Chapter 1590 The Title Is Crazy and Lost
"Now Now You See Me 2" hit North America at the box office in country Z, which no one expected.
Prior to this, the company analyzed internally that because this sequel added a lot of country Z elements, it might have a different potential, but who would have thought that the box office would be cut in half on its own site, but it would burst out brilliant sparks on the other side of the ocean , Fate is really elusive.
"How much is the box office in North America?"
"Only $65 million~"
Yang Cheng gasped, 65 million? This is too little. This is not a small production of several million dollars. New Era Films invested 90 million U.S. dollars in actual production costs for the second sequel, claiming 100 million U.S. dollars. 120 million U.S. dollars, North America, which is the main box office, only has a box office of 65 million U.S. dollars, which is simply horrible!
"What about country Z?"
"It is estimated that the final landing point will be around 100 million US dollars~"
"So offline income must be lost?"
Donna Langde said truthfully, "Yes, unless there is a miracle, it is expected to lose 20 million US dollars. Fortunately, the online income can make up for the loss. Including peripherals, there should be a small profit. The specific figure can only be obtained after detailed calculations. .”
Yang Cheng hummed, "Then what do you mean by calling?"
"About the development of the third part, I mean temporarily put it on hold, wait a few years to give the audience a time to forget it, and then restart it. In addition, the Chinese director Zhu of the second part, we will internally block it, and the time limit is 5 years."
Yang Cheng understands what Donna Langde means, and it stands to reason that there is no need to discuss this matter with him, but considering Zhu's Chinese identity, what if he interacts with the boss?
Yang Cheng's attitude towards this is business as usual, "No problem, it's really not suitable for failed directors to cooperate in the short term, so let's do business."
Donna Round breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I'm fine now."
Yang Cheng stopped her, "Wait a minute, will we have a movie released in the next few months?"
There is no need to think about this kind of thing, Donna Round said without thinking, "Yes, there is a small-budget movie called "Death Live", the script exposes the current popular problems, and it is aimed at young people aged 18-25.
Emma Roberts is leading the box office. "
Yang Cheng hummed, "What about box office expectations?"
"The investment cost is not high, 10 million U.S. dollars, the expected box office is 40-50 million U.S. dollars, and there is not much pressure on profitability."
"That's good. It's okay to fail one part, and two consecutive failures are never allowed."
"Understood, I will urge the Propaganda Department to work hard on publicity."
"Okay~"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng stood on the balcony on the second floor and shouted to the second daughter playing in the water downstairs, "Come back quickly and take a hot shower, the temperature will drop in a while, be careful of catching a cold."
Susu waved her hand without looking back, "Understood, I'll go back later."
Shaking his head helplessly, he wanted to find someone to rub his back.
. . .
The next morning, Yang Cheng finally met the target of the trip, Hams Muhammad.
The other party had an impromptu meeting last night, so they had to cancel the meeting with Yang Cheng, and moved it to this morning to have breakfast together at the hotel.
Because it was a private meeting, neither side put on any gestures. Yang Cheng didn't even bring Susu with her. She came to the restaurant alone. After waiting for about ten minutes, Layton picked up Harms and sat in the hotel's coffee shop. Enjoy a buffet breakfast.
After the courtesies, Yang Cheng tore the Arabic-style naan bread with his hands, dipped it in hummus, and asked, "I heard that General Hams is very familiar with the culture of country Z?"
Harms is quite modest, "I can't say I understand it, but I really like it."
"Then you should know that the people of Bangguo are very happy with their achievements, and they like to exaggerate their own advantages and ignore their own shortcomings, right?"
What Yang Cheng said, the average person might not be able to understand what he said before.
Fortunately, Harms' IQ is not low, and he also knew the significance of today's meeting, so he said softly, "We are looking at the cost performance,
At this price point, there seems to be no better choice than the K2. "
Yang Cheng glanced at Layton, who was eating with his head down, and said, "What if I can get a batch of M1A2 at a price no higher than 50% of the K2 tank?"
Harms raised the spoon in the air and stared at Yang Cheng intently, as if trying to find a clue from him, isn't this a joke?
The ex-factory price of K2 is 9 million U.S. dollars. Even if South Korea offers a price of 10 million U.S. dollars, it is not higher than 50%, that is, at most 15 million U.S. dollars, can you get an M1A2?
If this is the case, it is not impossible to consider. After all, the M1A2 is the most powerful tank at the moment. Of course, Oman is not unaware that there are still a batch of American products in service in their army, and they know how good they are.
But the price is still a bit high, which is why Harms frowned.
Yang Cheng really couldn't eat the combination of naan bread dipped in bean paste, put down the half-eaten cake, clapped his hands and said, "I'm just giving the highest price I can predict, and we need to discuss the specific content. For example, you can give me a piece of cake now." Guaranteed, I am also confident to help you negotiate a lower price for the next order of 70 tanks.
Serving customers is also the purpose of our company. "
Harms had done a detailed study on Yang Cheng before coming here, and when he heard him swearing in the sales field, he couldn't help joking, "When did New Era Media start selling arms?"
Yang Cheng was not aware of being ridiculed at all, and said very frankly, "If you don't have money, you must find a way to make money."
When Yang Cheng said that he had no money, Harms didn't even believe a single punctuation mark. In his opinion, this was the usual modesty of the Chinese. Yang Cheng had no money? It would be better to say that the desert of Oman has become an oasis.
Not entangled with this issue anymore, and returned to the tank, Harms gave a verbal guarantee after pondering, "If you can negotiate a price of 12 million US dollars, I am willing to immediately place an order for 70, no, 80 tanks. "
Yang Cheng was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, there were 10 more cars, a lot, worth 50 million U.S. dollars.
As for whether Damien can get a tank at a price of 7 million dollars, that is not within the scope of Yang Cheng's consideration.
He thinks that a second-hand tank sells for 7 million, which is already a high price.
However, he was worried about the verbal guarantee, and licked his face and said, "General, why don't we sign a contract of intent? You also know that some things can only be reassured on paper. After all, it is a deal worth 1 billion US dollars. , if something goes wrong, I can’t afford it.”
"Mr. Yang was joking, 1 billion is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Yang."
Look at this little word thrown away by others, now Yang Cheng believes that the other party is an expert in country Z.
But why does this sound so creepy? The implication is that you are ready to break the contract? Anyway, Yang Cheng is not short of money?
Fortunately, Harms didn't let Yang Cheng waste his brain cells, and simply said, "You can sign an agreement of intent, but the conditions must be limited. If it exceeds 12 million US dollars, the contract will be automatically cancelled, and you must compensate us a certain amount." loss."
That is, to set a liquidated damages clause?
Yang Cheng thought unhappily.
In his opinion, this is a matter of doing good deeds every day to give benefits, so why do you still stick your nose in the face?
