The reason why Zhang Qiurui chose Disney as his partner is not only because Disney is financially strong and can afford the price, but also because of two other major reasons.

First, Disney is famous for producing cartoons, and most of the directors signed by it come from cartoon production backgrounds.

It also has extensive brand influence and fan base around the world.

As a giant in the world's entertainment industry, Disney not only has many classic animated characters and stories, such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, The Lion King, etc., these characters and stories transcend age groups and are deeply loved by audiences around the world.

Second, if Disney wants to break through the traditional animation field and expand into more diversified content creation and market, it needs talented, potential and famous directors to open up the market for them. Obviously, Zhang Qiurui meets Disney's choice.

Miller's identity is not simple either. He is Disney's son-in-law. In a few years, he will take over the entire Disney and become the president of Disney.

"Twenty million US dollars, this is my highest sincerity." Miller said, holding up two fingers.

"That's the price. Shall we sign the contract now?" When Zhang Qiurui heard Miller's offer, her eyes lit up and she immediately agreed.

Originally, the price she had in mind was 17 million US dollars, but she didn't expect Miller to directly offer 20 million US dollars, which exceeded her expectations.

"There's no rush to sign the contract! Director Zhang, are you interested in signing with us Disney, or cooperating with us Disney?" Miller knew that Zhang Qiurui's value was far more than the few internationally award-winning works she had shot. What he valued was her talent and her growing popularity in the international film scene.

Zhang Qiurui was slightly stunned by Miller's sudden invitation, but then a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

She wanted to establish connections with the Big Six Hollywood studios so that she could have more resources and opportunities when she came to Hollywood to develop her career.

Among the Big Six, Disney's power and influence in Hollywood is undoubtedly the highest.

She originally wanted to deal with Disney more often, make friends with Disney, and then slowly look for opportunities for cooperation.

I didn't expect that Miller was so discerning and took a fancy to me.

"I don't know how the contract is signed? And how will the cooperation be carried out?" Zhang Qiurui suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"If you sign a contract with Disney, you can only film the scripts provided by Disney, or you can only film the scripts you wrote after Disney's approval.

Of course, as a contracted director of Disney, you will enjoy the company's full range of packaging and promotion, including global publicity resources.

Signing a contract with the director not only means receiving a salary for directing the film and a certain investment share, but also a certain share of the box office revenue.

As for the collaboration, both parties will invest in and co-produce the film. Director Zhang, we will not interfere with any of your filming decisions, and Disney will own the editing rights." Miller explained the specifics of the contract and collaboration in detail.

"If we work together, I have only one requirement, the editing rights must be in my hands." Zhang Qiurui knows that the Big Six Hollywood studios have always been strict in controlling their works, especially in post-production editing, and they will not give in easily.

Zhang Qiurui currently cannot break through this line of defense because she has not yet proven her worth or her box office appeal.

Miller's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He obviously did not expect Zhang Qiurui to ask for the editing rights.

“It seems that we are still not destined to work together.

Zhang, no director in Hollywood has the right to edit, whether you go to other Hollywood film companies.

Zhang, if you think clearly, the door to Disney will open for you. " Miller saw Zhang Qiurui's firm attitude and shook his head with some regret.

Yenching, Zhu Xinzhuang teaching office.

"I didn't expect that she would win the Palme d'Or and produce a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor. She is also the first director in Asian history to win the Palme d'Or.

I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. Do we really have to listen to the higher-ups and summon her back to China to film a movie?" Situ Zhaodun was holding a newspaper. On the front page of the newspaper were photos and reports of Yanjing reporters interviewing Zhang Qiurui in Cannes.

The news that Zhang Qiurui won the Palme d'Or in Cannes gradually spread in the country, causing an uproar.

Hong Kong is also a part of China, but the film shot by Zhang Qiurui won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. It was entered and won in the name of Hong Kong, not in the name of China. So the leaders above felt that it was a bit lacking and wanted to invite Zhang Qiurui back to China to shoot movies, win awards, and win glory for the country.

Situ Zhaodun put down the newspaper and frowned.

He also watched the movie "Love" filmed by Zhang Qiurui in Hong Kong. If this movie was filmed in China, the script would definitely not pass the review and would have to be cut.

However, the soul of a script is often contained in those delicate and true emotional descriptions. Once it is excessively cut, it may lose its original charm and depth. He is afraid that it will affect Zhang Qiurui's creation.

By then, due to various reasons, Zhang Qiurui's creations will not have the same inspiration as before. At that time, it will not only be a personal loss for Zhang Qiurui, but also a loss for Yenching Academy and even the entire Chinese-language film industry.

Situ Zhaodun is well aware of this. He is worried that if Zhang Qiurui is forcibly recalled and asked to adjust her work according to domestic censorship standards, will this talented director still be able to maintain her unique creative passion and artistic pursuit?
