Chapter 295 Cao Zhenqun's wishful thinking
The normal investment share is naturally based on the final profit share, but in fact, this profit share is the essence of Hollywood's deception.

Because when the time comes, the production, publicity and distribution of the film will definitely be handed over to Damien Company.

It's too easy for them to manipulate profits. Learn about Hollywood Ledger.

They can make you a book loss for a big-selling movie, and if you lose money, then naturally there will be no profit, and naturally there is no need to share the profit with investors.

Maybe in North America, they dare not be so blatant, but it is unrealistic to expect Li Yi, a Chinese who has no roots in North America, to expect them to find out.

Therefore, although Damien Pictures may not necessarily cheat people, it is clear that they are more likely to cheat.

And once this happens, Li Yi and the others have nothing to do with each other.

For this reason, the negotiations between the two sides have naturally reached a deadlock.

The difference in asking price between the two parties is too great, and they will definitely not be able to reach a cooperation. Li Yi is actually not in a hurry.

As long as the popularity of "Forward with Weight" rises, then this is an IP.

Without Damien Films, other film companies would be interested. It's really not possible. When the conditions are right, Li Yi may not be able to go to Hollywood to shoot by himself.

But Davis Damien is obviously determined to win, but he is not willing to spend a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights of Li Yi's short film.

For Gaole Film and Television, Cao Zhenqun has been under a lot of pressure since the box office of the second part of "Youth" has been halved and halved since the "drinking" incident.

After all, although he is the major shareholder and the chairman, Gaole Film and Television also has other shareholders.

It's not that Cao Zhenqun hadn't considered finding someone to make peace with, but it was too difficult. That Li Yi was very narrow-minded, because of the "drinking" incident, Mu Qing obviously didn't suffer any big losses, but Li Yi actually took "Comedy" directly. "The King" came to press "Youth Age 2".

This also made many people unwilling to provoke Li Yi because of this kind of thing.

And this also made Cao Zhenqun feel pressured, but also extremely jealous of Li Yi.

At this moment, a piece of news came, which immediately made Cao Zhenqun think.

The short film "Forward with Weights" directed by Li Yi became popular on North American social networks, and even attracted the attention of North American Damien Company. The founder of Damien Company, Davis Damien, even went to China in person Ask Li Yi to discuss the copyright cooperation of "Forward with Weight".

At first this news made Cao Zhenqun extremely envious and jealous.

On the Internet, many netizens are cheering, because everyone knows that even if it is adapted, it is impossible for "Forward with Weights" to be released in China.

But this time "Forward with Weights" can be said to have truly gone abroad.

Even if it cannot be released in China, the fact that Hollywood film companies have gone to China to purchase copyrights still makes many netizens feel encouraged.

The heat is naturally rising.

However, soon there was news that the negotiations between the two parties seemed to have reached an impasse.

It seems that Li Yi's asking price was too high, but he refused to co-invest and cooperate with Damien's company to produce the feature film "Forward with Weight".

How this news spread, Cao Zhenqun didn't know, but he found out through his own channels that the news was actually true.

He didn't understand why Li Yi didn't agree to such a good opportunity?

However, it got him thinking.

He thinks this is an opportunity, as if he can win the copyright of "Forward with Weights" in Li Yi's hands, wouldn't it be possible to completely replace Li Yi and Damien Films to jointly develop the feature film "Forward with Weights"?

Once it succeeds, I believe that not only those shareholders will be satisfied, but the key point is that when the news spreads, Li Yi's expression will definitely look good, right?

The more Cao Zhenqun thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was highly feasible.

Of course, this must be a big deal, so he didn't act immediately, but asked someone to investigate the situation of "Forward with Weight" in North America in detail.

The feedback I got was that "Forward with Weights" has indeed exploded on North American social networks!
And the strength of Damien Films in North America is very good, so the final evaluation result is that the probability of success of this project is very high!
Cao Zhenqun quickly found someone to contact Davis Damien.

"Cao, nice to meet you!" Davis Damien greeted Cao Zhenqun with a smile.

"Mr. Damien, welcome to Huaguo!" Cao Zhenqun also greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Cao asked me to meet and said he wanted to discuss business. I wonder what kind of business it is?" Davis asked looking at Cao Zhenqun.

"I heard that Mr. Damien came to China this time for the right to adapt the short film "Forward with Weights". I don't know what the result will be?" Cao Zhenqun looked at Davis and asked.

Davis shook his head and said, "Sorry, this is a commercial secret!"

"Okay, Mr. Damien, if, I mean, if I can get the copyright of "Forward with Weight", I wonder if Mr. Damien has any idea of ​​co-developing this film?" Cao Zhenqun asked with a smile road.

Davis Damien looked at Cao Zhenqun in surprise and asked, "Of course, it's just that the other party's asking price is very high. Are you sure you can get it?"

"That's something I should consider, isn't it?" Cao Zhenqun said with a faint smile.

"Cao, the purpose of my visit this time is for the film "Forward with Weights". I don't mind who the partner is!" Davis Damien said, looking at Cao Zhenqun.

"What about the conditions of cooperation?" Cao Zhenqun asked with a smile.

"This needs to be done after you get the copyright, doesn't it?" Davis Damien didn't mean to talk about it.

"Mr. Damien, Damien Films is not the only one who is interested in this film!" Cao Zhenqun said threateningly.

"OK, you won, tell me your conditions!" Davis Damien said after looking at Cao Zhenqun for a long time.

"My conditions are very simple. Both parties contribute equally, and share the same proportion of profits! Copyrights are converted into investment shares according to their value." Cao Zhenqun said.

"Then what about the value of the copyright?" Davis Damien asked Cao Zhenqun after hesitating for a moment.

"Five million dollars!" Cao Zhenqun thought for a while and said.

"NO, that's impossible! Up to one million dollars!" Davis Damien immediately counter-offered.

"No, no, no, Mr. Damien, I think you should know that the most valuable part of the short film "Walking With Weight" is that this short film has become a popular short film on social networks in North America. Millions of dollars, hehe, Mr. Damien, do you think it is possible?"

"One and a half million! If the price is too high, why don't I cooperate directly with Li?"

"[-] million! I believe their price will only be higher!"

"."

In the end, the two fought with each other and reached a number that both sides agreed with.

Three million dollars!
This price is actually not astronomical, because with the passage of time, as the word-of-mouth of "Forward with a Load" fermented.

This short film has gained great popularity both at home and abroad.

And this is the real value of the copyright of this short film.

"OK, then wish us a happy cooperation?" Davis Damien and Cao Zhenqun both smiled.
