Chapter 1714

Although Li Mu is a businessman, he prefers his partners with strong human feelings to those businessmen who are thorough in the West.

For those who play the abacus with special precision, Li Mu will generally be more exclusive, which is not his careful eyes, but a simple personal preference.

When you want to pull your friends to do something mutually beneficial, the other side is only playing their own small abacus, which is really uncomfortable.

Based on the foundation of Kung Fu Panda, the profit margin and future derivative value will not be too high. However, if the panda bear's fame can be brought in, and the resources given to it by itself, the revenue and profit of DreamWorks at the box office will be greatly increased. Not only the box office of a single movie will soar, but also the future sequel development space of the whole movie will be larger.

Many films can't be made in two or three because of their lack of stamina, but there are also many films that can be made all the time like speed and passion, and the box office revenue is getting higher and higher.

Different from reality movies, the later they are made, the higher the cost, such as speed and passion. In the beginning, the leading actor is not famous, and one million eight hundred thousand dollars of film salary can't wait to sign. Even with the jokes in Guo Degang's crosstalk, one person carries two bags of noodles to do it.

However, with the movie becoming more and more popular, more and more sequels, the value of the leading actor is also getting higher and higher, and the cost of the movie naturally rises in a straight line.

In the production of American TV series, the salary of the leading actor should be adjusted several times for the series with more than three or five seasons, and even there are often things that the leading actor demands to raise the pay by threatening to stop acting.

For animated films, the more sequels are made, the lower the cost is.

This is because the cost of animation film's human design, background, world view setting, art, visual element setting and model building is a one-time investment. As more and more sequels are made, the cost will be more and more diluted.

It's like the cost of opening a mold in the industry. It costs tens of millions to open a set of mold. If we only produce one product, it must be expensive. The cost of mold alone is tens of millions.

But if we produce ten, the cost of mould will be as low as tens of thousands.

If DreamWorks is willing to cooperate with itself for mutual benefit, their profit margin must be much better than their own single fight. Moreover, every good cooperation is to pave the way for more and greater cooperation, and in the future, they will give them more resources and opportunities. But if it is calculated at one time, it is better to let them go early.

Spielberg also realized the seriousness of the problem. After realizing that Li Mu was angry with him, he immediately chartered a plane to fly to Yanjing to apologize to Li Mu himself. At the same time, he also brought a complete set of outlines, settings and scripts of Kung Fu Panda.

Li Mu really didn't send anyone to pick him up. He didn't even ask when he would arrive.

Spielberg flew all the way to China. The first thing after getting off the plane in the morning was to go straight to Makino technology.

Spielberg is also a world-famous director and billionaire. He came to China in a gray way and didn't dare to put on any show. He wore a cap and drove to Makino technology. He didn't contact with Li Mu, but went directly to the front desk.

In general, there are at least four people on duty at the front desk of Muye technology, three of whom provide Chinese service and one of whom provides English service.

I met a white old man. The front desk of English Service smiled and asked, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Spielberg touched the brim of the cap and said, "Hello, I'd like to meet you, Mr. Li."

The girl at the front desk didn't recognize him at the beginning. When he said that he wanted to see Li Mu, the girl at the front desk just asked as usual, "what's your name, please? Have you made an appointment in advance? "

"My name is Steven Spielberg. I made an oral appointment with Mr. Li," Spielberg said

"Spielberg..." The girl at the front desk was stunned and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then she recognized that what stood in front of her was a famous Hollywood director, Spielberg.

She was surprised and speechless, but Spielberg was a little embarrassed. She coughed and said, "I wonder if you can give me a briefing?"

The girl at the front desk just came back to her senses and said, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment, I'll give you a call."

She immediately picked up the phone and called Li Ziwei's office. She said, "sister Ziwei, Mr. Spielberg is at the front desk. He wants to see Mr. Li."

Li Ziwei said, "I see. You tell him to wait a moment. I'll inform president Li."

"OK."

Li Ziwei came to Li Mu's office quickly, knocked on the door and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, director Spielberg is here."

Li Mu said, "let him come up."

A moment later, Spielberg was brought up by the staff.

At the moment of seeing Li Mu, Spielberg immediately took the initiative and said apologetically, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry for the previous things. I didn't think about them properly."Li Mu smiled: "Steven, we are all friends. Please take a seat if you are so polite."

When Spielberg heard "everyone is a friend", his face was even hotter. He didn't know whether Li Mu said this intentionally or unintentionally, but he felt extremely ashamed when he heard this.

"Mr. Li, I thought about it carefully later and realized the importance of win-win cooperation. In fact, Muye technology is willing to take the image of panda bear out to make movies for us, which is a very useful thing for us."

Li Mu nodded and said lazily, "just think clearly, otherwise you always think that I'm pitching you."

"How can it be!" "I didn't worry that Li would cheat us at the beginning, but I was too optimistic about the follow-up value of copyright at that time. After careful consideration, it's still the most appropriate cooperation plan that you gave to me by Mr. Li," Spielberg said in a hurry

"Well." Li Mu nodded lightly and asked, "what do you think now?"

Spielberg hurriedly said: "what I think is very simple now is that I hope to cooperate with Makino technology to make bear and cat bear IP bigger and stronger."

Li Mu said, "have you brought the script and other materials?"

Spielberg nodded, turned out a printed document from his bag and handed it to Li Mudao: "Mr. Li, this is the relevant information of the story. Please have a look.

Li Mu nodded slightly, turned to the first page and saw a line of words: "the protagonist of the story is a panda named a Bao?"

Spielberg nodded: "yes, it's the first character."

Li Mu said, "can you change the name to fat Da?"

"Fata? What do you mean? "
