Chapter 115: An Unexpected Call
"By the way, you asked me about it. ”
Old Man Han was wearing a white shirt and a suit behind a chair, and he sandwiched a few slices of scalded tender mutton and put them in the boy's bowl.
There are only a few dishes and three plates of meat on the table, two people can't eat much, the fire under the mandarin duck hot pot is swayed by the wind, the soup in the pot is boiling, and the white steam is filled.
Han Xuan's lips were spicy red, and he was stunned when he heard his words, and replied, "What's the matter?"
"Those toys. ”
"Transformers? Have you contacted Hasbro? ”
Han Xuan put down his chopsticks, lay on the back of the seat, patted his stomach and burped, and waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't eat.
"They didn't agree to buy the movie rights of Transformers for $3 million, but I didn't say anything, I asked them in the name of Dimen Pictures, as if the president of Hasbro was very interested in Marvel, and mentioned it more than once when he spoke. ”
"Marvel? What are they talking about? ”
Han Xuanzhu was uncomfortable, stood up and shook it, and then said: "Hasbro wants the image authorization of other superheroes, the contract signed before will expire in December this year." ”
"Maybe you can make a fuss about it, they have a demand, and then it's easy to talk about it, but what do you want these toy copyrights to do, with the current technology, you can't make that kind of movie." The old man was just busy taking care of his grandson, and now he started to eat, and he lowered his head and said.
"Your grandfather has been busy buying back the hero rights sold by Marvel recently, not counting the money for the acquisition of the company, he has already spent nearly 40 million US dollars, and the film companies of 20th Century Fox are darker than the other, and they will not let go without a high price. ”
"Don't worry, if you can't shoot it now, you should be able to do it later, and it will be too late to take it back then. ”
Han Xuan remembered that his grandfather bought back the movie rights of heroes such as Spider-Man and X-Men, and grinned: "Let's talk about it slowly over there, they have always had a good relationship with Marvel, if it weren't for them selling comic book peripheral products, those heroes wouldn't be as popular as they are now, Marvel also helped them make a lot of money, and the two companies complement each other, so they should be able to win Transformers." ”
"BY THE WAY, IT BROUGHT DOWN ANOTHER COMPANY CALLED TAKAYA-TOMY, I ASKED PEOPLE TO INVESTIGATE, THEY ARE THE JAPANESE TRANSFORMERS TOY PUBLISHER, AND THEY HAVE LAUNCHED AN ANIME WITH A TRANSFORMABLE ROBOT IN IT, AND I HEARD THAT IT IS ONE OF THE SOURCES OF INSPIRATION FOR THE CREATION OF TRANSFORMERS. ”
Regarding copyright issues, the United States has a very strict review, and Mr. Han reminded: "Don't get into a lawsuit when the movie is made." ”
"It's okay, when Transformers was recreated, one of Marvel's early editors was also involved, and even Spider-Man made a cameo in Transformers, although there was a bit of a Japanese shadow in the early days, but later, it had nothing to do with that Japanese company. ”
Han Xuan paused, and then said, "Besides, you don't have a team of lawyers, I'm afraid they won't come." ”
The career that his grandson interfered in, even if he was busy with official business, Mr. Han had been paying attention to it, and his understanding of this aspect may be more detailed than Han Xuan's, and he knew in his heart that there would be no big mess.
Said helplessly: "It's not easy for your grandfather to make money, don't you give him a pit, can't you eat it?" Go to the side to see if Jetton is okay, it's too late to rush back to the meeting now." ”
"En......"
Let a team of bodyguards escort the boy back to Beverly Hills, Old Man Han told them to pay attention to safety, got in the car and walked away first, and Han Xuan also got into the Mercedes Benz and went home.
Shortly after he left, several trucks loaded with large construction equipment drove up and workers came down to ask where the residential area was, and that their boy's grandfather had asked him to re-lay the sewers and water pipes.
It doesn't cost much, but you can have peace of mind.
……
Coming to the mansion halfway up the mountain in Beverly, Han Xuan was surprised to find that his grandmother was playing mahjong with several old European and American women in the living room, and she didn't even greet her grandson when she came back, and looked at the cards in her hand intently.
Thinking that the quintessence of the country is worthy of being the quintessence of the country, and the area of circulation is so wide, I can't help but feel very funny, so I don't let my grandmother be distracted, and go upstairs alone.
Lying on the bed and shaking his legs, he remembered that he hadn't contacted his parents since Los Angeles, and it should be almost dark on the Hawaiian Islands, so he simply picked up the phone and called them, but no one answered the sound for a long time, and he was bored in the room, so he continued to call the home of the Snow Mountain Ranch.
This time, someone quickly answered, and it was Joanna who was surrounded by many animal sounds.
Fat Ding meows non-stop, well, it's McDull, Pooh screams the loudest, accompanied by the sound of things breaking, BBQ is actually there, and he is scolding non-stop at the microphone.
Of course, the parrot didn't know what he meant, but Han Xuan could understand that Joanna couldn't stop laughing on the other end of the phone.
The boy's face was full of black lines, and he secretly thought that he had to discipline the macaws well when he went home, and he was slow to learn what to say hello, but he would learn these as soon as he learned them, and he was clearly a heart!
The exotic shorthair cat's meow is more resentful and resentful, and Han Xuan's unique language is not, Han Xuan had to comfort softly, saying that he would go home and take it to find his wife, and Fat Ding quieted down.
One by one, they took turns to "talk" for a long time, Totoro they couldn't bark, which was a bit of a loss, and the boy made a lot of promises, but fortunately a phone was inserted, and this ended the conversation with them.
"Dad, how are you doing? ”
Thinking that it was his parents calling back, Han Xuan asked loudly, not expecting the girl's laughter from the other side: "I'm not your father." ”
"Anya, why did you call me? ”
Mrs. Cecilia is a very eccentric person, she opposes the use of electrical equipment at home, except for the lighting used for lighting, there is not even a phone installed at home, so Han Xuan is so novel, the two have known each other for several years, and the number of phone calls can be counted on one hand.
"I'm in a public phone booth, don't bother me, five cents can only speak for two minutes. ”
Anya's crisp voice came out through the microphone: "I've been going out for a while recently, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it, so I'll tell you in advance." ”
"Where are you going?" Han Xuan turned over and leaned on the head of the bed, and the mobile phone prompted another call to dial in, this time it should be his parents, pretending not to hear, and asked, "Are you going with your mother?"
"Well, I went to an art exhibition with her, and I painted a few oil paintings that felt good during this time, and I wanted people to help comment on them. ”
The girl spoke with a soft smile: "At the San Francisco Museum of Art in California, my mother's special exhibition is on display~"
"When are you going to the old ......"
Han Xuan looked at the phone, there was only the sound of being hung up, and he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed helplessly, supporting his chin with his hand.
Soon the phone rang, and I grabbed it and connected it.
"Son, what's the matter?"
"Smack!"
Far away on the beach of Kauai in the Pacific Ocean.
"What did the son say?" asked the boy's mother.
Han Qianshan touched his nose: "It's nothing, I was hung up." ”
"Little bunny, didn't you answer his call, as for it?"
