MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1713 Stand up
""kungfu Panda"?"
Li Mu was startled by Spielberg's words.
He thought that it would take at least two or three years for "Kung Fu Panda" to come out, but he did not expect that DreamWorks had already started the art design related work of "Kung Fu Panda" since last year, which means that the entire "Kung Fu Panda" The project is not just on paper, it is likely that it has been finalized throughout.
Li Mu hurriedly asked him: "Stephen, can you tell me the story setting of" Kung Fu Panda "?"
Spielberg said with a smile: "Kung Fu Panda" is an animated movie with Chinese culture as its background. The protagonist of the story is Huaxia's unique national treasure panda. In our movie, the protagonist is an obsession with Kung Fu. "The panda accidentally got involved in a martial arts dispute and eventually became a master of martial arts."
Li Mu smiled and asked him: "Is the character designed?"
"Not yet." Spielberg said: "We are mainly working on the scene design of the movie, because we need to have full Chinese elements, so our art team is looking for suitable landscape materials everywhere in Huaxia, and when they return, they will Start working on character design. "
Li Mu said, "I don't think you need to bother anymore. I will directly use the image of the panda bear for you and let the panda bear play your Kung Fu Panda. What do you think?"
"Panda bear?" Spielberg exclaimed, "Oh my God! Why didn't I remember this!"
As he said, his voice was full of joy, saying: "If we use panda bears, it will be of great benefit to both of us. Not only can we directly use the fan base of panda bears, but we can also create enough background stories for panda bears."
Li Mu admired that Spielberg's eyes were really poisonous, and he saw where the pain points of both sides were.
For DreamWorks, to create a brand new story, the story itself has no foundation, and there will not be any fan base. The only thing that can gather fans is DreamWorks' own fame, but if you give this story a powerful The setting of fan base, then this story naturally has a strong fan base.
Panda bear has hundreds of millions of fans around the world. If it can really use this image to create this movie, as long as the news is released, I am afraid that there will be countless people waiting to see it in the cinema.
Just as Spielberg wanted to promise immediately, he suddenly realized a serious problem.
copyright.
If DreamWorks independently develops "Kung Fu Panda" according to the original plan, then there is no doubt that all copyrights of this entire movie belong to DreamWorks itself, especially the protagonist Panda itself, and it is a large copyright that can be developed on a large scale. However, if you cooperate with Li Mu, then the most important copyright of the protagonist of "Kung Fu Panda" is Li Mu's. Can't the core character's copyright be in his own hands? Then their own derived value will be castrated.
Thinking of this, Spielberg hurriedly asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, if we cooperate, what should we do with the copyright issue?"
Li Mu said, "First of all, I authorized the image copyright of panda bear for you for free. At the same time, I do n’t pay for your box office income, and I can give you three big movie licenses at one time. This is free, but the copyright issue, this The copyright of this movie belongs to you, all the characters in this movie belong to you, but the copyright of panda bear belongs to me. "
Spielberg hesitated for a moment.
As a successful Jewish businessman, he was very sensitive to the distribution of rights and interests. Although Li Mu gave away the copyright free of charge, and was not divided from the box office, or even authorized three movies at one time, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because he knew that If you lose the copyright of the core protagonist, the copyright of other characters will lose the value of development.
For example, if you want to cooperate with Universal Studios to build a "Kung Fu Panda" venue, but you don't own the copyright of Kung Fu Panda's main character, Panda Bear, how can this venue go on? Even if they do, the guests will be very depressed, right?
Thinking of this, Spielberg couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, if we don't have the copyright of the protagonist, we will lose too much ..."
Li Mu asked: "Your losses? Stephen, you ca n’t just think about what you lost, not what you got. The image of the panda bear is licensed to you. How much extra income can you create at the box office? Have you thought about it? With the development of "Kung Fu Panda", can the global box office reach 400 million or 500 million US dollars? "
Spielberg said embarrassingly: "This is not certain, the global box office of $ 4 billion to $ 5 billion has been very successful."
Li Mu asked: "If you have the image of a panda bear, is it still a problem at the global box office of $ 4.5 billion?"
"This ..." Spielberg meditated suddenly.
Li Mu said at this time: "If you originally made three movies and got a billion dollar box office, then I believe that if you switch to panda bear as the protagonist, your three movie box offices will add up to at least 1.5 billion dollars I didn't say that I would share your money. "
Speaking, Li Mu's tone became more serious, saying: "Stephen, sometimes, it is not suitable to be a 100 businessman, just like our previous cooperations. I work with you and treat you as a friend, so You want to work with me on the Muying ticketing system. I immediately promised you. Did I complain to you that you would share my profit? "
Spielberg's voice was immediately tense, and he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Li, you misunderstood. I don't mean it. I also treat you as a friend, but I just didn't turn my head. I'm really sorry."
Speaking, Spielberg hurriedly said, "Then you follow the way you just said, you have licensed us the copyright of Panda Bear, and we will use it as the protagonist of Kung Fu Panda."
Li Mu's voice was a bit cold, and he said, "Stephen, I have changed my mind a bit. Why not? The other conditions remain the same. I think this movie is 0."
Recognizing 0 is to account for 0. In the future, after the film's box office income, Li Mu will also take 0. For a project that is not sure whether it can make money, it is good for someone to vote, but for a person who can determine 100 to make money It is embarrassing for some people to vote for the project, which means that they just want to eat while holding a cake.
However, Spielberg could not refuse.
He had realized in his mind that Li Mu was annoyed at his jealousy.
He did have some regrets. He should not hesitate to think about it, and he revealed to Li Mu the essence of being a businessman.
Now, Li Mu seems to have a lot of opinions on himself.
Spielberg did not expect that he was a lot of years old and was still controlled by the emotions of a young man, but there was no way. The nature of the businessman's profit-seeking, even if he has billions of net worth, he still desires more benefits Li Mu, on the other hand, represents more and greater benefits, and in no case can he lose this most rare resource line.
So even though his heart was bleeding, he agreed without hesitation and said, "Mr. Li, come as you say, I have no opinion."
"Um." Li Mu was only slightly satisfied. He coughed and said to Spielberg: "There is an old saying in China that people respect me, I respect people, and the relationship between the ruler and the ruler. The latter is ten times the former. "
Spielberg said immediately: "I understand what you mean, please rest assured, I will remember this sentence in the future."
Li Mu said aloud, and thought to himself that the old Hollywood artist of Dexin Shuangxin couldn't escape the essence of a businessman. In the face of such a pure businessman, "dad" had nothing to do with age, but only the amount of money.
Immediately, Li Mu said, "So, tomorrow, you will send someone to Huaxia and bring the book, and tell me the story setting and worldview background setting of the story in person, and by the way, bring the contract for investment , If there is no problem, sign the contract. "
In fact, Li Mu knows the story background and plot setting of "Kung Fu Panda", but the reason why he asked Spielberg to send someone ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ come from the United States not far away to introduce himself in person, in order to set aside Put on the shelf of the big guy.
Li Mu even felt that he seemed to be too "approachable" to Spielberg before, so that he really regarded himself as the same class. When talking about such a trivial matter, he still had to worry about himself and had to stand up. Let him know that he and he are not a class at all.
Whenever he still wants to make money with himself, or set up his own resource line, no matter how old or old the artist is, he must honestly put away the corners and abacus for himself, otherwise, immediately stop all future cooperation and turn to support His competitors make him uncomfortable.
Spielberg's mind made a lot of money. When he heard that Li Mu was going to send a person by himself, he immediately said, "Mr. Li, or I'll go there tomorrow!"
Li Mu fake asked: "Aren't you busy in the late stage of" Flying Tigers "? Do you have time to come? If you don't have time, just send someone here. This is a small matter, and you don't need to run it yourself."
Spielberg dared to borrow the donkey at this time, and said very firmly immediately, "You can rest assured that I have time, and I don't need to keep my eyes on the later things."
Speaking of this, Spielberg said again, "I will rush over as early as possible tomorrow, and strive to meet you in Yanjing in 24 hours."
"it is good."
Speaking of this, Li Mu naturally wouldn't fake him any more. Dang Yi even said faintly: "If it is landed in Yanjing during working hours, go directly to Makino Technology."
Under normal circumstances, Li Mu will definitely arrange Makino's convoy to the airport to greet him, but now that he has made himself unhappy, there is no treatment whatsoever, and he will find a way to come over!
