Chapter 1345 Content Is King

"Is it possible to buy it back?" Faced with Steve Case's inquiry, a group of big guys were speechless. Although I don't like to see this arrogant guy, but what can I say.

Comics, games, and then live-action comic adaptations. Oh my god, they found out that they had been cheated. The DC comics that were sold at a bargain price may never come back.

What kind of game can make money without losing money?

Anyone in Silicon Valley can tell you that DC or Marvel can do it. If that doesn't work, Disney can do it. As long as the computer games adapted from comic book characters are not too trashy, there is no need to worry about sales.

Which movie is the easiest to make money?

Just look at White Films and you will know that Titanic is good, but it is also very risky. A safer investment would naturally be those comic book movies.

Now you say you want to acquire DC?

Just kidding, it was trash at first, but now it's a gold mine. Looking at Disneyland now, you could just change its name to Comics Empire. If someone buys it like this, other people’s paradises won’t be able to open.

The most profitable theme park in the world is still one of a kind. So, such a cornucopia, you thought William White was crazy.

"Steve, I think this is impossible. I have learned about his past in detail. He has a very strong investment purpose and usually has long-term plans." Although he was only invited to the meeting, Stephen Ross was not stage-frightened. In his opinion, the guy opposite was more unruly than William White. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have that guy's wisdom or luck.

"Oh, I don't know. Stephen, you know, there is such a concept of IP now, and our understanding of this concept is still relatively superficial." I knew this would offend people, but there was nothing I could do about it. Steve Case was also driven into panic. Although the merger with Time Warner has not yet officially merged, there is no way to wait slowly.

It is true that Time Warner's overall strength is equivalent to White Media, or slightly better.

However, Time Warner's victory is mainly in print media. Well, if the merger with America Online is successful, I believe it will still lead in some places.

However, the development of print media seems to have reached a bottleneck.

This is actually nothing. What makes Steve Case most intolerable is the conflict of ideas. Damn it, we haven't reached the honeymoon period yet, it seems like there is a possibility of a breakup.

"Steve, we can't be in a hurry now. First of all, this acquisition has not been completed yet. Secondly, we are also making our own efforts in the use of IP." As a black brother executive, Dick Parsons certainly also Not an easy person. In fact, he was one of the directors who vigorously opposed the merger.

Regardless of the discrimination in American society, if there really is no such thing, why do you keep talking about it?

Yes, there are outstanding black brothers in all walks of life. If you compare it horizontally, you will find that there is absolutely nothing simple.

"Dick, I don't doubt Time Warner's capabilities. I wonder if we can speed up the pace in the Internet era?"

"This is not good advice, or you don't understand this industry. Dear Steve, let alone acquiring a comic book company, a movie costing tens of millions is really nothing to Internet companies. Some companies throw away money every month. The bonus will be no less than tens of millions of dollars.

However, investing in movies is not like this. "

Dick Parsons wasn't trying to humiliate this guy. In fact, he was a very pragmatic guy. Since merger is the general trend, it is actually very necessary to strengthen mutual cooperation and understanding.

Steve Case also understood that finding an excellent script was only the first step.

Even though William White has so much money, he also uses crowdfunding to make movies. Hollywood, under the seemingly glamorous surface, is actually no different from those assembly lines.

As for the value of IP, adapting comics to movies is extremely risky.

Isn’t Superman’s IP awesome enough?

The first two episodes are so-so, and as for the following ones, you can only describe them as rubbish.

If copying comic book plots can succeed, for God's sake, how can DC be sold at such a low price?

"Go on, Brian, don't pay attention to me."

"Okay, boss, tell me if there's anything inappropriate." Bryan Singer was thinking, "Boss, if you're such a great person, how can these bastards below be calm?"

Things have been going on over the years, and William White is rarely on set anymore. However, the meaning of this X-Men is different. If the opening chapter is not done well, there will be no way to enter the Marvel Universe later.

X-Men is actually an attempt. The United States has always preferred lone heroes. Anyway, the good guys are crushing them all the way, and no matter how cunning the bad guys are, they will die miserably in the end.

The X-Men is different, here it starts to talk about teamwork. Good people are not perfect, and bad people may not be that bad. To be honest, the subject matter of this comic is not flattering. Children tend to distinguish between good and evil, and they are not very patient and cooperative.

"How's it going? Is this director pretty good?"

"Tsk, there doesn't seem to be anything that catches the eye. It seems that you are the most beautiful. Natasha, how do you take care of yourself? It's really jealous."

"Bah, glib. How about that little mixed-race beauty?

Huh, don't you have any intentions? "

William White rolled his eyes. My brother is in trouble now. If possible, he should have exercised some restraint in the beginning. It's okay now. Whenever those goblins get together, my heart will start to tremble.

"Don't come here. This movie is very important. It's not just a movie. Let me tell you, the plans for computer games and console games have already completed the budget."

"Stop putting pressure on me. If you say that, I'm going to lose sleep again."

"Huh, bullshit. Now you are a gold medal producer in Hollywood. With an investment of less than 100 million, if I didn't come, you might just let the sheep go."

Natasha cursed, "I'm just kidding, I want to save a fortune for my daughter now, you think you can do whatever you want." Damn you bastard, if you weren't so carefree, I would have to work so hard.

After a set of shots was taken, William White just exchanged pleasantries for a while and did not give any instructions. Every director has his own ideas, and he may not like someone to dictate. Anyway, I don’t give you the final editing rights. If it doesn’t work, I can do it myself.

Of course, you must let them know how much you value it. Once the movie is made, the game will be easier to sell. When the boss makes money, the next drama will be possible. If you mess up the first one, there will be nothing more to come.

White Pictures doesn't offer any particularly outrageous salaries, but if the film is a hit at the box office, the main actors will also earn a lot.
