The investigation order against Don has not yet been lifted, but many major newspapers have apparently obtained some inside information, and there is less criticism of Tang En, and more of a concern and worry about the stock market crash.

However, there are no fewer paparazzi and reporters outside Tangen Pictures.

For the first time since the image crisis, Don appeared in front of many reporters, followed by many staff members, and happily accepted the interview.

"I reserve the right to prosecute many false statements in the media!" Before the reporters could speak, Tang En had a cold face and directly provoked the topic.

"I know that many people are paying attention to my affairs, but I believe that those who are clear will be cleared themselves! I believe that the FBI's investigation will soon have results, and I believe that the federal government will protect my legitimate rights and interests. As for the media that spread rumors and slander, if they continue to slander me unrealistically, I will definitely take up the weapon of the law. ”

Most of the people present were entertainment reporters, who were not interested in serious topics such as crime and law, and were more interested in Hollywood gossip.

That's the big selling point.

"Mr. Walker, Hollywood's gold producer Jerry Bruckheimer has canceled his collaboration with Down Pictures on the project, may I ask, what do you think about this?"

Donn was imposing and his expression was indifferent, "It's just a difference in work, and Mr. Bruckheimer may believe a lot of false statements in the media. But it doesn't matter, without this collaborator, we can look for a bigger partner. ”

"Bigger partners?" the reporters suddenly exploded, excited.

At this time, in addition to those Hollywood stars, will there be big companies standing up for Donn? Even Universal can't avoid it!

Tang En's expression didn't change in the slightest, "That's right. In fact, we are now on our way to Warner, and I have already made an appointment with Warner Bros. President Alan Horn to negotiate a partnership on this project. ”

"Warner?"

The reporters shouted in shock!

Time Warner was the world's largest media group before its merger with AOL, and its market capitalization is now more than $300 billion higher than that of Viacom, the second-largest media group.

In Hollywood, although everyone doesn't say it, but in their hearts, Don is now being suppressed by Disney and Fox. But once Don Pictures and Warner reach a cooperation, backed by a supergiant like AOL Time Warner, even if Disney Group and News Group are combined, they are far from opponents!

Don't......

Is this young man really going to get through the current difficulties?

……

Alan Horn is an outstanding film content talent, and his ability is even a notch higher than that of Bill McNick, and Don has a good impression of him, and he has never given up on soliciting him.

It's just that Alan Horn is now the vice chairman and president of Warner Bros., and with the current scale of Down Pictures, it is far from enough.

As the leader of Warner's film content, Alan Horn has already seen some of the footage and is very satisfied.

He already has a hunch that Peter Jackson will set off a wave of fantasy movies through this movie series!

And, it is precisely a fantasy series with the same name.

What's more, there are only 3 and 7!

If we can cooperate with Donn Pictures to develop this classic series completely, then in the next ten years, it will bring at least more than a billion dollars to Warner.

So, the negotiations went very well, Warner was looking forward to success, and Don needed allies, and the cooperation was a quick hit.

Warner Pictures invested $80 million, and Down Pictures invested $70 million and the film rights, each with a 50% stake, with a total investment of $150 million, to jointly complete the filming of the first part.

"Donn, Warner needs to get the distribution rights. After talking about the production share, Alan Horn put forward the need for distribution rights.

Tang En's eyebrows furrowed, "I'm afraid this is not easy to do, we have signed an agreement with Universal, and Universal will obtain the distribution rights of the films produced by Tang En Pictures in the next 3 years." ”

"But this movie ...... It's a joint investment, isn't it?" Alan Horn looked at him with a smile.

Don was embarrassed, "Otherwise, the distribution rights in North America will be handed over to Warner." The overseas distribution rights will continue to be handed over to Universal. After all, for this movie, Tangen Pictures has half of the copyright, and Universal deserves half of the distribution rights. ”

Alan Horn's deep eyes were indistinct, and then he smiled heartily, "Don, your recent life has not been easy. ”

Don sighed bitterly, "Yes, I was investigated by the FBI for no reason, and I also got into trouble with Disney and Fox, and no one has a hard time." ”

"How did I hear that you made a lot of money on the NASDAQ and made Wall Street blush?" Alan Horn laughed and looked at Donn, then waved his hand, "As for Disney and Fox...... It seems that your partner Universal has not given you much help. ”

Tang En looked helpless, "There's no way, the big backers of Universal are about to collapse, and a film company itself can't compete with those two media groups." ”

Alan Horn nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "So you need a new partner." ”

"But...... I've signed a contract with Universal. ”

"That's the problem you're going to solve, at least for this project, Warner has to get the distribution rights. Alan Horn's face flashed with displeasure.

"......What if," Donn raised his eyes and glanced at Alan Horn, "if Warner can provide some benefits that Universal can't, then it's not impossible that the distribution rights of the film will be handed over to Warner Pictures." ”

"Oh, what interest?" said Alan Horn with a smirk.

Everyone is smart and knows where the focus of this negotiation is, but they don't break it. Tempting each other, whoever wants to speak first with obvious motives will definitely greatly reduce their interests.

Don grimaced, "It's not a PR crisis yet, Disney and Fox...... It's hard to deal with!"

Alan Horn laughed.

Tang En sighed secretly, scolding the other party for being an old fox, he was young after all, and he still needed to grow in the way of negotiation. Fortunately...... This project, his original idea, was a "bribe" to Warner.

"There will be many sequels to this project in the future. Well, we can sign an agreement where Warner has the right of first refusal and the right of first refusal. ”

Don made up his mind in an instant and made a huge concession.

"Good. Alan Horn was very satisfied with Donne's attitude, and the smile lines in the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper, "Since we are partners, the image of Don Pictures also represents the interests of Warner, and we will not be polite to any company that harms Warner's interests." ”

Tang En secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this was the guarantee he wanted most in this negotiation.

"By the way, there's one more thing, I need to ask Mr. Horn for help. Donn paused, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

Alan Horn laughed, "Of course I can, as long as I can do it." ”

"A matter of words. Donn's understatement seemed to be very indifferent, "You know, I acquired Marvel Entertainment, but the copyrights of many superheroes are still left behind, among which Warner's New Line Pictures got the copyright of Blade." We tried to get the copyright back, but it seems that there was some major resistance. ”

Alan Horn didn't move.

Of course he knows about it!

The box office failed, and Fresh Pictures has long wanted to return the copyright to Marvel Entertainment, since the project is invalid, there is no need to waste $500,000 in copyright lease fees every year.

It was Alan Horn who stepped in to stop this, because he was keenly aware that Donne's kid was not as simple as he imagined, and for this project, Warner ...... It seems to be out.

Fortunately, this FBI investigation made Warner Peak turn around, not only putting Down Pictures in an impasse, but Warner also unexpectedly obtained the right to cooperate.

What a bumper harvest!

, but much more famous than famous!

Now that the cooperation has been reached, there is no need for him to stand in the way of the "Blade Warrior" going home.

Warner has DC Comics, and it really doesn't look down on the last superhero of Blade.

"And this?" Alan Horn looked surprised, his brow furrowed, "I'll leave this matter to me! Don, don't worry, within a week, I'll let the Blade Warrior go home!"

Don showed a look of "surprise", "Is it true, Mr. Horn?"

"It's true!"

……

On the way back, Ella Fisher was a little sullen, while Don was in a good mood and asked with a smile, "What's wrong Ella?

Ella Fisher huffed, "Donne, we'...... Isn't it a pit?"

"What?" Donn blinked, stunned.

Ella Fisher gritted her teeth and said: "That Alan Horn is not a good person at first glance, it is not enough to get half of the copyright, and he still wants to get his hands on the distribution rights, isn't this bullying?"

Don laughed.

Ella Fisher stomped her foot angrily, "Are you still in the mood to laugh? I really didn't expect you to have such a weak personality, if I didn't bow to them, Warner would be amazing?"

Tang En shook his head with a smile, looked out of the car window with his eyes, and whispered lightly: "Pit me? Hmph, in this world, the people who want to take advantage of me have not been born yet!"

"Huh?"

Ella Fischer's eyes flashed, and her words stopped at her Adam's apple.

Thinking of Don En's tough personality in the past, she didn't seem to understand, and a cloud of doubt rose in her heart: "Could it be ...... He's giving Warners a set? It's not like ah, the movie rights, but it's a real ......."

Ella Fisher bit her lip, puzzled.
