After Cheng Yuan finished most of his trip, he went to Disney headquarters.

Disney wants the amusement park rights to animations such as "Despicable Me", "Zootopia" and "The Secret Life of Pets" held by Cheng Yu'an.

They want to further enrich the Disney amusement park projects, so it is reasonable to focus on the copyright held by Cheng Yuan.

But if Disney wants Cheng Yu'an's copyright authorization, it doesn't just have to get Cheng Yu'an alone, it also has to get Universal.

Cheng Yuan not only holds the animation copyright from a major animation company, he also owns 30% of the copyright for the entire "Kung Fu Panda" series across all channels.

Universal bought out the investment agreement in his hands at that time, but Cheng Yuan refused to sell the 30% copyright.

Universal has been looking for opportunities to recoup this 30% in the past few years, and the prices offered have become higher and higher every time, but Cheng Yu'an remains unmoved.

There is no shortage of money, so why sell?

The animation peripherals of a major animation company have been operated by Universal in the early years, and it was only 15 years later that the new work was handed over to Disney.

Although the copyrights of these works are not owned by Universal, Disney wanted to bypass Universal and talk to Cheng Yu'an about the amusement park project alone, but Universal was the first to refuse.

Without him, Universal also has its own amusement park, and they also need Cheng Yu'an's authorization. Especially since the Universal Studios in Beijing has officially started construction, they are bound to win the animation copyright from Cheng Yu'an.

As for why not give it to Fantawild who has cooperated with Yuanyuan?

Fantawild also needs to be strong enough to acquire the global IP of "Despicable Me". What does Fantawild want from Cheng Yu'an's authorization?

Today's negotiations were a bit dry. Disney played the emotional card and kept emphasizing how good the cooperation between Disney and Cheng Yu'an was. This is indeed true, otherwise Disney would not have given "The Lion King", "Aladdin" and "Mulan" to Cheng Yu'an.

.

In fact, licensing to Disney will definitely bring a lot of profit to the company, but Universal must also consider it.

Who is Comcast now on the board of a major movie company?

Although there is no organizational relationship between a major animation company and a major film company.

But Cheng Yuan considers the problem more from a balanced perspective.

Both theme parks are very strong, and they will be able to license them to anyone.

But Disney has already obtained the global distribution rights for a major animation company's films, as well as the operating rights for all animation peripherals after 15 years.

He can't let the Disney family become too powerful here.

Therefore, he prefers Global in his heart.

Besides, Disney has already made a brilliant move, will Universal still be reluctant to bid?

Why don't you kill the whole world?

The one with the highest price wins, and the seller never loses.

This trick is simple, but it has worked for thousands of years!

After leaving Disney, the representative from Universal went to the hotel the next day to have a meeting with Cheng Yuan and the copyright director of a major animation company to discuss copyright matters.

Although Universal withdrew Cheng Yu'an's investment agreement in DreamWorks, the cooperative relationship between the two companies was not completely interrupted.

Some of the films of a major film company are still distributed by Universal, and the authorization for animation peripherals has not yet expired - the 10-year peripheral development authorization signed in 2010 for the first "Despicable Me" is still 2 years away.

Expect.

Universal obviously knows that Disney is also interested in the copyright of Cheng Yu'an's animation, so in today's negotiation, Tom Williams, chairman of Universal Theme Parks and Resorts Group, personally discussed with Cheng Yu'an's team.

The price offered increased by 2.7% compared with the previous price, but it was still a little short of the psychological price of Cheng Yu'an's team.

Cheng Yuan reminded Tom Williams that he would return to China in two days.

If we want to talk in the future, China and the United States will have to go to both sides, and the time cost will be very high.

But Tom Williams was obviously not frightened by such a low-level trick, and he still talked step by step.

For such big guys, traveling back and forth between the two countries is just a matter of taking a few more flights. Anyway, they spend at least 200 days a year on planes.

Cheng Yu'an did not break his promise, and two days later, he actually returned to China with his daughter.

The little guy didn't stop on the plane, even if she wanted to sleep, and played all the way with the stewardess on the plane.

I finally fell asleep two hours before the plane landed. The landing time was 10 a.m. Beijing time.

It's over, I can't sleep again at night, I have to torment Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an left the airport with her sleeping daughter in her arms and got into the driver's car: "Go home."

When I got home, I put my daughter back on the bed.

"You should also go back and rest." Cheng Yu'an said to his assistant, "You have worked hard these days."

After sending the assistant away, Cheng Yu'an could take a break.

When I turned on my phone to browse the news, Yang Mi was on the hot search list.

Fraudulent donation!

I promised to donate for 15 years, but now three years have passed, and the media found out that I have not given anything.

Although Yang Mi immediately apologized and made a supplementary donation, netizens did not let her go.

"Get on the bus first and then pay for the ticket. If you don't expose it, you won't donate it."

This was even named by the official media on Weibo.

Although the impact cannot be said to be bad, it did cause some adverse consequences for Yang Mi, at least Estee Lauder's endorsement was lost.

Coupled with the public relations measures taken by her team to ban accounts and delete posts on Weibo when the incident broke out, netizens became even more unfavorable towards Yang Mi, who was already dressed in black.

Cheng Yu'an had a little understanding of the overall situation. Judging from the current news, it should be caused by poor communication between Jiaxing and the charity partners, but Yang Mi and Jiaxing were responsible for 70% of the blame.

After all, they are donors and have the responsibility and obligation to proactively follow up on this matter. They cannot delay the promised work for more than two or three years because of poor communication.

It was originally a good thing, and the total cost was only 500,000. You should donate it in time. Whether it is for show or sincerely, if you do good deeds with real money, you will always get a good reputation.

It's not like now, when a good hand of cards is played to pieces.

This is why Cheng Yu'an personally and remotely charity funds never do charity work with so-called middlemen. Who knows what may go wrong in the middle and ruin a good thing.

Cheng Yu'an's charity projects are directly managed by dedicated personnel, and the funds are donated directly by Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei themselves.

Direct donations may not be as much as those raised from various sources by external charity funds, but at least the money can be actually used to those in need.

"What the hell is this?" Cheng Yu'an muttered after reading Yang Mi's report.

Because her daughter is sleeping at home, Cheng Yuan cannot go out for the time being.

I worked at home until noon while my daughter was still sleeping.

In order to maintain energy to cope with the little one's troubles at night, Cheng Yu'an lay down next to her daughter and fell asleep after lunch.

Get up and continue working.

Next year's 70th anniversary, "My Motherland and Me" has to be arranged.

I'm sorry, Director Kaige. It's not that you are bad, it's that I have a better choice - Zhang Yimou, who just won the Oscar for Best Picture, is definitely the best choice for the chief director.

In addition, he is the chief planner of the film, and he is confident that he will hang Shanghai Film Group's "The Climber" next year. This film is already in preparation, but the specific name is not yet known. All he knows is that Shanghai Film Group is going to make one.
Chapter completed!
