Zhang Fan leaned on the recliner with Black Widow's waist in Iron Man's mansion, and was in close contact with the beautiful sunset. There is a heated debate going on at Disney headquarters.

"It's a complete joke, we're Disney, there's no need to make any agreement with Zhang Fan!"

"That can't be said, all the media are reporting on it right now. If we hold back, it will mean a heavy blow to our reputation. ”

"What does this have to do with Disney's reputation?"

"How did you get into this conference room? Zhang Fan said that we can't make excellent animated films! Let's give way! Disney came from making animated films, and if we don't react in any way, it will be tantamount to admitting his statement! This is an unbearable blow to Disney!"

"Even if he has a bad reputation, what's the matter? I don't understand how he can influence us?"

"You're such an idiot! Our stock price will be dragged down dramatically!"

What is most important to a listed company? Of course, it is its own stock price. Because the value of a listed company is almost entirely reflected in the share price. Once the stock price falls, it will be a heavy blow to any listed company.

The people in the conference room are talking about the company's senior management and shareholders, and it is naturally impossible for them to watch their wealth shrink.

For these shareholders, every dollar drop in the stock price means a large amount of wealth evaporating out of thin air. This is absolutely intolerable in the United States, where money is valued as life.

"I want to remind you. As a high-level executive, Clouen spoke out at this time, "Once the agreement proposed by Zhang Fan is really realized, it will be two heavy blows to Disney." ”

Everyone in the room looked at Cloun, waiting for his next explanation: "The first is that the blow to the stock price will hit the confidence of investors hard, and the stock price will plummet." As for the second one, we are going to lose Pixar. ”

The room quickly fell silent, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

Because once Zhang Fan wins this agreement, Disney will be hit hard!

"Why is this guy targeting us?!" a board member slapped the table hard.

In their opinion, this matter was completely made up by Zhang Fan out of nothing. If Zhang Fan hadn't accused Disney indiscriminately in the media, they wouldn't have fought back, let alone the current thing that is difficult to ride. You must know that they have already responded before, and they also took the initiative to ask for a formal agreement with Zhang Fan. At this time, if they regret it, the blow to the stock price and reputation is even more serious than losing directly!

Disney's shareholders are outraged. If Zhang Fan is just an ordinary actor or director, then Disney can make it difficult for Zhang Fan to move an inch in Hollywood! Unfortunately, Zhang Fan is a boss with his own company and a great reputation. Even Disney can't go to the whole Zhang Fan at this time.

"Crown. The chairman of the board of directors looked at Clounn, "You have a lot of contact with Zhang Fan, what do you think about this matter, and what does he want to do?"

"A very important purpose for Zhang Fan to do this is to promote his upcoming movie. Clun nodded in response, "I have to say that he did a good job in this matter, after this period of time, we and Zhang Fan in the media-for-tat, and now his movie has attracted a lot of attention!"

"This guy actually dares to use our Disney as a stepping stone!" someone snorted in dissatisfaction. You know, Disney is a large company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

However, it is precisely the market capitalization of tens of billions of dollars that causes Disney to attach great importance to commercialization, after all, they are now listed companies and value the stock price the most. This made Disney lose its magic in the field of animation, and thus transformed from an animation kingdom into a commercial group.

"And what?" the chairman of the board of directors continued, asking, "what else could make his movie box office higher?"

"Although it sounds like a ridiculous joke. Clouen smiled wryly, "I feel like he's plotting Pixar!"

"What?!"

"What are you kidding?"

"Crazy, huh?"

"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"

Many shareholders in the conference room were all clamoring, Zhang Fan actually had the idea of plotting Pixar?!

None of the people who were able to enter this room were real fools. They all know that the core of Disney's ongoing animated films is Pixar. After buying Pixar, they could no longer let go of this extremely important subsidiary for Disney in any way.

"Although it feels incredible. Clounn waited until the noise had subsided before he continued to speak, "But I think this may be the only chance that Zhang Fan can get Pixar from us." ”

Crawn's reasoning was not wrong. If Zhang Fan wants to win Disney, the first thing to do is to weaken Disney. A powerful, tens of billions of dollars worth Disney is too hard to eat.

And even if Zhang Fan can shell out tens of billions of dollars, Disney's shareholders will not sell him. If you want to win Disney, you can only have a chance if you make him worthless. For Disney, Pixar's importance is unmatched.

If it were to go the normal way, Disney would not have been able to sell Pixar. No matter how much money Zhang Fan pays, he can't do it. Only now is it possible to use the way of gambling to get it.

"The situation now is that Zhang Fan gave us a situation that looked like we would definitely win, forcing us to agree to a bet with him. Crawn continued: "Because if we refuse, it will mean a drop in the stock price and a loss of reputation." It's something Disney can't refuse. And then he had the opportunity to snatch Pixar out of our hands in this way. ”

"In other words, we must accept it now?" the chairman of the board of directors frowned.

"Yes, it must be accepted. Clone nodded with a serious expression, "Unless we can accept the result of the stock price falling." ”

"Is it possible for him to win?" someone couldn't help but ask, "a billion dollars at the box office." We can't even do it ourselves, how can he do it?"

"Who knows?" repeated Clounn with his hands outstretched, "who knows." ”

"Does he have that much money?" said someone in disbelief, "where did he get the billions of dollars?"

"If Zhang Fan can sell all the adaptation rights of his works at a high price. Clone nodded in response, "And if every movie he makes is going to be a big hit, maybe there will be some chances." ”

"Since you can't refuse, then promise him. After a moment of contemplation, the chairman of the board finally made a decision, "but he will have to pay a relative price." ”

"We can accept his terms. But he's going to get his best-selling movie adaptations in exchange for reciprocity. The chairman of the board of directors said the request, "In addition to this, there should be a corresponding time limit." If he doesn't do it within the time limit, then he fails. And even if he wins, he will have to pay at least five billion dollars if he wants to take Pixar!"

Disney has a lot of talent, and the conditions offered are also very effective. Zhang Fan's adaptation rights to many best-selling movies have risen rapidly as his sales continue to rise. If the film adaptation rights can be obtained in this way, it will be like a benefit for Disney.

The people in the conference room were excited, as if they had won and Zhang Fan was discussing how to shoot these works that were bound to be big hits. You must know that if it is according to normal circumstances, the film adaptation rights of Zhang Fan's works are worth at least billions of dollars!

As for Pixar's acquisition price, although Disney does not believe that Zhang Fan will be able to make a billion-dollar animated film at the box office, the price of $5 billion is already one billion more than when it was acquired. No matter how you look at it, Disney has taken advantage.

watched the surrounding parties discussing how to shoot the adaptation of Zhang Fan's work, and even discussing who to find to shoot and who to star. Clone sighed to himself.

These people all thought that Zhang Fan would definitely lose, but they never thought about whether Zhang Fan would have a chance to win! Once Zhang Fan won, what kind of blow would it be to Disney! Disney, which has lost Pixar, is a completely commercial company, so is it still Disney?

As a negotiator, Clouen consulted with Zhang Fan again, and after a tug-of-war back and forth, the two sides finally agreed. Zhang Fan will make a film that grosses more than a billion dollars worldwide in two years. If Zhang Fan succeeds, Disney will transfer Pixar to Zhang Fan for $3 billion.

If Zhang Fan fails, he will transfer the film adaptation rights of many works, including Harry Potter, to Disney for free. At the same time, Zhang Fan himself will leave Hollywood and never come back!

This agreement was formally signed under the notarization of PwC's lawyers, and the signing guarantee was made. In the event of a breach of contract by either party, a sky-high penalty will be paid. This is not a verbal agreement, but a formal contract document signed in the United States, which attaches great importance to contracts! No one dares to play a breach of contract under such conditions.

The news was soon released to the public, and various media outlets frantically reprinted it. In an instant, it became the biggest hot topic at the moment.

Countless people are discussing this agreement, and most of them think that Zhang Fan is crazy. Or Zhang Fan has achieved some ulterior purpose with Disney in private, so he will transfer the adaptation rights of many works in his hand to Disney for free through this impossible agreement.

In the eyes of most people, it is impossible for Zhang Fan to do this kind of thing. That's a billion dollars at the box office, no one in Hollywood has been able to do this kind of thing for many years, how can Zhang Fan, a foreigner who has just come to Hollywood, do it?!

Only a handful of people say that Zhang Fan is not a fool. Since he dared to put forward such a condition that was completely unfavorable to him, he must have been fully prepared. As for what kind of preparation it is, we will not know until Zhang Fan's work comes out.

In this situation of countless people's attention, Zhang Fan's second movie, Iron Man, officially began to be released on a large scale under the expectation of everyone!
