Chapter 553 Still Too Young
Li Jie watched Michael put forward his own suggestion: "I'll tell you the truth, Michael. I have my own ideas about Marvel."
"I have no objection to making movies, but there are some things that need to be discussed. I will not transfer my copyright. Not even the right to adapt it. I need to be responsible for the hero image under my banner." Li Jie's words made Michael frowned brow.
Because in this case, Disney's interests cannot be maximized, and it is not the best choice for him.
"Perhaps you just think that I own the copyrights of these well-known heroes?" Li Jie said after taking a sip of his coffee.
"Is there anything else?" Michael was a little curious.
"Of course, just like my purpose of starting this company, the world needs heroes." Li Jie smiled.
"In addition to these well-known heroes, I also own the copyrights of many New York vigilantes, including the Justice League (the one of Kick-Ass). They may not be worth much now, but what about in the future?"
"In addition to shooting superheroes, Disney can even shoot some trivial things about civilian heroes. I think this is also a good subject for Disney."
Michael shook his head noncommittally: "But that's for later. Let's talk about the copyright of Spider-Man."
"About the image of heroes, you don't need to worry about anything. I know that you can get the copyright of these heroes. In any case, this is a trust for you. I understand this very well. But you don't need to I'm worried that Disney will do something bad. You should understand Disney's filming principles." Michael leaned on the back of his chair and said.
Li Jie nodded: "Yes, I understand, [KeepPg] is a happy family, death is allowed but no blood is allowed. Excessive violence and sexual elements are rejected. It is also because of Disney's filming principles that we can sit here .”
"To be honest, Marvel is not short of money Michael. Although my company is still small, the rumors in the market are true. The Osborn Group and the Stark Group are the big money behind it. I can be blunt Let me tell you that the investment department of the Osborne Group will conduct the next round of financing for Marvel, with funds exceeding US$1.5 billion. Tony Stark’s private Horizon Fund has also begun to invest in the company with an estimated amount of No less than Osborne Group."
Michael looked at Li Jie in surprise, there was no news about these things before.
Of course, with the relationship between Li Jie, Harry and Tony, there are many things that don’t require a huge negotiating team to negotiate, and sometimes an outdoor barbecue can negotiate such a large investment of more than one billion US dollars. .
In fact, now that this matter has entered the final stage, Marvel's expansion is imperative, especially after the Battle of New York. Investing in Marvel is a good choice no matter from the perspective of personal relationship or the interests of the group.
"In fact, even if you don't come here, Marvel's plan to make a movie will be put on the agenda, and it won't take too long, especially after the Battle of New York." Li Jie said calmly that made Michael uneasy.
Michael looked at Li Jie: "But Marvel doesn't know anything about Hollywood, right?"
"Yes, I don't deny that. But Hollywood doesn't have other options besides the six major film studios. Whether it's Disney or Warner, it's really strong in the entertainment industry." Li Jie glanced at Michael with deep meaning in his eyes. .
"But Jaeqiang is just an entertainment company." Michael's heart skipped a beat when he said this.
"Mr. Michael, you should look at my copyrighted superheroes in a different light. They are not Hollywood stars, whether it is Leonardo or Tom Cruise for those stars. They are in People in the circle are just entertainment circles after all.”
"No matter how good they are, Disney, Warner, MGM, Paramount, etc. are insurmountable mountains in front of them. Compared to them, they are people in the circle, and you are the rule-makers of the circle, Michael You are the most powerful person in Hollywood, so you can tell them everything. Even if there are conflicts, at least they will not do anything that you really regret."
"Even if you tear your face apart, you will lose some money at most, and your reputation will be bad." Li Jie didn't even look at Michael when he said this, he just talked to himself.
"But look who are these superheroes under me? They are not superstars living off of Hollywood. There are super rich, government agents, Captain Rogers if nothing else because this incident will gain real power in the government. the right to become a powerful person.”
"Street heroes are not so easy to deal with. There are murderous ex-mercenaries, scavengers used in the underground front, and dark heroes who clean up the top gang organizations in the United States. Do you think Disney can really handle them?" Li Jie turned his head and glanced at Michael with a smile.
Michael didn't know if there was any irony in Li Jie's smile, maybe there was? He's not sure.
"Do you think that if there are any deviations in movies and reports in the future, you can take the responsibility? Even the best-spoken Spider-Man has a night watchman organization behind him." Li Jie broke Michael's choice of Spider-Man Intention as the first adapted hero.
In the final analysis, Spider-Man is a little easier to bully.
"Pattern, Tucson breaks." Li Jie said lightly. This made Michael feel a little harsh, but he still held back, because he felt that what Li Jie said had some truth.
I really don't know how this kid got involved with Tony Stark. He seems to have a good relationship with Captain Rogers. Without the help of these two people, I am afraid that his Marvel company will not be able to continue. Michael thought so, of course there are some deviations from the real situation.
"So, Disney wants to make a hero movie. I welcome it with all my hands. It's just that it's impossible to give you the right to adapt all of them. It's not good to make a one-shot deal. It's not good for me, and it's probably even worse for you." Li Jie didn't elaborate. What's worse, but Michael thinks about things like splattering, welding doors, and spraying red paint, and he shudders (Huh? How do these things sound so familiar?).
"So, let's share the agreement. Marvel and Disney can become strategic partners." Li Jie looked at Michael and put forward his opinion.
………………………
The meeting with Michael lasted for more than an hour, and after the general direction was finalized, it was some small details. But that requires a detailed plan and the involvement of a lawyer.
Obviously, this cannot be finished in one day. Li Jie has already contacted Daredevil Ma, and asked him to be ready to take the case of the legal counsel for this business negotiation.
Li Jie was also relieved to be able to roughly determine the direction of these things. The movie will definitely be made, but he hasn't decided who to make first. This requires thinking.
And at this moment, his personal phone rang.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"It's me, Wade Wilson! I heard that Michael Eisner is looking for you! Are you going to make a movie?! Are you going to make "Deadpool"!"
Wait, as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Deadpool, you are too busy!
