Chapter 719: The Movie Goes Off
Since the sixties, Marvel has released many movies in the form of selling the rights to film companies, but most of them have ended up hitting the streets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the same thing happened several times, those film studios were scared and would rather spend time creating new themes than use Marvel's ready-made ideas.
Up to now, except for Superman and Batman in DC Comics, other superheroes are not blockbusters, so last year, Marvel's repurchase of superhero movie rights will be so smooth.
Facing his grandfather's speechless eyes, Han Xuan knew that he was worried that the money to buy Marvel would be wasted, so he didn't care to speak: "You also heard it, that's because the plot of the movie shot by Constantine Film is too bad."
I think you should set up a subsidiary of your own, those writers have no experience in adapting Marvel Comics, just like the first few "Captain America" films, they didn't shoot the essence of superheroes.
Small investment, and it's still a B-grade film, I can't figure out what they will make "Fantastic Four" look like, and we will shoot it ourselves in the future. ”
Compared with A-movies with huge investment and good production, B-movies refer to films made on a low budget and do not belong to the commonly referred to film classification.
B-grade films have a short shooting time and low production budget, so the set is generally simple, the props are rough, and the film often lacks texture and good quality, because of the limitation of the production budget, usually B-grade films do not have big stars to participate in the performance.
"They can't, can you?" said his grandfather, looking incredulous.
"Otherwise, why do you think I bought the shares of Industrial Light & Magic Film Special Effects Production Company, and I will buy it just for your Dimen Pictures.
Now is not the time when the scene of Superman was shabby, and others would buy it.
Now that people have watched the "Terminator" series that truckers put up with money, and Mr. Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" that looks like the real thing, who would like a movie that can't be faked anymore.
It's not that superhero movies can't be done, but they need to be shot with large-scale A-grade films, so that the audience thinks that this is the real world, the real world we live in now, and this is the sense of substitution......"
The film special effects company has already gotten its hands on it, although it has not been able to control it, but it also accounts for a quarter of the shares, which is the second largest shareholder after George Lucas himself, and there is still plenty of liquidity in his hands, Han Xuan feels that it is time to bring Marvel into the historical stage in advance.
Guo Muzhou said: "The investment cost of A-grade films is large, and now that "Titanic" has not been released, I have invested a total of 80 million US dollars in that movie.
Pixar Animation Studios also needs money, and Toy Story 2 is in the works.
"Fast and Furious" is about to finish, "Desert Island Afterlife" is also in the final stage, and 20th Century Fox's next "Independence Day", out of a total budget of 80 million, I want to contribute $37 million......"
"Okay, okay, just say you don't have any money.
Collect debts from your grandson, and despise you from the bottom of my heart for three years.
When I go back, I'll pay you back $250 million first, and you set up a subsidiary to make Marvel movies.
In the early days, I made two films at the same time, and I have already helped you choose the theme, "Blade" and "X-Men".
Then wait for "Independence Day" to finish filming, and let Mr. Will Smith come and make "Men in Black", and his hilarious style suits that movie.
On the side of industrial light and magic, it is said that there is no big problem in terms of technology, and many new technologies that have been specially developed and used in "Terminator" and "Jurassic Park" can be used to make superheroes. ”
Guo Muzhou touched his nose in embarrassment, he was not urging Han Xuan to repay the money, but he was afraid that there was too much money in his account and it would be used where it should not be used.
After studying the current structure of the Snow Mountain Investment Company, he is really a little scared, such as real estate and automobiles, once they are trapped, they are bottomless.
However, his grandson still has the same virtue as his grandfather, and he does not like to let the board of directors restrict his freedom, so he wants to occupy a large amount of shares or directly proprietary, and his profits and losses are borne by himself.
Unless it is a must-earn cash dairy business, such as oil, minerals, etc., the sole proprietorship is not suitable for the development of enterprises, the main reason is that the risk is high, and it is useless to persuade him several times, so he can only find a way to draw his funds, and he will definitely not mess around again if he has no money.
Grandpa is not very familiar with Marvel comics, only knows that there are many materials that can be used to make movies, and Nale knows the three works that Han Xuan said, and can even remember some of the plot clips.
After thinking about it a little in my heart, I thought that they were indeed comics suitable for adaptation, and I couldn't help but have a new understanding of Han Xuan's ability.
Most children like Spider-Man and Iron Man, the most famous characters of Marvel, and he not only stared at fame, but also took into account the technical problems of shooting.
In the past, those big film companies made the mistake of having a low eye.
Nalor pushed open the iron door and said, "I'm going to sort out these comics, the company has a complete backup draft, and I'll be able to find them soon." ”
"Well, I'll set the outline.
Some stories have been released for too long and are out of date, and they need to be reintegrated into the Marvel universe.
After the change, it will be re-released, and it will be promoted with the movie......"
Marvel employees, except for meeting the new big boss Guo Muzhou on the day of the acquisition, have no contact with him on other days.
Seeing him and Han Xuan coming at this moment, I don't know who took the lead in clapping, and they all put down their work, and the applause rang out.
Han Xuan smiled and waved his hand to say hello, said a few good mornings, and set his eyes on the interior decoration of the factory.
The walls are mostly dark red, painted with Marvel's cartoon characters, and there are many various Q version cartoon dolls on the employees' separate wooden tables.
Some of the famous manga artists who come to the company to paint have their own studios.
Through the glass, you can see them scratching their ears and cheeks, biting their pens to conceive the plot.
Or smoke vigorously, and the whole room is full of smoke, like in a fairyland.
The more bizarre ones drink in the morning, with a table full of wine, a bottle in one hand and a pen in the other.
Engaging in comics is similar to literature, sometimes you have to sit for hours thinking about the plot, mental fatigue is more tiring than physiological, you always have to find some way to alleviate it, and you will still do it even if you know that it hurts your body.
Therefore, it is very important to support the genuine version for the original workers, they are paying the same as ordinary workers, and even more hard, but the fruits of their labor have been plundered in vain, which is really a very immoral thing, and it cannot be taken for granted because there is no supervision.
Most of the people who dare to work in a comic company are people who really like comics, otherwise they can't stand the boring work during the period.
Han Xuan can feel that it has the same relaxed atmosphere as Blizzard Entertainment, and Marvel, which has been established for decades, has a unique feeling and corporate culture.
It's not important to come to Irvine today, it's just to inspect the company.
After reading Marvel's plan for this year and last year's financial expenditure statement, Han Xuan gave some suggestions on the future development direction.
After eating a delicious lunch in the cafeteria, I took my grandfather in the car and left, heading for the headquarters of Blizzard Entertainment...... (To be continued.) )
