In the Los Angeles 3D company CEO office, Green is explaining the important things in Ike with the company's deputy CEO Saipan

"You have to go to New York in person for this matter," Green said slowly while sitting behind his desk.

Saipan is older than Green and Ike, now 36 years old. He is mainly responsible for some of the company's film copyrights.

"Can these comic movies really make a big profit? The box office of "Blade Warrior" is 7,000, which is much worse than "The Walker" directed by Ike. For the amazing comic movies, many Hollywood companies are waiting and watching, that is, Fox, and bought "X-Men" for comic movies. The investment is huge," Saipan said with some concern.

"We don't have to worry about this. This is Ike's decision, well... I think he must have thought about it carefully, and he has never seen his eyes. We want him and do what he has taught." Green said affirmatively.

After hearing this, Saipan nodded. Green's words were true. "Well, then okay, I'll go to New York. I looked at it. Ike's opinion is to win "Spider-Man" and try his best to get the others. If Marvel agrees, we may need a lot of cash."

"You go and talk first, see the result," Green ordered

"Okay, I'll start contacting the New York side now." Saipan left Green's office after saying that

In Berlin, Germany, Ike still led the crew to step up the shooting of "Life and Death Reading" after more than 10 days of shooting, the progress has reached halfway through the 10 days. According to the plan, it has reached the shooting stage of the court. McAvoy's scenes have been filmed all of them. Now it's Ralph Fiennes' turn to play.

After the shooting of this day, Ike received a call from Green from Los Angeles

"So?" Ike couldn't wait to ask after hearing Green's voice

"Who do you listen to you first if you have joy or sorrow?" Green said in the middle

"Fak, stop going around with me. I've been filming a movie for a day, and my head hurts. You can talk quickly." Ike said with a frown.

"The bad news is that the copyright of Spider-Man movie has been bought by Sony. They bought it in 1985, and it is a permanent purchase. Of course, if we must buy it, we can buy it from Sony." Green said the first news, which seems not good news.

Fake Ake bought a secretly in his heart, okay, "How much does it cost to buy it from Sony?" Ike asked

"Oh, I suggest you give up this, let me ask you about this. I asked insiders. They said that Cameron wanted to buy it two years ago, and Sony raised a sky-high price of $1.5 billion in liquidated damages. If we want to buy it, it will probably not be less than $1 billion." Green said slowly.

"?" Ike stood up from the chair all at once, "Fak, are they crazy? The Marvel Company is not worth so much money."

"Well, you said nothing, it means that Sony didn't want to sell it at all. It is said that they have started preparing the script for "Spider-Man", so..." Green stammered for a moment.

Ike couldn't help but shook his head. Hey, it seems that he had no chance with Spider-Man. Sony started too early. Well, there is no way. He will never spend $1 billion to buy this copyright. Historically, the "Spider-Man" series has a global revenue of $3 billion. The cost of Sony can earn 1.5 billion. This is not considered the development of peripheral products. However, this is based on copyright. If it is filmed, the cost will be more than several times higher than Sony. Forget it, there are so many movies that make money in the world. I don't expect "Spider-Man" to be the first to do it.

"This is bad news, say OK," Ike sighed and said,

"There are other cartoon characters under Marvel that can sell our copyrights," Green said

“What are there?”

"Well...Fantastic Four..." Green said

Ike cursed again in his heart, the first one is that the Fantastic Four filmed two movies in history. The first one barely saved the book, and the second one simply lost money.

"What else?" Ike asked then

"Well, there are Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Avengers... none of these are for sale and there is not even a person to ask," Green said

"Where is the price?" Ike asked then

"The price is not too expensive, and there has not been any specific discussion yet. It is estimated that each one will be between 1,000 and 2,000 dollars. Of course, it also includes the share of the box office after the movie is released and the share of the surrounding products." Green said

"What are you buying them all? I mean, how much does it cost to adapt the movies of these comic characters?" Ike said

The other end of “?” suddenly raised the volume, “You said? Buy all of them?”

"Yes," Ike said calmly, "One-time"

"My God, are you going to buy them all at once? That will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Jingqi has just been reorganized. Do you want to give them benefits? And if you buy these copyrights, you may be able to make movies. Jingqi's authorization is that after you buy the copyright, if you don't have to establish a project within 10 years, the copyright owner will automatically take it back. In that case, we will give you money for free."

"We can just make them all into movies within 10 years," Ike said

"My God, are you drinking today?" Green's voice was a little anxious. "Is this a thing done? Yours, the funds for a comic movie require a lot, and it takes a long time to prepare the script. We can't finish it when we buy it."

"What about your opinion?" Ike asked

"Of course, I want to buy one first, for example, find a character with more comic fans. At present, Captain America is OK, and then film it, "

In fact, what Green said makes sense. This is a normal business behavior. There are risks, but not high. Even if a movie loses money, it is still controllable.

However, low risk means low returns. This is the rule. If you don't buy it at this time, once Sony's "Spider-Man" becomes popular, then Marvel will never sell the copyright at a cheap price, and it is likely that it will not be sold again. This is the same with the history of people who can shoot. After "Spider-Man" becomes popular, Marvel has never sold its comic adaptation rights again. All of them cooperate with the film company to complete the comic adaptation rights.

"Well... I buy all my opinions at one time," Ike said with certainty this time

.........

The other end was silent for a long time... "Madman" Green squeezed out such a sentence

"By the way," said Ike, "in addition to the Fantastic Four, we should also leave some for surprise."

Green, who rarely got so badly, finally cursed

"Stop scolding me, listen to me, go and do it, you want me, I definitely have a way to complete these comic movies within 10 years, and if you don't lose money, we will have "Avengers"" Ike said with a smile.

Historically, Marvel was acquired by Disney for $4.2 billion in 2009. That was after he launched a bunch of comic hero movies. If Ike did this, Marvel would probably be acquired in 2009.

However, in this world, Ike will do it and will not be able to drive Disney.
