Chapter 364: If you don't pick up hundreds of millions of dollars of leakage when you go out, you can lose money
Before returning to China, Fang Yu went to Marvel headquarters.
Marvel has been waiting for Fang Yu for a long time, the success of Iron Man has only made Marvel return a mouthful of blood, in essence, it still can't change the company's downturn, looking for Fang Yu to call him a cameo role is just a scene, in fact, I want to ask Fang Yu for help, to see if I can seek a medical kit from the genius producer Stephen Fang, and return blood.
In fact, the success of Iron Man only added some chips to Marvel's price increase, and today's Marvel is only glamorous on the surface, and there are several companies behind it that are thinking about acquiring and annexing Marvel, leaving little time for Marvel's top management.
If nothing else, Marvel will be able to hold out for another year, and when Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck come out of the mountain a year later, the acquisition of Marvel will be completed.
Coming to the bottom of the somewhat lonely MARVEL building, which has not yet been officially named Marvel, Fang Yu just stepped on the steps into the building, and the group greeted him.
The rest of the people Fang Yu hadn't seen, but the one in the middle who was wearing light brown sunglasses was recognized by Fang Yu at a glance.
He is the actor of Iron Man and the character who brought Marvel back to life - Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. had a very rough first half of his life, and this Iron Man is not only a work that brought Marvel back to life, but also a movie that resurrected Robert Downey Jr.
Through the character of Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. has become the top in Hollywood, and his worth once topped the Hollywood actor's income rankings.
It's a pity that Robert Downey Jr. was resurrected through Iron Man, but he wanted to get rid of the character of Iron Man, and after filming the endgame, he chose to stop cooperating with Marvel, and Marvel also because of Robert Downey Jr.'s departure, the movie's reputation plummeted, and he couldn't reach half of the original level of the Avengers by all means.
"Hey! Stephen! ”
Robert Downey Jr. lived into the human body of Tony Stark, and his gestures showed a smell of wealth and rival country, and he opened his arms and hugged Fang Yu.
Donnie took off his sunglasses and shook Fang Yu's hand vigorously, "First meeting!" Thank you so much for your promotion of Iron Man in China, thank you! ”
"You played a very good game, and you brought a comic book character I liked to life."
"That's my pleasure! This way, please! ”
Everyone took the elevator upstairs.
After getting out of the elevator, Fang Yu met many classic characters from Marvel Comics along the way.
Now that Iron Man and Hulk have been filmed, Marvel plans to make some money and make the rest of the characters into movies.
Marvel has many well-known IPs and many good comic plots, which are all ready-made materials, and they can be released if they are filmed casually, so why not.
The problem is that they have just found a path that may lead to success, but they are not sure if they will really succeed, if it is like Ang Lee's Hulk, then Marvel can only be bought at a low price.
When he came to the conference room, Fang Yu first saw a very familiar old man.
Stan Lee, a central figure in Marvel Entertainment.
Stan Lee has made cameo appearances in many Marvel movies, and he was able to make cameos because he was the creator of those heroes.
Without this old man, there would be no Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, X-Men, Doctor Strange, and at the same time, there would be no Avengers, and Marvel would have no confidence to fight against DC.
"Hey! Stephen! ”
Sitting next to Stan Lee was Kevin Feige, who had just become the president of Marvel Studios, and when he saw Fang Yu, he directly put down the president's shelf, got up and took the initiative to greet him.
People who have the ability, no matter how rich and powerful they are, will be polite when they see them, not to mention that the current president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has a request for Fang Yu.
"I'm a die-hard fan of yours, and I've seen all of your horror movies! You're a genius! Stephen, I've never seen a Chinese genius like you in Hollywood movie circles! Oh no, the dragon counts as one, you count as the second! ”
"It's overrated." Fang Yu shook hands politely, then sat down, "Let's talk about business." ”
"Wait, Jon Favreau hasn't arrived yet."
Jon Favreau is the director of Iron Man, this name Fang Yu is not very familiar with, compared to this name, Fang Yu knows this person's face better.
This director is also Harpy, Tony Stark's assistant in the Marvel series.
This guy is a genius, and he is also a strong contender for the Best Director of the Wen Ziren Saturn Award, if Wen Ziren fights this Iron Man director Jon Favreau with "Dead Silence", then the Saturn Award for Best Director will definitely not be Wen Ziren.
Fat Harpy - Jon Favreau pushed the door in, and when he saw Fang Yu, he directly and enthusiastically grabbed Fang Yu's hand, "Hey! Stephen! ”
Although Fang Yu is not a director, his identity as a producer and screenwriter is one of the producers and candidates that many new directors consider cooperating.
"Hello."
Seeing that everyone was finally together, President Kevin Feige clapped his hands, "Okay, then let's talk about business." ”
"Stephen, we all know what you're capable of, you said you like Marvel comics." When Kevin Feige said this, Stan Lee smiled at Fang Yu, and Fang Yu nodded in response.
"Well, I really like a few characters in the Avengers, like Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and whatever."
"You really know Marvel!" Kevin Feige nodded in surprise, he thought Fang Yu was polite, but he didn't expect Fang Yu to be the hero's name casually.
"Of course~" Fang Yu spread his hands.
"You know that's the best, we have a lot of film projects in Marvel Studios in the future, I want to implore you here, I want to ask if you have any ideas to participate in the production?"
Fang Yu didn't answer in a hurry, but swept over the faces of everyone present, looking at their facial expressions in turn.
Robert Downey Jr. sat next to Fang Yu, and the first thing Fang Yu saw was his expression.
Donnie's expression was natural, his smile was deep, and he seemed to be looking forward to working with Fang Yu.
Director "Harpy" is also like this, if you want Fang Yu to participate the most, it may be him, and everyone who is a genius producer wants to cooperate.
Stan Lee's expression is also very good, and after knowing that Fang Yu is his comic book fan, his first impression of Fang Yu is very good.
Looking at several unknown high-level executives of Marvel, they all looked expectant, Fang Yu knew that like DC Pictures, these people had hit the bottom, and they immediately ran out of donkey skills, so they wanted their own participation.
After looking at everyone's expressions again, Fang Yu slowly spoke.
"Marvel Studios, I have to take a stake in the production to participate in the production, so that it feels like I'm working for myself, not just a part-time job."
Become a shareholder?
Investing in shares is a little different from acquiring, and at this juncture, investing in Marvel Studios is giving money.
A high-level executive who obviously couldn't sit still and wanted to exchange shares for money was ecstatic and said: "Okay, good! How much do you want! ”
Fang Yu glanced at him lightly, "It depends on your sincerity." ”
