"Thanks to Sony for your help. Zhang Fan, who was originally cold-faced, once again showed his superb acting skills, and nodded with a smile, "When Frozen passes the review of the classification committee and gets the G-level release standard, we can sign a cooperation agreement directly on the Hulk series of movies." ”

"What a cunning!" a look of surprise flashed in Hirai's eyes. It is really very rare for Zhang Fan in front of him to be so young but able to do things so sophisticated.

Zhang Fan This is a typical example of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, and he will never give benefits until Sony finishes things. This is also to prevent the Japanese from turning around and selling themselves after receiving the benefits. After all, the Japanese don't do this kind of thing less.

"Please Mr. Zhang believe in our strength. Kazuo Hirai stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhang Fan, "We're Sony Columbia Pictures!"

Zhang Fan also stood up, and calmly held Kazuo Hirai's hand, "Happy cooperation." ”

In Kazuo Hirai's view, the Hulk as a superhero movie is much more important than the frozen that came out of the rush.

After all, at this time, superhero movies are about to be the rhythm of everyone, and everyone in the industry can come out. The first Iron Man film was able to sell more than one billion dollars at the box office, which shows that superhero movies will become a torrent in the future. At this time, it is great news to be able to get the distribution right from Zhang Fan's hands. Kazuo Hirai even began to fantasize about the scene where the Hulk was a big hit and detonated the box office market.

As for Zhang Fan's animated film that vainly attempts to challenge Disney, the animation kingdom, Kazuo Hirai is not optimistic at all.

Japan itself is a big country in the animation industry, and they are relatively familiar with this industry.

Disney, which has been making cartoons all his life, dare not say that his cartoons can sell a billion-dollar box office, let alone Zhang Fan, a newcomer who has just entered the film industry for less than two years.

How many movies in the world can grossing more than a billion dollars? How could a person who doesn't know anything about animated films be able to make it by any company? Kazuo Hirai even laughed at Disney for making too much fuss. It's simply not going to happen.

Even, Kazuo Hirai began to think about it in his heart. Once Zhang Fan's bet with Disney failed, he had to leave Hollywood. How can I get those eye-catching superhero copyrights from him?

In fact, compared to helping Zhang Fan defeat Disney and separate Pixar from Disney, it dealt a heavy blow to Disney. What Kazuo Hirai wants more is to see Zhang Fan fail and have to leave Hollywood.

In addition to the instinctive reluctance to let the Chinese appear in Hollywood, this idea is still for the Japanese to continue to operate in Hollywood as representatives of the yellow race. More importantly, for the sake of profit.

You can fight Disney at any time, after all, there are always omissions in the great business of Disney. The popularity of superhero movies is a rare opportunity, but the best superheroes are in Zhang Fan's hands at this time. This represents an immensely great benefit!

Sony is not alone. Several other studios have this idea. But in the end, they all had to give up.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because Zhang Fan and Disney agreed that once his cartoon fails, many of the best-selling adaptation rights in Zhang Fan's hands will be handed over to Disney. That's a real boost for Disney! Sony: They can't say anything and see their competitors go from strength to strength again.

What's more, even if Zhang Fan really wants to leave and transfer the superhero copyright in his hand, it is not necessarily for Sony! Hollywood has seven giants, and each of them wants to get the movie adaptation rights of these superheroes. Each of them has only a 1 in 7 chance. In such a situation, no one would risk making their competitors strong for the sake of a 1 in 7 chance.

Therefore, Kazuo Hirai's plan is to help Zhang Fan as much as possible first and leave a good impression on him. At the same time, he gnawed a bone first and got the distribution rights of the Hulk series of movies. Later, when Zhang Fan lost the agreement with Disney, in Hirai Kazuo's opinion, Zhang Fan had no hope of winning at all, and he didn't understand what Disney was nervous about. After Zhang Fan loses, he will try his best to get the movie adaptation rights of the superheroes from Zhang Fan's hands!

After leaving Sony, Zhang Fan went on to visit several other film companies except Disney.

Although Zhang Fan was put under pressure on the film classification, these companies still received him very solemnly when Zhang Fan visited.

Zhang Fan did not give any benefits this time, but said that the animated film he agreed with Disney was about to be released, and he hoped that several companies would help.

Zhang Fan's animated films were little of a threat to several other studios, as none of them had films of the same genre released during this time. And Disney has always been the leader in animated films, and Zhang Fan's goal is also very clear.

What's more, once Zhang Fan loses the agreement, he will hand over the adaptation rights in his hands to Disney. In terms of Zhang Fan's current best-selling level, this is simply an infinite booster for Disney. This is something that several other film companies don't want to see.

In addition to not caring about themselves, and not wanting Disney to grow bigger. Several other studios are also in the same mood as Sony. Now sell Zhang Fan well, maybe when Zhang Fan loses the bet and leaves Hollywood, he will hand over the adaptation rights of those superheroes to himself!

Scarlett was shocked, very, very shocked.

Zhang Fan just went out to visit a few movie giants, but the strong pressure on Zhang Fan in Hollywood seemed to disappear in an instant!

The entire atmosphere of public opinion has been completely reversed at this time. In addition to Disney's media, other media turned their guns at Disney at this time and spoke for Zhang Fan!

Although everyone thinks that Zhang Fan will not make his animated film a billion dollars at the box office, it is impossible to do it even secretly by using the means of buying box office. But what is absolutely wrong in this world? The United States and Britain, which were battered and bloodied during the War of Independence, are now as good as wearing a pair of pants, and what else is impossible to happen?

Compared with making Disney stronger, several other film companies hope that Zhang Fan can succeed and seriously weaken Disney!

In their opinion, even if Zhang Fan gets Pixar to die, it is just to the extent of Disney. Its threat is much smaller than that of Disney, which has obtained the copyright of many of Zhang Fan's works.

After coming to this conclusion, those controlled media naturally began to say good things about Zhang Fan and began to build momentum for Zhang Fan's animated films!

And that's what makes Scarlett feel unbelievable. The man who had a fish and water relationship with her was actually strong enough to be able to fight Disney!

It has spread all over Hollywood, and it is naturally impossible for Disney not to know.

"These bastards don't have the slightest credit at all!" a Disney executive was furious in the conference room of Disney's headquarters.

The news of Zhang Fan's settlement with several major companies has already reached Disney's ears, and now the executives of these companies are gathering in this conference room to discuss how to respond.

"This is Hollywood, is it the wrong place to talk about credit here?" soon someone responded in a voice.

"We both work with and compete with several other companies. Clun knocked on the table in front of him to attract everyone's attention, "There is nothing they can't do if it's profitable." ”

There is one thing that Crawn has in his heart that he doesn't say, and that is that so is Disney. Only this time the target is themselves.

"What should we do now?" the chairman of the board of directors spoke, and the conference room, which had been a bit of a mess, finally fell silent.

"The most important thing for us now is to stop Zhang Fan. Clouen spoke again, "This matter is the most important thing for Disney in recent times." It is about the ownership of Pixar, as well as the adaptation rights of Zhang Fan's many best-sellers. Even Mr. Walt Disney has been an unshakable figure in the field of animation for many years. It all depends on Zhang Fan's animated film. ”

"We've reached out to several other companies. A senior executive explained loudly, "Sony, Warner, Universal, they all said that Zhang Fan's animated film does not have any inappropriate plots, and it is a normal choice to be rated as G." ”

Although Disney, like most people around the world, is extremely confident in this agreement. However, as a businessman, you must respond to this kind of thing.

Disney has previously said that several major companies have worked together to put pressure on Zhang Fan and use the classification committee to crack down on Zhang Fan's films. Hulk is a successful operation.

It's just that no one expected Zhang Fan's reaction to be so fast, and he was able to betray all the other allies who were temporarily standing together in such a short period of time. Now six of the seven giants have reached an agreement, and even Disney has no way to do it.

Crawn sighed deeply.

When the company decided to use the classification committee to crack down on Zhang Fan, Clone persuaded him. is not to dissuade Zhang Fan from using this method, but to persuade not to use it on the Hulk, and wait until Zhang Fan's movie is released before the sudden attack to lay the victory!

However, the company is too confident.

Disney believes in its immense influence in Hollywood, and believes that it is far from something that a newcomer to the country can contend with. In order to attack Zhang Fan in an all-round way, they directly used the weapon of the classification committee on the Hulk.

In the eyes of those company executives, it is not difficult for Disney to deal with Zhang Fan's cartoon that can deal with Hulk.

But Clun knows that although Disney is powerful, it will never be the opponent of the word profit!
