527 Welcome to Marvel
More than ten hours later, Lao Mei landed.
Then go straight to the top.
No other nonsense, get to work first.
This time, the special effects production of "Iron Man" was relatively smooth because of the buff blessing.
Of course, there are some things that need to be changed, but that's okay, it's just a minor problem.
Overall, it is expected to be completely completed in about 4 months, that is, in June.
It's not a big problem to catch up with the summer release, and it will be released in the Christmas file no matter how bad it is.
Now Lu Ping'an also doesn't have to think too much about the schedule in Laomei.
"Directed by Lu Ping'an" is the signboard, and the commercial value is very stable.
Robert Downey Jr. is also very dedicated, it is said that he has not taken on any other plays since the finale, and is always on call at home, and has been on call for several months.
With this attitude, Lu Ping'an decided to give some rewards.
Go back and let him come to China to endorse Burger Emperor.
Everything is fine with Iron Man, and so are the rest of the projects.
It's March, and it's another month of the year of horror.
Lu Ping'an's "Chainsaw" has reached its sixth part.
"The Human Eradication Plan" is also in its second part.
and "Insidious 2" is finally going to be released.
After Wen Ziren finished filming "Insidious 2", he will start preparing for his new film "The Conjuring" series.
In general, in terms of low-budget horror films, the pinnacle is still the head company.
This will also bring great help to the road to listing at the top.
Of course, overall, the market value of the peak is also numerous, and Watts said that when it went public, it was 3 billion US dollars, which is not comparable to the Big Six.
If there are no blockbuster movies in the future, the increase will be limited.
Of course, Lu Ping'an knew what he meant, and he just said, "Go to a place with me in a few days." ”
"Why are you going?"
"Sign a contract."
"What contract?"
"I'll know when the time comes, I can only tell you that after this contract is signed, in the future, with this contract alone, even if other projects at the peak are all pounced, the market value will not be less than 10 billion US dollars!"
"Really?"
"To bet or not?"
"Again!"
Watts laughed and didn't ask any more, he knew that Lu Ping'an had a plan.
Then we moved on to the project.
At present, the summit will probably be listed in the second half of the year, and after the listing, in addition to the arrangement of commercial films, there will also be arrangements for award-winning films.
And the film that came out is also famous, that is the "Bomb Disposal Unit" that defeated "Avatar" in the original time and space.
The film was already filmed in 07, and it will be released this summer and hit next year's Oscars.
Of course, Watts doesn't have a lot of confidence in the film, because now Hollywood already knows that Cameron's new movie is coming, and it is said that the pen is very good.
Lu Ping'an didn't say much about this, just let Watts do a good budget.
Two days later, Lu Ping'an temporarily ended the production of "Iron Man", and then came to Marvel again with Xiang Guoqiang.
This time, the contract was officially signed.
Last time, Marvel, Disney and Lu Ping'an talked about the acquisition.
Now the plan has been settled.
Disney will use $3 billion in cash to acquire 85% of Marvel's shares, that is, a market value of 3.5 billion, which is 40% higher than the market value of 2.5 billion discussed by Lu Ping'an at that time.
At the same time, Lu Ping'an's shares and the original VAM contract with Marvel will not be affected.
At that time, it can be diluted according to the total acquisition plan.
At this point, Disney fully demonstrates their style.
They think it's a matter of Lu Ping An and Marvel.
All they have to do is to give Marvel and Lu Ping'an enough room to play, and not to intervene much.
If Lu Ping'an wins the bet, then everyone will be happy.
Of course, Marvel has also made more detailed additions to the VAM agreement.
In the future, the box office of "Iron Man" will reach 800 million, and Lu Ping'an will be able to obtain 20% of the shares.
For every 100 million less, it will be 5% less, and if it is less than 500 million at the box office, then there is no need to talk about increasing shares, which is regarded as a failure of the bet.
The VAM agreement will not affect Lu Ping'an's right to produce the Iron Man trilogy, because the copyright is now in his hands.
It's just that if the box office of "Iron Man 1" is really poor, then the right to speak will of course be affected when making movies in the future.
This is normal, Lu Ping'an said he understood.
On the same day, the three parties signed a contract.
In this wave, Lu Ping'an directly received 140% of the benefits from Marvel's early investment.
It's just that this wave of gains is dead.
In the future, the market value of Marvel Film and Television will skyrocket, but the company will not be listed, and it is not easy for Lu Ping'an to cash out the shares in his hands.
But there is also a way to do this, this is the contract that Lu Ping'an and Watts said before.
On the afternoon of the next day, Lu Ping'an signed the investment agreement on behalf of Dingfeng, Xingchen and Marvel Film and Television.
The agreement states that in the future, Marvel's movies, regardless of the prospects, Summit and Xingchen will invest, with a total investment amount of not less than 5%, and will not take the initiative to withdraw capital, in addition, Summit and Xingchen will permanently prepare an interest-free loan of $200 million to Marvel Studios for film production.
Among them, the investment amount and loan, Xingchen and Dingfeng are half of each person.
This is the same as advertising long-term sponsorship agreements, there are many similar contracts for Hollywood companies, and such contracts do have legal benefits and are in line with the rules of the game.
It's just that generally no one really plays like that.
Just as advertisers sponsor NBA rookies and rarely use lifetime contracts.
Today's Marvel Studios is a rookie player, and it seems that he has a bright future, but no one knows what the future holds.
Lu Ping'an plays like this, to put it mildly, he has a sick brain, and there is too much money in his pocket and there is nowhere to spend it.
To put it nicely, it is natural that the new shareholder Lu Ping'an has unimaginable confidence in Marvel Studios.
That's a good thing, but faith can't be eaten.
So in the face of this 5% investment insurance and $200 million interest-free loan.
Marvel and Disney laughed directly and said to Lu Ping'an: Welcome to join Marvel, I hope you won't need it in the future.
Lu Ping'an was also very happy.
With this paper agreement, don't look at it less, only 5%, but the future market value of Summit and Xingchen has a huge guarantee.
Marvel's market value has risen, and its own company's stock price has risen accordingly.
Of course, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but think that if he crossed five or six years earlier. Forget it, let's look to the future.
After signing the contract, the three companies held a small cocktail party.
The next day, Disney's acquisition of Marvel was also reported.
Among them, the details of the transaction were not disclosed too much, but it was officially announced that Lu Ping An would be the person in charge of the Iron Man project.
After the news came out, Marvel fans were excited again.
Marvel's "Captain America" and "The Incredible Hulk" hit the streets, and Marvel fans have accumulated too many regrets in their hearts.
It wasn't until Lu Ping'an said that he wanted to shoot "Iron Man" that he regained his confidence.
Now that Disney has acquired Marvel, Lu Ping'an has officially joined again.
Marvel, it's saved!
The outside world was disturbed, and Lu Ping'an continued to do his own thing.
Two days later, Lu Ping'an didn't pay much attention, he was going back to China.
Before takeoff, Guorong called.
"He's, do you want to see my child?" (End of chapter)
