Entertainment: God-level Director Starts with Animals

"You don't need to worry about the issue of spending. Our studio is currently very well funded! No matter how much money is spent, the movies we make must be realistic enough!"

Xiao Yiran shook his head and insisted.

It is true that shooting through green screen can reach the point where the fake is real, but there is still a certain gap with the real shooting.

Xiao Yiran's requirements for movies have always been excellence, and of course such flaws cannot be tolerated.

Seeing that Xiao Yiran had made up his mind, Liu Quan and the other three assistant directors were a little helpless, but they could only nod their heads in agreement.

They already knew Xiao Yiran's character very well.

Before Xiao Yiran makes a decision, they can raise different opinions.

But once Xiao Yiran made up his mind, they could only obey.

"After you go back, notify the rest of the crew and let them get ready to go to the prairie."

897 Xiao Yiran finally warned Liu Quan and others, and sent them out of here.

Soon after Liu Quan and the three left, the rest of the crew also knew that they were going to the prairie to shoot "The Lion King".

If it were other crews, they might be dissatisfied with this.

After all, going to the prairie to shoot, how can it be comfortable to shoot in the film and television city!

But in the past two years, Xiao Yiran's prestige in the crew has reached the extreme, and everyone is used to obeying Xiao Yiran's orders. Of course, they absolutely obey Xiao Yiran's words.

In the next period of time, the entire crew suddenly became busy and began to make the final preparations for going to the prairie.

As the chief director of "The Lion King", Xiao Yiran has to worry about the food and drink of so many people and animals. Of course, he is the busiest person.

"Dong dong!"

When Xiao Yiran was processing a pile of documents in the office, there was a knock on the door of the office, and then Cheng Yuqi pushed open the door and walked in.

"Yuqi, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yiran didn't lift his head, and asked Cheng Yuqi while processing the documents.

"Mr. Xiao, Disney's manager, Thomas Lukey, is here. They said they want to talk to you on behalf of the company. Do you want to see them now?"

Cheng Yuqi reports to Xiao Yiran.

Chapter 254 Do you think my IP is cabbage?

"The people from Disney are here? What are they doing in our small studio?"

Xiao Yiran was a little puzzled, but still got up and said, "The other party has come all the way, no matter what they have, let's go see them!"

Then Xiao Yiran and Cheng Yuqi left the office and went to the reception room next door.

At this time, two white men were sitting in the reception room, one of them was in his thirties and the other was in his early twenties.

When they saw Xiao Yiran come in, they quickly stood up.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Thomas Lukey, the general manager of Disney's business department. This is my assistant, Varvin White. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

The white man in his thirties who took the lead shook hands with Xiao Yiran and introduced.

"You two, please sit down!"

Xiao Yiran nodded. After asking the two to sit down, Xiao Yiran asked directly, "Our studio has never cooperated with Disney before, right? What's the matter with the two of you coming all the way?"

Seeing Xiao Yiran's question being so direct, Thomas Lukey also answered straight to the point: "Our company heard that Mr. Xiao is going to shoot a real version of "The Lion King", so we want to cooperate with you to make this "The Lion King" a reality. "King" animation, making a "Lion King" animated film, I wonder what Mr. Xiao thinks?"

Hearing Thomas Lukey's words, Xiao Yiran said a little surprised: "You guys are very quick to respond! We haven't turned on the phone yet, and your people have already arrived!"

"It may be because our company is more sensitive to this aspect!"

Thomas Lucky explained with a smile: "When we knew that Director Xiao you were going to shoot a film purely based on animals, the animation designers in our company were shocked by your genius creativity, Mr. Xiao! Then they found out , "The Lion King" is very suitable for animation, so the company filmed me."

"What kind of cooperation conditions did your company offer?"? "

Xiao Yiran thought for a while, and then asked Thomas Lukey.

Xiao Yiran doesn't mind cooperating with Disney, but the premise is that the other party has to come up with conditions that can make him tempted.

"We want the animation copyright of "The Lion King". After the "Lion King" animation movie is released, we can give Mr. Xiao a [*]% share of the box office. What do you think?"

Thomas Lukey asked Xiao Yiran tentatively.

"If you Disney want to cooperate, show your sincerity, or please come back. I've been very busy recently!"

Xiao Yiran shook his head and sneered: "Who doesn't know that you Disney don't make money from movie box office at all, and the most profitable thing for you is always the movie peripherals! What's the use of the [*]% of the box office revenue you give me?"

Hearing Xiao Yiran's merciless words, Thomas Lukey looked a little embarrassed. He shrugged and said, "Okay, Mr. Xiao, the conditions just now remain the same, we can give you [*]% of the income from the movie!"

The condition that Thomas Lukey just put forward was just a test. Xiao Yiran agreed to do better. If he did not agree, he would increase the latter condition.

"The animation copyright of "The Lion King" cannot be given to you."

Xiao Yiran shook his head and said firmly: "All copyrights related to "The Lion King" belong to our studio."

"Mr. Xiao, are you so insincere?"

Thomas Lukey said with an ugly expression.

Obtaining the film copyright of "The Lion King" is the most important task that the company entrusted to him, and it is also the reason why their company wants to cooperate with Xiao Yiran.

If it can't get the animation copyright of "The Lion King", Disney has no need to cooperate with Xiao Yiran at all.

Could it be that they worked so hard for Disney to promote the "Lion King" IP, and in the end all the benefits were taken away by Xiao Yiran?

Xiao Yiran also knew that it was impossible not to give Disney a little benefit, so he thought for a while and said: "The animation method of "The Lion King" belongs to our studio, this will not change, but I can lease the animation copyright to You Disney...let's rent it for ten years, what do you think?"

The conditions given by Disney are still very good, and if you want to make the IP of "The Lion King" popular, it really can't be done without Disney's participation, so Xiao Yiran will propose the matter of renting the copyright.

"This……"

Thomas Luki hesitated for a while, but still said to Xiao Yiran: "I have to discuss this matter with the company. Let's visit Mr. Xiao again tomorrow!"

"no problem!"

Xiao Yiran nodded, then got up and sent Thomas Lukey out the door.

By the next morning, Thomas Lukey hadn't arrived yet, but the people from Paramount came again.

"Hello Mr. Xiao, I'm Jesse Duke, Paramount's business manager, nice to meet you."

The person from Paramount was a fat white man in his early [*]s. He enthusiastically shook hands with Xiao Yiran and introduced himself.

"...Hello, Mr. Duke."

Xiao Yiran nodded with a smile, asked the other party to sit down and asked, "I wonder why Mr. Duke came from afar?"

Xiao Yiran felt a bit too coincidental. The people from Disney just arrived yesterday, and the people from Paramount are here today.

Obviously, Xiao Yiran is no longer a nobody.

He now also has a certain status internationally, worthy of the attention of Hollywood giants such as Disney and Paramount.

"Mr. Xiao, Paramount sent me here this time. Actually, there is a cooperation to discuss with Mr. Xiao."

Jesse Duke looked at Xiao Yiran with a smile and said.

"Oh? I don't know what you are going to talk about?"

Xiao Yiran asked indifferently.

Jesse Duke's appearance is a bit high-spirited, as if it was Xiao Yiran's honor to cooperate with them Paramount, which made Xiao Yiran a little unhappy.

"We heard that Director Xiao is going to shoot a new movie "The Lion King". We want to animate this movie. I wonder what (Qian Nuozhao) said, Director Xiao thinks?"

Jesse Duke said.

"What conditions can you Paramount give?"

Xiao Yiran asked.

"All copyrights of the animated version of "The Lion King" belong to us Paramount, and the box office revenue after the movie is released can give you [*]% of Mr. Xiao."

Jesse Duke said solemnly.

"……Gone?"

Xiao Yiran originally wanted to wait for Jesse Duke to talk about the next conditions, but he didn't expect the other party to shut up.

"Yeah, that's our Paramount condition."

Jesse Duke nodded as a matter of course and said the country.

"I'm QNMLGB!"

Xiao Yiran laughed angrily, and a word of national scolding was blurted out directly.

Is Paramount buying the IP of his "Lion King" as cabbage?

"What?"

Jesse Duke obviously didn't understand Xiao Yiran's scolding, and his face was full of question marks.

Chapter 255 It's too ugly to eat

At this moment, Ju Jingyi walked into the reception room, she attached herself to Xiao Yiran's ear and whispered to ask for instructions: "Mr. Xiao, Disney's Mr. Thomas Lukey is here, should he wait outside first, or should I invite him now? Did he come in?"

Xiao Yiran showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Then invite Mr. Thomas Lukey to come in!"

Originally, according to the etiquette, Xiao Yiran should not invite third-party people to come in when he is negotiating business with people from Paramount.

But Paramount's appetite is too big, and the food looks too ugly. It's really disgusting to Xiao Yiran. Xiao Yiran just happened to invite the people from Disney to disgust them.

Ju Jingyi understood, turned around and walked out.

"Who is Thomas Lukey? Mr. Xiao, have you invited anyone else?"

Jesse Duke, who was sitting next to Xiao Yiran, frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Yiran's arrangement.

Before Xiao Yiran could answer, Thomas Lukey and his assistant had already pushed the door and entered the reception room.

"Mr. Xiao, do you have other guests here? If that's the case, then I'll come back later!"
