As a tool for Marvel, although the director does not have any benefits in fame, most of the benefits of Marvel movies have been shared by the producers and the leading actors.

But I have to admit that I have earned a lot of money as a tool for Marvel.

And considering that in the next ten years, the environment of Hollywood will be dominated by superhero movies.

Unless, Wu Yuan doesn't plan to make movies in Hollywood in the next ten years and disappears completely, then he doesn't need to think about this.

But if he wants to keep his exposure to the lowest level in Hollywood, superhero movies are something he can't avoid.

And if you have to choose, Marvel is definitely much stronger than DC, and Wu Yuan is not interested in Warner's so-called idea of handing over the DC universe to him and Nolan.

And now Warner also has a new choice, handing over the DC Universe to Zadao.

Wu Yuan just wants to play with the wind.

And the second and third phases of Marvel are quite smooth, he can go to join in the fun and make some milk powder money.

But the premise is that he has to shoot what he is interested in.

"Doctor Strange" is a Marvel Universe IP that he is relatively interested in.

On the one hand, it is because the story of Doctor Strange is relatively independent of the main body of the Marvel Universe, that is, those members of the Avengers.

The relatively independent story does not need to be too involved in the construction of the large Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the independent Doctor Strange story can also give him more room to play.

What's more, under the worldview of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the second and third phases of the movie, only "Doctor Strange" has a slight relationship with Asians.

Doctor Strange's assistant, Wang, is a Chinese.

And the Ancient One Mage is also a man with an Asian face in the comic book setting.

Although I don't know why the movie version was changed to a woman, and I found a typical European face.

But if Wu Yuan takes over this movie, he will definitely find an Asian grandfather first.

Anyway, most of the time in the comics, the image of the ancient mage is that of a gray-haired old man, and his facial features are more Asian.

Although, there is a bit of an Asian stereotype (Dan Feng Eye), but at least from the setting to the comic image, the ancient mages are orthodox Asians.

If Wu Yuan is the director, then he will definitely promote the film in the direction of "realism", and he will not find a European long-legged woman.

Although Tilda Swinton did act very well.

"If I have the chance, I'd love to." Wu Yuan agreed with a smile.

Even if "Doctor Strange" is to be filmed, it will be after 2014, and it will not affect his current work in a short period of time.

"That's it for now, it's a pleasure to work together." Lawne stood up and shook hands with Wu Yuan, and the negotiation was a complete success.

When it comes to negotiations, it is actually more about determining the results that have been negotiated before.

Although it is not the most satisfactory result, whether it is Disney or Wu Yuan, it can still be accepted, and it is not more than their bottom line.

If everything goes well, in July and August next year, Light Times will officially separate from Wu Yuan and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney, which has nothing to do with Wu Yuan.

And he will also take at least more than two billion US dollars in cash to return to China to build the Chinese film industry.

It just so happens that the next few years will also develop rapidly, and it is estimated that the money for expansion and server construction alone will cost hundreds of millions of dollars every year, just to use this money to fill the development of Light and Shadow Express.

At that time, it will not be a dream for Light and Shadow Express to share the world equally with overseas streaming media such as Netflix and Disney+ in Asia.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Although it was regarded as being driven away, the smile on Wu Yuan's face was still bright, and he shook Lawn's hand hard.

"Agreed?"

"Hmm."

Wu Yuan spread his hands, sat on the boss's chair, and groaned, "John, after the contract is reached, you will share the dividends of 50 million US dollars." ”

"At that time, you can also enjoy a happy retirement."

"While you're not too old, take your wife on a trip around the world."

"Crystal and I have always wanted to travel around the world, but we didn't have the time."

John smiled and agreed, "You're right, it's time for me to compensate my wife." ”

"I've been so busy at work for the past few years, and I haven't had a full vacation for a long time."

"It's all your fault, you pushed everything in the company to me to deal with!"

"But it pays well, doesn't it?" Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and teased: "I believe that there is no professional manager in Haolaiwu who earns more than you." ”

Wu Yuan is indeed very interesting to John, although he pushed all the daily operations of the Light Era to John and became a hands-off shopkeeper, but John's salary is indeed worthy of this busy job.

His fixed annual salary, from a million dollars at the beginning, has long since risen to three million dollars.

And among the films he produces in the company, as long as he is in charge of the film as a producer, he has a box office share, although it is not high, most of them are 2% or 3%, but it adds up to a lot.

Not counting the last "severance pay" given by Wu Yuan, John has also received a salary of two or three million US dollars in the past seven or eight years of working in the Light Era.

This kind of treatment is definitely beyond the reach of all professional managers in Hollywood.

Of course, it is still not comparable with the shareholders who really control the company's shares.

However, John, who received another $50 million, is not a billionaire, but he is definitely a wealthy and free person in the United States.

The purchasing power of the dollar is very strong, and a millionaire is equivalent to a multimillionaire in China.

John had tens of millions of dollars in cash in his hand, enough for him to live a life of luxury and enjoyment for the rest of his life until he died!

"You're right." John sighed: "Accepting your invitation, resigning from Fox Searchlight, and starting a business with you was the most correct decision I made in my life. ”

"I'm a little tired, but I feel a good sense of accomplishment."

"Daniel, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"Actually, Disney contacted me privately and hoped that I could stay and continue to be the general manager of Light Times, but I didn't reply to them."

"Do you mind?"

"Oh?" Wu Yuan was a little surprised, but quickly understood Disney's idea.

As the real helmsman of the Light Era, John can be said to have built this company completely by him, and Wu Yuan just provided a good script.

If he can stay in the Light Era, it is indeed possible to preserve the essence of the Light Age to the greatest extent, and there is no need for any changes, and the Light Age can continue to be on the road to create benefits for Disney.

"Of course I won't mind." Wu Yuan smiled and said indifferently: "When I decided to sell this company, I would have nothing to do with the Light Age anymore. ”

"If Disney's conditions are good and you are willing, of course I won't mind if you continue to stay in the Light Age."

"Of course, I think before that, you should take a long vacation and rest for a while, and then meet the challenges of the new stage." (End of chapter)
