Looking at the 'General Manager Feng' from Daxu Culture across from him, Cao Lang slowly spoke:
"The second cooperation method doesn't even require Daxu Culture to pay any special effects fees. From now on, all the special effects for your movies will be handled by our Feilongxian Special Effects Studio."
Of course, we also need to survive, so we hope that Daxu Culture can allow our studio to take a certain percentage of the box office revenue.
Mr. Feng, you can think of it as us investing in special effects technology…
As he said these words, Cao Lang's thoughts were somewhat wandering.
A year ago, he never imagined that Daxu Culture would develop so quickly.
Especially that kung fu movie that made the other party a fortune a while ago, made Cao Lang and the others from Feilongxian Special Effects Studio green with envy.
After all... they put their heart and soul into these movies.
Why is it that Daxu Culture can earn a share of the box office revenue, while their studio can only get a small fee from Weibo?
This is so unfair!
With this in mind, when Daxu Culture needed special effects services, Cao Lang knew that his Flying Dragon Immortal Special Effects Studio had found its opportunity.
The price increase mentioned earlier was just a pretext; their real purpose was to obtain a share of the box office revenue from all of Daxu Culture's film projects.
This is far more attractive than receiving a small service fee.
In fact, Feilongxian Special Effects Studio might not have made this request for other film projects.
However, the box office strength demonstrated by Daxu Culture led 'Flying Dragon Immortal' to make this choice.
It smells so damn good!
From 1.5 billion for 'Summer Fall', to 500 million for 'Stone', to 5 billion for 'Kung Fu', and now to at least 1 billion for 'Racing'.
In just over a year, Daxu Culture's total box office revenue from all its film projects will exceed 8 billion yuan.
What an amazing number.
If Feilongxian Special Effects Studio can get 5% of the box office revenue, that's 400 million yuan in income. That's much better than making a few million or tens of millions of yuan.
Not to mention Cao Lang, who was already thinking about how to make a fortune by relying on Daxu Culture.
After hearing what the other party said, Feng Xiaoxia was completely stunned.
He never expected that after making such an unreasonable request, the other party would come up with an even more outrageous plan.
An 80% price increase was already quite shocking.
This means that Daxu Culture's spending on special effects will nearly double in the future, a demand that Feng Xiaoxia finds completely unacceptable.
Little did he know that he had underestimated his opponent's greed.
The other party wasn't just after special effects fees; they were also eyeing the box office revenue of Daxu Culture's film projects.
It's important to know that since the founding of Daxu Culture, all the funding for its film projects has come entirely from the company's own pockets; it has never accepted a single penny of investment from outside.
This means that apart from the necessary revenue sharing from the cinemas and film fund taxes, the rest of the box office revenue goes into Daxu Culture's pocket.
However, now, a small special effects studio is actually trying to get a piece of the pie.
How dare they do that?
Feng Xiaoxia was indeed shocked.
It's like their Daxu Culture is a restaurant; every dish they make can generate a certain profit.
Because the dishes tasted excellent, the restaurant's net profit was also very high, and the business became increasingly prosperous.
However, one day, the chicken supplier who provided the restaurant was no longer willing to accept payment for the goods; he actually wanted to take a share of the restaurant's profits...
The analogy may not be quite accurate, but that's really how things are.
In short, Feilongxian Special Effects Studio was simply envious of Daxu Culture's success and felt they weren't earning enough, so they came up with two completely unreasonable solutions.
But have they forgotten that the 'chicken' they're selling isn't unique to the market?
If the 'chicken' from your Feilongxian Special Effects Studio is too expensive, or if you're still thinking about profit sharing, Daxu Culture can easily find another 'chicken' supplier!
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxia smiled and said:
"President Cao, I don't even need to go back and ask our President Xu for his approval regarding this plan for sharing box office profits; I know he will absolutely not agree."
However, regarding the price of the special effects service, our General Manager Xu has agreed to increase it by ten percent.
If you agree, then there is still a chance for us to cooperate.
If they disagree, then unfortunately, DaXu Culture will have to find another special effects studio to collaborate with.
What puzzled Feng Xiaoxia was
After he finished speaking, Cao Lang opposite him actually laughed and said:
"Mr. Feng, there's something you might not know. Just recently, several of our large special effects studios jointly spearheaded the formation of a special effects studio alliance."
I won't go into the specifics of the alliance, but there's one goal: to make money together.
In other words, for special effects services in movies and TV series, studios that have joined the alliance will maintain roughly the same price.
Alternatively, they could adopt a revenue-sharing model based on film box office revenue...
So, Mr. Feng, you will receive the same treatment wherever you go after you leave our Feilongxian Studio today.
Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go back and inquire first. If you're interested then, we can talk again.
Hearing these words, Feng Xiaoxia was startled.
