Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 226 To harm the opponent is to benefit oneself.

After seeing off Chen Wu, Han Fei was not at peace sitting in the office. After all, as an outsider, he didn't know whether there was a joint effect between Penguin Video and Penguin Pictures. With the exit of the film industry, Han Fei was sanctioned.

If this is the case, Han Fei will only be able to follow the Kiwi video in the future, which is not a good thing for the development of the studio.

Of course, it’s not like Han Fei has no backers. The studio is still in its infancy, so it produces these "small and beautiful" web dramas. When the team really develops in the future, he can definitely cooperate with some satellite TV, so that It can be exempted from the influence of penguin video.

"It depends on how Penguin Video chooses."

A few days later, Han Fei received a call from a stranger early in the morning. After hanging up, he couldn't help shaking his fist fiercely.

That's right, the call was made by Penguin Video CEO Liu Bin, and the purpose was naturally to prevent Han Fei from meeting with Kiwi Fruit CEO Zhang Liang.

The coffee shop downstairs is run by a young couple who are also fans of Han Fei. Although the size of the shop is small, the decoration is quite stylish.

Liu Bin has long hair, giving people the feeling that there are more literary youths than professional managers, but Han Fei dare not despise him in the slightest. Penguin Video has had this shadow from its birth to development, Penguin Movie At the beginning of the establishment of the industry, he was also in charge of overall planning. Later, because there were too many positions to manage, he gave up the position of CEO of Penguin Pictures.

Liu Bin was also looking at Han Fei with great interest. The first impression this young man gave him was that he was calm. He received a call from Chen Wu yesterday, and he specially read Han Fei's information, and found that every step he took It looks like taking risks, but in fact they leave a way out for themselves. Such a person is very difficult to deal with.

"I didn't expect that this small coffee shop was able to welcome Mr. Liu. It's really brilliant. Would Mr. Liu have a cup of American style? The craftsmanship of this store manager is not bad." Han Fei smiled.

"Really? Then have a cup and try it. I hope Mr. Han's recommendation is worth it." Liu Bin also smiled.

Soon the coffee was served. Liu Bin took a sip and nodded: "Well, the bitterness, astringency, and sourness are enough, but it's a pity that there is still a little bit of sweetness."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "I hope to get good news from Mr. Han, so as to make up for this deficiency."

Han Fei shrugged: "It depends on whether Mr. Liu has such a mind."

"Bosom." Liu Bin tasted it: "This word is used well. It is worthy of being engaged in literature and art. If this is the case, then I will not play around with you. In fact, there are so many popular online dramas every year. For Penguin In terms of the size of the video, don't you think it's too light for you to use this as a bargaining chip with me?"

Han Fei nodded: "You're right, but I want to remind you that there are eight volumes of Tomb Raiders' Notes, and there are also derivative plots such as the prequel [Old Nine Gates] and the sequel [Shahai]. Ministry, I can even do it 20 years later, do you think such a super IP is qualified enough to be a bargaining chip?"

Liu Bin was taken aback when he heard the words. If what Han Fei said was true, [Tomb Raider Notes] could indeed be called a super IP. Such a super IP is enough for a company to keep in stock for more than ten years.

It's like Marvel's superhero series, one release a year is enough to create a whirlwind in the world and harvest the global box office. Joining Han Fei really chooses to fight with Penguin Video, and it is completely possible to produce two a year, specifically to stop Penguin Video's A-level Making, for a long time, the loss is immeasurable.

Liu Bin has no doubt that [Tomb Notes] has such potential. As long as the production is well-crafted, the power of this IP will become stronger and stronger. Just like the mummy series back then, exploring death and finding treasure are the two most real desires in the human heart.

"Well, I believe that you can do it, but why can't we cooperate to develop this super IP together? You should know that with the power of the Penguin Group, maybe this cycle can be shortened in half?"

Han Fei's heart moved, Liu Bin admitted his equal negotiating qualifications by saying this.

"That's right, but I don't intend to give away the money I get to others for nothing, you should understand what I mean?"

Liu Bin nodded and smiled: "Yes, you are right, if it were me, I wouldn't either, so think about it differently, you should understand why we should throw resources to someone who has no additional benefits and cannot project under control?"

I have to admit that Liu Bin was really insightful, and immediately put the conflict between the two sides on the table.

But from here, Han Fei also discovered Liu Bin's real worry. The so-called extra income, after all, is only from Penguin Pictures, and has nothing to do with him. The crux of the problem is actually that Liu Bin is worried. The value of IP in the later stage is getting higher and higher, and the platform will be more dependent on [Tomb Raider Notes]. If Han Fei wants to leave again one day, the blow to the platform will be huge.

There is an irreconcilable conflict here. Han Fei wants absolute autonomy, and Liu Bin will never allow an uncontrollable IP to continue to expand for the benefit of Penguin Video, even if this IP will bring him huge benefits. Interests.

Han Fei was silent for a while, and then said: "Maybe we can sign a pre-emptive purchase agreement?"

Liu Bin shook his head, put down the coffee in his hand, and said slowly: "Actually, there is another way, such as Penguin Video becoming a shareholder of your studio? Of course, we only need 10% of the shares, and we promise not to affect any of your Decision-making, what does Mr. Han think of this proposal?"

Seeing this, Han Fei sneered in his heart. In fact, this is Liu Bin's real purpose. Otherwise, he would just send a manager-level executive to take care of such a trivial matter. He must come in person at all. I don't care about the wine, it is said that it only needs 10% of the shares, but in fact, if the development studio needs to raise funds later, Penguin Video has a lot of money, who can do it?

"Oh? Since financing is needed, how about we also think about it?"

Just when the coffee shop fell into silence again, a voice suddenly sounded. When Liu Bin saw someone, he almost cursed his mother.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, Mr. Liu came to visit suddenly, so I will entertain you first." Han Fei hurriedly greeted.

Zhang Liang waved his hand and didn't care at all: "It's okay, Mr. Liu and I are old friends, right?"

Liu Bin sneered and said, "That's right, we've been dealing with each other since the day Mr. Zhang joined the job."

"Hey, did I just hear someone say that Mr. Han needs financing?" Zhang Liang seemed to be particularly interested in this question.

Han Fei shook his head and said, "The studio's funds are still sufficient for the time being, so I won't bother you two."

Seeing that his plan had failed, Liu Bin gave Zhang Liang a hard look: "Mr. Zhang, you still have experience in doing such things that harm others and benefit yourself."

"You're joking, if it's the opponent who hurts, isn't it selfish for us?"
