Let them remember again?

When he was at work the next day, Geng Zhi remembered what Li Qi said last night.

It’s just that the United States is away after all, and it’s easy to make people remember themselves again, but it’s difficult to remember them.

Facing difficulties is not just a slogan. Things that are not sure are stupid words, but they are stupid things to do. Geng Zhi is not unsure, but he is not very sure.

He felt that it would be better to find a way to make Americans remember his artists than to have that energy.

After being in charge of negotiations with Johnson, Huo Jun would report to Geng Zhi every day. Today is no exception.

But today, Johnson already knows the United States, so Huo Jun is also at the company during the morning working hours and comes to Geng Zhi in advance.

After listening to his report, Geng Zhi said, "So, they have no objection to the director's arrangement, but they will not let go of the conditions for editing rights before the release of the Americas?"

"That's it. Johnson insisted on releasing and demanding it was released in the Americas, which must be re-edited by them."

Geng Zhi frowned and said, "Are they worried that the videos we edited do not meet the appetite of American movie fans, or are they other reasons?"

Huo Jun shook his head and said, "He gave the reason, saying that according to the management of the United States, directors usually do not have the right to edit. So he does not understand the way we ask the director to edit."

Geng Zhi frowned even deeper: "That's just an excuse."

"They require all the shots to be shot, and they need to be done after the shot is completed. This is clearly intended to edit them at the same time, rather than modifying them after watching our films."

Huo Jun also frowned and said, "This condition sounds reasonable, but it is actually too much. So I didn't let it go."

Geng Zhi said firmly: "You must never let go."

He paused for a moment, his tone was relaxed and said: "We asked them to work together in order to promote our movies in the North American market, our company. If the version released in the Americas is edited by them, the good ones are theirs, and the bad ones are ours."

Huo Jun naturally thought of this and said, "Now he proposed that the United States has something to do and he has to go back to deal with it. But the time he came back was vague. I don't know whether he deliberately put pressure on us like this or whether there is really something urgent to deal with."

"He always said it was a business or a private matter."

Huo Jun smiled bitterly and said, "It's official business."

Geng Zhi threw the pen in his hand into the pen holder and said, "It seems that this cooperation will not be too smooth."

"The president means that we should wait a moment or find another partner."

Geng Zhi thought for a while and said, "Let's go two-pronged."

Since Fantasy is so powerful, it may not be the best partner.

Huo Jun seemed to be prepared for his choice: "Okay, I'm contacting the people over there. I will continue to contact Fantasy. If they are still so tough, please contact others."

"Well, they want to hang us, but we don't have that much time."

Huo Jun nodded: "I understand." In fact, he felt that if he couldn't cooperate with a Hollywood company, it wouldn't be a problem for Geng's own shooting.

After Huo Jun left, Geng Zhi's eyebrows were unable to let go.

His and Huo Jun’s ideas are not exactly the same.

Geng Zhi also knew that Geng had no pressure to film "Mulan" himself. But the most important purpose of his filming is not just to make money, or to say that he is not just to make money in China.

Working with Hollywood companies can maximize the benefits of the film—not just profits.

Fantasy can only be regarded as a second-tier company in Hollywood. Faced with a top Chinese peer like Geng, he is so optimistic about his idea of ​​cooperating with Hollywood.

At least, it may not be as smooth as he thought.

He couldn't help but remember what Li Qi said, "Let them remember it again."

It doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to let Americans remember him. But what if Americans remember his artist?

He thought for a while and went up to the top floor.

Li Qi's office is open to him all the time. At this time, Li Qi had no guests, so he went in and told him about the purpose of coming up this time.

When he heard him ask if he had a strong cooperation company in the United States, Li Qi did not answer immediately, but asked him: "The negotiations with Fantasy Movie are not going well?"

"The negotiations are not over, Johnson returned to the United States early and did not leave any time for negotiations. I think we, Geng, have been arguing with them."

"What's going on?"

"They asked for the release of the Americas to be edited by them."

“This is a bit too much.”

Doing that is equivalent to two versions. And Li Qi knows the purpose of Geng Zhi finding a company there to make a movie together. If it is edited by Fantasy, the movie will be produced by them. After all, although the director is very important in Hollywood, he is the director with the editing rights.

Hollywood movies are the producers responsible for the system. Generally speaking, the director only has one right to recommend editing. If you want to have complete editing rights, either you produce them independently or you are a very successful director.

Only when a movie is edited by a director can the words of a certain director's work be marked on the movie.

If Geng and the other party are co-produced, the other party will have another version of the editing rights. Then the edited movie will become the other party's production.

Geng Zhi gave up so many benefits, but he still couldn't achieve his goal.

Li Qi thought Geng Zhi wanted to change his partner: "Dingyun's cooperation in Hollywood is mainly for distribution. The main partners are also theaters. As for film production companies, most of them are small companies. We rarely contact large companies, have business relationships, and only go through distribution companies."

It means that you have contact with those companies, but the relationship is not very close.

Li Qi paused and said, "I can help you contact me, but I may not be able to contact me."

Geng Zhi shook his head and said, "I want to ask you if you have any acquaintances with the agency in the United States."

"Agent? What do you want to do?"

"I want to give part of Qiuziqin's agency rights to them in the United States," Geng Zhi said with a smile. "I think of some athletes, especially football players, who usually divide the global agency rights into several regions, specifically looking for people or companies to take charge of them. I think Qiuziqin's new album also has several English songs. She can act in the United States as a singer."

Li Qi didn't expect that he had such an idea. But she thought about it again. Geng Zhi's idea may not be feasible. Although Geng may not be able to handle artists' activities overseas, local brokerage companies are more aware of the local situation.

Distributing brokerage rights to local brokerage companies or brokers will have a considerable effect on enhancing the local commercial value of artists.

Of course, the premise is that the agent or brokerage company that Geng found is strong enough.

Li Qi didn't know much about this and said, "I'll ask the branch in the United States immediately and ask them to give some advice." After pausing, she said again. "Or why don't you talk to Yan Yi. Although he is not in this industry, he must have had contact with Lu Daoming for a long time. Lu Daoming has been in Hollywood for many years and must have known many people."

Geng Zhi nodded and said, "Then I'll ask him."

"I'm sending you the right candidates when the US branch collects."

"Okay. Then I'll leave first. I'll see if Yan Yi is free. If he has time, go find him directly." If he has time, call him.

After calling, Yan Yi said he had time, so Geng Zhi went to Yan directly.

After seeing Yan Yi, Geng Zhi said, "I came to you this time to ask. I want to share the economic rights of Zixin and others in the United States to them. Do you have any good candidates to introduce?"

When Yan Yi heard that it was about Ning Zixin, he was so serious that he could not be more serious: "Are you planning to give up Zixin's agency rights in the United States?"

"Well. Geng's whip is beyond the reach, and he has no resources in the United States."

Yan Yi thought for a while and said, "Leave this to me."

Geng Zhi smiled and said, "I have Zixin out, Qiu Ziqin, Feng Yunyun, Lou Xiaoyun, Zhou Chuan and Ma Cheng and others."

Yan Yi looked up at him and said, "I'm leaving this to me."

Within a few words, the two made a tacit deal.

Geng Zhi was sure that Yan Yi would be very concerned about Ning Zixin's affairs. He had already wanted to get Ning Zixin's agency contract. However, Ning Zixin was unwilling to change jobs, so she failed.

Now that Geng Zhi is willing to transfer the brokerage rights of the United States, Yan Yi will definitely not miss the opportunity - even if it is only part of the brokerage rights, he will not give up.

Because he would not be relieved to hand Ning Zixin over to others.

Geng Zhi was right. After he left, Yan Yi called Lu Daoming.

After hearing him say it, Lu Daoming smiled and said, "I said you didn't catch anyone even if you work so hard. I didn't reflect on it."

Yan Yi said coldly: "Don't say this nonsense!"

"Why is it just nonsense? You are thirty-three years old. How long will it take to make a fuss before you can catch someone in your hands?"

Can Yan Yi say that he was the one who committed suicide by himself?

"You recommend a few reliable people."

Lu Daoming no longer stimulated him: "What does reliability mean? Do you think agents are charitable. They all make a living by exploiting artists. Do you have to worry about handing over your little girl to them?"

Yan Yi made this call just because he was worried: "No one is kind?" Are Americans so bad?

"I'll contact you."

Yan Yi said "Hmm": "Ability is not the most important thing, as long as you can get by. The most important thing is that people are reliable. I will set up an agency in the United States. I will dig up people at that time."

As the boss, he doesn't have to worry about his agent bullying Ning Zixin.

"Okay, I know a few of your requests. I can get by the way, but because of my strong principle, I can't get a high-end one in Hollywood. I'll let me contact you first."

"Thank you!"

"No thanks. Just think it's my concern for my second aunt."

When Lu Daoming mentioned his mother, Yan Yi's eyes sank and said, "This matter is very important to me. Thank you."

"Okay, okay. I know it's very important. I'll reply you tomorrow at the latest."

After Yan Yi hung up the phone, he sat blankly for a while, then called his assistant in and told him to register an artist agency in the United States.

Being rich means being willful!
