Chapter 571: Hollywood's Olive Branch (Subscription Requested)
The successful conclusion of the anime "Digimon" not only raised Gu Miao's prestige to a higher level, but also dealt a heavy blow to the theme of "Adventure through Another World".
No one expected this result.
It can only be said that Gu Miao's interview a year ago is still playing a huge role today.
What is Guoman carrying the handle?
was preparing to tactically lean back, and give Huang Kun and others a good science popularization, what is the influence of "the first person in the history of Guoman", Gu Miao, suddenly received a call from North America.
“what?!”
“are you kidding me?”
Gu Miao, who answered the phone, subconsciously pinched Huang Kun's arm, and it wasn't until Huang Kun stared at him with a resentful expression that he realized that this was not a dream.
"What's going on?"
Lao Zhang leaned over and asked, "What's going on?" Is the Digital World going to attack our Treasures and rob us of the Divine Plan? ”
"It's not!"
Gu Miao, who had just hung up the phone, raised the corners of her mouth and said in a very strange tone: "Do you dare to believe that the film and television company of Haolaiwu wants to buy the copyright from us?" ”
"Ahh
Several people in the room froze.
What is the situation?
The name of Hollywood can be said to be known to everyone. Huang Kun, Lao Zhang and others, as senior fans who are often optimistic about Laiwu blockbusters, naturally understand what kind of place it is.
But now Mr. Gu said that Hollywood plans to buy the copyright of Wanbao Animation for filming live-action movies?
"What animation?!"
Lao Zhang was the first to regain his composure, frowned and asked, "Our company has a lot of IP, but there are few suitable for adapting live-action movies, right?" ”
"For the time being, I will mention two, "Sailor Moon" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"!"
Gu Miao explained: "The other party said that if the film has a good response after its release, it can deepen cooperation and launch more film projects." ”
Sure enough, I came prepared!
As soon as Mr. Gu said the two IPs of "Sailor Moon" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", everyone immediately understood the idea of this Hollywood film and television company.
Sailor Moon won't talk about it.
The phenomenal anime that has exploded in the world has an extremely wide influence all over the world, and it is not surprising that the other party is eyeing this IP.
As for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles......
It was surprising at first, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense. After all, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animation is also very popular overseas, at least more popular than in China.
"What do you say, do you want to sell it?"
Gu Miao asked: "I made a preliminary inquiry about the offer just now, and I feel quite sincere, and the other party is also willing to share the benefits of the movie." ”
"Well...... this"
Everyone looked at each other.
Hollywood's name is very loud, and calling this film and television company is also one of the giants in Hollywood, and it is definitely a good thing to be able to cooperate.
But the IP of "Sailor Moon" is one of the treasures of Wanbao's "bottom of the box"!
It's not a question of money or not.
If this is the same as Marvel selling the copyright of the little spider, and it can't be taken back later, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
And the other party buys the copyright and plans to shoot a live-action movie, so he must want to choose a good actor to come to the dock.
Blonde Sailor Moon ......
Compared with the many concerns of "Sailor Moon", everyone has no objection to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
If you can sell it, it's a success!
On the one hand, Wan Bao does not have that strength, and on the other hand, he lacks suitable resources and directors.
Plus......
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are "alternative" superheroes, and whoever plays them is the same, and there is no problem that European and American actors will feel that the style of painting is inconsistent.
“ok!”
After listening to everyone's discussion, Gu Miao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's do it, since everyone has concerns about "Sailor Moon", let's put this matter aside for the time being." ”
"Let's talk to each other about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, what do you think?"
"No problem!"
Everyone nodded.
As one of the IPs at the bottom of Wanbao's box, the copyright of the animated "Sailor Moon" really cannot be easily sold to avoid becoming the next Spider-Man.
But "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has no such concerns.
As one of Wanbao's marginalized and less valued IPs. Selling the live-action film adaptation rights of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to Hollywood is actually not a big deal.
As long as it doesn't affect Wanbao to continue to produce the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animation and continue to sell Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles peripheral toys, the movie will be the same for whoever shoots it.
It's better to say......
It's a good thing that the film adaptation rights are sold, because Hollywood is likely to promote the film to the world, and the IP of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be more famous, and Wanbao will be the biggest beneficiary.
……
After making a decision, Wanbao Animation quickly approached the film and television giants of Hollywood and launched in-depth and detailed negotiations.
And after this news came out, the biggest reaction was not those "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animation fans, but Du Hao, who was filming the movie "Horse Galloping".
"Why?"
Du Hao was aggrieved.
It was he who first set his sights on the manga "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and it was he who first proposed that he would adapt this manga into a movie in the future.
Gu Miao also agreed.
But now he says that he will sell it, and he has not considered his feelings at all. For Du Hao, it's no wonder that he is not in a hurry!
"The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come."
"Don't worry! I will definitely compensate you for one when I look back, which is not inferior to the super big IP of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles......"
In this matter, Gu Miao really owes Du Hao. After all, it was he who sent Du Hao to Wanbao Comics for retreat, which brought him into contact with the manga "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Now the adaptation rights have been sold.
The saddest and most reluctant person must be Du Hao.
Gu Miao could understand his emotions, and at the same time, he was trying his best to appease Du Hao, trying to make him understand the decision made by the company.
The other party gave too much!
If he gave a little less, Gu Miao might not have sold so decisively, but tens of millions of dollars were smashed, and his bottom line couldn't be kept in an instant.
How rich!
It can only be said that Gu Miao has never seen such an arrogant unjust boss in his life, and he really can't help it.
"Okay, okay!"
After Gu Miao's comfort, coupled with the fact that Haolaiwu did give a lot of money, Du Hao understood after a few words.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is that Gu Miao hinted to him that Wanbao has a lot of say in this cooperation, and maybe he can be stuffed into it and learn from him as an assistant director in the crew.
What's the fuss about?
To have the opportunity to study with a mature foreign commercial film director, even if it is just a "nominal" assistant director, Du Hao is quite satisfied.
This is definitely a rare opportunity for him, a good opportunity to improve his directing skills!
Time is a bit tight, though.
The progress of the movie "Horse Galloping" must be accelerated, otherwise he may not be able to catch up with the opportunity to join the team as an assistant director of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie.
