Chapter 284: The Avengers

"What?" Donald thought he had misheard!

Chen Hao coughed and said, "Just kidding!"

Donald smiled strangely when he heard this, just because you are a newly established Measuring Ruler Pictures, you want all the superheroes of Marvel?

You must know that there are more than 8,000 superheroes in Marvel, and even if a superhero movie is considered a B-level production, then all superhero cinematization is an astronomical amount!

Even the richest company in the world would not dare to boast of this Haikou, let alone an independent film company that has been established for less than two years!

Chen Hao also knows that it is impossible, but the future Marvel superheroes are too profitable, and he can't help the greed in his heart!

With the current strength of Tianqi Pictures, it would be good to win a few superhero movie copyrights at most, otherwise Marvel would not be at ease.

"I want the rights to Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, and if the cooperation goes well, I hope to get more superhero rights in the future. Chen Hao said.

Donald heard this, "Thor's copyright is no longer in Marvel!"

"Where is that?" Chen Hao said curiously.

"The rights to Thor are in the hands of Sony and Sony Columbia!" Donald said.

Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, this is different from the information he knows!

"However, we have the rights to Team America that we just recovered, I wonder if you are interested?" Donald asked.

"Team America?" Chen Hao was stunned again when he heard this, "Isn't it in the hands of Lionsgate?"

"Yes, we just took it back. Donald said, "Interested?"

"Of course!" Chen Hao nodded, "However, as for revenue sharing, I can only give Marvel 5%!"

"That's not good, it's too little!" Donald shook his head resolutely when he heard this, "at least 20%!"

"That's a lot higher than Spider-Man and X-Men, where we take all the risks, and Marvel just waits for the benefits, up to 6%!" Chen Hao said.

"If it's 6 percent, then the film copyright can only be five years!" Donald laughs.

Marvel regrets it now, because the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series exploded at the box office and earned hundreds of millions, but Marvel can only get a few million, and I feel that I have suffered a big loss.

Therefore, it is natural to increase the requirements in terms of profit and dividend ratio.

Chen Hao is secretly in the dark for 5 years, which is too short, and he can't play the Avengers and every superhero's single-film series in 5 years!

Time is not allowed, and funds are not allowed!

"The minimum age is 15 years, and we have the right of first refusal!" Chen said.

This right of first refusal is not simple, after the failure of Lee Press's "Hulk" this year, Universal did not produce a sequel within 2 years, so the copyright returned to Marvel.

But at that time, there was a right of first refusal on the terms, and in the end, Universal used this right and bought the Hulk again, resulting in Marvel being unable to make a Hulk monolithic series at all!

In the end, Chen Hao and Donald had a verbal argument, you went back and forth, and finally reached an agreement.

The film and television adaptations of Team America, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy were sold exclusively to Measuring Pictures for $3 million for 15 years.

After 15 years, Measuring Pictures has the right of first refusal, while Marvel can receive 10% of all proceeds from these 5 superheroes and teams.

"Director Chen, happy cooperation!" Donald laughed.

got $3 million, sold 5 more superheroes, and raised the profit share ratio a lot, Donald felt that he had taken a big advantage.

Chen Hao was naturally happy in his heart, but he only smiled lightly on his face, "Happy cooperation!"

Obviously, both felt like they had earned it!

After Chen Hao came out of Donald's office, he met Kevin Feige again.

"Director Chen, looking at the happiness on your face, you should have got what you wanted. Kevin Feige laughed.

"Yes, I finally got the superhero I wanted!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

Kevin Feige frowned slightly, "Director Chen came today to buy the copyright of Marvel superheroes?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Chen Hao said with a glance at Kevin Feiqi.

Kevin Feige suddenly turned around and rushed into Donald's office.

"Mr. President, you're selling the rights to superheroes again?" asked Kevin Feige.

"yes, just made $3 million and a whopping 10% revenue share. Donald smiled, looking a little smug.

Kevin Feige took a deep breath and asked, "Didn't you read the document I sent you?"

"The plan to build the Avengers?" asked Donald.

"Yes!" Kevin Feige nodded.

"I've seen it!" Donald said.

"And how do you ......," Kevin Feige asked.

Donald interrupted Kevin Feige with a wave of his hand, "The plan looks good, but the feasibility is too low, do you think Marvel has hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot superhero movies now?"

Even if we did, we had almost zero experience in making and distributing films! We didn't know how to shoot, and we didn't know how to distribute them after we finished filming.

So, do you think I can gamble with all of Marvel's net worth? What if I lose? Break bankrupt and be bought again? Wander around and then make a living by selling superhero rights?"

Kevin Feige opened his mouth but couldn't say a word of rebuttal, because this was the case, and he himself could not guarantee whether his plan would succeed!

Donald sighed when he heard this, "It's not the era of superhero movies, Marvel is like this, and DC is the same.

Don't look at the box office hits of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", but those are just individual super popular heroes, just look at "Daredevil ", "Hulk", "Batman and Luo Bing", and "Superman".

Maybe your plan can be realized in the future, but until I am sure, as the president of Marvel, I can't risk the company's bankruptcy to gamble!"

Kevin Feige nodded with a wry smile when he heard this, Donald's words are not unreasonable, he himself is not the president of Marvel, so he can propose a plan without any worries!

But Donald obviously had to think it all!

"I see!" Kevin Feige said, "but is Marvel going to keep going like this?"

"I don't know, at least not now!" Donald sighed.

Kevin Feige was disappointed when he heard this, not only for Marvel's fate, but also for his own plan!

On the other side, Chen Hao happily returned to Measuring Ruler Pictures, a company that owns Iron Man, Black Widow, Team America, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy!

The Avengers version of Tianji Pictures is worth looking forward to!
