After two more days of negotiations, Shao Yuncheng's investment company finally completed the acquisition of Weilong Comics for $360 million, and had to repay its foreign debt of $140 million.

This purchase price, which is equivalent to 500 million US dollars, is far less than the price when Disney acquired Marvel in the previous life!

But in the previous life, when Disney acquired Marvel, Marvel had the success of Spider-Man and Iron Man before and after!

Marvel in 2009 is a "gold mine exposed in the sand"!

Although the benefits brought by the two films are certainly not worth the price of the acquisition at that time, the acquisition is like buying stocks, as long as there is a little good news, the price will rise sharply.

Today's "Weilong Comics" is undoubtedly in a state of "bearishness", if it weren't for Shao Yuncheng's good money and Shao Diheng's urgency, it might be possible to lower tens of millions of dollars if it was grinding, but at that time, it was not guaranteed that Shao Diheng's fancy superhero had been sold.

Just before the completion of the acquisition, Weilong Comics had sold a comic superhero called "Fat Mantis", and He Chaojun's favorite "Cement Man" was also sold, I'm really sorry for him.

On the night of the acquisition, he flew to the United States, and he had to explain in detail to the management of Weilong Comics about the layout of the Avengers, which is an important part of the tens of billions of output value and the future layout of Xiangjiang Films!

In Weilong Company, all the important management are there, and the founder of Weilong Company is David Li, the founder of Weilong Company, who is over 80 years old this year, Shao Diheng saw him, and remembered his grandfather who was almost 100 years old and still insisted on going to the Shaw Office every day.

They are all old people who have dedicated their lives to their careers, and they deserve everyone's love!

The people present did not despise Shao Diheng because of his age.

Because David Lee also drew his first comic when he was a teenager, and people who draw comics and make anime often have a childlike heart, a person full of dark psychology, and can never make a work full of childlike fun.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself first, you can call me E.L.F.! It was my father Shao Yuncheng who bought Weilong Comics, but that was my idea. Shao Diheng went straight to the point and said: "Why do I want to acquire Weilong Comics? Of course, I am very optimistic about the prospects of Weilong Comics! There are two main reasons for this, the first is that the rapid development of CGI technology has made many impossible shots possible, and in comics, omnipotent superheroes can appear on the big screen!"

Shao Diheng saw that everyone nodded in agreement, and continued.

"The second is that I have seen in Weilong comics the positive, secular, down-to-earth, and humane qualities, everyone has fantasized that they can become admired superheroes! Superheroes are fairy tales for adults! I believe that Weilong comics will become an important part of American culture, and will also become an important part of world culture!"

"So, sir, what do you think is the reason for our previous failure?" asked one of the employees.

This problem can also be seen as a test of Weilong Comics' to Shao Diheng!

If you don't even know why they failed before, no one will believe that you can pull them out of the quagmire!

"I've studied your three films, and I want to ask if the finished products of those movies are made according to your author's thoughts?" Shao Diheng asked rhetorically.

David Lee and a few other writers paused when they heard this.

"There are two main reasons for this. The first is that you feel that you have no experience in making films, so you rely too much on the ideas of directors and producers!

I don't deny that some of the best directors can be compatible with the commerciality and artistry of the film, but the few you invited are obviously not, your Weilong superheroes are actually very simple, justice and evil are relatively clear, right and wrong are clear! This also dooms your films to be clean and neat rhythms, but this concept is obviously not in line with the film philosophy of these directors. In their films, there are no good and bad people in the true sense, and there is no world where right and wrong are distinguished. ”

In other words, their film philosophy is contrary to the rules of your superhero world in principle, which determines the imbalance of the rhythm of his films. ”

The director spent half of the time sorting out the culture and humanity behind it clearly. As a result, the first half is loose and sloppy, and then they seem to have discovered this problem, so the second half uses the action scene too frequently, causing a sense of flooding, which is very easy to visualize. ”

"In this way, the audience on both sides is offended, the audience who is biased towards commerciality will leave before the second half, and the audience who is biased towards literature and art feel that the second half has ruined the first half!"

Shao Diheng's words really made everyone present feel enlightened!

It's no wonder that when I watch a movie, I always feel that this is not the feeling I want, but I can't tell what the problem is!

Many of the people present really regretted it, if they could have pointed it out at the time, Weilong would not have come to this point!

"However, in fact, part of the reason for this is not to blame the director!" Shao Diheng suddenly took a turn, "Then is the second point I want to say!"

"I know that VC Comics has succeeded in one superhero series, which makes you very stressed, so you are eager to let its superheroes appear in the eyes of the public as soon as possible!"

"This has led to too many linkages in a movie! You want to say so much that you can't explain it clearly in two hours! So in addition to comic fans, many passers-by and viewers are confused, you must know that the box office of a movie can never be supported by comic fans alone! You are too anxious, and this is the second reason why you fail!"

Shao Diheng's two reasons convinced the people of Weilong Company.

If it weren't for Shao Diheng's appearance, maybe they would be trapped in this quagmire forever!

God willing, you have finally sent your messenger down!

"So from today onwards, I hope you can calm down and make a movie with the mentality you had when you created comics!

There was warm applause in the office, and everyone looked at the man who pointed out the country with hot eyes!

"Here's my plan for Weilong Comics, a twelve-year shooting plan! I call it the 'Avengers Universe Project'!"

"In 2005, that is, in the first half of this year, I was preparing to shoot "Captain America 1", and I was striving to release it this Christmas!"

As for why it wasn't the Spider-Man of the previous life, because this involved a big plan of Shao Diheng, and he planned to gradually test the possibility of the implementation of this plan in the next two years!

Moreover, the filming of "Captain America 1" is simpler than that of Spider-Man, and most of them can choose to shoot on location, with less cost and lower risk.

"At the same time, according to the outline of "Thor" I wrote as soon as possible, publish independent comics as soon as possible, prepare for the filming of "Blue Giant 1" in the second half of the year, and prepare for the filming of "Thor 1" in the first half of 2006, I hope to see the release of "Blue Giant 1" and "Thor 1" in 2006!"

"...... 2007"

Shao Diheng has been talking about the shooting plan of 22 movies in 12 years, and it didn't stop until 2016's "Spider-Man: Far From Home", which marks the end of the third phase of the Avengers universe!

"I'll talk about the linkage between movies and movies, we don't need to implant too much information in a movie, we just need to ......"

Next, Shao Diheng talked about how to link other heroes in the movie, such as billboards, newspapers, web information, etc., which can give hints, which will not affect the viewing of passers-by and audiences, but also satisfy comic fans, and even put forward an ending easter egg that has never appeared in this world!

The creativity of this ending easter egg alone is enough to make people stunning!

It is conceivable that this idea will definitely become the signature of Weilong Movie!

Or even the fun that many people stay in the cinema until the last minute in the future!

Of course, it will also become a grudge for the cleaning aunt......

Shao Diheng only stayed in the United States for one day before returning to Xiangjiang, and naturally there was a special person to follow up on the matter of signing a contract with an actor, and he couldn't give too many opinions, the reason why he rushed back was that he was going to record the fifth episode of "The Voice of Dreams" tomorrow, and it was also the day when he was ready to kill five times.

Are you ready?
