DD Pictures sent Marvel an offer to buy Marvel when "The Incredible Hulk" was doomed, and of course, at this stage, it was kept secret. However, Kevin, or Avi, of course, are well aware of this offer, and they will not think that DD Pictures lacks solvency - in fact, Plutos's huge cash reserves have attracted widespread attention, and Marvel cannot be invisible, and even they believe that Plutos's related moves may be partly due to the preparation of capital for the acquisition of Marvel.

This acquisition offer has become extremely realistic because of the capital reserves of DD Pictures' parent company.

It's definitely more than just a verbal negotiation, DD Pictures is fully prepared to eat the whole of Marvel, and that's what makes Kevin feel complicated.

In his opinion, this is really a very contradictory thing, on the one hand, his feelings and sense of belonging to Marvel will make him want to maintain Marvel's independence. But on the other hand, he also knows that if Marvel wants to enter the field of film production, it is difficult to go it alone, its size, as well as the large investment attributes of superhero movies, make Marvel's ability to resist risks very low, which means that it must rely on a consortium or a Hollywood giant peer.

Of course, Marvel can also go out of the third way, and a lot of independent studios are trying to get out of this way, and that's the path of DD Pictures -- but basically, it's very feasant. Because everyone understands that DD Pictures' independent development path is completely dependent on its founder, Daniel. Sandler.

Whether it's his social ramifications, his advocacy in the financial markets, and most importantly, his legendary aura of undefeated cinema – every single one of them is unrepeatable. Beings similar to him, such as Steve. Steve Jobs, straddling Pixar and Apple, is also a legend in the limelight.

Therefore. Kevin understands very well that Marvel can't do this, and the big loss of "The Incredible Hulk" - more than 100 million losses, has reduced this possibility to the point that there is no need to think about it, you know, the global hit "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" have brought Marvel less than 100 million US dollars - which is why Marvel wants to promote its own production company.

What's more, as a staunch supporter of the Marvel Movie Project, he knows better than anyone that once Marvel is sold to DD Pictures. How important it is for Marvel Studios.

This is indeed a dilemma.

"Personally, I approve of this offer, but you know that I can't decide the future of Marvel, and the owners of Marvel are still the consortia on the board of directors."

Because of the stubbornness of Revlon's boss and former Marvel boss Perelman, after Marvel went bankrupt during the comic book slump in the 90s, Marvel's future is in the hands of the current board of directors, and they come from different banks, investment banks, and consortia, and their relationships are complicated.

Kevin certainly has the power to back his back. Otherwise, he would not have been able to gain approval on the board of directors, however, it is uncertain whether this force supports Marvel's acquisition.

Daniel, of course, doesn't expect Kevin to play a decisive role. But within Marvel, having a big figure who supports DD's acquisition plan will still create a lot of convenience - this is certainly not to point out the convenience of selling negotiation intelligence, but in terms of communication, rapprochement negotiation process, and so on.

"Daniel—"

"Huh?"

"Did you expect the Hulk to fail?"

There was confusion in Kevin's voice. He doesn't think that Daniel's push for the Hulk is digging a hole for Marvel, after all. The decision to film Hulk's story is still a decision made by the Marvel board of directors and has nothing to do with Daniel. And the plan to release it on the same day as "Spy 3" was also proposed by Marvel. As a Marvel guy, he knows why.

The stupidity of a bunch of brainless people!

The board of directors analyzed the market and decided that the market could accommodate two blockbusters competing at the same time – and that's not wrong, in fact, it's the norm, and blockbusters from different companies sometimes just collide together. Therefore, under this premise, they plan to dip into the light of "Spy 3". Since Daniel and Greengrass announced that they would not continue the series, "Spy 3" has received full attention, and as a finale, it has always attracted many people, whether they have always been satisfied or have been dissatisfied.

Marvel's board of directors intends to use Universal to get followers of "Spy 3" to include "The Incredible Hulk". After all, as the distributor of the two-seat production, Universal Pictures does have this convenience. During the publicity period, there were a lot of bundled news materials.

But the results clearly surprised them.

"Spy 3" did not give "The Incredible Hulk" a ride, but instead raised the sniper and gave it a fatal blow.

The two are not at all coexistent, and Hulk is left far behind by Byrne, watching it cross the 200 million red line while he stops at the 80 million red line.

Daniel was able to understand Kevin. Figo's confusion, in fact, this version of "The Incredible Hulk" is indeed better than An Lee's version in terms of ornamentation, and it is far more commercially focused than that version, but the box office is not as good as that one, for many reasons, he has no intention of giving Kevin an afterthought.

"It's a little bit of a feeling, but it's not so clear, maybe, it's just the wrong schedule?"

"I didn't know, the market and the audience are elusive, and no one can grasp what they want. Perhaps, the future of superhero movies is not as bright as we imagined. Kevin was a little frustrated, but quickly realized that he had made a mistake, "Sure, Daniel, it seems like you can do this, it's incredible." ”

No matter how exaggerated the rendering of newspapers and websites is, Kevin. Figo, and many others, didn't have a personal experience of Daniel's legendary experience, but only generally believed that it was indeed a remarkable achievement. However, it wasn't until it happened to him that Kevin realized that it was so difficult to grasp the market and grasp the audience, which were not very surprising words.

"Maybe, maybe it would be a good idea to hand over Marvel to DD Pictures."

Kevin thought silently.

……

When "Juno" landed at the Toronto International Film Festival and held its premiere, Hollywood knew about DD Pictures' new move: the acquisition of Marvel! (To be continued.) )
