Chapter 1714 Fat Da

Although Li Mu is a businessman, he prefers a more human partner than those out-and-out Western businessmen.

Li Mu generally rejects those who are particularly precise with the abacus. This is not because he is careful, but purely personal preference.

When you want to pull a friend to do something mutually beneficial, the other person is only playing their own small abacus, this feeling is really annoying.

With the foundation of "Kung Fu Panda", the profit margin and future derivative value will not be too high. However, if you can bring in the fame of Panda Bear, plus the resources you give to it, DreamWorks' box office revenue and profits will be increased. It will greatly increase, not only the box office of a single movie will skyrocket, but the future sequels of the entire movie will also have more room for development.

Many movies cannot go on after two or three films due to lack of stamina, but there are also many movies that can continue to be made like Fast and Furious, and the box office revenue is getting higher and higher.

Different from live-action movies, the cost of making live-action movies is higher as the film goes on. For example, Fast and Furious, the starring actors are not well-known at the beginning, and the $1.8 million remuneration can't wait to sign it, even using Guo Degang's jokes in comic dialogue, One person carried two bags of noodles to do this.

However, as the movie becomes more and more popular, there are more and more sequels, and the starring's worth is getting higher and higher, and the cost of the movie will naturally skyrocket.

In the production of American TV dramas, usually for more than three or five seasons, the salary of the leading actor has to be adjusted several times, and even the leading actor often threatens to ask for a higher salary by threatening to strike.

For animated films, the more sequels are made, the lower the cost.

This is because the cost of the character design, background, world view setting, art, visual element setting and model building of an animated film is a one-time investment. As more and more sequels are made, the cost will become more and more diluted .

This is like the cost of opening a mold in the industry. The cost of opening a set of molds is tens of millions. If only one product is produced, it will definitely be expensive. Among them, the cost of the mold alone is as much as tens of millions.

But if ten pieces are produced, the cost of the mold will be as low as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

If DreamWorks is willing to cooperate with itself for mutual benefit, their profit margin must be much stronger than that of working alone. Moreover, every good cooperation is paving the way for more and greater cooperation. It will give them more resources and opportunities, but if it is very calculated at one time, it is better to let them get out as soon as possible.

Spielberg also realized the seriousness of this problem. After realizing that Li Mu was a little angry with himself, he immediately chartered a plane to fly to Yanjing, ready to apologize to Li Mu in person. At the same time, he also brought a complete outline of Kung Fu Panda. , setting and script.

Li Mu really didn't send anyone to pick him up, and he didn't even ask when he would arrive.

Spielberg flew all the way to Huaxia, and the first thing after getting off the plane in the morning was to go straight to Makino Technology.

Spielberg is also a world-renowned director and a rich man with a net worth of over 100 million. He came to Huaxia alone, and did not dare to put on any pomp, so he wore a peaked cap and came to Muye Technology by car. Instead of contacting Li Mu, he went directly to the front desk.

The front desk of Muye Technology generally has at least four people on duty at the same time, three of whom provide Chinese service, and the other provides English service.

Seeing an old white man, the front desk with English service smiled and asked, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Spielberg touched the brim of the peaked cap and said, "Hello, I want to meet you, President Li."

The girl at the front desk didn't recognize him at first. When he said he wanted to see Li Mu, the girl at the front desk just asked as usual, "What's your name? Did you make an appointment in advance?"

Spielberg said: "My name is Steven Spielberg, and I made a verbal agreement with Mr. Lee before."

"Spielberg..." The girl at the front desk was stunned,

After watching it carefully for a moment, I realized that the person standing in front of me was really the famous Hollywood director, Spielberg.

She was speechless in surprise, but Spielberg was somewhat embarrassed, coughed, and said, "I wonder if you can inform me?"

The girl at the front desk came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment, I'll call and ask."

Having said that, the girl at the front desk immediately picked up the phone, called Li Ziwei's office, and said, "Sister Ziwei, Mr. Spielberg is at the front desk, and he wants to see President Li."

Li Ziwei said, "I see, you tell him to wait a moment, and I'll inform President Li."

"OK."

Li Ziwei quickly came to Li Mu's office, knocked on the door and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, Director Spielberg is here."

Li Mu hummed and said, "Let him come up."

After a while, Spielberg was brought up by the staff.

The moment he saw Li Mu, Spielberg immediately stepped forward and said apologetically, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry about what happened before. I didn't think about it carefully."

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Stephen, we are all friends, why are you being so polite, please take a seat."

Spielberg's face became even hotter when he heard "Everyone is a friend". He didn't know whether Li Mu said this intentionally or not, but he felt extremely ashamed when he heard this in his ears.

He hurriedly said what he had been thinking about all the way, and said, "Mr. Li, I thought about it carefully later, and realized the importance of win-win cooperation. In fact, Muye Technology is willing to give us the image of the panda bear. Doing a film, in itself, is a very good thing for us.”

Li Mu nodded and said lazily, "Just think about it clearly, otherwise you will always think that I'm cheating on you."

"How could that be!" Spielberg hurriedly said: "I didn't worry that Li would deceive us at the beginning, but I was too optimistic about the follow-up value of copyright at the time. After thinking about it carefully, it was Mr. Li that you gave us. The cooperation plan that came out is the most suitable.”

"Well." Li Mu nodded lightly and asked again, "Then what do you think now?"

Spielberg hurriedly said: "What I think is very simple now, I just hope to cooperate with Muye Technology to make the ip of Panda Bear bigger and stronger."

Li Mu snorted and asked, "Have you brought the script and other materials?"

While nodding, Spielberg pulled out a printed document from his bag and handed it to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, this is the story-related information, please have a look.

Li Mu nodded slightly, turned to the first page, and saw a line of words: "The protagonist of the story is a panda named Bao?"

Spielberg nodded: "Yes, it is the first protagonist."

Li Mu snorted and said, "Can you change your name to Pang Da?"

"Panda? What do you mean?"
