Chapter 440: Acquisition of Marvel Plan

After returning Daniel, the work was smooth and smooth.

He asked Sally to collect a lot of merchandise, as well as signed photos, and sent them to Dr. Jolia in Nairobi.

"To be honest, Daniel, I don't see the difference between the before and after performances, I mean you go to Kenya."

James looked at Daniel's performance and said regretfully.

"I thought you'd show an amazing side."

Daniel laughed, "James, there's a difference between life and movies, the kind of thing that goes out and comes back is like being reborn and becoming a superhero - it doesn't happen in life, yes, if you know that, you don't have unrealistic fantasies." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, James nodded, "You're right. ”

Filming Avatar as a whole was boring, and although it was not the same way as other films, the technology behind it was not interesting, especially since you had to do it over and over again day in and day out.

Fortunately, the actual filming time of the actor was not particularly long, and during this time, Daniel was able to deal with some investment matters with Raymond.

It wasn't until the end of May that Daniel finished filming – and at the same time the semester was over.

"I don't think I'm going to graduate on time."

Daniel lacks a bit of credits.

Sally didn't think it was something worth discussing, so she kept silent, not intending to share the little bit of sadness with her boss.

Kusa played with the pen in his hand.

"Alright, alright, let's get started."

Sally handed out the materials.

"Transformers, uh-huh. The Incredible Hulk—"

Seeing this Marvel project, Daniel frowned, pushing Marvel to shoot "The Incredible Hulk" instead of "Iron Man", and Daniel took great credit. The superhero film that will be released in the summer is also born earlier than "Iron Man". Needless to say. Daniel wants it to fail, and the more it fails, the better.

"I hope to be able to buy Marvel Studios."

Daniel said in a calm tone.

There was silence in the small conference room, where he was all in Hollywood, but still shocked by the huge news.

"Daniel, you can make a more solemn announcement."

"Oh, really?" Daniel said indifferently, "Well, gentlemen, ladies, after careful consideration and careful planning. I decided to push forward with the plan to buy Marvel. ”

This is the first time Daniel has expressed this intention.

Although Kusa, David, and Sally all know this to some extent, it is not the same thing as everyone knows. The latter means that they are about to start working on this goal.

"We have a good chance, first of all, I'm not optimistic about The Incredible Hulk, Marvel will feel frustrated! Second, I think there will be a real global financial crisis starting at the end of the year. Hollywood is also facing a crisis - if the United States is in a recession, how can you expect everyone to go to the movies? So, Marvel will be hit with a second blow. But the process is going to be relatively long, and I think it will probably continue beyond the second half of next year. Therefore, I hope that the company will start formal negotiations with Marvel after "The Incredible Hulk". Raymond will send someone to lead the negotiation team, David. You need to pay attention to this as well. ”

It's not the first time Daniel has said anything about the financial crisis, and it's not just a few people who know about it.

But he never said it in public - because it directly challenged the government's management. And not just different opinions. The two are very different, and the government's tolerance for the two is also very different, Daniel definitely does not have such a big heart, and the financial crisis is not a bad thing for those who are prepared - although the market value of MB and the valuation of F2F may fall sharply temporarily, it will be good for Daniel in the long run.

The meeting focused on DD Pictures' project plans. Winn's new horror film "The Conjuring", Bradley. Cooper's new "The Hangover" and, of course, "Saw", has become the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time, and importantly, in terms of profit margins, it even beats a lot of big-budget series - because DD Pictures has kept the series at a low cost by blurring the protagonist and changing the director, without the high salary of well-known stars, and without the share of well-known directors, but its box office has always been quite high, and the reputation has been maintained very well. The latter is the reason why it is able to produce new works consistently.

"'Despicable Me,'" Daniel smiled, and the project was new to DD Animation. The director who brought Kefen, who has 10 years of shooting experience, has no masterpieces, so after DD Pictures gave him better conditions than Universal, he joined DD Animation as a matter of course, and Universal has no opinion.

He's still just a little guy.

But Daniel knows that the little people will soon become big with this cartoon.

For ten years, Pierre had apparently been preparing some stories and accumulating some experience, and "Despicable Me" had been brewing in his mind for quite a long time, at least the images of the Minions were running around in his head.

Daniel nodded to the project and gestured to Andrew . Stanton, it's a worthwhile project.

On the film list, Daniel also saw Danny. Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire," "Twilight Forest," and Meryl. Streep and Amanda. Seyfried's "Mamma Mia." The little girl who was brave enough to shout at the audition scene, I want to be your wife, has experienced the increase in popularity of "Bad Girl", the acting verification of "Black Swan", and has become a leading figure in the new generation of Hollywood actors.

The meeting was mainly about the heads of the various sections, Daniel was just listening, and everyone knew that he was getting rid of the management work, so it was not surprising.

……

"How's Juno? That little girl isn't bad, right? ”

After the meeting, Daniel and David walked out side by side, and the director chose Allen. Peggy raised suspicions — she didn't have any special masterpieces and didn't exude the temperament that would help make the film a success. But the director's insistence still suppressed these doubts.

David nodded, "What an explosive girl, you should really go and see it, the golden sentences are repeated, the personality is remarkable, and it will definitely make people fascinated." ”

"That's great news." (To be continued.) )
