Chapter 584: The Tiger's Mouth Snatches Food
Although "Super Body" once again got very beautiful box office results, Chen Feng, who was inspecting Europe, was not very happy.
James and Mike provided several European film special effects companies, although the technical level is good, almost equivalent to the first-class level of the trench house, but compared with the two top companies of Aaron and Zhijia, they are still a lot worse.
Moreover, the attitude of the company over there is even more arrogant.
Because they not only feel that Chinese movies are inferior to them, but they even feel that the trench house is inferior to them.
After Chen Feng and his entourage tried to visit several related companies, they finally gave up.
Because this path really doesn't work.
However, this trip was not without gains.
The "Duhuo" filmed by Ping An Investment Company before sold well in some literary film theaters in Europe, and some agency companies heard that Chen Feng was here again, so they came to the door one after another to see if there were other opportunities for cooperation.
Chen Feng thought about it, and it is estimated that only the "Moon", which has not yet been released, is more suitable for the literary and artistic market in Europe, so you can come and try it when the time comes.
I talked to several copyright agency companies, and the other party was also very interested, saying that they would definitely pay attention to this film called "Moon" at that time.
By the way, Chen Feng asked these people about the situation of those special effects companies in Europe, and as a result, the other party also said that those companies were not easy to cooperate with, and it was even better to come to the house, and in the end, Chen Feng also gave up his plan to continue to look for opportunities here.
But it doesn't matter, everyone should come and take a tour.
……
And when Chen Feng and the others came back from Europe, Brian couldn't wait to find the door.
In any case, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, for he has already spent too much time and too much energy on this matter, and if it continues without results, the loss will be too great, and he is even ready to ask Paul for instructions and no longer be responsible for this matter.
However, Brian is still faintly looking forward to Chen Feng being able to agree to Aaron's conditions, after all, he is really optimistic about this project, and after this period of time with the original author Caron, he is more and more convinced that once the first part of "Avatar" is successfully developed, this will be a treasure IP!
Even, Brian also vaguely expressed that he hoped that Caron could break off the cooperation with Chen Feng and directly join Aaron to redevelop the project, so that it would be convenient for everyone, and Aaron would give Caron more creative space and economic benefits.
On the one hand, Chen Feng was the first person to recognize his work, and he was very grateful for it, and the price given by Chen Feng at the beginning was not small, and there was even some share in the follow-up!
On the other hand, compared to Brian, Caron still feels that Chen Feng understands him better and understands the alien world of "Avatar" he created.
This is especially important, because when discussing with Chen Feng, especially the plot and some details of the first part, Chen Feng can even sometimes give him some creative inspiration, so that he can make his works more perfect.
This kind of feeling has never been encountered by Caron, and because of this, he agrees with Chen Feng's side even more.
As for Aarongo, although that kind of big company will really make a lot of money, it is also possible that Caron will completely lose control of his work.
This is something he definitely doesn't want to see.
Therefore, in the end, Cuaron directly ignored Brian's hints to him, which made Brian also helpless and could only continue to negotiate with Chen Feng.
……
When they sat together again, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile.
Brian was grimacing.
The two sides simply didn't go around the bend anymore, Brian said the new conditions given by Aarongo's side, and Chen Feng also said his bottom line.
"No, it's still too high, I can't let you Brother Aaron get more than twenty percent of my Avatar project!"
"Twenty percent?" said Brian's face in despair.
This number is too low, and by the standards of Aarongo, it is absolutely impossible to agree.
With this alone, the two sides will never be able to reach an agreement.
"As far as I know, the results of your trip to Europe are not ideal...... Bryan asked suddenly.
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, the conversation over there is not ideal, so ...... Basically gave up. ”
"Then why...... Would you rather let Avatar not come out for the sake of a little profit? Aren't you worried, don't regret it? What about making a little concession?" Brian said, feeling a little emotional.
Chen Feng shook his head with a smile.
"I can wait, for two or three years, four or five years, or even five or six years...... The copyright is in my hands, I can shoot whenever I want, maybe in a few years, the technology I need has become a rotten street, then I can use it casually, and I don't have to ask people everywhere. ”
"As for Avatar...... The core of the film is still the story, and the story itself will never go out of style, which I am not worried about at all, and ...... Next, I can develop the comics, animations, and even peripheral toys of "Avatar" first, so that I may be able to raise this IP even bigger, so I'm not in a hurry. ”
"As for concessions...... I'm sorry, but my bottom line is that I won't let it, whether it's a third-rate small company or a first-class large company. ”
After listening to Chen Feng's words, Brian was speechless.
……
The last negotiations, as expected, were still inconclusive.
Brian could only go back to Aaron very depressed.
When the relevant situation was reported to Paul and replied to the headquarters, the headquarters also said that the matter should not be taken care of for the time being.
Because in order to fight against the superhero series on Brother Zhijia's side, Brother Aaron himself began to make related genre movies.
Doesn't Brother Zhijia have a series of superhero IPs such as "Iron Man"? Then Brother Aaron also bought some other superhero series IPs, and the two sides will start to fight directly!
This is also the main direction of Aaron's development in the next few years.
Hard-hitting, snatching food.
Because only by defeating the enemy can you keep yourself safe.
Aaron also paid a huge price for this, hired well-known directors and big-name actors from the trench house, and wanted to use the largest investment to make a superhero movie that is better than "Iron Man".
This is the way for the rooftop film and television giants to connect with each other.
Of course, Brother Zhijia is not false at all, while developing "Iron Man 2", more superhero series projects have been announced one after another, and some have even been officially launched.
A showdown at the pinnacle of the trench is about to begin!
