Chapter Sixty-Two Dialogue with Stan Lee, This Young Man Doesn't Talk About Martial Virtue!!

In fact, Chu Xuan did not intend to make "Iron Man" at the beginning.

Originally, he planned to make "The Matrix", "Inception" or "Terminator".

In Hollywood today, the movie with the best visual effects and the most explosive box office is still "Independence Day" 10 years ago.

The blockbusters in the summer program are basically "The Fall of the White House", "Red Notice", "Skyscraper Rescue", "Twin Killers", "Ace Bodyguard" and other genres

There is no need to shoot, just continue the suspense of the previous game to shoot the sequel.

"The Fall of the White House" is followed by "The Fall of Lundhorn";

After the filming of "Jade Bodyguard", it is "Royal Bodyguard";

"Red Notice" even if the word of mouth hit the street, as long as the box office exceeds 500 million, it can still make "Red Notice 2".........

So not only in North America, but also in the global film summer program is getting weaker and weaker every year.

There is a gradual lack of novelty in the shooting, and there are few eye-catching special effects action blockbusters.

Even popcorn with Coke will become more and more dull.

In the past life, the film market actually faced this problem.

The directions that action movies can shoot are basically explored, and the plot is much the same.

Today it is the terrorists of the Middle East, tomorrow it is the spies of the bear who are engaged in sabotage.

If it were not for Marvel movies, the comic book market would have accounted for half of the post-2010 era.

I am afraid that there are only a few films that can allow fans to enter the movie hall.

If there is a "Matrix" at this time, it may also subvert everyone's cognition.

He had even opened the document and typed "The Matrix" in the title.

As a result, Chu Xuan's office was knocked on, it was his female assistant, Anna originally Chu Xuan was not generally in the office of Infinite Pictures, but people who could not stand the company always called him.

Chu Xuan will also stay in the company for a few days a week to concentrate on dealing with problems.

As a boss, I can't get too busy with things, and I have to be assigned an assistant.

Among the bunch of candidates, Chu Xuan picked her out at a glance at the photo, Anna Kendrick.

It is said that the female assistant Anna wanted to be an actress before, had acting experience, and auditioned countless times without any good roles.

You can only find a job here to support yourself.

She was still quite serious and responsible, which made Chu Xuan more worry-free.

Sometimes Chu Xuan looked at her very familiarly, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Boss, someone is looking for you..."

"In the creation of the script, there are no idle people, etc."

Chu Xuan's head did not raise his head in response.

"Boss, the other party is Kevin Feige......... I think you should meet him. "

The female assistant Anna is beautiful and petite and slender.

But she was not cowardly in the face of Chu Xuan, and she had some of her own opinions.

"Oh?"

Chu Xuan was intrigued.

Kevin Feige? The name is a bit familiar!

"Since you said that, I'll see you and let him come in and talk."

After a while, an uncle with a duck-tongue hat walked in with a smile.

"Hello Mr. Chu, I'm Kevin Feige. It happened to be nearby, and I wanted to stop by to visit..."

Kevin Feige was a little hot and took off his duck-tongue hat to reveal his half-bald braincase while handing over a business card.

Chu Xuan, CEO of North American Marvel Pictures Co., Ltd., couldn't help but raise an eyebrow after seeing the business card.

Marvel Pictures is a marvel comics film company that has another more well-known name, Marvel.

Marvel in the parallel world is similar to the fortunes of the previous life.

Borrowing from DC Comics, Marvel's Captain Liberty, Spider-Man, Hulk, etc. also became the favorite characters of young people in the 1980s.

Unfortunately, comics are gradually abandoned with the times, and the sales of Marvel comics continue to slash.

In the past two years, they have almost been unable to make ends meet and are on the verge of closure.

For a while, they also wanted to sell comic rights to continue their lives.

Marvel took the "Spider-Man" copyright to Sony Entertainment, and sony didn't even bother to get 10 million.

DC's "Superman Returns", "Batman and Robin" and other comic adaptations are a mess, and the box office is dismal.

The market has completely lost confidence in comic reform.

Just like before the dragon country "The Wandering Earth" in the previous life, no one dared to touch science fiction movies.

Comic-made movies have also become Hollywood's "forbidden land".

Kevin Feige was formerly the vice president of toy factory Toybiz.

As a result, Marvel Comics and Toybiz jointly created toys, and the toy company almost went out of business.

A bunch of Spider-Man, Iron Man, the US team's handiwork can't be sold.

Kevin Feige resigned and joined Marvel Studios directly.

He's been acting like a salesman lately, looking around for studios with comic rights to shoot.

It's a pity that Disney, fox giants, simply can't look at these comic book characters.

"Kids don't even watch something, and still want to make a movie?" No way! "

After being rejected one after another, Kevin Feige suddenly remembered Chu Xuan.

As the youngest Oscar-winning best director, as the director and screenwriter of the phenomenal film "The Godfather".

Chu Xuan may have the magic power to turn decay into magic.

And among the rumors, Chu Xuan likes to involve new things and novel themes the most.

Most importantly, if there is no business this month, Marvel Studios has simply collapsed and dissolved.

So Kevin Feige had the mentality of trying it out and simply came to the door.

Listening to Kevin Feige's tearful description, Chu Xuan couldn't hold back a smile.

Fortunately, he is professionally trained.

"Mr. Chu, we Marvel IP really have potential, believe me!"

"And with your writing and directing abilities, you can definitely turn comic book stories into box office monsters!"

Kevin Feige touted with flowers, and Chu Xuan just held his chin and listened to him beep quietly.

He even inadvertently cosfather Corleone, moving his fingers, signaling the female assistant to pour a glass of water for the guest.

Kevin Feige said dry-mouthed, grunting and gulping down.

He almost blew Marvel's merits out of the flower.

But Chu Xuan was always unmoved, which made him a little anxious.

If Chu Xuan wasn't interested either, there would be almost no one in Hollywood.

Is it really the Spider-Man IP 7 million cheap sale? What a loss! Just when Kevin Feige was desperate, Chu Xuan spoke.

"I'm out of $100 million."

Kevin Feige thought he had heard it wrong and got excited!

Even the most popular Spider-Man can't sell for 10 million, and the Avengers can't add up to $100 million.

Could it be that Chu Xuan is a wronged species?

"$100 million! You are so discerning, the members of the Avengers can be packaged for you! "

"Which IP do you want to shoot first?" Spider-Man? Or the U.S. team? "

"Hulk's words, the recent reputation is a bit miserable, may not be appropriate..."

Kevin: Before Feige could finish speaking, Chu Xuan interrupted him.

"No, I mean, acquire the entire Marvel."

“W.hat？"

Kevin Feige was completely stupid.

He even thought that Chu Xuan was joking, but Chu Xuan's serious posture did not look like a joke.

This kind of thing is not up to him, and it needs to be decided by marvel executives and Stan Lee.

"Mr. Chu, allow me to make a phone call."

"No problem, please help yourself."

Kevin Feige frowned and hurried to the nearby conference room.

Female assistant Anna Kendrick brought Chu Xuan a cup of tea and said curiously, "Boss, are you really going to buy Marvel?" "

"How? What's wrong? "

Chu Xuan asked with a smile.

"Marvel's current funding situation is very bad, in case the movie box office is not good, the company is a burden, may affect our own financial situation."

"If you really want to make a comic book movie, you might as well buy an IP to test the water." In this way, even if you lose money, you will not lose too much. "

Anna analyzed calmly.

"I can't see it, you're still quite business-minded."

"No way, my dream was to be a Broadway cabaret actor. Unfortunately, my family objected, so I had to go to business school. Later, he was not willing to do so, so he came to Hollywood to try his luck. Pity........."

Anna sighed.

Only then did Chu Xuan suddenly remember why Anna was familiar.

In her past life, she was really a Broadway musical actor.

Later, he starred in films such as "Perfect Tone", "Twilight", "In the Clouds" and so on.

Good guy, just find a female assistant, and it turns out that she is also a star in a past life.

"Rest assured, since you joined my film company, you may be able to make movies in the future."

"Really?"

Anna, who had always been calm, was overjoyed.

"I never paint cakes for employees, I talk."

"Thank you! Clear! Thank you! "

Anna thanked her happily and almost wanted to hug her.

At this time, Kevin Feige walked in with his mobile phone and handed it to Chu Xuan with a strange face.

"Chu, Mr. Stan Lee would like to talk to you personally."

Chu Xuan calmly answered the phone, and a slightly hoarse voice came from there.

"Hello, Chu."

"Mr. Lee..."

"Oh, just call me Stan. I like your "Godfather", can you sign me a 453 when you have a chance? "

"Of course."

Stan Lee is also older, and is currently only the honorary chairman of Marvel, and he barely asks about corporate affairs.

But the management discussed half a day and each result, or invited him out of the mountain.

Stan Lee didn't have a second word and asked to talk to Chu Xuan directly.

He himself is more humorous and funny, and is an old naughty boy.

The two casually chatted about "The Godfather", and Stan Lee sighed softly.

"I know, you're also a cheerful person, so we won't go around in circles."

"The company's situation doesn't have to be hidden from you, the whole world knows."

"I'm happy that someone is willing to accept this mess."

"But is 100 million too little?" Our IP value is worth at least $1 billion. "

Chu Xuan listened to Stan Lee say this, and smiled darkly and did not speak.

Hundred million? In the past life, Disney spent 4.6 billion.

But how could Chu Xuan possibly tell him.

"I believe that with your company's current financial situation, I am afraid that I am going to file for bankruptcy, right?"

"It seems that you have indeed learned about us with your heart. So be it... Marvel's works are all my painstaking efforts, and I will simply fold them in half for you. Billions of dollars, I hope you will treat them well. "

"100 million."

Chu Xuan cut through the iron.

"Chu, young people still don't take advantage of people's danger."

"100 million, my last bid."

“......"

Stan Lee is speechless, don't young people now talk about martial arts? He was so angry that he wanted to hang up the phone.

But Stan Lee also understands that the company is really bad.

If you really go to the step of bankruptcy liquidation, I am afraid that there will be no 100 million yuan sold.

At least Chu Xuan is a young man who loves movies, at least he has the ability to turn decay into magic.

Better to let him try.

Anyway, Stan Lee also decided to leave Marvel completely this year and did not do it.

According to his agreement with the company, he can get a 10% share of any Ip that Marvel is adapted.

Nothing to lose.

"I'll try it and see if I can convince the board."

"Good news from you."

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth drew a smile.

This matter is eighty percent stable.

One careless, he is about to acquire the entire Marvel?
