At this time, night has fallen on New York, as the world's top city that never sleeps, New York shows its prosperity to the world, Wu Jianye can see through the glass, the New York elites who were in a hurry have disappeared.

Instead, there are groups of fashionably dressed young people, or embarrassed homeless people, some with a dirty puppy at their side, and a hot dog cart just a short distance from the café.

Hot dog trucks in New York are very famous, some even call them the street landscape of New York, and the hot dogs in New York have a special name called Dirty Water Hot Dogs, just like the street culture of New York, dirty and attractive.

For example, when the British Prime Minister visits New York, the mayor of New York will invite him to eat dirty water hot dogs, Madonna, Celine Dion and other female stars, who will also take care of the image.

Wu Jianye looked at the hot dog cart and said to Ham Gran impatiently: "Hurry up and decide, don't delay me to buy food!"

Ham Gran glanced at Wu Jianye helplessly, the multiple-choice questions given by Wu Jianye before were actually not to be chosen, and he also understood that things had developed to this point, and he had no choice.

"All right!" Ham Gran finally agreed.

Wu Jianye smiled and took out the contract and check that had been prepared, Hamgran signed his name on the contract with humiliation in his eyes, and then took the check in Wu Jianye's hand.

In other words, from now on, the "Spider-Man" series, which has created tens of billions of value in the future, was officially taken into the hands of Wu Jianye.

"I'm curious about how Phantom Entertainment is going to operate this comic, there is a 'five-year new film' agreement here!" Ham Gran felt no more pressure after signing his name.

Most of the characters sold by Marvel have a 'five-year new film' contract, which means that if Phantom Entertainment can't create a movie for this character within five years, then Marvel has the right to take back the copyright of this character.

The third part of Sony's Tobey Maguire's version of the "Spider-Man" series trilogy was released in 2007, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" was released in 2012 for this reason, if that time limit is exceeded, Marvel has the right to take back the copyright of the "Spider-Man" comic.

The 'five-year new film' contract is also in many other Marvel characters.

Wu Jianye smiled: "You don't have to worry about it." ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye got up and left, now is definitely not the best time to make "Spider-Man", the reason why Wu Jianye is now taking the copyright of "Spider-Man" is nothing more than not wanting him to fall into a chaotic lawsuit like another time and space, and what he is doing now is just the first step of Wu Jianye's plan!

Walking out of the café, Wu Jianye came to the hot dog car, next to two young girls in hot pants, each of whom was also holding a dirty hot dog, looking at the long bread sandwiched with a sausage, and then the girl opened her mouth to eat the first bite without caring about the image, Wu Jianye's heart suddenly became evil.......

What a shameful picture!

Wu saw that the boss of the night management asked for a dirty water hot dog, a cup of Coke, but unfortunately Coke is Pepsi, not very Coke, now the main direction of very Coke is still Southeast Asia, only after consolidating its own Southeast Asian market, will it officially wave Europe and the United States.

According to the plan for the cold water drink, this is two years away.

"Are you kun?" Just when Wu Jianye was thinking wildly, the two girls in hot pants next to him recognized Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye nodded with a smile and said, "Yes." ”

One of the girls excitedly said, "Kun, I'm your fan, can you sign an autograph for me?"

Wu Jianye spread his hands and smiled: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring a pen!"

In fact, Wu Jianye has a pen in his bag, but it's just a lazy signature.

However, to Wu Jianye's surprise, the owner of the hot dog car at this time said with a smile: "It's okay, I have a pen here!" After speaking, he enthusiastically handed the marker to Wu Jianye.

As for why the owner of the hot dog car prepared a marker, Wu Jianye didn't know, but at this time, the pen was available, and it was embarrassing not to sign it.

Wu Jianye glanced at the two girls and asked, "Where is the paper?"

It's still the girl just now, and said with a smile: "You don't need paper, you can sign here!" After speaking, she raised her murder weapon, the meaning was very clear, and it was okay to sign on here.

The girl was wearing a white T-shirt, which was very suitable for autographing, and Wu Jianye was not pretentious, and signed her name with a smile.

And the other girl waited for Wu Jianye to finish signing, and pulled her low-cut T-shirt even more boldly, directly revealing most of the murder weapon, and directly asked Wu Jianye to sign on it.

Wu Jianye smiled, he liked such autographs.

It's soft, it's stiff, and it looks young.......

After signing the name, Wu Jianye returned the marker to the owner of the hot dog car, and by this time his hot dog had already been prepared.

"Kun, are you filming 'Ghost Love' in New York?" the girl asked excitedly.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"By the way, you haven't introduced us yet, I'm Martha, she's Annie, we're all your fans, don't listen to those media, when your movie is released, we will definitely go back to support you!" Martha said happily.

Wu Jianye said politely: "Thank you!"

At this time, Wu Jianye was about to leave with a hot dog, and the two girls were excitedly chattering around Wu Jianye to express their admiration.

Looking at it like this, if Wu Jianye thought about it, it is estimated that the two of them would follow Wu Jianye back to the hotel today.

But Wu Jianye thought about it and forgot it, after all, this kind of girl picked up on the street, although she looks quite young and full of vitality, but who knows if there is a problem, Wu Jianye doesn't want to cause this trouble, and finally leaves alone.

It's just that Wu Jianye had just walked a few steps, and suddenly an old black man stood in front of Wu Jianye and said in a deep voice: "Sir, can you borrow some money to buy a hamburger!"

Wu Jianye looked up at this old black, at least one meter nine tall, in fact, Wu Jianye's height is not short, but compared with the big old black, it is still a little shorter, coupled with his strong figure, it gives people a sense of oppression.

At this time, if someone thinks that he is really just borrowing money, it is very wrong, many people in New York will carry some change with them, in order to deal with such a situation, because if you are stingy with your money at this time, it is very likely that the white knife will go in and the red knife will come out.

This is actually the reason why Sam in "The Love of Ghosts" was designed by Carl to be robbed, because such things are staged almost every day in New York, if it is not a real upper-class person, the probability of not being able to solve the case is very high when encountering such a situation.

So why Little Spider has become one of the most popular heroes in Marvel Comics, one is because the comic has a very high status in the hearts of teenagers, and Little Spider's background makes him more acceptable to teenagers, and another reason is that he is a neighborhood hero, in Brooklyn this kind of thing happens every day, many people hope to have such a hero by their side.

However, this big old black obviously chose the wrong object, and just when he was standing in front of Wu Jianye, a few young men in black suits suddenly ran not far away, standing directly in front of Wu Jianye.

In the situation of knowing that the security of New York is a huge problem, how could Wu Jianye come out alone, the people of the maple security guard are already protecting Wu Jianye 24 hours a day now.

And in order to cope with Wu Jianye's life in the United States in the past few years, Maple Security has set up a branch in the United States, you must know that in North America, firearms are legal!

When Da Lao Hei saw this battle, he naturally immediately withered, if he wasn't born with a black face, it is estimated that his face would be white at this time.

"Director Wu, are you okay?" The person in charge of Wu Jianye's safety in North America is a northeasterner named Hu Jian.

Wu Jianye smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!"

"Understood!"

Wu Jianye got into the car with a hot dog and a coke, and went straight back to the hotel, as for that big old black, where would Wu Jianye care about his fate.

After returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye made a special call to Linda and told her that the copyright of the little spider had been obtained.

Linda herself asked with some curiosity: "As for the copyright of a comic character, as for you personally?"

As mentioned before, Hollywood's attitude towards superhero movies today is to treat them as a pit or a giant pit.

So when Wu Jianye proposed her plan, Linda was also a little surprised by Wu Jianye's plan, and she didn't know what Wu Jianye thought.

And according to the current status of Phantom Entertainment, even if you want to get the copyright of Little Spider, in fact, you don't need Wu Jianye to come forward in person, just send a manager over.

Wu Jianye stuffed the last mouthful of hot dog into his mouth, and then said comfortably: "Anyway, there is nothing to do at night." ”

Linda didn't think much about it, and said on the other side of the phone: "The company has negotiated with Contenstine Pictures, and the copyright of "Fantastic Four" has been bought for $500,000!"

The name Contenstine Pictures may be unfamiliar, but one of the film series they produced in later generations was the world-famous "Resident Evil" series!

The movie adapted from "Fantastic Four" is not famous in later generations, but the fame of the Fantastic Four in the comic book industry is not small at all, and in the history of Marvel, there have been three waves of heroes to sell.

Now is Marvel's first wave of selling heroes, and for Hollywood studios, they naturally like Marvel's behavior very much.

Although superhero movies are a pit now, there will still be many companies that will buy the rights of some superheroes to expand their film libraries.

And when Marvel was preparing to sell its superheroes, it also opened the door, and with the studio's picking, "Fantastic Four" was the first wave to be selected, which shows the popularity of "Fantastic Four" in North America.

The first wave of heroes was sold, and the most popular heroes such as X-Men, Spider-Man, and Fantastic Four were sold.

The second wave sold Iron Man, Hulk, Doctor Strange and other movies, so it is inaccurate to say that Iron Man is only a second-rate hero in Marvel Comics, at least second-rate.

By the time of the third wave, in fact, all that was left were some superheroes that no one wanted, including Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Punisher, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Humanoid, Vampire Morbius, etc., and their contracts were still the famous "5-year new films".

To put it bluntly, these superheroes are actually picked and leftover.

Now Wu Jianye asked Linda to buy the copyright of "Fantastic Four", which is naturally preparing for the later plan.

"What about the copyright of the X-Men?" Wu Jianye asked.

The task that Wu Jianye gave to Linda before was to buy the copyrights of all the heroes that Marvel had sold, and the X-Men were specially explained by him.

At this time, the copyright of the X-Men has not been bought by 21st Century Fox, but in the hands of Orion Pictures, but in history, Orion Pictures has had a financial crisis in the past two years, and then sold the rights of the X-Men to Caroko Pictures.

And the copyright of the X-Men has another benefit, that is, the copyright of the X-Men is not a five-year contract for the new film, which means that this copyright has been permanently sold by Marvel.

By the way, the first part of "X-Men" is also Marvel's first superhero movie with a box office of over 100 million.

"Orion Pictures' asking price is a bit high, and I think they're trying to make up for their losses with the X-Men rights!" Linda said.

Wu Jianye chuckled and asked, "How much do they want?"

Linda preached, "$1.3 million!"

"Another lion opened his mouth and told them that $1 million is worth two dollars, and if they don't sell it to us, they don't have to worry about them anymore!" Wu Jianye said.

This is not to say that Wu Jianye doesn't care about the copyright of "X-Men", on the contrary, Wu Jianye cares about their copyright very much, and there is another clause in the copyright contract of "X-Men", that is, all mutants in Marvel Comics and the copyright of the word mutant are included.

That is to say, this is not the copyright of a single hero, but the copyright of a whole set of heroes, why was Deadpool taken away by Twenty-first Century Fox again in the later dispute, that is, in the later dispute, Deadpool appeared in the comics as a mutant, so later "Deadpool" was also included in the command of Twenty-first Century Fox.

The reason why Wu Jianye is more confident is because Caroko Pictures, which is now taking over the copyright of "X-Men", does not have the strength of another time and space, if Orion Pictures does not sell the copyright of "X-Men" to Phantom Entertainment, then the copyright can only be taken back by Marvel when it goes bankrupt!

Then Orion Pictures, like Ham Gran, who negotiated with Wu Jianye before, will not get any benefits.

Linda said on the other side of the phone: "I know, but do you really believe that superheroes will become the mainstream of movies in the future?

Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry!"
