Hollywood starts with animation

After the problems of James and Charlize were resolved, Zhu Kecai and Victor began to discuss things about Teletubbies.

"Boss, the person who contacted me was Smith, the Minister of the Content Department of the British BBC Broadcasting Corporation, and their attitude was very clear. They asked us to come to London as soon as possible to discuss copyright development with them."

In fact, Victor is full of doubts now.

Own boss Niu break!

Wald Pictures’ first movie "Running Laura" has not been released yet, and it has something to do with a behemoth like the BBC, which is incredible.

"Wait a minute, don't get excited. You just said that they are more anxious?" Zhu Ke interrupted suddenly.

"Uh......"

Victor froze for a moment, and then said: "Yes, although Smith's tone is very calm, but as the head of the BBC content department, he can call him in person, which in itself is very telling. And... .."

Suddenly, Victor became mysterious.

"And what? Just say it, don't sell it to me." Zhu Ke scolded with a smile.

"Boss, it's like this. I have a good friend who works for the BBC Broadcasting Company and is responsible for the maintenance of information equipment. After I hung up the phone in the UK, I asked him sideways. He happened to know something and he told me , The BBC is cooperating with a European rag doll production company to produce an early childhood education drama series. Coincidentally, its content is surprisingly similar to the "Teletubbies" that we have registered the copyright worldwide. Similarly, the title of the episode is tentatively set as "Teletubbies"."

This incident has to be said to be a coincidence.

Well, this is for Victor.

For Zhu Ke, what he has in his heart is definitely not a coincidence, but a joy!

Why?

Because the drama "Teletubbies", in the original time and space, was completed by the ragdoll production company and the BBC broadcasting company.

"Fuck! Fortunately, I first registered the global copyright, otherwise the gold mine will be gone. And I guess the people at the BBC Broadcasting Company and the Ragdoll Company at this moment must be stunned." Zhu Ke thought like a thief. Tao.

The fact is also true.

In fact, the Ragdoll Company and the BBC Broadcasting Company have completed one-fifth of the content of "Teletubbies" and are planning to determine the broadcast date and copyright registration.However, when they submitted the application materials to the Copyright Office, they were told that they could not be approved. Someone registered a similar copyright as early as 40 days ago.

They are trapped!

BBC: "......"

Ragdoll:"......."

In the face of Zhuke’s shamelessness, oh no, it’s Zhuke’s copyright. The two companies can only contact Zhuke through gritted teeth. After all, they have invested a lot of pounds in the "Teletubbies" project and are extremely optimistic about this project. It is obviously impossible to let them give up now.

"Victor, you immediately arrange for someone to contact them first and explore their bottom line. After a while, I will go to London with you personally." Zhu Ke ordered.

"Okay, boss." Victor arranged for someone immediately.

In the face of the fat delivered to the door, Zhuke must slaughter him.

Well, you said that Zhu Kewu has robbed others' achievements and has to collect high copyright taxes, which is very shameless.

Yes, you are right.

Zhuke never thinks he is a good person, and people don't die for himself.Moreover, Zhu Ke did not take it as a shame for the act of snatching the copyright of the British guy, but felt it was a supreme honor.Mom and Dad, I won glory for the country!

The story of "Teletubbies" came to an end for a while, but the release of "Lola Run" ran into problems.

"Victor, are you saying that "Run Lola", which was originally scheduled to be released on April 12th, was made difficult by the theaters, and did MGM exert an influence on the theaters?"

Zhu Ke frowned.

"Yes, boss. At the beginning of the period, through Wald Pictures and some of my previous relationships, I have initially negotiated 315 screens on the premiere day. I will make adjustments based on the box office results later; but today, I After receiving a call, many of their movie theaters have closed my screens, and now there are only 120 screens left, and it is estimated that there will be fewer screens."

Speaking of this, Victor was really angry.

Too annoying!

Talking doesn't count!

It's almost time to sign the theater share contract, and even regretted it.

As the CEO of Wald Pictures, he operated and released the first cinematic film. I wanted to show my abilities in front of the boss, but who the hell knew there was a moth? You are not angry.If it weren't for one of the well-connected theater managers, he revealed the existence of MGM, and Victor wouldn't know what was going on.

Damn MGM!

~~!

Hearing this, Zhu Keqiang endured his anger, tapped his fingers on the desk repeatedly, and groaned: "Victor, you try to contact the theaters again to see if you can add more screens. I called to ask. John Lasseter, see if he can help."

"Okay, boss."

Do whatever it takes, even if Victor gets up and leaves, he intends to go to the theater to communicate in person.

And Zhuke also contacted Lasseter for the first time.

Although John Lasseter is also a newcomer to Hollywood, he is the first of Pixar's Five Tigers, and he is also the director of "Toy Story", a film that won the 95th box office. His face in theaters is more than that of Wald. Karma is much easier to use.

.......

"Zuke, you said MGM was doing the trick"

"Need my help?"

"Help, I will definitely help."

"My dear friend, don't worry, your business is mine, and I will help you figure out a solution."

Sure enough, he still speaks of loyalty.After receiving Zhuke's call for help, John Lasseter agreed to help in one gulp, without any excuses or perfunctory words.

The reason why he helped, one is because Zhu Ke deliberately draws in on weekdays, and the two get along well;

Secondly, in the process of Pixar's listing and allotment, it was Zhu Ke who urged him to purchase the full allotment, which greatly increased his net worth.

......

Not long after, Old Billy, who was far away in Utah, also received a call from Zhuke.

His name is Billy Jarder, and he is the owner of a movie peripheral chain in Utah.Although his chain is not the largest in Utah, it is even less than the top five, with only 9 stores, but he has been operating in Utah for decades and is familiar with the directors of major theaters.

Zhu Ke did a good job with others on the peripheral authorization of "Toy Story", and communicated several times later, with some friendship.

"Zuke, you've found the right person for MGM's deception."

"It's right if you don't know, and I won't tell you, but it's enough for you to understand. I have an enemy with MGM, and they cheated me!"

"Don't worry, my old Billy dare not say anything else, but in Utah, I can still help."

After a day.

Through Victor's efforts again, and the help of Lasseter and Old Billy, "Run Lola Run" finally added some screens.

355 yuan.

That's right, it's 40 yuan more than the 315 screens originally planned.Of course, the premiere of the movie is not all in North America, but only in places like California and Utah.

Moreover, the premiere day of "Lola Run" changed from April 12th to April 5th.

In other words, it is less than two days before Zhuke's first film directed.
