Chapter 207 Warner Has No Choice (Please recommend and collect)
However, Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "Mr. Manville, you have to understand that I am not only going to act in this movie, but also investing in it."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Manville's expression changed, and he said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Xiao said bluntly: "The script of "Batman: The Dark Knight" is enough to be called a classic, and I want to get 50% of the investment."

"It's impossible!" Manville said bluntly.

He has no way to talk to the board of directors about this, let alone 50% of the investment amount, even the investment opportunities, the board of directors may not agree.

Zhang Xiao looked at Manville with burning eyes, and said, "Mr. Manville, do you think I'm doing it for myself?"

"No, I am also for you. I will donate all the profits from this 50% investment to the Red Cross Society of Huaguo. First, I want to thank the fans of Huaguo for their support. The second is to give Huaguo fans an explanation. .”

But Manville justified: "We Warner can do the same!"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "If you do this, the fans will only think that you are just putting on a show, and you are not sincerely doing charity. At that time, this matter will become even worse."

At this time, Li Liangjie who was next to him also interjected: "Zhang Xiao is right, Mr. Manville, the current situation can only be resolved by him himself. No matter what you do, in the eyes of Huaguo movie fans, it is just a show."

Manville thought for a while and said, "I can't give you an accurate answer to this matter right now. I need to report it to the company's headquarters. Now, Mr. Zhang, please state the third condition."

Zhang Xiao said slowly: "My third condition is to buy 50% of the film and television copyrights of the four comic characters Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman."

Swish!
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Manville stood up with a face full of shock, looked at Zhang Xiao and said sharply: "Mr. Zhang, do you know what you are talking about?"

Not to mention him, even Director Chris and Li Liangjie were shocked when they heard Zhang Xiao's words.

These four comic characters are the core of DC comics, and it is absolutely impossible for Warner to sell their copyrights.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Manville, don't be so excited, this is just my self-protection method."

"As long as you don't do anything against me in the future, I will definitely not affect your filming."

Manville said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, sorry, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Zhang Xiao looked indifferent, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Then I'm sorry, your Warner family has a big business, and I'm just a small actor. Without the copyright of these four characters, I still have to be played to death by you." what!"

Manville narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Mr. Zhang is not only a young actor, but also the third largest shareholder of Disney. How could we do anything unfavorable to you?"

Obviously, before coming to China to find Zhang Xiao, Manville had done enough homework.

However, what Manville said shocked Chris and Li Liangjie so much that their eyeballs almost fell out.

Especially Li Liangjie, he really couldn't connect his little brother with Disney's shareholders.

Disney is a super film company with a market value of more than 800 billion US dollars, one of the six major film companies in Hollywood!

But Zhang Xiao is just a group performer who has worked hard in Hengdian for several years, and it has only been more than two years since his debut.

Now I suddenly heard that this former object group performer, who has just debuted for two years, is actually a shareholder of Disney. Li Liangjie couldn't believe his ears.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "I like to plan ahead. Mr. Manville, I can tell you the truth. All six major Hollywood film companies have called me during this period, especially Disney."

"They call me almost every day. You should know what the purpose is."

"You, Warner, have caused strong dissatisfaction from the Huaguo Culture Department and movie fans. You have no other choice. The only one who can save you is me."

Manville's face became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang is threatening us?"

"No, no, I'm just telling the truth!" Zhang Xiao replied.

After being silent for a while, Manville asked tentatively, "How much are you going to pay for 50% of the film and television copyright of these four characters?"

Zhang Xiao stretched out four fingers and said, "4000 million US dollars."

"Mr. Zhang really knows how to do business with a price of 1000 million US dollars!" Manville was delighted by Zhang Xiao's offer.

Zhang Xiao said lightly: "This is already a lot!"

Manville didn't say anything more, but changed the subject, took out his mobile phone and said to Zhang Xiao, "I want to make a call first."

"Please."

After Manville went out to make a phone call, Li Liangjie next to him tugged on Zhang Xiao's clothes and couldn't help asking, "Zhang Xiao, are you really a shareholder of Disney?"

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Jie!"

Although Manville had heard it before, Li Liangjie was still shocked when he heard Zhang Xiao admitting it himself, and asked curiously: "How could Disney sell the shares to you?"

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "Because I exchanged shares through Marvel Comics, I will tell you about this in detail later."

"Brother Jie, do you think Warner will agree to my three conditions?" Zhang Xiao looked at Li Liangjie and asked.

Li Liangjie smiled and said: "Yes, they don't have any choice now, but if you use this matter to blackmail Warner and make profits for yourself, if you let the movie fans in Huaguo know, I'm afraid it will have a very bad influence on you. !"

Zhang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "I have never thought of making profits for myself. Whether it is movies or equity, I will donate all the money I earn to the Red Cross to build Hope Primary Schools and orphanages."

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Li Liangjie gave a thumbs up and said, "It's done beautifully. If it's like this, there won't be any problems."

···
Half an hour later, Manville walked into the private room with a gloomy expression.

Li Liangjie guessed right, Warner agreed to all of Zhang Xiao's conditions.

Now Zhang Xiao was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Brother Jie, let's serve, I want to have a drink with Mr. Manville."

But how could Manville drink at this moment?He said with a sullen face, "No need, I really don't have much appetite today, Mr. Zhang, we will sign the contract tomorrow morning, so I will go first."

"Then...Mr. Manville go slowly!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

After Manville left angrily, Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand to Chris, and said, "Director Chris, I'm here on your set, please take care of me!"
