A week is plenty of time for several other shareholders of Hualong Pictures to make decisions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Mr. Li, who often questions Mai Xiaoyu and thinks that he controls the right to speak in Hualong Pictures, agreed without objection this time.

Without him, Interest.

If the negotiation is successful, the Hollywood blockbusters "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Wonderland" jointly created by Mengren, Hualong Pictures and Disney can achieve a satisfactory global box office, but for those capital predators, the opportunity to cooperate with Disney is even more rare, even if the box office fails, it doesn't matter.

Of course, in their opinion, even if Mai Xiaoyu raises the investment cost after the cooperation from 100 million US dollars per film to 200 million US dollars per film, the possibility of box office failure is very small.

It's not because Disney intentionally intervened, but because Moe has never lost.

The negotiations were divided into two major phases.

The first stage is the most arduous and important, requiring Mak Xiaoyu to open the door in Disney Studios and establish the possibility of follow-up negotiations.

In order to ensure the success of Mai Xiaoyu's trip to the United States, the other seven can be said to have contributed a strong force.

Collect information about Disney, inquire about the progress of negotiations for the East China Sea Disney Theme Park, and arrange in advance for people familiar with relevant business in the United States to fly to the United States, gather, prepare, and run in at Hualong Pictures, just waiting for Mai Xiaoyu to arrive.

In these things, they are much more professional than Mai Xiaoyu, and soon Mai Xiaoyu received a lot of information. And the personnel sent over by the seven companies after consultation are also experienced elite-level talents.

Mai Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to go to the United States, he first called Chen Aijun from the relevant department.

In August, I pulled people's tiger skins to make a big flag, and I had to show it to some extent, so that if necessary, I would continue to pull the tiger skin to make a big flag.

"This is a normal business cooperation, why are you telling me this?"

"Last time it was also normal business practice. ”

"The last time you did business, there were some unstable tricks mixed in. ”

"Uh...... There may be one this time. ”

Now Chen Aijun became interested: "Let's talk about it." ”

"If the negotiations work out, I'm going to cast my sister, and the Yankees will definitely oppose it then, but she's an American citizen. ”

"Human rights!"

"People don't have human rights, I don't think about it that much. I just wanted to make a fuss about racial discrimination and make sure that my sister became the lead actor, well, by the way, it was also a promotion for the two films. ”

"You...... Lao Wang is right, you really don't follow the usual path. If you called me, did you want us to come forward and help you facilitate the cooperation with Disney?"

"You overestimate yourselves. To put it mildly, if you don't interfere, I'm 90% sure, and if you get involved, the matter will probably be over. ”

Normal business dealings, why do you engage in so many miscellaneous things?

Do you really think that the relevant departments in the United States are all eating dry food?

Mai Xiaoyu made this call to Chen Aijun, mainly to send a favor. Even if he doesn't say it now, when he does something in the United States in the future, people don't need to buy tickets if they want to get on the bus. It's better to sell personal favors in advance, so that you can continue to pull tiger skin in the future.

Everything was ready, and Mai Xiaoyu boarded a flight to the United States.

This time he went to Los Angeles with a lot of entourage.

On the cute side, he only brought his bodyguard Ke Haoyi, and originally had an assistant Yu Ping, but he was topped by EVA.

EVA is Lao Luo's secretary and personal bodyguard, on the one hand, he can play well, on the other hand, he has served as Lao Luo's secretary for many years, sorting out documents, handling paperwork, arranging life, etc.

And EVA people are beautiful, the aura is also relatively sufficient, in general, there are more functions, it is practical to take out, but also has a long face, and was arranged by Lao Luo to Mai Xiaoyu to serve as the secretary of his trip.

In addition to EVA, there is also Ye Chu.

Ye Chu has studied in the United States for many years and has a certain connection. Now operating the production of film and television special effects, he is an expert in this area, if Disney uses technical barriers to Ka Mai Xiaoyu, Ye Chu can play a role.

Regarding the kindness of Lao Luo and the Ye family, Mai Xiaoyu was speechless.

He doesn't need it now, not at all.

If EVA can still be regarded as having something to do and play some roles, Ye Chu is afraid that it will not be used at all - technical negotiations are the content of the second stage.

And no matter how he thinks about it, Ye Chu looks like he came to make soy sauce.

Let's listen to the key points that Ye Chu cares about.

"Mr. Mai, I have a girlfriend. ”

"Congratulations, with your Ye Dashao's conditions, the girl who wants to be your girlfriend can be ranked two miles. ”

"Those are all plays, and there will only be one true love. Although you snatched my Miss Liutao, I have to thank you for meeting her. ”

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

"Of course. If it weren't for your company's "Immortal 3", which helped me make my company famous, and many film and television crews asked us to be responsible for special effects production, I wouldn't know her. ”

"Well, I wish you a lover who will eventually become a family, and don't worry about my Liutao in the future. ”

"I still understand the truth that a friend's wife can't be bullied, and my girlfriend ...... When I come back, I will invite you to dinner, you remember to bring Miss Liutao, I will introduce her to you, you will be shocked to see her. ”

Mai Xiaoyu: "......"

The journey of more than ten hours was very smooth.

It's just that after arriving in the United States, Mai Xiaoyu just got off the plane and didn't leave the airport before he ran into trouble and was invited to the small black room at Los Angeles International Airport.

The little black room is just a reference, and it is not dark inside. With the ample light in the room, he could see the few FBI agents who were entertaining him.

"Mr. Mai, what is the purpose of your visit to the United States?"

"We need to check your luggage. ”

"How long are you going to stay?"

"Please cooperate with ......"

Cooperate?

With your hammer!

Mai Xiaoyu looked at the Yankees in front of him speechlessly, like an FBI agent facing a great enemy.

This is the side effect of "This Man is from Earth".

A few months ago, in order to hype up the movie, he remotely commanded through the phone and hired local black people in Los Angeles to take to the streets to demonstrate, which almost led to demonstrations everywhere in the United States.

Of course, this is not his credit, he does not have that much ability, it is too many people to squeeze into his boat, and they do not make up the tickets.

But in the eyes of the relevant American authorities, that incident showed that he was not alone, not alone.

That is, the CIA investigated for several months, but found no evidence that he had contact with the relevant foreign departments, so the FBI came forward and came to the airport to interrogate him in detail about the purpose of his trip.

Otherwise, he will either get off the plane and be arrested by the FBI, or he will be denied entry.

Mai Xiaoyu was silent, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat there quietly.

Across from him, two FBI agents locked their eyes on him, and two FBI agents held special instruments and carefully checked his salute one by one.

"Hey, what are you guys looking for?"

"Disney's invitation letter?"

"Business negotiations?"

"Oh shit, I almost forgot, he got a business visa!"

"Mr. Mak, we need to know what you negotiated with Disney. ”

"If you don't want to suffer, I suggest you better cooperate with us. ”

"His advice is good, otherwise you are likely to be denied entry or put in jail. ”

"I promise, you'll regret it. ”

……

Mai Xiaoyu raised his eyelids and said calmly: "I also give you a suggestion, you are now intimidating me, it is illegal." Once I will sue you, you will lose!"

The United States excludes Chinese and discriminates against Chinese Americans, and the social status of Chinese Americans is very low. Most of the targets of the U.S. police and the FBI's fishing and fishing enforcement are of Chinese descent.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary Chinese to withstand the threat of intimidation from the FBI, but Mai Xiaoyu is different. In addition to holding the invitation letter from Disney, Shi Hao, who came to pick up the airport, also found a lawyer as quickly as possible.

The lawyer's intervention became the last straw that crushed the FBI.

"You can go. ”

The FBI, who had found nothing, had no choice but to give in and let Mai Xiaoyu leave.

Mai Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to leave, and pointed to the salute that was turned into a mess: "Clean it up for me." ”

"What did you say!"

"I said, what my things were, what they are now!"

"Humph!"

"Okay, then we'll see you in court. Mai Xiaoyu magically took out a mobile phone and handed it to the lawyer next to him, "Look at the contents of it, can you sue them to go to jail." ”

The four FBI agents were stunned.

Just now they checked Mai Xiaoyu's body with professional instruments, there was no electronic equipment, Mai Xiaoyu's Yali mobile phone was placed on the table, why did he suddenly find a mobile phone from his body?

Where did this phone come from?

Well, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that just now they rudely checked Mai Xiaoyu's salute and intimidated Mai Xiaoyu's words, all of which were filmed by mobile phones!

U.S. law is very detailed and enforceable, and lawyers can play a very important role...... Of course, the most important thing is to have money.

Although Mai Xiaoyu is not an American, he has the money and can afford expensive lawyers, so he can hire a well-known American lawyer who specializes in this area. Even if the judge is biased towards the FBI, Mai Xiaoyu still has mobile phone videos and audio recordings as evidence, and if he really wants to fight a lawsuit, he has a great chance of winning.

And the FBI won't come out for the four agents, is it really P's?

The four FBI agents gritted their back molars and tidied up for Mai Xiaoyu without saying a word.

"You owe me an apology. ”

The four FBI agents were silent for a moment, and the leader said "I'm sorry", and Mai Xiaoyu left.

"Mr. Mai, what's going on?"

In addition to the airport, Ye Chu and others immediately surrounded and asked, but Mai Xiaoyu only said that it was a misunderstanding and did not say much.

Everyone was confused, and only Shi Hao vaguely guessed something.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Mai Xiaoyu first took a day off to reverse jet lag, and by the way, he learned that the preparations for "Twilight" had begun, and then he unveiled the tug-of-war with Disney.

At first, Disney sent legal counsel from the Legal Affairs Department, accusing Moe of breach of contract and non-compliance with the terms of the contract, and they wanted to terminate the contract to withdraw the authorization and not return the money.

Hualong Pictures has been prepared for a long time, and a number of American copyright lawyers specially hired to deal with it.

The copyright lawyer to the legal counsel clearly pointed out that the cute person only has intentions, has not yet been put into practice, and there is no breach of contract. Even if the cute side really invites Hollywood stars to star, it does not necessarily constitute a breach of contract.

The two sides argued with each other, and the argument was not lively, but Mai Xiaoyu felt bored.

However, the negotiation is a tug-of-war, in which the two sides battle wits and courage at the negotiating table, and wear out each other's patience. Disney has been talking with the Tokai government for many years in order to build a park in the East China Sea, but it has not yet been negotiated!

The two sides grinded like this for three days, and the lawyers were happy, because the longer the time they collected, the more money they collected. But Mai Xiaoyu was very annoying, even if he didn't participate, he was annoyed by the grinding.

He decided to cut through the mess quickly, or follow his own routine: "Have you read the script adapted by our company?"

"Does this have anything to do with what we're talking about now?"

"Absolutely. The crux of your argument now is whether the two films that our company is preparing to produce are suspected of infringement beyond your authorization, right? You haven't read the script, so how can you make a judgment?"

This one...... It's not the same thing, right?

Disney's legal counsel and assistant looked at each other and said, "In that case, we'd like to study the script." ”

"It's not that I won't show you, it's ...... Do you understand? Professional things are left to professional people to do, and judging the merits of a script is not within your professional scope. ”

"In that case, next time we will invite a dedicated screenwriter to come. ”

"Don't bother. I can tell you right now that this is an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, which perfectly circumvents the copyright issue of The Wizard of Oz. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"It's okay, you can just take my words back, someone in your company understands. ”

That's the crux of the matter.

Mai Xiaoyu's judgment of the situation is based on the premise that Disney is interested in "The Wizard of Wonderland". If people are not interested, then all judgments will be overturned, and the negotiations will end in failure.

The negotiation team formed by seven predator-level lambs was to slowly grind out the true purpose of Disney, and then negotiate with a purpose, but Mai Xiaoyu came up with such a move, and all his efforts were in vain.

For this reason, they also contacted Mai Xiaoyu by phone, saying that he was too impulsive and too rough to hold his breath, and turned the negotiation into a gamble.

Two days later, however, the two sides met again.

The representative of Disney is still the legal counsel of Disney's legal affairs department, but in addition to his assistant, there are two more people who are traveling with him.

Hualong Pictures was already prepared, and it only took five minutes for Mai Xiaoyu to get the detailed identity information of these two people: George, a senior executive of Disney Pictures, and Debbie, a famous producer.

Ignoring the legal counsel's chatter, Mai Xiaoyu took out the script of "The Wizard of Wonderland" and pushed it directly in front of the two: "Mr. George, Ms. Debbie, I'm the cute film and television Mai Xiaoyu, I'm very happy to meet the two." ”
