"From this moment on, we at Marvel will no longer sell a single character, not even a character who appears once and dies, let alone those famous superheroes!"

Andy's loud voice continued to echo through the quiet conference room.

"I know that New Line Pictures' Blade in 1998, Fox started in 2000 with X-Men, and with Spider-Man in 2002, Sony had even more success. There are also the Fantastic Four, Daredevil Heroes, and Ghost Rider who have been changed to a mess, and I also know that Marvel Studios already has the idea of making its own movie, and the idea is right, which I agree with very much.

Before I go beyond my layout, I would like to thank one person here, David Messer, our group's Executive Vice Chairman, thank you, thank you for keeping our Captain America and Thor, and with Ike's strong recommendation, you will be the future CEO of Marvel Studios... Andy said and looked at David Messer, who had already stood up with a serious and calm face, and before the words fell, Andy was the first to applaud.

The audience burst into warm applause, Andy pressed down with his hands, smiled and nodded for David to sit down, and then looked around and said: "Maybe you are still curious, what was Stan excited about just now, you are all our Marvel managers, you should all get an agreement, this agreement is a non-disclosure agreement, if there is no problem, you can sign it." ”

Andy looked around after speaking, and everyone in the conference room did not hesitate, but quickly signed their names, if they didn't sign, would they be fired?

"Alright, guys, draw the curtains, turn off the lights, turn on the projector. Andy said with a light smile after seeing the two lawyers in his think tank put the agreement away.

Andy stood in front of the screen of the projector with the remote control in his hand, and the light shone on him, even taller.

"Before I bought Marvel, I was thinking about a question, if I succeeded, how should I make Marvel rise? After all, superhero movies have been tried too many times, some good and some bad, the most important problem is the changes in the process of comic film and television, the fan base is our advantage, but most of them are comic book fans, and comics...

Well, the public is so impressed with the main and ultimate universes of Marvel that on this basis, no matter how the movie script is written and modified, it will not be recognized by everyone!

So, I came up with a new plan, please see ... Andy pressed the remote control in his hand, and the first chapter sketch appeared, with the new Marvel Studios logo on it.

"The Marvel Cinematic Universe, numbered Earth-199999, is a series of films independently produced based on characters from Marvel Comics publications in a shared alternate world centered on superhero movies. Like the main Marvel universe in the comics, it is built by common elements, settings, performances, and characters through crossover works.

With the Avengers as the main skeleton and a single superhero movie as the branch, superheroes such as Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America are put on the big screen in turn... ”

Before Andy's explanation ended, someone in the conference room began to applaud excitedly, and David Messer, who has always been calm and serious, was uncontrollably moved and excited, he knew that he was not being assigned, but really going to do a big job.

"My Avengers plan is divided into three phases, the first phase of 6 films, first shoot the story of each character, and then shoot the hero team Avengers, so that the setting of each film is unified, and it also lays interconnected foreshadowing in each film to form a unified world view... ”

Andy smiled and stretched out his hand to press down, waited until the conference room was quiet, and continued to elaborate, in the conference room, representatives of Marvel and Bank of America listened very carefully.

“。。。 Avengers 3: Infinity War May 2018, Ant-Man and the Wasp July 2018, Captain Marvel March 2019, and Unnamed Avengers May 2019 are the final third phases. ”

Andy clearly saw the changes in the faces of everyone in the conference room from surprise, to excitement, to suddenness, and finally to stunned and shocked.

The applause was thunderous, and all the people stood up and applauded warmly, and the frivolity of the Americans was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and the excited whistles and words of admiration were endless, and the scene was very lively.

Stan Lee and Ike looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes, and everyone looked at the young and unspoken tall figure standing in the light with almost adoring eyes.

After the excited crowd calmed down a little and sat down in their seats, Andy chuckled and continued: "Then, our Marvel Cinematic Universe will be officially launched today, and our first superhero to be on the big screen - Iron Man Tony Stark... ”

In the office of the CEO of Marvel Entertainment Group, Andy sat on the large sofa in the DU in the lounge area, looking at the five people in front of him with a smile.

Own chief thinker Alveterte, Bank of America representative Lewis, Marvel's Ike, David and Stan Lee.

"Lewis, thank you bank for your help. "Andy first thanked the only outsider here, well, not an outsider, Bank of America has taken over all of Marvel's debts and become Marvel's sole creditor.

"You're welcome, Andy, you know, our offer is always valid, as long as you want to. Lewis said with a smile on his face.

"NO, NO, Lewis, since I became the owner of Marvel, the value of Marvel has been increased to the point that I will not release even a little bit of shares, don't mention this again, if you don't see the first stage of the plan, I don't think your bank will be eyeing Marvel's shares, our cooperation will continue, help me and your CEO say thank you very much." Andy stood up and shook Lewis's hand and said sincerely.

"Okay, it's a win-win, then I won't bother you, if you need anything, you're always there. "Lewis knew it was time to leave, he needed to go back and report, and to be honest, he really wanted to get some Marvel shares, Nima, the idiots on the board didn't look down on it yet.

Sending Lewis away, there were only his own people in the office, and Andy looked at David Messer, who was calm and expressionless.

"David, the matter of Marvel Studios will be handed over to you, you and Stan will immediately set up a six-member committee after you go back, write the script of Iron Man, form the crew and screen the actors, if you need anything, go directly to Ike, I will review it personally after the script is completed, and you can take away the sketches of those steel suits. ”

"Understood, boss. David Messer nodded in crisp reply, and stopped talking.

"Ike, it's key to start negotiations with Paramount, terminate the distribution cooperation with them, and keep the amount of compensation down, and I'll ask my think tank to send a few people to help you. At the same time, we will continue to negotiate with Sony and Fox to expand our share of profits even if we can't get the copyright back. ”

Andy naturally knows how profitable the distribution of Marvel movies will be in the future, even if his peak is not as good as Paramount in local distribution, but isn't it just spending money on advertising, he still has this confidence, as for the number of screens in theaters, everyone's starting point is the same.

Of course, giants like Fox, Universal, and Disney have cinema shares, but who will have trouble with money.

"Sony and Fox are not going to compromise anymore, we have negotiated some of the cuts in '05... ”

Andy frowned slightly, and directly waved his hand to interrupt Ike's continued introduction, and said: "Then sue them, sue them, and drag their project to death, I know that the agreement with Fox is a bit difficult, Stan, you have to focus on comic book publishing for a while in the future, and start to end the X-Men series!"

"Shhhh

Except for Al, the other three can't help but change color, ruthless enough and courageous enough, decades of series will add weight to the negotiation of interests, and directly want to end the entire series, Nima, comic book publishing also makes money.

"Okay, maybe it's a bit of a rush, but you definitely can't continue to expand the mutant lineup! Andy knew that he was in a bit of a hurry, but he definitely couldn't let Fox, who was struggling all day, lead him by the nose.

"Don't we still have an Inhuman? Transpose the follow-up of the mutants into the story of the Inhumans, with S.H.I.E.L.D. as the main line, and expand the story to contain the X-Men in Fawkes's hands. ”

The three of them glared again, Nima, what kind of brain is this, so easy to come up with a countermeasure? Well, it's really a genius.

Of course, Andy's acting skills are still very good now, and he just pretended to be meditative, but he just took out Marvel's tricks to deal with Fox in the later stage.

"Well, that's a good idea, it's just that the lineup of mutants is too large, and Fox has a lot of room to maneuver, and you can expand the characters casually. "Stan Lee has been doing comics all his life, and he knows best the value of mutants.

"Ike, this is your job, get stuck in Fawkes's neck, question the agreement, and restrict them even if you can't get the copyright back. "Andy just wants to entangle them with a lawsuit, Nima, don't let me take advantage, don't stop! Otherwise, why spend money to support so many lawyers!

The other four, including Al this time, all looked at each other, with black lines on their foreheads, this Nima was completely unreasonable, ready to play the rhythm of a scoundrel.

Al pondered for a while before he stretched his brows and said, "Boss, your method may really be feasible, there seems to be such a clause in the US copyright law... ”

"Hehe, of course, I asked, Article 107, exclusive rights are limited by the principle of fair use! It's just that most of them restrict the copyright owner, and we are now questioning the copyright owner as the original creator, just thinking backwards, you must know that the stronger the commercial factor of using a copyrighted work, the less likely it is to be considered fair use. Andy took the smile you know from his face and raised his eyebrows, which made Ike and the others come to their senses at once.

Nima, you can really play like this! There is undoubtedly a valid reason for this, the court will definitely accept it, and once it enters the judicial process, it can completely entangle Fox and Sony and let them start the film project without a start!
