Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 920 Xiangyang is actually very partial

"Here, you will definitely be happy when you see it."

Xiang Yang, who had returned to Paris, was still busy processing the acquisition documents between his company and VisionChina Media. Little John, holding the pre-sale data of "Time Traveler", pushed the door open and walked in.

Without saying a word, he interrupted the conversation between Xiang Yang and his assistant.

He handed the data he had just confirmed with the three major distributors, Guangguang, Bona and China Film, to his friend's desk.

"5148.2."

As of today, the pre-sale results of "Time Traveler" have exceeded 5000 million yuan, successfully becoming the best-selling film in China in the history of Hermès Film Investment Company.

According to the prediction derived from this perfect pre-sale result, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the box office of "Time Traveler" will exceed 2 million.

For a movie that cost 7000 million yuan to make, it is certain that such box office results are profitable.

The question is how much to earn.

After all, including the cost of publicity and promotion, the total investment is more than 1 million yuan.

According to the box office revenue sharing ratio between theaters and producers of Chinese films, they still need to work harder.

But this is what is on the surface.

Don’t forget that the advertising placement in the film itself also spreads a large part of the production cost.

"Put it aside for now. I'll take a look at it later when I have time." Xiangyang, for whom time was precious, glanced at the report.

After the Vlog was broadcast, pre-sales increased by more than 2000 million in just a few days.

He had already learned the news from a phone call from Liu Xixi.

This was not a surprise to him.

"What did Mr. Ding and Mr. Wang say?" Xiang Yang asked as he continued to read VisionChina Media's report on DMG Media.

"I can't wait to start the roadshow, but as you know, the long vacation over there is about to begin."

Little John repeated in vivid detail what he had just heard on the phone.

Seeing his beaming with joy, Bi Shafer, whose conversation with Xiangyang was interrupted, sneered, "Why are you so happy? Don't forget "Warring States"."

Xiangyang, who was looking down at the report, raised his head and looked at Little John.

I almost couldn't help it.

Bea Shaffer actually used "Warring States" to slap Little John in the face?
The two of them went to London together, and I guess something embarrassing must have happened on the way, but no one mentioned it to him.

Forget it, it’s just kids quarreling.

Adults don't take sides.

Just watch the fun.

"I believe it can also achieve good results." Speaking of "Warring States", a movie that has not been released for a long time after filming, John Little has become numb.

He couldn't understand what Mr. Lu was doing, delaying the release of this movie for so long.

Nowadays, there is not even a ripple about this movie on the Chinese Internet.

But in front of Bi Shaffer.

He still holds his optimistic view.

"You." Xiangyang sighed helplessly, but he was really being stubborn.

In fact, you don’t even need to search in your mind what kind of achievements "Warring States" has achieved. Just look at the fact that even its release date has been set and changed, and then delayed, and you will know what the result will be.

There are many kinds of bad movies.

But frequent gear shifting operations are basically their distinctive feature.

"Instead of waiting for a miracle, you might as well talk to Mr. Lu and ask him to directly return the initial investment according to the minimum guarantee in the contract." Xiang Yang suddenly suggested, tapping on the documents in his hand with his fingertips.

"Ah, is this appropriate?" With a subconscious sentence, Little John exposed his true thoughts.

"There's nothing inappropriate about this."

Xiang Yang smiled slightly.

If it had been before, Lu might have wanted to drag Hermès Film Investment Company to the end on this film.

But now
Bi Shafu glanced at Xiangyang dimly.

Taking sides again.

"He's a smart man. Talk to him and he'll listen to you." Xiang Yang finished speaking, then turned his gaze back to the information in his hand and added, "But you have to hurry up on this matter. China is about to celebrate the New Year."

"." Little John nodded, agreeing with Xiangyang's opinion. Just as he was about to say something to save his face, his eyes suddenly lit up.

New Year?

Red envelope~
By the way, we can’t let little JoJo stay in Paris during the Chinese New Year!

"I'll contact them right away." He couldn't wait to leave Xiangyang's office, but before leaving, he turned back and smiled at Xiangyang, "Thank you for your reminder."

Xiangyang stared at him as he finished speaking and walked out of his office without reacting.

What is this guy thinking about?
Almost at the same time he was thinking, Bi Shafer said, "Boss, during the Spring Festival."

"Ok?"

Xiangyang, who was a little distracted, looked at his assistant in confusion.

She must follow me to the capital.

Judging from the negotiation process and the final agreement reached with Fitch Restaurants, Bea Schaffer did a good job.

He was also preparing to add more burden to her shoulders.

"Shafer, you have been involved in the acquisition of DMG Media from the beginning. We will start formal acquisition negotiations with VisionChina Media after the new year. You will be in charge."

“???” Bi Shafer was stunned.

"Your mother even called to inquire about the process. I'm very proud of you." Xiang Yang said calmly as he handed the documents to Bi Shaffer, saying like an elder: "Take some time to look over the documents carefully and try to sign the contract with VisionChina Media according to the above terms."

Bi Shafer looked down, then looked up at Xiangyang, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She had made an appointment with Jiang Mumu, whom she had just separated from a few days ago, and she would definitely go back to China for a few days while Xiangyang had a short holiday during the Spring Festival.

She, who was destined to go along with him, could also take some rare time out to have a good rest.

I never thought that with just a few words, the vacation I had prepared would be wasted.

Isn't this a bit too disappointing?

"Okay, you take a rest here first. I'll go to the design department. Also, ask Annabella to contact the leather factory and ask about the progress of the lipstick box and whether the samples with design changes can be delivered today." Xiangyang stood up and gave instructions while tidying up his clothes.

Hermès craftsmen are really
It’s not as efficient as the copycat workshops.

"I understand, Boss." Bi Shafer pouted.

"Work hard. After the fashion week, when the beauty department is officially established, we will probably be busy for a while." Xiang Yang saw her sad face and couldn't help but joked, "I think, just for you, I have to quickly decide on the makeup."

"for me?"

Bi Shaffer, who was in a bad mood, was shocked.

If someone else said this kind of ambiguous words to her face, she felt that even if she didn't like the other person, she would try to show the joy of being opened by happiness. But Xiangyang said this to her.

Haha, this guy definitely has no good intentions.

After receiving the call from Little John, Lu Zheng, who was in high spirits, did not hesitate too much and instructed the finance department to transfer the money.

As Xiangyang said, he is a smart man.

Besides having a head for business, he was also a wealthy man.

Therefore, according to the relevant agreement signed with Hermès Film Investment Company regarding "War Horse", it would not be difficult for him to return the 200 million euro investment if the expected profits are not achieved after the film is released.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for your understanding and cooperation."

Seeing that things turned out just as his friend had predicted, Little John got his investment back without any hesitation, and naturally had a smile on his face.

He just likes doing business with such generous people.

"You are so polite, sir. 'Warring States' has not been released as scheduled, and we at Starry Night also have an unshirkable responsibility." Lu Zheng, who spent 200 million euros, was not affected at all.

To be honest, secrets in the entertainment industry cannot be hidden.

What DMG Entertainment has done can only be described as "outrageous".

Ever since the two parties reached an agreement, they have been showing off the bet agreement they reached with Hermes Film Investment Company everywhere in the circle.

Although the exact amount was not disclosed, Lu Zheng smiled as he had a rough estimate in his mind.

Strictly speaking, the agreement signed by Starlight and Hermès Film Investment Company was also a bet agreement.

But if you look closely you will find it.

The two are completely different concepts.

Even if he had to pay compensation, the most he could do would be to return 200 million euros without any major changes, just like he is doing now.

As for DMG Entertainment’s share, it might even be worth a huge loss.

"Mr. Lu, we Hermès Film Investment Company also bear some responsibility." Hearing that not only would they arrange the remittance immediately, but they would also take all the responsibility on him, little John couldn't help but feel ashamed of his own little thoughts.

But this feeling of shame only lasted for a few seconds.

Soon, he put the blame on his good friend Xiang Yang, "If we had been able to provide the current publicity and promotion support when filming "Warring States", the result would not have been like this."

"Your company's publicity and promotion capabilities and innovative ideas are indeed eye-opening." Lu Zheng pursed his lips and nodded. Because Jing Tian also participated in "Time Traveler", he was also paying special attention to this upcoming movie.

When doing things as a person, the most feared thing is comparison.

When the situations of the two films are put together, the difference in publicity and promotion is obvious.

Especially this wave of Vlog promotion has generated huge participation and discussion on the Internet.

Although there was no mention of "Time Traveler" in the images and content played.

But how could he not see something that even netizens knew?

However, what made him curious was what would happen if Qin Hao replaced Xiang Yang to record such a Vlog and interact with Liu Qianqian.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

But this kind of thing is just thought after all.

But the heat, should be arrested, while little John owed him a few favors because he wanted to get back the investment funds, Lu Zheng took the opportunity to ask:
"Mr. Rang, I'd like to ask for your opinion. I'd like Jing Tian to follow the popularity of this Vlog and shoot a Vlog about "Time Traveler". Do you think it's appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about this?" Little John was stunned, then smiled and said, "If you need our help, Mr. Lu can just tell us."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Jean."

Lu Zheng felt secretly happy.

This move was indeed the right one.

Even though you are the one who has to pay the money, the question of whether to pay or not really needs to be looked at in the long term and comprehensively.

The movie lost money, that’s right.

But who told you that Xingguang Canlan did not earn the expected returns from this failed investment?

In Lu Zheng's opinion, compared with the investment of tens of millions, it is not a loss to be able to get the support of Hermès Film Investment Company.

If it weren't for the fact that this is the only number written in the contract.

He wanted to pay more.

"Then I will hurry up and make plans. When you arrive in the capital, I will ask you for advice in person."

"Ok, no problem."

After hearing this, little John was very happy and agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, John sat happily in his office for a few seconds. Then he picked up the phone on the table and started going through the necessary procedures with the finance and legal departments.

"So fast"

Xiangyang, who had just returned from a tour of the design department, met Little John and heard him say that as long as they quickly signed the contract, Xingguang Canlan would be ready to remit the money. He couldn't help but sigh at the efficiency of the Chinese people.

Damn, the Hermès workshop sent someone to deliver a sample, could it be that someone robbed it on the road?
"Boss, I didn't have the chance to report to you because Axel asked you to come over." Bi Shaffer explained what she wanted to say as soon as Xiangyang came back, but was beaten to it by a guy who was very proud of a 200 million euro contract.

"That's it."

When Xiang Yang heard that it had been delivered and was still with Axel, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​​​competing with little John.

After quickly signing the contract, he said, “Ask Mr. Lu to contact Mr. Ding from Anta and tell him that both FILA and Anta are very interested in the placement of Vlog.”

Endorsement may not necessarily be given.

However, implantation is possible.

Similarly, Hermès does not invite spokespeople.

However, for some products, celebrities can “actively” promote the brand through product placement.

What Xiangyang wants to do is to transfer the original implantation in the movie to Vlog.

The difference lies in the grasp of product selection.

"Shafer, help me arrange a special plane so they can get ready. If there is a result later, we will fly directly to New York."

Little John looked at his friend with bright eyes, "You're going to New York?"

"Let's talk about it when we come back." Xiang Yang didn't mean to refuse, but he was also considering whether to let his assistant be responsible for the product placement or let Little John be in charge.

Anyway, as long as I don’t have to worry about this kind of thing myself.

Given their status, either of them can do it.

Besides, Hermès’ brand influence is there.

If they were really allowed to talk to the celebrity team about product placement, they probably wouldn't even have to spend any money, as a bunch of people eager to do so would line up at their doorstep.

Unfortunately, these two don't go together.

"Forget it, you'd better not stay here. Come with me." Xiangyang, who had already walked out of the office, stopped. He was not sure whether Axel would accept this way of product placement.

Bring little John with you, he might be useful.
