"We need a sign," Hammer said in an impassioned tone, "When it comes to Hades, some people will say that it is the Hades who made Avatar, not the Hades who invested everywhere." ”

"I understand what you mean, our layout in the industry is indeed very weak, but do you think that an avatar alone can make an image, not to mention, if you lose a lot of money and have a bad reputation, then we are a joke in the industry."

Hee Sung didn't ask too much about the business situation of Hades Films, first, he was not interested, and second, Hammer was indeed a very capable person, mature and sophisticated, and not lacking in forge ahead, but he didn't want this kind of aggressiveness to turn into arrogance.

The $500 million investment is just a movie, and so far no other company has had the boldness.

Hee-sung was worried that because of his own foresight, Hades Pictures was too smooth, which gave Hammer the illusion that he underestimated the business risks, so much so that he arrogantly believed that Hades could dominate Hollywood.

"I've been talking a lot with Mr. Cameron lately," Hammer said unhurriedly in the face of his boss's questioning: "Although Cameron is indeed a little crazy, his work is indeed very imaginative." ”

"Imagination, he is really good at tossing," Xicheng said angrily: "You told him that the production and distribution of publicity are a total of 600 million US dollars, is there more, this time it is really not a joke." ”

"Hehe," Hammer smiled wryly, touching his chin, "So, the boss agreed?" ”

"This is indeed an opportunity for us," Hee Sung has no reason to oppose it at all, he has long known that "Avatar" is very profitable, even if some members of the public do not rate it highly, but when it comes to special effects, this is a complete milestone.

"So, the money thing?" Hades Pictures invested too much last year and this year was involved in a big deal to buy ATV in Hong Kong. The money deposited in the bank is no longer enough to deal with the problem at hand.

Hammer also does not want to bring in outside money, even if it is the family behind Hee Cheng.

"There is no need to worry about money, we can get a low-interest loan of no less than $5 billion from JPMorgan Chase," it is really timely rain, the front foot and Xiao Mo reached a verbal agreement, and the back foot of the money worked.

Xicheng doesn't doubt that Xiao Mo will regret it, the last thing he is afraid of when opening a bank is someone to take out a loan, if the money rots in the treasury, it will be a trouble, but the interest on this money, JPMorgan Chase's CEO Jimmy. Dimon may need to explain it to the directors.

"Five billion!" A well-informed person like Hammer couldn't help but exclaim.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's good to be tall.

Look at the people Xicheng, the son of the nansam fund family, the standard rich second generation, even JPMorgan Chase has to give face.

He obviously didn't expect that Hee Sung had betrayed his family to get the full support of JPMorgan Chase.

"If there are five billion, I still have an idea, boss, we should take a long-term view." It is said that the bosses of many companies come from university debate clubs, so they have first-class eloquence and the board of directors asks for money, and they have money. is the real perfect manager.

Hammer's eloquence is good, and he knows very well what kind of language a boss, a young boss, can be impressed.

Look at. In the long run, Xi Chengran was attracted to attention, and he leaned forward slightly. Nodding his head, he said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"There's been a lot of big things in the circle lately, and I think the most noteworthy ones are," Hammer said after a pause and in a categorical tone, "The most noteworthy is the battle for MarvelComics." ”

“MarvelComics？” Hee Sung blinked, isn't that Marvel Comics?

In the past few years, Marvel and DC have fought a comic book war, Marvel's funds have shrunk and almost collapsed, plus it has been hit hard by the financial crisis, and last year it began to seek a new way of cooperation, that is, selling.

"We believe that comic book adaptations will occupy a large share of future films, especially science fiction films, and comics have had more and more fans since June 1938, when DC Corporation created the world's first superhero, Superman, in the inaugural issue of Action Comics."

Hee-sung was pleased with Hammer's eyes, but he didn't say anything right away.

"The only comic book companies that Hollywood can handle are MarvelComics and DCComics," Hammer said, "DC has superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Green Arrow, as well as superhero teams such as Justice League and Teen Titans; And Marvel has more than 8,000 comic book characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, Daredevil Hero, Ghost Rider, Ant-Man and superhero teams such as the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy ......"

"I've seen some, you don't need to go into such detail," Hee-sung interrupted.

"Uh......" Hammer choked up, most of his momentum was low, but he still said eagerly: "DC was bought by Time Warner, and we don't have any chances. ”

"Hehe, do we have a chance with Marvel?" Xicheng shook his head, a little disapproving, he was not unmoved, but he knew that some things could not be done with money, of course, without money, it could not be done.

"It's true that our chances are slim, Disney has already made a bid of $3.8 billion," Hammer's eyes burned, undeterred.

"Disney is determined to win, and they have more mature experience and resources than us in adapting comics, Marvel will not choose us," Hee Cheng is very calm, in fact, Marvel did fall into the hands of Disney in the end, but I don't know why the dust has not settled until now.

In 2004, Disney's negotiations with Pixar failed, and two years later, it spent $7.4 billion to acquire the entire Pixar Disney.

This time, they had their eye on Marvel.

Disney is one of Hollywood's major studios, and they are very capable of developing licensed merchandise around their characters. Under the International License (License! Disney's 2008 international licensed product sales of its characters were $30 billion, far ahead of any other company.

After Marvel becomes a part of Disney, Marvel Comics characters will have the opportunity to ride Disney's big ship and enter more regions and countries.

As long as Marvel is not stupid, they will not choose Hades over Disney. (To be continued......)
