"I thought about it before and I think we can basically accept the cooperation framework given by Dimension Entertainment."

Looking around the entire conference room, Zhang Yanping's eyes finally set on a white man sitting at the long table and asked, "Andrew, what do you think?"

This man named Andrew is the person in charge of the "Fist" from the United States.

After listening to the translation next to him, Andrew responded: "I have no objection, I think it's acceptable."

Andrew has also participated in his previous negotiations with many Hollywood companies.

Those American movie giants' very ugly eating patterns made him feel angry and frustrated for a long time.

After a whole morning of communication, Ye Jiayi gave him a good feeling. Although the woman was always serious and looked serious, compared to the situation he encountered in Hollywood, Andrew felt that Weidu Entertainment was quite friendly.

Not only him, but many other people in the conference room also expressed their acceptance.

Zhang Yanping nodded and said, "Okay, next, we can discuss the specific copyright sharing method first and reach preliminary opinions first so that we can continue to talk to Ye Jiayi in the afternoon."

...

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ye Jiayi returned to the Penguin Group headquarters building on time. At the door, Zhang Yanping's assistant was already waiting for them.

Under the guidance of the other party, Ye Jiayi and the team she brought entered the building.

Walking inside, she looked around.

I have to say that Penguin is really grand and modern in this headquarters in Shenzhen.

This made Ye Jiayi feel a little envious.

But then, she left this emotion behind.

She had a belief that, perhaps, under the leadership of Fan Zhe, Weidu Entertainment might also have an office building that is the same or even better in the future.

After taking back her thoughts, she and her assistants and colleagues brought her to take the elevator and quickly returned to the conference hall in the morning.

Negotiations between the two sides will continue.

...

At the beginning of the afternoon talks, Zhang Yanping set a tone: "We are willing to accept the big cooperation framework you proposed by Ms. Ye, but we need to further discuss the specific content."

"Okay." Ye Jiayi said, "Then let's come one by one. The first point is that the shared heroic characters are not authorized to develop any other film and television copyright without the written consent of Weidu Entertainment."

After arguing for a while, Zhang Yanping finally said that this is basically acceptable.

Since it is a cooperation, this is inevitable. It is impossible for Dimension Entertainment to obtain copyright sharing, and Fist or Penguin can also develop copyrights for the corresponding character image at will. That is impossible.

Next, Ye Jiayi mentioned the second point: "The shared heroic role and the interests of movie investment are divided according to the investment ratio of both parties. This share is not only the profit of the movie, but also the peripheral copyright generated by the character, from figures, toys, to clothing, printing, to advertising and character image authorization... all peripheral products are divided in this way."

Zhang Yanping quit.

"Mr. Ye, your proposal is too exaggerated and we cannot accept it."

Ye Jiayi took a sip of water and his face remained silent.

Zhang Yanping paused and continued: "You mentioned that there are too many items involved in the sharing of interests, and all peripheral products are involved, which is impossible. According to your statement, this is equivalent to the sharing of all copyrights about this hero, which is inconsistent with the sharing of film and television copyrights we discussed before."

"In addition, we cannot accept this plan by determining the share purely based on the investment ratio. This cannot reflect the copyright value of "League of Legends". We paid the copyright, but it actually enjoyed the same profit share as your party. Ms. Ye, I am foresight, your idea is too wild."

"You have paid copyright, and we have also paid what we deserve. Not only in China, but also in the whole world, the visual technology level of Dimension Entertainment is the top. Apart from us, it is probably difficult for you to find a company with the same strong technical capabilities."

Ye Jiayi paused and continued, "Even if you go to find Industrial Light Magic and Vita, I believe that we are stronger than each other and have a lower cost."

"But, please allow me to interrupt." Andrew next to Zhang Yanping also spoke. He spoke in English, but Ye Jiayi didn't struggle at all, and her English was also very good.

Waving his hand and interrupting the translation, Ye Jiayi switched to English and said, "You can continue talking."

"Okay." Andrew said: "I believe what you said, and I also believe that the technology of WeiDu Entertainment is very incredible. But there is a key point. No matter how good the special effects are, these things will eventually be reflected in the production budget cost. And this part of the money is borne by us and your company. Therefore, it is not appropriate for you to use the special effects production level as a bargaining chip."

Ye Jiayi chuckled, shook her head, and glanced around between Zhang Yanping and Andrew: "If you think so, you're very wrong. We have strong technical capabilities, which is only one aspect, but you may have ignored the latter advantage I mentioned: cost."

"All the projects of Dimension Entertainment are made by themselves. So we don't need to be responsible for the cost budget, so we tend to estimate in a more conservative way. But in fact, if the corresponding level of special effects production is produced at the same level, our fees cannot be so low."

"You can see this from film and television works produced by many dimension entertainment such as "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", "Master of Martial Arts", "Hell Apartment". From the level of special effects, the number of shots for making special effects, and then comparing them with the cost of the work, you will have a very obvious feeling."

"Especially "Hell Apartment", there are many special effects of the same level that can be made like this worldwide, but the total investment amount of that movie is only 20 million yuan. You go to Vita, find Industrial Light and Magic, and see if 20 million yuan is enough for them to make one-third of the special effects of "Hell Apartment".

The more Ye Jiayi said, the stronger the momentum became: "This is what Dimension Entertainment pays for, and it is irreplaceable."

There was silence in the field.
