Chapter 115: Cinematic Universe Project
Banner blames himself when he learns that he killed someone, and even if Li Congxin tells him that they are all bad people, he still can't let go.
Fearing his own strength, Banner refused Li Congxin's invitation, only asking them to send him to Brazil along the way, and declined Li Congxin's financial assistance.
In this way, after a round of circles in Brazil, the plane came back to New York at noon the next day.
After returning home, Xiaobai told him about the company's current situation as soon as possible, and handed over the script of "Horse Breaking the Sky" to Li Congxin by the way.
After a cursory glance, Li Congxin threw it directly into the trash can three meters away.
"Change is not nonsense, and jokes are not nonsense. I can only use four words to evaluate this script, god horse thing! ”
Regarding Li Congxin's reaction, Xiaobai was not surprised at all. Wen Yan just asked very calmly: "Since you are not interested in that script, then you will personally handle the script of the company's first live-action movie?" ”
nodded, the company is his Li Congxin, and he is responsible for this.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Congxin said calmly: "Uncle Pym's worries are very necessary, our company has been promoted to one of the top Hollywood giants by virtue of stock speculation, and other bigwigs must be unhappy with us, so we must fight every battle beautifully in TV series and live-action movies." ”
Mindy obediently brought the juice at this time, and Li Congxin took a sip and said: "Especially in terms of real electricity, the first battle must be fought beautifully." Its total degree is even several times more than that of TV series! ”
"A loss in the first battle would be unimaginable for our company's reputation. Even in the next few years, even more pressure will be on if you want to turn over. It's like twelve years ago, Ye Na used a "Batman and Robin" to stink the entire industry with his strength, and to this day, no one dares to touch superhero movies......"
Halfway through his words, Li Congxin suddenly stopped, but his eyes flashed with excitement.
Seeing this, Nalan Bai hurriedly asked: "From the heart, it seems that you already have the idea of the script?" ”
Li Congxin didn't answer and asked: "Xiaobai, I remember you just said that Ye Na is interested in the copyright of "Breaking the Sky", right?" ”
Nalan Bai nodded subconsciously.
Li Congxin immediately clapped his head and said, "Promise them." ”
Hearing this, Nalan Bai suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Li Congxin in disbelief: "Are you crazy?" ”
"Of course I'm not crazy." Li Congxin said calmly: "Not only can the copyright of "Breaking the Sky" be sold to them, but even all the copyrights and IPs of the previous dozen animation movies can be taken away if they are interested, I only need one thing ......."
As he spoke, Li Congxin's eyes were already blooming with an incomparably hot light: "That's DC Comics, along with the copyright of all their works!" ”
Listening to Li Congxin's words, Nalan Bai was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked in disbelief: "Are you planning to make a superhero movie?" ”
Li Congxin showed an extremely confident smile on his face: "Why not? ”
Nalan Bai wants to say it, because making superhero movies is a dead end. But when she saw Li Congxin's confident smile, she couldn't say anything to refute it.
Others may not be able to make superhero movies, but if Li Congxin comes to handle it himself, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem.
After all, he was a man who could do miracles!
At this time, Li Congxin continued: "Of course, although superhero movies are now in the frozen period, DC's own comic book sales, as well as games, peripherals and other property rights can also bring them huge benefits every year, and the value is still above all the copyrights in our hands in "Breaking the Sky" and us. ”
"But that's okay." Li Congxin said with a smile: "We can add money appropriately, my bottom line is 10 billion, and of course the less the better." ”
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xiao Bai's face, and he said seriously: "I will leave the negotiation matter to you to deal with." If you can make it, our company's first live-action film, start with superheroes! ”
In fact, the reason why Li Congxin is so excited is not just because of the subject matter of the first movie, but because of a bigger ambition.
That is, to create a DC movie universe that belongs to him Li Congxin!
Originally, when Nalan Bai first mentioned the first live-action movie, the first image that came to his mind was the old popsicle that had been frozen for 70 years.
Although the story of the American team is not as easy to attract fans as Iron Man, and it takes a lot of space to explain the background of the characters or something, the reason why the crossing was not listed by Marvel as the pioneering work of the cinematic universe before the crossing naturally has his reasons.
But Li Congxin has advantages in his hands that Marvel did not have in his previous life.
In this world, the story of Team America is real, and he Li Congxin also has a living Captain America in his hands!
Think about it, what kind of picture it will be to let Captain America play Captain America, this vanity alone is enough to attract countless people to pay money to enter the cinema.
Compared to DC Comics, "Captain America" also has a huge advantage, that is, it does not involve copyright issues.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned by him, due to the ultimate plan of his cinematic universe.
After all, the world he lives in now is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and filming Marvel has a feeling of making a documentary, and not everything can be filmed, and once some content is filmed, it will definitely involve N more troubles.
Take the American team as an example, do you shoot the plot of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?
You must know that thing is a baby bump of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is not known to the world, once you tell everyone in the movie that that thing is in S.H.I.E.L.D., will the boiled egg find him desperately?
In the story of the Hulk, the military plays a very disgraceful role.
If it's just a story, it's nothing, after all, the United States pays attention to freedom of speech, but knowing that Hulk exists, you still shoot like this, it's a bit like pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey.
As for Thor...... That background, Li Congxin really can't be provoked.
On the fingers, it seems that the only movie that can be made is "American Team 1", the "main theme" movie, but a movie will never be able to support a movie universe!
So, after mentioning "Batman and Robin", he immediately made the decision to buy DC.
First, DC's worldview is equally complete, and its potential is not below Marvel. The reason why he was beaten in the film field in his previous life was caused by the convergence of various reasons.
For example, one step is slow, one step is slow, and the tone of the dark background is not pleasant, etc.
There is also the fact that the copyright of DC is in the hands of Ye Na, and Ye Na has a lot of trump cards in his hands, and he didn't pay attention to superheroes or anything at first.
However, Li Congxin is confident that he will create a more brilliant DC Cinematic Universe in the Marvel world!
Hearing Li Congxin say that he would be fully responsible for the negotiation, Nalan Bai immediately frowned and said, "You just came back, don't you have any plans to leave?" ”
Li Congxin nodded: "I'll leave after lunch, but it won't be too long, no more than a month at most." Moreover, my phone is turned on every night, so you can contact me whenever you need to. ”
His answer did not satisfy Xiaobai: "What is it that is more important than the first live-action movie about the rise and fall of the company?" ”
Li Congxin looked at Nalan Bai and replied calmly: "Of course, it is a matter of life and death. ”
