"Mr. George, Ms. Debbie, I'm Meng Ren film and television Mai Xiaoyu. Nice to meet you."
When Mai Xiaoyu called out his name and looked at the script in front of him, a flash of amazement flashed on the faces of George and Debbie.
They didn't intend to disclose their identity this time. They wanted to read the script of the wizard of Wonderland first, and then decide the next plan according to the merits of the script.
"I didn't expect that I was so famous in China."
George smiled, pushed the script to Debbie and took over the negotiating voice.
"You misunderstood. We have done enough homework. At present, we have the information of your executives, producers and screenwriters in Los Angeles."
George: "
Debbie: "
Mai Xiaoyu continued with a smile: "although cute people are small, Hualong film has a deep background. It has many relationships not only in China, but also in the United States, otherwise it won't get the copyright of Twilight city."
"I can see. That's why I wonder why they appear when we meet. Are you afraid?"
"Because I am one of the shareholders of Hualong film, Hualong film also has investment in these two films and is responsible for overseas distribution. Are you afraid that Disney will cut off our wealth for no reason?"
"I don't think you have the ability."
"Not in the United States, but what about Huaxia? The negotiations on the East China Sea are approaching a critical juncture, and Xiangjiang Disneyland. Are there any potential safety hazards in the amusement facilities? Do you need to stop inspection?"
"You threaten us?"
"I'm telling the truth. Since the opening of Xiangjiang Disneyland, I don't need to list how many faults have occurred to the amusement facilities?"
"I don't understand the operation of the theme park. Shouldn't we talk about movies?"
"Of course we should talk about movies, but isn't it your company's responsibility to build a well-known brand for the whole Disney kingdom through movies?"
"Are all Chinese as mean as you?" the legal adviser of Disney suddenly interposed.
"Excuse me, mean? You mean me?" Mai Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone and patted it on the table. "I'd like to ask. I came with sincerity to resolve the misunderstanding with your company. But just arrived at Los Angeles Airport, I was tortured by the FBI as a terrorist in a small black room... What a threat. Who's mean!"
Ye Chu, EVA and others who were present suddenly realized that only Shi Hao's face was strange, tried to hold back his smile, and fell in love with Mai Xiaoyu's admiration.
Too special to play!
"Mr. Mai, we need to know the content of your negotiations with Disney."
"If you don't want to suffer, I suggest you'd better cooperate with us."
"His suggestion is very good, otherwise you may be refused entry or put in prison."
"I promise, you'll regret it."
……
In the video, the words of four FBI agents made George frown.
George didn't care about the FBI's torture of Mai Xiaoyu, but the FBI was so concerned about the content of the negotiations between his side and Meng people that he couldn't help thinking more.
"I'm sorry for such an unpleasant experience, but I must clarify that we won't do such a thing."
"No, who else can you have? Who would be so interested in the content of our negotiation and find the FBI to scare me?"
Yeah, who could it be?
If you can master Mai Xiaoyu's flight and ask the FBI to come forward, the other party must have a big background. Who is it?
At this time, Debbie had finished reading the script outline and biography of the characters and said, "Mr. Mai, with all due respect, the names of the characters in this script are more like the names of Westerners, and we only grant you the right to adapt in Chinese. From this point of view, your company has had the heart of infringement since you adapted the script."
"You misunderstood. This book is an American version. The character names naturally use the lives of Westerners."
"American version?"
"Bingo! Our adaptation of the wizard of Oz can be regarded as the prequel of the wizard of Oz, but it avoids the problem of film copyright. For example, we cancelled the classic 'yellow brick road', which is set to change with mood; and the famous' Ruby shoes', we changed back to silver, because it is silver in the original..."
American law is very detailed, as is copyright.
The wizard of Oz is ahead of the Golden Jade, and the wizard of Wonderland must carefully avoid all possible infringement details.
In the script, there are not only "yellow brick road" and "Ruby shoes", but also the shape and name of evil Western witches, the flying monkey in the wizard of Oz, the shape of manqijin people and so on.
Because of the film copyright of the wizard of Oz in Warner's hands, it is very difficult to adapt the screenplay of the adventures of oz. Compared with ordinary script creation, the script of the wizard of Wonderland has invested more than ten times or even dozens of times in time, energy, cost, manpower and material resources. It is an extremely huge project.
In some places, lawyers who are good at copyright need to join them, compare them with the wizard of Oz, and then determine whether they are suspected of infringement.
According to Mai Xiaoyu, it took a year and a half for ah Zheng to create the script of the wizard of Wonderland. During this period, Meng Ren invested a lot in film and television, just to ensure that there would be no copyright disputes.
His words were not exaggerated. It was true in the strange dream, but he copied it from the strange dream, so he didn't have any investment, or even the Chinese version.
George and Debbie don't doubt his statement. Disney knows how difficult it is to adapt the adventures of oz. When he sold the right to adapt Chinese to Meng people, he had the idea of testing the water with Meng people.
Everything is difficult at the beginning.
If Mengren really solves the copyright problem, then the wizard of Wonderland has made a good box office, the second 334567 can continue according to this routine and shoot casually!
The movie version of the wizard of Oz in Warner's hands is complete, and it can't be an obstacle... Warner?
Is the FBI at the airport
George with a big hole in his head felt he had figured out something.
He glanced at Debbie, who continued to read the script. He asked Mai Xiaoyu with great interest: "why do you think we will agree, but we can't do it ourselves?"
"It's boring for you to say so. Adaptation of the adventures of Oz" I have a deep understanding of the difficulty and cost. I guarantee that your own adaptation is not as effective as everyone's cooperation. Moreover, I have registered the copyright of this script in the United States. If your future adaptation infringes our copyright, I will file a lawsuit. In addition, if you don't agree, I can go to warner for cooperation. "
"Warner?" George smiled faintly. "Who do you think asked the FBI to deal with you at the airport?"
Mai Xiaoyu smiled in his heart: "it doesn't matter. There are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests, doesn't it?"
