Iron Man is indeed a soul figure, at least most fans of the original time and space think so.

However, this is not very important for the time being, and the important thing is the practical problem.

Now that Marvel is in a bad situation, if you want to succeed in buying shares, of course, you have to raise your own value, and Kevin Feige also understands what Lu Ping'an means.

Or rather, he didn't have a choice.

The original soul Captain America is now pounced and has not been able to lead the Marvel Universe to a successful march towards the movie.

If you want to continue shooting, the best thing to do is to change it.

In the end, whoever is the most popular and has the best box office is the soul.

It's a pity that Marvel had enough time to slowly try and make mistakes.

But now, with the financial crisis, there is not much choice, and we can only see if the next release of "The Incredible Hulk" can take a lead.

Of course, Kevin Feige was also quite surprised by Lu Ping'an's analysis.

It is not surprising that Lu Ping'an saw through his own grand strategy at a glance.

What interested him was that Lu Ping'an seemed to have a more detailed plan in mind.

He remembered what he had heard while chatting with Warners not long ago.

said that when "Batman 1" did not reach Lu Ping'an, he already had a complete trilogy plan.

Therefore, Marvel also feels that for "Iron Man", he must also have a trilogy plan.

It's just that now it seems that Lu Ping'an's plan is far bigger than imagined.

I just don't know which one will be better than my own.

Thinking back, Kevin Feige asked, "Okay, then, Lu, when are you going to shoot Iron Man?" ”

Lu Ping'an smiled slightly: "Let's talk about what you think of my proposed shareholding plan, don't worry, speak slowly, I have plenty of time."

。。。。。。。

In the original time and space 09, Marvel was acquired by Disney.

At that time, the purchase price was about $4 billion.

At that time, Marvel had successfully made "Iron Man 1".

is also because of the big profit of this movie, which made up for the loss of another Marvel movie "The Incredible Hulk" in the same year.

And now, "Captain America 1" loses money, and after a while, "The Incredible Hulk" loses again.

If you really want to buy Marvel wholly, it is estimated that it will not take 3.5 billion, or even 2.5 billion, to win it, after all, it doesn't cost too much money to acquire a company on the verge of bankruptcy.

It's just that Lu Ping'an doesn't have the idea of a wholly-owned acquisition.

There is no problem with funding, the main thing is that Disney is already in contact with Marvel.

Lu Ping'an can't compare with Disney.

After the acquisition of Marvel, Disney implemented a stocking policy, and Marvel can do whatever it wants, as long as Marvel can make achievements, money will be given, technology will be supported, and there will be no too many restrictions and questions, and global distribution and marketing channels are even more strongly supported.

So Marvel, which has enough funds and freedom, successfully launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, and 2012's "The Avengers" was a blockbuster, letting the world know about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Later, Marvel also put forward more suitable development requirements to Disney, for example, the Marvel Cinematic Universe must need Spider-Man to participate, but Spider-Man is in the hands of Sony, and Sony refuses to sell Spider-Man back to Marvel.

When Disney heard this, he decided to help Marvel get ahead, so he talked to Sony and found that Sony is really a hard bone, but who is Disney, people in the United States are the big guys among the big guys, the face is big, not to mention the ability, the means that can be used to deal with companies like Sony are far from being comparable to Lu Ping'an, and finally successfully helped Marvel win the lease of Spider-Man.

With Disney's help, Marvel successfully added Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Later, Marvel proved to Disney and the world that Spider-Man's addition was very correct, and Avengers 4 even successfully topped the box office in global film history.

If it is changed to Lu Ping'an, then of course don't think about it.

So it's not something that can be solved with money alone.

Therefore, since Disney has set its sights on Marvel, this window is the best time for Lu Ping'an to become a shareholder.

In terms of specific plans, the negotiations between Lu Ping'an and Marvel lasted for a day.

Back at the residence, Hu Qingquan was also there, and the two chatted about today's harvest.

In the end, it was basically finalized that Lu Ping'an would use cash and the plan of the VAM contract to invest in Marvel several times.

In terms of cash, Lu Ping'an paid $175 million to acquire 7% of the shares to solve Marvel's urgent needs.

In addition, "Iron Man 1" is the target of the bet, if it can be released next year and reach the global box office of 600 million.

Then the life of "Iron Man", and the added value of the film's success, could be worth at least $500 million.

That is, at least about 20% of the shares.

That's 27 percent.

Not counting taking advantage of the fire to rob, Marvel is already down now.

But it's not that it's less, no matter how thin Marvel is, it's bigger than Ma.

So both sides agree on this.

Of course, for Marvel and others, it is not easy for the first part of "Iron Man" to reach 600 million.

Even if Lu Ping'an is a big guide, he may not be able to do it.

In other words, there are few people in this world who can guarantee that the box office of the movie will be so high.

If it is really not reached, then the value of the chips in Lu Ping'an's hand will be greatly reduced, and the final price will not be 500 million, but 200 million, and the box office will be higher than 350 million and the box office will be profitable.

This also limits the cost aspect, and you can't use ultra-high costs as a gimmick.

If people can agree to bet, it depends on your ability after all.

So if "Iron Man" loses money, let alone invest in Marvel and want to eat fart!

Tens of millions of dollars to buy the right to use are also waiting to be smashed in your hands.

Hu Qingquan joked with a smile: "Hollywood is a casino here." ”

"I can't help it, people won't let you buy shares in vain, and if you don't take the initiative, you won't have a chance, Disney is staring at it, it's better to talk to them than Disney who doesn't lack anything."

"So optimistic about Marvel?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

For Lu Ping'an, the box office of 600 million is indeed under great pressure, which is tens of millions higher than the original time and space.

But he is still confident, now that he is a great director, the global market appeal is very strong, and he may not be able to do it.

After it is done, and then wait for Disney to acquire, Lu Ping'an can still retain some of the protected shares and still be the boss of Marvel.

At the same time, the production rights of the "Iron Man Trilogy" can still be retained.

Among them, the concept of the Marvel Universe can also be expanded without restrictions.

The rest of the Marvel movies can also be intervened.

It's a good deal.

"Okay, there's hot milk in the kitchen, drink it and go to bed early, I'll rest first."

Hu Qingquan turned his head and went upstairs.

"Iron Man 1" He is a producer, and he is busy.

Lu Ping'an didn't think about it, drank milk and went upstairs to get ready to sleep.

On the plane early tomorrow morning, he still has to go back to China to deal with some things.

After solving the problem, returning to the United States is to start filming "Iron Man", and then release it next year to win the bet.
