Chapter 336: Quotations from both sides

In the next two days, the crew resumed normal filming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and in addition to shooting, Liu La also began to wait patiently for Katzenberg's arrival, which Liu La did not hesitate, he firmly believed that Katzenberg would definitely come to him, it was nothing more than a matter of time, maybe three days and two days, maybe one or two weeks, but he would not let himself wait too long.

Liu La couldn't think of a reason why Katzenberg didn't come to him, several of his paintings had blocked his back road, this was almost the most perfect work, and there was no room for change.

Now there are two ways in front of him, one is to continue to invest money in research, spend tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and finally set up a satisfactory character, but whether it is good or not, whether it is good or not, it is still a matter of two words. The other way is naturally to buy Liu La's ready-made works, which will also be expensive, but it is certain that it will be at least countless times cheaper and faster than investing money in research.

In this case, the choice seems obvious, and no one is going to fight against money. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, DreamWorks will pirate Liu's design and make a similar set according to his own. If this kind of thing really happens, then Liu Ra will really die of joy.

In places like the United States, and in most of the international world except China, the issue of intellectual property is very important. Especially for a large company like DreamWorks, as long as it involves this aspect, Liu La will hire a barrister and sue one by one, and if they are not allowed to pay the compensation of three or five billion US dollars, the lawyer himself will have to commit suicide by hitting the wall.

The international community is very different from China when it comes to fines. China treats everyone equally, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, no matter who you are or what status you are, the law is fair to you. The children of the governor's family are fined 500 for beating, and the children of workers are actually fined 500, which makes no difference.

The mainstream law of the country and society is to increase the punishment of the rich and those with status. Let's say you are an ordinary person, and you violate the law and take drugs, you will be fined 10,000 yuan. But if you are Bill Gates, and you commit the same crime, the state may fine you tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Because there is a notion in mainstream society that fines are not meant to punish you, but to serve as a warning. Obviously, 10,000 yuan is a lot for ordinary people, but it is not even a hair for Bill Gates. In order to make you a warning, so in the end the judge will set a fine that makes you feel distressed.

One of the most classic examples is Madonna, just a few years ago, Madonna spat on an old American woman and spit on someone's face, and spit twice in a row. When this kind of thing happens to ordinary people, that is, if you criticize and educate, you will be fined 1,800 people. But Madonna, a rich star, was fined nearly $10 million for this, basically $5 million in one mouthful.

The reason is actually that Madonna said a word, she said that she didn't care about the fine, and she was going to spit on the old lady again. Obviously, in the end, she cheated herself, and she was slapped in the face by the laws of the United States.

To sum up, it is because of the above reasons that Liu La firmly believes that Katzenberg and DreamWorks will definitely come to him. As for why it will be delayed for a few days, it is easy to understand, in order to keep the price down. Now these old beauties have also learned to be smart, but everyone must have an English version of Sun Tzu's Art of War on their bookshelf......

Sure enough, things were just as Liu La thought, and after another two days, Katzenberg finally couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to come to the door to discuss cooperation with Liu La.

Or to be more accurate, he was actually going to buy it in the first place. He came directly to the recording studio to find Liu La, and after seeing Liu La, he briefly exchanged a few words, and the two of them plus Chen Long, and the three of them came to the café in Universal Studios to talk about things together. In fact, Chen Long didn't have to come, but Liu La dragged him hard, because Liu La felt that Chen Long was involved in everything, but in the end, he dumped people, which is a bit like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. So although the matter had nothing to do with Long Chen, Liu La still called him.

After the three of them sat down, there was no temptation, hypocrisy or anything, and Katzenberg directly made an offer to Liu La: "Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, we are indeed very interested in your design, and the company has held several meetings in the past few days, and we are talking about you." In the end, I decided to work with you, and we at DreamWorks are willing to invest $3 million to buy the ownership of several of the characters you designed for the production of the Kung Fu Panda animation. ”

After saying that, Katzenberg looked directly at Liu La, waiting for his answer. In fact, Katzenberg also knew about this bargaining chip, and Liu Spicy would not agree to it anyway, he just quoted a reserve price first.

Sure enough, hearing Katzenberg's words, he didn't even think about it, Liu La hung up and shook his head, and after taking a sip of coffee, he smiled: "I'm sorry, this price is too low, I definitely can't accept it." If the original picture of a character costs three million dollars, it is about the same, but three million sets, this is too funny. ”

For Liu La's refusal, Katzenberg was already prepared in his heart, and he was not surprised, so he directly quoted again: "No, three million is too expensive, and we can't accept it." In this way, I'll give you a real idea, 10 million dollars, a set of original character drawings, and you have to work with us to design several other characters, which is the limit of my bearing. ”

After this offer, Katzenberg also took a sip of coffee, he felt that this price should be acceptable to Liula, this is already a unique very, very high offer, Katzenberg does not believe that Liula will refuse.

In fact, just as Katzenberg thought, 10 million US dollars, this Nima is a small 80 million yuan, the moment he heard this offer, Liu La's heart was indeed shaken, and he had the urge to sell the design. But soon, he put the idea down again, and in the face of this offer, Liu La finally shook his head at Katzenberg again.

Katzenberg really didn't expect Liu La to reject this offer again, and he was suddenly surprised, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this time, Liu Ra finally spoke, and he said to Katzenberg: "Now I will also tell me my offer, I don't want a penny...... I just want 20 percent of the box office to be ...... after the release of "Kung Fu Panda" (to be continued.) )
