Hollywood starts with animation

A few days later.

After accepting Zhu Ke's entrustment, Kandi, the negotiation expert, got in touch with Marvel at the first time. After several days of hard work, he finally successfully launched the first negotiation on the copyright issue of Spiderman.

However, the direction of the matter went beyond Zhuke's expectations.

"What? You said the Marvel Lions spoke big?!"

Zhuke frowned.

Hearing this, Kandy shook his head: "It's not just that, there are other problems."

Other questions?

"Yes!"

Attorney Zhang Wei on the side said: "This involves the history of Spider-Man. At present, MGM Pictures and Columbia Pictures are also involved in Spider-Man's copyright acquisition."

Hiss~~!

Zhuke couldn't help taking a breath.

Sony Columbia, one of the top six in Hollywood, and MGM, the skinny camel bigger than a horse, are not idle characters, or even behemoths!

Compared with them, Wald Pictures is not a mass unit at all.

No, to be precise, it is not a dimension at all.

.......

The history of Spider-Man?

In 1985, the script of "Spider-Man" was sold to Cannon Pictures.

In 1989, Cannon Pictures did not manage well and was acquired by French EMI Films. The chairman of Cannon Pictures, Menahem Golan, took the copyright of Spider-Man to Twentieth Century Fox.

While at Fox, Golan sold the screenplay of Spider-Man to Columbia Pictures, ready to be filmed by James Cameron, and Arnold Schwarzenegger will play Doctor Octopus.

but.

At this time, Columbia was acquired by Sony Pictures, leading to the abortion of the shooting plan.Later, MGM acquired part of the assets of Twentieth Century Fox, including the script of Spider-Man, but Columbia Pictures insisted that the copyright should belong to them.

Therefore, today's "Spider-Man" copyright has become a three-party competition between Zhuke, MGM, and Sony!

"Condy and Lawyer Zhang, even if Sony and MGM join in, it's just a matter of price. What are we to worry about." Zhu Ke gritted his teeth.

Even so, Zhu Ke's move undoubtedly offended the two giant companies.

Both MGM and Columbia are extremely influential in Hollywood or globally. They only need to take a little action on media and theater distribution issues to make Zucker's Wald Pictures difficult. .

"Humph!"

"I just don't believe in this evil!"

Even if you are a big company, so what?

I'm not afraid to offend you, after all, that's Spider-Man!

.......

Ten days later.

The copyright issue of Spider-Man has finally settled!

Zhuke bought the copyright to Spider-Man for $9 million.

Compared with Sony in history, it paid an extra $2 million.

Of course, what Zhuke won is not only the copyright of Spider-Man, but also the copyright of Spider-Man related comic characters, such as Venom, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Mystery, etc. You can adapt the movie at will. Marvel is only here. Provide some creative control on the basis to avoid conflicts with the MCU story line.

However, there is another key point in the contract.

"Marvel's follow-up on the image of "Spider-Man", including the plot of the comics, Zhuke's Wald Pictures, has the final veto power."

On this issue, Marvel’s shareholders, and even Victor, CEO of Wald Pictures, are a little puzzled.

"Hehe, will Lao Tzu tell you that I am a traverser, do you know some problems that happened afterwards?" Zhu Ke thought.

The image of Spider-Man is indeed very important!

For example, after the success of Fox's "Fantastic Four 1", Marvel once proposed to Fox to increase its box office share, but it was rejected.

However, what does Marvel do?

Well, if you don't add money to me, then I will blacken them all in the comics of Fantastic Four.

The hero turns into a villain!

The bad is thorough.

The bad kind of pus!

Not only that, but also write them all dead!

As a result, "Fantastic Four" made many American audiences extremely disgusted, resulting in the extremely dismal box office of "Fantastic Four 2", causing huge losses, and the planned third and fourth parts were still dead.

"I have to say that Marvel is ruthless!"

Zhuke knows this piece of information in the future, so of course he can't give Marvel the opportunity.

Of course Zhuke is very happy to take the copyright to Spider-Man.

Even if it costs 9 million US dollars, once you think about the future of "Spider-Man", the extra 2 million US dollars will be ignored.

but.

Now comes the problem!

Zhu Ke's current working capital is only more than 3 million U.S. dollars, and he still owes a large sum of money to the bank, where there are hundreds of millions of dollars to film "Spider-Man."

"It seems that I can't be lazy next, I have to find a way to get some money!"

That night.

When Zhuke finished eating at home, he accidentally received a call.

"Zuke Wald?"

The voice on the phone was a male, and the tone was not very friendly.

"I am, who are you? I tell you, I have no wife and no son. If you kidnapped my son, just tear up the ticket. If you say I won the lottery, then I must tell you that I am this year In just three months, I have won two refrigerators, three microwave ovens, three Mercedes-Benz, five BMW cars, and a cash prize of US$270 million. Well, you go on to say, what am I in this time?"

Zhu Ke babbled non-stop.

Since you have a bad tone, don't expect Lao Tzu to have a good tone.

Look at Laozi bragging about you!

"Mr. Wald, please don't be joking!" the man on the phone said, suppressing his anger.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke curled his lips disdainfully: "Then you tell me."

"Mr. Wald, introduce myself. My name is Kenta Dwight. I work for MGM Pictures and serve as the deputy production manager."

"Oh? What then?"

"I know that you have taken the copyright to Spider-Man. Now you can sell it to us. Of course, MGM will not let you lose. How about $9.1 million? You made $100,000."

Hearing what he said, Zhuke laughed out on the spot.

Man, that's Spiderman!

You send a beggar!

Not to mention adding 100,000 US dollars, even adding 10 million US dollars, Zhu Ke will not sell!

Think about it, as long as "Spider-Man" is successfully released, then the profit brought to Zhuke is calculated in billions of dollars!

"My friend, how many dishes do you want to drink tonight?" Zhu Ke said with disdain.

The man on the phone was taken aback.

"What do you mean?" the man questioned.

"Haha! I mean to let you go! I should go to bed early when I get older, I don't have the time to chat with you."

After Zhuke finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

How about you being MGM?

Although the current MGM is still known as a big company, it only has the shell of a big company. Look at what good movies they have produced since the 1990s. Except for the only one or two movies, they also rely on 007 to survive. Up.

"Make you arrogant, when I get rich in the future, I will be the first to buy you, huh!"
