Chapter 753: Yankee's Brain Hole

"Mr. George, Ms. Debbie, I'm cute film and television Mai Xiaoyu, it's a pleasure to meet both. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

was called out by Mai Xiaoyu, and looked at the script in front of him, and a look of surprise flashed on the faces of George and Debbie.

When they came this time, they didn't plan to disclose their identities, thinking that they would read the script of "The Wizard of Wonderland" first, and then decide the next plan according to the merits of the script.

"I didn't expect me to be so famous in Huaxia. ”

George smiled and pushed the script in front of Debbie, while taking over the negotiations.

"You misunderstood, we have done our homework, and we have all the information about the executives, producers, and screenwriters of your company in Los Angeles. ”

George: "......"

Debbie: "......"

Mai Xiaoyu continued to smile: "Although the cute person is small, he has a deep background in Hualong Pictures. Not only in China, but also in the United States, there are many relationships, otherwise you would not have gotten the copyright of "Twilight". ”

"I can see it, so I wonder why they are here when we meet. Are you afraid?"

"Because I am one of the shareholders of Hualong Pictures, these two films Hualong Pictures also invests in and is responsible for overseas distribution. You Disney cut off our wealth for no reason, aren't you afraid that we will also cut off your money?"

"I don't think you have what it takes. ”

"Not in the United States, but what about Huaxia? The negotiations over there in the East China Sea are almost at a critical juncture, and there is also Xiangjiang Disneyland, are there any safety hazards in the amusement facilities inside, do you need to stop and check?"

"You threaten us?"

"I'm stating the facts. Since the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, how many amusement facilities have failed, I don't need to list them all, right?"

"I don't know how theme parks work, shouldn't we talk about movies?"

"Of course, we have to talk about movies, but isn't it your company's responsibility to build a well-known brand for the entire Disney Kingdom through movies?"

"Are all Chinese people as despicable as you?" Disney's legal counsel interjected suddenly.

"Excuseme, despicable? Do you mean me?" Mai Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and slapped it on the table, "I want to ask, I came with sincerity to resolve the misunderstanding with your company." But as soon as he arrived at the Los Angeles airport, he was tortured by the FBI as a terrorist in a small black room...... What a dismount, who is despicable!"

Ye Chu, EVA and others present suddenly realized, only Shi Hao's face was strange, and he tried his best to hold back a smile, and he threw himself to the ground in his heart for the five bodies that Mai Xiaoyu admired.

It's so special!

"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. ”

……

In the video, the words of the four FBI agents made George frown.

The FBI tortured Mai Xiaoyu, George didn't care at all, but the FBI cared so much about the content of the negotiations between himself and the cute people, which couldn't help but make him think more.

"I'm sorry for such an unpleasant experience, but I have to make it clear that we don't do such a thing. ”

"Who else are you? Who would be so interested in what we're talking about, and come to the FBI to scare me?"

yes, who could it be?

can grasp that Mai Xiaoyu took a flight, and also found the FBI to come forward, the other party's origin must be not small, who is it?

At this time, Debbie had already finished reading the outline of the script and the character biography, and said: "Mr. Mai, with all due respect, the names of the characters in this script are more like Western names, and we only grant you the right to adapt them in Chinese." From this point of view, your company has harbored the intention of infringement since the adaptation of the script. ”

"You misunderstood, this book is the American version, and the character names naturally use the lives of Westerners. ”

"The American version?"

"Bingo!, our adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz", can be seen as a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz", but it avoids the issue of film copyright. For example, we did away with the classic 'Yellow Brick Road', which was set to change with the mood, and the famous 'Ruby Shoes', which we changed back to silver, because in the original book it was silver......"

U.S. law is very detailed, and the same is true when it comes to copyright.

"The Wizard of Oz" is in front of the golden jade, and "The Wizard of Oz" must be careful to avoid all possible infringing details.

In the script, there are not only "Yellow Brick Road" and "Ruby Shoes", but also the appearance and name of the evil Western witch, the flying monkey in "The Wizard of Oz", the appearance of the Manchijin people, and so on.

Because of the "Wizard of Oz" movie copyright in Warner's hands, it is extremely difficult to adapt the movie script of "Adventures in the Land of Oz". Compared with ordinary script creation, the time, energy, cost, manpower, and material resources invested in the script of "The Wizard of Wonderland" are more than ten times or even dozens of times, which is an extremely huge project.

In some places, lawyers who are good at copyright are needed to join in and compare it with The Wizard of Oz and then determine whether there is any alleged infringement.

According to Mai Xiaoyu, it took Ah Zheng a year and a half to create the script of "The Wizard of Wonderland", during which Mengren Film and Television invested a lot, just to ensure that there would be no copyright disputes.

His words were not exaggerated, and this was true in the strange dream, but he was a ready-made copy from the strange dream, so there was no input, not even a Chinese version.

George and Debbie didn't doubt his statement, Disney knows how difficult it is to adapt "Adventures in Oz". When I sold the Chinese adaptation rights to the cute people, I had the idea of testing the waters with the cute people.

It's hard to get started.

If the cute people really solve the copyright problem, then if "The Wizard of Wonderland" achieves a good box office, the second, three, four, five, six, and seventh parts can continue according to this routine and shoot casually!

The full movie version of "The Wizard of Oz" in Warner's hand can't pose the slightest obstacle...... Warner?

Could it be that the FBI at the airport ......

George, who had a big brain, felt that he had figured out something.

He glanced at Debbie, who continued to read the script, and he asked Mai Xiaoyu with interest: "Why do you think we will agree, can't we shoot it ourselves?"

"It's not interesting for you to say that. I am well aware of the difficulty and high cost of adapting "The Adventures of Oz", and I guarantee that you will adapt it yourself, which is not as effective as everyone's cooperation. Moreover, I have registered the copyright of this script in the United States, and if your future adaptation infringes our copyright, you will go to court. Also, if you don't agree, I can go to Warner and talk about cooperation. ”

"Warner?" George smiled faintly, "Who do you think is asking the FBI to deal with you at the airport?"

Mai Xiaoyu smiled secretly in his heart: "Could it be...... It doesn't matter, there are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests, don't you?"
