Chapter 735 Arrival at the Studio
When Bifang received the invitation, he was stunned for a moment at first. Then he realized that more than a year had passed, another Spring Festival had passed, and the age on his panel had become twenty-six.
After more than a year since we acquired the copyright, it is time to produce something.
"I have nothing to do, so I'll go take a look."
Disney originally spent 30 million to acquire the copyright, which included an animated film and three seasons of animated series, as well as a series of peripheral products derived from them. There was no subsequent profit sharing, which was equivalent to a one-time purchase of the copyright.
In terms of Bifang's fame at the time, it had only been live for half a year with four broadcasts, which could only be considered as showing its potential. 30 million Ugly Gold was indeed a huge sum of money, which directly provided the start-up capital for the Wilderness Club.
Otherwise, it is unknown when this project can be launched, or even whether this unknown will exist.
It also indirectly provides Bifang with sufficient wilderness points.
Moreover, even considering that Bifang is at its peak now and has created an entrepreneurial chain, 30 million is not a small amount.
Currently, Bifang often receives invitations to endorse products, and the promised figures are often in the billions, as if it can easily make money just by showing up, but this is different from event changes.
Adapting a real case into a film or TV series is a very delicate matter in itself, and its copyright definition is very vague.
You can say yes, or you can say no.
If you are a little thick-skinned, you can completely ignore the so-called copyright issues, unless it involves peripherals, which may affect the right of portrait, but this is not a big deal in most cases.
Not all movies and animations can make money from peripheral products.
Bifang opened the invitation letter and found that there were three tickets to Burbank, California, which obviously meant that he could bring his friends along.
As for Etienne, the other party must have sent it as well, but I don't know if we'll meet.
If it’s March, the other party should have started school, right?
Bifang is not very clear about the school system in France, but they don’t have the Spring Festival, so theoretically they should be in school.
When Bifang thought about Etienne still having to concentrate on his studies, the corners of his mouth curled up in sadness.
The date on the plane ticket was the day after tomorrow. Bifang put it away and began to prepare himself mentally. He also asked a few of his friends if they were interested.
As for the six big dogs at home, there is no need to worry too much, as there are people taking care of them.
"Beat them when you need to. Don't worry. They have thick skin and tough flesh. They can't be killed, especially the one with shifty eyes." Bifang pointed at Goudan and said to the aunt.
“Ouch!!”
Goudan's anus suddenly tightened and he immediately stood up from the sofa, jumped a few times and let out a howl.
…
Three days later.
"Huh? Just the two of us?"
Yao Jun took off his sunglasses and looked around, and found that there were only himself and Bifang.
Bifang nodded: "Lin Chang said he is not very interested. If there is a sample, you can send it to him to take a look, but there is no need to make a special trip. Not everyone is as ."
Yao Jun looked unhappy: "What do you mean I have free time? I came here for your sake. Otherwise, I would make millions every minute! How could I possibly take a plane to watch a cartoon?"
Bifang curled his lips and did not comment.
Burbank is a residential satellite city and industrial center of Los Angeles. There are no direct flights to the Magic City, so after getting off the plane, they need to drive there. As it was late, the two did not rush to go there, but found a hotel nearby to stay for one night.
Early the next morning, Bifang called and told the other party that he had arrived. At noon, someone knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and glasses, dressed like a standard office worker.
The man with the glasses put down his hand that was knocking on the door, and when he saw Bifang in person, he showed a standard smile: "Hello, Mr. Bifang, I am Bitton Morgan, sent by the company to show you the film production process. Is it convenient for you to leave now?"
Since they had already discussed the matter over the phone, Morgan didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.
Bifang nodded: "Wait for me."
After returning to the bedroom to change clothes, Bifang took Morgan to the next door. After knocking on the door, they soon saw the sleepy Yao Jun. After notifying him, the two sat in the lobby and waited for a quarter of an hour. After a brief chat about the progress of the movie, they saw Yao Jun hurried downstairs.
After everyone arrived, Morgan drove the two to the studio to visit the film production process.
"Shouldn't this kind of work generally be done by women?"
Yao Jun's mumbling made Bifang twitch his lips: "Have you always been so embarrassing?"
Yao Jun was shocked: "How dare you look at me like that?"
"What else?"
Morgan, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Sorry, gentlemen, I can understand Chinese. Or rather, it is precisely because I understand Chinese that the company sent me here. Of course, if you really need me, I can ask the company to send someone else."
This is embarrassing.
Yao Jun lay down on his seat and started pretending to be dead.
There is no need to talk about Bifang's English level. Normal communication is the basic, and he can even express the scientific names of plants in English. His level is extremely high. Yao Jun is not bad either. He studied abroad in college and can also communicate normally. Therefore, after seeing Morgan, he subconsciously did not use Chinese and did not think about this at all.
Fortunately, it was just a minor incident. Morgan knew it was just a joke and didn't take it seriously. After getting off the car, both parties chose to forget about it.
Walt Animation Studios was founded by Walt Disney himself, and is also the most distinctive and oldest department in this entertainment empire. Bifang and Yao Jun climbed up the stairs and could see the live-action film department next to them, and opposite was the ABC department of the United States' three major television networks.
Walt Studio is an independent low-rise building with a square at the entrance and several sculptures. It looks quite fairy-tale-like, making people want to go in and take a look.
Morgan took the two of them for a quick walk in front of the square, then entered the low building and greeted many people.
There are all kinds of picture frames hanging everywhere on the walls, with rich colors, which is very different from ordinary office buildings.
Just as Morgan was about to take the two to the film production site, Bifang actually saw an acquaintance there.
"Long time no see, Mr. Bifang. I wonder if you still remember me." Brand Pariston gave Bifang a hug.
"Of course I remember, Mr. Brand."
Bifang smiled and said that with his memory, he would never forget the other person as long as they chatted for a few sentences.
Brandon Pariston was the one who came to negotiate the copyright fees. It was really him who felt very emotional when he saw him now.
