Donn spoke in a tough tone, "Mr. Horn, I said that I had to get the full rights to the entire novel before I could start this film project! Ms. J.K. Rowling helped her in the most critical moment, but what happened? She climbed the high branch and kicked Donn Pictures to the bottom, such a partner, I don't believe it." ”

"We'll fix it!" Alan Horn immediately assured.

Don shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Horn, I'm not in the habit of handing over the initiative, and Ms. Rowling's behavior is so disappointing. I just want to get the copyright and then everything works according to the contract, and I don't want to deal with this kind of person again. ”

David Heyman is very embarrassed, he is an Englishman, and he relied on his connections to win over JK Rowling to put pressure on Done Films.

didn't expect the young Donn Walker to have such a tough attitude.

"Mr. Walker, you ask for this...... It's hard to do. David looked embarrassed.

Don shrugged, "I know it's hard, but that's the premise of our partnership." I'm sorry, Mr. Heyman, I spoke a little directly, with the strength of Shengri Pictures, if I can't provide some special help, why should I cooperate with you?"

David smiled bitterly.

Yes, he has no copyright, no funds, no channels, just relying on a British face, he can participate in the operation of such a big project?

Shengri Pictures is not Warner Pictures!

David sighed, "Alright, Mr. Walker, I'll try to convince J.K. Rowling to sell you the film rights to the entire book." ”

This is the premise of whether Tang En Pictures can cooperate with Shengri Pictures and Warner Pictures!" Don stared at David Heyman with straight eyes.

"Well, I'll do it!" David replied firmly, feeling Alan Horn's deep eyes.

Don smiled and looked at Alan Horn, "Mr. Horn, with this prerequisite, I think we have the first basis for negotiations. ”

"What about the second foundation?"

Alan Horn has already seen that Donn does not value the benefits of capital, but many external conditions. This made it easy for him, as long as it wasn't a strict copyright agreement and a bonus agreement, it was simple for Warner.

It's just a matter of spending some network resources.

Boards value capital, not intangibles.

Don didn't hide it either, "Presumably, with Mr. Horn's energy, I must have heard that I am interested in acquiring Marvel Entertainment." ”

Alan Horn immediately frowned.

Marvel ...... He was all too familiar.

In recent years, Marvel has been in trouble, once listed, bankrupt and delisted, and was privately acquired, and life is difficult.

Alan Horn was interested in proposing to the board of directors and wanted to buy Marvel Entertainment.

But with the fiasco of the movies "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin", superhero movies have become a taboo for Warner, at this time, who dares to buy the mess of Marvel? Even DC Comics is about to collapse!

Now, after Donn's mouth, it has been confirmed that he is going to buy Marvel, Alan Horn's eyes are becoming more and more complicated.

What the hell is this young man thinking?

The market value of Marvel Entertainment Group is not high, and with Done's strength, it is enough to complete the acquisition, but it is just ...... You bought such a mess, do you really think you have a bit of a stone to gold?

Alan Horn is not easy to say, and it is needless to say that the task of his trip is to negotiate a cooperation with Donn Pictures on the "Harry Potter" project, not to be a savior.

On the contrary, if Don buys Marvel and has tight funds, then he needs Warner's support even more to develop "Harry Potter"!

Careful thought swayed Alan Horn's thinking, and said with a smile: "Didn't you get the support of CAA?"

Tang En spread his hands and smiled: "One more helper, one more hope for success." ”

Alan Horn cheerfully agreed, "Yes, Warner will support your acquisition and guarantee that your acquisition will not be raised by Hollywood peers." ”

"I heard that New Line Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have developed a superhero movie "Blade", and the relationship should be good, and it should be very effective to have them come forward to make peace. Don said with a smirk.

Alan Horn couldn't help but blush.

"Blade" was released one day later than "My Grand Greek Wedding", which is a face-to-face cutoff and a real fight in the ring.

But the result?

Instantly killed!

"My Grand Greek Wedding" is full of momentum, and the global box office has approached $250 million.

But what about "Blade"? The global box office exceeds $100 million, which is a miracle!

Losses are doomed.

"Ahem...... Alan Horn coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, "In terms of Marvel, we will send someone to make peace, with the help of CAA, plus the strength of Time Warner, as long as there is no problem in terms of funds, within half a year, Marvel will be yours." ”

Don smiled and clapped his hands, "Thank you so much!"

Don't forget, behind him is another big agency, Endeavor, and PR boss Avery Emmanuel. With the joint attack of these three major forces, Marvel Entertainment is determined to win!

……

Because Town's two prerequisites are not well reflected in the contract, the strategic cooperation agreement three days later is only the "priority right to cooperate" between Towne Pictures and Warner Pictures on the "Harry Potter" film project.

In addition to the complex proportions of copyright, dividends, investment, etc., the content of the contract revolves around "priority".

If Done Pictures wants to develop "Harry Potter" in the future, Warner Pictures has the right of first refusal. And Donn Pictures had to start the project within two years after getting the rights to the entire Harry Potter series.

Alan Horn's idea is very simple, with the strength of Don Pictures, it is impossible to accumulate enough funds to run the "Harry Potter" project in a short period of time, and then it will have to cooperate with Warner according to the agreement.

Andrew O'Haire is a veteran of Donn Films, and as a market analyst with a market judgment of 97, he can be sure that once "Harry Potter" is adapted into a movie, it will be a success.

But the boss Don's approach made him quite puzzled.

"Boss, are we really going to work with Warner?"

Don smiled, "Something?"

Andrew O'Hare frowned slightly, "Boss, "Harry Potter" will definitely succeed, and our cooperation with Warner is equivalent to sending our money to Warner's arms!"

"Oh?" Donn raised an eyebrow, "what do you think?"

Andrew O'Hare shook his head, "Boss, in fact, with your influence, if you want to make a movie, there will be many foundations, and even hot money from Asia and Arabia to invest in you, and we are not short of funds! More importantly, if you use their funds to make a movie, the copyright will still be in our own hands." ”

Don Pictures is his home, and Andrew O'Haire is really distressed to watch Don make such a "wrong" decision to send his family's money out.

Tang En's expression was faint, "Yes, everything will be under our control at that time, as long as the first film accumulates funds, the follow-up filming of Tang En Pictures can be sole proprietorship, and there is no need to share the benefits at all." ”

"Boss, then you are ......"

Andrew O'Hare was surprised.

Don smiled coldly, "Andrew, do you think Warner Bros. has mobilized so many people to negotiate with us just for the Harry Potter movie series?"

Andrew O'Haire's eyes widened, "Isn't it?"

"Harry Potter is just a little-known young adult novel written by an Englishman, and Warners is sure that the film will be a success?" Donn snorted coldly, "They sent executives like Alan Horn just to reach a strategic partnership with Done Pictures." ”

"Boss ......"

Andrew O'Hare was confused and a little confused.

"Andrew, Hollywood is the world of the big six film companies, do you understand this?"

"Yes, everyone was optimistic about DreamWorks, but ...... Hey!" Andrew O'Hare sighed heavily, "Even DreamWorks has suffered a lot of problems, and it can only rely on Paramount, and independent film companies are really too difficult to mix." ”

Donn nodded, "And can you predict the future of DreamWorks?"

"Future?" Andrew O'Hare's pupils slowly contracted, and he groaned slowly, "Maybe...... They will be acquired by Paramount. ”

"That's right!" Donn drank categorically, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, smiling rather than smiling, "Andrew, do you understand Warner Bros. plans this time?"

In just an instant, Andrew O'Hare felt a cold sweat break out, and he burst out in an incredible voice, "You mean...... Is Warner Bros. planning to buy Down Pictures?"

The corners of Tang En's mouth curled, and he said indifferently: "First of all, we will simply cooperate on individual projects, then the company will take shares, in-depth cooperation, and finally the overall acquisition." Warner Bros. wants to deal with Donn Pictures in the same way that it did against New Line Pictures. ”

"This ...... This ......"

Andrew O'Hare knows Done's ambitions, and this is even more evident through his acquisition of Marvel Entertainment.

It's just that......

Time Warner is a Big Mac!

Seeing Andrew O'Haire's stunned appearance, Don smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the monopoly pattern of the six major Hollywood film companies, DreamWorks can't break it, just because I can't either!"

Andrew O'Haire is naturally convinced of Done, who is not only his boss, but also his benefactor, "but Warner...... We've signed a contract. ”

Don laughed, "What a bullshit contract, it's just a 'right of first refusal'!"

Andrew O'Hare blinked, "Huh?"

Tang En lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously, "If you want to fulfill the contract, first of all, Tang En Pictures needs to find a partner!"

"You mean...... We run the Harry Potter project independently?"

Andrew O'Hare finally understood Donn's plan, he didn't plan to cooperate with Warner to develop "Harry Potter" at all, but took advantage of this negotiation to get the other party to agree to two requests, which is to play Warner Bros. in applause!

"But...... Do we have that much money?"

"Money?"

The corners of Tang En's mouth curled slightly, "The problem of funds will never be a problem!"
