"Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Wonderland", even if they invest $100 million per film, they can't support the domestic box office alone, and even if they add overseas box office, it is not easy to recover the investment cost. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mai Xiaoyu didn't plan to make a Chinese-language film from the beginning, just to attract Disney into the urn.

But Disney has a lot of money, and people definitely can't look at cute movies and television. Even in order to expand the Chinese market, if you choose a partner in Huaxia, you will choose between the big and the cheap.

had no choice, Mai Xiaoyu had to find another way and buy the Chinese adaptation rights of the two films first.

Long before Shi Hao contacted Disney Pictures and conveyed the plan of Mengren, Liu Junhao had already spread the news in the United States that "Mengren Film and Television wants to shoot the Chinese version of "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Wonderland", and plans to invite Hollywood big-name stars to join.

The American people are gone!

Think about "This Man is from Earth", which is still being released.

The script written by the Chinese people, invested and filmed by the Huaxia Film Company, starring American actors, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million!

Now, that damn Huaxia film company is eyeing the famous Western fairy tales "Alice in Wonderland" and "Adventures in Oz" again, and is also preparing to invite Hollywood big-name stars to star......

If the Orientals succeed, how much will they sweep away from the United States?

Besides, these two fairy tales have long been put on the big screen by Hollywood, so why should they be filmed by Huaxia Film Company from the East now?

Do they understand?

Can they shoot it well?

Will it ruin the original work?

What if it's done...... That's even more terrifying!

The American people also have a strong sense of national pride, so some people called for a strict investigation of whether Mengren Film and Television has obtained the authorization of two films, and whether their behavior involves infringement!

The first to adapt "Adventures in the Land of Oz" into "The Wizard of Oz" on the big screen was MGM Pictures in the United States. But the rights to this classic film are now owned by Warner Bros.

In other words, Warner Bros. Pictures owns the rights to the Wizard of Oz movie.

They took the lead in stating that they did not authorize cute film and television.

The eyes of the American public are focused on Disney.

The copyright of "Alice in Wonderland" is in the hands of Disney, and the copyright of the original novel of "Adventures in the Land of Oz" is also in the hands of Disney.

It was through them that Mengren Film and Television bought the Chinese adaptation rights after paying a high copyright fee.

When it was first sold, there was no cute "This Man is from Earth", but now it ...... Disney regretted it. rejected Shi Hao, and asked Shi Hao to tell the cute people, because the cute people breached the contract, which had a very bad impact on Disney, and Disney wanted to contact the contract and withdraw the authorization.

But Disney's words didn't die, and left a little tone.

"If Disney really wants to contact the contract, they don't need to let Mr. Shi pass the word, saying that if I go to the United States for an interview in person and show enough sincerity, they can't consider continuing to cooperate."

Mai Xiaoyu smiled and answered Mr. Li's question.

"Don't think too simply, American companies are not easy to deal with." Ye Xin reminded, "A big company like Disney can accidentally leave you with no scum." ”

"So I need your help."

is still limited by the level of his position and the level of contact, dealing with Disney, Mai Xiaoyu can stand in front and open an opening, but he can't do follow-up work, and neither can Liu Xiaoli.

The follow-up work is not three or five people, it takes a week or two to finalize, and the experienced negotiation team of Denima has to show enough weight, and after a long period of see-saw negotiations, stubborn details, careful contract traps and word games, can finally be settled.

Limited by its own scale and influence, Meng Ren is at a disadvantage in the face of Disney at the negotiating table. In addition, at this level of negotiation, the other party is a foreign company like Disney, which lacks cute people and experience.

The other seven shareholders understood what Mai Xiaoyu meant and were also very interested in this cooperation.

Walt Disney Kingdom has a very wide range of businesses and huge businesses, and film and television production is only a small part of it. A considerable part of its business intersects with the business of seven other companies, and there is the possibility of cooperation.

Taking Disney theme parks as an example, once the decision is made to establish a Disney park in the East China Sea, it will drive a large number of related industries and bring a lot of investment opportunities. However, there are too many related households, local snakes, and capital predators staring at these opportunities, and they may not be able to take their turn.

But cooperating with Disney Studios will help them successfully break the ice and show their talents in the future, whether they can get through the relationship, to which level of the relationship, and how much benefit they can get, it depends on their own ability.

It may also fail, but at least it's an opportunity, so why not give it a try?

The things at the capital level are too cumbersome, and Mai Xiaoyu doesn't know a lot about it, and he doesn't care about it. But he knew that the other seven must be concerned, because Liu Junhao, who knew about the plan first, was very interested.

Zhu Zeyuan pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "What is the sincerity of Disney's request?" What is the investment ratio? ”

"The investment ratio is the point of contention in the later negotiation process, and the sincerity they want now is the script, especially the book of "The Wizard of Wonderland".

"Why?"

"Because they have the copyright to the original book of "Adventures in the Land of Oz", and the copyright of the movie "The Wizard of Oz" is in the hands of Warner. At the beginning, they were willing to sell me the Chinese adaptation rights, in addition to the price factor, I guess they also wanted me to explore the thunder. ”

Due to the lack of authorization from Warner, the film adapted by Moe must be careful to avoid the copyright of "The Wizard of Oz", and the script adaptation is extremely difficult.

For example, the hairstyles and costumes of the characters in the adapted film can't be too close to "The Wizard of Oz", otherwise you will be waiting for a lawsuit!

I haven't seen Disney get the copyright of the original book for many years, and it has not been easy to adapt the movie, and a few years ago, he took the initiative to cooperate with Warner to shoot, but was rejected by Warner.

Mr. Li suddenly asked: "In other words, you have expected Disney's reaction?" ”

"Yes."

"Then you lied to us before!"

"Because I'm not completely sure."

This is the scene of the words, the real answer is that these lambs have sharp teeth, and Mai Xiaoyu must add his own mystery to protect his own interests.

Thinking about the fact that in August, Liu Junhao wanted to forcibly buy shares, it is not difficult to understand.

The crowd was silent.

For such a big matter, except for Liu Junhao who knew the inside story early and did his homework, everyone else needed time to think about it.

Mai Xiaoyu coughed lightly and said, "There is plenty of time, you can think about it slowly, and give me an answer within a week." One thing I must make clear first, these two movies, our company's artist Liu Yifei, that is, my sister Sissi, must be the starring role. ”
