Chapter 41: Hasbro
In the presidential suite of a hotel in Tokyo, the bright morning light shines on the bedroom.
Sand, sand, sand.
The sound of a pencil rubbing against A4 paper sounded in the bedroom, and Lester held the pen on the A4 paper, scribbling and redrawing the story version of "Chaplin" in the storyboard.
Nothing happened, Lester drew a storyboard version of the script of "Chaplin" written the day before yesterday, and drew and changed it with a frown.
The old movies made Lester not remember all the plots, and if he found something wrong, he changed it, and drew the storyboard of the "Chaplin" script bit by bit.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door, and Lester said without stopping his hand and raising his head: Come in.
Emmanuel walked into the bedroom with a portable cellular phone (Big Brother) and saw Lester still drawing a storyboard, saying, "Hasbro called, and their CEO, Hassenfeld, made an appointment to meet us in room 302 of this hotel. ”
"Here it is" ... Lester put down his pen, put the half-drawn story of "The Legend of Chaplin" into a black leather bag, got up and put on a suit quickly, and walked outside: Go meet Hasbro's Hasenfield.
Walking out of the bedroom, Fields and Bjaridos were dressed in formal clothes, and after waiting for a long time, several people followed Lester out of the presidential suite and came to the outside of room 302.
Lester silently prepared what he was about to say, reached out and rang the doorbell, and the four of them waited for the person inside to open the door.
In dozens of seconds, the door was opened, and the assistant in a suit looked at it and asked, "You are from Asuka Film and Television." ”
Emmanuel pointed to Lester and said, "This is the boss of Flying Bird Films, and your CEO Hasenfeld has made an appointment with us." ”
"Please come in," the assistant got the correct identity he wanted to know, stood aside, and said politely, "Mr. Hasenfield is already waiting inside!"
Walking into room 302, you will see the living room, where young Husenfield sits on the couch and sipps coffee, surrounded by his team.
Hasbro is now managed by the young Halsenfeld and his older brother Stephen, who served as president of Hasbro in the '70s, and Hassenfeld is in charge of expanding the market internationally, and last year's special forces toys returned to the market and brought the company a huge profit.
RBTAKARA Toy Factory's transformable robot prototype alloy cars and airplanes, so that the young and vigorous Hassenfeld found the business opportunity to transform inside, if the whole chain is released together, it will bring rare profits to the company, and immediately brought people to the TAKARA toy factory, in order to buy the creative rights of the prototype alloy cars and airplanes that can be turned into robots.
Hasbro, as a top company in the toy manufacturing circle, came to RB to buy the creative rights of the prototype alloy car and airplane that can be turned into robots, and naturally could not escape the eyes of some reporters specializing in toy manufacturing, which was announced, making other toy manufacturing insiders look at Halsenfeld's eyes with skepticism, feeling that he was blinded by the high profits of the special forces who returned to the market.
In order to make those people have big iron glasses, Hassenfeld came to the RBTAKARA toy factory ambitiously, but was told that in addition to the toy and animation adaptation rights, the toy story adaptation of comics and movies was bought by Asuka Films.
Hasenfield bought the rights to the toy and animation adaptation, and in order to make a profit from the cars, planes, and robots in his hands, he quickly asked Satoh (Sato), where does Asuka Film and Television live in RB now, and he also wants to know, like him, who is staring at this chain. Given the address, Hasenfeld instructed his assistant to call Emmanuel's cellphone, who had left the number, and the next day he led the men to Leicester's place.
"He is the boss of Asuka Film and Television who is one step ahead. ”
Husenfield looked at Lester who took the lead in walking, and looked at the steps of several people, knowing that Lester was the boss of Bird Film and Television, and was slightly surprised by the other party's excessive age, a little disdainful, got up without revealing his face, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Lester, it's really famous." ”
The familiar tone, like a good friend with Lester, made Biasdonis look surprised and believed that he knew Lester.
Lester, who was reincarnated, smiled and hugged each other with Husenfield, for his words, Lester saw through Husenfeld's pretense at a glance, and the fake Lester praised Husenfield's Ji, the first time they met, they regarded themselves as friends, and won the favor of others, which shows the other party's business methods, worthy of being the CEO of a large company.
"Sit,''
The two parties politely sat down on the sofa, the corners of Lester's mouth curled, and he smiled appropriately, and asked knowingly: "I don't know what Mr. Husenfield is looking for me." ”
That smile seemed to Husenfield to be a fox-like smile, and he gave a position in his heart: "This is a person who can't look at age, and he has less contempt for Lester in his heart, and more dignified in his heart, and originally opened his mouth to buy the film and comic book adaptation rights of "Transformers", but blurted out that he said: "I want to work with you to develop this kind of deformable car and airplane robot." ”
Halsenfeld's words made Hasenfeld stunned himself, but he didn't take it back, and looked at Lester, hoping that he would agree.
Such straightforward words made Lester almost think that Husenfield was arranging him, and when he saw the sincerity of cooperation in Hasenfield's eyes, he believed that he didn't want to dig a hole for him at the beginning, and said: "I also have this intention, in addition to this, I also want the toys of our Asuka Comics Studio's work "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to be produced and sold in your company, what do you think." ”
Halsenfield's face trembled, his eyes widened, and he said in shock: ""Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is your work. ”
Busy with "Transformers" these days, Hasenfield has naturally heard of the popular comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the United States, and he doesn't know which company published it.
Right!
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lester knew that the matter was done, and no toy manufacturer would let go of the toy development of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", so he said again;
Now receiving an unexpected cooperation, Hassenfield's eyes are hot, and the ambition that was originally missed by Lester poaching the film rights and comic rights of "Transformers" is filled again, rubbing his hands and saying: "How to calculate the price." ”
Let my agent Emmanuel talk to you!'' Lester stepped back, and Emmanuel began to negotiate a division and partnership with the Lordenfeld men.
Up to 30 minutes of conversation. Asuka Film and Television was able to get the development price of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to share %20, and the toy was won by Hasbro.
This is the character model, our Asuka comics are named "Transformers", you don't need to research and produce it in Fei Duo's brain, Lester took out the character model of "Transformers" from the black air leather bag and put it in front of Hasenfeld and said:
God! Hassenfeld picked up the character model drawings of "Transformers" with some exclamation, looked at them one by one, and said with a shocked expression after reading them: "It's really unbelievable, it's too powerful and domineering." ”
Hassenfeld was a little incredulous that Lester was so well prepared, and even the character model was made, and after reading it, he found that this was the transformer car and airplane robot he wanted, not RB, a transformation robot that combines Macross and Gundam operated by people, it seems that Asuka Film and Television had already designed the character model of "Transformers" before buying the copyright.
"How much do I need to pay for the character model design," Husenfield was thrilled after reading the character model of "Transformers", knowing that he still needed to pay the character model to get the characters of Megatron depicted in the drawings, and said directly: "Let's make a price!"
Emmanuel hurriedly negotiated for Lester, and finally the two parties reached an agreement to jointly develop toys for "Transformers" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Cooperation! Only by cooperating with others can Leicester have one more friend and one more path.
Leaving the 302 room, Lester receives a call from the company and is told that the director and the main characters of "Wall Street" are ready.
