Jia Yapeng swears to God that he was not tempted by Tsuburaya Company in the first place, because Jia Yapeng always believed that Ultraman Tiga was filmed in 2000, and it was only 1992, so it was too early to take action.

Until Jia Yapeng met Natsume Haruko and heard her say that the senior management of Tsuburaya Company collectively went to the ** Shrine to pay homage and pray that this time the financing work with Dentsu Group would go smoothly.

At this time, Jia Yapeng learned that Tsuburaya Company had already started to raise funds from Dentsu Group of Japan.

How could this be possible? How could Ultraman Tiga not have a hand in it? This is a big money tree... Oh, no, it is my most perfect childhood memory!!

I definitely have to get involved, otherwise when Tsuburaya Company finishes filming Ultraman Tiga and gets rich again, how can I acquire Tsuburaya Company and the copyright of Ultraman below it?

So Jia Yapeng immediately went to inquire about the situation of Yuangu Company, and then found that he seemed to have enough time.

Tsuburaya Company may not be a name you have heard much about, but its signature IP, the Ultraman series of tokusatsu TV series, is known to everyone in China.

The founder of Tsuburaya Company is Eiji Tsuburaya, the Amnesty director of the first Godzilla movie. Later, Eiji Tsuburaya became completely obsessed with Amnesty and monster movies and filmed Ultra Q, the first Ultra movie.

TV series.

Later, Eiji Tsuburaya created Ultraman, the superman who protects the earth, and the Ultraman series was born, which has been accompanying children all over the world for more than fifty years. Until now, Ultraman is still active in

Inside the TV.

Since the 1970s, Tsuburaya Company has produced "Ultra Q", "Ultraman", "Ultraman Seven", "The Return of Ultraman (Ultraman Jack)", "Ultraman Ace", "Ultraman Tai"

"Ultraman Leo", "Ultraman Leo" and "Ultraman Eddie", these are the main Ultraman TV series.

These Ultraman films are also called Ultraman Showa because they were filmed during the Showa period of Fuso.

However, after the filming of Ultraman Eddie, Tsuburaya Company's financial situation fell into a huge dilemma. From 1980 to 1996, although Tsuburaya Company was still filming some small-scale TV series, it could no longer

There has never been a reboot of a large-scale Ultraman TV series. It was not until 1996, when Ultraman Tiga came out and brought in the Three Great Heroes of Heisei, that Ultraman once again became popular around the world.

As far as Jia Yapeng is concerned, his childhood memory is actually from the Showa series of Ultraman, because the first time Ultraman Tiga was publicly broadcast on China Television was already in 2004.

At that time, Jia Yapeng was already 14 years old, and he was already obsessed with more interesting things, such as Warcraft and Red Alert. He was no longer so enthusiastic about Ultraman.

But Ultraman Tiga is the most perfect childhood memory for many born in 1995.

In fact, Jia Yapeng later looked at all the Ultraman series from an adult perspective. From a purely artistic point of view, Ultraman Leo and Ultraman Nexus may be the most profound, but when taking into account both art and

In terms of business, Ultraman Tiga is undoubtedly the most successful Ultraman.

Therefore, Ultraman Tiga has long been regarded as his own by our Mr. Jia. He has tried every possible means to get Ultraman Tiga into his hands. If nothing else, he will just sell toys in the future.

I'm afraid it is a huge source of wealth no less than a four-wheel drive vehicle.

But if you want to buy Ultraman Tiga, you might as well buy the entire Tsuburaya Company.

After producing Ultraman Eddie, Tsuburaya's financial situation became worse and worse. In the end, it sold 40% of its shares to the Japanese Dentsu Group in exchange for an investment of 1 billion yen, and filmed Tiga

Ultraman, and then earned nearly 10 billion yen in various incomes in one fell swoop, becoming completely rich.

So after Jia Yapeng heard about the financing with Dentsu Group, he immediately asked the Ito family to conduct relevant investigations, and then learned that Fuso Dentsu Group was indeed interested in restarting the Ultraman series, so he was ready to invest in Tsuburaya Group.

It is said that the two parties have almost reached an agreement at this time, and Fuso Dentsu Group is preparing to buy 40% of Tsuburaya Group's shares for 1 billion yen.

In fact, the agreement of intent between the two parties has been signed, and they are waiting to be officially signed and sealed in two days, and the share transfer and investment and financing cooperation will be carried out, and then it will be finalized.

"Damn, time is so short!" Jia Yapeng touched his head with a headache. Even the intention agreement had been signed. It seemed that he came a little too late. When 40% of Tsuburaya's shares were sold to Dentsu Group

If you buy it, it will be very difficult for you to completely control the entire Tsuburaya Company.

After all, Dentsu Group is really not short of money.

"The key lies in Yuangu Gao, President of Yuangu Group!" Jia Yapeng touched his nose, and then remembered some rumors about this president that were circulated in later generations.

Tsuburaya Takao is the second son of Tsuburaya Eiji and the third president of Tsuburaya Company. But compared with his father and eldest brother, Tsuburaya Takauna is really terrible.

The Ultraman series declined in his hands. From 1980 to 1995, a full 15 years, Tsuburaya Gao never did anything serious, nor did he lead the company out of trouble. The only thing he did was

Various for sale.

The Ultraman series has always had a very serious copyright dispute, because Tsuburaya Gao once sold all the overseas copyrights of the Ultraman series to a Thai company, and this transaction only cost 120,000 US dollars.

The reason why it was sold so cheaply is said to be because Tsuburaya Gao lived a very luxurious life and borrowed a large sum of U.S. dollars from the Thai boss Simbot. In order to cover up the loan, he used 120,000 U.S. dollars to sell Ultraman

All overseas rights were sold.

Later, the two companies had endless disputes surrounding this overseas copyright.

On the one hand, Tsuburaya Company stated that they recognized the overseas copyright, and then said that the contract signed at that time was for 20 years, and after 20 years, the copyright would be returned to Tsuburaya Company.

However, the Thai side insisted that Tsuburaya Company sold overseas copyrights for an indefinite period without any time limit. Then the Thai company relied on this contract and began to authorize a country's film and television group to film Ultraman, such as the later China Steel

Ultraman Flying Dragon and so on are licensed by this company.

Later, the two sides fought numerous lawsuits. At first, the Thai side had the upper hand, and everyone including the Fuso Court ruled in favor of the company.

But it was later appealed to the U.S. court. In the end, the U.S. ruled that the contract had been altered and the original 20-year period was changed to an unlimited period. Therefore, the contract had expired and the overseas copyrights were returned to Tsuburaya Company.

All in all, in terms of copyright, this is a huge pit, and Tsuburaya Gao is a super prodigal, and he is also a guy who wants nothing for money.

It is said that after Tsuburaya Gao received the 1 billion yen financing, the first thing he did was not to immediately start filming Ultraman Tiga, but to use the money to pay off his gambling debts, and then

He bought a few more luxury cars, hung out in nightclubs, and embezzled the funds under various pretexts, causing Dentsu Group to scold him.

Later, Gao Tsuburaya died suddenly in 1995 because he was too ruthless. The company fell into the hands of his son, Kazuo Tsuburaya, and it was only then that Ultraman Tiga was finally produced and turned around.

However, the internal fighting within the Tsuburaya family became too fierce and the company's funds were squandered. In the end, the majestic Tsuburaya Group collapsed and fell completely into the hands of the Dentsu Group.
Chapter completed!
