Chapter 260 [Bluestar Technology's Traditional Performing Arts]
With the European Union, China, Yueben, and North America respectively announcing their consent to this round of mergers and acquisitions, it means that there is no suspense, and the reason why mergers and acquisitions between the two sides still need the consent of countries around the world is because you have to enter their markets, if the EU does not agree to this merger and acquisition, then Marvel movies may not be released in the EU market in the future.
This kind of large-scale M&A case is generally very complicated, but this time the M&A case came out unusually smoothly, and it was not too easy compared with Luo Sheng's previous intention of Sun Computer Sun Microsystems and MySQL.
Time passed day by day, and three days later, on April 27, Avi Arad, the head of Marvel Company, Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, and including Robert Downey Jr., the star of "Iron Man", arrived in Shanghai by special plane and checked in at the Hilton Hotel on the same day.
And Luo Sheng also took a special car from Sioux City to Shencheng this evening, in order to participate in tomorrow's joint media conference and the premiere of "Iron Man", the film was first released in China, the time is set for April 30, and the North American release time is May 2.
It is worth mentioning that the timing of the movie was determined long before Bluestar Technology Group launched an acquisition invitation to Marvel Company, and it was not because of the acquisition of Bluestar Technology that "Iron Man" was the first to be released in the mainland.
But for now, it couldn't be better.
This matter has become a news event on the front page of the current domestic and even foreign film entertainment circles, and fans are also hotly discussed, and its popularity is among the best on Weibo, Yunge search, and whiteness search.
"Cattle Criticism, Bluestar Technology is really becoming more and more international."
"Sorry, you can really do whatever you want with money...... [covers his face]"
"Bluestar Technology is one of the few world-class IT giants in our country that can handle it, who is in favor and who is against?"
"Sect Master Luo, is this the rhythm of dominating the rivers and lakes?"
"When "Iron Man" was released, we had to support a wave, and it was originally a pirated version."
"To be reasonable, I'm still looking forward to watching the trailer of this movie."
"I hope it's a big hit at the box office!"
……
On the morning of April 28, the joint media conference was held as scheduled.
More than 100 media from home and abroad attended the event as scheduled, and professional media organizations in the entertainment industry accounted for half of them, but there were also mainstream media at home and abroad.
After all, Bluestar Technology Group is now spending tens of billions of dollars at every turn.
At around 11:20 a.m., Luo Sheng, who had arrived in Shencheng last night, attended the media conference with Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Comics and the president of Marvel Studios.
Under the focus of many shots, Luo Sheng, who presided over the press conference, spoke to everyone: "I am very honored to announce the merger of the North American comic giant Marvel Comics into the big family of Bluestar Technology Group, and today I will announce that the Marvel Film Production Department has officially changed its name to 'Marvel Studios' in China, and the word Marvel Comics will also become a thing of the past, and will be used by Marvel Comics, Marvel Movies and Marvel Studios for Chinese consumers in the future." ”
Prior to this, Marvel Comics' film division was not called "Marvel" in China, but from today onwards it will be presented to the world under this name, Luo Sheng continued: "Kevin Feige will continue to serve as the president of Marvel Studios. ”
As soon as the words fell, a foreign man sitting in a position on the right side of Luo Sheng got up with a professional smile and greeted him with his eyes, and the cameras on the scene also focused on him for shooting, and after a while, the camera turned to Luo Sheng again, and the latter suddenly started to blow each other:
"Kevin is very well versed in the Marvel Comics setting, the architecture of the Marvel Universe, etc., and I think and believe that he can connect the tasks of the series and fully cater to the audience's tastes, he is a very business-minded person, and I believe he has the ability to lead Marvel Studios into a new chapter."
At the press conference, Luo Sheng's speech also praised Kevin Feige's production talent, anyway, business blows each other right.
However, the industry people present, especially the media in the entertainment industry, paid special attention to a term that appeared in Luo Sheng's wording just now - the Marvel Universe.
What the hell is this?
Soon the answer was revealed, and Luo Sheng said again: "Another thing we also want to announce is that Marvel Studios has formulated a package of plans, quite exciting good news, let's let the professionals answer it." ”
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng ended his speech and looked at Kevin Feige, who saw Luo Sheng's indicative gaze and immediately accepted the speech at the media conference.
In the spotlight of everyone, Kevin Feige suddenly spoke American accent English, but those who could not understand foreign languages also had hearing aids.
“uh…… To be honest, I'm very excited right now, joining Bluestar Technology Group has ushered in an unprecedented transformation for Marvel Studios, and it has also allowed us to confidently realize a plan that we have been brewing for a long time, I swear, is so exciting. ”
"The Marvel Cinematic Universe Project, we try to make an alternate world composed of a series of movies based on Marvel Comics characters by Marvel Studios, they are all in the same worldview, like the Marvel Universe in comics, there are common elements, settings, performances and characters established through the deep linkage of cross-border works, and other comics, movies and animation series belong to an officially recognized multiverse worldview."
"And the upcoming Iron Man will be the beginning of the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
Kevin Feige's excitement is not deliberately faked, but really very excited, and Marvel Comics has a hard time, but it has ambitions.
Salted fish have dreams.
The concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had been secretly planned as early as 2005, but it was a huge and incredible production project, and the situation at the time was nothing short of a fool's dream for Marvel Comics.
But now the situation is different.
After being merged into the Blue Star Technology Group, Marvel immediately received an additional $120 million in financial support from the parent company, and there is no financial problem.
Kevin Feige announced the news, and the entertainment media at the scene were stunned, and many of them opened their mouths into the shape of duck eggs.
It's really alive, this amazing comic company was going to die some time ago, and it didn't make much difference to mortgage almost all the belongings to Merrill Lynch, which had just been merged into the Blue Star Technology Group, and the newcomers learned the "traditional art" that this group company likes to play big money in minutes.
