Chapter 1046: Open Cooperation

At the same time, the box office of 1.5 billion has also made superhero movies a hit again. Many companies that have been on the verge of making a move have also begun to look for opportunities to get a foot in it.

It's a pity that the most famous superheroes in the United States came out of two companies, one is Warner Bros.'s DC, and the other is Marvel, which Layla acquired. Originally, there were some superhero copyrights that were sold outside, but they have gradually been taken back by Leila in recent years.

And Dragon Soul has started their huge Marvel Universe plan since "Iron Man". The subsequent films such as Iron Man sequels, Hulk, and Captain America are all working in one direction. According to Lyra's plan, when everything is ready, it is time to start the Avengers!

In recent years, superhero movies have shown a super ability to attract money in a number of blockbusters, which makes major film companies envious.

Leila knows that money can't be made by one person, and there are so many superheroes under Marvel, even if she and the company's directors make one film a year and die of old age, they can't finish filming, let alone have a sequel. So she boldly proposed a co-filming agreement, which means that she is willing to take out some superheroes to shoot with other companies.

She takes out the copyright of superheroes, and she can invest if she wants, and she also has an agency company that can come up with many actors to choose from at any time, not to mention that she also has the most powerful special effects production company in Hollywood.

It's much better to develop with other companies than to waste resources on her own. And the copyright will be firmly held in her hands, just by cooperating to generate profits.

But she did so on the other hand. The first thing is to ensure the unity of the Marvel world. Second, heroes from The Avengers will not be included in the co-op program.

It's good that her own company will make them, and she expects to make a lot of money from them!

As soon as the news was released, even if you know that you will only get second- and third-tier superheroes, many film companies will come to seek cooperation, don't forget that the original Iron Man was only a second-tier hero, and wasn't he shot by Leila for an amazing value?

If you want to ask how popular Iron Man is, you can see just by looking at Downey from a fallen genius to once again succeeding as one of the most valuable male stars in Hollywood.

So when I heard about the cooperation plan of the Dragon Soul Company, many companies took the initiative to find it. It's not so much that they believe that superhero movies can continue to be hits, but that they are willing to believe in Layla's vision.

Take a look at Dragon Soul's filming plans in recent years and in the next few years, almost every year, a superhero movie will be released in the summer slot, and each one has very good box office results.

How good Leila's vision is, you can know by looking at the script she picked. Even she has devoted her entire company to superhero movies, can you still see how optimistic she is about this type of film?

At this time, those people didn't know that in fact, Lyra not only put superheroes on the big screen, but also began to prepare for the production of a gathering on TV stations.

Before she came in the future, like "Green Arrow", "The Flash", "Gotham", etc., all had very good ratings. Taking advantage of the fact that the trend of superheroes is being favored by the public, how could she let go of this opportunity to make money?

Layla didn't bother to negotiate with other companies, as long as she was sure that the superhero they asked for cooperation with wasn't the one she thought had a lot of potential, and the matter could go on.

What she didn't expect was that at this time, an unexpected person came over, it was Director James Cameron, who she regarded as her opponent.

He also asked for cooperation, but not the superheroes, but the special effects company in Lyla's hands.

With enough money and a generous boss to work under Leila, the programmers at the special effects company are doing very well. As a result, their strength is also improving at a high speed, and now they have long occupied the position of Hollywood's No. 1 special effects company, and no competitor can squeeze them off the throne.

The special effects company is really a very money-hungry department, and it is not something that any company can raise. But who calls their boss Leila? This eldest lady, who is worth tens of billions, just shows a little bit from between her fingers, and it is enough for them to buy the most advanced equipment and everything they need.

At the same time, they not only take over the work of Leila's company, but also help other companies produce special effects. Under such circumstances, some small special effects companies have gradually faded out of the sight of many film companies. After all, the special effects of five cents and the special effects of hundreds of millions of dollars are completely different levels, and it is normal to be jealous of others.

As the business grows bigger and bigger, the lack of manpower has become the most important problem to be solved. So people who took a fancy to the potential of the company, or who were simply attracted by the company's benefits, came to apply. When Leila didn't know it, the company had firmly occupied the top of the special effects and became the object of other companies' admiration.

This time, Director Cameron came over in the hope that Leila's special effects company could give "Avatar" some help.

"As you've probably heard, the best thing about my movie is the special effects. I also want to make the film the best performance for the audience. But I've heard that your company is the best and has the most advanced technology right now, and I'd like to work with you. ”

When Cameron was preparing for "Avatar", Leila's special effects company may not have been formed yet. Naturally, he found the best special effects company at the time to undertake his films. But a few years have passed, and the first position has long been done by someone else, and even the most advanced technology is in the hands of others, which makes Director Cameron, who has to pursue everything to the extreme, very unhappy.

"I remember that 'Avatar' will be released at the end of next year. Aren't the special effects done yet?" asked Layla curiously.

"It's almost done. But I think we can do better!" Director Cameron said confidently: "If you want to do it, you have to do it best, and since those people admit that the best technology is here, of course I want to come to you!"

Layla laughed, "I think the people in the company must be happy to be able to say that. But the time is too short, and even if we take over your work, we won't be able to redo all the special effects shots. The most important thing is that you know how much that would cost? I don't think your investors would want to see you do that. ”

The movie has spent more than 200 million, of which special effects account for more than half, if you lose everything that has been done and redo it all over again with the latest technology, not only will it be too late in time, but the money will also have to add more than 100 million costs. Investors can accept Cameron's excellence, but he lost more than 100 million at once, and he may not be able to catch up with the release time, I believe those people will definitely have very opinions.
