American Fortune Life

"From this moment on, we will no longer sell any one of Marvel, even if it is a character who dies once, let alone those famous superheroes!"

Andy's humming voice continued to echo in the quiet conference room.

"I know that" Blade Warrior "from Newline Pictures in 1998," X-Men "launched by Flowserve in 2000, and through" Spider-Man "released in 2002, Sony has achieved greater success. Also There are magical four heroes, super daring heroes, and evil knights that have been completely changed. I also know that Marvel Pictures has an idea to make movies on its own. The idea is correct. I agree with this.

Before talking about my layout, I would like to thank someone here, David Messer, Executive Vice Chairman of our group, thank you, and thank you for keeping our Captain America and Thor, under the strong recommendation of Ike You will be the CEO of Marvel Pictures in the future ... "Andy said, turning his eyes to David Messer, who had stood up and looked serious and calm. And before the words fell, Andy took the lead in applauding. .

There was a warm applause, Andy lowered his hands, smiled and nodded to signal David to sit down, and then looked around for a week and said, "Maybe you are still curious, just because Stan was excited by what, everyone is our Marvel manager. You should all get an agreement. This agreement is a confidentiality agreement. If there is no problem, you can sign it. "

Andy looked around for a week after speaking, and everyone in the conference room did not hesitate, but signed his name soon. Wouldn't he be fired if he didn't sign it?

"Well, guys, pull the curtains, turn off the lights, and turn on the projector." Andy said with a smile after seeing the two lawyers in his think tank close the agreement.

With a remote control in his hand, Andy stood in front of the projector's curtain, and the light illuminated him even taller.

"Before I acquired Marvel, I was thinking about a question. If my acquisition was successful, how can I make Marvel rise? After all, superhero movies have been tried too many times, for better or worse, the most important issue is to change the film For those changes in the process of transformation, the fan base is our advantage, but most of them are comic fans, and comics ...

Well, people are so impressed with Marvel's universe and the ultimate universe. Based on this, no matter how the movie script is written and modified, it won't get everyone's approval!

So, I came up with a new plan, everyone please look at ... "Andy pressed the remote control in his hand, the first chapter sketch appeared, and the above was the new logo of Marvel Pictures.

"The Marvel Movie Universe numbered earth-199999 is a common overhead world centered on superhero movies. It is a series of movies independently produced based on the characters in Marvel Comics publications. It is like the Marvel Master Universe in comics Is created by common elements, settings, performances, and characters through cross-border works.

With the Avengers as the main skeleton and a single superhero movie as the branch, the superheroes such as Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, etc. were brought to the big screen ... "

Andy's commentary was not over yet. Someone in the conference room began to applaud with excitement. David Messer, who has always been calm and serious, was unable to restrain his excitement. He knew that he was not assigned, but really It's going to be a big fight.

"My Avengers plan is divided into three stages, the first stage of 6 movies, the first story of each character, and then the Heroes of the Avengers, so that the settings of each film are unified and buried in each film Connected foreshadowing, forming a unified world view ... "

Andy stretched out his hands and smiled, waited until the meeting room was quiet, and continued to elaborate. In the meeting room, the representatives of Marvel and the Bank of America listened very carefully.

"..." Avengers: Infinity War "May 2018," Ant-Man and the Wasp "July 2018," Captain Marvel "March 2019," Untitled Avengers "May 2019; This is the final third stage. "

Andy clearly saw the faces of everyone in the conference room, from surprise to excitement to solitude, and finally became stunned and shocked.

The applause thundered, and the whole group stood up and applauded enthusiastically. The frivolity of the Americans was revealed at this moment. Exciting whistles and words of admiration continued, and the scene was very lively.

Stan Lee and Iker stared at each other, and they saw excitement in each other's eyes. Everyone looked at the young, ridiculous tall figure standing under the light with almost worship, and since then, Andy is complete With the smooth reception of Marvel Entertainment Group, Marvel came to Marvel with a near-savior attitude.

When the excited crowd calmed down a bit, sitting on the seat, Andy chuckled and continued, "So, our Marvel Movie Universe officially launched today, our first superhero steel to be on the big screen. Tony Stark ... "

In the Mario Entertainment Group's EO office, Andy sat on the du Li sofa in the lounge area and looked at the five people with a smile.

His own chief think tank, Alvitre, Bank of America's Lewis, Marvel's Ike, David and Stan Lee.

"Lewis, thank you for your bank's help." Andy first thanked the only outsider here. Well, it's not outsiders. Bank of America has taken over all Marvel's debts and became Marvel's sole creditor.

"You're welcome, Andy, you know, our proposal has worked, as long as you're willing." Lewis said with a smile on his face.

"No, no, Lewis, since I became a Marvel, the value of Marvel has been raised, and I will not release even a small share, so do n’t mention it again. If you do n’t see the first stage of the plan, I don't think your bank will focus on Marvel's shares. Our cooperation will continue. Help me and your eo, thank you very much. "Andy stood up and shook hands with Lewis, and said sincerely.

"Well, this is a win-win situation, so I won't bother you. If you need anything, please wait any time." Lewis knew that he should leave, and he also needed to go back to report. To be honest, he really wanted to get some Marvel. The shares, Nima, the idiots on the board have not looked down on.

After leaving Lewis, there is only one person in the office, and Andy looks at the calm, expressionless David Messer.

"David, Marvel Pictures is in the hands of you. When you and Stan go back, you immediately set up a six-member committee to write the script of Iron Man, the formation of the crew and the screening of the actors. If you need to find Aike directly, After the script is complete, I personally review it and you can take away those sketches of the steel suit. "

"Understood, boss." David Messer nodded in response and said no more.

"Ike, start negotiations with Paramount, terminate cooperation with their distribution, and reduce the compensation amount is the key. I will let my think tank send a few people to help you. At the same time, continue to negotiate with Sony and Fox, even if it ca n’t be recovered Copyright must also expand our share of interests. "

Andy naturally knows how profitable the future distribution of Marvel movies is. Even if its peak is not as good as Paramount in terms of local distribution, isn't it just spending money on advertising? There is still some confidence in it. As for the theater The number of curtains is the same for everyone.

Of course, Fox, Universal, and Disney have a theater share, but no matter how it is, who can't get through with money.

"Sony and Fox are not going to compromise anymore, and we have negotiated to increase some share in 2005 ..."

Andy frowned slightly and interrupted Ike's continued introduction with a wave of his hand, saying: "Then sue them, fight with them, and drag them to death, I know that the agreement with Fox is a bit difficult, Stan, your future paragraph It ’s time to focus on comic publishing and start working on ending the X-Men series! "

"hiss"

Except for Al, the other three were unchangeable and fierce enough. The decades-long series added weight to the negotiation of interests and directly ended the entire series. Nima and the comics also made money.

"Okay, maybe a little urgent, but you can't continue to expand the mutant lineup! This way ..." Andy knew that it was a little too anxious, but definitely couldn't let the bully Fox coax all day long and lead his nose away.

"Don't we still have a stranger? Transplant the follow-up of the mutant to the story of the stranger, and use the SHIELD as the main line to expand the story to contain the X-Men in the hands of Fox."

The three stared again, Nima, what kind of brain is this, and it was so easy to come up with a countermeasure? Well, it really is a genius.

Of course, Andy's acting skills are still very good at present, pretending to be a meditation performance, it is just the Marvel's later tricks against Fox in advance.

"Well, this idea is good, but the lineup of mutants is too large, Fox has a lot of room to operate, and he can expand characters at will." Stan Lee has done a lifetime of comics, and he knows the value of mutants best.

"Ike, this is your job. If you stuck Fox's neck and questioned the agreement, you would use excessive adaptation of the role to affect the original role. Even if you can't get the copyright back, you have to limit them." Andy is Want to stab them with a lawsuit, Nima, don't let me take advantage, don't stop! Why else spend so much lawyers!

The other four, this time including Al, looked at each other with black lines on their foreheads. This Nima was totally unreasonable and ready to play a rogue rhythm.

Al groaned for a while, then stretched his brows and said, "Boss, your approach may be really feasible. It seems that there is such a thing in US copyright law ..."

"Oh, of course, I have asked, Article 107, the exclusive right is restricted by the principle of fair use! It just restricts the copyright owner. We are now questioning the copyright owner as the original creator and thinking backwards. You have to know that the stronger the commercial factor of using a copyrighted work, the less likely it is to be considered fair use. "Andy took away the smile on your face, raised his eyebrows, and made Aike a few people at once Out of spirit.

Nima, really can play like this! There is no doubt that there is a valid reason. The court will definitely accept it. Once entering the judicial process, Fox and Sony can be entangled and let them start the movie project without any hair!
