I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 330 Price War

Learning English is a physical effort, but fortunately Brother Yu is 'extraordinarily talented' and is very good at it.

It's just hard work for Taylor, a part-time teacher, who thinks he has a good amount of knowledge, but he is helpless when he contradicts him.

"Have you ever thought about making a movie?"

Li Zhenyu is going to MGM for a meeting today, and Stephen Cooper has set up the crew.

"Music is everything to me."

Focus is a prerequisite for success, and Taylor is undoubtedly a dedicated person.

The time and energy invested in music is already all she has.

If it's just a part-time job, it's okay to make an autobiography or a documentary film.

Entering the amphibious development of the film and television industry will only be difficult.

In Europe and the United States, it is rare to see entertainers and stars who have developed a variety of habitats.

This is not only because of cultural differences, but also because of the influence of the model and the improvement of industrialization.

The fine division of labor in social industrialization makes everyone's position very clear.

There is no vague concept, lighting is lighting, and field affairs are field affairs.

Everything is centered on the producer, with IP and stories as the core content.

The influence of actors on the work is pitifully small.

Even if it is a big name to Stallone, Schwarzenegger, this kind of superstar who is popular all over the world.

It still depends on the face of the producer, and any unprofessional performance will be thrown into the cold palace.

Multi-dwelling development, in the eyes of the producer, is the most unprofessional performance.

No one would use such a star.

Even, they will be boycotted and suppressed. Multi-habitat development is a unique feature of the Asian entertainment industry.

Li Zhenyu almost forgot about this before, after being rejected by Taylor, he belatedly gave her a knowing OK gesture.

……

In the past six months, MGM has made frequent moves.

The biggest action should belong to the official establishment of Epix limited radio station.

MGM wants to expand its distribution network to compete with Time Warner's HBO in the cable-air space.

The copyright of The Hobbit is not all in the hands of MGM.

New Line and MGM each hold half of the copyright, with a clear division of labor.

New Line is in charge of production, and MGM is in charge of global distribution and publicity.

However, this time MGM offered a script that New Line could not refuse, giving it a certain initiative in the negotiation.

In addition to distribution, MGM has the right to speak in part of the film shooting by virtue of the script and the wonderful arrangement of the entire story line.

Although it is just a suggestion, at least the shooting is no longer a matter of the New Line family.

Out of 10 suggestions, one or two should always be adopted.

Otherwise, it will only make the relationship between them deadlocked, and it will be of no benefit to Xinxian.

"New Line still decided to use Peter Jackson."

Hearing this news, Li Zhenyu was a little bit downhearted.

Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy brought fame and fortune to New Line Cinema.

However, "The Hobbit" directed by him was criticized by fans, especially the original party.

The content of the originally tight-paced story has been changed beyond recognition, becoming bloated and lengthy, like an old lady's foot wrap.

Fans who have watched it agree that this is an epic blockbuster that is 'sleepy'.

It is true that Peter Jackson's skills are still there, and he has not completely destroyed this classic IP, making it a typical bad movie.

But compared to "The Lord of the Rings", the film adaptation of the prequel is undoubtedly a failure.

Li Zhenyu is very worried that he will split his script and try to replicate the success of "The Lord of the Rings" again.

"Even if the story line is lengthened, I think there will still be people who will pay for it."

At present, the whole story is in a hot stage, even if it is just for feelings, there are countless people who will pay for it.

"If you use your feelings once, you will lose one time. Doing so is tantamount to killing the chicken and picking the eggs."

Stephen Cooper, couldn't help it.

As for the proposal to change the entire filming plan, he thought it would be better not to humiliate himself.

"It seems that it is better to focus on Epix."

The copyright of The Hobbit TV series is completely in the hands of MGM.

Together with "A Song of Ice and Fire" in the hands of Li Zhenyu, the two masterpieces are enough to support a new radio station.

Get someone to shoot A Song of Ice and Fire as soon as possible to lay the groundwork for The Hobbit.

In terms of IP value, the latter obviously has more potential than the former.

As Brother Yu said before, dead artists are good artists.

Although Martin is his good friend, Li Zhenyu still appreciates Tolkien more when he thinks that he will ask him for money.

"How is the restart of 007 going?"

"Just reached an agreement with Kevin McGraw's asset manager, and the crew is already in place."

All the preparatory work is ready, just waiting for the official shooting.

In fact, during this period of time, MGM has already started to promote 007's new film on streaming media to a certain extent.

Just wait for the news to ferment and increase investment, the crew members will be able to officially meet with fans around the world.

I learned that MGM will focus on publicity on Facebook.

Li Zhenyu solemnly introduced the influence of Instagram and Twitter to him. Stephen Cooper said helplessly: "Twitter's effect is not ideal, and Facebook's return rate is the highest."

Before spending money, MGM will naturally conduct corresponding investigations to ensure that their money is worthwhile.

According to the survey results, the promotion effect of Facebook is the best.

"If only half the price!"

Ability almost doesn't matter, let's fight a price war first.

For MGM, whose finances are in crisis now, every penny can't wait to be split in half.

The temptation to fold in half cannot be ignored, and Stephen Cooper was really tempted.

"If it's half the price, I can try to convince the board."

The financial crisis has not yet completely passed, and the landlord's family has no surplus food. Of course, it is a good thing to save money.

Pick up the landline on the table and dial Lu Rong's number, "You talk to Stephen."

Hand over the phone to Stephen Cooper, and the two started negotiating over the phone.

Li Zhenyu made a promise, leaving Lu Rong with little room for bargaining in terms of price.

But she is very smart and focuses on the follow-up cooperation agreement.

If MGM has maintained its cooperation with Twitter, then the price can also make concessions.

Market share and number of users are the most important things to her right now.

The future is an era in which winners take all and losers lie flat.

If you don't fight now, you won't have to fight in the future.

Stephen was moved by her conditions and said that he would try his best to speak for Twitter on the board of directors.

As for the final decision, it depends on the decision of the board of directors.

However, the conditions given by Lu Rong are really attractive, and Stephen feels that there is still a chance of success.

"Tomorrow, I will go to MGM in person to explain to the board members."

Lu Rong's vigorous and resolute style infected Stephen, making his tone a little more determined: "I think the board of directors will definitely see your sincerity."
