Director’s Legend

Shao Shuaijun can see the ambitions of Marvel Comics, but courage and courage are not enough to do things, and resources are needed. The Ultimate Universe Project is a huge handwriting, but there is no superhero movie copyright, and just showing it on the comics has no effect.

To make the ultimate universe project, the copyright of the superhero must be taken back.

But Marvel Comics is smart, and others are not stupid. No one will send the copyright in vain, waiting to make a fortune from it. If you want to get it back, you can either take the money or wait for the film copyright to expire.

After all, Marvel Comics was not so stupid at the beginning. It sold the ownership of superheroes, but sold the copyright of the movie with the number of movies plus the time limit. For example, the "Spider-Man" series was originally sold to Sony, and Sony authorized its use by Columbia Pictures.

The contract is such a situation, the movie copyright of Marvel Comics "Spiderman" series of superheroes, Columbia Company buys out the ownership of six movies, but if there is no "Spiderman" series of movies for a period of time, the copyright of the superhero will automatically return Marvel in hands.

Usually this time is two to three years. "Spider-Man" was sold in 2000, and it came out at a rate of three years. That is to say, if there is no interference, the copyright of the superhero will not be taken back by Marvel Comics until 2018.

Both Spider-Man and X-Men sold copyrights in this way.

Only Iron Man and Thor, Marvel Comics traded in another way, only selling the distribution rights of the movie to Paramount Pictures. Because it was a transaction after 2006, Marvel Comics has passed the initial crisis period, relying on the licensing fees of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men", and barely have the strength to develop.

Seeing Spider-Man and X-Men’s global sales, the eyes are red, where are they willing to sell the copyright. However, in order to develop the ultimate universe project and to raise funds, the distribution rights of Iron Man and Thor were sold.

Shao Shuaijun shook his head and sighed: "You sold the copyright of superheroes at the beginning. Although the crisis at that time was lifted, it has also caused countless troubles. F4 (Fantastic Four), X (X-Men) and Bugs (Spiderman) The copyright of ), if you don’t let others play it, it’s hard to take it back. Iron Man sold out last year, and Paramount certainly didn’t want to let it go easily. It means that the heroes who make money are owned by others, and those who spend a little price can get it. It’s hard to tell whether the returning heroes, such as Daredevil, Daredevil, Soul Chariot, Blade Warrior, and Punisher, can continue to make money. Tsk tsk, the prospects are not optimistic."

Kevin Feige blushed and paled for a while. Isn't this predicament the heart disease of Marvel Comics executives? Relying on drinking coffee to cover up, Kevin asked, "Since Dong Shao knows the plight of Marvel Comics, why is Summit Entertainment still willing to try to acquire, and Walt Disney is also competing for acquisition?"

"The skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Marvel comics has more than 8,000 comic characters. This is a huge resource. Although it does not make much money, it is a good material library for film companies. The future superheroes will Fire is our consistent view, but how many film companies can promote superheroes? Now that the subprime mortgage crisis has not passed, Sony is out of money, and a "Spider-Man" is hard to develop. Warner Bros. has DC Comics, Paramount will soon fall out of the top six, Universal has always been one of the last, Fox’s parent company News Corporation has also declined. After all, the only one that can support Marvel’s big plans is Summit Entertainment. With Walt Disney, is President Kevin right?"

"Perhaps, at least there are still two competitions, right?" Kevin replied nonchalantly.

Shao Shuaijun laughed: "President Kevin said that it was a bit reluctant. What does Walt Disney do? It is a business for children. It develops fairy tales like "Alice in Wonderland" and runs Disneyland. Under Marvel Comics. Superheroes, how many violent and **** characters are there? Even if Walt Disney acquires you, these characters must be eliminated from the Ultimate Universe Project, right?"

"There is money to be made, a little blood and violence is nothing."

"Disney's standing is definitely relying on the consistent reputation of fairy tales. Parents would like their children to watch the electronic music, animations, toys and theme parks produced by Disney. If it is bloody, it will be a self-smashing sign. , Would not do this." Shao Shuaijun took a sip of tea, "But we are different from Summit Entertainment, as long as it is a profitable business, nothing is impossible. And compared with Disney, we have a huge advantage."

"What advantage?"

"We have our own game company that can cooperate with the Ultimate Universe Project to cover a full range of markets. And we not only occupy a huge market in the United States, we also own the Chinese market. The Chinese market, this is a coveted market, not Doesn’t it? President Kevin thinks, what is the status of our Dream Entertainment Group in China?"

Kevin looked at Shao Shuaijun, and was silent for a while before he said: "You are the overlord of the Chinese entertainment circle... If, I mean, if Marvel Drawing Man becomes a subsidiary of Summit Entertainment, what is Marvel Comics status? Our employees, our plan , How do you interfere?"

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while and solemnly said: "If it is not for the identity of a Chinese enterprise, I would very much hope that Marvel Comics will be acquired in the name of Dreaming Entertainment Group. But I promise that you will definitely be a partner of Summit Entertainment. , Rather than a subsidiary company. You have absolute autonomy. We are cooperating to develop superheroes. I will not fire or move any of your employees. I will rely on your board of directors. Moreover, as long as the acquisition is successful, I can guarantee that, You, Kevin Feggy, will become one of the top executives of Dreamcatcher Entertainment."

"Top executives?"

"It's a title, a title that indicates status, and of course, it also enjoys the equity of the group headquarters. There are currently only three top executives. The top executives include the general manager of Dreaming Entertainment Group, the general manager of Dreaming Golden Harvest, and the general manager of Summit Entertainment. Fourth place." Shao Shuaijun said in a temptation tone of red fruit.

Kevin's eyes flickered: "Can you guarantee my rights and the rights of Marvel Comics?"

"We just want to shoot superheroes. I can guarantee that this is just a partnership. You see, Mitchell Bruce is a happy life, when I bought his company, now I give him what he wants everything of."

The atmosphere is a bit solemn, only the sound of drinking tea and coffee.

For a long time, Kevin put down the cup: "The conversation with Shao Dong was very pleasant. I think I will facilitate the acquisition plan of Summit Entertainment."

Shao Shuaijun smiled when he heard the words and put the cup down, then stood up and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

The acquisition and negotiation of listed companies is a tedious and arduous matter, but with the intention of cooperation, everything will be as simple as a matter of course. Now, Shao Shuaijun only needs to wait at ease. No one knows better than him what kind of brilliance the future Marvel comic heroes will shine.

"Iron Man" is a global hit, "Thor" is a global hit, "Soul Chariot 2" is also a big hit, even more incredible, and Shao Shuaijun's most desired, is "Avengers", this movie is absolutely fabulous big sale. In the past, Shao Shuaijun always felt that the copyright of superheroes was too complicated to be directed.

But now everything is different, a great opportunity is in front of him, he does not allow himself to hesitate!

Marvel comics, he is about to decide, "Avengers" is also a planned thing!

After drinking the tea, Shao Shuaijun disappeared from Marvel Comics. The acquisition plan is still in the confidential stage, so he doesn't want to be out of line. After getting in the car and drove to the airport, Shao Shuaijun's ambition was burning as he watched the Marvel comics signs getting smaller and smaller.
