My Animation Era

  Chapter 572 The Olive Branch of Hollywood (for subscription)

  The smooth completion of the animation "Digimon" not only brought Gu Miao's reputation to a higher level, but also dealt a heavy blow to the theme of "Adventure Through Different Worlds".

  No one expected this result.

   It can only be said that Gu Miao's interview a year ago is still playing a huge role today.

  What does it mean to be a master of Guoman?

  Gu Miao, who was preparing to retreat tactically and educate Huang Kun and others about the influence of "the first person in the history of Guoman", suddenly received a call from North America.

   "What?!"

   "Are you kidding me?"

   After answering the phone, Gu Miao subconsciously pinched Huang Kun's arm. It wasn't until Huang Kun stared at him resentfully that he realized it was not a dream.

   "What's the matter?"

  Old Zhang leaned over and asked: "What happened? The digital world is going to attack our Wanbao and **** the sacred plan?"

"no!"

   Gu Miao, who just hung up the phone, raised the corners of her mouth, and said in a very strange tone: "Can you believe that Hollywood film and television companies want to buy copyright from us?"

   "Ah this?!"

  The people in the room were all stunned.

  What is the situation?

   It can be said that no one knows the big names in Hollywood. Huang Kun, Lao Zhang and the others, as veteran movie fans who often watch Hollywood blockbusters, naturally understand where it is.

  But now Mr. Gu said that Hollywood intends to buy the copyright of Wanbao Animation to shoot live-action movies?

   "What animation?!"

  Lao Zhang was the first to regain his composure, frowned and asked, "Our company has a lot of IPs, but not many are suitable for adapting live-action movies, right?"

   "Two for the time being, "Sailor Moon" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"!"

  Gu Miao explained: "The other party said that if the response to the film is good after the release, we can deepen the cooperation and launch more film projects."

   Sure enough, we came prepared!

  As soon as Mr. Gu mentioned the two IPs of "Sailor Moon" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", everyone immediately understood the thinking of this Hollywood film and television company.

   Let’s not talk about Sailor Moon.

  Phenomenon-level animation that exploded globally has a very wide influence all over the world. It is not surprising that the other party is eyeing this IP.

   As for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

   It was surprising at first, but after thinking about it, it seems quite reasonable. After all, the animation of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is also very popular overseas, at least more popular than domestic ones.

   "How do you say, do you want to sell?"

  Gu Miao asked: "I made a preliminary inquiry about the quotation just now, and I feel that it is quite sincere, and the other party is also willing to share the proceeds from the movie peripherals."

   "Well..."

   Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

  Hollywood is famous, and this film and television company is also considered one of the giants in Hollywood. It must be a good thing to cooperate.

   But the IP "Sailor Moon" is one of the treasures of Wanbao's "bottom box"!

   It is not a question of money or not.

   Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was the same as Marvel selling the copyright of the little spider, and it couldn't be taken back later?

   And the other party bought the copyright and planned to make a live-action movie, so they must want to choose Hollywood actors.

   Blonde Sailor Moon…

  Compared to the many concerns of "Sailor Moon", everyone has no objection to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

   If you can sell it, you will be considered a success!

  For the live-action version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, on the one hand, Wanbao did not have the strength; on the other hand, it lacked suitable resources and directors.

Plus…

  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are "alternative" superheroes, and it doesn't matter who plays them. There is no problem that European and American actors will feel that the style of painting is inconsistent.

   "OK!"

  After listening to everyone's discussion, Gu Miao pondered for a moment and said: "Well, since everyone has concerns about "Sailor Moon", let's put it aside for now."

   "Let's talk about "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" with each other, what do you think?"

"no problem!"

  Everyone nodded.

   As one of Wanbao’s bottom IPs, the copyright of the animation “Sailor Moon” cannot be easily sold to avoid becoming the next Spider-Man.

  But "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" doesn't have this concern.

   As one of Wanbao's marginalized and less valued IPs. Selling the rights to a live-action film adaptation of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to Hollywood is actually not a big deal.

  As long as it doesn’t affect Wanbao’s continued production of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animation and the sale of toys related to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it doesn’t matter who the movie is for.

   Might as well say...

  It is a good thing to sell the film adaptation rights, because Hollywood may promote the film to the world. By then, the IP of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" will be more famous, and Wanbao will be the biggest beneficiary.

  …

  After making a decision, Wanbao Animation quickly approached Hollywood film and television giants and started in-depth and detailed negotiations.

   After the news came out, the biggest reaction was not those "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" animation fans, but Du Hao who was filming the movie "Riding the Horse".

"why?"

  Du Hao felt wronged.

   At the beginning, he was the first to focus on the comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and he was also the first to propose that he would adapt this comic into a movie in the future.

  Gu Miao also agreed.

  But now they sell it as soon as they say it, without considering his feelings at all. As far as Du Hao is concerned, it's no wonder he's not in a hurry!

   "If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come."

   "Don't worry! I will definitely give you a compensation in the future, which is not inferior to the super IP of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"..."

   In this matter, Gu Miao really owes Du Hao a debt. After all, he was the one who sent Du Hao to Wanbao comics for retreat, which made him come into contact with the comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

   Now sold the adaptation rights.

  The saddest and most reluctant person must be Du Hao.

  Gu Miao could understand his emotions, and at the same time tried her best to appease Du Hao, trying to make him understand the decision made by the company.

  The other party gave too much!

   If he had given a little less, Gu Miao might not have sold so decisively, but if tens of millions were spent, it was still US dollars, and his bottom line could not be maintained in an instant.

   How rich!

   It can only be said that Gu Miao has never seen such an arbitrarily taken advantage of in his life, and he feels really sorry if he doesn't kill him severely.

   "All right, all right!"

  After Gu Miao's reassurance, and the fact that Hollywood really paid a lot of money, Du Hao understood after a few words.

   Of course, that's not the point.

  The point is that Gu Miao hinted to him that Wanbao has the right to speak in this collaboration, and he might be able to get him into it, so he can learn from it as an assistant director on the set.

  What's the fuss?

   Du Hao is quite satisfied to have the opportunity to study with mature foreign directors of commercial films, even if it is only a "nominal" assistant director.

   This is definitely a rare opportunity for him, a good opportunity to improve his directing level!

   However, time is a bit tight.

  The progress of the movie "Riding the Horse" must be accelerated, otherwise he may not be able to catch up with the opportunity to join the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie as an assistant director.
