The Liar Who Invaded the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 752: 1 fresh trick, eat all over the sky
One week is sufficient, enough for the other shareholders of Hualong Pictures to make a decision.
Even President Li, who often questioned Mai Xiaoyu and believed that he had control of Hualong Pictures’ voice, agreed this time without objection.
Without him, you are profitable.
If the negotiation succeeds, it is gratifying that Moeren, Hualong Pictures and Disney will cooperate to create the Hollywood blockbusters "Alice in Wonderland" and "Wonderland" and obtain satisfactory global box office, but for those capitals For predators, the opportunity to cooperate with Disney is even more rare, even if the box office loses.
Of course, in their opinion, even if Mai Xiaoyu increases the investment cost after the cooperation from 100 million U.S. dollars per unit to 200 million U.S. dollars per unit, the possibility of box office loss is very small.
Not because Disney deliberately got in, but because Moe Ren never lost.
This negotiation is divided into two major stages.
The first stage is the most arduous and the most important. It requires Mai Xiaoyu to open a hole in the Disney film company and establish the possibility of subsequent negotiations.
In order to ensure the success of Mai Xiaoyu's trip to the United States, the other seven can be said to have people who have contributed.
Collect information about Disney, inquire about the progress of negotiations on the East China Sea Disney theme park, and arrange in advance for personnel familiar with American related businesses to fly to the United States, gather, prepare, and run-in at Hualong Pictures, only to wait for Mai Xiaoyu to arrive.
In these matters, they did more professionally than Mai Xiaoyu, and soon Mai Xiaoyu received a lot of information. The seven personnel dispatched after consultation are all experienced elite-level talents.
Mai Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to go to the United States. He first called Chen Aijun from the relevant department.
It was only in August that the tiger skins of others were used to make the second banner, and it was necessary to show it more or less so that when necessary in the future, the tiger skins would continue to be used as the banner.
"This is a normal business cooperation. Why are you telling me about this?"
"It was normal business behavior last time."
"Your last business behavior was mixed with some unstable means."
"Uh...maybe there will be this time."
Now Chen Aijun became interested: "Talk about it."
"If the negotiation is successful, I plan to have my sister starring. The Yankee will definitely object by then, but she is American."
"human rights!"
"People are not human rights, I didn't think so much. I just want to make a fuss about racial discrimination, to ensure that my sister becomes the lead actor smoothly. Well, by the way, it is also a publicity for the two films."
"You...Pharaoh is right, you really don't take the usual path. You called me, maybe you want us to come forward to help you facilitate the cooperation with Disney, right?"
"You overestimate yourself too much. It's not good to say that if you don't interfere, I'm 90% sure; if you get involved, this matter will probably hang."
Why do you do so many miscellaneous things in normal business dealings?
Really think that the relevant departments in the United States eat dry rice?
Mai Xiaoyu made this call to Chen Aijun, mainly to give a favor. Even if he doesn't say it now, when he does things in the United States in the future, if people want to get on the bus, they still don't need to buy a ticket. It is better to sell your personal affection in advance, so that you can continue to talk about it in the future.
Everything was ready, Mai Xiaoyu boarded the flight to the United States.
This time he went to Los Angeles with a lot of entourage.
On Mengren's side, he only brought bodyguard Ke Haoyi, and he originally had assistant Yu Ping, but he was topped by eva.
Eva is Lao Luo's secretary and personal bodyguard. On the one hand, he can play well. On the other hand, he has served as Lao Luo's secretary for many years.
In addition, Eva is beautiful and has a good aura. Generally speaking, it has more functions. It is practical and has a long face. Old Luo specially arranged for Mai Xiaoyu to serve as his secretary on this trip.
In addition to eva, there is Ye Chu.
Ye Chu has been studying in the United States for many years and has certain personal connections. Now he is an expert in film and television special effects production. If Disney uses technical barriers to Kamai Xiaoyu, Ye Chu can play a role.
Mai Xiaoyu was speechless for the kindness of Lao Luo and Ye Family.
He doesn't need it now, doesn't need it at all.
If eva can still be considered as a secretary and play some role, Ye Chu's side is afraid that it will not be used at all-technical negotiations are the content of the second stage.
And how he looked at it, Ye Chu seemed to come to make soy sauce.
Listen to what Ye Chu cares about.
"Mr. Mai, I have a girlfriend."
"Congratulations, on your condition, Ye Dashao, the girl who wants to be your girlfriend can be two miles away."
"Those are all on the scene, there will only be one true love. Although you have taken away my Miss Liu Tao, I still have to thank you for meeting her."
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Of course. If it weren't for your company's "Xian 3", which helped me build up the company's reputation, and many film and television crews asked us to be responsible for special effects production, I would not know her."
"Well, I wish you lovers will eventually get married, and don't worry about my bangs anymore."
"I still understand the truth about friends and wives not to be deceived, and my girlfriend... When I come back I will invite you to dinner, you remember to bring Miss Liu Tao, I will introduce her to you, you will be shocked when you see her of."
Mai Xiaoyu: "..."
The journey for more than ten hours went smoothly.
But after arriving in the United States, Mai Xiaoyu ran into trouble just after getting off the plane and before leaving the airport, and was invited to the small black room at Los Angeles International Airport.
The little black room is just a reference, it's not black inside. With the sufficient light in the room, he could clearly see the fBi agents who were entertaining him.
"Mr. Mai, what is your purpose in coming to America this time?"
"We need to check your luggage."
"How long are you going to stay?"
"Please cooperate..."
Cooperate?
Work with you a hammer!
Mai Xiaoyu looked at the Yankee in front of him speechlessly, like an fBi agent facing an enemy.
This is the side effect of "This Man From Earth".
A few months ago, in order to speculate on the movie, he remotely directed through the phone and hired local black people in Los Angeles to take to the streets to demonstrate, which almost led to the blooming of demonstrations in the United States.
Of course, this is not his credit, and he is not so capable. It is because too many people squeeze into his boat, and they don't make up for the ticket.
However, in the eyes of relevant US departments, the incident showed that he was not alone, nor was he fighting alone.
That is to say, cia investigated for several months, and found no evidence that he had contact with relevant foreign authorities. Only then did fBi come forward and get off the hook at the airport to question him in detail about the purpose of his trip.
Otherwise, he will either be arrested by fBi when he gets off the plane, or he will be refused entry directly.
Mai Xiaoyu sat there quietly, with Erlang's legs tilted up.
Opposite him, two fBi agents focused on him, and two fBi agents holding special instruments, carefully checking his salutes one by one.
"Hi, come see what this is?"
"Disney's invitation letter?"
"Business negotiation?"
"Oh, damn, I almost forgot, he got a business visa!"
"Mr. Mai, we need to know what you are negotiating with Disney."
"If you don't want to suffer, I suggest you better cooperate with us."
"His suggestion is good, otherwise you may be refused entry or thrown into jail."
"I promise you will regret it in that case."
...
Mai Xiaoyu raised his eyelids and said calmly: "I also give you a suggestion. You are now threatening me and it is illegal. Once I will sue you, you will lose!"
The United States excludes Chinese and discriminates against Chinese Americans, and the social status of Chinese Americans is very low. Most of the American police and fBi fishing and fishing law enforcement objects are of Chinese descent.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary Chinese to withstand the threat of fBi, but Mai Xiaoyu is different. In addition to holding the Disney invitation letter, Shi Hao, who came to pick up the plane, also found a lawyer as quickly as possible.
The intervention of the lawyer became the last straw to crush fBi.
"you can go now."
FBi had nothing but to give in and let Mai Xiaoyu leave.
However, Mai Xiaoyu left in no hurry, and bowed with a finger that was turned upside down: "Get me cleaned up."
"What did you say!"
"I said, what my things used to be, how they are restored to me now!"
"Humph!"
"Ok, then we'll see you in court." Mai Xiaoyu magically took out a mobile phone and handed it to the lawyer next to him. "Look at the contents, can you sue them in jail."
The four fBi agents were dumbfounded.
They checked Mai Xiaoyu's body with professional equipment just now. Without any electronic equipment, Mai Xiaoyu's Yali mobile phone was placed on the table. Why did she suddenly get a mobile phone out of her body?
Where did this phone come from?
Well, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that they rudely checked Mai Xiaoyu's salute and the words that scared Mai Xiaoyu were all photographed by the mobile phone!
The US legal provisions are very detailed and the enforcement effect is very strict. Lawyers can play a very important role...Of course, the most important thing is to have money.
Although Mai Xiaoyu is not an American, he has the money and can afford to pay the expensive attorneys' fees, so he has to hire a well-known American lawyer who specializes in litigation in this area. Even if the judge is biased towards fBi, Mai Xiaoyu still has mobile phone videos and recordings as evidence. It is really going to be a lawsuit, and he will win a lot.
And fBi won't make an appearance for the four agents, is it true that the video is p?
The four fBi agents gritted their posterior molars and did not say a word to clean up and salute Mai Xiaoyu.
"You still owe me an apology."
The four fBi agents were silent for a moment, and the leader said "I'm sorry" before Mai Xiaoyu left.
"Mr. Mai, what's the matter?"
Except for the airport, Ye Chu and others immediately gathered to ask questions. Mai Xiaoyu only said that it was a misunderstanding, and did not say much.
Everyone was at a loss, and only Shi Hao could vaguely guess something.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Mai Xiaoyu took a day off to take a jet lag. By the way, he learned that the preparatory work for "Twilight" had begun, and then he uncovered the juggling with Disney.
At first, Disney sent a legal adviser from the Legal Affairs Department to accuse Mengren of breach of contract and non-compliance with the contract. They wanted to terminate the contract to recover the authorization without refunding the money.
Hualong Pictures has long been prepared, and a number of American copyright lawyers specially hired to respond.
To the legal counsel, the copyright lawyer clearly pointed out that Mengren was only intentional and had not yet been put into practice, and there was no breach of contract. Even if the cute person actually invites Hollywood stars to star, it does not necessarily constitute a breach of contract.
The two sides argued, whether the argument was lively or not, but Mai Xiaoyu felt very bored.
However, the negotiation is a tug-of-war, and the two sides fight each other's patience at the negotiating table. In order to establish a park in the East China Sea, Disney has discussed with the East China Sea government for many years, but it hasn't been settled yet!
The two sides spent three days in this way, and the lawyers were very happy, because the longer they took, the more money they collected. But Mai Xiaoyu was very annoying, even if he didn't participate, he was still annoying.
He decided to cut the mess quickly, or follow his own routine: "Have you seen the script adapted by our company?"
"Does this question have anything to do with what we are talking about now?"
"Of course there is. The key to your dispute now is whether the two films our company plans to produce exceed your authorization. Are they suspected of infringement, right? You haven't read the script, so how do you make a judgment?"
This... is not the same thing, okay?
Disney's legal counsel and assistant glanced at each other and said, "In this case, we want to study the script."
"It's not that I won't show it to you, but...do you understand? Professional matters are left to professional people. Judging the pros and cons of a script is not within your professional scope."
"In this case~lightnovelpub.net~ next time we will invite a dedicated screenwriter to come."
"Don't be so troublesome. I can tell you now that this is "The Wizard of Oz" adapted from "The Adventures of Oz", which perfectly circumvents the copyright issue of "The Wizard of Oz"."
"I do not understand."
"It doesn't matter, you can just take my sentence back, someone in your company understands."
This is the crux of the problem.
Mai Xiaoyu's judgment of the situation is based on the premise that Disney is interested in "Magic Land and Wizardry". If people are not interested, then all judgments will be overturned, and this negotiation will also end in failure.
The negotiating team formed by seven predators-level lambs is to slowly grind out Disney's true purpose, and then focus on the negotiations. As a result, Mai Xiaoyu came up with such a trick, and all the efforts were in vain.
For this reason, they also contacted Mai Xiaoyu by telephone, saying that he was too impulsive, too rough, and could not hold his breath, turning the negotiation into a gambling.
However, two days later, the two sides met again.
The representative of Disney is still the legal counsel of Disney's legal affairs department, but besides his assistant, there are two more people in the company.
Hualong Pictures had already prepared here. In only five minutes, Mai Xiaoyu got the detailed identification information of these two people: George, the senior of Disney Pictures, and Debbie, the famous producer.
Ignoring the babble of the legal adviser, Mai Xiaoyu took out the script of "Magic Land and Wizardry" and pushed it directly in front of the two of them: "Mr. George, Ms. Debbie, I am a cute film and television Mai Xiaoyu. I am very happy to meet the two. Bit."
