Chapter 73 Both sides have their own abacus

Tang En's tone was very tough, "Mr. Horn, I said that I had to get all the copyrights of the entire novel before I could start this movie project! Ms. JK Rowling helped her in the most dangerous moment, but what happened? She climbed up to the top and kicked Tang En's Pictures into the bottom. I don't believe such a partner."

"We will start to solve this problem!" Alan Horn promised immediately.

Tang En shook his head, "Sorry, Mr. Horn, I have no habit of handing over the initiative, and Ms. Rowling's behavior is so disappointing. I just want to get the copyright and then do everything according to the contract. I will never want to deal with such people again."

David Heyman was very embarrassed. He was a British man. He relied on his connections to win over JK Rowling to put pressure on Don Film.

But unexpectedly, the young Donn Walker had such a tough attitude.

"Mr. Walker, your request... is difficult to deal with." David Heyman looked embarrassed.

Tang En shrugged, "I know it's difficult, but this is the premise for our cooperation. Sorry, Mr. Heyman, I speak a little directly. With the strength of Shengri Pictures, if I can't provide some special help, why should I cooperate with you?"

David Heyman smiled bitterly.

Yes, he has no copyright, no funds, no channels, and can participate in such a big project with the face of a British man? Why?

Shengri Pictures is not Warner Pictures!

David Heyman sighed, "Well, Mr. Walker, I will try my best to convince JK Rowling to sell you the copyright of the entire book."

"It's not as much as possible, it's certain! This is the premise for whether Tang En Pictures can cooperate with Shengri Pictures and Warner Pictures!" Tang En stared at David Heyman with his eyes straight.

"Okay, I will definitely do this!" David Heyman felt Alan Horn's deep eyes and answered firmly.

Donn smiled and looked at Alan Horn, "Mr. Horn, with this prerequisite, I think we have the first foundation for negotiation."

“What about the second foundation?”

Alan Horn has already understood that what Tang En values ​​is not the benefits of capital, but many external conditions. This makes him very relaxed. As long as it is not a strict copyright agreement and dividend agreement, it is very simple for Warner.

It's just spending some connections.

The board of directors values ​​capital, not intangible assets.

Don Eun did not hide it, "I believe with Mr. Horn's energy, I must have heard that I am interested in acquiring Marvel Entertainment."

Alan Horn immediately frowned.

Marvel...he's too familiar.

Marvel was in trouble in recent years, once went public, went bankrupt and delisted, and was acquired privately, and had a difficult life.

Alan Hornben intends to propose the board of directors to acquire Marvel Entertainment.

But with the disastrous defeat of the movie "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin", superhero movies have become Warner's taboo. At this time, who dares to acquire the mess of Marvel? Even DC Comics is about to collapse!

Now, after Tang En's mouth and confirming that he was going to acquire Marvel, Alan Horn's eyes became more and more complicated.

What is this young man thinking?

The market value of Marvel Entertainment Group is not high. With Tang En's strength, it is enough to complete the acquisition. But... after buying such a mess, do you really think you have the ability to turn into gold?

Alan Horn is hard to say these words, and there is no need to say that his mission is to negotiate with Donne Pictures to cooperate with the Harry Potter project, rather than being a savior.

On the contrary, if Donn acquires Marvel and has shortage of funds, then he will need Warner's support even more when developing "Harry Potter"!

Little thoughts influenced Alan Horn's thinking and said with a smile: "Didn't you get the support of CAA?"

Tang En spread his hands and smiled: "A more helper will give you more hope for success."

Alan Horn cheerfully agreed, "Yes, Warner will support your acquisition and ensure that your acquisition will not be raised by Hollywood peers."

"I heard that Xinyi Film and Marvel Entertainment developed a superhero movie "Blade Warrior". The relationship should be good. If they come forward to talk to each other, it should be very effective." Tang En said with a smile.

Alan Horn couldn't help but blush.

"Blade Warrior" was released one day later than "My Grand Greek Wedding", which is a real challenge to the stage.

But what is the result?

Being killed instantly!

"My Grand Greek Wedding" is full of momentum, with a global box office of nearly $250 million.

But what about "Blade Warrior"? The global box office of more than $100 million is a miracle!

Loss is destined.

"Ahem..." Alan Horn coughed a few times, covering up his embarrassment, "For Marvel, we will send someone to say that with the help of CAA, plus Time Warner's strength, as long as there is no problem with the funding, Marvel will be yours within half a year."

Tang En clapped his hands with a smile, "thank you!"

I was very proud of everything. Don’t forget that behind him is another major agency, Endeavor and public relations tycoon Eli Emanuel. With these three major forces joining forces, Marvel Entertainment is determined to win!

...

Because Tang En's two prerequisites are not reflected in the contract, the strategic cooperation agreement three days later is only the "priority cooperation right" between Tang En Pictures and Warner Pictures for the "Harry Potter" film project.

In addition to the complex proportions of copyright, dividends, investment, etc., the content of the contract revolves around "priority".

If Don'tel Pictures wants to develop "Harry Potter" in the future, Warner Pictures has priority cooperation rights. And Don'tel Pictures must start this project within two years after obtaining the copyright of the entire series of "Harry Potter".

Alan Horn's idea is very simple. With the strength of Tangen Pictures, it is impossible to accumulate enough funds to operate the Harry Potter project in a short period of time. At that time, it will have to cooperate with Warner according to the agreement.

Andrew O'Hair is a veteran of Donne Pictures. As a market analyst with Market Judgment 97, he is sure that once Harry Potter is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be successful.

But the boss Tang En's approach made him quite puzzled.

"Boss, do we really want to work with Warner?"

Tang En smiled, "Is there any problem?"

Andrew O'Hair frowned slightly, "Boss, "Harry Potter" will definitely be successful. Our cooperation with Warner is equivalent to sending our money to Warner's arms!"

"Oh?" Tang En raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

Andrew O'Hair shook his head, "Boss, with your influence, if you want to make movies, there will be many foundations, even Asian and Arab hot money to invest in you. We are not short of funds! More importantly, using their funds to make movies, the copyright will be in our own hands."

Tang En Pictures is his home. Andrew O'Hair watched Tang En make such a "wrong" decision and send his family's money away, which made him feel distressed.

Tang En's expression was faint, "Yes, everything is under our control at that time. As long as the first movie accumulates funds, Tang En Pictures will be able to be solely owned by the subsequent filming, and there is no need to share the benefits at all."

"Boss, then you are..."

Andrew O'Hair was quite surprised.

Don Neng smiled coldly, "Andrew, do you think Warner Brothers mobilized so many people to negotiate with us just for the Harry Potter movie series?"

Andrew O'Hair opened his eyes wide, "Isn't it?"

"Harry Potter is just a not-famous teenager novel written by the British. How dare Warner be sure the movie will succeed?" Tang En snorted coldly. "They sent executives like Alan Horn just to reach a strategic partnership with Tang En Pictures."

"boss……"

Andrew O'Hair was confused and couldn't understand it.

"Andrew, Hollywood is the world of six major film companies. Do you understand this?"

"Yes, everyone was optimistic about DreamWorks, but...ah!" Andrew O'Hair sighed heavily, "Even DreamWorks have encountered it repeatedly, and they can only rely on Paramount. It's really hard to get through independent film companies."

Tang En nodded, "Then can you predict the future of DreamWorks?"

"Future?" Andrew O'Hair's pupils slowly contracted and he pondered, "Maybe... they will be acquired by Paramount."

"That's right!" Tang En yelled, then curled the corners of his mouth, smiling, "Andrew, do you understand Warner Brothers' plan this time?"

In just a moment, Andrew O'Hair felt a cold sweat come out and he burst out in disbelief, "Are you saying... Warner Brothers are planning to acquire Tang En Pictures?"

Tang En's lips curled up and said calmly: "First cooperate simply on individual projects, then the company invests in shares, cooperates deeply, and finally acquires a full range of acquisitions. Warner Brothers wants to deal with Tang En's Pictures by using the method of dealing with New Line Pictures."

"This...this..."

Andrew O'Hair knew Donn's ambitions, and it was even more proof of his acquisition of Marvel Entertainment.

only……

Time Warner is a giant!

Seeing Andrew O'Hair in shock, Don't worry, the monopoly structure of the six major Hollywood film companies cannot be broken, it doesn't mean I can't!"

Andrew O'Hair naturally believed in Don Eun. Don Eun was not only his boss, but also his benefactor. "But Warner... we signed a contract."

Don An laughed, "What a shit contract, it's just a 'priority right to cooperate'!"

Andrew O'Hale blinked, "Hmm?"

Tang En lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously, "If you want to fulfill the contract, you must first find a partner in Tang En Pictures!"

"You mean...we run the Harry Potter project independently?"

Andrew O'Hair finally understood Don't plan. He had no intention of cooperating with Warner to develop "Harry Potter". Instead, he took advantage of this negotiation and made the other party agree to two requests. This was to play Warner Brothers in applause!

"But... do we have that much money?"

"money?"

Tang En's mouth curled slightly, "The problem of funds will never be a problem!"
