Chapter 200: Poison Hidden in Candy
"You mean, you want to use the copyright of our Disheni's "Mulan" to adapt it into a live-action movie?"
"That's right, but it's not me, it's us."
Xu Jia nodded, looking determined to win, "If I just want to make a Mulan story, I don't need copyright at all, but what I value is the global market and Di Shini's technology." β
He was confident that he would convince Robert to start the project.
It's very simple, since Di Sheni acquired Marvel and started the comic movie, he has been running wild on this road.
And the project of "Mulan" was launched in later generations, which shows that Di Sheni is not excluded.
What Xu Jia has to do is to fight such a time difference and seek his own share of benefits from it.
"I have to say that the plan you proposed has inspired me a lot." Robert became serious, this was the first time he showed a thoughtful expression after seeing Xu Jia.
Buzzing.
Xu Jia's phone vibrated slightly.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary pushed the door in with the papers.
"President, here's a document you need to deal with......"
"Put it here, I'll deal with it later, don't disturb my conversation with Xu now." Robert knocked on the table, and his face was a little unswerving when he was interrupted from thinking.
The secretary was stunned and glanced at Xu Jia in surprise.
Her visit this time was not just to hand over documents, but the deep meaning was to remind Xu Jia and the others that they could leave, so as not to disturb the president.
But Robert actually took the initiative to let them stay, which shows that this Chinese person has attracted the attention of the president in such a short period of time.
However, Xu Jia did not admit this feeling, but he took the initiative to stand up and said reservedly: "I will not hinder you from handling your work, I hope you can think about the cooperation plan I just proposed, there is something I want to remind you ......"
"Just now, "The Mermaid" produced by Jiaxing won nearly $400 million at the box office in the Chinese market, and it has been released for 18 days."
He deliberately pointed out the number of days in theaters, which means that $400 million is not the end.
Robert gave Xu Jia a deep look, and he admitted that this young man had successfully made himself impressed by Jiaxing, a Chinese company.
Even Di Shini will not be indifferent in the face of the box office figure of 400 million US dollars.
"Well, after all, we met too hastily, so how about I invite you to come back in three days?" Robert said.
"It's an honor."
Xu Jia smiled faintly.
After finishing speaking, he took Yang Mi to say goodbye and left the headquarters of Di Shini.
All this happened so fast that Yang Mi didn't react until she walked out of the gate.
"Just now, President Robert obviously wanted to keep you to continue talking about the project "Mulan", why did you leave so easily? Aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams? β
Yang Mi is worried about the situation of the previous "Megalodon", and will do it again.
With the noses of those domestic entertainment companies, I am afraid that when I hear the names Di Shini and "Mulan", I will be so excited that I will kill them.
After all, she can see the prospects of this project, and others can see it even more.
"Today is just to provoke his interest, such a short time, I can't talk about it, and with the size of Di Shini, they want to kick us away is just a matter of one sentence, so we can't give up the right to speak, it's a good thing to maintain a sense of mystery appropriately." Xu Jia explained matter-of-factly.
On the side, Yang Mi showed a suspicious look: "Why do I always feel that you have something to hide from me, it doesn't feel as simple as you say." β
Xu Jia raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you think is wrong?" If there is a trap, the president of the dignified Di Shini will not be able to see it? β
"That's right."
Yang Mi nodded subconsciously.
Dispel the seeds of doubt that have just grown in your heart.
No matter how you look at it, this project doesn't look like a problematic.
Could it be that you are too sensitive?
As everyone knows, Xu Jia secretly wiped his sweat.
Rub, this sister is well-studied, it's not easy to deceive.
He threw out "Mulan" from the beginning, in fact, he was confused and attracted Robert's attention.
If you really let him do it, he won't do it.
After all, the dismal results of "Mulan" in his previous life made him staggering.
The cost was 200 million US dollars, and the final box office was only more than 30 million US dollars, and the loss went to my grandmother's grandmother's house.
That was when more than 20 million US dollars were donated to the Chinese market.
It doesn't matter if the main box office doesn't buy it, and with Dishni's distribution ability, audiences in other countries don't buy it either.
There is only one reason for the failure of this movie, and that is that it did not balance the Eastern and Western cultures, and in the end, it was not pleasing to both sides.
And if you want to change, there is only one way.
is to get the dominance of "Mulan", but this is another dead end.
With Dishni's desire to control, they can't let go, especially if they push Disney+.
There's a joke about thatβ
"If you're unfortunate enough to be stranded on a desert island, you can draw a Mickey Mouse on the beach, and Disney people will come from far and wide to catch you, and you'll be saved."
What Xu Jia really wants to do is to use this plan to continue to confuse the eyes of those domestic competitors.
Whoever wants it, he doesn't mind selling it.
However, this price is more expensive.
Anyway, apart from him, who knows that poison is hidden in this seemingly delicate candy?
Return to the hotel where you rested.
After Xu Jia and Yang Mi separated, they called Zeng Jia as soon as possible and told them about "Mulan".
Zeng Jia was very excited: "If we can win this project, then our reputation in China will go to a higher level." β
"No, what you're going to do is get the word out that I'm discussing this project with Dilshni." Xu Jia said.
Are you afraid that others won't come to rob you?
Zeng Jiaren was confused and said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, if this spreads, there will definitely be a company that will come to rob it, maybe the matter of "Megalodon" will repeat the mistakes of the past." β
"All I want is someone to rob me, but if you want to take the meat from my mouth, you have to get me to agree first."
The corners of Xu Jia's mouth rose, "I don't plan to do this project, it's just to throw it to the domestic guys to grab food, so as to attract firepower." β
Especially during the release of "The Mermaid", Jiaxing's limelight was immeasurable for a while, and he had to do an international co-production project.
Xu Jia was worried that some people would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he simply used the pit of "Mulan" to let those guys fight for themselves.
Whoever jumps into it will be unlucky.
Zeng Jia instantly understood what Xu Jia meant.
Obviously, he is not optimistic about this project, and Zeng Jia may be suspicious of others making such judgments.
But Xu Jia, she didn't even think about it.
"I understand, Warner needs to be notified, we can pass it from Warner's branch in China."
"Yes, you've learned to answer."
Xu Jia thought for a while, but still refused: "But forget it, I have my own channels here." β
