Chapter 1131 Lost to Death...

At nine o'clock in the morning, Director Zhang, who deliberately wore a suit, came to the company early, and other senior executives of the company and representatives of the management came.

As soon as everyone sat down in the conference room, Zhang Weiping walked in with a look of excitement, and said cheerfully: "This time Li Mu really miscalculated, he wanted to step on us, but he didn't expect to step on our fame! I specially I asked someone from a friend abroad to inquire about it, and now "Heroes" is very well-known in Western countries."

A marketing manager couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, do these overseas users have any resistance to our movies?"

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "This is the most interesting part. As far as my friends know, the most important reaction of netizens in Western countries to this incident is not to attack "Hero", but to discuss Li Mu and Muye Technology, and In the Muying ticketing system, a small number of people will scold a few words on the Internet, targeting film and television companies including us, so in this way, our movie just escaped the gun!"

Everyone suddenly realized this! In fact, the content posted by YY is mainly aimed at the film and television industry's stifling of new things. Although the producer of "Hero" has also participated in a lot, compared with dozens of film and television companies, the goal is too small. , so it is not so easy to pull hatred.

Realizing this, the whole office is boiling! From their point of view, Li Mu has undoubtedly made them a worldwide free advertisement, which may not be able to be bought at a cost of tens of millions. It is really a "blessing in disguise"!

Director Zhang also feels very fortunate. He thought he was kicked on a rock this time, but he didn't expect such a big windfall. According to the current dissemination of "Hero", if it takes the opportunity to distribute overseas, it will be matched with superb operations. The means will definitely bring high box office to the movie!

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became warm, and everyone was eager to discuss the future overseas development, and everyone was full of expectations.

After an hour passed, Zhang Weiping realized that the people from the United States had not yet appeared.

The other party also confirmed with himself before boarding the plane yesterday. After getting off the plane in the early morning, he went to the hotel first, and arrived at the company at 9:30. It has been half an hour, and I didn't expect him to come.

Zhang Weiping immediately took out his mobile phone and called the other party. The international long-distance transfer time was quite long, and after waiting for a long time, the call tone finally came.

After a few times, a tired voice said in English: "Hello, who are you?"

Zhang Weiping hurriedly asked him: "Is it Mr. Paul? I'm Zhang, didn't you say that you will be at the company at half past nine? We are all waiting, don't know when you will be there?"

"Oh..." The person called Paul is resting on the bed of the hotel at the moment. The long-distance flight is uncomfortable. Originally, he had no chance to rest. , but suddenly received a text message from Harvey giving up the movie, Paul immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As for the task of contacting Makino Technology, there is no way to quantify the assessment anyway, so he simply sleeps in the hotel first.

Paul, who was in pajamas, rubbed his eyes and said the truth lazily: "Sorry, Zhang, our boss temporarily notified me to give up purchasing the copyright of "Hero".

"What did you say?!" Zhang Weiping thought he was hallucinating. How could Harvey give up buying the copyright of "Hero" at this time? He is someone who understands the film and television market so well. Now that the popularity of "Hero" has been pushed up by Li Mu, he should not give up!

Paul thought that Zhang Weiping really didn't understand, and patiently said: "Zhang, our boss has given up on purchasing the copyright of "Hero", so there is no need for us to meet."

"You..." Zhang Weiping understood this time, and came back and asked: "What do you mean? Do you want to play the set of temporary price reduction? Let me tell you, you can't succeed! "Hero" You don't want the copyright, some people will!"

Paul hummed and said lightly, "You think too much,

We really don't want it. Since you said that some people will want it, then you should sell it to other people. Goodbye! "

After saying this, Paul hung up the phone, Zhang Weiping heard the busy tone on the phone, and his face was ashen.

Director Zhang asked him, "What? Harvey is a monster again?"

Zhang Weiping nodded: "His representative said that they have given up buying our copyright..."

"Damn it!" The management representative immediately slapped the case: "This Harvey wants to repeat his old tricks, right? He really thinks we will be led by the nose? He doesn't even open his eyes to see, today is different from the past, he Play hard-to-play with us, and we won't give him a chance! Anyway, there must be a lot of film and television companies willing to buy the copyright of our film!"

Director Zhang frowned. He knew the importance of Harvey in his heart. If the film wanted to win international awards, it would only be possible if it was handed over to Harvey. Box office is not guaranteed.

So Director Zhang advised: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, let's calm down and have a good discussion."

The management representative asked back: "What is there to discuss? Directly contact all Hollywood film and television companies and say that we want to sell the copyright of this film in various countries. Our film has such a big influence now, and there must be countless companies competing for it. grab!"

Director Zhang hurriedly said: "We'd better have a good chat with Harvey. After all, his strength is obvious to all. If we can cooperate with him, it will definitely be the best for us."

"What a shit!" The management representative sneered: "Harvey is playing a low-cost buyout. You sell the copyright to him at a low price. What does it have to do with us if he makes more money?"

After speaking, the management representative looked at Director Zhang and asked, "Director Zhang, I know what you are thinking about, don't you just want Harvey to take this movie and make it a high box office, do you have a bright face? If he is happy, he will lobby you for an Oscar nomination or even an Oscar, then you will have nothing to worry about in the future, but have you ever thought about how much we invested in this movie? The domestic box office has already lost so much , If overseas copyrights are sold at a lower price, what do we rely on to recover the cost?"

The management is extremely disappointed with the movie "Heroes" at present. After so many days of release, the real box office in China has just reached over 20 million. It has lost a lot of money at the box office, and the income is even less pitiful. You can't even get a fraction of the cost back.

Director Zhang was poked in his heart by the management representative. He didn't know how to respond for a while. He really wanted to sell more to Harvey. It was the investors who lost the movie box office. To be honest, he didn't care very much, nor was he affected very much. , The most important thing is whether the film can be nominated for international awards after the film comes out. Every nomination is its own reputation, and it is related to its future worth.

Zhang Weiping saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, so he had to stand up and ease: "President Liu, Lao Zhang, don't get excited, don't forget that the initiative is now in our hands."

After speaking, he made a suggestion: "I don't think so, let's communicate with the film and television distribution companies in overseas countries first, revealing our intention to sell the overseas copyright of "Hero", and let them make an offer, whether to sell it or not is still with us , the key is that this can put a certain amount of pressure on Xavi, maybe Xavi can end up under pressure and give us a price that satisfies us."

The management representative was silent for a moment, and nodded lightly. It seemed that this solution was the only solution.

...

In order to put more pressure on Harvey, the producer of "Hero" immediately began to communicate with major Hollywood film and television companies, distribution companies, and industry leaders, hoping that they could buy the copyright of "Hero", but it was unexpected for them to dream Yes, no matter how they advertised or praised the quality and current influence of the movie "Hero", all the people who contacted them in Hollywood rejected them without hesitation.

On the night of Yanjing time, the producer of "Hero" has contacted all the film and television companies and industry insiders that can be found in Hollywood. What makes them more and more desperate is that all companies have clearly stated that they do not want "Hero". The copyright didn't even wait for them to make an offer at all, and just heard the title of "Hero" and immediately rejected it, as if the whole world was hiding from this movie like the plague.

The whole team has completely lost the excitement and optimism before, and they are full of thinking about a question: why are they unwilling to ask for the copyright of "Hero"? It is so famous now, and the market potential is great!

The management representative, Zhang Weiping, and Director Zhang all inquired from various parties. After several inquiries, they finally got the news from a Hollywood company. The boss of the company set off for Huaxia, hoping to get the right to use this system in North America from Li Mu; as for "Hero", everyone knows Li Mu's super strength and influence, since YY is mad at Huaxia Film and Television Everyone in the company and the producer of "Hero" knows that Li Mu has a grudge against it, so these film and television industry bosses are not willing to offend Li Mu because of a "Hero".

Li Mu has a great influence in Hollywood, not only because of his movie ticketing system that makes the whole Hollywood coveted, but also because he himself has a strong influence in North America and even the entire West.

More importantly, his YY has completely occupied the entire western Internet users, and he can't imagine how influential it is. If he offends him, it will be a bad day.

Therefore, considering these reasons, overseas film and television distribution companies and individuals are afraid to accept the hot potato of "Hero", otherwise if Li Mu finds a chance to retaliate in the future, no one can withstand his strong pressure, especially These are the film and television industries that rely on users to eat.

At this time, Zhang Weiping and the entire "Hero" team realized desperately that if they annoyed Li Mu, they might be slaughtered. The domestic box office of "Hero" could no longer be lost. If people take over, wouldn't even the overseas market and overseas film awards be completely lost?

The management didn't cry without tears, and the cash of hundreds of millions of yuan was exchanged for the actual box office profit of several million. If there is no distributor in the world, this movie will be rotten in the ground, then the fuck Have to pay for it!
