Chapter 921: "Transformers" is done
Xiao Yunhai called Thrall yesterday and asked him to come over and talk about related issues about Transformers.
Thrall shook hands with him, smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, it has been almost three months since we left on the plane. You are really amazing now. You have become a public enemy of all American musicians just by releasing an album. Send another one, I'm afraid they will have to blast you out of America."
Xiao Yunhai made a gesture of please sit down, and said: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, let them go. Mr. Thrall, I won't say anything politely. I invite you over for "Transformers". Play. Now the movie is out, it’s on my computer, you can watch it."
When Thrall heard this, he said happily: "That's great."
Sitting in Xiao Yunhai’s boss chair, Thrall watched it earnestly for half an hour. He raised his head and said with surprise: "Mr. Xiao, this cartoon is really great. I feel that it is not only suitable for children, but also Suitable for us adults."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "I told you that once the time is right, "Transformers" will be made into a movie by me sooner or later. So, Mr. Thrall intends to introduce this cartoon?"
Thrall shook his head and said, "Not an introduction, but a buyout. I hope..."
When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he quickly interrupted his words and said, "Thar, don't mention the buyout. I will definitely not agree."
"Why? My price guarantee will satisfy you."
"It's not a question of money, but a question of our company's development. "Transformers" is very important to our Marvel Comics company. Recently, our work has been carried out entirely around it, so a buyout is absolutely impossible."
Xiao Yunhai's confidence in "Transformers" is not even a little bit. If it is bought out by Thrall, it would be broadcasted a thousand or ten thousand times on major television stations in the world, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yunhai. Such a loss-making business would not even kill Xiao Yunhai.
What's more, he had promised to give the "Transformers" cartoon to his uncle's Anhui TV station. Once it was given to Thrall, Xiao Yunhai could not explain it to his uncle.
Compared with family affection and money, Xiao Yunhai would choose the former without hesitation.
Thrall frowned and said, "I am willing to buy it out for 500 million dollars. Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, even if it's five billion, I won't sell it."
Thrall frowned and said, "Xiao, if you only sell the broadcasting rights, the price may not be so high according to the current market format."
Thrall was actually playing tricks just now. He knew very well that Xiao Yunhai would not agree to the buyout. He just said that on purpose just to make Xiao Yunhai feel a little apologetic, and then gain some psychological help in the next negotiation. Advantage.
Xiao Yunhai has some fans of the authorities, but Raul, who has been on the commercial battlefield, is insightful.
"Mr. Thrall, we are desperate for the cartoon "Transformers". For advertising alone, we are ready to invest more than 100 million US dollars. The toy factory is fully active and has already produced millions of Transformers toys. We are very confident about this cartoon. If you can't give us a better price, we can only apologize."
After Raul finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yunhai, worried that he would be dissatisfied with his interruption.
Xiao Yunhai naturally wouldn't mind these. Professional people should be responsible for professional matters. This is his creed.
Raul is obviously much better than himself in terms of negotiation. Of course, Xiao Yunhai will not have the slightest grudge. He first cast an admiring look at him, and then said to Thrall: "This is Raul, the actual person in charge of our company. .Before you come, I have given him the full power of "Transformers". Therefore, Thrall, please discuss the "Transformers" issue. I agree with all the decisions made by Raul. "
Thrall was shocked. He glanced at Raul, who was unsmiling, and felt that this person seemed a little difficult to deal with. He said, "It seems that Mr. Raul has the trust of Mr. Xiao."
Raul was very grateful for Xiao Yunhai's support, and said: "I'm just working hard for my boss. Mr. Thrall, our "Transformers"..."
Next, Raul and Thrall began to discuss the price of the broadcasting rights of "Transformers".
Xiao Yunhai looked at Raul, who was arguing with each other and arguing, and said in his heart: "It's really hard to look like. Raul usually looks like a boring gourd. I didn't expect that when he was on the court, his eloquence was so good. "
As the director of a private TV station, Thrall is a master negotiator, but it is clear that Raul has a slight upper hand this time.
The two argued for half an hour and finally reached an agreement.
Thrall used US$30 million to purchase the first-round broadcasting rights of "Transformers". If the ratings are good, under the same conditions, Marvel Comics will give priority to selling the broadcasting rights for the second, third and later rounds. give him.
However, the playback range is limited to the United States.
If it is based on Xiao Yunhai's idea, it is best to use advertising revenue instead of cash, like China TV. It's a pity that he just put forward this suggestion, before he finished speaking, he was strictly rejected by Thrall.
Xiao Yunhai sighed and had to do it.
After signing the contract, Xiao Yunhai shook hands with Thrall and said, "Thall, I wish we have a happy cooperation."
Thrall smiled and said, "Happy cooperation."
When he got into the car, Thrall glanced at Raul and said to Xiao Yunhai: "No wonder you will safely hand over Marvel to Mr. Raul, he is indeed a talent."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I think so too."
Xiao Yunhai only stayed in Los Angeles for half a day to deal with "Transformers" related matters, and then flew back to Hengdian in a hurry.
Hundreds of people in the entire crew were waiting there, and he didn't have much time to waste.
American Disney Pictures Headquarters
A middle-aged man in his forties was standing respectfully at Kestel’s desk, reporting to him about his work.
"Mr. Celtel, recently the Marvel Comics cartoon "Transformers" has been very publicized. The Internet, TV, and radio all have their shadows. Posters are posted everywhere. Roughly estimated, the publicity cost is invested. It’s no less than 100 million. And I heard that Marvel Toy Factory is rushing to make Transformers toys, and I seem to be very confident in this cartoon."
Kester took a sigh of cigar and said, "I didn’t expect Kung Fu Xiao to be so bold that he dared to put Bao on this "Transformers". Doesn’t he want to think that "Transformers" What happens if you fail?"
Middle-aged humanity: "Boss, animation enthusiasts and children on the Internet, after watching their trailer, most of them said they liked it very much~lightnovelpub.net~ I am looking forward to its broadcast. I am worried about Marvel. They will succeed. With their technology and strength in comics and animation, coupled with the funds behind Xiao, at that time, they may become our very powerful enemy."
Disney is the world's most famous action production company. Although it also involves the investment and shooting of other movies, animation has always been their trump card. Every year, more than a dozen major animated movies are released, and there are more cartoons.
And Marvel Comics is also engaged in the animation industry. The so-called so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the market is so big, once Marvel rises, it will inevitably threaten Disney's position. So, if you want to ask which Hollywood company is most concerned about Marvel, it must be them.
At the beginning, the decline of Marvel was probably due to Disney's secretive efforts.
In fact, since Xiao Yunhai entered Marvel, Disney has begun to pay attention to them.
