Movies are also a profiteering industry, so in the past, Hong Kong films were always full of the shadow of society B, and now although DC is facing difficulties, as long as a successful film is successful, the situation can be improved. Of course, although the windfall profits are huge, the money is not so easy to make, and it will only be more tragic if it fails.

A movie can save a company, but it can also drag a company down, and MGM in the original time and space is the best example. The bet must also be able to bet correctly, otherwise it will not only not be saved, but it will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Malcolm didn't expect much from Zhang Qiuxi, but Zhang Qiuxi's expression was unquestionable. She's not bragging, it's not difficult to borrow the original Marvel model to bring DC back to life and wear a dazzling halo again, the question is whether it's worth it.

If it's just to make money for a script, you don't necessarily have to write a script for DC. Not to mention domestically, "Truman's World", "Hot Questions About Time Travel", "Panic Party" and "Death is Coming" are all successful in North America, coupled with the influence brought by the novel, in Hollywood, not only Warner Brothers will rush to ask for her script.

Zhang Qiuxi's current attitude is, I can help you, but why should I help you? This needs a reason, and the reason why the price of the script will not be disadvantaged is obviously not enough, in fact, this is also asking for benefits, who will help in vain if there is not enough benefits, neither friendship nor Lei Feng.

Zhang Qiuxi expressed it very clearly, and Malcolm was silent for a moment and said, "Teacher Xiqiu." I don't doubt your ability, but you should also give us a reason to convince us. ”

Zhang Qiuxi will only make a move if he can see the benefits, and the same DC will only give benefits if he can see the hope. She said: "I guarantee that we can make DC's development within twenty or thirty years, but this is all false until the conditions are negotiated, let's talk about how much money DC needs now." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hongdou and Jonathan were a little moved, and Malcolm was even more surprised, if it wasn't Zhang Qiuxi who spoke, he was afraid that he would be blown out, even so, Malcolm still said: "Teacher Xiqiu, are you sure you're not joking?" ”

"I like to joke. But now it's clearly not. I know it's a fantasy to guarantee that a company will be strong for twenty or thirty years in the film and television industry, but I wouldn't say that if I didn't have confidence. As long as it's worth it, I can do it. ”

Malcolm still didn't seem to believe it, but it didn't matter whether he believed it or not now, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that what Teacher Xiqiu wants is not just as simple as cooperation." Who wants to spend twenty or thirty years on it other than their own stuff? Frankly speaking, we are no longer the ones who have proposed to buy. ”

"Sir, I know very well that you don't want to sell, I don't want to keep DC for myself, and in fact we don't have the financial resources." Zhang Qiuxi has made a lot of money over the years, but it is not enough for large companies, although DC is in a bad situation now, but the market value is also not low.

There was a pause. Zhang Qiuxi continued: "All we want is to get a little bit of a stake, and then everyone will work together to run the company well, that's all." ”

Malcolm pondered. Sticking out two fingers, he said: "We are now burdened with nearly a billion dollars in debt, plus the cost of investment, operation and so on, it will take at least two billion dollars to operate." ”

Two billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 billion yuan, an absolute astronomical amount, Hongdou was surprised in his heart, but his face did not show it. Zhang Qiuxi nodded at Malcolm and asked her, "How much money can we come up with?" ”

Malcolm didn't know Chinese, so he didn't need to avoid anything. However, Hongdou still lowered his voice, and said with a controlled expression: "Now the magazine's accounts are only tens of millions of operating funds, and the money earned before has been divided, if everyone takes out all the previous earnings, it will not be a problem to make up a billion dollars." ”

Movies, variety shows, and animation peripherals, these are all hundreds of millions of dollars to make money, except for Yang Jie and Zicai Xinnai, they all have a net worth of hundreds of millions, but all of them add up to too much. Hongdou continued: "If necessary, you can go to the bank for a loan, or find someone else to invest, as long as you come forward and a billion dollars is not much." ”

When a person reaches a certain level, it is actually a very simple thing to want money, Zhang Qiu's ability to cherish the circle of money has long been recognized, as long as she wants countless local tyrants, she will be happy to send the money over. There are many rich people these days, and if you can be sure that a person can help you make money, it would be a fool not to invest.

In the same way, banks are the same, Zhang Qiuxi and the various copyrights in their hands are enough as collateral. It is not difficult to raise money, but it is not necessary, Zhang Qiuxi waved his hand and said to Malcolm: "Sir, we are willing to bear a billion dollars in debt, but we need you to use the equity of the office in exchange, as for the future operation, of course, everyone will work together." ”

Zhang Qiuxi and Hongdou's communication Jonathan did not translate, he relayed this sentence to Malcolm, who shook his head again and again and said: "Teacher Xiqiu, it is impossible to want half of the shares for one billion, the market value of our DC comics is definitely not less than five billion, and ten percent is about the same." ”

"Then you should consider the acquisition plans of other companies, or think about it." At this point, Zhang Qiuxi has finished saying everything he wants to say, there is no need to dwell on it, and the topic ends here.

Malcolm's mood was a little heavy, Zhang Qiuxi and Jonathan had a happy meal, and after eating, they said goodbye happily, and returned to the magazine to report to Shangguan Jin, Shangguan Jin said: "It's not a problem to pay money, are you sure DC can agree to your conditions?" ”

"I don't want you big capitalists to talk about money, but I still want to say that DC's so-called market value of 5 billion must be bragging, but at least 4 billion is also worth it." Yang Jie also felt that Zhang Qiuxi was tantamount to robbery.

Zhang Qiuxi lay on the sofa to digest the food, and said: "Many things are not worth as much as they can be sold, with the current situation of DC, who doesn't want to take advantage of the fire to rob, I am sure that other companies are afraid that they will be more ruthless, otherwise Malcolm would not reluctantly come to the Celestial Empire to find us." ”

The situation itself is not good, and superhero movies are not in a recession, so those film and television companies don't care much, DC has no right to speak now, and if someone is left behind, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. DC didn't want to sell in the first place, and those companies were still desperate to lower prices, and it was impossible to negotiate.

"Although the plan of buying shares may be more acceptable to them, it does not mean that they will be able to agree, right? Anyway, if it were me, I would rather go bankrupt than agree to sell cheaply, whether in whole or in part. Ye Qingqing said.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "So you can only be a cartoonist, not a boss." One billion for half of the shares is a real loss for DC, but I can guarantee that DC will be strong for twenty or thirty years, and at that time, it was worth tens of billions at least, and it would be difficult to calculate it carefully. ”

"You're trying to convince DC with this? The pie is painted big enough, the problem is that it is also too mysterious. Yang Jie felt that this was a fantasy and was not optimistic.

"That's not wrong, it's because of Aqiu's guarantee Malcolm that I have to think about it carefully." Hongdou has experienced it personally, so he is particularly confident in Zhang Qiuxi.

Zhang Qiuxi put forward his request, and finally told Malcolm roughly about his plan, so that DC was not afraid that they would not agree when he saw hope, and all he had to do now was to wait for them to come to the door again.

Zhang Qiuxi's plan is also Marvel's plan in the original time and space, Marvel's careful layout put "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Thor" and "Captain America" on the screen successively, and then let them team up to launch "The Avengers" ushered in a box office blowout, with a box office revenue of more than $1.5 billion.

With such a layout, DC can only follow Marvel and eat ashes. Marvel has made a lot of money because of this, and as a movie fan, we should also thank Marvel for bringing so many wonderful movies.

And this is only the first stage, each stage will take several years to implement, release one or two movies a year, and when the construction of the movie parallel universe is completed, it is not impossible to tap the full potential of DC according to this model and maintain its strength for twenty or thirty years.

It's a pity that Marvel's plan hasn't ended yet, Zhang Qiuxi has already crossed over, and the back is destined to be gone, and now he can operate a similar miracle like DC to create Zào, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

"You think it's feasible to say that, but if you spread the Surprise Manga, I'm afraid it will be the same. Most of the superheroes in Marvel Comics were created in the sixties, and many of them are also copycat DCs, so it is perfectly feasible to continue to use a routine. ”

Originally, in time and space, Marvel was also translated as Marvel, and the two names were the same company, because the time and space were different, but the Marvel comics here were completely different from Marvel. Zhang Qiuxi said: "DC people will leak out when they are stupid, and when Marvel Comics reacts, it will be two stages ahead, so don't be afraid." ”

"Aren't you worried that DC will get the plan and leave us alone?" Ye Qingqing's worries have also changed from whether Zhang Qiuxi's plan is feasible to whether DC will cross the river and tear down the bridge.

"I just said it roughly, if there is a plan, it needs to be supported by the script, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve it, what is there to worry about." Zhang Qiuxi is not worried at all, if the movie hits the street, no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless, and he will not be able to sit down if he can't wait for the superheroes to appear on the stage.

In terms of script, Zhang Qiuxi also has a unique advantage, this plan was originally proposed by her, and she is the most suitable for implementation, so she can't help but think about it. (To be continued) R580
