Chapter 921 "Transformers" Is Done

Xiao Yunhai called Thrall yesterday and asked him to come over and talk about "Transformers".

Thrall shook hands with him, smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's been almost three months since we parted on the plane. You're amazing now, you've only released one album and you've become the public enemy of American musicians. Send another one, and I'm afraid they'll have to kick you out of America."

Xiao Yunhai made a gesture of asking for a seat, and said, "Muxiu Yulin, the wind will destroy it, let them go. Mr. Sal, I won't say anything polite, I invited you to come here for "Transformers" Now that the film is out, it's on my computer, you can watch it."

When Thrall heard it, he happily said, "That's great."

Sitting on Xiao Yunhai's boss chair, Sal watched it earnestly for half an hour, then raised his head and said in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, this cartoon is really good. I feel that it is not only suitable for children, but also Suitable for us adults."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I told you that once the time is right, "Transformers" will be made into a movie by me sooner or later. So, is Mr. Sal planning to introduce this cartoon?"

Thrall shook his head and said, "It's not an introduction, it's a buyout. I hope..."

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he quickly interrupted him and said, "Saar, don't mention the buyout, I will never agree to it."

"Why? The price I offer is guaranteed to satisfy you."

"It's not about money, it's about the development of our company. "Transformers" is very important to us at Marvel Comics. Recently, our work has been completely revolved around it, so a buyout is absolutely impossible."

Xiao Yunhai's confidence in "Transformers" is not a little bit, if it is bought out by Thrall, even if it is broadcast a thousand times or ten thousand times on major TV stations in the world, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yunhai. Such a loss-making business would not even kill Xiao Yunhai.

not to mention,

He had already agreed to hand over the "Transformers" cartoon to his uncle's Anhui TV station. Once it was given to Sal, Xiao Yunhai would not be able to explain it to his uncle.

Compared with family affection and money, Xiao Yunhai would choose the former without hesitation.

Thrall frowned and said, "I'm willing to pay $500 million to buy it out. Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, even if it's 5 billion, I won't sell it."

Thrall frowned and said, "Xiao, if you only sell the broadcasting rights, according to the current market form, the price may not be very high."

Thrall was actually playing tricks just now, he knew very well that Xiao Yunhai would not agree to the buyout, he just said that on purpose just to make Xiao Yunhai feel a little apologetic, and then in the next negotiation, he could gain some psychological support. Advantage.

Xiao Yunhai is a bit of a fan of the authorities, but Raul, who has been in the business battle field, is ignorant.

"Mr. Sal, we are desperate for the "Transformers" cartoon. We are ready to invest more than 100 million US dollars in advertising costs. The toy factory is fully operational and millions of sets of Transformers toys have been produced. This cartoon, we are very confident. If you can't give us a better price, we can only apologize."

After Raul finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yunhai, worried that he would be dissatisfied with his intervention.

Xiao Yunhai naturally wouldn't mind these things. Professional people should be responsible for professional matters. This is his creed.

Raul is obviously much stronger than himself in terms of negotiation, Xiao Yunhai certainly won't have the slightest grudge, he first cast an admiring look at him, and then said to Sal: "This is Raul, the actual head of our company. Before you came, I had already handed over the "Transformers" matter to him. Therefore, Thrall, the "Transformers" issue, you can discuss it. I agree with all Raul's decisions. "

Thrall was shocked, glanced at the unsmiling Raul, and felt that this person seemed a little difficult to deal with, and said, "It seems that Mr. Raul has won the trust of Mr. Xiao."

Raul was very grateful for Xiao Yunhai's support and said, "I just try my best to work for the boss. Mr. Sal, our "Transformers"..."

Next, Raul and Thrall began to discuss the price of "Transformers" broadcast rights.

Xiao Yunhai looked at Raul, who was chatting with the other party and battling each other, and secretly said in his heart, "You really can't look like a person. Normally, Raul looks like a stuffy gourd, but I didn't expect that when he was on the field, his eloquence was so good. "

As the director of a private TV station, Sal is a master negotiator, but it is clear that this time, Raul has the upper hand.

After arguing for half an hour, the two finally reached an agreement.

Thrall used 30 million US dollars to buy the first-round broadcast rights of "Transformers". If the ratings are good, under the same conditions, Marvel Comics will give priority to selling the broadcast rights of the second, third and subsequent rounds. give him.

Playback is limited to the United States, however.

If it is Xiao Yunhai's idea, it is best to use advertising revenue instead of cash like Huaxia TV. It's a pity that he just put forward this suggestion, and before he finished speaking, it was sternly rejected by Thrall.

Xiao Yunhai sighed and had no choice but to do it.

After signing the contract, Xiao Yunhai and Thrall shook hands and said, "Saar, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Thrall smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with."

When he was about to get into the car, Thrall glanced at Raul and said to Xiao Yunhai: "No wonder you will give Marvel to Mr. Raul with confidence. He is indeed a talent."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I think so too."

Xiao Yunhai only stayed in Los Angeles for half a day, dealt with matters related to "Transformers", and flew back to Hengdian in a hurry.

Hundreds of people in the entire crew were waiting there, and he didn't have much time to waste.

American Disney Studios Headquarters

A middle-aged man in his forties was standing respectfully at Kestel's desk and reporting to him.

"Mr. Keelter, recently, Marvel Comics' cartoon "Transformers" has been very popular, and the Internet, TV, and radio all have their shadows, and posters are posted everywhere. It’s no less than 100 million. And I heard that the Marvel toy factory is stepping up the production of Transformers toys, it seems to be very confident in this cartoon.”

Kestel took a hard sip of the cigar and said, "I didn't expect Kung Fu Xiao to be so bold and dare to put all his treasures on this "Transformers". Didn't he think about it, once "Transformers" What happens if you fail?"

The middle-aged human said: "Boss, after watching their trailer, most of the animation fans and children on the Internet said they liked it very much and looked forward to its broadcast. I am worried that Marvel will really succeed. With them The technology and strength in comics and animation, coupled with Xiao’s funds behind him, may become our very powerful enemy at that time.”

Disney is the most famous action production company in the world. Although it has also involved in the investment and shooting of other films, animation has always been their trump card. Every year, more than a dozen big animation films are released, and there are even more animations.

And Marvel Comics is also engaged in the animation industry. The so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, and the market is so big. Once Marvel rises, it will inevitably threaten Disney's status. So, if you were to ask which company in Hollywood is most concerned about Marvel, it would be them.

At the beginning, the decline of Marvel was not without Disney's secret efforts.

In fact, since Xiao Yunhai entered Marvel, Disney has begun to pay attention to them.
