Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 161 A-level assessment.

After knowing the reason for Han Fei's visit, Director Wei said that he can't make decisions about this kind of thing, and can only help him introduce the management of Penguin Film and Television.

Of course, this was enough for Han Fei, but what Han Fei never expected was that the person Director Wei introduced to him was actually Chen Wu, the current CEO of Penguin Pictures.

In fact, Director Wei was also very surprised, because his level was not enough to reach the Buddha like Chen Wu.

"Then Mr. Chen, you guys are chatting, I still have something to deal with first." Director Wei's eyes on Han Fei changed a little before he left.

Chen Wu looked polite, but Han Fei found out through talking to him that he was a top student of Tsinghua University.

Han Fei sighed for a while: "Sure enough, there is a golden house in the book. If I worked harder at that time, I might have become Mr. Chen's junior."

"Hey, Jingying is a five-star art school. Don't underestimate Mr. Han, and the art is pretty good. To tell you the truth, I was the business leader of the drama club of Tsinghua University. My remaining classmates even invited me Tsinghua University has seen your play [Donkey Gets Water]!" In fact, when he saw this play, Chen Wu said that if he had the opportunity, he must have a chat with the author of this play, so today He was still very happy to see Han Fei.

Well, Han Fei really didn't see that the CEO of Penguin Pictures was actually a literary youth. Of course, judging from the development of Penguin Pictures in the past few years, Chen Wu was definitely not a simple literary youth. Penguin Films, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penguin Group, has produced several major IP productions, and these major productions are actually co-broadcasted on direct competitor platforms such as Kiwi Video.

This courage alone has to be admirable.

"Thank you Mr. Han for solving the doubts in my heart for many years. Then, let's get back to business?" Chen Wu chatted with Han Fei for a while, most of which were about some metaphors about "the donkey gets water". Let Chen Wu's eyes light up.

Han Fei nodded: "Alright, this is the script of [Tomb Raiders Notes], as well as the budget and plan."

Chen Wu was not too polite, picked up the script and looked through it, at first he didn't pay much attention to it, but soon there were various surprised expressions on his face, and it took him a while to close the script.

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of Boss Han's jokes. I'm not an artist. I don't really understand the scripts that many people read, but your script is very graphic and eye-catching. It's a good script, but according to As far as I know, Penguin Films actually mentioned this project before, but it was shelved because of copyright issues."

Han Fei's heart skipped a beat. Chen Wu's trick was indeed very clever. Most people might think of him as an outsider. However, for Han Fei who often uses this trick, it has no effect at all.

"Mr. Chen is right. Penguin Pictures did talk to me about buying the copyright, but I refused."

Chen Wu took a sip from the teacup, but did not put it back on the table, but held it in his hand, smiling without saying a word. Obviously, this was waiting for Han Fei's next message. If the answer did not satisfy him, it would mean sending him off after serving the tea. guest.

"Because I wasn't sure at the time whether your company wanted to adapt it or just use it as an IP inventory." Han Fei's answer was watertight.

Chen Wu nodded and put down his tea cup at the same time, obviously accepted Han Fei's words: "Well, I understand a creator's obsession with his own work, but business cooperation must always be attributed to business. Your budget plan and I also took a rough look at the planning plan, and it is very standardized and the conditions are very suitable, I only have one question."

"How does the copyright belong?" Chen Wu paused.

Han Fei finally came, pondering for a while: "The proceeds can be divided according to the investment ratio, and Penguin Pictures will have the right of first refusal for the sequel."

Chen Wu chuckled for a while: "Mr. Han, don't you think we are too disadvantaged by this plan?"

"Mr. Chen, since we're all talking about this, I'll let you know. I can handle the investment for the first season by myself. As for the shooting equipment and crew, it's not difficult for me. [Together in the same window] I think you should have heard about it. It is the project I led. To be honest, I prefer the platform of Penguin Video. Of course, if the road is really difficult, I can also try other platforms. "Han Fei simply opened up the words.

Chen Wu's complexion was a little ugly. Before meeting Han Fei, he knew about him, and he also knew this person's behavior style. Sure enough, he was still as strong as ever, even though he didn't have much advantage on the surface.

However, as Han Fei said, he already has the ability to invest, film and even publicize. All he lacks is a platform. If he is really forced to his opponent, it will not benefit Chen Wu at all.

"Well, investing in Penguin Films will account for half of it, but the title must use Penguin Films' LOGO."

Regarding Chen Wu's conditions, Han Fei readily agreed, and he also knew that Chen Wu's concession was not because of his superb negotiation skills, but because the other party didn't know the value of the IP of [Tomb Raider Notes].

From Chen Wu's point of view, this is just a relatively interesting project. It's not too unusual for him to come into contact with similar projects almost every day. He pays more attention to those A-level productions. He doesn't care much about such small projects. Interest, maybe as he said, the reason why I came to see Han Fei today was just to chat with him about drama.

Of course, this is only a verbal cooperation intention. The actual signing will definitely involve many legal terms, and it will also need to negotiate with the actual implementation personnel of Penguin Pictures.

For this reason, Han Fei even invited relevant legal counsel to clear up the contract word by word. The more you deal with these giant companies, the more cautious you must be, because if there are loopholes in the contract, you will not even have the idea of ​​suing them. For example, what about the strongest legal department in Disney Earth?
In the end, Han Fei and Penguin Films finally reached an agreement, and because of Penguin Films' relationship, Penguin Video rated this web drama with an investment of less than 1000 million as A-level.

However, this rating is not entirely a benefit. Although you can get a high share of 70% of [Membership Payment + Advertising], you have lost the guarantee qualification. This is not a good thing for small-cost dramas, because once there are not enough episodes Wonderful, very likely to lose everything.

Han Fei has reason to believe that this is Chen Wu's greeting behind his back. Obviously, he is not optimistic about the benefits of [Tomb Raider Notes] and wants to use this to dampen Han Fei's spirit.

"It seems that what you have done is not enough, and you are still looked down upon?" Han Fei sneered at the corner of his mouth when he walked out of the Penguin Building.
