Chapter 283: Marvel's Trip
Coupled with the Iron Man copyright bought from the new line, Tianqi Pictures now has the film and television rights of two Marvel superheroes.
Moreover, the two superheroes, Iron Man and Black Widow, are also the core heroes of the first phase of the Marvel Universe!
Chen Hao was happy and set his sights on Lionsgate again, because it still has the copyrights of Team America, Black Panther, Deadpool, Ant-Man, etc., and more importantly, Lionsgate doesn't know their value!
Now Chen Hao feels that he should find a way to get the copyrights of these Marvel superheroes from Lionsgate!
It can be seen from later generations that Lionsgate did not bring these Marvel superheroes to the big screen.
It should be because only "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are box office hits at the box office, and most of the other superhero movies hit the street or performed mediocre!
In addition, the investment in superhero movies is generally A-grade big productions, which is too risky for Lionsgate, which started with B-grade films!
Since the copyrights of these Marvel superheroes are a bit chicken for Lionsgate, it is better to hand them over to Chen Hao's Measuring Ruler Pictures!
"Is there a way to buy all the superhero rights in Lionsgate's hands?" Chen Hao asked.
"It's not impossible to buy it, but it is estimated that Lionsgate will sit on the ground and start the price. Smart said.
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, "Then is there any good way to get the copyright of these superheroes?"
"The best way is to exchange interests! You can cooperate with them with high-quality projects, and the condition is that the superhero copyright. Smart said.
The only high-quality projects that Tianji Pictures can count as "Chainsaw" series and "Hurricane Rescue" series should be counted, and maybe Chen Hao's new film can also be counted.
"Okay, you can follow up on this matter!" Chen Hao said.
Smart nodded when he heard this, although he was a little puzzled that his boss was so keen on Marvel superheroes, but at least he was quite sensible, so he didn't say much, so as not to cause conflicts!
"And what about the Marvel collaboration?" Smart asked.
"What did Marvel say?" Chen Hao said curiously when he heard this.
"The copyright still belongs to Marvel, and we can film and television any superhero that Marvel has now, but all the proceeds will score 20% of them!" Smart replied.
Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, this is not a penny, and then he relied on the copyright to buy shares, and in the end, no matter whether the movie makes money or loses money, Marvel at least has no loss, if it is more, it is a big profit, it is really a business without capital!
It seems that it is indeed a loss, after all, all the risks have been transferred to Measuring Sky Ruler Pictures, and Marvel is firmly sitting on Diaoyutai, but who would have thought that Chen Hao would be a bug!
Chen Hao now thinks that this is an opportunity, Marvel should not have a plan to create a superhero movie universe now, and he can now package these superheroes from Marvel for free.
"Then you can make an appointment with Marvel for me, and I'll talk to them personally. Chen Hao said.
Smart glanced at Chen Hao, then nodded.
"When are 'Suspect Zero' and 'Outdoor Barbecue' going to start?" Chen Hao asked.
"I'm going to start "Suspect Zero" first, and then I'm going to start filming "Outdoor Barbecue". Smart said, ""Suspect Zero" is in the middle of the year, and "Outdoor Barbecue" will be released at the end of the year!"
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, "No problem, then do it!"
Smart smiled when he heard this, at least this young boss was still very supportive of his plan, and more importantly, he was willing to pay!
Subsequently, Chen Hao carefully looked at the summary documents in his hand, and the company had some new people, many of whom were from Smart's original company, which was also noted by Smart and did not hide it.
In addition to "Saw 3" and "Suspect Zero", the company's recent focus is also trying to actively develop the distribution business.
According to the data given by Smart, he should be able to contact up to 800 theaters to release movies now, but the release time and theater size, location, etc., are not very good!
Chen Hao nodded when he saw it, naturally it can't be compared with the Hollywood giants, but Tiantian Ruler Pictures has only been established for less than 2 years, and Smart has just joined the company, which is good!
In the evening, Chen Hao returned to his luxury villa in Beverly Hills for one night, and went to Marvel Studios the next day.
After coming to Marvel, the first thing Chen Hao saw was the familiar Marvel logo, which he had not seen for a long time!
"Director Chen, hello, I'm Kevin Feige!"
Chen Hao immediately looked over when he heard this, this is the future president of Marvel Studios, but the current Kevin Feige should not have become a Marvel executive.
"Hello!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
"I heard that Director Chen likes Marvel superheroes very much?" asked Kevin Feige.
"Yes!" Chen Hao said succinctly.
Because Chen Hao knows that Kevin Feige is very familiar with the background setting and universe structure of Marvel Comics, and has served as the producer of almost all Marvel superhero movies.
If Chen Hao said too much, he would definitely be exposed, it would be too embarrassing!
"I don't know, which of Marvel's superheroes does Director Chen like the most?" Kevin Feige curious.
"Iron Man!" Chen Hao said, "I made an appointment with your president!"
"I'm sorry, I'll take you to him. Kevin Feige said, "However, Iron Man's popularity is not very high, but he is very similar to Director Chen, talented and rich!"
"But I'm not a prodigal son!" Chen Hao laughed.
"Haha, that's right!" Kevin Feige nodded, "Alright, you sit down first, wait a minute, I'll go and let you know now." ”
Chen Hao sat down when he heard this, and began to look around, there were many superheroes on the wall, and many of them didn't know Chen Hao yet!
"Hello Mr. Chen!"
"Hello, Donald!" Chen Hao smiled.
Donald is the current president of Marvel!
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Donald smiled and asked, "I wonder how Mr. Chen thinks about our proposal?"
"I'm very interested in working with Marvel!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
Donald smiled instantly when he heard this, although Marvel is now more stable after being acquired, there is still no good way out.
Marvel has so many superheroes, but almost zero experience in film production and distribution, and at the same time, it doesn't have so much money to shoot superhero blockbusters, so it has been so empty.
Now that someone wants to cooperate with Marvel in film and television superheroes, at least Marvel can charge a copyright fee again!
"That's great! I wonder which superhero Mr. Chen has a crush on?" Donald asked with a smile.
"I may have a lot of superheroes!" Chen Hao smiled when he heard this.
Donald's eyes lit up when he heard this, how good, I'm not afraid of you, the more Marvel earns!
"I don't know, which superheroes does Director Chen have a crush on?" Donald asked.
"All!" Chen Hao said lightly.
