Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 512: No Compromise
The two of them talked on the phone for quite a while this time. Donna called mainly to congratulate him, and asked about Oscar as a by-product.

People like them don't have much desire or honor for such awards. What they want is money. Money is the most important and real thing. Everything else is false.

"I need your help with something." Fang Hong said.

"What help do you need?" Donna asked.

"We have a company here called Bona, which is listed in your country, the United States. I want to acquire this company, but part of its shares are in the hands of 20th Century Fox and some institutions. I hope you can mediate and let them sell the shares to me." Fang Hong said.

It is easy to buy scattered shares at a premium, but it is difficult to buy shares held by institutions and companies. Whether to sell or not depends on their mood, not on how much you offer.

Of course Fang Hong didn't want to pay a sky-high price for the acquisition, as his money didn't come from the wind.

"No problem, no problem. Just wait for my news." Donna agreed immediately.

The company behind Universal is Comcast. As for how powerful this company is, you only need to know that it is a giant in the global media and even above News Corporation.

News Corporation is the company of Murdoch, Wendi Deng’s ex-husband.

So this is a small matter for them. Although they are competitors with 20th Century Fox, they are also partners.

The bosses usually drink tea, do business, and play with women together. They are all very familiar with each other, so it's just a matter of giving face to each other.

In their eyes, Bona is just an insignificant little thing, not worth mentioning.

There was nothing else to do. Fang Hong asked her to do that just as a side matter.

But this matter will take some time. It is not something that can be done right away. It requires communication. As for whether mediation can be successful, it depends on the ability of Universal and Donna.

As the movie "Big Hero 6" became a hit, the licensed peripheral toys, figures, models, cotton dolls, and children's park tickets were also sold out around the world.

In particular, Yutu Company earned over 1.2 million US dollars from the licensing of the image of "Dabai", and over 2.2 million US dollars from other images. This is the licensing fee for buying out the license for one year!

Yutu does not have the ability to operate any peripheral derivative products, and does not have the channels and strength, so it is all handed over to Universal Agency for operation.

Yutu only plays the role of a producer.

On overseas shelves, the peripherals of Big Hero 300 are not cheap. For example, the Big Hero Combat Suit is priced at yuan per set.
The "travel set" costs 100 yuan, and also includes peripheral products such as storage bags and "Dabai" hats.

The price of a "Dabai" plush doll is 50 yuan!
A store can sell more than 2000 "Dabai" toys like this in a day.

A thousand stores can sell 1 million in a day! That’s 30 billion in a month. How many stores are there in the world? Countless!
And this is just the sales and price of one kind of toys. If you add the others, it can be said to be horrifying.

Although the accounts cannot be calculated in this way, it is enough to prove how profitable those Hollywood companies that operate peripheral products are, how profitable Universal is, and how awesome Disney is.

They don't produce toys, but are just a copyright licensor, licensing to toy manufacturers around the world, making money without doing anything.

It is not easy to make money from cultural products in China, but it is very easy to make money overseas.

Don't be dissatisfied. They have the ability and strength to monitor the world. If the copyright collapses, the entire European and American cultural system will collapse, so Yutu will also benefit.

Of course there is piracy, and it is rampant, but this does not affect their ability to make money.

Anyway, there is always money to be made from this thing, as long as the copyright is in Yutu's hands.

This is why Hollywood companies all make animated films, especially Disney, which got its start with animation.

Since "Big Hero 6" is under the Jade Rabbit brand, many domestic companies, including the ones above, have seen the performance of this animated film.

CCTV also reported on the global success of this animated film, with the news channel reporting:

"Big Hero 6, produced by the local Yutu enterprise, has caused a wave of movie-watching craze around the world. A character in the film, Baymax, who was described by the audience as silly and cute, has also become popular around the world for a while, and the surrounding products are said to have been sold out."

Not only CCTV, but also major mainstream media and official media have reported this good news.

"Big Hero 6: An Eastern film dressed in Hollywood garb, breaking box office records around the world."

"A super cute, healing hero movie, Big Hero 3, grossed over $ million worldwide."

“The underlying oriental culture in Big Hero 6 is a global animated film suitable for all ages!”

"Yutu has made outstanding contributions to promoting the export of culture and excellent film, television and animation films."

"."

The news was full of pride and jubilation.

As of now, "Big Hero 4.16" has earned 29 million yuan in box office worldwide, equivalent to 30 billion RMB, and it is just a little short of breaking billion!
With such good results and such strong box office performance, it is impossible not to report it domestically.

This is export, which is a tangible way to earn foreign exchange.

In other words, Yutu has not only completed cultural output, but also completed export share. Next year, the domestic cultural product export index is expected to explode.

Just this one movie can double the country's annual film and television export share. It's so exaggerated.

The country’s current film export share is just over 28 billion, but now the box office of “Big Hero ” overseas has reached billion.

Jade Rabbit, an animated film, is equivalent to the efforts of an entire country!

The Film Bureau will have something to brag about next year. Zhang Hongsen didn't expect the principal to be so powerful. It's right to protect this guy.

In that matter, he was originally on the principal's side, because the principal was really doing real work and was not playing tricks.

While "Big Hero 6" became a huge hit, negative news about Yan Zi continued to exist. Suddenly, a piece of news shocked the entire industry.

The bailiffs in a certain place wanted to arrest Fang Hong for trial, and the reasons they gave were very sufficient, including defaming others' reputation, spreading rumors, and other charges.

The bailiffs are already on their way to the capital.

This surprised people in the industry and they all discussed what was going on.

"It seems Yan Zi was not joking with the principal."

"Is that so?"

The struggle between the big guys is really hard to describe, and we can only gossip about it.

Liu Tianxian was so frightened and nervous that she pushed Fang Hong and said, "Hurry up and go to Hong Kong." "Why should I go to Hong Kong? What law have I broken?" Fang Hong refused.

"Please don't be so stubborn. Go to Hong Kong and hide there first. Come back after this is over." Liu Tianxian said anxiously.

"I'm not stubborn. I didn't do anything. I just followed the formal procedures to file a lawsuit. The other party can sue me for defamation and rumor-mongering, and I can also defend myself. I believe in justice, and I believe that our country is a society ruled by law." Fang Hong was very righteous.

He cannot leave. If he leaves, it would be like running away, a blasphemy against the rule of law, and a lack of trust in the country.

"Don't be so childish, okay? Think about me and your mother." Liu Tianxian yelled.

"If I leave, it would mean I am not thinking about you, I am not brave enough to face it, and I am not like a man." Fang Hong was determined not to leave.

"you!"

Liu Tianxian pointed at him, really angry. She sat down and turned her head away, not looking at him or paying any attention to him.

"Okay, don't be angry. You have to believe in me, have confidence in me, and also believe in the country." Fang Hong sat behind her and supported her shoulders.

"It's not that I don't trust anyone, I'm just afraid that something might happen to you." Liu Tianxian said with worry.

"It's okay, I will get through it. As long as I get through it, I will be victorious, and they can't do anything to me." Fang Hong said affirmatively.

Just as the two were talking, Fang Hong's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Liu Xiaoli calling.

"Hello, Mom." Fang Hong said.

Liu Tianxian also knew who it was and watched him make the call.

"You should hide quickly!" Liu Xiaoli's tone revealed concern.

"No need, mom. I can face it." Fang Hong said.

"Oh, you're the only man in this family. What should we do if something happens to you?" Liu Xiaoli was worried.

"It's okay, Mom. I'll be fine. If I leave, it will prove that something is wrong with me. If I don't leave, then I can have a clear conscience." Fang Hong said.

"That's the truth, but..."

Liu Xiaoli said she couldn't go and was very worried.

We were just starting to have good days when something like this happened. How can we seek justice?

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine." Fang Hong comforted.

"I hope so!" Liu Xiaoli sighed.

Fang Hong also spoke some comforting words to reassure her. As for Xu Liyun, she didn't know about this and no one had told her.

It would only add to my worries and troubles. Let's wait and see how the situation develops.

After Fang Hong and Liu Xiaoli finished their phone call, Chang'e Technology's leaders Zhang Yiming, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Lidong also called to express their condolences.

Liu Tianxian didn't say anything. She just saw that he was still on the phone, with an unhappy look on his face, and he was sulking. She asked this man to leave but he just refused to leave.

What justice, what victory? These are not as important as your own safety.

"Don't worry, just develop step by step. On the road to rise, everyone will go through some ups and downs." Fang Hong came up with another set of words.

This is to give confidence to the subordinates and give them the belief that the principal can take on everything.

After hearing this, the leaders of Chang'e Technology felt that the principal was really too calm and fearless, and was not panicking even at this time.

If it were them, they would have panicked and run away!

Who knows what will happen if you are arrested? It is all unknown, and we don’t know what crime you will be charged with.

All I can say is that the principal is a person who can do big things and take on responsibilities.

After Fang Hong finished his phone call with the Chang'e Technology leadership, he saw Yutu leaders including Chen Zhixi, Meng Jun, Yao Qi, and Shi Zhimao walk in.

Seeing that the young couple had serious expressions on their faces, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I didn't expect things to develop to this point, and the other party really used tricks. Of course, some people have already thought of it, but they are still grateful.

"Principal, we should use public opinion to make this matter a bigger issue." Chen Zhixi suggested.

Now the outside world doesn’t know about it, only some people in the industry know the situation. If it gets out of hand and let the outside world know about it, it will undoubtedly put pressure on the higher-ups.

"No need. We've done enough. The higher-ups will have their own considerations." What Fang Hong didn't say was that Director Zhang had already called him a few days ago.

So the above must be known, and there is no need to waste time.

This made the atmosphere on the scene very silent and heavy. If the principal encountered a crisis, it would be a big blow to Yutu.

The reason why Yutu has been able to rise so quickly and develop so steadily to become a giant in today’s film and television industry is all due to the principal’s long-term vision.

There is also the spirit of perseverance and uncompromising.

This spirit is infused into Yutu's bones. Other entertainment companies have been conquered by capital one after another, but Yutu has always been independent and unshakable.

Some say compromise, some say cooperation?
Cooperating with capital means being obedient and following their ideas.

They want to teach you how to make movies using traffic and big data. Will you obey?
If you don't obey, we will use capital to swallow you up and you can get out.

Everyone knows that Ali has the strongest desire for control.

Look at the subsequent film market and see how disappointed and disheartened the audiences were. That is the result of “traffic is king”.

They only serve to attract traffic and don’t care what the audience likes to watch. The audience has completely lost confidence in the movie.

If Fang Hong were to live again and become corrupt as they are, then all his efforts over the years would be in vain.
