Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Chapter 710 Negotiation 2

Did Yao Yuan buy the building and the DCP to increase the bargaining power?

The intention is to tell the other party that this is not a matter of money. We have money, and we are only looking for you to develop smoothly in the United States.

Roulov naturally knew that this was a normal business technique, there was nothing to say, let's talk slowly. But the content is different, and the content is the foundation of the video website.

"You mean, as the highlight of Hugelive's launch in the United States, it is used to attract the first round of audience?"

"good!"

"Yao, you made such a hasty decision, I can hardly believe the quality of this kind of work."

"..."

Yao Yuan didn't speak, but just patted the comic "The Boys" that Yu Jiajia just read on the table.

"This is not a hasty decision, but the result of careful research. Now that superhero movies are on the rise, the concept of the Marvel universe is gradually gaining popularity. Next year, "The Avengers" will be released, and I believe it will have a great effect.

Judging from the current market situation, the global market is very enthusiastic about superheroes, including the Chinese market.

Therefore, we believe that for a long time to come, superheroes will be the most popular genre. The best of our pioneering work is also a superhero theme.

However, the filming of Chaoying cannot bypass the two giants of Marvel and DC. Copyright issues, cost issues, and time issues will all become constraints.

We found another way and found this comic.

It is also a superhero, but it is an anti-superhero theme, and it can be made into a TV series. There are not many special effects scenes, and the cost is not too high. It can also use this wave of marketing. "

Yu Jiajia was in charge of explaining, and then said: "You may not have read this comic, it's really good-looking, it's anti-superhero, pornographic, dark, disgusting, anti-human... It's a collection of all the coolest elements. .

Like this paragraph, this is an Ant-Man-like superhero..."

Alas!

The three of Rulov looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this Nima Chinese? When did Chinese film and television aesthetics become so perverted? Especially Yu Jiajia had an excited and eager expression on her face.

In fact, this is also a stereotype.

There are not many popular Chinese films in the West, and the few popular ones, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", are all kung fu movies—at least Laomei thinks they are kung fu movies.

They are not interested in knowing what Chinese people like to watch, they just know kung fu.

But in fact, the domestic audience's pursuit of film and television diversification and the increasingly tight policy environment have long become a major contradiction. No way, download pirated resources to see.

Hong Kong and Taiwan Japanese and Korean films, American dramas, British dramas and Thai dramas, Madou, Jingdong, Jelly, Tianmei, Xingkong... have a huge audience.

And the play that Yao Yuan and Yu Jiajia talked about is the famous "Black Robe Picket Team" in later generations-many people wrote this copy at the beginning.

Yao Yuan chose it because of the popularity of Chaoying, because the cost is not too high, and because there are original comics, and the adaptation will be very fast.

Like "Game of Thrones", "Western World", "Breaking Bad" and so on, he also knows how awesome it is, but either it has already been produced, or the cost is too high.

The first season of "Western World", only 10 episodes, cost 100 million US dollars!

Hugelive is just getting started and can't afford to burn.

"So let me reiterate that this financing is only for landing and filming shows in the United States, and US$300 million is enough. If you want to increase investment, you might as well wait for the next stage."

Yao Yuan finally set the tone and said: "I also promise to several of you that when Hugelive's shareholding structure matures, we will not introduce new shareholders."

Hugelive needs a huge amount of funds, and one way to raise funds is to continuously introduce financing, but this will dilute the shares of the original shareholders and damage the interests.

Another option is to issue bonds.

Everyone buys bonds, such as five-year maturities, and they will get the principal and interest when they mature.

Yao Yuan promised not to introduce new financing, which means that he will use bonds to raise funds, which is considered to guarantee the interests of shareholders.

What is Hugelive for?

It is to earn the stock price!

There are currently five groups: China Fang, Milner, Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, and General Atlantic Investment Group. There may be a few more joining in the future, and finally go public, push up the stock price, and share the spoils.

"..."

The three of Rulov looked at each other, their thoughts clear.

This is only the second round, and it is impossible to give 40% of the shares at all.

And they were very interested in "The Boys". Rulov picked up the comic and said, "I really haven't read it. I need someone to evaluate it. Do you mind staying for a few more days?"

"sure."

"Well, I hope we have a happy ending."

…………

When Yao Yuan came to the United States, the listing of wheat grains was really a trivial matter, mainly for negotiation.

Hugelive enters the US market;

Buy a building for headquarters;

Buy DCP supplementary content;

Angry Birds movie collaboration...

Everything has to be talked about and talked about.

After waiting for a few days, the DCP's tone loosened, originally! You haven't even completed this virtue, you will have face if you are given face, and you will be an idiot if you are not given face.

Even if Yao Yuan lowered the price below 400 million, his asking price would still be the highest.

Roelof asked professionals in the film and television industry to evaluate the feasibility of "Black Robe Pickets", and the conclusions were surprisingly consistent: as long as it is pornographic, novel and exciting enough, everyone will love to watch it! If it is a super-English theme, everyone will love to watch it even more!

Yellow storm is the primary productive force, no matter the East or the West.

So Rulov visited again and said that he could accept Yao Yuan's conditions: 300 million US dollars, 20% of the shares.

When capital decides one thing, the efficiency is very fast. Hugelive immediately applied to enter the United States, and "Black Robe Picket" is already looking for a screenwriter.

On the contrary, the building is still talking, millions of millions of molars...

Yao Yuan stayed for almost a month, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he went back to the country directly.

When I return to China, I will find that brother Chang immediately.

"A small industrial park, a TV producer, the talks are inseparable."

He estimated it, and said towards the highest value: "If the whole purchase is made, it will cost about 700 million U.S. dollars!"

"700 million?"

"Television production? Golden Globes?"

"Ha ha!"

Brother Chang is happy. He is not afraid of a large amount of money. The bigger the amount, the more influential he will be. Once he passes it by himself, he will become one of the promoters and have a solid political achievement.

"Brother went out in person, my expectations were not in vain, good! Good!"

He kept applauding, and said sincerely: "Regardless of newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and TV stations, it is not difficult for us to enter the US market, the difficulty is that we cannot spread it.

There are few successes.

Propaganda is our housekeeping skill, and now we have lost it. If my brother's video can enter the US market, it will be a great event in the new era of media, and I am in your favor! "

He patted Yao Yuan, and suggested: "We might as well do more publicity in the country and establish a good corporate image. Alas, we have been inferior for too long, and something that is a little outstanding can be related to winning glory for the country."

"It's okay, everything will be fine in the future."

Yao Yuan also patted him and found that this person is really not bad.

(no more...

I still owe a chapter, my waist hurts from sitting for a long time, so I moved it to tomorrow, tomorrow is still the third watch...)
