Chapter 531: Winning Disney and Warner's film and television copyright
Zhang Xiao raised his finger and pointed at his nose, saying: "Do you think I am the kind of person who looks for trouble when nothing happens?"
"The grudge between me and Xiang Jiu was also because he made trouble for me, so I had to take action, otherwise I would have already started filming a new movie."
Liu Huade was stunned and said: "So, you agreed?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "You can tell me that as long as the Xiang family doesn't seek revenge from me in the future, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble for them."
The three of them looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said in unison: "Okay."
The facts of Xiang Jiu's case were clear and the evidence was conclusive. The court quickly sentenced Xiang Jiu to life imprisonment for intentional homicide.
Zhang Xiao also relied on his strong recovery power and was discharged from the hospital after two days.
At this time, Longhui Film Company had been merged into Qingtian Entertainment Company, including a total of eight artists, two magazines, four hotels and a TV station.
Yang Mi changed the name of Longhui TV Station to Qingtian TV Station and held a grand banquet, inviting many big stars and business people from Hong Kong Island.
Among them, more than ten wealthy people who had attacked Longhui's stock price also came to attend the dinner in person.
Naturally, Zhang Xiao would not pretend to be a winner and sneer at them. On the contrary, he behaved very humbly and toasted to them as a junior, giving these people full respect.
Both parties can avoid grudges with a smile.
Zhang Xiao's approach has been greatly appreciated by the business community on Hong Kong Island, and Sunny Entertainment Company has finally established a foothold on Hong Kong Island.
After settling the matter with Longhui Film Company in Hong Kong, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi returned to Yuzhou.
After going home and playing with Xiao Xinxin for three days, Zhang Xiao took a plane and headed to the Lighthouse Country to prepare for the filming of "Forrest Gump".
Arriving at the Disney headquarters, Zhang Xiao found Herman and said: "Herman, I want to buy the copyrights of some film and television works that Disney has produced before, and broadcast them on the TV station I bought. How much does it cost?"
Herman was stunned and said: "Mr. Zhang, do you have your own TV station?"
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, my TV station is currently only for Hong Kong Island and some Southeast Asian countries. In the future, it may cover the whole of China. Just tell me how much it will cost!"
Herman thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhang, under normal circumstances, our company's film and television copyrights are not sold, but since you have spoken, I can make the decision and sell you the copyrights of film and television works shot five years ago.
, as for the price, it shouldn’t be too expensive.”
Zhang Xiao frowned and said: "The copyright from five years ago, Herman, can't the recent one?"
"Of course!" Herman said: "But at this price, it will be very expensive."
Zhang Xiao suddenly said: "Money is not an issue. After a while, I will arrange for people from the TV station to come and select movies. You can just discuss how much it costs."
Herman smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand."
After managing Disney, Zhang Xiao came to Warner Bros.
Although Warner CEO Maners wanted to cut Zhang Xiao into pieces, Zhang Xiao not only had his leverage, but also the owner of the copyrights of the four superheroes, so Maners had to treat him with courtesy.
Zhang Xiao told Maners his purpose of coming, but Maners refused without even thinking about it.
"Mr. Mans, Disney has agreed."
"That's Disney, not Warner~~"
"Are you avenging a personal vendetta? It seems that Warner's film and TV series rights have also been sold to Waiguo TV Station!"
"Mr. Zhang, Warner has its own overseas channels. Your TV station is too weak. We really have no reason to cooperate with you."
"I buy things with real money, what does this have to do with the strength of the TV station? Forget it, since Mr. Maners won't sell it, then I'll go discuss it with Mr. Noel!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiao looked at him deeply, stood up and walked out.
Maners was frightened by Zhang Xiao's indifferent eyes and said quickly: "Wait a minute, this matter is not non-negotiable."
Zhang Xiao said calmly: "Mr. Maners, I don't have time to argue with you here slowly, whether it's okay or not, I want to be precise."
Mansi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."
Zhang Xiao looked at Maners with burning eyes and said: "I just want to make my own movie. I don't want to be an enemy of Warner Bros., nor do I want to be an enemy of you."
"But if you want to challenge me, I guarantee that not only will you not be able to be the CEO of Warner, but no one in Hollywood will dare to ask you."
After saying that, Zhang Xiao opened the door of the office and left.
Maners' face was extremely ugly, his eyes were filled with anger and... panic.
Just now, Maners was just venting his long-standing resentment and anger towards Zhang Xiao. It wasn't until Zhang Xie became heated that he realized the seriousness of the problem.
He had asked people to investigate before and found that Zhang Xiao was not only a shareholder of Disney, but also a shareholder of Tesla. Together with other industries, his net worth was conservatively estimated to have exceeded 200 billion US dollars.
Not to mention Maners, even the boss of Warner Bros. is far less wealthy than Zhang Xiao.
If Zhang Xiao really wants to deal with him, I am afraid that not only Hollywood, but also the entire Lighthouse Country will not have a place for him.
Thinking of this, Maners took a long breath and secretly thought that he must change his attitude towards Zhang Xiao.
On Zhang Xiao's side, after leaving Warner, he snorted coldly and said, "It's so shameless."
Zhang Xiao had always been quite polite to Maners before and had never spoken harshly, which led Maners to treat him as a soft persimmon.
In the scene just now, Zhang Xiao did not really rise, he was just performing it for Mansi to see.
Zhang Xiao must let Maners know that he can control his life and death. After learning this lesson, I believe he will be honest in the future.
really.
Before Zhang Xiao's car arrived at the hotel, Maners called him.
Not only did he express his sincere apology to him, but he also said that he would sell the copyright of Warner's film and television works to Zhang Xiao at the lowest price.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao calmly said a few words to Maners, and then hung up the phone.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi had a video call.
"Honey, the film and television rights of Disney and Warner have been secured. Send someone over to make a selection."
"That's great, hubby, you are awesome."
"Stop complimenting me. You and Sister Ya held a one-day meeting with Liu Hongde at the TV station. What are you going to do? Are the film and television broadcast rights of Disney and Warner really that important?"
"Husband, we are going to make a Qingtian Film and TV app. In addition to watching live broadcasts, we can also watch other programs. As long as we can do it well, maybe we can compete with Penguin Video, iQi Video and other websites in the future.
"
When Zhang Xiao heard Yang Mi's words, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that you have great ambitions. Wife, aren't you tired?"
Yang Mi asked instead: "Husband, you work so hard in filming, aren't you tired?"
Zhang Xiao hesitated and said: "Okay, as long as you are interested, then go ahead and do it, but you have to remember one thing, don't wrong yourself in the process, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just be happy.
"
Yang Mi smiled and said: "Thank you, husband. Actually, I don't do this for money. I just want a sense of accomplishment."
