McCann's family is not ordinary rich...because his father is one of the bosses behind Yalun Ge Film and Television Company...
Of course, very few people know about this kind of thing, and McCann has always been very low-key when he started working at Aaron's company. Everyone really thought that he was just an ordinary little director doing odd jobs.
McCann himself thought so most of the time.
After all, his father is more than just his son. Several of his other brothers and sisters are better than him. Some have become company executives like his father, and some have left the support of their families to start their own businesses and achieved success.
Not a small success.
Only McCann had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he had no ideals and ambitions. If it weren't for the fact that he was somewhat interested in watching movies and playing games, and learned a lot about film and television, he might really have become a good-for-nothing
Second generation ancestor.
When he was a child, his favorite thing was to daydream.
Moreover, because he has no lack of realistic material conditions, the dreams he has are all kinds of weird and fantastic dreams.
For example, he can freely imagine fantasy worlds and magical time and space.
When he was a child, he spent most of his time playing games, watching movies, and watching anime... Very early on, his family thought that he would eventually grow up to be a loser.
However, being a good-for-nothing also has its advantages. Anyway, the family has plenty of money, so it doesn’t matter if you raise a good-for-nothing.
Moreover, McCann has a very silly temperament and is sometimes used as a punching bag or pistachio by his family members, which brings a lot of happiness to everyone.
Perhaps this is where McCann’s value lies.
Although everyone's attitude toward McCann became better as they grew older, at the same time, everyone also became much more indifferent to him.
So McCann continued to daydream without any worries about food and clothing.
Until one day he began to feel a little bored and begged his father to give him a job.
In the end, he successfully entered the Aaron Brother Film and Television Company and became a small director in name only, but actually a handyman.
However, McCann himself was very satisfied with it and worked steadily for several years.
The only thing that remains unchanged is his love for all kinds of fantasy and magic works.
So...in the end, he came across Cuarón's work by coincidence.
Regarding that fantasy alien world, McCann now has endless yearning, so he very much hopes to see such a work turned into a film and television.
But after working for several years, McCann also knew that his ideas may not necessarily be in line with the company's ideas. Especially for such a work that has not been published and has no traffic, it is simply whimsical for the company to come forward and buy it.
But he is not discouraged. Since the company is not easy to operate, he will first obtain the copyright of the work himself, and then slowly figure out how to operate it.
What if one day he persuades his father and the company is willing to do this project?
Although this seems like a daydream, McCann, who is used to daydreaming, feels that it is not impossible.
Therefore, in the end, McCann decided to buy the copyright of Cuarón's work first.
As a handyman, he certainly knew the price of copyrights of some works in the mainstream market. After some consideration, he finally decided to bid one hundred thousand dollars!
To be honest, this price is already very reasonable, and at 100,000 US dollars, this is the total amount of pocket money he saved for several years when he was a child!
Therefore, after contacting Caron, McCann was very sincere and eager to give his quotation.
In his imagination, a comic book writer who had just had his manuscript rejected and suddenly received a hundred thousand dollars would be very excited and burst into tears of gratitude.
However, to McCann's expectation, there was no response from Cuarón, as if he was dismissive of his offer.
…
It's not like Cuarón didn't take a look at McCann's offer.
He was just a little surprised.
Because a few days ago, his new work was rejected by a publishing company, and many editors said it was worthless.
But in the blink of an eye, not only did Chen Feng buy his work at a price that satisfied him, but now there was someone willing to spend 100,000 US dollars for his work!
This made Caron feel a little flattered.
Of course, if someone had been willing to spend $100,000 to buy the copyright of his work before meeting Chen Feng, he might have been happy.
After all, the price of 100,000 yuan is really not low for him.
But unfortunately... before McCann contacted him, Chen Feng had already signed an agreement with him.
Moreover, the conditions offered by Chen Feng also made him even more excited.
The price Chen Feng paid to Caron was also $100,000.
However, McCann's $100,000 was to buy out the entire copyright, and the subsequent development of the work had nothing to do with Cuarón.
Chen Feng's $100,000 is just a foundation. Cuaron can also get some share of the subsequent copyright income from related works.
Although this share ratio is very low, it at least guarantees some of Caron's subsequent related rights and interests.
This will also encourage Cuarón to continue to improve and update his works.
Moreover, if the first work adapted from Cuaron's work becomes a hit, Cuaron will still be eligible to participate in the subsequent development of the second part, which is particularly important to Cuaron.
After all, the work is the child of the author, and no author does not want to see the growth and development of his work.
Chen Feng's loose conditions are perfect for Caron.
Especially after Cuarón understood Chen Feng's ability in the film and television industry, he signed a relevant contract with Chen Feng without any hesitation.
Therefore, the copyright of Cuaron's new work has now been owned by Chen Feng's Ping An Investment Company, and no one else can take it away.
McCann's appearance was, after all, a step too late.
After listening to Cuarón's explanation, McCann sighed... It's such a pity... He missed out on an excellent fantasy work like this!
So unwilling!
In fact, McCann has rarely encountered new works that he likes in recent years. After all, he has liked this type of subject since he was a child. He knows almost everything about related works. In recent years, there is really nothing
Excellent work.
And he finally discovered Cuarón's work, but he missed it.
What should I do?
After much thought, McCann still felt that he should not give up.
As a result, he contacted Cuaron again, and finally slowly found out that the copyright of Cuaron's new works was bought by an Oriental named Chen Feng.
The other party seems to be in the film industry and seems to have some strength?
