Chapter 740

"Alice in Wonderland" and "the wizard of Wonderland" two films, even if each film invests US $100 million, it can not support the domestic box office alone. Even with the box office outside Shanghai, it is not easy to recover the investment cost.

Mai Xiaoyu didn't plan to make a Chinese film at the beginning, just to lead Disney into the urn.

But Disney is rich and powerful. People will never see cute movies and TV. Even if we choose partners in China in order to expand the Chinese market, we will choose between giant base and big base.

No way, Mai Xiaoyu had to find another way and buy the Chinese adaptation rights of the two films first.

Long before Shi Hao contacted Disney film company to convey Meng Ren's plan, Liu Junhao had spread the news that Meng Ren film and television wanted to shoot Alice in Wonderland and the wizard of Wonderland in Chinese, and planned to invite major Hollywood stars to join through relations in the United States.

The American people quit!

Think of the man from earth, which is still on.

The script written by Chinese people, invested and shot by Huaxia film company, starring American actors, and the box office in North America exceeded 100 million!

Now, the damn chinese film company is eyeing the famous Western fairy tales Alice in Wonderland and the adventures of Oz, and is also going to invite Hollywood famous stars to Starr

If the Orientals succeed, how much box office will they take away from the United States?

Besides, these two fairy tales have long been moved to the big screen by Hollywood. Now why should they be filmed by Huaxia film company from the east?

Do they understand?

Can they shoot?

Will it destroy the original?

If it's done... It's even more terrible!

The American people also have a strong sense of national pride, so someone called for a strict investigation into whether Mengren film and television has obtained the authorization of the two films and whether their behavior involves infringement!

MGM pictures was the first to adapt the adventures of Oz into the wizard of Oz and put it on the big screen. But the copyright of this classic film now belongs to Warner Brothers.

In other words, Warner Bros. owns the film copyright of the wizard of oz.

They took the lead in saying that they did not authorize Mengren film and television.

The American public's attention is focused on Disney.

The copyright of Alice in Wonderland is in Disney's hands, and the copyright of the original novel of the adventures of Oz is also in Disney's hands.

It was through them that Mengren film and television bought the right to adapt Chinese after paying a high copyright fee.

When it was sold, there was no cute man from earth, but now... Disney regrets it. He rebuffed Shi Hao and asked Shi Hao to tell Meng people. Because Meng people's breach of contract has a very bad impact on Disney, Disney needs to contact the contract and withdraw the authorization.

But Disney's words didn't die, leaving a little breath.

"If Disney really wants to contact the contract, they don't need to let president Shi send a message that if I go to the United States for an interview in person and show enough sincerity, they can't consider continuing cooperation."

Mai Xiaoyu smiled and answered president Li's question.

"Don't think too simply. It's hard for American enterprises to deal with," Ye Xin warned. "A big company like Disney can eat all your residue if you're not careful."

"So I need your help."

Still limited by the level and contact level, when dealing with Disney, Mai Xiaoyu can stand in front and open a hole, but he can't do the follow-up work, neither can Liu Xiaoli.

The follow-up work can not be finalized by three or five people in a week or two. The experienced negotiation team of denima has to show enough weight. After a long period of seesaw negotiations, they can finally be finalized by picking out the details and being careful of contract traps and word games.

Limited by their own scale and influence, Meng people are at a disadvantage when facing Disney at the negotiation table. In addition, for negotiations at this level, the other party is a foreign company such as Disney, which lacks talent and experience.

The other seven shareholders understand Mai Xiaoyu's meaning and are also very interested in this cooperation.

The business of Walt Disney Kingdom covers a wide range and is extremely huge. Film and television production is only a small part of it. A considerable part of its businesses intersect with those of the other seven, so there is a possibility of cooperation.

Taking Disney theme park as an example, once the establishment of Disney theme park in the East China Sea is finalized, it will drive a large number of related industries and bring a lot of investment opportunities. However, there are too many relationship households, local snakes and capital giants staring at these opportunities, and it may not be their turn.

However, cooperation with Disney film company will help them break the ice successfully and show their magic powers in the future. Whether they can get through the relationship, what level of relationship they can get through and how many benefits they can get depends on their own skills.

It may fail, but at least it's an opportunity. Why not try?

Things at the capital level are too cumbersome. Mai Xiaoyu doesn't know much and doesn't care. But he knew that the other seven must care, because Liu Junhao, who first knew the plan, was very interested.

Zhu Zeyuan thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "what is Disney's sincerity? Investment proportion?"

"The investment proportion is the interest contention point in the later negotiation process. The sincerity they want now is the script, especially the book of the wizard of Wonderland."

"Why?"

"Because they have the original copyright of the adventures of Oz, and the copyright of the film the wizard of Oz is in Warner's hands. At the beginning, they were willing to sell me the right to adapt the Chinese language. In addition to the price factor, I guess they also wanted me to explore the way."

Without Warner's authorization, the film adapted by Meng Ren must carefully avoid the copyright of the wizard of Oz, and the script adaptation is very difficult.

For example, the hairstyles and costumes of the characters in the adapted film can't be too close to the wizard of Oz, otherwise they will wait for a lawsuit!

I haven't seen Disney get the copyright of the original work for many years. It hasn't easily adapted the film. A few years ago, it took the initiative to cooperate with Warner, but Warner rejected it.

President Li suddenly asked, "in other words, you have expected the reaction of Disney?"

"Yes."

"Then you lied to us before!"

"Because I'm not sure."

This is the scene. The real answer is that these lambs have sharp teeth. Mai Xiaoyu must increase his mystery to protect his own interests.

It's easy to understand that Liu Junhao wanted to take a stake by force in August.

The crowd was silent.

Apart from Liu Junhao knowing the inside story in advance and doing enough work, everyone else needs time to consider such a big thing.

Mai Xiaoyu coughed and said, "there's plenty of time. You can think about it slowly and give me an answer within a week. One thing I must make clear first is that these two films, Liu Yifei, the artist of our company, that is, my sister sissy, must be starring."
