At nine o'clock in the morning, director Zhang, who was wearing a suit deliberately, came to the company early, and other senior executives and representatives of the management came.

Just as they sat down in the meeting room, Zhang Weiping walked in excitedly and said happily, "this is a miscalculation for Li Mu. He wanted to step on us, but he stepped out our fame instead! I've asked some foreign friends about it. Now hero is well-known in western countries. "

A marketing manager couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zhang, do these overseas users have any resistance to our movies?"

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "this is the most interesting place. According to my friends, the main response of Western netizens to this incident is not to attack heroes, but to discuss Li Mu and Muye technology, as well as the muying ticketing system. A small number of people will scold on the Internet, aiming at the film and television companies including us, so this is the case Come on, our movie just dodged the gun! "

That's what they realized! In fact, the content of YY is mainly aimed at the killing of new things in the film and television industry. Although the producers of hero have participated in a lot, compared with dozens of film and television companies, the goal is too small, so it is not so easy to hate.

Realizing this, the whole office is boiling! In their view, there is no doubt that Li Mu has made a free advertisement for them all over the world, which may not be able to be bought at tens of millions of costs. It's really a blessing in disguise!

Zhang Dao also felt very lucky. He thought he had kicked on the stone this time, but unexpectedly there was such a big unexpected harvest. According to the current propagation strength of hero, if he took the opportunity to release overseas and combined with excellent operation methods, he would surely bring high ticket room to the movie!

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became warm. Everyone was interested in discussing the future overseas development, and each of them was full of expectation.

An hour later, Zhang realized that no one from the United States had appeared.

The other party confirmed with himself before getting on the plane yesterday. After getting off the plane in the morning, he went to the hotel first and arrived at the company at 9:30. It's half an hour since he arrived. Unexpectedly, he hasn't come yet.

Zhang Weiping immediately took out his mobile phone and called the other party. The international long-distance transfer time was quite long. It took him a long time to finally hear the calling tone.

After several times, a tired voice came and said in English: "Hello, who are you?"

Zhang Weiping asked him in a hurry, "is this Mr. Paul, please? I'm Zhang. Don't you say I'll arrive at the company at 9:30? We're all waiting. I don't know when you'll arrive? "

"Oh..." Paul is lying on the bed of the hotel at the moment. The long-distance plane is not comfortable. He had no chance to rest at all. He had to go to Zhang Weiping's company to take a bath in the hotel and change clothes. But when Harvey gave up the movie, Paul was relieved. As for the task of contacting Muye technology, there is no way to quantify it Nuclear, so simply sleep in the hotel.

Paul, sleepy in his pajamas, rubbed his eyes and said the truth lazily: "I'm sorry, Zhang, our boss temporarily informed me to give up buying the copyright of hero."

"What do you say?!" Zhang Weiping thought that he had been hearing hallucinations. How could Harvey give up buying the copyright of hero? He is so familiar with the film and television market. Now the popularity of hero has been promoted by Li Mu. He should not give up!

Paul thought that Zhang Weiping really didn't hear clearly, and patiently said, "Zhang, our boss has given up buying the copyright of hero, so we don't need to meet."

"You..." Zhang Weiping understood this time, and asked, "what do you mean? I want to play the game of temporary price reduction, right? I tell you, you can't do it! You don't want the copyright of hero. Some people want it! "

Paul well, light way: "you think more, we really don't want, since you said that some people will want, then you'd better sell it to others, goodbye!"

After saying this, Paul hung up the phone, Zhang Weiping heard the busy tone on the phone, his face was livid.

Zhang asked him, "what's the matter? Has Harvey finished the moth again

Zhang Weiping nodded: "his representative said that they have given up buying our copyright..."

"Damn it!" The management representative immediately raised the case: "does Harvey want to do the same thing again? Does he really think we're going to be led by his nose? He doesn't open his eyes to see. Today is not the same as before. He plays hard to get with us. We won't give him a chance! Anyway, there must be a large number of film companies willing to buy the copyright of our film! "

Director Zhang frowned. He knew the importance of Harvey. If this movie wants to win an international award, it is only possible to give it to Harvey for operation. If it is released by another company, it may not be able to operate international awards at all, and the box office is not guaranteed.

Then Zhang advised, "don't worry, Mr. Liu. Let's calm down and have a good discussion."

The management representative asked, "what is there to discuss? Directly contact all the film and television companies in Hollywood and say that we want to sell the market copyright of this film in various countries. Our film has such a great influence now, there must be countless companies competing for it! ""We'd better have a good chat with Harvey again, after all, his strength is obvious to all. If we can cooperate with him, it will be the best for us."

"What a fart!" The management representative sneered and said: "Harvey's game is to buy it at a low price. You sell it to him at a low price. What does it have to do with us to earn more money?"

Then the management representative looked at director Zhang and asked, "director Zhang, I know what you are thinking about. I just want Harvey to take this movie away and make it a high box office. Do you have a good face? If he is happy and canvass you for an Oscar nomination or even an Oscar, you will not worry about anything in the future, but have you ever thought about how much money we have invested in this movie? The domestic box office has lost so much. If we sell the overseas copyright at a low price, how can we recover the cost? "

At present, the management is extremely disappointed in the movie "hero". After so many days of release, the real box office in China has just reached more than 20 million yuan. There is still a lot of money lost in brushing the box office, and the revenue is even less pitiful, even the cost of the change can not be recovered.

Zhang Dao was stabbed in the heart by the management representatives. He didn't know how to respond for a while. He really wanted to sell more to Harvey. It was the investors who lost money in the box office. To be honest, he didn't care about it very much. The most important thing was whether he could get the nomination of the international award after the movie came out. Every nomination was his own reputation, and it was about himself Your future worth.

Zhang Weiping saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, so he had to step out and ease down: "President Liu and Lao Zhang, don't get excited. Don't forget that the initiative is now in our hands."

He put forward his suggestion: "I don't think so. Let's first communicate with the film and television distribution companies of overseas countries, disclose our intention to sell the overseas copyright of hero, and ask them to give us a quotation. The key is that it can give Harvey some pressure. Maybe Harvey can give us a satisfactory price under the pressure at last. ”

the management representative was silent for a moment and nodded slightly. At present, it seems that this solution can only be used.

……

In order to put more pressure on Harvey, the producers of hero immediately began to communicate with major Hollywood film and television companies, distribution companies and industry leaders, hoping that they could buy the copyright of hero, but what they never imagined was that no matter how they publicized and praised the quality and current influence of hero, Hollywood All the people who contacted them refused them without hesitation.

By the night of Yanjing time, the producers of hero had contacted the film and television companies and insiders that the whole Hollywood could find, which made them more and more desperate: all companies made it clear that they didn't want the copyright of hero, or even didn't wait for them to offer a price, but they immediately refused to hear the title of hero, as if the whole world The world is hiding from this movie like a plague.

The whole team lost the excitement and optimism that they had before. They were all thinking about one question: why didn't they want the copyright of hero? It's so famous now, and its market potential is great!

Management representatives, Zhang Weiping and director Zhang are all asking for advice. After several inquiries, they finally get the news from a Hollywood company. The other side said: now the whole Hollywood is amazed by Li Mu's film and television ticketing system. A large number of bosses of Hollywood film and television companies and theater companies set out to China in order to get the system from Li Mu The right to use in North America; as for hero, everyone knows Li Mu's super strength and influence. Since YY is crazy about Huaxia film and television company and the producer of hero, everyone knows that Li Mu has a feud with it, so the big guys in the film and television industry are not willing to offend Li Mu because of a hero.

Li Mu has a great influence in Hollywood, not only because his film and television ticketing system is coveted by the whole Hollywood, but also because he has a strong influence in North America and even the whole west.

What's more, his YY has completely occupied the whole western internet users, and he has great influence. If he is offended, it's really not a good day.

Therefore, for all these reasons, overseas film and television distribution companies and individuals are afraid to take the hot potato hero. Otherwise, if Li Mu is looking for an opportunity to retaliate in the future, no one can bear his strong pressure, especially those film and television industries that rely on users to eat.

At this time, Zhang Weiping and the whole "hero" team realized in despair that if Li Mu was annoyed, he could be driven to the death. If the domestic box office of "hero" had lost, he could not lose any more. If there was no one to take over because of Li Mu's influence, wouldn't the overseas market and overseas film awards have been completely lost?

There are no tears in the management's tears. Hundreds of millions of yuan of cash have been smashed in, and the actual millions of box office profits have been returned. If there is no distributor in the world, the film will rot in the ground, and then the mother will die!
