Hollywood Starts with Animation
Chapter 19
A few days later.
After accepting Zhu Ke''s entrustment, the negotiation expert Kang Di, however.
At this time, Columbia was acquired by Sony Pictures, which led to the abortion of the shooting plan. Later, MGM acquired part of 20th Century Fox''s assets, including spider man''s script, but Columbia Pictures insisted that the copyright should belong to them.
Therefore, today''s "Spider Man" copyright, it has become a three-way fight for Zhuke, MGM, Sony!
"Kangdi, Lawyer Zhang, even if Sony and MGM join in, it''s just a matter of price. We have nothing to worry about." Zucker gritted his teeth.
That said, but the move of Zhuke undoubtedly offended the two giant companies.
MGM and Columbia are very influential companies in Hollywood or around the world. As long as they do a little bit on the issue of media and cinema distribution, they can make Zhuke''s Wald film industry difficult.
"Hum!"
"I don''t believe in this evil!"
Even if you''re a big company, so what?
I''m not afraid to offend you. After all, it''s spider man!
.......
Ten days later.
The copyright of spider man has finally settled!
Zucker won the rights to Spiderman for $9 million.
Compared with Sony in history, it paid 2 million more.
Of course, Zhuke won not only the copyright of Spiderman, but also the copyright of cartoon characters related to Spiderman, such as venom, octopus doctor, vulture, mystery guest, etc., which can be adapted at will. Marvel only provides some creative control on this basis, so as to avoid conflicts with MCU storyline.
But there is another key point in the contract.
"In the follow-up, marvel has the final veto over the image of spider man, including the comic plot, and vold pictures of Zucker."
On this issue, the shareholders of marvel, even Victor, CEO of Wald pictures, are puzzled.
"Ha ha, will Laozi tell you that I am a passer-by, and do you know what happened later?" Chuck thought.
The image of spiderman is very important indeed!
For example: after the success of fox''s "magic four 1", marvel once proposed to fox to increase its box office share, which was rejected.
However, how does Marvel do it?
OK, if you don''t give me more money, I''ll blacken them all in the comic books of the magic four.
Heroes become villains!
It''s completely bad.
The bad one with pus!
Not only that, but also write them all to death!
As a result, the magic four has made many American audiences extremely disgusted, resulting in the dismal box office of the magic four 2, resulting in a huge loss. The planned third and fourth films have died.
"I have to say that marvel is tough enough, too!"
If Zhuke knows this information in the future, he certainly can''t give Marvel a chance to take advantage of it.
Of course, Zhuke is very happy to win the copyright of spider man.
Even if it costs $9 million, once you think about the future of spider man, you don''t care about the extra $2 million.
But.
Now the problem!
Zucker''s current working capital is only more than $3 million, and he still owes a lot of money to the bank. Where can he get hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot 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 received a phone call by accident.
"Jack Wald, isn''t he?"
The voice from the phone was a man, and the tone was not very friendly.
"I am, who are you? I tell you, I have no wife and no son. If you say you kidnapped my son, just tear up the ticket. If you say I won the prize, I have to tell you that in just three months this year, I have won two refrigerators, three microwave ovens, three benzs, five BMWs, and a cash prize of $270 million. Well, you go on, "what did I win this time?"
Zhuke kept on talking.
Since your tone is not good, don''t expect me to have a good tone.
I''ll blow you to death!
"Mr. Wald, please don''t be kidding!" The man on the phone said, suppressing his anger.
Smell speech, Zhu Ke disdained ground to curl a mouth: "that you say."
"Mr. ward, I''d like to introduce myself. My name is Kenta Dwight. I work for MGM pictures as the deputy manager of production department."
"Oh? And then what? "
"I know you won the copyright of spider man. Now you can sell it to us. Of course, MGM will not let you lose. How about $9.1 million? You made 100000 dollars. "
Hearing what he said, Zhuke laughed on the spot.
Man, that''s spider man!
You send beggars!
Not to mention adding $100000, even if you add $10 million, Zhuke will not sell it!
Think about it, as long as "Spider Man" is successfully released, the profit to Zhuke will be calculated in billions of dollars!
"My friend, how many dishes do you have tonight? How about this?" Chuck said scornfully.
The man on the phone was stunned.
"What do you mean?" The man doubts a way.
"Ha ha! I mean to let you go! When you are old, you should go to bed early. I don''t have time to chat with you. "
When Zhuke finished, he hung up.
Are you MGM?
Now, although MGM is still known as a big company, it only has the shell of a big company. After the 1990s, what good movies have they made? In addition to the only one or two movies, they rely on 007 to survive.
"Let you be arrogant. When I have money, I will be the first to buy you. Hum!"
