Chapter 69: DG Comics
Dg boss, the famous New York tycoon Mike Miller. He is credited with being the first to create imaginative superhero comics. Although comics and movies have been criticized in recent years. Especially after the emergence of Li Jie's Marvel Entertainment, all aspects of DG comics are at a disadvantage.
Especially when it comes to movies. Marvel Entertainment's previous "Iron Man" was a huge success. And the success of this movie inevitably dragged out the "Supper vs. Hyperion", which was filmed with a huge amount of money before DG Comics, and whipped the corpse.
The film alone cost $200 million to produce, plus $120 million in global publicity and distribution. The total cost was as high as 330 million US dollars, and in the end, the global box office only got more than 600 million US dollars, which can be said to have just saved the capital.
During that time, Hyperion was dragged out of the during the night snack fight, and I don't know how many times. It's all, this movie has a lot of investment, but it's very badly made. Especially the reason for the fight between Midnight Supper and Hyperion is even more nonsense. Because their mother's name is Martha.
So the film has a subtitle: "Night Stalkers vs. Hyperion: Their Mother's Name is Martha." In the end, Iron Man spent $150 million on production, but the global box office made $1.1 billion, and he hung up Supper and Hyperion.
It can be said that Marvel Entertainment and DG Comics are hostile sides to some extent. Although Li Jie has also read a lot of DG comics before, DG has indeed been declining in the past two years. Many people say that it is because of the head of the DG comics and the lead painter and screenwriter Mike Miller Janlang that it is exhausted.
But in any case, DG comics are also childhood memories of this world for Li Jie. Supper has been with Hyperion for many, many years.
So when he walked into the headquarters of DG Comics, Li Jie was a little uncomfortable. Especially when a five-meter-high Hyperion bronze statue was erected in front of the headquarters building of DG Comics, Li Jie couldn't help but look at it twice, thinking in his heart: Does this person really exist?
In fact, compared to Li Jie's discomfort, all the employees of DG Comics today are even more uncomfortable. Because they're actually coming today to welcome the bosses of rival companies to visit! It's, but it's happening.
It's nonsense that you have to welcome each other. But what should be done is still to be done, and it is strange why his boss would actually agree to the visit of the boss of Marvel Entertainment Group, and seem to be very enthusiastic.
At first, DG Comics didn't regard Marvel Entertainment as a rival, because it was a decades-old company. Neither the assets nor the channels are comparable to the new Marvel Entertainment.
But no one thought that in just a few years, Marvel Entertainment would be inflated like a balloon. began to crush DG in the comic business, and now among the top ten best-selling comic publications in the United States, DG still occupies five and is in the top five, but the funny thing is that these five are all night owls' personal publications or extended publications.
The others, such as Hyperion and the beautiful Superwoman, are all outside the twenties.
And Marvel Entertainment occupies all the places from sixth to twentieth in sales. Beautiful Superwoman is a big hit in her previous movies, so she can stand in the twenty-first position.
It can be said that DG Comics is now full of a sense of crisis, and it feels like Marvel Entertainment will overturn its company at any time. In particular, Marvel Entertainment has now actually obtained the exclusive right to supply the Earth specialties of the Nova Legion. Now countless people are surrounding Li Jie's ass, hoping to get the order given by Li Jie.
In addition, Marvel Entertainment began to make a lot of efforts in the movie. Iron Man II is filming, and the filming of Spider-Man is coming to an end, and the response to several test films will be extraordinary. Even Li Jie plans to reboot the "Captain America" series of movies. However, because of the previous rapprochement with the military, the copyright of the name Captain America is still in the US military.
The copyright name that Li Jie and others can use is "Captain Steve Rogers", but this should not affect the sales of the film.
It can be said that Marvel Entertainment is advancing by leaps and bounds in all aspects, while DG feels like it is standing still.
When a little brother who was originally disdainful suddenly became a big brother in the rivers and lakes, and also stepped into his own territory, all the employees of DG Comics were in mixed moods.
However, compared to the mixed mood of the employees, the owner of DG Comics, Mike Miller, seemed to be in a good mood when he met Li Jie. He has neatly combed white hair and is meticulous. Wearing a decent three-piece black suit, even in summer, he keeps the appearance of a suit and leather shoes. There really is an old-school gentleman's style.
"Welcome, Jason Lee, or may I call you Jay?" Mike asked with a smile.
"Just call me Li Jie. Li Jie also smiled.
"Marvel Entertainment is doing very well right now. I really didn't expect you to want to come and meet me. See me, an old man who has exhausted his talents. What to drink? I only have alcoholic beverages here, brandy, champagne?" Mike Miller laughed to himself.
"Champagne. Li Jie chose a drink with a relatively low degree, and he had forgotten that he had drunk too much champagne last time, and then woke up and the system disappeared.
"Actually, I grew up watching DG comics. Hyperion or Night Stalkers, they were all heroes of my childhood. So I would like to pay you some tribute as well. Li Jie boasted.
"But old heroes are always replaced by new ones. Mike Miller shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Now everyone doesn't look at Hyperion." Everyone is talking about Iron Man or something. Take a look at the sales of Iron Man toys. He's sold more toys than all my superheroes combined!"
yes, that's the truth. Because Iron Man's Iron Armor is always updated and changes color frequently. This allows the toy factory to always have a new product coming out. Then divide into different ratios of one to four, one to six, one to nine, one to twelve, and so on. It is also divided into alloys, semi-alloys, plastics, Styrofoam stone statues and so on.
There are hundreds of genuine toys on the market. How many toys can Hyperion make? Those who can afford to play Iron Man toys are local tyrants.
Li Jie just said indifferently to Mike's words: "No way, because heroes like Iron Man are real." They're out there, so they're more popular. ”
Li Jie said seemingly unintentionally: "If Hyperion is also a real person, I guess it will be just as popular, or even higher, don't you say? ”
Mike Miller's eyes narrowed slightly.
