Bi Fang was stunned for a moment after receiving the invitation. Then he suddenly realized that more than a year had passed, another pure Spring Festival had passed, and his age on the screen had also changed to twenty-six.
After more than a year, starting from the acquisition of the copyright, it was really time to make something.
"I just have nothing to do, so I went over to take a look."
Disney originally spent 30 million to acquire the copyright, which included an animated film and three seasons of an animated series, as well as a series of peripherals derived from it. There was no follow-up share, which was equivalent to paying a one-time buyout of the copyright.
In terms of Bi Fang's reputation at that time, he had conducted four live broadcasts, and it had only been broadcast for half a year. It could only be regarded as showing off his prominence. Thirty million ugly gold was really a huge sum of money, and it directly provided the starting capital of the Wilderness Club.
Otherwise, it is still unknown when this project will be launched, or even whether it will exist.
It can be regarded as indirectly providing Bifang with ample wilderness points.
And even now, when Bi Fang is at its peak and has created an entrepreneurial chain, 30 million is still a lot.
At present, Bi Fang is often invited to be endorsed, and the promised numbers above are often in the hundreds of millions. It seems that he can easily make money just by showing up, but this is different from changes in events.
Changing a real case into a film and television drama is a very subtle thing in itself, and its copyright definition is very vague.
You can say yes, you can say no.
If you are more cheeky, you can completely ignore the so-called copyright issues, unless it involves peripherals, which may affect your portrait rights, but this is not a big deal in many cases.
Not all movies and animations can make money from peripherals.
Bi Fang opened the invitation letter and found that three tickets to Burbank, California were thoughtfully prepared at the back, obviously so that he could bring his friends with him.
As for Etienne, the other party must have sent it as a gift, but I don't know if he will encounter it.
If it's March, the other party should have already started school, right?
Bi Fang didn't know much about the French school system, but they didn't have Spring Festival, so theoretically they should be in school.
When he thought of Etienne still having to immerse himself in studying, Bifang's lips turned up sadly.
The date on the ticket was the day after tomorrow. Bi Fang put it away and began to prepare mentally. By the way, he asked a few of his friends if they were interested.
As for the six big dogs at home, don’t worry too much, they will naturally be taken care of.
"If you need to hit them, hit them. Don't worry. They are rough-skinned and thick-flesh, so they cannot be beaten to death, especially the one with sly eyebrows and rat-like eyes." Bi Fang pointed at Goudan and said to his aunt.
"Ouch!!"
Goudan's anus suddenly tightened, and he immediately stood up from the sofa, jumped a few times, and let out a howl.
...
Three days later.
"Huh? Just the two of us?"
Yao Jun took off his sunglasses and looked around, and found that it was just him and Bifang.
Bi Fang nodded: "Lin Chang said that he is not very interested. If the samples come out, you can send them to him for a look, but there is no need to make a special trip. Not everyone is as free as you."
Yao Jun looked unhappy: "What do you mean I'm free? I came here just for your sake, otherwise I would have made millions every minute! How could I fly to watch a cartoon?"
Bi Fang curled his lips and was noncommittal.
Burbank is a residential satellite city and industrial center of Los Angeles. There are no direct flights to Burbank, so after getting off the plane, they still need to drive there. Since it was late, the two of them did not rush there, but found a hotel nearby to stay.
One night.
Early the next morning, Bi Fang called and told the other party that he had arrived. At noon, someone knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he looked up and saw a bespectacled man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
office worker dressed up.
The man with eyes put down his hand knocking on the door, and when he saw Bi Fang face to face, he showed a standardized smile: "Hello, Mr. Bi Fang, I am Bitton Morgan. I was sent by the company to show you the film production process. It is convenient now.
Are you leaving?"
Morgan was not too polite about the matter that had been discussed on the phone early in the morning and went straight to the point.
Bi Fang nodded: "Wait for me."
After returning to the bedroom and changing clothes, Bi Fang took Morgan to the next door. After knocking on the door, he soon saw the sleepy Yao Jun. After the announcement, the two sat in the lobby and waited for a quarter of an hour.
After chatting briefly about the progress of the movie for a while, I saw Yao Jun hurried downstairs.
After everyone arrived, Morgan drove the two of them to the studio to see the film production process.
"Generally speaking, shouldn't women do this kind of work?"
Yao Jun's muttering made Bifang twitch his lips: "Have you always been so embarrassed?"
Yao Jun looked shocked: "You actually look at me like that?"
"if not?"
Morgan, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Sorry, gentlemen, I understand Chinese. In other words, it is precisely because I understand Chinese that the company sent me here. Of course, if you really need it,
I can ask the company to replace it."
This is embarrassing.
Yao Jun spread out on his seat and started pretending to be dead.
Needless to say, Bi Fang's English proficiency is basic. Normal communication is basic. Even the scientific names of plants can be expressed in English, which is of a very high level. Yao Jun is not bad either. He studied abroad and can communicate normally.
, so after seeing Morgan, they subconsciously did not use Chinese, and did not expect this at all.
Fortunately, it was just a small incident, and Morgan knew it was just a joke and didn't care. After getting out of the car, both parties selectively forgot about the incident.
Walt Animation Studio was founded by Walt Disney himself. It is also the most distinctive and oldest department in this entertainment empire. When Bi Fang and Yao Jun climbed up the steps, they could see the live-action film department next to them, and the Chou Country opposite.
A division of ABC, the 3 major television network.
Walt's studio is an independent low-rise building, with a square at the entrance and several sculptures standing there. It looks like a fairy tale, and people can't help but want to enter it and take a look.
Morgan took the two of them for a short walk in front of the square, then entered the low building and greeted many people.
Various picture frames are hung everywhere on the walls, and the colors are quite rich, which is very different from ordinary office buildings.
And just when Morgan was about to take the two of them to the place where the film was produced, Bi Fang actually saw an acquaintance here.
"Long time no see, Mr. Bi Fang, I wonder if you still remember me." Brand Pariston gave Bi Fang a hug.
"Of course I remember, Mr. Brand."
Bi Fang smiled and said that based on his memory, he would never forget the other person as long as they chatted for a few words.
Brand Pallistone, he was the one who came to negotiate the copyright fee in the first place. It’s really emotional to see him now.
