The panda is a national treasure of China and a business card of China.

Seeing that the cartoon with the panda as the protagonist is so popular abroad, the Chinese audience suddenly felt a sense of pride.

You see how popular our national treasure is.

It's as if the panda was their family.

There is also a kind of child who used to have mediocre test scores, and suddenly one day he came home and told you that he had taken the first test in the class and the top ten in his age, which made parents happy, and they couldn't wait to see people to say how good their children were in the exams.

Discussion, celebration.

Wang Ye's film as the first director is so popular in North America that it goes without saying that ordinary media, of course, it is a big report, and even the 7 o'clock news on national TV has mentioned it.

And in this news, Wang Ye is called an international director, an international screenwriter, and an international film investor.

These three internationals are equivalent to the official justification of Wang Ye's name, and the official authority is very, very high.

This honor made Wang Ye feel heavy.

Some viewers who don't know much about it, when they first hear this cartoon, they will subconsciously think that this film is produced by Disney.

But after really understanding it, I found out that this well-made and excellent animated movie was not produced by Disney, but they had never heard of it, from an ancient and mysterious country - China.

This surprised many people, it turns out that Huaxia also has such a strong film company.

Wang Ye Media has truly entered the international market for the first time.

Although "Inception" was also Wang Ye's screenwriter and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, Wang Ye Media also invested, but it did not attract much attention at the time.

The main reason is that Nolan's limelight is too strong, and it bit overshadowed Wang Ye's limelight at that time, which is helpless, Nolan, as a director who is called a god-like director in North America, it is difficult to overshadow his limelight.

"Do you plan to put the company at home or abroad?" Wang Ye asked Liu Sijun.

After the two returned from Las Vegas, they discussed for several nights, and finally decided to set up a company to specialize in operating the film rights and derivatives under Wang Ye Media.

At first, Wang Ye planned to let Liu Sijun invest alone, but Liu Sijun didn't do it, saying that he had already taken advantage of it and couldn't be so brazen.

In the end, Wang Ye of the new company was 51% and Liu Sijun was 49%, seeing Liu Sijun's insistence, Wang Ye had no choice but to give up and did not entangle any further.

However, the day-to-day management is still carried out by Liu Sijun.

Liu Sijun said: "Put it abroad, foreign countries are very mature in this regard, and the environment in China is not very good in this regard, and I don't have such a big ideal, saying that I want to change something." ”

Wang Ye nodded.

Liu Sijun is right, not to mention the problem of piracy in China, there is also an outdated concept design, saying that it is a derivative, but the things made do not dare to agree, which needs to be learned from abroad.

There is also a complete ecological chain abroad.

A film, from pre-development, investment, film production, sales and distribution, derivatives and copyright development, this is a complete process, and basically every film is developed according to such a process.

In China, if a movie does not work at the box office, it is basically certain that this is a work with failed investment, but it is different in North America, a movie may not have any results at the box office, but it will make a lot of money in derivatives and copyright operations later.

Especially in the area of derivatives, some movies performed mediocre at the box office, but derivatives were sold well, and some of them recovered their costs.

Of course, those works that are box office hits and have high development value, and derivatives are even more popular, earning more than box office revenue.

"It's good to put it abroad. Wang Ye nodded and said, "It's just that in this way, you may have to stay abroad for a long time, and your parents may not be very happy." ”

Liu Sijun said: "I have already thought about this, I have already found someone to dig a professional manager for me, I used to do this work, and I am very experienced." ”

Wang Ye looked at Liu Sijun, but he didn't expect that this kid had already found someone.

"Are people reliable? Don't be deceived. ”

Liu Sijun said: "Don't worry, my friend is my buddy, who is a particularly reliable person, there is absolutely no problem." ”

"Besides, although I won't be here for a long time, I will still come over every once in a while to have a look, don't worry, I know it. ”

"It's good to have a number. ”

Wang Ye didn't expect that after only a few days of Kung Fu Panda's release, someone came to discuss cooperation.

"Hello Mr. Roy!"

Roy, a vice president of Disney, sounds like a high official position.

Wang Ye was a little puzzled, what was the so-called thing that Roy personally came to the door.

"King, you know what? I'm a fan of yours. After Roy saw Wang Ye, he took the initiative to hug him.

The fat body, like meat wrapped in meat, looked from behind Roy, and he couldn't see Wang Ye's people.

Wang Yeqiang smiled, still a little unaccustomed to the enthusiasm of Westerners, this is the first time they meet, hugging, is it a bit too fast.

There are also fans who say they are their own when they meet, which sounds so fake, and Wang Ye doesn't believe it.

After the greetings, Roy finally said what he meant, and originally wanted the portrait rights of "Kung Fu Panda".

You have a vision.

Roy said: "King, our company is willing to pay $3,000 to buy the portrait rights of all the characters in the movie "Kung Fu Panda". ”

30 million US dollars, how can there be two or three hundred million yuan in RMB, which sounds like a lot.

But Wang Ye was not carried away by this huge number.

Wang Ye smiled: "Is it a year within the scope of Trump?"

This number sounds like a lot, but it is definitely not worth it when you calculate it carefully, and 30 million US dollars is definitely the price of a cabbage.

To be honest, Wang Ye was a little angry, this was treating him as a fool.

Roy is coming to talk about cooperation now, he must want to take advantage of the fact that the movie is still in theaters, and in the uncertain market, he will come up with a very high price, and buy the copyright first.

Roy paused for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. King is really joking, what I said is global, as for the deadline, we can talk in detail, but it will be at least 10 years." ”

Wang Ye shrugged and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Roy, I'm really not joking, if it's like that with you, then we have nothing to talk about." ”

Then there was an expression of wanting to send off a guest.

"No, no, Mr. King, I'm very sincere, if you are not satisfied with this price, we can add more, what do you think of 50 million US dollars?"

"Send off!" Wang Ye said expressionlessly.

Liu Sijun stood up very tacitly at this time.

"Please, Mr. Roy. ”

Roy didn't give up and said, "I think we should talk about it again, calmly." ”
