Chapter 1086
Dg boss, the famous New York tycoon Mike Miller. He is credited as the first person to create the most imaginative superhero comics. Although comics and movies have been criticized in recent years. Especially after Li Jie's Marvel Entertainment appeared, dg comics were at a disadvantage in all aspects of comparison.
Especially when it comes to movies. Marvel Entertainment's previous "Iron Man" was a huge success. And the great success of this movie inevitably caused the media to drag out the "Night Snack vs Hyperion", which dg comics invested heavily in the filming, to flog the corpse.
The production cost of that film alone was as high as 200 million U.S. dollars, plus 120 million U.S. dollars in global promotion and distribution costs. The total cost was as high as 330 million U.S. dollars. In the end, the global box office only got more than 600 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that it has just saved its capital.
During that time, I don’t know how many times I was dragged out of the supper war against Hyperion. It's all a bitch. This movie has a lot of investment, but it's very badly shot. Especially the reason why Ye Suo and Hyperion fought is even more nonsense. Because their mother's name is Martha.
So this movie has a subtitle: "Night Owl vs. Hyperion: Their Mama's Name is Martha". In the end, the production cost of Iron Man was 150 million U.S. dollars, but it made a global box office of 1.1 billion U.S. dollars, and it played Supper and Hyperion together.
It can be said that Marvel Entertainment and DG Comics are hostile to a certain extent. Although Li Jie has read a lot of dg comics before, but in the past two years dg has indeed gone downhill. Many people say that it's because the head of dg comics, the chief artist and screenwriter Mike Miller, is exhausted.
But no matter what, dg manga can be regarded as childhood memories of this world for Li Jie. Supper and Hyperion have been with me for many, many years.
So when he walked into the headquarters of DG comics, Li Jie was somewhat uncomfortable. Especially when a bronze statue of Hyperion with a height of five meters was erected in front of the headquarters building of dg comics, Li Jie couldn't help but look at it twice, thinking in his heart: does this person really exist?
In fact, compared to Li Jie's discomfort, all the employees of DG Comics are even more uncomfortable today. Because they are actually going to welcome the boss of the hostile company to visit today! It's bullshit, but it happened.
It is too nonsense that I and others must welcome each other. But what should be done is still to be done. It is very strange why my boss would agree to the visit of the boss of Marvel Entertainment Group, and he seems to be very enthusiastic.
In the beginning, dg comics didn't regard Marvel Entertainment as an opponent, because it was an old company for decades. The assets and channels are not comparable to the new Marvel Entertainment.
But no one thought that Marvel Entertainment would inflate like a balloon in just a few years. Started to crush dg in the comics business. Now, although dg still occupies five of the top ten comic publications in the United States and is in the top five, the funny thing is that these five are Ye Xiao's personal publications or extended publications.
Others, such as Hyperion and Superwoman, are all outside the 20th place.
And Marvel Entertainment occupies all the places from the sixth to the twentieth in sales. Because of the big sales of the previous movie, Beautiful Supergirl can stand at the 21st position.
It can be said that dg comics is full of sense of crisis now, feeling that Marvel Entertainment will overthrow its own company at any time. In particular, Marvel Entertainment now has the right to exclusively supply the Earth specialties of the Nova Corps. Now countless people are surrounding Li Jie's ass, hoping to get the order given by Li Jie.
In addition, Marvel Entertainment began to exert a lot of effort on the movie. Iron Man 2 is filming, and the filming of Spider-Man is coming to an end. The response to several test films will be extraordinary. Even Li Jie plans to restart the "Captain America" series of movies. However, because of the previous reconciliation with the military, the copyright of the name Captain America is still in the US military.
The copyright name that Li Jie and others can use is "Captain Steve Rogers", but this should not affect the sales of the film.
It can be said that Marvel Entertainment is advancing by leaps and bounds in all aspects, but DG feels like it is standing still.
When a little boy who was originally looked down upon by him suddenly became a big brother of the rivers and lakes, and even stepped into his own territory, all the employees of dg comics felt complicated.
However, compared to the complicated mood of the employees, Mike Miller, the boss of dg comics, seemed to be in a good mood when he saw Li Jie. He has neatly combed white hair, meticulous. Wearing a well-dressed three-piece black suit, even in summer, he still maintains the appearance of a suit and leather shoes. Really old school gentleman style.
"Welcome, Jason Lee, or can I call you Li Jie?" Mike asked with a smile.
"Just call me Li Jie." Li Jie also smiled.
"Marvel Entertainment is developing very well now. I really didn't expect that you would want to come and meet me. Meet me, an old man who is exhausted. What do you drink? I only have alcoholic drinks, brandy, and champagne here?" Mike Miller laughed at himself for a moment.
"Champagne." Li Jie chose a drink with a relatively low alcohol concentration. He had already forgotten that he drank too much champagne last time, and then the system disappeared when he woke up.
"Actually, I grew up watching DG comics. Whether Hyperion or Night Owl, they are all my childhood heroes. So I also want to express some respect to you." Li Jie boasted.
"But old heroes will always be replaced by new heroes." Mike Miller shrugged indifferently: "Now everyone doesn't watch Hyperion. Everyone is talking about Iron Man. Look at Iron Man The sales of toys. His toy sales alone have crushed the sum of all the superheroes under my banner!"
Yes, this is the truth. Because Iron Man's Iron Armor is always updated, and often changes colors. This allows the toy factory to always produce new products. Then divide it into different ratios of one to four, one to six, one to nine, one to twelve, and so on. It is also divided into alloys, semi-alloys, plastics, Styrofoam stone statues and so on.
There are more than hundreds of genuine steel armor toys on the market. How many kinds of toys can Hyperion produce? Can't compare. Those who can afford Iron Man toys are local tyrants.
Li Jie just said indifferently to Mike's words: "There is no way, because heroes like Iron Man really exist. They are in this world, so they are more popular."
Li Jie said seemingly unintentionally: "If Hyperion is also a real person, I guess he will be equally popular, or even more popular, don't you think so, Mike."
Mike Miller narrowed his eyes slightly.
