Chapter 32: Still Too Young
Li Jie looked at Michael and made his own suggestion: "I won't tell you, Michael. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info: I have my own ideas for Marvel. ”
"I'm not against making films, it's just that there are some things that need to be discussed. I don't transfer my copyright. Not even adaptation rights. I need to be responsible for the image of my heroes. Li Jie's words made Michael frown slightly.
Because in this case, Disney's interests will not be maximized, and it is not the best choice for him.
"Do you probably just think that I have the rights to these well-known heroes?" Li Jie said as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Is there anything else?" Michael, curious.
"Naturally, just like what I did with this company, the world needs heroes. Li Jie smiled.
"In addition to these well-known heroes, there are also many New York vigilantes including the Justice League (the one of King Haibian) and so on, and the copyrights of them are in my hands, they may not be worth much now, but what about the future?"
"In addition to filming superheroes, Disney can even shoot some small things about civilian heroes. I think it's a good theme for Disney as well. ”
Michael shook his head noncommittally: "But that's for later." Let's talk about the copyright of Spider-Man. ”
"When it comes to hero image, you don't need to worry about anything. I know you can get the rights to these heroes, and it's a trust for you anyway, and I know that. But you also don't need to worry about what bad things Disney will do. You should understand Disney's filmmaking principles. Michael said, leaning back in his chair.
Li Jie nodded: "Yes, I understand, [KeepPg] is a happy family, you can die but you can't have blood." Reject excessive elements of violence and lust. It's also because of Disney's filmmaking principle that we can sit here. ”
"Seriously, Marvel is not short of money Michael. Although my company is still very small, the rumors are true. The Osborne Group and the Stark Group are the big financiers behind it. I can tell you bluntly that the investment arm of the Osborne Group will raise more than $1.5 billion in the next round of funding for Marvel. And Tony Stark's private Horizon Fund has also begun to make estimated investments in the company, no less than the Osborne Group. ”
Michael looked at Li Jie with some surprise, there was no news of these things before.
Of course, with the relationship between Li Jie and Harry and Tony, many things do not need to be negotiated by a large negotiation team, and sometimes a large investment of more than a billion dollars can be negotiated with an outdoor barbecue.
In fact, now that this matter has entered its final stage, Marvel's expansion has become imperative, especially after the Battle of New York. Whether it is from the perspective of personal relationships or the interests of the group, investing in Marvel is a good choice.
"Actually, even if you're not here, Marvel's plans to make a movie will be on the agenda, and it won't be too long, especially after the battle of New York. Li Jie calmly said something that made Michael not calm.
Michael looked at Li Jie: "But Marvel doesn't know anything about Hollywood, right?"
"Yes, I don't deny it. But Hollywood is not without options other than the Big Six. Disney or Warner are really strong in the entertainment industry. Li Jie's eyes glanced at Michael meaningfully.
"But in the strong is only an entertainment company. Michael chuckled in his heart when he said this.
"Mr. Michael, you should look at the superheroes I own the rights to, in a different light. They're not Hollywood stars, whether it's Leonardo or Tom Cruise. They are just in the entertainment industry after all. ”
"No matter how good they are, Disney, Warner, MGM, Paramount, etc. are the mountains that are difficult to climb in front of them. Compared to them, they are people in the circle, you are the rule makers of the circle, Michael, you are the most powerful person in Hollywood, you can naturally say nothing about them. Even if there are contradictions, at least they won't do anything that you really regret. ”
"Even if you tear your face, you will lose some money at most, and your reputation will not be good. Li Jie didn't even look at Michael when he said this, he just said to himself.
"But look at the superheroes down there? They're not Hollywood superstars. There are super-rich people, government agents, and Captain Rogers will gain real power in the government because of this incident, and become a person of real power. ”
"Street heroes aren't that easy to deal with, there are murderous ex-mercenaries, scavengers on the underground front, dark heroes who clear out the top gangsters in the whole of America. Do you think Disney can really handle them?" Li Jie turned his head to look at Michael with a smile.
Michael didn't know if there was something sarcastic in Li Jie's smile, maybe there was?
"Do you think you can take responsibility for any deviations in the movies and reports in the future? Even the best talkative Spider-Man, he has a night watch behind him. "Li Jie broke Michael's intention to choose Spider-Man as the first adapted hero.
In the end, Spider-Man is better to bully.
"Pattern, Tucson broken. Li Jie said lightly. This made Michael feel a little harsh, but he still held back, because he felt that what Li Jie said had some truth.
I really don't know how this kid got involved with Tony Stark, he seems to have a good relationship with Captain Rodgers. If it weren't for these two people to help him, I'm afraid his Marvel company wouldn't be able to open. Michael thought, of course, there are some deviations from the real situation.
"So, if Disney wants to make a hero movie, I welcome it with both hands, but it's impossible to give you all the adaptation rights, it's not good for me to make a one-shot deal, it's not good for me, and I'm afraid it's even worse for you. Li Jie didn't go into the details of what was worse, but Michael made up things like throwing feces on the weld door and spraying red paint, and he shuddered (huh, why are these things so familiar?).
"So, let's split the agreement. Marvel and Disney can be strategic partners. Li Jie looked at Michael and offered his opinion.
…………………………
The meeting with Michael lasted about an hour, and after the general direction was finalized, there were some small details. But that requires a detailed plan and the involvement of a lawyer.
Obviously, this is not something that can be negotiated in a day, and Li Jie has already contacted Daredevil Lawyer Ma to get him ready to take on the case of the legal counsel for this business negotiation.
Li Jie is also relieved to be able to roughly finalize the direction of these things, the movie will definitely be made, but he has not yet decided who will shoot first. This requires thinking.
And just then, his private phone rang.
"Hey, who's that?"
"It's me, Wade Wilson! I heard Michael Eisner went to find you! Is it going to make a movie?!Is it going to make Deadpool!"
Wait, as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, you're too idle!
