At the Supreme store, Hideki Hanyu talked to Shiina Shinsada and got a general idea of what the store is like today.

How to say, more than a year down.

Because Shiina Nobutai is bold and avant-garde, eclectic design.

Tolerance of niche cultures.

A pandering to emerging streetwear elements.

This shop is now well-known in New York SOHO and even in the entire New York street culture circle.

And while they were chatting, Hideki Hanyu also saw with his own eyes that the business of this shop was still quite good.

Once this kind of niche circle, independent and special cultural goods are famous, they will unconsciously attract the support of some "artists" who claim to be "unique".

With the help of word of mouth from these people, the store will often have a lot of die-hard customers within a certain circle.

At this time, James Jebia, the founder of Supreme, who was also working at SOHO in New York and another time and space, took the same path.

The other party's insistence on Supreme's so-called "style" has made Supreme have many die-hard fans, and it also makes this store have a large number of consumers queuing up to buy every time it is new.

But while this approach has its advantages, it also has its drawbacks.

The overly niche business route has left Supreme with no qualifications, but its business expansion has been extremely slow.

Not only was it miserable by various copycat brands.

Commercial earnings are also very unoptimistic, and at best, the market value is only more than $2 billion.

One of the most important things is that the "art" and "niche" that pursue themselves too much have led to the gradual abandonment of the mainstream in product design.

At its peak, Supreme was even comparable to LV, Chanel and other big names in neon.

But after a short period of peak, it was quickly surpassed by rising stars.

Struggling in the market.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with pursuing the so-called forced style.

But in doing so, you have to be prepared for the consequences of being abandoned by the market.

At this time, Yoshiyuki Ishizuka, who had gone to the port to pick up the goods, returned.

This guy is really as Shiina Shinsada said, and his appearance has not become too exaggerated.

But as one of the managers of the trendy store, he also wore a Supreme costume.

Hoodie, wide-legged pants, plus a pair of flat shoes.

It's completely different from what it looks like in a suit and leather shoes when it's neon.

Seeing that the two of them have arrived, Hideki Hanyu should know almost everything.

He simply asked straight to the point, "I think Supreme has reached a new stage of development, what are your opinions on how to go next?" ”

Shiina Nobuta scratched his head and looked at Yoshiyuki Ishizuka.

He himself only cares about product design, and for the development of the store or something, Ishizuka Yoshiyuki has always been in charge.

Yoshiyuki Ishizuka was not stage frightened and said what he thought.

"President, I want to continue to expand Supreme's visibility in New York's street culture."

Hanyu asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I found a nice shop in Brooklyn with a large vacant lot in front of it, and I was going to rent both the shop and the vacant land.

Then he opened Supreme's first store in New York and converted the vacant lot into a skateboarding spot.

My goal was to make the new store and venue a hub for New York's street skateboarding culture, so that Supreme could reap the benefits. ”

Yoshiyuki Ishizuka's idea was very good, and Hideki Hanyu nodded with satisfaction.

However, when he saw that Ishizuka Yoshiyuki finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and asked a little strangely, "Is that all?" ”

Ishizuka Yoshiyuki replied a little embarrassed, "For the time being, that's all I can think of." ”

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he knew that it was already very good that these two people could do it to such an extent.

After all, not everyone has the eyes like him, who can see through time and understand the development of the future world.

"If your desire is to run Supreme into a niche fashion store, that's great, but if you want Supreme to continue to expand, it's not enough!"

Hideki Hanyu said this, staring at the two of them tightly, "So do you want Supreme to become a niche store that will be a small fight for a long time, or do you want to take Supreme's unique street culture and develop in the mainstream market?" ”

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, Ishizuka Yoshiyuki did not answer.

Shiina Nobutasa spoke first, and instead of answering directly, he said, "I want my design to be seen by more people." ”

Yoshiyuki Ishizuka hurriedly followed, "As a manager, of course, I hope that Supreme will develop better and better. ”

"Since you all want to make Supreme bigger, I have a few suggestions for you."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, the two of them said in unison, "Sir, please speak." ”

"Supreme is now well-known in the New York street culture market, but how to bring Supreme into the public eye and help Supreme expand further, the first thing to do is to promote it."

Hideki Hanyu paused slightly at this point, as if organizing the language.

After a moment, he spoke again.

"It's a good idea for Ishizuka-san to open a new store and create a skateboarding spot, but it's not enough, and there's more to New York's street culture than just skateboarding."

"So how do we do it?" Yoshiyuki Ishizuka asked.

"The potential of street culture is huge, but it's not being taken seriously at this time.

It's all right to reach out to some of New York's most famous street 'artists' and take the lead in sponsoring skateboarding competitions, graffiti contests, and even hip-hop competitions in the name of Supreme once the skateboarding rink is built.

However, it is necessary to grasp the scale, although Supreme is the lead party, but it is only responsible for sponsorship, leaving the competition to the 'artists' to run, making the competition look more like an exchange of street culture, and fade away all commercial elements. ”

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Yoshiyuki Ishizuka nodded.

Hanyu Hideki's suggestion is much stronger than the fact that after he originally built the venue, he let everyone spread the word of mouth and slowly helped the venue make a reputation.

And Hanyu Hideki's suggestion has not stopped, just listen to him continue.

"Relying only on the influence of these 'artists' on the streets, even if it can cause a certain repercussion, the final impact will definitely still be in the category of street culture.

If you want to go mainstream, the most important thing is publicity.

Be sure to contact print media and TV stations to interview this "street feast".

With the help of the media, we want to promote street culture and Supreme's presence in other parts of America, and even overseas. ”

Hideki Hanyu knows very well that in this day and age, New York is the bellwether of America's street culture, and America is the bellwether of pop culture around the world.

A little bit of movement in New York, with a bit of media hype, can create a ten-point movement in the rest of America.

If you then exaggerate the movements of America overseas, the impact may reach 100 points.

I don't dare to say it anywhere else, Neon will definitely hug her thighs and call Dad, happily welcoming the cultural invasion of America.

Seeing that Yoshiyuki Ishizuka and Nobuyaki Shiina were thoughtful, Hideki Hanyu asked at the two.

“. C. Did you know? ”

Yoshiyuki Ishizuka shook his head.

Shiina Nobu replied as if he remembered something.

"I've heard people playing songs outside the store mention that it looks like a band."

Hideki Hanyu nodded, "That's right. C. is a band, hip-hop to be exact, and they just had a crossover collaboration with Aerosmith that caused quite a bit of attention in the North American music scene. ”

The mid-to-late eighties were the beginning of America's hip-hop movement into the mainstream.

Rappers who are tired of gangs and realistic themes are beginning to focus on business and leading hip-hop music in the direction of relaxed entertainment.

That's when the . C. Through a crossover collaboration with the Aerosmith band, it has truly entered the mainstream fans' field of vision.

Not only did the combination of rock and hip-hop go all the way, . C also became one of the first trendsetters to define hip-hop fashion.

This was followed by Tone Loc becoming the first hip-hop artist to reach the top 10 on the Billboard chart.

And Young MC became the first Grammy Award-winning rapper.

In the music industry, hip-hop music is moving towards the mainstream, and there is no reason why Supreme should not give it a go.

"Go get in touch. C., and invited them to compose a theme song for the upcoming 'Street Cultural Exchange Competition' that Supreme will be leading.

Remember not to talk about gang culture, the theme revolves around our street cultural exchange, and the song must have Supreme elements in it.

Lyrics such as how you can wear Supreme, we give them money and ask them to play freely.

Then we teamed up with 'street artists' to shoot a music video MTV, which showed street culture, but more importantly, Supreme's sponsored clothing, and our store, had to be eye-catching! ”

Hideki Hanyu said a lot of specific plans in one breath.

Yoshiyuki Ishizuka and Nobuyori Shiina need to digest it for a while.

After a while, Ishizuka Yoshiyuki said in an embarrassed tone.

"It's okay to take the lead in holding a competition or something, but then contact the media to publicize, even overseas publicity, and sponsorship of hip-hop bands, we have no resources or funds."

Hanyu Hideki said angrily, "I'm here in person, what money are you worried about, as for resources, I will help you contact Elf Communication and Cloud Entertainment overseas."

In the case of America, Supreme wants to expand further, and it is time to formalize and corporate. Ishizuka-san should hire a local person in charge who is familiar with Americarica marketing as soon as possible. ”

Hanyu Hideki said, looking at Shiina again.

"You will definitely be the creative leader of Supreme in the future, and once the scale of Supreme expands, you alone will not be able to guarantee the product design requirements of Supreme, so you must form a design team of Supreme."

"But the orthodox designer ......," Shiina Shin was about to say and stopped.

He himself is a creative person when it comes to design, and he knows that it is difficult for ordinary designers to adapt to the style of Supreme.

Hideki Hanyu explains, "You don't have to be a professional designer, Supreme can work with anyone. ”

Hideki Hanyu said, pointing to the gangster-like "artists" outside the door.

"Even they can, as long as you feel that there is merit, you can adopt their designs and share some of the benefits."

That is, Supreme's fame is still too small now, otherwise he would directly suggest co-branding with popular celebrities.

If you can hug Michael Jackson's thick legs now, Supreme is guaranteed to soar overnight.

Of course, moving too fast isn't a good thing for Supreme.

In Hanyu's plan, Supreme started as a trendy brand, and later it was completely possible to learn from other brands, and extend the logo to other fields by changing the color.

For example, if you change the LOGO to black, you can call it [Supreme· Sport (S&S)], and then co-brand with sports stars, or sponsor sports events or something.

Anyway, with him as the boss, it is not easy to find some sports superstars who have not yet made a career.

Of course, this is what the brand should think about after it grows bigger.

Now it's better to follow his advice and slowly spread the fame first.

At least when it comes to trendy brands, Supreme has gone ahead of everyone.

However, Hideki Hanyu can also have a hunch that the Supreme of this time and space will definitely not be the Supreme of the previous life.

It is destined to gradually go mainstream, and then be spurned by those "street artists".

But he didn't care.

If he had to choose between "niche" and "commercial", he would definitely choose the latter.

And with the money, Supreme's brand image is not yet a matter of publicity.

There are a lot of brain-dead fans, and he doesn't need to do anything, so naturally someone will help explain and maintain.

Next, Hideki Hanyu communicated with the two again.

When it was time for lunch, the two also treated Hideki Hanyu to one of New York SOHO's signature pastrami sandwiches.

When it was time to say goodbye, Hideki Hanyu said to the two.

"Next, I will arrange someone to help you reform Supreme corporatically, and then inject the necessary funds in the future."

Speaking of which, Hideki Hanyu also gave the two a promise.

"After the corporatization of Supreme, I will formulate corresponding equity awards for you according to the development of the enterprise, so please work hard, you will not only be able to lead the development of the world trend in the future, but also be the owner of Supreme like me."

Saying goodbye to Shiina Nobutari and Ishizuka Yoshiyuki, who were excited from the inside out because they were beaten by him, Hideki Hanyu left.

Throughout the afternoon, Hideki Hanyu took Monica Bellucci and played around New York like a couple.

Leaving New York SOHO, they headed to Little Italy and then Chinatown to taste the specialties.

Then follow the Brooklyn Bridge across the East River in New York to Dumbo.

By the way, I took a look at the filming location of "Once Upon a Time in America", which was released just two years ago.

The rare world of two people made Monica Bellucci very happy.

After returning to the St. Regis Hotel, he took the initiative to give benefits to the scumbag.

While tasting the small tree, "Ball Flower" took the initiative to ask, "Regarding the corporate reorganization of that clothing store, do you need me to help the boss keep an eye on it?" ”

Hanyu Hideki looked at Monica Bellucci, who was kneeling in front of him, in her early twenties, and was at the peak of her appearance, and touched the other party's hair with satisfaction.

"No, I'm going to arrange for someone who wants angel investment to come and deal with it, and you know that person."

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, "Ball Flower" immediately thought of who it was, "Is it Dante Kane?" ”

"That's right." Hideki Hanyu said.

Monica Bellucci snorted dissatisfiedly, "I felt that he was too ambitious at the beginning, but it turned out that he was just asked to help the boss, and let him mix with Hope Angel Investment." ”

Hideki Hanyu saw from investing in Starbucks founder Howard Schultz that Dante Kane was an ambitious man.

However, while the other party has ambitions, he also does not lack ability.

Therefore, he arranged for the other party to go to Hope Angel Investment.

That kind of place, the most suitable for that kind of person.

However, at this time, he didn't bother to answer "Ball Flower", and while the other party was dissatisfied with Dante Kane, he was a little angry with the little tree, which made it difficult for Hanyu Hideki to be distracted.

After a while, he calmed down and said, "It's just an outsider, why care, if you want, I can also arrange for you to hope angel investment and continue to be his boss." ”

"Really?" Monica Bellucci asked delightfully.

She has no interest in investing in angel hope.

What she really cares about is that Hideki Hanyu says that Dante Kane is an outsider.

Doesn't that mean that she is the "insider" of Hanyu Hideki.

"Of course, who made me like you so much."

Hideki Hanyu felt that the heat of the "ball flower" was almost over, and it was time to get to the point, so he picked up the pair and walked towards the bedroom of the suite.

After all, if you delay a little longer, the floor where Monica Bellucci is kneeling will be wet, so it's better not to add more work to the hotel service staff.

After some upheaval, it became dark outside.

"Ball Flower" fell asleep contentedly, but Hideki Hanyu was still not idle.

The Australian chick in the downstairs suite returned to the hotel after work and sent him a pager message very intimately.

The scumbag had to wash and change his clothes and move to the suite downstairs.

Fight with the Australian chick who just hooked up again.

Due to Hideki Hanyu's behavior of sneaking away last night, the Australian chick behaved very heroically today, vowing not to squeeze the scumbag dry and not give up, so that the scumbag was powerless to slip away.

How could Nicole Kidman know that the scumbag came down to find her after leveling the upper "ball flower" today.

If you don't go, you won't go, just let the Australian white cow see his awesomeness.

Because of this, the voice of the Australian chick shouting to the sky.

It stayed in the room until the wee hours of the morning.

……

In the days that followed.

Hideki Hanyu goes upstairs and downstairs, going back and forth non-stop, and life is fulfilling.

The two beauties also know that they exist with each other.

Although there was no direct meeting, the "fighting method" in the air did not stop.

The Australian chick changed her tricks and passed back the crew's costumes for the scumbag to appreciate.

And "Ball Flower" relies on its own advantages, which also makes the scumbag want to stop.

Fortunately, while the scumbag enjoyed it, he didn't forget to get down to business.

On August 15, Dante Kane arrived in New York to inject capital into Supreme in the name of Hope Angel Investment and help Yoshiyuki Ishizuka complete the corporate restructuring.

With the help of the resources of Hope Angel Investment, he helped Supreme find a marketing manager who was familiar with the North American media industry, and personally assisted Yoshiyuki Ishizuka in managing Supreme.

On the same day, Traders Industries made its first response to the $50 million purchase price given to Marvel Comics by Elf Entertainment.

"Sorry, New World Pictures is out more."

Faced with this answer, Monica Bellucci asked, "Can you know how much New World Pictures is bidding?" ”

As a result, the contact officer of Cadams Industrial said, "This is a trade secret and we cannot answer." ”

When Monica Bellucci told the news to Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu instantly understood that Carduns Industrial wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that Genie Entertainment and New World Pictures would raise the price frantically without knowing the details.

But how could Hideki Hanyu let the small abacus of the Adams Industrial Company succeed.

He immediately instructed Monica Bellucci.

"Let's add another two million dollars, regardless of how Carduns Industries responds, and immediately contact New World Pictures, as long as they are not stupid, they should know what to do."

"Yes."

Monica Bellucci immediately did as Hanyu told him.

And the one who reported the good news first than Monica Bellucci was Fred Webb.

August 18.

After many times of communication with Stan Lee and competition with Constantine Films, Cloud Pictures finally won the copyright of "Fantastic Four".

The price paid is a $700,000 licensing fee and a 19% share clause.

Stan Lee took advantage of the weakness of Cloud Pictures not wanting to lose the film copyright, and ruthlessly slaughtered Cloud Pictures.

Seeing that the acquisition of the entire Marvel Comics is about to come to fruition.

But before the dust settles on the acquisition, Hideki Hanyu has to compromise with Stan Lee.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, a film copyright is just a license, and there is nothing at all when it is licensed.

In recent years, Marvel has not been less authorized, and it is normal for copyrights to be sold back and forth.

If it weren't for Hideki Hanyu personally ordering it, even Fred Webb, who negotiated it himself, wouldn't have cared very much.

But others don't know, but Hideki Hanyu knows it very well.

The adaptation copyright that is now casually licensed will cause much trouble to Marvel Studios in the future when the film technology matures.

Because of this, Hanyu Hideki has become more and more dissatisfied with Stan Lee, who has been obstructing the sale of the copyright, and the price has been raised on both sides.

On August 19, Monica Bellucci led the acquisition team and met for the first time after contacting someone from New World Pictures.

Both sides have shown an attitude of inevitability.

But at the same time, they also said that the Traders Industrial Company could not be allowed to play the two sides like monkeys.

It's okay to let them compete, and it's okay to use them to raise prices.

But the offer is open and the competition is transparent, which is the most basic bottom line.

Therefore, after determining this, the two sides put pressure on Cadence Industries together.

said that the acquisition could not be delayed, and the three parties had better agree on a time to completely determine the final ownership of Marvel Comics.

For the acquisition of Marvel Comics, after such a long negotiation, other conditions have been determined.

The only thing to consider these days is price.

With the offer exceeding $50 million, Stan Lee's influence over the Adams Industries began to become dispensable.

After all, compared to bundles of dollar bills, whether Marvel's comics can be turned into movies, Cadaunts Industries doesn't care at all.

Under pressure from Genie Entertainment and New World Pictures, Cadems Industries finally relented and announced a tripartite meeting on August 22.

As one of the most influential comic book companies in America, Marvel Comics has been rumored about its acquisition and has been highly sought after by the media.

At the beginning, Elf Entertainment took the initiative to go out, and the news of Cadans Industry hooking up with it appeared on the news a lot.

Later, New World Pictures got involved, and the pursuit of one person became two people "jealous", and the interest of the media became even stronger.

Now, when Cadaunts Industrial announced that it would hold a tripartite meeting on the 22nd.

Everyone knows that this is the last chance to make a offer.

After this day, Marvel Comics will have a new owner.

In an instant, there were all kinds of speculations in media reports about who Marvel Comics would be.

On August 21, Michael Katz, CEO of Genie Entertainment (America), led a team to New York.

He will be in charge of this final meeting.

As soon as he got off the plane, Michael Katz was besieged by media reporters.

In an interview with reporters, Michael Katz said with confidence.

"Marvel Comics will definitely join the Elf Entertainment family, and in my opinion, there is no company that is more suitable for Marvel Comics than Elf Entertainment."

A reporter asked, "Mr. Michael, why are you so sure?" ”

"Before I came to New York, my little nephew, who was very fond of Captain America, asked me if if Genie Entertainment bought Marvel, would it mean that he would be able to operate Captain America on the PlayStation console to defeat the bad guys in the comics.

I told my nephew, yes!

I believe that every comic book fan who loves Marvel heroes can't refuse to fight side by side with their favorite heroes in the virtual game world!

No game company on the planet will do a better job than us in this matter, because Genie Entertainment is the best!

Elf Entertainment has made a huge plan for Marvel heroes to board major game platforms.

The combination of Genie Entertainment and Marvel will be the perfect answer. ”

Michael Katz's confident speech seemed to be sounding the clarion call for the final battle of the acquisition.

Next, when he arrives at the St. Regis Hotel, he meets Hideki Hanyu.

Only one instruction was given.

That is, "Succeed, don't fail." ”

Friday, August 22.

Elf Entertainment and New World Pictures arrived at 417 Fifth Avenue at almost the same time, the headquarters of Marvel Comics.

And it has long been surrounded by journalists from different media outlets.

In the face of reporters' questions, Genie Entertainment, represented by Monica Bellucci, accepted a simple interview with the media under the flickering of the spotlight and expressed her confidence in the meeting.

Representatives of New World Pictures also expressed confidence.

However, because of the difference in the appearance of the spokespersons of the two sides, most of the media reporters went to interview Monica Bellucci.

In fact, some reporters are no strangers to the beauty of Monica Bellucci.

After all, before Michael Katz arrived, Genie Entertainment's acquisition team had been in charge of Monica Bellucci.

Monica Bellucci has attracted media attention and interviews because of her beauty.

Of course, everyone's attitude towards Monica Bellucci is still very respectful.

After all, they are not Hollywood stars.

Monica Bellucci's external title at this time is the head of the secretariat of Genie Entertainment, the spokesperson of the company, and the deputy director of public relations.

However, the reporter also understands that their likes and dislikes, as well as Monica Bellucci's beauty, will not affect the final outcome of this meeting.

Now all they have to do is wait quietly for the results to be announced.

At the same time, Hideki Hanyu, as the real initiator and controller of this acquisition, did not look nervous and worried at all.

He was playing in the small pool of the St. Regis suite, playing with Nicole Kidman.

The preparatory work for "Working Girl" has been completed.

Tomorrow, Sigourney Weaver, the actor of the second female lead, will arrive in New York, and the filming of the 24th movie will officially begin.

Therefore, Nicole Kidman has been on temporary vacation for the past two days, and there is enough time to spend with the scumbag.

In the pool, young men and women just play in the water at first.

But as I played, the water began to sound rhythmically.

Immediately after the battlefield, he moved to the bedroom.

Taking advantage of the last time before the start of filming, the Australian chick didn't want to let go of Hanyu Hideki for a moment.

And the scumbag is a person who is not afraid of challenges.

As the saying goes, there is a battle, and every battle must be won.

After a chaotic battle, the little white girl who was killed lost her armor and wailed.

After lunch, the Australian chick took the initiative to turn on the TV to see the news about the acquisition of Marvel Comics.

She asked Hideki Hanyu with some curiosity, "Aren't you worried that the acquisition will fail?" ”

"Don't worry." Hanyu Hideki said with a big grin.

Just kidding, in the absence of other conditions.

Now Caddam Industries has made it clear that whoever pays more money from Elf Entertainment and New World Pictures will be sold to whomever Marvel Comics will sell to.

Compared with financial resources, New World Pictures' liquidity multiplied by ten is not as much as that of Elf Entertainment.

When it comes to determination, Hideki Hanyu doesn't believe that New World Pictures can be more determined than him.

Before Michael Katz went, he had already said that no matter what it takes, just win and don't lose.

Even if New World Pictures really offered a price that Michael Katz would not dare to call the shots, there was a phone in the hotel room, and Michael Katz could contact him at any time.

Do you really think that he didn't leave the hotel today to fool around with an Australian chick?

It's not about being in touch with Michael Katz at all times.

Nicole Kidman wants to know the outcome, and instead of watching TV, she might as well wait for the phone as he does.

As for why he didn't lead the team himself?

Not to mention that he didn't have a position at Elf Entertainment (America).

Let's just say that the media is now full of them, and he doesn't want to be conspicuous now.

Compared to the little limelight at the time of the acquisition.

What he wants more is to keep a low profile.

After all, some time ago, at the gate of the White House in Washington, someone just smashed a neon car.

He even had a backup plan in place to avoid accidents.

That is to announce that Marvel Comics belongs only to America Elf Entertainment and has nothing to do with the main department.

However, judging from Sony Columbia's acquisition of Spider-Man in the future, there should be no problem with this acquisition.

But if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

In case because of his appearance, the neon media is attracted to ask a few inappropriate questions stupidly, then it will be too late for him to cry.

While Hideki Hanyu waited confidently, the time came to half past three in the afternoon.

In the conference room of Marvel Comics, the long three-way meeting has finally come to an end.

After several negotiations and bids, Marvel Comics finally ushered in its new owner.

In a suite at the St. Regis Hotel.

Hideki Hanyu is driving an Australian White Maverick two-ponytail sports car on the sofa in the living room.

As soon as the accelerator stepped on the frequency of one hundred and eighteen, the phone rang.

Hideki Hanyu immediately made a move to the king of Tota, and moved to drive an Australian sports car to the phone.

He first covers the Australian chick's mouth so that the strange sound she makes is not heard by the caller.

Then I picked up the phone.

After a few moments, the phone hung up.

Hideki Hanyu laughed wildly and slammed on the accelerator with excitement!

417 Fifth Avenue.

At the door of Marvel Comics, a spokesperson for Cadam Industries announced to the media.

After more than seven hours of meetings, Cadaunts Industries has helped Marvel choose a new owner, which is Genie Entertainment. Here, we wish Marvel Comics more success and more ...... under the guidance of Genie Entertainment."

Reporters were not at all interested in the rhetoric of a spokesman for the company Traders Industries, and they now only wanted to know what the price of the acquisition would be.

In an instant, a pile of microphones was handed to the spokesperson of the Adams Industrial Company, and they asked in unison.

"What is the purchase price?"

Faced with this question, the spokesperson of Cadams Industries gave this answer, "Sorry, we don't have the right to disclose this number, if you are interested, you can go and interview the new owner of Marvel." ”

After the spokesman finished speaking, he took the initiative to step back and leave.

The reporters stared at the door.

The group walked out, and they were about to interview, but found out that it was the team of New World Pictures.

The media has no interest in the losers and lets them go.

Immediately after, when the hot, good-looking press spokesperson of Elf Entertainment appeared.

The reporters immediately surrounded it.

In the face of so many interviews with reporters, Monica Bellucci first said something with a normal look.

It is nothing more than how the acquisition of Marvel Comics will help Marvel develop, related game development plans, and reassure comic book fans.

It was only at the end that Monica Bellucci revealed the price of the acquisition.

Six million dollars.

Compared with another time and space, the price of New World Pictures' acquisition of Marvel Comics is a full $20 million higher.

But there is no way, in the case of rival competition, the price is bound to rise.

But no matter how much money was spent, a fact has already happened.

Marvel Comics changes hands!

……

On August 23, the incident was reported by numerous media outlets in América.

The New York Times said.

Forty-seven-year-old Marvel Comics has ushered in its new owner, and with the help of video game company Genie Entertainment, it is still too early to say whether Marvel Comics will be able to regain its glory with the help of video games, a new channel.

Compared to the serious review of the New York Times.

The New York Sun, whose reporting style likes sensationalism, interprets the acquisition from a different angle.

That is the acquisition competition between New World Pictures and Genie Entertainment, compiling a wonderful behind-the-scenes story.

The New York Sun's screenwriting department wrote a story that made readers feel that this was not a commercial acquisition at all, but a war without gunpowder.

The Wall Street Journal, which attaches great importance to financial news, paid more attention to what kind of gains Genie Entertainment would have on the game business map after winning Marvel Comics in the news report of this acquisition.

And what kind of impact will it have on America's game market?

They even accompanied it with an interesting news photo.

That is the Mario Brothers, the representative game characters of Elf Entertainment, throwing red and white Poké Balls at a group of Marvel characters.

As if to say, Genie Entertainment captured the superheroes of Marvel Comics.

Of course, there are also some media outlets that are repeating the same old tune again.

said that this is the erosion of America by Neon Capital behind Genie Entertainment.

But by this time, the trend has been made.

In addition, the Federal Trade Commission did not halt the acquisition.

These little voices seem meaningless.

And just when the outside world was hotly discussing Marvel's change of ownership, the management team of Elf Entertainment officially signed an acquisition contract for Marvel with Cadaunts Industrial Company the next day.

After the departure of the people of Caddam Industries, Michael Katz held a Marvel Comics executive memories.

Everyone understands that this is the time for the new owner to announce the next development plan.

Most people at Marvel Comics are not opposed to being acquired by Genie Entertainment.

After all, with Stan Lee's film adaptation hitting a wall again and again and the North American comic book market continuing to slump, using video games to help Marvel generate revenue seems like a good choice.

Therefore, when the high-level executives went to the conference room, they were still very happy on the surface.

But with Michael Katz announcing the first decision, everyone couldn't laugh.

"I declare that from now on, all comic book story creation at Marvel Comics must be in line with the decisions of Genie Entertainment's game creative department."

In later generations, in order to develop movies, Marvel once set up a much-criticized "creative committee" to control the story development of comics and movies.

In fact, after the acquisition of Marvel by Caddam Industries, a similar department appeared in Marvel, but with a different name.

Now it can be called the "Manga Story Creative Department".

So as soon as Michael Katz said this, someone immediately asked, "Does the story idea of the creative department also need to be coordinated?" ”

Michael Katz, who had a kind face at the time of yesterday's acquisition, had a serious expression at this time, and he emphasized.

"I'm talking about all! Including the decision of the creative department, Genie Entertainment will arrange a special person to lead the department. ”

As soon as Michael Katz said this, it means that the creation of Marvel Comics in the future must revolve around game development and must cooperate with the command of Genie Entertainment.

This kind of creative restriction immediately caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

But for the time being, Marvel's soul Stan Lee did not express an opinion.

Because someone had already communicated with him before.

If you want to succeed in a video game, the backstory must be unified, otherwise the chaotic story background can easily affect the production of the game.

Stan Lee understands this.

After all, looking at the previous practice of Elf Entertainment, whether it is "Super Mario Bros., or Kung Fu", or "Pokémon", there are mature and unified comic stories to create a background world and assist players to improve the sense of immersion in the game.

However, Michael Katz's next words made Stan Lee completely unable to sit still.

"One more thing, from now on, Marvel Comics will close its office in Hollywood and suspend all licensing of film and television adaptations."

"Nope! That's not what you promised! ”

Unable to license the film, his own interests were damaged, which made Stan Lee unbearable.

Michael Katz did not answer Stan Lee's words, but spoke in an indifferent voice.

"Anyone who is dissatisfied with my two decisions can go to the finance now, and I promise that I will not owe a penny in compensation."
