fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 180: Acting Hard and Soft (6.3K)

There are constant thoughts in my head, but nothing appears on my face.

Zhang Yang greeted the two with a smile, drank tea, and chatted about "Fist Fights Mountains and Rivers".

""Fist of Mountains and Rivers" was launched yesterday. I watched it, and the evaluation is very good. Netizens like to watch it very much."

"kindness."

Guan Mingyuan put down his teacup, and said with a smile, "It's thanks to your help. This year, thanks to this drama, Watermelon Video can gain a lot of users."

"Your level of filming is really good, except for one thing, the price is too expensive."

Guan Mingyuan deliberately smiled bitterly and said: "A movie costs more than [-] billion. If it didn't know your level, the company would not dare to buy it!"

"In order to buy this show, I was almost reprimanded by the board of directors. If it wasn't for the very good performance after it aired, I'm afraid I'd have a meal."

"Just kidding."

Zhang Yang laughed and said: "With your status, who would dare to let you down, what do you think, Mr. Yang?"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, it's more than one billion. If it's really wrong, Director Guan won't be able to please him."

The corners of Yang Bo's mouth curled up a little, and then disappeared immediately.

"Fortunately, the playback volume of "Fist" proves everything, doesn't it?"

Guan Mingyuan answered.

"of course."

Guan Mingyuan never talked about serious matters, and Zhang Yang was happy and relaxed. The three of them chatted back and forth like this for more than half an hour.

During the process, most of the conversations were between Zhang Yang and Guan Mingyuan, while Yang Bo watched them.

Watching time pass slowly.

Zhang Yang noticed that the two of them looked at each other and nodded to each other, their movements unnoticeable.

He knew that the other party was finally going to talk about something serious.

Sure enough, Guan Mingyuan put down his tea cup, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, I came uninvited this time. In fact, there are other important things."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang showed an interested expression and said seriously: "Please tell me."

Guan Mingyuan coughed twice and cleared his throat with great solemnity.

"Mr. Zhang, Xuanyu and Xigua have been cooperating happily. You and I have achieved each other. With Xuanyu, Xigua Video has reached its current height. With the platform of Xigua Video, Xuanyu has developed to its current scale.

In order to deepen our relationship, I have a proposal.

Xuanyu sells 51% of the shares, and Xigua Video sells 20% of the shares. The two companies have cross-shareholdings, so that you have me in you, and you in me, strengthening the cooperative relationship!
Of course, this does not mean that your film will be licensed to Xigua Video for free in the future.

Brothers, settle the accounts clearly. From now on, Watermelon Video will still purchase all your films at the usual price. On behalf of the Alphabet Dance Group, I will do my best to help Xuanyu develop.

At the same time, we promise not to use any commercial means to kick you out of Xuanyu and Xigua. Even if we increase capital in the future, we will not dilute your shareholding ratio in the company.

how do you feel? "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't respond, neither spoke nor opened his mouth.

Seeing this, various thoughts flashed through Guan Mingyuan's mind, thinking that he might not be very happy. After all, with 51% of the shares, Xuanyu is no longer a publicity company legally, but a watermelon video company. That is, it belongs to Alphabet Beat.

Although the value is similar, even in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Yang is still making a small profit.

But he also knew that in this transaction, Xigua still made a lot of money.

Fu Yiming was right, the development of Watermelon Video has been tepid for so many years, if Zhang Yang hadn't been born, and Watermelon had a good relationship with Zhang Yang, otherwise, it would be very unpredictable what the situation would be like now.

What is certain is that without publicity, it is very difficult to develop to the current level.

therefore.

Guan Mingyuan thought for a while, and continued to add: "Of course, the shareholding ratio can continue to be discussed. If you accept it, 20% is only the minimum."

As soon as he said this, Yang Bo next to him moved his body and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

It’s a big no-no to directly say that I can still raise the price during negotiations!
Doesn’t the meaning of this sentence just show that you can kill me as much as you want?
Guan Mingyuan also knew that he shouldn't say it, but in order to let Zhang Yang see his determination, he still chose to say it.

He just wanted to be sincere and use this method to impress Zhang Yang.

"Oh?"

Zhang Yang smiled softly, but still didn't say anything. He even took out the Shenlong cigarette, lit it and smoked it.

The atmosphere in the room is a bit cold.

Guan Mingyuan looked unhappy when he saw this.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Yang Bo spoke at this time.

"I think 20% is enough to show sincerity, but" he said calmly with a cold face, "Mr. Guan values ​​you, and I won't refute him.

In this way, 22%, such a large share has exceeded the value of Xuanyu's 51% shares by a lot, don't be ignorant of flattery.

Of course, this extra 2% increase is not given to you in vain. You need to fulfill your obligations. "

The expression on his face was extremely proud, as if he was giving alms to a little beggar.

It seems that these 2% shares are just for your pity and will be awarded to you casually. If you get it, just smile happily.

"Don't know how to appreciate it? Haha!"

Zhang Yang smiled nonchalantly.

Guan Mingyuan observed the atmosphere in the field and felt something was wrong, so he hurried out to smooth things over.

"Mr. Yang is speaking outright, don't worry about it."

On the way here, the two of them did discuss it.

He sang red face, Yang Bo sang bad face.

Although he has a higher status than Yang Bo in Douyin, but he has a close relationship with Zhang Yang, which is also a negotiating strategy.

Zhang Yang cannot be allowed to think that he can get more benefits just because the relationship between the two is close.

In addition, he was also prepared. If Zhang Yang really didn't accept it, he could increase the share ratio.

It's just that as a businessman, it's his nature to value profits, so he doesn't want to give up more shares for nothing, so he wants to let Yang Bo slowly improve.

In fact, the bottom line in Guan Mingyuan's heart was far higher by 22%.

At this time, he continued to laugh and said: "Don't think that 22% is very little. With the market value of Xigua Video, every additional percentage point is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Of course, Mr. Yang may have a bad attitude, so I apologized for him.

I also know that you may not care about this little money, but this is a watermelon video, and there are great interests behind it, so you don't lose money at all.

However, we have always cooperated happily in the past. To express my apology, I will make the decision and add another percentage point. Please don't take Mr. Yang's words to heart, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two parties.

It’s just that you have to think about it for us. If you sell so much, you will benefit more, and we will lose money. In addition, in the future, everyone will cooperate in depth to seek common development, and we really need to fulfill our obligations. "

Guan Mingyuan did not consider whether Zhang Yang would accept what he said.

He had been thinking from the standpoint that Zhang Yang would accept the proposal, but he was not satisfied.

After all, if it were another boss, even if he gave up the dominance, he would almost certainly accept it happily.

Who is Xigua Video, backed by letters, with hundreds of billions of assets in the entire group, and a leading Internet company?

How many relationships and connections are behind it? How can ordinary people have it without large investments and constant hard work?
With these things, any company can develop faster, higher, more stable, and earn more money, and anyone will be tempted.

So he took it for granted that Zhang Yang would also be moved.

Guan Mingyuan accompanied him with a smiling face, his posture was very low-key, while Yang Bo was on the sidelines, but he was still aloof.

"Duty to fulfill?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yang flicked the ashes of his cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, raised his head, squinted at the two of them, and chuckled: "What are the obligations we should fulfill?"

"Of course it's for the development of Xigua Video, and everyone will work together."

Guan Mingyuan laughed.

"President Guan, please speak clearly."

Zhang Yang continued to downplay it.

His attitude seemed to be completely indifferent, which irritated Yang Bo.

Yang Bo suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhang Yang and said angrily: "What is your attitude?"

"Not satisfied with 23% of the shares? How big is Xigua Video? Many people want to join but can't find a way. We are willing to give it to you to save your face. You'd better accept it."

He looked at Zhang Yang with a gloomy look, and words slowly came out of his mouth.

"Xuanyu is just a small film and television company. We have no interest at all. If we didn't value you as a person, we wouldn't pay attention at all.

According to me, even if you give me all of Xuanyu Film and Television, you shouldn't transfer so many shares. 10% is already as high as the sky.

If it weren't for Mr. Guan's opinion, and I respect him, you wouldn't have gotten such good conditions at all.

Just like that, you still don't want to?How greedy! "

Yang Bo shook his head and sighed again and again: "Of course, any businessman wants to get more benefits, and I can understand you."

He waved his hand and said in a waned way: "Forget it, I really value you as a person. To show my sincerity, I am willing to promise that even if we get 51% of the shares, I will not take away your right to speak, and I am willing to promise Don't take the initiative to use the rights of being the largest shareholder, because I don't like this small company at all.

And your obligation is to film well and work hard for the development of Xigua Video. As for the rest, don’t think too much, we will naturally not treat you badly, and what is yours is yours. "

"Haha, according to Mr. Yang's opinion, should I be grateful?" Zhang Yang laughed loudly and stood up suddenly: "It's simply fantastic!"

"I thought it was a big deal to bother the two directors to come here in person. It turns out that they value me as a small person? But I'm sorry, please forgive me for not accepting it. I don't need the shares of Xigua Video, and I don't want the shares of Xuanyu either. You two, please come back."

The two of them were stunned, neither of them expected that Zhang Yang would say this.

"Hey! Zhang Yang, think about it again, you will definitely not lose on this deal!"

Guan Mingyuan was in a hurry, and quickly stood up to persuade him: "The matter of shares can still be discussed, as long as you can accept it, we are willing to make concessions."

"You have to calm down. What Mr. Yang said is indeed unpleasant, but it is also true."

“The various hidden things behind Xigua Video cannot be owned by you alone. These network resources are the most valuable wealth.

With these things, such as awards, publicity, approval, reputation, etc., everything is easy.

Just like this year's Jinpeng Awards, which will be held soon, you can easily win many awards by then!

You think about it, right? "

He acted as if he was really thinking about Zhang Yang, with a sincere face on his face, as if he was really a close friend who didn't want to see his friends go astray and miss good opportunities.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that Zhang Yang has all these things!
"Okay." Zhang Yang shook his head and laughed: "Mr. Guan, don't act anymore, I absolutely cannot agree. I don't need the things you said at all, and at the same time, I don't allow anyone to get involved in Xuanyu."

"How do you talk? I am completely sincere, how come I am just acting in your mouth? Zhang Yang, I am really doing this for your own good."

After hearing this, Guan Mingyuan hated iron.

At the same time, he immediately gave Yang Bo a wink quietly.

After Yang Bo received it, he immediately followed up and said, "Okay, I know what you mean by saying this. You just want more benefits, right?"

He looked deeply at Zhang Yang, with disappointment in his eyes.

"President Guan said at the meeting that you are a sensible young man, but seeing it with my own eyes today makes me a little disappointed."

"Let's do this. 51% of Xuanyu's shares remain as usual, and we can sign the contract and will never take away your right to speak. In addition, 30% of Xigua Video's shares are yours.

How about it?Such a request is already a very big concession. You must learn to be grateful and stop saying silly things like saying you can't get involved.

Young people, you must know how to be content with what you have. "

30% is the maximum amount that the two decided to give after discussion.

During the previous meeting, several members of the same faction actually discussed whether it was worth it.

In the end, it was Guan Mingyuan who made the final decision and decided on this bottom line.

30% is the most, and it is not easy to explain to other board members.

Guan Mingyuan also helped.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be ignorant!" He hated iron but said: "30%! What a huge sum of money this is."

"Yes! Xuanyu is developing very well now, but can you be sure that every drama can make so much money? The film and television industry is really in a slump now. In the two years since your debut, how many film and television companies have made money?

Mr. Yang is willing to give you 30%. You are getting a huge advantage! "

Zhang Yang watched the two perform and shook his head again and again.

This acting is not even as good as some little fresh meat!
As a director, if someone acts like this on the set, he will 100% scold him.

"Okay, you two, please stop acting. I can't stand it anymore!"

He had a weird expression on his face, as if he couldn't hold back his laughter, maybe he could burst out laughing in the next second.

Guan Mingyuan and Yang Bo on the opposite side looked at each other, and their expressions changed suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

The two sat down slowly. Yang Bo bowed slightly, without the previous arrogance at all. Guan Mingyuan also restrained his expression, sat on the sofa, and looked at Zhang Yang.

"You really disagree?" Guan Mingyuan's tone was calmer than ever before. "The price has already been raised by 30%, and you and I have been very happy to cooperate in the past. You have also made a lot of money from this deal, why don't you agree?

What do you think?Tell me.

However, stop saying that you are never allowed to interfere with Xuanyu. There are conditions for any transaction. Tell me your conditions and I will consider it. "

By now, he also knew that the trick of the two had been seen through, so he simply stopped acting and returned to his original self.

He was originally in a high position, and every move, word and deed had profound meaning.

When he returned to his original appearance at this time, Zhang Yang immediately felt completely different.

He was like a clown before, but now he is a real group director!

But at this time, Guan Mingyuan still didn't see the situation clearly, thinking that Zhang Yang just wanted to make conditions.

He didn't consider at all that what Zhang Yang said was the truth.

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhang Yang still couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, and almost burst into tears.

"Hahahahaha!"

He kept laughing, making the two people opposite him puzzled.

Ten seconds later.

Guan Mingyuan looked at him coldly, waved his hands impatiently, and said as if to repel flies: "Okay, Zhang Yang, I don't know what you are laughing at, but I feel very bad. Terrible, tell me your conditions."

"My conditions?" Zhang Yang said in amazement, "Didn't I say it a long time ago?"

"Mr. Guan, how good was everyone's cooperation in the past? Why do you have to control Xuanyu? Wouldn't it be great to go back to the past? I'm filming, you're playing, how happy it is to cooperate! Why do you have to make trouble like this?"

"To tell you the truth, even if you can acquire Xuanyu, I wouldn't film for you, and you actually made such a funny scene with one white face and one red face, how can I not laugh?"

"Not to mention, no matter how high your offer is, I won't accept it."

"It has become like this, and we will never be able to go back to the past. We will be enemies and not friends in the future. What a pity!"

Zhang Yang sighed deeply.

"Please come back."

He stretched out his hand and pointed toward the door.

"People who are not of my race must have different hearts, and this principle is the same when it comes to business cooperation." Guan Mingyuan looked deeply at Zhang Yang, and calmly said: "Although we have a happy cooperation, Xuanyu is not my soldier. , you are not my general, I must be in my hands.

Although the cooperation in the past was pleasant, wouldn't it be even more enjoyable now that everyone has become a family?
Zhang Yang, don't be confused, the shareholding can be changed again, as long as you agree to the conditions, how about 35%?If I hand over this number, even I will be criticized by other directors, and I will have to give up a lot of benefits to appease other people's dissatisfaction. This is already a very big concession! "

"Forget it." Zhang Yang sat down and slowly shook his head: "Absolutely impossible! Unless you give me the watermelon video, of course I can pay for it, but if you want to take over my company, you will never agree! "

Guan Mingyuan's face was ashen, and he said coldly: "This is your most sincere thought? Do you really not accept our conditions?"

"Not accepted!"

Zhang Yang answered very simply!
"I can't figure it out." Guan Mingyuan was extremely confused: "You know the existence of the Guapi Society, and you also know how powerful I am. Why do you have to fight against me instead of cooperating?"

"A small Xuanyu may seem very powerful to you, but as long as I use my strength casually in the group, you won't be able to do it at all. Believe it or not?"

"Do not believe!"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Did you see how many departments Xuanyu has when you came here? Even if you didn't see clearly, didn't you know Xuanyu when you cooperated before?"

He opened his arms and embraced the sky.

"Any film and television work, from the preparation of the project to the online screening, Xuanyu can completely do it internally. How can you make me unable to do it?"

"How can you make it difficult for me to do it?"

"Actors, funds, channels, publicity, any link can make you unable to continue!"

Yang Bo stopped pretending at this time, sneered again and again, and interrupted directly!

"really?"

Zhang Yang looked at him amusedly, and then looked at Guan Mingyuan: "President Guan, what do you think?"

Just as Guan Mingyuan was about to refute, he suddenly remembered everything he had encountered in the past, his face turned cold, and he waved his hands to suppress Yang Bo who was still wanting to speak.

"You are indeed very powerful. I underestimated you. I didn't expect that Xuanyu was turned into a closed loop by you!
But, what should you do with fantasy videos?

With the existence of Guapihui, no major long-form video playback platform has appeared in Longguo for so many years. I just need to use a little bit of tricks to make your website unusable.

Even if your future works cannot be found to be broadcast on a platform, it will be useless no matter how popular your works are. By then, with a family business as big as Xuanyu, you will be able to support labor, materials, machines, and various operating expenses. how long? "

After hearing what he said, Zhang Yang took it for granted.

If it were another film and television company, these methods mentioned by Guan Mingyuan would indeed be useful.

His power may not prevent the video website from receiving dramas all the time, but as long as it does not receive dramas for a period of time, it will not be able to continue.

In addition, if the show is not allowed to go online, the other party will definitely not be able to support such a large company, and the company will definitely collapse by then!

But who is he?

Systematic man!

There is a steady stream of money in the system. If it weren't for attracting more like-minded people, filming would require more manpower to produce more fantasy blockbusters. Zhang Yang doesn't even need to set up a company, and there is no problem with free uploads!

"You can try it and see if you can do it."

Zhang Yang didn't say it clearly, and still didn't care.

His attitude stunned both of them.

Guan Mingyuan looked at him, extremely confused, trying to see whether he was really confident, or if he was pretending to raise the price.

Yes.

Even now, he still feels that Zhang Yang is not satisfied with the price!

Because he simply couldn't imagine that someone would refuse the conditions he offered.

In fact, he had already had thoughts about Xuan Yu.

As early as when the filming of "Dragon and Snake 2" started, he had been to the set and watched Zhang Yang filming. At that time, he wanted to acquire Xuanyu and let Zhang Yang work for him.

It's just that he didn't show it later, and he didn't express his position until the group's senior management saw the benefits.

Otherwise, what Fu Yiming said would be true, he would just accept it passively, and he did not come in person for this negotiation.

However, he could not have imagined that what he thought would be easy to grasp would turn into what it is now.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to guess again.

"I don't know where you get the confidence." He stood up and looked down at Zhang Yang: "But I know that no one will refuse benefits. I will give you ten seconds to go from here to the door. If you regret it , we can continue talking. If you still refuse, be prepared to accept my suppression."

He took one last look at Zhang Yang, then got up and walked out.

Yang Bo counted the numbers behind him.

"ten"

"Nine"

"Eight"

"Seven"

"six"

"Fives"

"Four"

"three"

"two"

At this number, Guan Mingyuan paused deliberately.

He was expecting Zhang Yang's voice.

It's a pity that Zhang Yang didn't move, and even played with his mobile phone.

"one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Mingyuan took a step and walked to the door.

He put his hand on the doorknob, turned around and glanced at Zhang Yang, then withdrew his gaze and stepped out of the door.

"You have let me down too much!"

A word came from his mouth.

After talking like this, the two parties have already torn their skins.

Next, they will prepare to use all kinds of stormy means against the fantasy video.

"boom!"

The door was opened by Yang Bo, and then closed heavily.

Zhang Yang's ears were shocked and he couldn't help but take out a few words, and then sent a message to his secretary.

"Help me send Mr. Guan off!"
