A hotel in the Columbia area, outside room 202, Lester walked here, confirmed the room number to the assistant, and reached out to ring the doorbell.

"Click!"

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit motioned inside: Please come in.

In the living room, Michael Eisner sat on the couch reading the newspaper, and in one of the headlines on the front page was written the praise of Beauty and the Beast in the past few days.

Lester and his assistant walked in, and Michael Eisner put down the newspaper in his hand and got up to greet Lester: "Mr. Lester, the movie is good." ”

"It's an honor to receive your compliments. Lester shook hands with Michael Eisner.

The two sat down, and Lester asked curiously, "Mr. Michael Eisner, how did you have time to attend the premiere of Beauty and the Beast".

Michael Eisner picked up the newspaper and shook it: "I was attracted to this." ”

"Beauty and the Beast news. ”

Lester was thoughtful, and he never believed that the CEO and executive director of Disney would come over because of a good movie.

"It's not going to be some reporter who asks you that we're copying your Beauty and the Beast!" Lester said meaningfully;

"No, no, we at Disney just have the idea for Beauty and the Beast, but we don't have the first draft of the script. Michael Eisner shook his head with a smile.

Asuka Films' ability to shoot an animated film of "Beauty and the Beast" surprised Disney insiders, who had always been prepared, and thought of the company's internal meetings, and he came with a purpose this time.

Michael Eisner began to talk to Lester, talking about the movie without moving, using the meaning of the words to find out about the movie.

The hidden information of the other party made Lester secretly curse Michael Eisner for his cunning.

After chatting, Lester said straightforwardly: "I don't know what Mr. Michael Eisner is doing with me this time, you can't be a busy person who comes to Columbia, South America to watch a movie from another film company." ”

Seeing Lester talking, Michael Eisner did not hide: "I want to cooperate with you, or ...... Work with your company. ”

Lester raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly, "Can you tell me about the specific situation." ”

"The release of Beauty and the Beast. Michael Eisner's words surprised Lester: "You should know that Beauty and the Beast will be released nationwide in three days, and it's too late to say now." ”

"It's not too late, two days is enough time to copy a lot of films, and you definitely need other companies to handle the peripherals of "Beauty and the Beast", and Disney can do it. Michael Eisner's words took Lester by surprise.

The other party's words are not unreasonable, "Beauty and the Beast" is not like other movies, it has a lot of value to be explored, and there are some areas that Asuka Film and Television can't get into now.

There were some areas in the development of Beauty and the Beast where it took to work with other companies to get the most out of the film.

From TV series and movie DVDs to original albums and peripheral toys, as well as stage plays, everything to make money can be perfunctory from Beauty and the Beast.

Michael Eisner's tone was as if he had already investigated, full of confidence, in fact, when the other party said that he would cooperate with Beauty and the Beast, Lester had a clear direction in mind.

However, cooperating with each other, like seeking skin with a tiger, although Disney has not yet reached the world's attention in the 80s, it is still a behemoth in front of Flying Bird Films.

Lester did not refuse, and speculated without moving: "You can talk about how to cooperate." And how to develop. ”

Michael Eisner knew what Lester was worried about, and took out a contract from his assistant and put it in front of Lester: You can take a look, and if you feel that something is wrong, you can give your opinion.

"It's in half, but Disney and Asuka Pictures jointly develop things like perfunctory dramas and toys around Beauty and the Beast. ”

Leicester had some surprises that the contract did not mention a domineering share and cooperation, but became two companies split half, and it seems that Disney is very optimistic about "Beauty and the Beast".

Michael Eisner picked up a glass of water and drank it, without disturbing Lester.

Looking at the conditions and shares written in the contract, Lester said in his heart that it was false if he was not impressed, as long as he agreed to what was written in the contract, Disney could help complete some areas that Bird Film and Television could not set foot in.

With the efforts of Tang Reed for a year, the distribution channels in some places overseas have been basically completed, but there are still some places where they have not been negotiated due to religious beliefs and political differences, and Disney, a film company with a long history, has their perfect distribution channels all over the world.

"Mr. Michael Eisner, I can't refuse your contract. Leicester read the contract and put it on the table, looking helpless.

Disney is eating the idiots of other aspects of Asuka Film and Television, and agreed to cooperate with the two.

Hearing Lester's words, Michael Eisner smiled, handed over the contract to the assistant, and said something else: "I hope that the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" will also be distributed by the two companies, and the share will be the same as in the contract. ”

"You guys have a big appetite. Lester was a little speechless;

For the two important films of Asuka Film and Television, Disney took a fancy to their commercial value, but the other party negotiated with idiots in some fields of Asuka Film and Television with sincerity.

Michael Eisner looked at Lester with a sly look in his eyes, but with a smile.

"Yes. Lester nodded, then offered his opinion: "I hope that after Beauty and the Beast is big or successful, Disney will be able to help us launch the stage show of Beauty and the Beast." ”

This is one of Leicester's most important commercial values, and if the stage play of "Beauty and the Beast" were to tour the world, the box office would probably be on par with the box office of the movie, or even more so.

But Bird Film and Television has worked with Broadway in North America, but it has no clue about places outside North America, like an idiot.

"Stage play. Michael Eisner was stunned and said for some reason: "You also plan to make Beauty and the Beast a stage play." ”

Lester's words surprised him a little, Disney's internal association with Asuka Film and Television was cooperating, but he didn't expect the stage play at all, and the contract didn't mention it.

When it comes to stage plays, Michael Eisner nods in agreement: "We can help you start the stage play, but ...... You know. ”

Lester knew what the lunch was not in vain, and he also knew that the box office of the stage play Leicester also agreed to give them a share, but it was the least share.

Michael Eisner didn't care much about the box office side of the stage show either, and agreed to help launch the stage show of Beauty and the Beast.

Lester breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the answer, Michael Eisner had obviously not noticed the value of "Beauty and the Beast" as a stage play, and only took a three-percent share.
