Chapter 853 Dimei (2/3)
There are six major film giants in Hollywood: Time, Imperial, 19th Century, La Quinta, Pan Am, and Monaco.
This time, the company that came to China to strongly request to purchase the rights to adapt the "Spider-Man" comic book movie was Dimei Film Company.
Yang Ming was thinking about Di Mei's information, and couldn't help showing a solemn look on his face.
Although Pan American is also considered a Hollywood film giant, neither the strength of the film company itself nor the energy of Coakley behind it are comparable to Dime.
Although Pan American Entertainment also has other directors and backgrounds, they are a far cry from Di Mei.
Moreover, after Barber left Pan American Entertainment, Pan American Entertainment's situation became increasingly unoptimistic. Several blockbuster movies that had been shot with huge investment have suffered box office losses one after another. Even if they were profitable, the figures were still far from their estimates.
These are not what Yang Ming cares about. What he cares about more is Di Mei's domineering style.
He had heard Barber introduce every movie giant in Hollywood in detail. Barber had been in Hollywood for decades and knew the backgrounds and backstage forces of these giants very well.
When talking about the giant Dimei, Barber once said that if Dimei's behavior is what he can't get, then he will be completely destroyed.
More than ten years ago, a film company was established in Hollywood. All the shareholders and partners were either well-known Hollywood directors or powerful tycoons. It can be said that they joined forces.
After the establishment of this company, it did not disappoint and successively produced several blockbuster classic films.
After one or two years of development, the company's business in Hollywood was booming. The president of the company at the time even shouted the slogan of becoming the seventh film giant in Hollywood.
However, just this year, the company suffered successive blows.
Whether it was the promotion before the movie was released, the movie theater schedule, or the invitations they sent out to many Hollywood stars when they were casting for new movies, they all received crazy suppression.
The promotional media did not cooperate, the theater schedule rate dropped significantly, and many Hollywood heavyweight stars declined the invitation.
All kinds of suppression made this year a nightmare for this film company that aspires to become a giant film company.
Two years later, the company suffered huge losses, and then nothing happened again.
The company was dissolved within two years, its assets were sold off, and its copyrights were sold off at a low price. The results were extremely cruel. From its birth to its glory and then its demise, the company was like a meteor streaking through the sky in Hollywood.
But Hollywood kept silent about what happened that year, and the truth of the matter was gradually covered up.
However, Barber was the CEO of Pan American Entertainment at the time and was very aware of everything that happened. He even participated in suppressing the film company on behalf of Pan American Entertainment at the time.
And the leader is Dimei.
Barber told Yang Ming why Dimei chose to stand up and suppress the film company, except that the cakes were limited.
That is, this film company rejected DiMei's request for cooperation. In particular, it was unwilling to transfer the rights to adapt a novel and film it had already acquired to DiMei, and was not even willing to co-produce it.
Hence everything that followed.
Because the rights to adapt this novel into a movie were highly favored by everyone in the industry, so many movie companies were competing for it, but this movie company got it, but it also suffered a disaster.
For Hollywood's film giants, they do not exclude cooperation with other film companies. Otherwise, how could there be so many film companies in Hollywood?
Even in Hollywood, collaboration is still mainstream.
When it comes to film investment and filming, it is rare for one film company to invest in filming. Usually, several parties are brought in to invest in film filming, which is to share risks.
Of course, for joint venture shooting, the copyright must be in the hands of these giants.
Di Mei is so domineering and has such strength and ability.
Lian Xingyu saw that Yang Ming remained silent and didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Yang, the other party may have gone to Oriental Comics. What do you think we should do next?"
Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled. It seemed that he was really intimidated by the other party's name.
In other words, he is a little afraid that the other party will ruin his plan to promote Chinese martial arts culture and kung fu movies in the American film market.
However, he also realizes that there are some things that cannot be avoided. After all, Oriental DreamWorks has proven its strength through the success of several movies.
Whether in China, the United States or Europe, it already has a certain audience base.
It is impossible for the industry to ignore this film company, which has just been established but has repeatedly created miracles.
"Does the other party know the relationship between Oriental DreamWorks and Oriental Comics?" Yang Ming thought for a moment and asked.
Lian Xingyu scratched the back of his head and said in a somewhat hesitant tone: "I'm not sure, I guess I should know, since the other party is such a big film company, these should be able to be found."
Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully.
Obviously, with the strength of Dime Film Company, it is not surprising to find out the true relationship between Oriental DreamWorks and Oriental Comics, even if the other party is a foreign entertainment company.
But since the other party knew about the relationship between Oriental DreamWorks and Oriental Comics, why did the people from Dime Pictures come to China to look for Oriental Comics instead of directly coming to look for Oriental DreamWorks?
Or why not talk to Yang Ming directly about this matter?
Dime Film Company must have known that without Yang Ming's nod in the end, it would have been absolutely impossible to acquire the film adaptation rights of "Spider-Man".
The other party's thoughts will definitely not be so simple.
Yang Ming suddenly thought of a question and immediately asked Lian Xingyu: "How many ideas have you created so far among the ideas I gave you last time?"
Lian Xingyu didn't quite understand why Yang Ming asked about this matter at this time, but he immediately replied: "Last time you gave us three creative ideas, namely "Spider-Man", "Hulk", and "Thor"
"Three creative ideas, but currently our main focus is on "Spider-Man", and the other two creative ideas are still designing characters."
"So you mean most of your internal staff already know these two ideas?" Yang Ming continued to ask.
"Yes." After Lian Xingyu answered, he immediately realized Yang Ming's intention in asking this question, and said in an unconvincing tone: "Mr. Yang, are you suspecting that someone has leaked these two ideas? Wucuo Novel Network
It shouldn’t be too many words, right? Wucuo Novel Network has a lot of words.”
When Yang Ming heard this, he took a deep breath and his face became a little unhappy. He didn't blame Lian Xingyu for not being confidential enough, the problem still lay with him.
He didn't know that Oriental Comics would soon attract such a vicious tiger as Di Mei. Although Oriental Comics had signed a strict confidentiality agreement with the employees below, as long as they were willing to pay the price for such an agreement, he could guarantee that there would definitely be people who couldn't resist the temptation.
.
"You should apply for patents for these two ideas immediately, and go to the notary office for notarization at the same time. I will also make a call to Minister Guo of the Ministry of Culture to see if this matter can be completed today." Yang Ming was extremely decisive.
said.
He had a hunch in his heart that if Dimei didn't get what they wanted, they would probably not do things according to the rules.
I hope they won't choose this method, otherwise he won't mind letting these old Americans know that when they come to China, they have to lie down even if they are tigers, and they have to be coiled up even if they are dragons.
My territory is my decision!
