ye Ming also contacted their Chinese car manufacturer Bididi. But have you encountered Bididi’s car today? "
At this time, both Toyoda Akira and Zheng Yixuan were a little dumbfounded. Yes, they didn't see it. The two of them actually got similar information.
Anyway, as long as it has something to do with this bidding, they will pay attention to it at this time. Although Bididi Automobile is a rookie and has just entered the automobile industry, it has not yet left China and gone global, so it is not worth too much.
attention, but since it has come, it has not appeared today. In fact, if you don’t think about it carefully, it is almost impossible to think of such a problem at this time.
Something is wrong.
Because it was during the bidding process, Ito Takanobu focused his main energy on preventing Toyota, Hyundai, and even the Dodge.
These three companies are Honda's biggest rivals. It's impossible to be careful. Therefore, in such a situation, he has no time to think about Bididi. But now the bidding is completed, although it is a process.
He was not very satisfied, after all, he spent more money, but the result was actually very satisfactory. It was such a satisfactory result that made Ito Takanobu ignore a problem, but before getting in the car, he
Suddenly a question came to mind, where is Bididi Auto? Didn't Bididi Auto come? But why didn't it arrive at the scene?
Toyoda Akira said hesitantly: "Senior Ito, are you saying that Bididi Auto also feels embarrassed? Compared with us, Bididi Auto does not have any advantages at all, so they feel that they may not be competitive.
Five million U.S. dollars is the bottom line. We already have eight million U.S. dollars. It’s hard to say whether a new Chinese automobile company has such an advertising budget.
Therefore, I think it would be wise for them not to come." In fact, when he said this, Toyoda Toyoda himself felt that there were some things that were impossible. On such a problem, it was impossible for Bididi to
I won’t come because of advertising expenses.
But a more reasonable explanation that Akio Toyoda can think of may be this.
It's a pity that Toyoda Zhangnan, Zheng Yixuan, and even Reid thought this way, because these three people didn't think highly of Bididi cars. Therefore, in such a situation, they thought Bididi
In fact, Dee does not have any ability to compete with itself. Not to mention that the Didi car did not come today, in fact, even if it did come, it would be a disgrace to itself.
But Takanobu Ito, an old fox, doesn’t think like this. At his age and status, he will no longer look down on anyone. Otherwise, it would be impossible at this time.
Ito Takanobu suddenly discovered that there was a problem with such a thing, and this problem must have a lot to do with Bididi Automobile.
After all, it means that Bididi is not worthy of attention. Being able to see this is enough to show that Ito Takanobu is worthy of the title of old fox.
Ito Takanobu immediately said with great certainty: "This is absolutely impossible. Bididi cars are new and cannot be reinstalled. At least they do not pose any threat to us now, but you have forgotten one person, Ye Ming
But people from China, to be honest, this guy is definitely a Han nationalist, and he definitely helps his country's enterprises more.
Strictly speaking this time, it should be the Tata Group from India. The cars they manufacture are quite old.
Tata also wants to enter Hollywood. Under such a situation, if the crew of Fast and Furious gives Tata an invitation, then on such a question, needless to say, these Asans
He must be running over in a hurry.
But the result, no matter what the result, is unexpected. In the end, Bididi Motors came. This is Ye Ming's contribution.
If Ye Ming had not decided this matter personally, I would dare to jump off the Empire State Building." At this time, there is no need to think about it. Bididi Automobile is not qualified to come here, but Americans also think that China is not very good.
It's so cool. I think that a rising China will be a powerful challenge to the hegemony of the United States. Therefore, China has been suppressed overtly and covertly not once or twice.
Anyway, regarding such a problem, even if the American director decides on the Tata Group in India's Asan, he will not decide on China's Bididi. At least the American director will not do this.
. As for Ye Ming, as the leading actor and an investor, it would not be too easy to decide on a Chinese automobile brand or something.
Therefore, regarding the issue of self-installation, it is not surprising that Bididi Auto came to Hollywood at this time to bid for advertisements in the movie Fast and Furious. Ye Ming definitely has such a Han nationality.
thinking. Therefore, it was not surprising to Takanobu Ito that Bididi came to Hollywood.
But this time Bididi Auto never showed up for the bidding. In this case, the matter seems rather strange. Takanobu Ito not only knows Ye Ming, but also knows what kind of American director he is.
Arrogant, that's why I vowed to jump off the Empire State Building.
Ito Takanobu was talking about this, and at this moment Toyoda Akira said: "What does this issue have to do with our contract? Our lawyer can see it clearly, and there is no
Why did we sign it?
It’s completely based on the advertising contract for Hollywood movies.”
Ito Takanobu shook his head helplessly and said: "At this time, it was actually because we were too Hollywood and respected Hollywood's habits too much that we made mistakes. In fact, in Japan, in China, and even in the Asia-Pacific region, filming
For movies, there is generally no strict distinction when signing advertisements.
For example, for cars, I use whatever brand of car I use. But it is different in Hollywood. In Hollywood, movie props are divided into two types, one is the main prop and the other is the marginal prop. Generally, in this case,
As mentioned above, the main props in the movie have been signed, and some marginal props can also be signed.
I dare say that Bididi has no money and has not signed major props, so the only way is to sign marginal props. In such a situation, we did not sign an exclusive agreement. Ye Ming signed a car brand as a marginal prop.
There is no problem at all. This is not really good news for us at this time.
This is Ye Ming, this guy is plotting against us. He is cunning, absolutely very cunning. I thought I had looked down upon Ye Ming very highly, and brought three lawyers to look at the contract, but in the end, Ye Ming was still
Tricked.
Bididi Motors will definitely take advantage of it this time. If it hadn't come, I dare say Bididi Motors would definitely appear in the Fast and Furious movie."
