Chapter 22 Movie Release

After the problem between James and Charlize was resolved, Zhuke and Victor began to discuss matters about "Aerial Baby".

"Boss, the person who contacted me is Smith, the Minister of Content Department of the BBC Broadcasting Corporation of Britain. And their attitude is very clear, and we are asking us to arrive in London as soon as possible to discuss copyright development with them."

In fact, Victor's mind is full of doubts now.

My own boss is so awesome!

Wald Pictures' first film, "Run Lola", has not been released yet, but it is actually related to a behemoth like the BBC, which is incredible.

"Wait a minute, don't be excited. You said just now, are they more anxious?" Zhuke suddenly interrupted.

"Well......"

Victor was stunned and said, "Yes, although Smith's tone was very calm, as the BBC's content department, he was able to call him in person, which was very evident. And..."

Suddenly, the god Victor became mysterious.

"And what? Tell me quickly, don't keep me in the way." Zhu Ke cursed with a smile.

"Boss, that's it. I have a good friend who works for BBC Broadcasting Corporation and is responsible for the maintenance of information equipment. After hanging up the British phone, I asked him indirectly. He happened to know something, and he told me that the BBC is collaborating with the European rag doll production company to produce a preschool education drama. Coincidentally, its content is surprisingly similar to the copyright of "Aerial Baby", which we have registered around the world, and the title of the drama is also tentatively set to be "Aerial Baby".

This incident has to be said to be a coincidence.

Well, this is for Victor.

For Zhuke, some of the things in his heart are definitely not coincidences, but gladness!

Why?

Because the series "Aerial Baby" was completed in the original time and space by the rag doll production company and the BBC broadcaster.

"Damn it! Fortunately, I registered the global copyright first, otherwise this gold mine would be gone. And I guess the people from the BBC Broadcasting Company and the Ragdoll Company at this moment must be confused." Zhuke thought thief.

The same is true.

In fact, the ragdoll company and the BBC broadcaster have completed one-fifth of the content of "Aerial Baby" and are planning to determine the playback date and copyright registration. However, when they submitted the application materials to the copyright office, they were told that they could not pass. Someone had already registered similar copyrights more than 40 days ago.

They are confused!

BBC: "......"

Ragdoll: "......"

Facing Zhuke's shamelessness, oh no, it is Zhuke's copyright. The two companies can only contact Zhuke with gritted teeth. After all, they have invested a lot of pounds in the "Aerial Baby" project, and they are extremely optimistic about this project. It is obviously impossible to let them give up now.

"Victor, arrange for people immediately, contact them first, and explore their bottom line. After a while, I will go to London with you in person." Zucker ordered.

"Okay, boss." Victor arranged someone immediately.

Faced with the fat meat delivered to the door, Zhu Ke must have a slaughter.

Well, it is a very shameless act to say that Zhu Kewu has robbed other people's achievements and has to charge high copyright taxes.

That's right, you're right.

Zhuke never thought he was a good person, and no one was punished for himself. Moreover, Zhuke did not regard it as a shame for the act of robbing the copyright of the British, but instead felt that it was supreme glory. Mom and Dad, I have brought glory to the country!

The matter of "Aerial Baby" has come to an end, but the release of "Rola Run" has encountered problems.

"Victor, are you saying that "Run Lola" which was originally scheduled to be released on April 12 has been troubled by theaters, and it is MGM that has exerted influence on major theaters?"

Zhuke couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, boss. At the beginning of the period, through Wald Pictures and some of my previous relationships, I had initially agreed to 315 screens on the premiere day, and the subsequent adjustments will be made depending on the box office results. But today, I received a call that many of their cinemas closed my screen, and now there are only 120 screens left, and it is estimated that it will be reduced further."

When talking about this, Victor was really angry.

So annoying!

Don't keep your word!

As the CEO of Wald Pictures, I operated the first theater film released by the company. I wanted to show my abilities in front of my boss, but who knew that something happened? Are you angry? If it weren't for one of the theater managers with good relationships, he revealed that it was MGM's existence, Victor wouldn't know what was going on.

Damn MGM!

Dongdongdongdongdong~~!

Upon hearing this, Zhuke suppressed his anger, tapped his fingers repeatedly on the desk, and pondered: "Victor, try to contact the theaters again to see if there can be more screens. I will call John Lasseter to see if he can help."

"Okay, boss."

He did it as soon as he said that, Victor immediately got up and left, intending to go to the theater to communicate in person.

Zhuke also contacted Lasseter as soon as possible.

Although John Lasseter is also a newcomer to Hollywood, he is the leader of Pixar's Five Tigers, and he is also the director of the film "Toy Story" which won the box office championship in 1995. His face in theaters is much more useful than Wald Pictures.

.........

"Zuke, you said MGM was messing around"

"I need my help?"

"Help, I will definitely help."

"My dear friend, don't worry, your business is mine, I'll help you find a way."

Sure enough, he was still loyal. After receiving Zhuke's call for help, John Lassett agreed to help immediately, without any refusal or perfunctory words.

The reason why he helped was because Zhu Ke deliberately attracted him on weekdays and the two got along well;

Secondly, during the Pixar listing of shares, Zhucli urged him to purchase the full shares, which greatly increased his wealth.

......

Not long after, Old Billy, who was far away in Utah, also received a call from Zucker.

His name is Billy Jald, and he is the owner of a movie-related chain store in Utah. Although his chain store is not the largest in Utah, and it is not even ranked in the top five, with only 9 stores, he has been operating in Utah for decades and is familiar with the heads of major theaters. He can be said to be a veteran.

In terms of "Toy Story", Zhu Ke and others were well-off, and they also communicated several times later and had some friendship.

"Zuke, you're looking for the right person when it comes to making trouble with MGM."

"It's right that you don't know, and I won't tell you, but it's enough for you to understand. I have a grudge against MGM, and they have cheated me!"

"Don't worry, I, Old Billy, dare not say anything else, but I can still help in Utah."

A day later.

Through Victor's efforts and the help of Lassett and Billy Old, "Running" finally added some screens.

355 yuan.

That's right, it's 40 yuan more than the originally planned 315 screens. Of course, the movie's premiere is not all over North America, but only in places like California and Utah.

Moreover, the premiere of "Rola Run" has been changed from the planned April 12 to April 5.
Chapter completed!
