In the office of the Disney distribution manager, two middle-aged men in their forties were sitting on the sofa chatting, namely Disney's film shopping manager Roy and distribution manager Aiger.

I think we should not rush back and buy films, because people are very cheap. Only when we keep hanging them there like this will they feel anxious, and this mood will be more beneficial to us. Of course, this time cannot be too long. I think it will be almost half an hour. Roy said to Eiger.

Roy, you are such a despicable bastard, but I like it very much. Egg laughed and scolded, and then asked, but then again, since they are here to give us money, what kind of price do you think we should offer is more appropriate or how high the price can not only allow them to accept but also allow us to enjoy it.

Roy thought about this and gave the answer: One or two million, I think they can all be within their acceptance range.

Iger was very surprised: Roy, are you sure you are not kidding me? You know that the price of one or two million is enough to set up a film company to expand its distribution channels. Why do they still choose us?

My friend, you seem to have forgotten what I said in the previous chapter. They belong to the Tang family, which is a big family that has a lot of wealth, so for them, one or two million is nothing, as long as they can do what they want to do.

Roy added: For these Chinese people, they are more willing to seek existing conditions than to work hard to create conditions themselves, especially rich second-generations like them who are playing the same nature. You ask them to set up a film company by themselves, but they may not have any plans for the movie after playing this movie. Why do they have to work hard to build a film company? It’s better to spend more money to ask others to do it.

Roy said at the end and suddenly felt a little worried: But the only thing I was worried about is whether our movie would have any impact on the Disney brand if we really released their movie. I don’t want to lose my job because of such a little money.

Don't worry, Egg told Roy that as long as this deal can be completed, we can hand over their movies to other film companies to complete. Isn't this completely unrelated to us?

This is a good idea, but they seem to ask for it to be released within this month, and some small companies may not be able to do it. Roy said.

Once the film is handed over to us, there are the rich second generation they are talking about, and we will tell them that it is an important process for the release of the movie. If they think it is slow, why don’t they set up a company to do it themselves? At that time, as long as we talk more about markets and other professional terms, we can fool them. Anyway, they are just playing around. Eiger said.

Roy smiled, and pointed at Eiger and said: I didn't expect that Manager Eiger in the distribution department turned out to be such a bad bastard.

Egg also smiled: It’s a pity that such a bastard was brought from the film buying department.

Roy spread his hands: It's not my fault, who made two fools come to him? But I think I must pray to the Father in heaven and ask him to forgive my sins.

Egg took Roy's words and said: So as a qualified gentleman, we are very obliged to teach them some necessary life philosophy. Of course, it is also possible to be forgiven by God if we charge appropriate fees.

At the end of the day, Roy and Egg looked at me and I looked at you, and they both showed sinister smiles.

After about half an hour of touching, Roy and Iger returned to the film purchasing office. He walked into the office and saw Zhou Ming and Tang Lin. He said enthusiastically: I'm sorry for letting you wait for a long time. It's really a bit special, so the time of discussion has been extended. I'm honored to introduce to you that the person next to me is the company's distribution department manager Eiger. We are here this time, and I'm afraid there's some bad news to you.

Before Roy could finish his words, Zhou Ming and Tang Lin stood up. Zhou Ming said to Roy: I'm very sorry, I don't want to talk to you about any cooperation in issuing.

Zhou Ming's words were like a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned by Roy and Egg.

I don't want to talk about cooperative releases anymore, I don't understand what you meant by saying that. Roy asked blankly.

Zhou Ming smiled: If you don’t want to cooperate in issuing, you don’t want to cooperate in issuing. What else can this mean? Is it because my English is not standard enough, or do you not understand human language?

Zhou Ming's ridicule made Roy feel a little embarrassed, but now he doesn't understand why this is

I mean, I don't understand why you said you didn't want to cooperate in the release? Did you change your mind and don't want to release your movie? But then your dream of making a movie will be shattered? Roy said excitedly, as if he won five million lottery but was told that he could not claim the prize. The huge contrast between ideals and reality made Roy unable to help himself, and Egg stood beside him, his head could not turn around.

Zhou Ming seemed to be disdainful of answering these questions. He turned to Tang Lin and Tang Lin told Roy: Actually, we still want to release this movie, but we have thought about it. After all, our movie has not been produced yet, and you are just Disney's film shopping and distribution managers. If you rashly release this movie, it will be very bad if it affects Disney's reputation.

So we decided to go directly to Disney's senior management to talk about this matter. Tang Lin just contacted your vice president. Zhou Ming took Tang Lin's words and said.

Almost as soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, Roy stopped them loudly: Don't go to the vice president

Then Roy seemed to have reacted to his behavior as if he was a bit too extreme, so he eased his emotions before saying: Mr. Zhou Ming, what I mean is that our Disney company has a system. As long as the movies are independently produced are required to be released by us, they must go through two departments: film purchase and distribution. Manager Eiger and I are completely able to make decisions for Disney.

After saying that, Roy turned around and winked at Egg. Although Egg was still a little confused at this time, he could understand what he had to do at this time.

So Eiger nodded without hesitation and said: Yes, the responsibility of our distribution department is to help all videos signed into the company seek channels for distribution. We have cooperated with major theater groups in California and even the United States, so we can fully represent the company.

But what if the videos that we have not completed now will affect Disney's brand reputation? Zhou Ming asked with great concern.

Mr. Zhou Ming, I don’t think you need to worry about this issue, because Disney is already a symbol, and such a symbol cannot be influenced by a film. He may disappoint fans with this film, but he will never take his anger on the entire Disneyland. With Disney’s ability, as long as the next step in the movie, all the problems can be made up for. Roy explained.

Facing Roy's confident explanation, Zhou Ming suddenly nodded: But I am still worried that your distribution channel will definitely be the best.

Regarding this question, Eiger replied: Of course, Disney's distribution channels are definitely the best, especially in the animation field, we have the richest distribution and promotion channels in the world.

Zhou Ming noticed another problem: publicity channels. So if I sign this cooperative issuance agreement, what kind of publicity services can I get?

Roy and Egg hesitated for a moment. They seemed to feel something was wrong, but at this time Zhou Ming said again: It seems that your decision-making ability is still too conservative. This is the case. I think it is better to go directly to your vice president, because the more you go, they can bear more responsibilities than you, and avoid you from being so worried.

Almost as soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, Roy immediately said: We are not worried, but there is indeed no promotional channel for general cooperative distribution, so it depends on independent filmmakers.

Roy stopped immediately after saying this, because he saw that Zhou Ming's face was very bad, so he immediately changed his words and said: But we can give you an additional publicity contract within the scope permitted by our responsibilities. We can provide you with a publicity budget of 200,000 US dollars. What do you think

Egg also agreed, saying: I can assure you that this contract is definitely the best condition. If you go to the vice president, he will never give you such generous conditions.

After hearing the conditions proposed by Roy and Eiger, Zhou Ming frowned deliberately in a tangled manner, and then took out the check book and sat down.

So what you mean is to ask me to sign the check immediately, right? Zhou Ming asked.

Seeing Zhou Ming take out the checkbook, Roy and Egg's eyes lit up all of a sudden. They seemed to see the colorful banknotes waving to them. So when facing Zhou Ming's problem, they nodded wildly and said yes.

However, it was like deliberately raising their appetite. Zhou Ming suddenly held down the check book and looked up and asked: If I signed the check now, would we be able to sign the contract now? Do you want to show me the contract for cooperation issuance? By the way, and the terms you promised me just now will be written into the contract.

Of course, all the terms will be written into it. We can already be regarded as Disney's decision-making level, so our credit is absolutely unquestionable. Roy firmly said.

That's really great. Zhou Ming happily applauded and said, "The last question is how much does it cost for our cooperative release? How much will we get after the movie is released?

When Roy and Egg heard this question, they were stunned at first. They subconsciously wanted to say two million, but they looked up and saw Zhou Ming. Their eyes seemed to be warning them not to make a random offer, otherwise he could give up the power to negotiate with him at any time and go directly to the vice president. He believed that with Tang Lin's connections, they would probably be able to sit in the vice president's office in less than a week. Of course, if that was the case, they would have nothing to do.

Under this idea, Roy carefully stretched out five fingers: $500,000. Disney agreed to help you find channels for distribution. If you are willing to pay another $500,000, Disney can even give up the share of the box office after the release. What do you think

Zhou Ming grinned and showed his big white teeth generously:

Zhou Ming's deal made Roy and Egg's hearts beat sharply. They looked at each other and felt a strange feeling in their hearts: it seemed that the script was a little deviated from the direction, and they were cheated.
