Chapter 456: It's Small, It's Fun
Marvel Universe !!
Marvel people have had similar vague concepts before, but they have never been able to connect them together into a feasibility report.
Now, in the hands of an investor who has just joined Marvel, they see a complete and detailed workable solution.
With "Iron Man" as the first stage, "The Incredible Hulk" was launched at the same time to attract the Hulk, and then "Thor" was filmed to bring the characters online.
Next, the three are connected together to form a preliminary worldview.
This was followed by the reboot of "Team America", with the addition of Spider-Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Captain Marvel.
While launching the IP project individually, all the characters are interrelated, and finally putting them all into "Avengers" to push the story and characters to a climax.
Seeing this detailed planning book, to be honest, everyone at Marvel was trembling in their hearts.
This is how much confidence the other party has in the Marvel Comics characters to make such a huge shooting plan.
Not even they themselves have such determination.
Don't substitute the current Marvel with the views of later generations, because its current situation is still walking on thin ice.
Before receiving Li Zhenyu's $1 billion capital injection, Marvel can only be said to be cautious, and one careless may declare bankruptcy.
Looking further back, the filming of "Iron Man" was the last wave of Marvel's unwilling failure.
If the film didn't work out at the time, Marvel's backup plan was to sell all of its comic book characters to pay off the debt.
Even if the film is successful, it will only relieve Marvel, which is on the verge of thin production.
Now, Marvel, which has just received $1 billion in funding, has finally gotten rid of the tragic situation that he had been holding on to.
But if you want to develop according to his idea, the funds that ordinary people can't spend in ten lifetimes don't seem to be enough!
"Lee, isn't your plan too risky?"
The cartoonists below, all with gold stars in their eyes, can be exchanged for business, which is terrifying.
Kevin Feige is a producer who wants to bring those anime characters to the big screen, but his purpose is never to be a liking.
Making money is the ultimate joy of his life.
With money, you can soak in a yacht worth more than 100 million yuan every day, and go deep into Jane with a tender model worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Li Zhenyu's plan was too risky in his opinion.
Of course, if successful, Marvel will be the most profitable studio in Hollywood, without one.
But a successful businessman should be like Goldman Sachs.
I can make less, but no one can make me lose money......
Even if it seems to be a profitable business, Goldman Sachs will use hedging to eliminate risk, even if it will make them a lot less money.
It's not the businessman who gives it a go, it's the speculator.
Such people are often as fleeting as fashionable.
How high-profile it is when it is brilliant, and how miserable it is when it is down......
Seeing his expression, Li Zhenyu could guess his inner thoughts, which was to regard himself as a speculator who had achieved something and began to float.
Who would know that those 'gambling' that they see as risky have actually been experienced once.
Collect my hole cards at any time and tell me how to lose?
Li Zhenyu also wants to lose, but he can't afford to lose with a pair of kings and four 2s!
"Are you worried about the financial problem......" Seeing that Feige wanted to explain, Li Zhenyu preemptively said: "I can understand, after all, the situation at Marvel has not been optimistic."
Now, let's sign an agreement. I am personally responsible for this project, and if there is a loss, the loss will be paid by Uniworld Capital. ”
Feige was ecstatic at first, and then stunned, and this kind of good thing that was picked up for nothing could also fall on his head.
But what about the later buts?
"But ......"
Hearing this, Fei Qi was finally relieved, and this was normal.
"I want absolute control, no one can meddle, and on top of that, I want 70 percent of the net proceeds."
"No, that's too high."
Feiqi frowned, his eyes full of contemplation: "I can promise you the first condition, but 70 percent...... It's too high. ”
70% of the net income was taken by him, what is Marvel, and the remaining 3% is not enough to even settle the wages of employees.
If you really want to do this, Marvel is equivalent to working for him for nothing, or the kind of money that sticks up.
Pay for your own work? Capitalists like Wang Defa and Fei Qi want to cry when they hear it.
Stan Lee also joined the discussion, offering a neutralization plan in which control was given to him, the company took half of the risk, and the proceeds were distributed by shares.
Of course, Li Zhenyu can't agree, he bears more risks of accidents in his own job, but he only takes the salary of his own job, where is this good thing, take me one?
You must know that 32% of the half of the risk borne by the company belongs to him.
Could it be that if the company loses money, he, the major shareholder, does not need to contribute, if so, then he raises his hands in favor.
After some intense discussions, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement.
Li Zhenyu is in charge of the overall project and has absolute control, the company bears half of the risk, and the benefits are also half.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Li Zhenyu is confident.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Feige gripped his hand with a complicated expression, feeling as if he was missing something.
But the heart that I always carried in the past finally got a sense of comfort and steadiness.
There is no longer a need to worry about waking up to find that the company is bankrupt, and there is no need to scratch your head for where to find a breakthrough and new investors.
Since becoming the CEO of Marvel, his hair volume has become less and less, and products such as hair growth serum have been added to his daily necessities.
Now, I can finally catch my breath.
Two days later, the two parties signed a contract at Uniworld Capital, after which Feige proposed to celebrate.
He's got the Hills in Beverly, and the girls have arrived.
Li Zhenyu wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the hospitality of the two, so he got into the car half-pushed.
When you get there, the inky iron door on the opposite side opens automatically.
Fei Qi opened the car door and said that he could get out of the car, Li Zhenyu was a little helpless, and thought that he drove in directly.
When I got out of the car and looked inside, there was only a narrow tile passage through the door, and in front of it was the main pool for the party, and there was no place to park.
'It's such a small place! ’
Compared with the palm manor arranged by Xiaozha last time, it is completely incomparable.
But when he saw the undulating waves by the pool, he suddenly changed his mind, "It's small, it's fun." ’
"Sir, the entourage is not allowed to enter."
As soon as he entered the door, someone reminded him in his ear that Li Zhenyu turned around and saw Sean who was stopped outside the gate.
At this time, he stared at the attendant who stopped him with an unkind face, and the coldness in his eyes was full of intimidation.
The two attendants were afraid in their hearts, and they lowered their heads weakly, but they couldn't put down their blocking arms because of their duties.
"Wait for me outside."
Hearing his boss's command, Sean withdrew his threatening gaze and turned to leave.
Squeak~
The iron door closed again, and the two attendants remained motionless with their arms raised.
"Hey, what are you two doing, the people are gone."
"Director, my body seems numb."
Another attendant said in the same bitter cry: "Me too." ”
It's too hard to be two law-abiding citizens living in the free world.
