Chapter 365: Superheroes? It's just a money-making tool

After a few days of operation, Fang Yu took a lot of shares of Marvel shareholders who were ready to run away, and at the same time, he also had a position in Marvel Studios - chief director.

It's not that simple.

If it weren't for the horror films he collaborated with Wen Ziren and the Oscar trophy for Best Adapted Screenplay at home, even a company that was about to be acquired would not have found a person whose main business was an actor to guide.

Fang Yu is a big official, so big that he can shoot how he wants.

This is also his own step-by-step exploits in Hollywood, which allowed him to obtain such a big right.

Except for "The Mummy: The Tomb of the Three Dragon Emperors", which has not yet been released worldwide, Fang Yu's film can be called a small-budget miracle in the Hollywood market.

Even "I Am Legend", which seems to have the largest investment in the scene, actually relied on the filming of the scene of Bai Prostitute Hua Na Pictures and Bai Prostitute Wellsmith's movie of the same name, looking at the cost details of the movie that Fang Yu participated in, you can know that the movie made by this guy is not only making money, but also spending less money.

Everyone likes Xiao Boda, and Marvel, which has no money, also needs Fang Yu's advantage.

In addition to the position, Fang Yu also signed a contract with liquidated damages of up to $4 billion!

You know, Marvel's current market price is only more than $4 billion, and when the Marvel board saw this contract, they thought Stephen Fang was joking, because how could they pay such a large sum of money in order to kick him away?

But Fang Yu insisted on this, and the Marvel executives could only sign in turn with a smile.

The content of this contract is also very strange to say, so strange that the top management can only regard Stephen Fang's actions as a love for Marvel Comics because it is too puzzling.

The contents of the contract are as follows.

In the future, Fang Yu has the right to participate in the investment of all Marvel Studios' films, and the participation is at least uncertain, and the maximum can reach one-third of the total cost of the film!

One-third of the production cost of a Hollywood movie is at least tens of millions of dollars, and the total cost is likely to reach the level of nearly 100 million US dollars.

Even if Iron Man has a good box office, Marvel executives don't think that the company's movies can reach the level where every film can complete the profit, after all, Marvel lost an astronomical amount of money because of movies in the previous decades.

This is equivalent to the gambler has lost only the underwear, with the mortgage of the underwear money for a hand of cards, starting cards, the face is good, but not necessarily this card can win, at this time a person came over, not only for the gambler to press an extra hand, but also to him, the next each hand, he will give him more pressure points.

This gambler has already lost hemp, and he has long lost his self-confidence, and then looking at the fortune boy next to him, it is strange to be able to guess the psychology of the other party.

Originally, it was a problem to make a movie and find investment, someone always wanted to send money to invest, and it was too late for Marvel executives to be happy, so how could they refuse Fang Yu?

No matter how the next movie makes money, Marvel will put the credit on the chief director Stephen Fang, and he can't imagine that even without Fang Yu's participation, Marvel Studios will complete a desperate comeback in the next ten years.

Fang Yu, this is another big leak.

A few days later, Fang Yu's advice as the chief guide was issued to various departments of Marvel Studios, and the owner of the chief seat in the conference room where Fang Yu went for the first time that day was also replaced by himself.

"Iron Man II, Thor I, Captain America I, these three films, I hope to do it at the same time."

"At the same time?" A high-level member of the film and television department was a little surprised to shoot three films at the same time. What a huge investment it takes to make a movie! Shoot three at the same time. Isn't this the life of the company!

Whether you make money or not is another matter, whether you can spend so much money to make a movie is also a big question!

Fang Yu looked at this bald white man and smiled, how did he know that these three films had all made a profit? If these films are filmed, they will make money, and fools will not shoot them.

"The director, the actors, the screenwriter, it's all up to me." Fang Yu looked at everyone's stunned faces, snorted coldly and continued.

"Don't worry about funding, Marvel Studios will contribute some money, and Paramount will contribute some money." Fang Yu paused when he said this, "I myself will also fund, and the three films are about 300 million US dollars?" Details may vary. ”

"Three! $300 million? ”

A group of workers in the audience are numb! Is this the courage of Stephen Fang? Spending $300 million on a film for a company that is about to be acquired?

Everyone in this room was shocked by Fang Yu, but they didn't know that if Fang Yu had enough money to buy Marvel, he would definitely pay four billion dollars to this company like Dishi Mud, not to mention so many IP copyrights, the revenue of the movie alone is a lot of money.

Iron Man II, Thor I, Captain America I, all three films have made a profit, and after these three films are filmed, Avengers One is the most profitable man.

"Avengers One", the production cost cost more than 200 million US dollars, and as a result, the total global box office reached an astonishing more than 1.5 billion US dollars. Even according to the most simplified calculation method, using three times the cost to make a profit, this film has made a lot of money for the investor.

Shoot the Avengers series well, and the money will be sent into your pocket like a strong wind.

At this point, Marvel's top management still can't see why Fang Yu is so concerned, if he had invested money at the beginning, at the level of a white man's chicken thief, he might dump Fang Yu and make a fortune himself, but after Fang Yu became a shareholder, he became a grasshopper in the same boat, and then Fang Yu was concerned and signed a sky-high contract, they would only think that Fang Yu was afraid that his shares would become less and less valuable, and they couldn't think of deeper and farther possibilities.

Four billion dollars of breach of contract, even if these people react at that time and want to kick out the "vampire" Fang Yu in every profitable work, they have to be reluctant to accept this sky-high liquidated damages

What? Why didn't the DC side sign a contract of the same size?

That's because there are only a few DC movies that make money, and most of them don't make money, so it doesn't make much difference whether you sign or not

With the help of the golden sign of "Stephen Fang", the Marvel executives, who were half-dead and ready to accept the acquisition of Dishmud, gritted their teeth again and agreed to the establishment of the three films.

To borrow the words of Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige, "Mr. Stephen has paid for Marvel movies himself!" Are you shareholders still thinking about selling the company? Can't you wait longer? ”

The shareholders also don't want to cut the meat and sell it cheaply, and when it comes to this, they can only wait for a miracle to happen.

They didn't expect that with Fang Yu's participation, miracles would really be staged frequently!

Of course, that's all for later, no matter how fast Iron Man II is filmed, it will be released a year before it can be released.

The initiator of the project, Fang Yu, took a leave of absence and went to Bali, the capital of the fastest country to surrender, to meet Chenglong and start the filming journey of "Zodiac".

It's just a few dozen monthly passes that are enough for a thousand votes, these days the eyes and brain of the little cola are not very comfortable, the update is a little collapsed, and when the body is better, there will be more, and the monthly pass is also broken, it is better to pinch the little coke, and the mi~
