Chapter 1265 Dreamworks Model
Text Chapter 1265: Dreamworks Model
"This...isn't that good?"
The principles of distribution are the same. Movies, records, DVD rentals or wine sales, etc., all require long-term cultivation and high professionalism, and they must cope with different local markets and preferences around the world. The investment is high, the number of employees is high, the policy environment is complicated, the big market has been divided up, and the emerging market has the enemy of piracy. Others are laying off employees and merging.
Back in Chicago, Song Ya kept looking for people to hold meetings while preparing for the performance. Today was the largest one. Daniel, Sloan, Linda, Yeremov, Riise who sold wine, Scout who sold clothes, and even McLaren, who sells display chips, is called, and there are Pge Law Firm, Alicia, Song Zecheng and other legal counsel, and O'Grady and other investment managers.
Yeremov is naturally against it. The a+ film studio is not troubled by being blocked in Hollywood, "This move will not only arouse the vigilance of the record industry, boss. Think about DreamWorks, the Big Three can only be under the watchful eye of the Hollywood Seven." Beg to survive."
This is an old-fashioned statement, and Daniel, who is wholeheartedly instigated, can't refute it. Everyone's eyes are on Song Ya at the top of the conference table.
"I have to sell my records. This is a very practical and imminent problem." Song Ya replied: "Disney is not willing to invest huge sums of money to expand the record distribution network for me, and they have no such obligation. Willing to act as an agent for overseas distribution."

"Don't worry too much about Hollywood. With the help of Disney, the Big Seven can't form a siege," Daniel said.
"Are the five conferences stuck in the sales network? If they collectively put pressure on stores such as Target, Presence, Best Buy, etc., just like the resale price maintenance case back then, it would violate monopoly. In the budget, the case-handling funds for that case have increased, so the Big Five should not dare to do it again?" Pge lawyer asked.
Daniel, who was sitting under Song Ya's head, shrank his neck when he heard the words.
"There are many ways to play in the recording industry. Third-party sales channels such as Universal and Sony Columbia have a loose organization similar to an agency club. If the internal coordination is good, if the five majors maintain a tacit understanding with each other, our records will not be able to enter."
Linda said: "And there are too many ways to play against singers personally. For example, if you catch some wrong remarks and directly create momentum, you can use the reason of not accepting your values to carry out the so-called 'just' ban."
"Is 100 million too much money? Building a distribution network to sell your album is like digging a pond for fishing..."
Sloan for example.
"It makes sense." Song Ya nodded. After building a distribution network, he had to support it. His new specialty would definitely not be able to make money back on this new distribution network. He asked Linda and Daniel: "Are we expected to receive other distribution business? "
"I don't see this possibility for the time being." Linda shook her head.
"A lot of independent labels would also like to have more options," Daniel said.
"If I remember correctly, Sony Columbia is the publisher of your Grass records, right?" Yeremov yelled at him.
"I……"
Daniel was about to retort when Melissa, who came to his side as a guest assistant in Chicago, knocked on the door and reported: "It's time for rehearsal."
Song Ya was too lazy to listen to the two of them arguing, so she just took the opportunity to get up, "Let's discuss it carefully."
Go downstairs to the big dance studio of a+ records, "Hey, Anne." Dance out of my life choreographer Anne Fletcher is waiting, and the most expensive mv in the history of apeshit with his ex-wife invited her, old friend.
"Long time no see aplus."
Annie is one of the choreographers of the Titanic. She and her teacher Shankman have both cooperated and competed in recent years, and have won a lot of choreography jobs for film and television dramas in Hollywood.
"Sorry it took so long to dance out my life project,"
Song Ya hugged her,
"Just these people, can it work?" The mv dancers still choose the dance troupe they toured, and Song Ya pointed to the young faces in the dance studio, "Maybe it won't take that much."
Known as the most expensive mv in history, then the cost of filming must at least exceed the current record. MJ keeps 8 million, a large part of which has to be paid to the Louvre and super expensive insurance. The original mv should have no special effects, Song Ya also Not ready to use, he gave Anne Fletcher the scribbled concept drawing based on the original mv, and her choreographer and dance company were also paid a lot of money.
"So I have to pick and choose?" Anne Fletcher asked. "The shooting date is next March? A week?"
"Yes, especially female dancers, you follow Mimi's height and body shape... In short, you understand."
"ok."
The backup dancer should not overshadow the heroine's limelight. Anne Fletcher is a big name in the choreography industry, so she understands it naturally. She flipped through the sketches, "You don't want to dance?"
There was no original version, and Song Ya didn't bother to practice the new dance, so she nodded, "I'm only in charge of rap, and mimi dances."
"Then I'll pick a good person and lead the team to New York to find Ms. Kelly? Her side?" Anne Fletcher asked.
"Eremov will help communicate with her agent. A+ Film Studio will pay you and the dance troupe, uh..." Song Ya will not worry about these trivial matters now, scratching her head, "In short, you and Ye Lemov discussed that you will be in charge of half of the director's affairs at the same time, Zack Snyder is busy with the Blade Runner project, and he will return to France to join the director and shoot in March."
"ok."
"When you go to New York, don't be too obedient to Mimi's words. You know, she always has a lot of unrealistic ideas, and she doesn't listen to other people's opinions very well. Don't spoil her, be ruthless, and help her manage it if you have the spare capacity Body shape, of course, don't design too difficult moves, she can't do it."
"ok."
Worried about Diva's ex-wife who is four years older, Anne Fletcher suppressed her smile and nodded frequently.
Hehe, you won't be able to laugh until you've seen her character, Song Ya reminded, "Don't forget the disaster of Xingmeng's tears, you don't want your famous choreographer's signature to be smashed by her, do you?"
"I see, uh..."
Seeing that he wanted to end the conversation, Anne Fletcher quickly said, "I haven't got the apeshit accompaniment tape yet."
"It will be delivered to you on the 26th, and it will be delivered to you on the 28th at the latest. Before my new album is released, it must be kept strictly confidential."
Song Ya thought for a while and asked, "Eremov told you that it was a song by the diss Grammy judges, right?"
"Know."
"It's too late for you to regret it now."
"It's okay, they won't expand to blame the choreographer."
"Um."
"Also..." Anne Fletcher stopped him for the second time, "I heard that the Dance Out of My Life series was released by Universal?"
"Yes, you are very well informed." Song Ya nodded.
"It's no secret in Hollywood. Does A+ Film Studio have plans to start the third film?" Anne Fletcher took the opportunity to introduce herself, "We had a great time working together on the first two films."
The third film has an apocalypse in her mind, and Song Ya is quite confident, "Not yet, the a+ film studio is limited and cannot start too many projects at the same time, let's talk about it next year. No problem, as long as the price is negotiated, I would like to continue to use it." You and your troupe."
"I mean the director, I feel like I'm ready, I just need one chance," Anne Fletcher said.
"Okay, I'll let Yeremov consider you." Song Ya laughed.
"Do you have a specific plan for the third part? Street dance plus ballet, modern dance elements?" Anne Fletcher is very good at seizing opportunities and continued to ask.
"Well……"
Song Ya closed her eyes and 'thought about it', "Tap dancing, salsa, popping, locking, breaking... probably these styles."
"Ok ok!"
This is equivalent to revealing the question, Anne Fletcher was very happy, "I remember, thank you aplus."
"Small things."
It happened to me too, I was too busy, and I was too lazy to worry about the chances that I missed, and it was really only for those who were lucky and prepared.
Anne Fletcher excitedly went to prepare without mentioning it, Song Ya devoted herself to the high-intensity quasi-closed rehearsal, hbo's Quan Mi live broadcast was the final battle, and there was no room for loss in Chicago.
"We feel that it is still safest to take the middle route and adopt a model similar to DreamWorks."
When he returned to the meeting room, it seemed that there had been a very heated argument. Daniel was panting uncomfortably. The whole meeting room was filled with smoke, and some old smokers saw him coming in and stubbed out their cigarettes.
The Dreamworks model is that most regions release and share with the giants, and some regions around the world are contracted to local powerful big agents at one time, and they make every corner by themselves, carefully trying not to irritate the Big Seven.
Linda reported the results of the discussion: "Overseas developed markets, mainly Western Europe and the book, can be relied on by Disney. Hong Kong and other places have invested in Norman Zheng's record company and contracted the distribution to him. In China, Song Zecheng said that he can contact local records in the south. The company, sign the agency agreement..."
"Daniel will set up a new publishing company with staff from the former Caroline Publishing Company, responsible for the Central and Eastern European region."
"There are only Spanish-speaking countries such as Silla and South America left, that is, regions with purchasing power, rampant piracy, and a particularly large but fragmented market."
Song Ya interrupted, "Silla has no problem, I can handle it with Silla." Silla's Samsung Group does everything, and it acts as an agent for the release of a record, and DreamWorks sold the Asian distribution rights except for the book to the Samsung Li family. Another established cj entertainment.
"Okay, that leaves only South America and other Spanish-speaking markets." Linda said, "It's a region that can produce millions of singers, and you are very popular there, boss."
"I can find people," Daniel said. "But building a distribution network will definitely cost a lot of money."
"Just use your relationship." Song Ya made a decision, after thinking about it, she planned to bring in Shakira's agent for balance, "I'll say hello to Mr. Estefan again, he is very good over there force."
"In fact, records can be sold through some traditional stores, and we can help." Scout and Riser, who sell clothes and wine, offered to offer.
"very good."
"There are also chain stores such as PCs and game consoles." McLaren of 3dfx said and gestured: "I don't think they would mind putting a small metal grid hanging records in the store, which is similar to the newspapers and magazines in convenience stores. Also through the Internet, there are some emerging companies that sell books and DVDs online.”
"Can 3dfx handle it?"
"No problem, of course the accounts must be clear, we are a listed company."
"It's the same on my side," echoed Sloan, who manages Littman Press.
"That's right, the solution is always forced out." Song Ya clapped her hands in satisfaction, "That's it?"
"Yes, we can help too."
Yeremov can be satisfied, doing so will not stimulate the recording industry's five and Hollywood's seven too much.
"That's it, let's do it!" Song Ya nodded.
"The equity aspect of the newly issued company..." Daniel wanted to focus on this.
"Wait until the above-mentioned problems are generally resolved, and then we can talk about it."
Song Ya stood up and supported the conference table with both hands, "In short, time is tight now, we have to race against time, the meeting is over! Go get busy."
