Brian Roberts looked at Donn, "What do you say?"

To be honest, he thanked Tang En, but looked down on his strength.

Tang En is very self-aware and knows that his biggest reliance is not Tang En Pictures, but his movies!

"Do you think the movie "Spider-Man" will succeed?" Tang En suddenly changed the subject with a smile.

Brian Roberts did not answer immediately, and was cautious.

Kevin Hall smiled and said, "Your movies have always been a box office guarantee! I heard that Disney and Fox have adjusted the movie schedule and want to snipe "Spider-Man", there is no doubt that this is asking for trouble. Not to mention other things, the three-version trailer released by "Spider-Man" has attracted enough attention and will definitely be popular among movie fans. By the end of next month, I will take my son to the cinema to watch."

Tang En smiled and said, "I have been trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion recently, and the impact is not very good."

Brian Roberts then waved his hand, "Since the movie is released at the end of next month, there is more than a month left, which is enough to reverse this bad trend. Haven't you negotiated cooperation with Warner? Time Warner and Comcast jointly promote it to ensure that you have a healthy public image!"

Kevin Hall said: "It should be like this. You pay taxes actively and contribute one wonderful film after another to the people of the United States, but you have to be judged morally. It's so unfair."

Tang En smiled and said, "thank you. I don't want to say this. I mean, if Spider-Man becomes popular, it will definitely drive the entire Marvel superhero!"

"Yeah, that's right."

Brian Roberts and the other two nodded frequently, but their eyes flashed and they couldn't figure out Tang En's routine.

"My idea is very simple. With the spring breeze of "Spider-Man", Tangen Pictures intends to cooperate with Viacom to create a series of children's cartoons about Marvel heroes. But we have no relationship with Viacom, and you still need to mediate it."

Kevin Hall heard what Donn meant, and his eyes lit up instantly, "You mean... you want to take Marvel animation to the Nick Rodion channel to play?"

Like Donne Pictures, Viacom is a big customer of Comcast, and the interests of the customers are their interests.

What's more, this is a good opportunity to hit rival Disney.

If Don't Pictures and Viacom can really join forces to compete with Disney Children's Channel, Comcast doesn't mind taking action and will fuel the fire.

"Of course!" Don Neng showed his iconic sunny smile, and his confident look was very comfortable. "Isn't Disney invading Nick Rodian's scene reality show market? Instead of being passively defending, it's better to take the initiative. Nick Rodian can attack the cartoon market."

Brian Roberts and Kevin Hall looked at each other, a little incredible.

What is Tang En doing?

Is it that simple to revenge Disney? There are too many benefits to give it out.

Not to mention other things, once "Spider-Man" becomes popular, the copyright of Marvel superheroes will be a sky-high price! The shoddy low-cost investment of children's cartoons can't even afford the copyright fee.

"What are your requirements?"

Brian Roberts stared at Donn, looking for the answer. He was sure that Donnn must not need money.

Donn turned against Disney, handed over Starz TV to Comcast, and took the initiative to help Viacom solve the crisis on Nick Rodean Channel. At such a big price, it was too small just for money.

Tang En stretched out three fingers, "I want to make three requests."

"Tell me, look."

"The first requirement is that I hope that Viacom's media can operate quickly, including CBS Group and Paramount Pictures, to make my personal image clear. I need to overcome this image crisis as quickly as possible."

“It’s very simple.”

In fact, there is no need to ask Tang En to ask, Brian Roberts will start his own connections and help Tang En clean up the floor.

Tang En's personal image represents the future development of Starz TV. The more users of Starz TV, the more users it operates, the more in line with Comcast's interests.

Don En did not hesitate and said: "I have very ambitious plans for Starz TV. The user is the God of the TV station. I hope Comcast can provide Starz with a variety of packaged promotions. Especially in terms of operating expenses, I hope that users' operating fees will be exempted within three years."

This is not a big talk, it is the basic terms for signing contracts between external TV stations and operators.

"No problem!" Brian Roberts glanced at Tang En deeply, very puzzled. What exactly is this kid going to do?

It was not until Tang En made a third request that he finally figured out Tang En's meridians.

"Nick Rodian Channel is under strong pressure from Disney Channel, and can even boldly predict that within 5 years, Disney Channel, with more rich content resources, will definitely occupy the children's TV market, and even Warner's cartoon channel will not work. So I hope that Don't have a cooperation with Viacom, Don't have a content, Viacom is responsible for the operation, and jointly manage Nick Rodian, and fight against Disney!"

Everyone present is smart, and I instantly understood what Tang En meant. He wanted to invest in Nick Rodion!

No wonder he took out the copyright of Marvel with pride!

Taking stakes in Nick Rodion?

The first idea of ​​Brian Roberts is that it is feasible!

Viacom is a listed company, ensuring benefits and avoiding risks are the first principle.

Giving up part of Nick Rodion's equity will not only reduce the risks in Viacom's future, but also gain a sum of funds and an excellent content production ally. Why not do it?

"How much equity do you want?"

"Half, Don't Pictures and Viacom jointly manage this children's channel, with half the responsibility and half the risk."

Nick Rodion is a basic cable TV station. Because of the lack of original content, there is no DVD. The revenue of the video tape mainly depends on subscription fees and advertising fees. There are 30 million subscribers across the United States, and the monthly subscription fee is only $0.99.

Donn never thought of making money through Nick Rodion, especially under the premise that Viacom is responsible for the operation.

He invested in Nick Rodion, and in addition to competing with Disney, his profitability mainly relies on content.

Tangen Pictures produces animation content and promotes it through Nick Rodian. Tangen Pictures only provides TV copyright, and the sales revenue of DVDs and videotapes has been added to Tangen's pocket.

More importantly, Donn hopes to cultivate his own animation talents through the process of making cartoons for Nick Rodion.

Brian Roberts pondered a little, "Although Comcast is a shareholder and the biggest partner of Viacom, this is a matter within Viacom after all. I will bring you what you say and will try my best to promote your cooperation. You need to wait."

"It's okay, there's plenty of time." Tang En stood up and prepared to say goodbye. "Anyway, the most urgent thing is my personal image."

Brian Roberts laughed.

...

Bill McNick opened his eyes wide and looked at Donn, "What did you say? Are you going to invest in Nick Rodion Channel?"

Tang En smiled and said, "Yes, this is a good thing for Tang En Pictures to win multiple goals in one go. Animation movies have always been Tang En Pictures' shortcomings. If you want to start directly from animated movies, it is impossible to accumulate technology without five or six years. You can accumulate experience from animated movies first, which can reduce the company's pressure on the animation department on the one hand, and cultivate our own animation talents on the other hand."

"Viacom...Redstone is an old stubborn person." Bill McNick's face was solemn and he shook his head frequently.

Tang En curled his lips disdainfully, "Without Tang En Pictures, Nick Rodion will soon become a stepping stone for Disney Channel! If Redstone and the management of CBS Group are a little brainy, they will definitely agree to this cooperation."

Bill McNick shook his head and said, "The risk is too great, Donne, the opponent you are facing is Disney!"

"I know, they have the Disney Princess series, and they are the originators of cartoons." Tang En shrugged calmly, "That's why I chose to cooperate. If I have enough confidence to defeat Disney Channel, I will definitely make a request for a full acquisition."

"What are your considerations about the content of the cartoon?"

"Start with Marvel first, we want to make young cartoons, only for children, and avoid building contact with movies." Donnn paused for a moment, suddenly asked with a smile, "By the way, last time you said you wanted to contact Hasbro and buy the Transformers movie copyright, has there any results?"

Bill McNick frowned and said, "I've been busy all this time, so how can I have the energy to take care of this?"

Tang En smiled and looked happy, "Go and do it. I have figured out that I can pack the copyright of Hasbro's toys, Transformers, Special Forces, MSI Little Superman, Magic Knight, Masked Fighter, Universe Knight, New Age Warrior, We want comic adaptation rights, animation adaptation rights, TV adaptation rights, and movie adaptation rights!"

Bill McNick's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he instantly understood his intention, "Donn, are you talking about... integrating these seven sets of toys into comics, like Marvel's superheroes, and then completing the adaptation of animation, television, and movies?"

"That's the point!"

Tang En is not sure whether this plan will be successful. He only knows that Transformation Gang's movie is selling well around the world. "You can first adapt Marvel into a comic, and then make it into a children's cartoon to cultivate a group of audiences. The current special stunts are not good. After seven or eight years, the special effects technology will be improved. After the movie is made, the children will be in the future box office!"

No matter how confident Tang En is, he will never start with the movie directly.

Fortunately, children's cartoons are cheap, so I'll try it through comics and cartoons first.

Bill McNick was very amazed by Donne's idea. He had heard that Donne had the idea of ​​creating the "Avengers", but unexpectedly, another "Hasbro League" emerged.

In 2000, the concept of industrial IP was not yet circulated, but Donne's creativity immediately reminded Bill McNick, "Since our opponent is Disney, why not sign Barbie dolls too? Compared with Transformers, Barbie dolls are the world's number one toy!"

"Barbie doll?"

Tang En's eyes lit up instantly, a good idea!

Disney's ace is the "Disney Princess" series. Although it has been decades, since "Snow White", Disney Princess cartoons have always been girls' favorites.

The only one who can compete with it is Barbie Princess derived from Barbie dolls!

"Okay! Just do it!"

Tang En slapped heavily, with an excited look on his face, as if he had found a breakthrough for Disney.
Chapter completed!
