If the other party's offer is too unreliable, he can just use the other party's words to slap the other party in the face.

Secondly, out of his full understanding of the future world, Ning Weimin also knows that some things that may not seem of much value today have promising business prospects in the future.

For example, things like film libraries are like antiques, the more they are kept, the more valuable they become, but they are not taken seriously nowadays.

In this era, no matter which country, the most profitable movies are when they are first shot, and then the video tapes are released to make a lot of money. After that, you can only make a small amount of money by renting them to TV stations for broadcast.

Films with little influence, as well as old films shot in the early years, are basically left to gather dust in warehouses.

No one understands how amazing these copies can be in attracting money in the Internet age.

Except for Disney, not many people seem to understand the importance of IP, understand how to play with IP, and what huge economic returns can be obtained from it.

So copyrights are extremely cheap in this era, especially European movies.

Not for anything else, but because not only are there a large number of countries in Europe, they are also very small, and the film market is also small.

Each country also has its own film company. In order to maintain the glory of the place where the film originated and to compete for the right to speak of culture, new films are produced every year.

But converted into RMB, most of the films produced are small-production films with a cost of between 2 million and 5 million. The production costs are no higher than those in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, and they are barely higher than those of Bollywood in India.

That’s all.

Movies with large investments often require film companies from several countries to jointly produce them, such as "Zorro" and "Men's Ambition".

Then one can imagine the relationship between the number of European movies, the market, stars and prices.

As long as Ning Weimin briefly inquired about the market situation, he felt happy.

Because even if it is Alain Delon's movies, such as "The Dead", which helped him become famous in the early days, and "Zorro", which later became a global hit, high-quality movie classics, if you want to buy out the copyright in Asia, you can't

It only costs five hundred thousand francs.

It must be noted that it is a permanent buyout. After all, the latest movie is more than ten years ago, and even TV stations in Europe are not willing to spend money to broadcast it.

So for the film company that produces the film, if it sells it for a penny, it means making a penny in vain, so why not do it?

Realizing this, Ning Weimin had a new idea when he finally made the decision. He simply invited representatives from two French film companies to come and talk.

"Gentlemen, I have a new suggestion. I would like to discuss it with you. If one of you two is willing to spend three million francs to buy the movie "Li Xianglan" from our Fog Studio, and have it in Paris and Lyon, France,

If Marseille, Toulouse, Nice and other major cities can be screened at the same time for three weeks, and the number of screening screens is guaranteed to be no less than 150, then we are also willing to pay to buy the films produced so far in your film library

All the films are completed and we can maintain long-term cooperation in the future. What do you think?"

Needless to say, his sudden statement not only stunned Alain Delon and Keiko Matsumoto, but also made the heads of two French production companies burst into laughter.

"What? Three million francs! Guaranteed to be shown in five cities! It will continue to be shown for three weeks! Are you kidding, young man!"

"Haha, the number of screens is 150 yuan? No, no, there will never be that many viewers willing to buy tickets to watch it. Not only will we suffer heavy losses, but we will also lose face because the theater is too cold!"

They seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

But Ning Weimin still said patiently and seriously, "If the audience is too small, you can spend your own money to buy tickets for others to watch. I don't require you to show the movie all day long, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

That's fine. I just want the news effect brought by these terms and prices so that we can continue to expand the influence of this movie in the Asian market. Besides, you didn't hear my additional conditions, I will spend a huge sum of money

The funds will be exchanged for your useless copies, those outdated movies that not many people in Europe and America are willing to spend money to watch anymore. Your funds for shooting new movies in the next few years will be solved at once. And

Let me help you promote it in the Asian market. Whether it is for your country's film actors or your company, it will have a publicity effect that increases your reputation. It will definitely be more conducive to your country and your company's new films opening up the Asian market.

Isn't that enough?"

I have to say that both Ning Weimin's attitude and his proposals are quite convincing.

After he finished what he said, the heads of the two French production companies looked at each other for a while and calmed down.

"Are you serious? The total number of films we have screened by Organa Film Company is probably a thousand. No matter how discounted it is, it will probably cost two to three hundred million francs. Are you sure you are not joking?"

"Yes, young man, and our World Television and Film Company's film library not only has movies, but also TV series. Do you only want the movies or do you want both? If you really have such a big appetite, our quotation will probably be at least

Around four to five billion francs..."

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin actually laughed and answered very readily.

"I never joke when we are talking about business, of course I am serious. I have no objection to TV series. If you want to sell them, in fact, whether it is a movie or a TV series, even a cartoon or a documentary, as long as it is a completed film, I am willing to buy it.

Down."

It was just that he raised his eyebrows and immediately "revolted", which made the representatives of the two production companies feel that it was really difficult to resist.

"But I also have a question. If we start talking about the specific price and terms of the agreement now, are you two sure that you can make the final decision for your company on such a large deal?"

"Ahem, please wait a moment, I have to make a phone call..."

"Ah, I'm sorry, please excuse me..."

At the same time, the representatives of the two studios could not bear the pressure and left the meeting in a hurry.

Alain Delon's eyes when he looked at Ning Weimin turned into one of disbelief and confusion.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he could barely control his screams.
