DreamWorks ended its cooperation with Paramount in 2009 and switched to Disney. Starting this year, all DreamWorks movies will be distributed and promoted by Disney.

Cheng Yuan has a very good relationship with DreamWorks.

Outsiders say he is equivalent to half the boss of DreamWorks Animation.

Because he holds more than 30% of the copyright of the entire "Kung Fu Panda" series, and has a priority investment agreement for 10 future animated films from DreamWorks Animation - there are currently 9 films left, Cheng Yu'an invested in "How to Train Your Dragon".

Katzenberg has defrauded investors all over the world, and now he is trying to steal Cheng Yu'an, a Chinese rich man - the exclusivity of investment. In "Kung Fu Panda" and these 10 animated movies, except for Cheng Yu'an, DreamWorks

Animation cannot accept money from other investors in China.

Because Disney had previously collaborated with Cheng Yu'an on "Tron: Legacy", it also knew that Cheng Yu'an was generous, and the two families hit it off and traveled thousands of miles to China to worship (pian) code (tou) head (zi).

Katzenberg and Disney China Senior Vice President Tang Jun came to see Cheng Yuan remotely.

Both are industry giants, and their every move attracts the attention of the industry.

The two of them entered the remote media office building first, and the news report came out later:

"DreamWorks President Katzenberg and Disney China head Tang Jun arrived in Beijing today and may start a new cooperation with Cheng Yu'an."

The outside world looked at the excitement, but in fact Cheng Yu'an, as the person involved, wanted to scold her: "There must be some project that I am not sure about, and they want to get me on board and defraud me of my money."

Hollywood is so stupid that it will give you projects that are obviously going to make money?

Will DreamWorks bring out "Shrek"?

Will Disney give away their princess line to others?

Don't talk about picking up the slack. If you make money with the first movie in a series, you will be kicked out of the second movie.

If the investment contract for "Kung Fu Panda" hadn't been signed too tightly, DreamWorks would have kicked Cheng Yuan out long ago.

These two people definitely didn't hold their shit in well today.

But the outside world doesn’t see it that way.

DreamWorks and Disney visited Cheng Yuan together. The three of them will definitely make big moves in Hollywood!

This is indeed the case. The two companies have brought a new movie with Cheng Yuan - "Iron Fist".

A story about robot boxing.

Remote Control attached great importance to the arrival of the two and sent the strongest lineup to receive them. In addition to Cheng's aunt and nephew, Remote Control Overseas Business Department President and Film Business Department President Chen Zhixi and Special Effects Director Qin Ranqiu all appeared in the conference room.

Even the brilliant Liu Song came over.

Everyone wants to see what they have planned this time.

"Cheng, this movie is directed by Sean Levy and stars Hugh Jackman. It has very good profit prospects." Katzenberg explained to the remote crowd with the script and robot concept drawings prepared in advance, "Screenwriter

John Gatins is the best screenwriter for sports movies in Hollywood."

Cheng Yuan felt sad: "Can you come to me to make money?"

Cheng Yu'an flipped through the script and took a look. It had a typical three-act play structure, plus Hollywood's eternal family affection, love, dreams and so on, and made it more sensational.

If you want to defraud Cheng Yu'an of money, then Cheng Yu'an will have to argue: "But this story is too cliche. Charlie is frustrated, and after training, the strong man returns and defeats the villain, and at the same time heals the relationship between father and son. Such a story

I can write one a day."

"Director Cheng," Tang Jun said, "The story is not necessarily new, it is cliché, but it also means that many people will watch it and accept it. Coupled with the exciting action scenes, "Iron Armor Steel Fist" is well worth making.

"

"Hugh Jackman is the world's top action star, and he has a very strong box office appeal. Sean Levy is the director of "Night at the Museum," and his abilities are obvious to audiences around the world."

"I don't doubt the abilities of Hugh Jackman and Sean Levy, I'm just saying whether such a story can attract the audience to buy tickets. With all due respect, at least domestic audiences are not very interested in sports themes, and Sean Levy

Wei has almost no appeal in China, and domestic audiences may not be happy with Hugh Jackman's departure from Wolverine. I can predict that this movie will not be too high at the box office in the domestic market."

Cheng Yu'an spoke very directly. After all, he had to shell out tens of millions in real money.

After speaking, Cheng Yu'an picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of water, waiting for the other party's reply.

Tang Jun said: "But Disney has global promotion capabilities, so it shouldn't be difficult to make profits domestically. In the international market, Hugh Jackman can definitely leverage a lot of box office."

Nothing to say, it belongs to yes.

Cheng Yuan finally said: "I like the special effects of this film very much. If you two accept it, I can invest 20 million to buy out the domestic profits."

"Dollar?"

"RMB."

Sending beggars away!

20 million yuan, less than 4 million US dollars, DreamWorks lacks your money?

This price obviously cannot satisfy Disney and DreamWorks.

Cheng Yu'an continued: "To be honest, I am not very optimistic about this project. It is difficult for this movie to make money at the box office. However, if we can participate in DVD, new media and peripheral sharing, then I am willing to increase investment."

Tang Jun felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

The box office revenue of Hollywood movies usually only accounts for about 1/3 of the total revenue, with most of it being copyright revenue. It is difficult for DreamWorks and Disney to share this profit with Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an said: "My plans are these two. I will invest 4 million US dollars to buy out the domestic box office revenue, or I will invest 20 million US dollars, allowing me to participate in the global full copyright sharing, and I have to give priority to the payment."

Katzenberg and Tang Jun are in a dilemma. Katzenberg has the authority to agree to Cheng Yuan's second plan, but Tang Jun cannot.

"Director Cheng, I have to discuss this matter with the headquarters before I can give you an answer." Tang Jun said.

"Of course." Cheng Yu'an agreed.

The two sides talked about other things, and Tang Jun and Katzenberg left.

After the two left, Chen Zhixi said to Cheng Yu'an: "Promise them. I don't know how many people outside will envy us if we can participate in such a project."

Cheng Yu'an shook his head: "You can't agree casually. This movie will be a waste if you put it in. DreamWorks will eat all your bones."

"How many people want to be eaten but don't know how to do it?"

"That's the problem. They are too weak in front of Hollywood. It's obvious that Katzenberg is here to cheat money. If you don't bargain with him, they think you're easy to bully."

"Don't be polite to them. You can ask for as much as you want. If you don't fight with them with bayonets, they will really dare to sit on your neck and shit."

"Then you are not afraid that they will find someone else?"

"There are thresholds for giving money. Do you think Disney and DreamWorks will accept any money? Just look at it. Domestic companies will have to come to me sooner or later if they want to give money." Cheng Yu'an was a little disdainful of the movie "Iron Armor", but that didn't mean that

It doesn't stop him from making money from this movie.

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu'an had another idea: "If it doesn't work out, I'll introduce Katzenberg to the Koreans."

Chen Zhixi knew what his intention was as soon as he heard it: "The bad thing is you."

"How can this be called bad? I just earn some hard-earned money in the middle of the introduction fee. Koreans are not short of this money. CJ still calls me every ten days and a half to thank me for leading them to invest in "Tron: War"
