Chapter 874 - Positive to "Gang"!
Li Jun is ready to buy Marvel, a giant company that will occupy a large seat in Hollywood in the future.
Now that he has enough American knives, Li Jun, who swallows Marvel, can sleep on the banknotes with peace of mind.
The future is a fan era.
And fans of Marvel superheroes are all over the globe.
Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow...... Every superhero is a huge IP.
At the point of Li Jun's rebirth in the previous life, when Disney acquired Twentieth Century Fox Films, the original Hollywood film giant Fox, and the main assets of Fox, including Hulu, Star Media in India, 20th Century Fox Film and Television Company, Fox Television Group, and National Geographic, will all be under Disney.
Fox Film Company is the production, "X-Men" series, "Deadpool" series, "Home Alone" series, "Ice Age" series, "Robots", "Crazy Primitives" and James Cameron's 3D blockbusters "Avatar" and "Titanic" are all produced by Fox.
Disney is Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, Cinderella, Alice, Sleeping Beauty and other familiar animations are all produced by Disney.
On July 27, 2018, The Disney Company acquired Fox's film and television assets for $71.3 billion, and Disney will also assume approximately $13.8 billion in Fox's net debt, meaning that the total value of the deal is about $85.1 billion.
Disney's acquisition of Fox was astronomical and average.
It's unimaginable to think about it, 80 billion, or dollars, and Marvel is a Hollywood company at the same level as them!
Of course, Marvel is not now, Marvel in the early and mid-nineties has not set foot in Hollywood at all, just desperately pushing comics, and now it has a toy company, a card company, a comic distribution company, a story with huge debts, and the current Marvel boss Logan only wants to sell the adaptation rights to Marvel, and does not want to make movies himself...... Or are you ready to sell cheaply.
Because Marvel is definitely the most embarrassing time since the establishment of the company, in 1991, a group of star painters such as Marvel Jim Lee and McFarlane withdrew from Marvel's self-reliance portal and established the IGE company, Marvel lost the most appealing author, and in 1994, it faced the bursting of the bubble in the comic industry, a large number of comic stores went bankrupt and closed, Marvel's sales channels were damaged, and the stock price also fell all the way, and it was faced with having to file for bankruptcy and reorganization at any time.
Marvel is now in a hurry to go to the doctor and sell copyrights indiscriminately, and now is the best time to make acquisitions.
In this life, he will become the savior of Marvel, the superhero of Marvel, and lead Marvel to be reborn.
In the previous life, Marvel did not sell itself completely, but it basically sold itself almost, Disney has a lot of shares in Marvel and the right to use copyright characters, as for not completely taking it down, Marvel has a difficult soul Stan Lee, so Li Jun's acquisition of Marvel also needs two positive characters, one is Disney, who is eyeing Marvel, and the other is Stan Lee, who is notoriously difficult to do.
This real name is Stanley Leber, he is the younger brother of Goodman's wife, the earliest founder of Marvel, who joined Marvel at the age of sixteen, as Marvel's editor and main author, he not only created 80% of Marvel's well-known characters, but also accompanied Marvel through more than 60 years of vicissitudes.
It can be said that it was Stan Lee who really created the miracle of Marvel, and he is also known as the leading boss of the American comic industry.
To get this person, then you have to know this person.
After Li Jun's celebration party, he began to carry out comprehensive intelligence collection on Marvel.
There are already some on hand.
Now Zhou Yingying sent him some more.
It's still about Marvel and Stan Lee.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
Li Jun motioned for Zhou Yingying to leave.
Open the information you have.
About Stan Lee.
In the 50s, American comics suffered the greatest challenge, and the "comic book harmfulness theory" became popular, and in the spring of 1954, the Senate held a hearing specifically on comic book publishing. Comic companies had to set their own limits, and at the same time, there was a movement against comics in society. Publishers shut down, and within a year, comic book sales fell by 75 percent. Goodman, the founder of Marvel, was overwhelmed by the loss and shut down the company then known as Atlas.
Although Marvel's comics were still in publication — with only a small office left and all distribution channels lost, the few remaining comics had to be distributed through the channels of rival DC Comics.
Marvel was teetering on the verge of collapse, and the comic book industry seemed so promising that Stan Lee, who had struggled for years in adversity, almost decided to quit the industry and find another job. However, in 1961, an incident happened that changed all that. When Marvel boss Goodman and DC boss Lebovitz played golf, Lebovitz mentioned that DC had just launched the popular "Justice League", a team of all the star characters, and that Goodman was inspired to make a decision that would forever rewrite the history of comics: he wanted to build his own team.
He told Stan Lee about the idea. Stan Lee had originally intended to write a work on his mind before retiring from the comics industry. At Goodman's request, he came up with an outline of the story and, together with painter Jack Bryant, created a new group of heroes: the Fantastic Four. It was this comic that led to the resurgence of Marvel.
Following the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee opened the second vein of Rendu, which successively created the Hulk and Spider-Man.
Many of the superheroes that became known to everyone in later generations were created by Marvel, most of which are Stan Lee's masterpieces: Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, Daredevil and Agent Nick Fury......
And in later generations, there was the Avengers series that swept the world, and its movie box office seemed to be open in the global market.
Stan Lee is a comic book genius and the soul of Marvel.
If you want to get the current Marvel, you have to get the genius Starley, who is now called an immortal genius by the outside world.
The old man with an imagination like a demon, Li Jun after understanding the information, is ready to visit him before issuing a Marvel acquisition action, the paper is finally shallow, Wall Street capitalists think he is difficult, a lot of capital is interested in Marvel, but they are all defeated, all because of that Stan Lee, they named it Lao Immortal, and the name of the old immortal in later generations is even louder, because Hollywood movies make money, Wall Street people naturally inject capital, play big productions, big investments, as long as they can make money, capitalists will not care about any art, but Stan Lee always raises the bar with them for the sake of art, so the name of the old immortal in later generations is even louder,
Now Li Jun is ready to face the "old immortal" as a fan, and explore the old man's tone, saying that he is very suitable to be a Marvel fan at his age!
This can be a very cordial meeting.
