Chapter 403: Reversing the situation

Ye Ming said these are definitely not alarmist. In fact, when we are in a position like Wang Zhongjun's, we can see the problem relatively clearly, but finding it is one thing, and being able to calm down and think about solving the problem is another. It's the same thing.

Wang Zhongjun said helplessly: "Ye Ming, actually, you are not the only one who can see this clearly. We also know it, but what can we change? The four of us can be regarded as standing in the entertainment industry. The group of people at the top, even if you are new and have a shaky foundation, as long as you are given two years to develop, you must be another big shot in the entertainment industry. But it is of no use to us. I still mean what I said above. Just like the current theater chains, there is no fixed model for dividing the revenue. Although the state allows private film production, the theater chains are all in the hands of the state, so it all depends on how the box office is divided. That’s what I mean above. Even if it’s your theater chain, isn’t it still under the name of the New Film Alliance? Therefore, when one distribution is king, this is especially important.

There are no rules these days. In Hollywood, there are clear regulations on how to divide the accounts for the first week of the movie and how to divide the accounts for the second week. Look at what we are doing here. So it's normal for us to have infighting now. "

Ye Ming also understands this very well, because the real sharing agreement for domestic movies will not appear until next year, usually 35% of the box office of the film company. This is still a model formed in the mid-to-late 1990s. It is said that the producers are at a disadvantage, but the theaters are all state-owned. No one can easily change this. Wang Zhongjun actually lamented this point. Chinese filmmakers have done quite well in terms of their right to speak. The bad kind.

Therefore, Ye Ming said helplessly: "Then you just think I'm easy to bully, don't you? In fact, I also had plans for this matter. It would be great to gather a group of people to form my own theater chain, but then I Think about it, if people in our circle cooperate to form a theater chain, it will be a problem who will be the boss, so I cooperated with Warner Bros. to set up a theater chain myself. Even though I suffered a loss, I still decided to build a theater chain. , I will not put my destiny in the hands of others.

You all know that it is impossible for my company's funds to last for two weeks, right? However, I can tell you that I am afraid that the company's funds will not last for ten days. If we continue to consume at this rate, there will be no new funds. If I get a large amount of money, my company will go bankrupt in less than ten days. But this is impossible. "

Dong Ping was very curious. He couldn't understand Ye Ming at this moment. Why does this guy still have so much confidence? "I have calculated all your methods. As long as [Bright Sword] does not lift the ban, then your There is no possibility for the company to survive, but I am curious as to why you are so calm or bluffing.

Hollywood giants will bring you funds, but it depends on whether the people above are willing to let them intervene. Once there is an indication from above, then the existence of the eight giants and the nine giants will be paper tigers. Therefore, I think someone from within China is more suitable. Of course, we can also say that there is no problem in cooperation without acquisition. Taking shares or even exchanging shares are acceptable ways of cooperation. "

Because the relationship between Dong Ping and Ye Ming is not good, but they are not enemies either. Therefore, in such a situation, what he said is somewhat feasible. At least Wang Zhongjun thinks this method is feasible. It is a feasible method. If Ye Ming can accept it, Huayi Brothers does not mean that they cannot cooperate with Ye Ming.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ming smiled and took out a newspaper. It was a faxed newspaper, a copy of Baodao's [United Daily News]. After seeing the date, it was today's newspaper.

The appearance of this newspaper is a bit surprising. Wang Zhongjun and the three of them didn't understand it very well. What does this mean? It's just a newspaper.

Wang Zhongjun held the newspaper and said strangely: "Ye Ming, what does this mean? I don't understand." Ye Ming smiled, looked at the three bosses with his fingers crossed, and said: "This is today's newspaper, what I want you to read is What’s the headline in today’s newspaper? I wonder if you can tell.”

At this time, Wang Zhongjun looked at the headline of the newspaper with some confusion: "A-Bian from Baodao came to power, and Brother Song and his gang actually failed. This is simply unbelievable. Why did Brother Song fail?" A-Bian Coming to power will have a considerable impact on cross-strait policies."

Although Wang Zhongjun is a filmmaker, he still pays close attention to political news, especially those who make movies. Perhaps the above policy changes will bring huge profits or losses to the movie companies.

Of course, at this time, Wang Zhongjun still couldn't figure out what the relationship between A Bian's coming to power and Ye Ming was. Ye Ming said with a smile: "There must be an impact. In fact, it also has an impact on my company. The TV series "Bright Sword" will be lifted within three days, and I can guarantee that Tianchao TV will continue to Offer me a good price. Therefore, your hopes are in vain."

Dong Ping was silent. He came here with full confidence, but he didn't expect that Ye Mingqi was the superior one, and as a result, he failed. What was even more disappointing was Luo Sihai, who wanted to deal with Ye Ming suspiciously. But in such a situation, he wanted to deal with Ye Ming, but Ye Ming easily defeated him.

After receiving the fax from the newspaper, Luo Sihai said with some reluctance: "Did you already calculate that A-Bian would come to power and that there would be certain changes in cross-strait relations?"

What a huge defeat. The three big guys came to Brilliant Film and Television together for what you can imagine, but they all came back defeated. Such a result was something that the three of them did not expect. Luo Sihai and Dong Ping knew that there was no need to stay, so they left dejectedly. After entering the elevator, Luo Sihai still said angrily: "Why is Ye Ming so lucky to be able to make a comeback at this time? Brother Song and his gang are idiots. They were usurped by this guy A Bian." , they are simply a bunch of losers.”

Dong Ping was older and looked at things very steadily. He said without surprise or joy: "This is fate, this is luck. If Ye Ming can achieve such a result, it is definitely not an accident." .

[Bright Sword] was banned from being screened because someone above said the TV series was wrong, but now A-Bian is on stage. The people above will definitely change the strategy of cross-strait relations, so this TV series is just right. Ye Ming said that it is definitely possible to lift the ban in three days, and I dare say that it is even possible for people from Tianchao TV Directly offer a sky-high price. "

It was Tianchaotai who wanted to tear up the contract. At this time, once the above policy was changed, it would be impossible for Ye Ming to re-sign the contract without paying a certain price on such an issue. Ye Ming is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't fight back even if he suffers a loss. Dong Ping is very sure of this. Ye Ming is the kind of businessman who is like a little fox and will not let go of any opportunity to pursue profits.

Yang Fan, the director of Tianchao TV Drama Channel, stood in front of Chen Hanyuan, looking a little nervous. Although the indoor air conditioner was as warm as spring, in such a situation, in fact, more importantly, Yang Fan felt cold in his heart. He didn't know what it meant.

The plan for this matter cannot keep up with the changes. Chen Hanyuan said angrily: "Xiao Yang, you are also an old man in the TV station. What you did was a bit unkind. Ye Ming's TV series was banned from being screened, but his movie "People on the Road" was banned. But what do you mean when you say you are not banned from screening and you let people leave? Also, why didn’t you ask your superiors for instructions when you tore up the contract with Huihuang Film and Television? "

Yang Fan was also very helpless and said: "Director, you also know that as a director, how can I have such courage? The leaders above banned the screening of "Bright Sword". The TV series channel people discussed it and decided to do it quickly. It's better to keep this matter clear.

But who would have thought that A-Bian from Baodao would actually take the stage. At this time, some of the opinions in [Bright Sword] are hard to say. "

Chen Hanyuan frowned and said: "Actually, it's not an accident. There are no opinions or opinions. It's just the people below who are talking nonsense. The stand of this TV series "Bright Sword" is still very top-notch and firm. Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is also in line with The historical facts are not exaggerated. It is a good interpretation of history. This is a good TV series. Therefore, we need key support. On such an issue, you tore up the contract and made it very difficult for the leaders. Come from above. I have received an order to re-sign a contract with Huihuang Film and Television. It is up to you. Moreover, I heard that the above means that this "Bright Sword" will be screened as a prime-time TV series in one set, and it may not be in eight sets. It's aired, so you have to be mentally prepared. If you can't properly resolve this matter, I can't protect you."

Yang Fan was a little surprised now. This matter was decided by the leaders above, but in the end it was his little director who took the blame. How can you reason with this?

However, at this time Yang Fan also gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Director, I will definitely solve this matter. However, I think it would be better if there is someone who can guide the thread. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be good by then." end."

As the deputy director in charge, Chen Hanyuan naturally knew that he should try his best to solve the problem. After thinking about it, he said: "Go to Director Han. Han Shanping has a very good relationship with Director Han and Ye Ming. I think, as long as it is If Director Han comes forward, Ye Ming will definitely give face to such an issue."

Now Yang Fan finally had a head start and contacted Han Shanping directly. And the impact of such an incident is not as simple as that of Tianchao Taiwan.

Regarding such a matter, Paramount and Warner Bros. actually got their news as soon as possible.

Mr. Wood and Ai Qiuhua waited in the hotel for two days, but a piece of news at noon made them unable to sit still. This news is very simple. It is news about Baodao. It means that a man named A Bian came to power in Baodao. Brother Lao Song actually said that he had retreated. This is a very rare thing. This means that cross-strait relations will undergo a series of changes.

This change made Mr. Wood a little silent, because he could see something in the middle. At this time, he said reluctantly: "It's not simple, it's not simple. This child of ours is really not simple. Although it is I am a businessman, but I didn’t expect to have such a thorough understanding of the changes in the current situation. As soon as A-Bian comes to power, there will definitely be some changes in cross-strait relations, which is a good opportunity for Brilliant Film and Television."

Ai Qiuhua was also a little reluctant, but even if she said she was unwilling, what could she do about such a problem? She also said helplessly, "You cunning person, he is the most cunning person I have ever seen." He is a cunning person. Paramount didn't think of this." Mr. Wood was a little reluctant, but still very disappointed and said: "I really didn't expect that, who would have thought that such a change would happen on the treasure island? Isn't this bringing Brilliant Film and Television back to life? Isn't it true for you Warner Brothers? Now you have also offended Ye Ming, but I think if you calculate the next step, will you be able to win the third installment of [Harry Potter]? As for the second part, if you don’t have it, then it’s just a wedding dress for someone else.”

At this time, Mr. Wood's mind started to get active. If he could win the second part of [Harry Potter], then maybe this would be an opportunity.

Ai Qiuhua didn't mean to be disappointed. She said confidently: "We have priority. Although we haven't signed a contract for the second part, we still have priority. You can't compare to this. Moreover, we have a plan for the next step. If the acquisition can be successful this time, that would be the best. But if the acquisition is not successful, in such a case, the headquarters will invite Ye Ming to the UK to participate in [ Harry Potter] casting activities, you have to know that there are only five or six people in the whole world who have such rights, and if Ye Ming can get such a right, it will be somewhat relieved."

This is Warner Brothers' second plan. It will not offend Ye Ming, and there is no need to offend Ye Ming.

When Mr. Wood heard this, he knew that the matter was irreversible. After all, Warner Brothers had made two preparations. Paramount had no chance of success, and the remaining Hollywood giants also had no chance of such a possibility. Therefore, Mr. Wood reluctantly reported the situation to the board of directors and left early.

Ms. Ai Qiuhua immediately picked up the phone and contacted Ye Ming. At this time, Ye Ming was invited to a teahouse by Han Shanpinghei. The autumn wind blew away the fallen leaves everywhere, and there was a bleak atmosphere hidden in the harvest season.

At this time, Yang Fan was not in a good mood. He was from Tianchaotai. Wherever he went, it didn't mean that he would be well-fed, drunk and entertained. At this time, I went to meet the boss of a private film and television company. In the past, it was him, the director of the TV drama channel, who looked up to Ye Ming. But things are different now. Chen Hanyuan, the deputy director in charge of the TV drama channel, has given an order to him to sign the contract for [Bright Sword] again. This is not easy to handle.

Even if Han Shan Pingla came to make peace, he felt that the matter could not be solved so easily. He doesn't have much contact with Ye Ming, but he also knows that he is a very difficult opponent.

At this time, the atmosphere between the three of them was a bit awkward, so Han Shanping said with a smile: "We are all not so reserved, we are all old friends. If you have anything to say, don't hide it, we will still have it in the future." Are there many opportunities for cooperation? Ye Ming, you know what Lao Yang means very well. Lao Yang terminates your [Bright Sword] contract. He is not that capable. It is not his own intention, but the General Administration did not approve it. , you can’t blame Lao Yang for this. Today, Lao Yang comes to you very sincerely, and you have to give me face. "

Han Shanping knows that Ye Ming is not the kind of person who hides and tucks in. If something happens, he just says it directly. Hiding and tuck-in is not Ye Ming's style, nor is it his Han Shanping's style. Therefore, Yang Fan's purpose of coming was directly stated. And Yang Fan also said with some embarrassment: "Manager Ye, in fact, what Director Han said is correct. I am an errand boy. It's not me who decides what happens. Now your TV series has decided to lift the ban. , I hope you can re-sign to our Tianchao TV station. If you agree, we will be good friends from now on. If you find anything useful in the future, just say it. I will let people join the crew tomorrow, and this time I won’t pay a penny. ,what do you think?"

Ye Ming naturally loses and won't be so sure. He knows how influential the TV series will be if it is broadcast on China Channel. China Channel tears up the contract, and it is his TV series. Being banned from screening is not actually a breach of contract. However, some of the staff members of "Journey on the Road" were from the TV drama production center and were evacuated by Yang Fan. This is where Yang Fan expressed his apology.

Ye Ming didn't mean to embarrass Yang Fan at all. He picked up the tea with a smile and said, "Director Yang, you're welcome. I contacted a group of people from the film school through friends about the movie and have started to re-invest in the production. I won't rush to solve this problem." , as for [Bright Sword], it was originally a joint production between the two of us, so of course I am happy to continue to cooperate with you. The price does not need to change, it will be as we agreed. I believe that we have a good start for our cooperation. ." (To be continued)
