Under Ye Jin's strong request, Zou Wenhuai could only give in and allow Myth Film to participate in the release of the film.

So, Myth Film successfully sat on the negotiating table and participated in the negotiations between Jiahe and the Tokyo Company.

And things were indeed as Ye Jin expected, and Jiahe was indeed sacrificing the interests of Myth Pictures to achieve his own goals.

They cooperate with the Japanese company in a way that divides the money.

Generally speaking, the Japanese box office share accounted for 42% in theaters, and the producers and distributors accounted for 58%.

Jiahe and Dongying companies are both issuers, among which Jiahe should account for about 5%, while the proportion of Tokyo companies should account for about 15%.

As a producer, Myth Film deserves 38% of the box office.

In this way, Ye Jin was assigned to 19% of the box office, and Jiahe was assigned to 24% of the box office.

But in order to sell more movies, Jiahe forced his works and Jiahe's works to be packaged with Jiahe's works. In order to allow Japanese companies to accept the package, they specially lowered the share of Myth Film.

The box office of Myth Films was divided from 38% to 20%. The extra 18% were divided into two parts evenly, with Jiahe accounting for 9%, and the Japanese companies accounting for 9%.

In this way, the box office revenue has become 42% of theaters, 14% of Jiahe, 24% of Japan's company, and 20% of Myth Film.

In the end, Ye Jin received 10% of the box office, and Jiahe received 24% of the box office.

In this way, Jiahe not only did not get hurt at all, but also sold many more movies.

In comparison, Ye Jin made 9% less box office.

His "Drunk Boxing" has now reached 2.5 billion yen, and 9% is 220 million yen, which is about 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

A movie earns 6 million Hong Kong dollars less, while Ye Jin can make more than one movie a year. According to conservative estimates, the five movies are 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it is half a deal, it will be 15 million.

With so much money, Ye Jin couldn't make any money because of Jiahe's own selfishness.

Ye Jin certainly refused to do such a loss-making deal.

...

Jiahe's business strategy of [packaged sales] is actually not new.

Hollywood did the same back then.

Before the 1950s, the eight major Hollywood film companies lived a pretty good life, controlling the film, distribution, and theater chains. In order to ensure their own interests, they adopted the [packaged sales] strategy, and packaged good movies and bad movies to small theaters together.

If the small cinema does not accept such operations, there will be no movies released, so it has to accept the fraud of the eight major film companies with tears in their eyes.

Eight major film companies made a lot of money with the help of this sales model, even if they were bad movies. The small cinemas were in a terrible life and were worried that they would lose money from time to time.

Therefore, in 1948, America officially launched the [Paramon Act], requiring the divestiture of film companies' distribution business from theater business.

Similar to Hollywood in the 1940s, there were only four theater chains in Xiangjiang, Anle theaters only screened foreign movies, and Shuangnan theaters only screened left-wing movies, so small and medium-sized production companies only rely on Jiahe and Xiao.

Jiahe Xiao family is both the issuer and the theater company, occupying a monopoly position.

Xiangjiang does not have a similar [Paramount Act] to sanction their monopoly, so Jiahe's greed is not restricted and naturally exploits small and medium-sized film dealers, even its own satellite companies.

...

But Ye Jin didn't want to be squeezed like this.

More than 10 million Hong Kong dollars a year, this loss is too great.

He worked hard for a year and only earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

So he must fight for his own interests.

"Tell Jiahe's representatives that I don't object to Jiahe's desire to sell more movies, but I cannot harm my interests in this way." Ye Jin said to manager Guo Zhenghong, "Nineteen percent of the box office share must not be given up."

"I've recorded it." Guo Zhenghong nodded, and then asked, "But, Mr. Ye, what if they refuse to give in? Do you really have the determination to break up with them?"

If the negotiation is to be successful, it depends on the strength and determination of both parties.

Now Myth Films is far less powerful than Jiahe. If it is not determined to go all out, it will be difficult to wrestle with Jiahe at the negotiating table.

Ye Jin thought about it for a moment and nodded.

If he leaves Jiahe, his career will indeed be greatly affected.

For example, after the film is completed, there is a lack of theaters to be released; if the distribution channels in other places are not smooth, you may make a lot of money less; the plan to develop in Hollywood may be forced to be terminated, etc.

But the impact is affected, but it is not fatal.

After all, his fame has become popular now. If he wants to surrender to Xiao, Xiao will definitely welcome him with both hands.

Even, a fifth theater dealer may emerge.

Just like the Kowloon Bus Lei family in his previous life, in the late 1970s, they founded the Golden Princess Cinema and supported the Xinyi City Company, becoming the three giants in the Xiangjiang film industry.

Perhaps because of Ye Jin's sudden emergence, the Lei family may launch a new theater in advance.

...

In comparison, Jiahe also suffered heavy losses after losing Ye Jin.

After all, Myth Pictures has made so much money for it in the past year. If it loses this money tree, it will probably be difficult for it.

It is not easy to make a new star who can replace Ye Jin famous.

It takes time and opportunity.

So the current situation is that Ye Jin has no choice, but Jiahe has no choice.

Therefore, Jiahe is more afraid of the breakdown of cooperation than him, and therefore Ye Jin is more determined than it.

"Okay, since you are determined by Mr. Ye, then I can let go." Guo Zhenghong nodded.

He was previously the vice president of Phoenix Pictures and had great experience in fighting.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, should you plan ahead and prepare for the breakdown of the negotiation?" Guo Zhenghong asked again.

"You mean..." Ye Jin glanced at him.

"Say hello to Xiao first, or get some information with the media." Guo Zhenghong suggested, "As long as you reveal the news that you are leaving, I dare say that all the film companies in Xiangjiang will open the door to you."

"Don't hurry to take that step." Ye Jin waved his hand.

With his current fame and status, he can find his next home immediately as long as he leaves.

People with strong strength are so confident. They don’t have to worry about not being able to find a mentor.

But now I have just participated in the negotiations and don’t know what the negotiations are like, so there is no need to rush to turn against each other.

At this stage, he actually wants to continue to cooperate with Jiahe.

After all, Jiahe is basically the dominant family now and enjoys a lot of resources. If you go to Xiao, it would not be so generous.

But the premise is that Jiahe should not be so greedy.

It's 15 million Hong Kong dollars a year, and its appetite is too big.
