Chapter 177 Encounter

MM Pictures acquired Marvel, everyone knows that they are not interested in running the comic industry, but they just fancy Marvel's superhero series and are ready to put him on the big screen, when the news of the acquisition came out, Marvel Entertainment will rise, MM has all the resources that Marvel Entertainment wants, and it is only a matter of time before they become bigger, but Mark is not bird to Ike, which makes him feel extremely unhappy, thinking that this is contempt and disrespect for him.

In fact, it's not that Mark underestimates him, but he doesn't know who this thing is, a big fart Marvel Entertainment, and the administrative structure is so complicated, it's really a headache, he just heard of Kevin Feige's name, this bull man led Marvel, less than ten years, set a box office of 10 billion, became a bull man comparable to the bosses of major giant companies, led Marvel Salty Fish to be reborn, to glory, even after merging with Disney, it has become Disney's most profitable subsidiary.

Mark said with interest: "Your studio is planning a movie plan called "Iron Man", you only have one bullet, why don't you choose the more popular "Captain America", as a movie with such strategic significance, why doesn't Marvel press on the more popular American team in the comics, and the previous successful mainstream superhero movies are basically based on superpowers, Marvel's own best sales are also Spider-Man and Wolverine, and the popularity of Steel, which uses technology as a selling point, is not very popular!"

Kevin Fechedmark looked at him differently, feeling strange and excited, and said: " If you shoot the American team, you can only start from scratch, from World War II to the whole story, and now Hollywood, historical themes are not a particularly popular genre, which is not a coincidence for the first movie to start, Spider-Man and X-Men can succeed One of the reasons for the success of Spider-Man and X-Men is to more or less cancel all kinds of exaggerated shapes in the original comics, and instead use a more realistic approach to narrate the whole story, so that the audience has a stronger sense of substitution when watching the movie, and we will also take this into account before we will choose a more modern Iron Man to cut into the story of the entire Marvel Universe, of course, I think there is another point, Iron Man was a second-tier character with limited popularity at the time, and even if it was smashed, the impact on the entire Marvel universe would be limited, but Team America, as the spiritual leader of Marvel, if the first part was smashed, the signboard would be ruined, and the entire series would be difficult to do. ”

Mark said: "Tell me about the Marvel Universe, I've heard of this term, but I don't know much about it, the ultimate universe is in Marvel's comics, and you can often see characters from different series visiting each other, Spider-Man ran to fight the Hulk, Wolverine and Captain America rescued the young Black Widow together, which looks very interesting, although they each have different comics, as long as they belong to the same company, they are all characters in the same world, which can pool resources and stand on each other's platforms." ”

Marvel's main world is also known as Earth-616, (meaning June 1961), the importance of the concept of "world" is to ensure the overall continuity of the comics produced by the same company within a certain range, if an event is born in a book, then all the characters in the same world may be affected.

Kevin said: " The Marvel Universe has its advantages, that is, the story has continuity, although it is created by different screenwriters and painters, but everyone is in the same background, so it will not be chaotic, but there are also disadvantages, that is, in the face of the vast background plot, it is difficult for a new reader to understand the ins and outs, and it is unlikely to go to the comics for decades to remediate all over again, therefore, the comic industry in China finds itself in such a contradictory situation, there are fewer and fewer new readers, and the comic shop is becoming more and more nicheThese characters have been repackaged to bring them to life in the context of the 21st century, attracting new readers. ”

Mark said: "If you are poor, you will think about change." ”

Kevin said: "With the advent of the 21st century, relying on the rapid development of computer technology, it is finally possible to truly represent superheroes in movies, and the time is finally ripe for comic book adaptation, Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Columbia have swept the box office in the United States with the "X-Men" series and the "Spider-Man" series, but the global box office of these two successful series of films has only brought less than 100 million box office shares to Marvel as a brand licensor, which makes us realize that manga is the ......." ”

"Gentlemen, what are you talking about?" said Ike, president of Marvel Entertainment, as he walked over and smiled.

Mark said: "We are talking about the word Marvel Universe, I am interested in your plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a series of films independently produced by Marvel Studios based on the characters in Marvel Comics publications, it is like the Marvel Main Universe in the comics, it is a new world built by common elements, settings, performances and characters through crossover works, a movie is a big hit, and then a sequel is launched, and several big movies form the Avengers, which will become the company's future gold mine." ”

Ike said, "So, Mr. Wang, are you interested in this plan?"

Mark said, "Of course, but now is not the right time. ”

It was impossible to push all of this until Marvel was incorporated into MM.

Mark handed the two business cards to Ike and Kevin, respectively, and said, "I'm free to get in touch." ”

The acquisition of Marvel is just a fancy to its film rights, Mark has a reborn golden finger, and he has no ability to make Marvel Comics bigger, which is the inevitable result of the diversification of national entertainment, how can paper comics fight for sound and light entertainment such as movies, television, games, music, etc.? But Marvel can re-emerge with the help of its superhero movies, and after acquiring him, he will personally sit here, responsible for integrating and reorganizing Marvel, and building it into a 10 billion dollar supercarrier, Ike and Kevin will be his left and right arms.

In Mark's concept, after the merger, Marvel will be headed by Mark as the chairman of the board of directors of Marvel and in charge of Marvel Studios, which will be alongside Marvel, while Meghan will serve as vice chairman and be responsible for finance, and the chairman is still Alander, who is in charge of the toy department in addition to the management board, while Marvel's old fritters and cameo madman Stan Lee will continue to serve as the CEO of his comic book department.

After a brief conversation with them, Mark left Marvel headquarters and headed to the Four Seasons Hotel in Madison Square Garden, a large white cylindrical building located on the corner of Eighth Avenue and 33rd Street. Although the site has changed repeatedly, the name remains the original "Madison" and the plaza was built in honor of James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution.

Madison Square Garden is located in Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York, by the locals of New York referred to as MSG or simply called "Garden" It is located on one of the largest train stations in the whole meter on the Pennsylvania Station, many tourists who come to New York by train, the first thing they see is Madison Square Garden, which is worthy of the face of New York.

With Megan's temper, since it is a party, they want to open the best, and charter the luxurious banquet hall of this well-known hotel, so that this group of poor guys can see what luxury is, if it weren't for her star can't stuff so many people, she wants to have a party on her luxury yacht, and continue her love for yachts from her super dad, she drove the star and parked it on the dock on Manhattan Island, and lived on the yacht more days than the mansion in the SC area.

When Mark was about to enter the hotel, he saw several models shooting fashion blockbusters, and many citizens were watching next to him, and he said to the driver: "Stop! ”

Meghan stretched out her head to look at Mark, couldn't help but smile, squeezed her eyebrows at Mark and said, "Go, you still lack a female companion." ”

It was Giselle who was filming outside, Mark felt that since he saw it, he should say hello, he just got out of the car, Megan said: "Have fun, I'll arrange everything, just remember to come to the party on time"

Meghan is like a righteous buddy many times, and Mark really treats her as a buddy, and he also talks to him about the incident with Xiao Li and Giselle that night during small talk, so Meghan knows about this delicate relationship between them.

Mark said, "Thank you!" He made an OK gesture, the weather in Los Angeles was cold, and it was snowing in New York, and the whole Madison Square Garden was a silver world, and Giselle was taking pictures by the fountain, mainly to show a slim-fitting woolen coat, which was perfectly set off by her perfect figure, and she was posing for different people according to the photographer's request.

Because Mark is strong, he is not very afraid of the cold, so he usually wears a shirt and a suit in Los Angeles, but now it is snowing and blowing cold wind in New York, it is a little cold, Mark is tall, and he stands out among the white people in Europe and the United States.

The fat man next to Mark exclaimed, "Oh my God, the Goddess's Flying Kiss!" He held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and he looked like a lustful soul, and he said to Mark: "The world's number one supermodel! My goddess, she's super hot, isn't she?"

Mark didn't answer, the guy asked twice, Mark had to say, "Yes, it's spicy!"

The fat man smiled and said, "This is my goddess, I am willing to drink her bath water, I want to chase her to my hands, I love her." ”

Mark had no choice but to say: "You are one meter six tall, a head lower than Giselle, but you have more than two hundred pounds, do you think you are suitable?"
