Chapter 463: Stan Lee
threw out 200 million to make two movies at once, which is a comfort to the signed stars who have been waiting and seeing, at least they don't have to worry about running out of things to shoot. With such a big production of hundreds of millions of people, there are hundreds or thousands of actors at every turn, are you afraid that you can't find a role that can play a role? And the big-name stars are also very interested in Leila's movies, whether they are made by her or not, even if they are the movies she fancies, they have very good results.
Of course, it would be better if she could participate in the film she shot herself. Watching her rhythm of making a popular film, as long as she can rub a good role in her movie, she can basically ensure that she has a reputation in the world.
AMG's affairs were put down by Lai after they were arranged, and the rest of the time she focused all her energy on Marvel's acquisition. Marvel boss Martin Goodman is a very shrewd man and is well aware of the potential his company has.
The price offered by Channing was fair, but Goodman was not satisfied, and he did not even want his company to be bought. He believes that the current predicament does not mean that the company has no future, but that the time has not come.
If the other party is unwilling to be acquired, it is not impossible for Layla to get Marvel, but it will require more time and funds. Qian Ning had little hope of acquiring the company from Goodman, and the other party was rejected without even making a counteroffer, obviously with no intention of selling at all.
He is not a person who will give up because of a little setback, and the reason why he returned without much struggle is simply because he is not optimistic about the acquisition, and he does not want her to make a loss-making business for the sake of her wife's daughter.
After listening to his report, Leila raised her eyebrows faintly: "I remember that you said that you would buy two companies under my umbrella before May, do you want me to tell Janet's future children that his father is a man who doesn't talk and has no integrity?"
Speaking of this, she ignored Channing's darkened face and made a surprised expression: "Oh, I forgot, you are not the father of Janet's child now, what a pity, I wonder if you have a chance to be called daddy by him?"
With Qian Ning's self-cultivation, he was also suffocated by her words. This is Ming Huanghuang threatening him that he will not be able to marry a wife, and he will not let the children recognize him! The most infuriating thing is that he does not doubt that there will be such a possibility at all. With what he knew about Janet, if Leila insisted on preventing her from marrying her, she would definitely obey her daughter.
It sounds a little incredible, but Janet's love for Leila is not only full of maternal love, but also a deep sense of guilt, and she has always regarded it as her sin when she was seriously ill and almost died as a child. Not to mention that Leila told her not to get married, it's not impossible to ask her to do anything!
"I know! I will definitely buy Marvel for you!" Qian Ning gritted her teeth and gave her an answer in a stiff tone.
"That's good. Leila then put on a smile again, as if the-for-tat confrontation just now was just an illusion.
Scumbag man! Make her mother's belly bigger, get pregnant before marriage, and still want to give a good face?
That's right, we Leila still harbor deep malice towards this man who dared to make her mother a single mother. It's normal for Westerners to do this, but for her, who has the soul of an Easterner, it's not an exaggeration to describe her as a heinous crime.
But it's her own business, and she still shows him a clear way: "If the negotiation doesn't go well, you can find Stan Lee." ”
"Stan Lee?" Channing must have done a detailed investigation before in order to acquire Marvel, so how could he not know about the existence of this BUG-like character.
Speaking of Stan Lee, fans who love superheroes must be familiar with it. It is this cartoonist who can't draw that has brought countless superheroes to the world for more than 30 years. The well-known "X-Men", "Doctor Strange", "Hulk", "Iron Man" and so on are all from him and his comic book partner Jack Bryant.
What will make many people remember him in the future is that this old man has made cameo appearances in most comic movies, and even many people will look for him as an easter egg in the movie when watching the movie.
"Didn't he leave Marvel in '98?"
It's no surprise that Leila knows this: "Yes, he did leave and started Stan Lee Media. It's not doing well, though. "It's really bad, it's this year that his company will go bankrupt because of poor management.
Qian Ning was puzzled: "In that case, why are you looking for him?"
For someone who has been away from the company for several years, the only thing he can think of is that he probably has some say in Marvel. It's just that how much power this discourse has, and whether it can be heavy enough to change Goodman's mind is worth pondering. He doesn't think that the Marvel boss is someone who will be easily persuaded.
Leila smiled slightly, "You just do what I want." Find Stan Lee and tell him that as long as we get Marvel, he can get 8% of the rights to the superheroes he designed. In addition, by the way, he was reminded that the X-Men received a good box office, and what did he get except for a role in a role?"
Speaking of this, Qian Ning had already understood what she meant, and once again decided to take his wife and children away from her side in the future. He has seen a lot of geniuses, but this is the first time he has seen such a demonic one. She not only grasped Marvel's weaknesses, but also calculated humanity into it.
Is 8% revenue share too much? With Marvel now, it's certainly not much. But even if it's not much, it's a good income for Stan Lee, who is in the midst of a corporate crisis. And as soon as Laila officially receives Marvel, she is bound to use her ability to tap the business opportunities contained in it.
Last year's X-Men grossed 295 million worldwide at a cost of 75 million. This is an astonishing achievement, and even a film that is not as good as Layla's is enough to excite the production company.
If Leila, who can make small-budget movies at sky-high box office, shoots new superhero movies, you can imagine what kind of gains will be made at the box office. That way, Stan Lee, who has the right to share, will get a sizable share of it.
After being reminded, Qian Ning thought a lot in an instant.
"I know what to do. With that, he gave Leila a complicated look before turning to leave. Being taught what to do by a child who is half younger than himself really makes him, a self-proclaimed financial genius, a little unable to hold his head up.
