Chapter 151: Who pits whom?

Chapter 151 Who is cheating who?

The investigation order against Tang En has not been lifted, but many major newspapers obviously got some inside information, less criticism of Tang En, and more concerns and worries about the stock market crash.

However, there are not a few paparazzi and reporters outside of Tang En Films.

Since the image crisis, Tang En appeared in front of many reporters for the first time, followed by many staff members, and was also willing to accept interviews.

"I reserve the right to sue for many false remarks in the media!" Before the reporters could speak, Tang En had a cold face and directly stirred up the topic.

"I know that many people are paying attention to my affairs, but I believe that the clearer will clear himself! I believe that the FBI's investigation will have results soon, and I believe that the federation will protect my legal rights. As for those who spread rumors and defame The media, if they continue to slander me unrealistically, I will definitely take up the arms of the law."

Most of the people present were entertainment reporters, who were not interested in serious topics such as crime and law, and were more interested in Hollywood gossip.

That's the biggest selling point.

"Mr. Walker, Hollywood's gold medal producer Jerry Bruckheimer canceled the cooperation with Dunn Films on the "The Chronicles of Narnia" project. Excuse me, what do you think about this matter?"

Tang En was imposing with a calm expression, "It's just a disagreement at work. Mr. Bruckheimer may believe many false remarks in the media. But it doesn't matter. Without this partner, we can seek a bigger partner."

"A bigger partner?" The reporters immediately frowned and became excited.

At this time, in addition to those Hollywood stars, will there be big companies that stand for Dunn? Even the world can't avoid it!

Dunn's expression didn't change in the slightest, "That's right. In fact, we are rushing to Warner Bros., and I have made an appointment with Mr. Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros., to discuss the project "The Chronicles of Narnia". Start cooperation negotiations.”

"Warner?"

The reporters shouted in shock!

Time Warner was the world's largest media conglomerate before it merged with AOL, and is now worth more than $300 billion more than the second-largest media conglomerate, Viacom.

In Hollywood, although everyone doesn't talk about it, they are like mirrors in their hearts. Dunn is now under joint pressure from Disney and Fox. But once Dunn Pictures and Warner reached a cooperation, backed by a super giant like aol Time Warner, even if the Disney Group and the News Corporation together, they are far from rivals!

Is this young man really going to get through the difficulties in front of him?

Alan Horn is an outstanding talent for film content, and his ability is even higher than that of Bill McNick. Dunn has a good impression of him, and has never given up his solicitation in his heart.

It's just that Alan Horn is now the vice chairman of the board of directors and president of Warner Bros. With the current scale of Dunn Pictures, it is far from enough.

As the head of Warner's film content, Alan Horn has seen some of the footage of "The Lord of the Rings" and is very satisfied.

He already had a hunch that Peter Jackson, through the film series "The Lord of the Rings", would set off a wave of hilarious ridicule of fantasy movies!

And "The Chronicles of Narnia" is exactly the same fantasy series as "The Lord of the Rings".

More importantly, there are only 3 "Lord of the Rings" and 7 "The Chronicles of Narnia"!

If we can cooperate with Dunn Films to fully develop the classic series "The Chronicles of Narnia", then in the next ten years, it will bring at least one billion dollars in revenue to Warner.

Therefore, the negotiation went very smoothly, Warner expects success, Dunn needs allies, and cooperation can be achieved in one shot.

Warner Films invested 80 million US dollars, Dunn Pictures invested 70 million US dollars and the film rights of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", each holding 50 shares and a total investment of 150 million US dollars. Filming of The Legend of Nia.

"Dawn, Warner needs to get the distribution rights." After talking about the production share, Alan Horn asked for the distribution rights again.

Tang En frowned, "I'm afraid this is not easy to handle. We signed an agreement with Universal, and Universal will obtain the distribution rights for the films produced by Dunn Pictures in the next three years."

"But this movie is a joint investment of both of us, right?" Alan Horn looked at him with a smile.

Dunn thought it was difficult, "Why don't we do this, the distribution rights in North America will be handed over to Warner. The overseas distribution rights will continue to be handed over to Universal. After all, Dunn Pictures owns half of the copyright of this movie, and Universal should get half of the distribution. right."

Alan Horn's deep eyes didn't mean anything, and then he smiled heartily, "Dang En, you have been having a hard time these days."

Tang En sighed bitterly, "Yeah, I was investigated by the FBI for no reason, and I also got into trouble with the two big guys, Disney and Fox. It's not easy for anyone."

"It's really for no reason? How did I hear that you made a lot of money on Nasdaq and made Wall Street jealous?" Alan Horn laughed and looked at Dunn, then waved his hand, "As for Disney And Fox is like your partner Universal, which doesn't give you much help."

Tang En looked helpless, "No way, Universal's big backer is about to collapse, and a film company of its own cannot compete with those two media groups."

Alan Horn nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "So you need a new partner."

"But I already signed a contract with Universal."

"That's the problem you have to solve, at least for the project "The Chronicles of Narnia", Warner wants to get the distribution rights." Alan Horn's face flashed a bit of displeasure.

"If" Dunn picked up his eyes and glanced at Alan Horn, "if Warner can provide some benefits that Universal cannot provide, then it is not impossible that the distribution rights of the movie will be handed over to Warner Pictures."

"Oh? What interest?" Alan Horn half-smiled.

Everyone is smart, and they all know where the focus of this negotiation is, but they don't get it out. To test each other, whoever speaks first with obvious motives will definitely be greatly compromised in terms of interests.

Tang En slumped, "It's not a PR crisis, Disney and Fox are not easy to deal with!"

Alan Horn laughed.

Tang En sighed secretly and scolded the other party as an old fox. After all, he was young and needed to grow in the way of negotiation. Fortunately, his original idea for the project "The Chronicles of Narnia" was to give Warner a "bribe".

"The Chronicles of Narnia project will have many sequels in the future. In this way, we can sign an agreement, and Warner has priority cooperation rights and priority distribution rights."

Dunn made up his mind instantly and made a huge concession.

"Very good." Alan Horn was very satisfied with Tang En's smoothness, and the smile lines in the corners of his eyes deepened, "Since it is a partner, the image of Tang En Pictures also represents the interests of Warners. For any company that damages the interests of Warners, Neither of us will be polite."

Tang En secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This was the guarantee he wanted most in this negotiation.

"By the way, there is one more thing, I have to ask Mr. Horn for help." Dunn paused, as if he suddenly thought of something.

Alan Horn smiled: "Of course, as long as I can."

"It's a matter of one sentence." Tang En understated his performance, as if he didn't care, "You know, I acquired Marvel Entertainment, but the copyrights of many superheroes are still left behind. Among them, Warner's New Line Pictures , and got the copyright of the Blade Warrior. We have tried hard to get the copyright back, but it seems that we have encountered some major resistance."

Alan Horn doesn't move on to Cesium.

Of course he knew about it!

"Blade Runner" failed at the box office, and Fresh Pictures had long thought about returning the copyright to Marvel Entertainment. Since the project was cancelled, there was no need to waste $500,000 in copyright rental fees every year.

It was Alan Horn who stopped this, because he was keenly aware that Dunn was not as simple as he imagined. For the "Harry Potter" project, Warner seemed to be out.

Fortunately, this FBI investigation turned Warner around, not only brought Dunn Pictures into a deadlock, but Warner unexpectedly won the cooperation right of "The Chronicles of Narnia".

Simply a great harvest!

"The Chronicles of Narnia" is much more famous than "Harry Potter"!

Now that the cooperation is reached, he naturally does not need to block the way of "Blade Warrior" home~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Warner's banner has DC Comics, so I really don't like Blade Warrior, the last-rate superhero.

"And this?" Alan Horn seemed to be surprised, his brows furrowed, "Let this matter be left to me! Don, don't worry, within a week, I promise to let the blade fighters go home!"

Dunn showed a "surprised" expression, "Is it true, Mr. Horn?"

"Exactly!"

On the way back, Ella Fisher was a little gloomy, while Dunn was in a good mood and asked with a smile, "What's wrong Ella? Who made you angry?"

Ella Fisher said angrily: "Dawn, have we been tricked?"

"What?" Tang En blinked, stunned.

Isla Fisher gritted her teeth and said, "That Alan Horn, at first glance, is not a good person. It's not enough to get half of the copyright, and he wants to get his hands on the distribution rights. Isn't this bullying?"

Dunn laughed.

Ella Fisher stomped her feet angrily, "You still have the mood to laugh? I didn't expect you to be so weak. If I were to, I would definitely not bow to them. Warners would be amazing, right?"

Tang En shook his head with a smile, looked out the car window, and said softly, "Trick me? Hmph, in this world, the people who want to take advantage of me have not been born yet!"

"Um?"

Ella Fisher's eyes flashed, and the words stopped at the Adam's apple.

Thinking of Tang En's tough Xingge in the past, she seemed to understand but not understanding, and a cloud of suspicion rose in her heart: "Could it be that he is playing tricks on Warner? It's not like that, the movie copyright of "The Chronicles of Narnia" is a real deal. real"

Isla Fisher bit her lip, puzzled.
