Director who specializes in American comics

Everyone gathered in the house to discuss. Anyway, no matter how they discussed, the result was that the copyright of Little Spider could not be taken away by Sony's Amy Pascal, no matter what the price.

Jon Favreau said: "We are in a bit of a turmoil right now, and we haven't gotten any definite news at all. It's a bit early for a bunch of us to just discuss it here."

Joss Whedon said: "Plan in advance and prepare for the worst, so that you can watch three movies in one step."

Wang Xuanyuan turned back and asked Kevin Feige, how much available funds do we have left now?

Feige said hesitantly: "Director, the funds currently available in our account do not exceed 20 million. We have just transferred the publicity and distribution expenses of "Iron Man" to Paramount, and the publicity and distribution plan has been finalized. Just waiting for your decision."

According to the distribution contract signed with Paramount, both parties will pay half of this large publicity fee, with each company paying up to 600 million. After taking away this money, it can be said that Marvel Studios really has no money.

The remaining money will still be spent on the post-production, re-shooting, and payment of wages for the new film. The re-shooting work for "Iron Man" is still going on, and post-production is being done while filming. Wang Xuanyuan knows that until now, The production cost of the film has already exceeded 80 million. According to this progress, it will be a matter of time before the production cost exceeds 100 million.

But what makes Wang Xuanyuan happy is that the quality of the film is very good. They have all seen the parts that have been produced, and it is very good.

The only one who complained was Jessica Alba. Her role did not appear in the film, so she was actually a little unhappy. However, Wang Xuanyuan had promised her that if the film could make a lot of money, her role would be released as soon as possible. , The Invisible Woman is scheduled to be included in this series of movies.

Not arranging her role for the time being is due to financial constraints on the one hand, and the length of the movie on the other. If there is too much content, the duration will be too long, which is very detrimental to the box office of the movie.

There are actually quite a lot of characters appearing in this movie, even the mutant Professor

Getting back to business, Wang Xuanyuan asked Kevin Feige: "Does Amy Pascal have any movie projects recently?"

Feige immediately said: "Since last winter's "Charlie's Angels" was a hit at the box office, in addition to preparing for the sequel, she is currently preparing a new film by herself. According to media reports, the film is tentatively titled "Thriller Room" and the director is currently a major director. The hot David Fincher, the actor is Jodie Foster."

A well-known director and actor, it must be a big production with a female theme. Amy Pascal seems to be very good at this type of movie, Wang Xuanyuan was thinking.

Kevin Feige's brows relaxed. He seemed to have thought of something, and then mused: "Things don't seem to be what we thought. Amy's mind may not be on the little spider."

Hearing what he said, everyone in the room looked at him. Some people thought of something, but Wang Xuanyuan looked confused and asked Fei Qi to speak quickly.

Kevin Feige held the baseball cap on his forehead in his hand and said: "Recently you should have heard the news about the Centennial Lion MGM's debt crisis. It seems that Sony's interest in MGM is relatively high. Little Spider has more interests.”

After he said this, everyone understood. Wang Xuanyuan then recalled from his memory that MGM's interest payments on various debts that were about to mature recently were almost 200 million, and its overall debt was nearly 200 million. There are three billion.

Three billion, which is a lot of money, plus MGM does not have a very strong backing force, this three billion debt is enough to crush this century-old lion.

Universal’s parent company is Comcast, Warner’s parent company is Time Warner, Paramount’s parent company is Viacom, Fox’s backend is Murdoch’s News Corporation, and Disney itself is a super giant company, Sony The owner of Columbia and Sony is the Sony Group. Such major Hollywood production companies all have backstage sponsors and are very powerful.

Only MGM, which is still a single company, has not been acquired. It is also the most easily acquired production and distribution company in Hollywood.

It is said that several groups have expressed interest in MGM, including Sony, Disney, Wanda, Att and other companies.

Paramount has a rich film library, the best of which is the 007 movie, and has all the rights to produce and distribute it.

Kevin Feige put on his baseball cap again and said, "There may be a change in this matter."
