Chapter 719
Marvel has been selling copyrights to film companies since the 1960s, but most of them ended in a failed attempt.
High investment has led to losses. After several times of the same thing, the film production companies were scared and would rather spend time creating new themes than use Marvel's ready-made ideas.
Until now, except for the D Comics people and Batman, other level heroes are not sold, so last year, Marvel repurchased the copyright of a level hero movie, which was so smooth.
Facing his grandfather's speechless look, Han Xuan knew that he was worried that he would be wasted the money he bought for Marvel and said nothing about it: "You have heard it too, that's because the plot of the movie shot by Constantine Pictures is too bad.
I think you should set up a subsidiary yourself. Those screenwriters do not have the experience of adapting Marvel comics. Just like the previous few movies "Captain America", they did not shoot the essence of a level hero.
It's a small investment, and it's a B-level film. I can't figure out what they will make "Fantastic Four" and we will shoot it ourselves in the future."
Compared with A-level films with huge investment and well-made production, B-Touch Vie refers to films made on a low budget and does not belong to the commonly known film rating.
B-level films are short shooting time and low production budget, so they are generally simple in landscapes, rough props, and films often lack texture and do not have good quality. Due to the limitations of production budget, B-level films usually do not have big stars participating in the performance.
"If they can't do it, you can?" His grandfather looked disbelief.
"Otherwise, why do you think I bought shares in Industrial Light and Magic Film Special Effects Production Company? I just bought it for your Dimen Pictures.
It is not the time when people used to be simple, so others would buy seats.
Nowadays, people have seen the Terminator series that truck drivers use money to pile up, and Mr. Spielberg's real "Jurassic Park", who would like a movie that is so fake that it can't be fake anymore.
It’s not that the level hero movies are not good, but they need to be filmed with big A-level movies, so that the audience can think that this is the real world and the real world we live in now, so that we can feel a sense of immersion.”
The movie special effects company has already obtained it. Although it has not been able to control the shares, it also accounts for a quarter of the shares. It is the second largest shareholder after George Lucas himself. It has sufficient working capital. Han Xuan feels it is time to bring Marvel to the historical stage in advance.
Guo Muzhou said: "The investment cost of A-level films is very high. Now that "Titanic" is not released, I have invested a total of 80 million US dollars in that movie.
Pixar Animation Studio also needs money, and Toy Story 2 is being produced.
"Dude and Passion" is about to be completed, and "The Rest of the Desert Island" is also entering the final stage. "Independence Day" produced by 2o Century Fox, a total of 80,000 yuan, I will invest 370,000 yuan in the budget of 80,000 yuan."
"Okay, okay, just say you don't have money.
I'm raising debts with my grandson and despising you from the bottom of my heart for three years.
When I go back, I will pay you $250 million first. You set up a subsidiary that specializes in making Marvel movies.
In the early stage, I have made two films at the same time. I have already selected the themes for you, "Blade Warrior" and "Men".
Next, when "Independence Day" is finished, Mr. Will Smith will come to film "Men in Black", his funny style is suitable for that movie.
In terms of industrial light magic, it is said that there is no big problem with technology, and many new technologies specially used in Terminator and Jurassic Park can be used to produce heroes."
Guo Muzhou touched his nose awkwardly. He was not urging Han Xuan to pay back the money, but was afraid that his account would be too much money and he should use it in places where he shouldn't have used it.
After studying the current composition structure of Xueshan Investment Company, he was really scared. Once real estate and automobiles were trapped, they would be bottomless pits.
But his grandson has the same moral character as his grandfather. He doesn't like to let the board of directors restrict freedom. He wants to occupy a large share or directly own a sole proprietorship, and he bears both profits and losses.
Unless it is a must-earn cash dairy company, such as oil, minerals, etc., it is not suitable for corporate development. The main reason is that it is very risky. It is useless to persuade it several times. I can only find a way to withdraw his funds. If I don’t have money, I will definitely not mess around again.
Grandpa is not very familiar with Marvel comics and only knows that there are many materials that can be used to make movies. Naller knows the three works Han Xuan said, and can even remember some plot clips.
After thinking a little in my mind, I thought that they were indeed some comics suitable for adaptation, and I couldn't help but get a new understanding of Han Xuan's abilities.
Most children like Spider-Man and Iron Man, the most famous characters in Marvel. He did not only focus on fame, but also considered shooting technology issues.
The big film companies before had a problem of being too arrogant and being too arrogant.
Naller said as he pushed open the iron gate: "I'll sort out these comics. The company has a complete backup draft and will be found soon."
“Well, I’ll set the outline.
Some stories have been around for too long and are not in line with the times, so they need to be reintegrated into the Marvel world.
After the modification, we will carry out again and cooperate with the movie to promote it..."
Marvel employees, except for meeting the new boss Guo Muzhou on the day of the acquisition, had no contact with him at other times.
Seeing him and Han Xuan coming at this moment, I don’t know who took the lead in flattering and applauding, and put down the work in his hands, and the applause was heard.
Han Xuan smiled and waved his hand to greet him, said good morning, and turned his attention to the decoration of the factory interior.
The walls are dark red, full of cartoon characters under Marvel. On the individual wooden tables of the employees, there are also many various Q-version cartoon dolls.
Some famous cartoonists who come to the company to paint have separate creative studios.
Through the glass, you can see them scratching their ears and heads, biting their pens to conceive the plot.
Or keep smoking, the whole room is filled with smoke, like a fairyland.
A more bizarre person drinks in the morning, and the table is filled with wine, holding a bottle in one hand and holding a pen in the other.
Working in comics is similar to literature. Sometimes you have to sit for several hours and think about the plot. Mental fatigue is more tiring than physiological aspects. You always have to think of some ways to relieve it. You will still do it even if you know that it hurts your body.
Therefore, supporting genuine works is very important for original workers. They are doing the same as ordinary workers, and even more difficult, but the results of their labor are plundered in vain. This is really an immoral thing. You cannot take it for granted because you have no supervision.
Most of the people who dare to work in comic companies are those who really like comics, otherwise they will not be able to stand the boring and boring work during the period.
Han Xuan could feel that the same relaxed atmosphere as Blizzard Entertainment Company, Marvel, which has been established for decades, has a unique sentiment and corporate culture.
There is nothing important to come to Irvine today, just to inspect the company.
After reading Marvel's plan for this year and last year's fiscal expenditure statement, Han Xuan gave some suggestions on future development directions.
After finishing the delicious lunch in the cafeteria, I took my grandfather into the bus and left and drove towards the headquarters of Blizzard Entertainment Company (to be continued.)8
