Lee Shengyao just met Toby. Emmerich, and the next day he met with Warren, the representative of Disney. Egger.

It's still in his house.

This was the first time Lee had seen Warren in the mainland.

Compared to before in the beautiful country, Warren seems to be much older at this time, and there are a lot of wrinkles on his face.

Despite the fact that Warren regularly works out and wears a suit, he looks able to hold up his clothes.

However, Li Shengyao always had a feeling that Warren's feet were floating and unsteady.

This time, Warren was carrying a bag containing some expensive cigars.

"Lee, it's really nice to see you again, your new movie is very cool, you're very good, you're the best guy everywhere."

Lee Shengyao and Warren hugged each other gently.

"Thank you for the compliment, I took it all."

Warren laughed, and then handed over a cigar.

Li Shengyao didn't smoke this thing, but he gave it away, and he didn't refuse.

Warren then expressed his intention this time.

"Lee, I crossed the ocean this time to express to you our sincerity at Disney, we had a very friendly and smooth cooperation in the production of "The Hangover" before, and we should continue this cooperation."

"The Hangover 1" was distributed by Disney.

Both Warner and Disney have taken a fancy to the "Hangover" sequel, and they have obviously seen the huge influence of this movie.

Participating in the production of "The Hangover" can not only make money, but also grow your momentum and make money in the stock market.

This is the reason why Warner, Disney is so enthusiastic.

Lee Shengyao did not promise Warner yesterday, and naturally he will not agree to Disney today.

He smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, man, I'll think about it seriously." ”

He didn't show his intentions and seemed very enthusiastic.

Warren shook his head, "Lee, I hope to be sure of this cooperation. ”

He paused for a moment, then leaned closer in the direction of Li Shengyao, "Li, I heard about the cooperation ratio between Fenghua and Warner, I think Warner is just grabbing money, and they don't care about your feelings at all." ”

"The Hangover is completely your script, with the model of the first part, the follow-up shooting will be much simpler, Warner is just responsible for the distribution, and they can actually take three dividends."

"I think Warner is a vampire, and we Disney are different, we are not so greedy, we will be more reasonable, more respectful of you, if you cooperate with Disney, we only need 2.5% of the profit share, and the copyright share."

Warner's partnership with Lee Shengyao is seven or three points.

Now Disney is going to come to a 7.5 to 2.5 to reduce the dividends and copyrights on its side even lower.

It seems that Disney is targeting Warner, a special plan.

When such a percentage is passed back to Hollywood, it will actually be ridiculed by other Hollywood companies, just like Warner back then.

Warren then gave a second reason.

"Lee, if you cooperate with Disney, you will get higher returns, Disney has the best publicity system in the whole of Hollywood, which Warner can't compare."

Li Shengyao listened to Warren's words, smiled and nodded.

If he cooperates with Warner, he doesn't need Warner's help in publicity, because there are too many places where publicity can be done.

Whether it's Warner or Disney, Lee doesn't believe it.

"Lee, I know that you have always distrusted the promotion of Hollywood companies, it doesn't matter, I can guarantee that it will not affect you, our Disney promotion will not incur additional costs, and there is no need to deduct from the cost, which can be written into the contract."

In other words, Disney is willing to help promote it for free, which is really interesting.

Just like Warren said, Disney has a strong promotional ability all over the world, and Warner can't compare to it, Paramount can't compare to it, and Sony Pictures can't compare to it.

If Disney does the publicity and distribution work, the box office of the movie should be higher.

Warren continued: "We can have a more extensive and deeper cooperation in the future, Disney now has the most extensive film and television resources in the whole of Hollywood, we have all kinds of fairy tales, and all kinds of superheroes, which Warner can't match."

"Li, if you want to use these film and television resources, we can discuss, and Disney will open a green channel for you."

As Warren said, Disney has an advantage in this area that no other company can match.

If Lee wanted to make a superhero movie, working with Disney was the best option.

But just like Martin. Scorsese said the same thing, superhero movies are all shit, and they have no connotation.

It doesn't matter who the actor of such a movie is, and it doesn't matter who the director is.

Li Shengyao is actually not interested in this.

He looked up and saw Warren's expectant gaze.

"Man, I'll think about it."

Warren couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that Lee Shengyao still hadn't given a definite answer.

As the current president of Disney, Robert . Egger's cousin, he really wants to make a career.

Knowing that Warner sent Toby to Yanjing, he immediately volunteered, saying that he must win Li Shengyao and get the opportunity to cooperate with the follow-up film of "The Hangover".

But he didn't expect that under such conditions, Li Shengyao still couldn't give a word.

Warren was naturally unwilling, he knew that coercion was useless, Li Shengyao ate soft and not hard, and could only give enough benefits, and Li Dadao would consider it.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Li, I heard that you are already preparing the latest movie, we at Disney can help you promote it, and the distribution rights of the new movie will be given to Disney, and in terms of publicity, we will do it for free."

When Li Shengyao heard this, he was slightly moved.

"1937" will be filmed according to the model of "1917", and when it comes to the publicity period, it will be advertised as the first feature-length film in history to be shot to the end.

In this way, even if European and American audiences don't understand that history, there are still highlights.

If Disney had helped promote it, then "1937" should have been stronger, and more people would know about the movie.

In this way, the final box office, even when it comes to awards, will help.

It's just that he has long agreed with Toby that the films he directs will be handed over to Warner for global distribution.

Give it to Disney now, and then break your promise.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Warren, thank you very much for your sincerity, but regarding the production of the sequel to "The Hangover", I still can't give you an answer now, you wait for me for a few days, and I will give you a definite answer." ”

He is still more optimistic about Warners.

The main cooperation was already very tacit before, and he was too lazy to break such a situation.

His main focus is now on China, and on his own new films, he doesn't want to spend too much time and energy on the movies in the beautiful country.

Of course, Disney is willing to reduce the split to two to five, and this should be known to the people at Warner.

The brothers are settling accounts, Disney has dropped, and Warner will naturally have to fall.

After Warner's side confirms, the sequel to "The Hangover" can be launched immediately, and then Lee Shengyao will arrange for someone to go to the beautiful country to select a director and form a crew.

In this way, Lee Shengyao does not need to worry about the filming of "The Hangover 23", and he can go all out to produce "1937".
