Chapter 200 The Poison Hidden in the Candy

"You mean, you want to use the copyright of Disney's "Mulan" to adapt it into a live-action movie?"

"That's right, but it's not me, it's us together."

Xu Jia nodded, looking determined to win, "If I just want to make the story of Mulan, I don't need copyright at all, but what I value is the global market and Disney's technology."

He was confident in convincing Robert to start the project.

It's very simple. Disney has been running on this road since it acquired Marvel and opened the comic film.

Moreover, the project of "Mulan" has been launched in later generations, which shows that Disney does not reject it.

What Xu Jia has to do is to make such a time difference and get his own share of benefits from it.

"I have to say that the plan you proposed gave me a lot of inspiration." Robert became serious. This was the first time he showed a thoughtful expression after meeting Xu Jia.

hum.

Xu Jia's phone vibrated.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary pushed the door in with the documents in his arms.

"President, here are documents that you need to deal with..."

"Leave it here, I'll deal with it later, please don't disturb my conversation with Xu now." Robert knocked on the table, his thinking was interrupted, his face was a little unsettled.

The secretary froze for a moment, then glanced at Xu Jia in surprise.

Her visit this time is not just to hand over documents, the deep meaning is to remind Xu Jia and others to leave so as not to disturb the president.

But Robert actually took the initiative to let them stay, which shows that this Chinese man has already attracted the attention of the president in such a short period of time.

However, Xu Jia did not accept this favor. Instead, he took the initiative to stand up and said reservedly: "I will not hinder you from handling your work. I hope you can carefully consider the cooperation plan I just proposed. There is something I want to remind you... "

"Just now, "The Mermaid" produced by Jiaxing has won a box office of nearly 400 million US dollars in the Chinese market, and it has been in theaters for 18 days."

He specifically pointed out the number of days of release, which means that the 400 million US dollars is not the end.

Robert took a deep look at Xu Jia, and he admitted that this young man had successfully made himself look at Jiaxing, a Chinese company, with admiration.

Even Disney, facing the box office figure of 400 million US dollars, will not be indifferent.

"It's okay, after all, our meeting was too hasty, so how about I invite you to come back in three days and talk about it in detail?" Robert said.

"my pleasure."

Xu Jia smiled faintly.

After finishing speaking, he took Yang Mi to say goodbye and left Disney's headquarters.

All this happened so quickly that Yang Mi didn't realize it until she walked out of the gate.

"Just now, President Robert obviously wanted to keep you to continue talking about the "Mulan" project. Why did you leave so easily? Aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams?"

Yang Mi is worried about the previous situation of "Megalodon", so she will do it again.

With the noses of the domestic entertainment companies, if they hear the names of Disney and "Mulan", they will be so excited to kill them.

After all, she can see the prospect of this project, and others can see it even more.

"Today is just to arouse his interest. In such a short time, we can't talk about why. Moreover, with Disney's size, they want to kick us away. It's just a matter of one sentence, so we can't give up the right to speak. Appropriate It's a good thing to maintain a sense of mystery." Xu Jia explained in a serious manner.

On the side, Yang Mi showed a skeptical look: "Why do I always feel that you are hiding something from me? It's not as simple as you said."

Xu Jia raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you think is wrong? If there is a trap, the dignified president of Disney will not be able to see it?"

"That's true."

Yang Mi subconsciously nodded.

Dispel the seed of doubt that just grew in my heart.

No matter how you look at this project, it doesn't look like there is a problem.

Is it because I am too sensitive?

But Xu Jia secretly wiped his sweat.

Shit, these sisters have learned a lot, so it's not easy to cheat.

When he threw out "Mulan" from the very beginning, he was actually playing in a daze to attract Robert's attention.

Really let him do it, but he still doesn't do it.

After all, the dismal results of "Mulan" in his previous life left him speechless.

The cost was 200 million U.S. dollars, and the final box office was only more than 30 million U.S. dollars, which went to grandma's grandma's house.

That's when more than 20 million U.S. dollars was donated in the Huaxia market.

It's okay if the major ticket holders don't buy it. With Disney's distribution capabilities, audiences in other countries don't buy it either.

There is only one reason for the failure of this movie, and that is that there is no good balance between Eastern and Western cultures, and in the end it caused both parties to be unhappy.

And there is only one way to change.

It is to get the dominance of "Mulan", but this is another dead end.

With Disney's desire for control, it's impossible for them to let go, especially with the push for Disney+.

How about a joke——

"If you are unlucky to live on a deserted island, you can draw a Mickey Mouse on the beach, and people from Disney will come all the way to catch you, and you will be saved."

What Xu Jia really wants to do is to use this plan to continue to confuse the attention of those domestic competitors.

Whoever wants it, he doesn't mind reselling it.

But this price is more expensive.

Anyway, besides him, who else knows that there is actually poison hidden in this seemingly exquisite candy?

Return to the hotel for rest.

After Xu Jia and Yang Mi separated, they immediately called Zeng Jia and told them about "Mulan".

Zeng Jia was very excited: "If we can win this project, then our domestic reputation will go up to a higher level."

"No, what you have to do is to pass on the news that Disney and I discussed this project." Xu Jia said.

And I'm afraid that others won't come to snatch it?

Zeng Jiaren was confused, and said in amazement: "Mr. Xu, if this gets out, there will definitely be a company to snatch it up. Maybe the same thing happened with "Megalodon" will happen again."

"What I want is someone to snatch it, but if you want to take the meat from my mouth, I must first agree."

The corners of Xu Jia's lips turned upward, "I don't plan to do this project, it's just to throw it to the domestic guys to grab food, so as to attract firepower."

Especially during the release of "Mermaid", Jiaxing's limelight was overwhelming for a while, and he had to do an international co-production project.

Xu Jia was worried that some people would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he simply used the trap of "Mulan" and let those guys fight for it.

Whoever 'lucky' jumps in will be in bad luck.

Zeng Jia instantly understood what Xu Jia meant.

Obviously, he is not optimistic about this project. Zeng Jia may doubt it when others make such a judgment.

But Xu Jia, she agreed without even thinking about it.

"I understand. Does Warner need to inform us? We can pass it on from Warner's branch in China."

"Yes, you have learned to rush to answer."

Xu Jia thought for a while, but still refused: "But forget it, I have my own channels here."
