Chapter 2154 Marvel Has Arrived!

Martin Goodman didn't wait until day three.

The next night, he called Yin Jun, and on behalf of all the shareholders of the company, he agreed to Yin Jun's acquisition plan.

The same is true of Yin Jun's conjecture.

As long as his children know his offer, it is impossible to miss it.

They must have been afraid that Yin Jun would change his mind and stop paying such a high price.

After all, only a fool can give such a high valuation of 200 million US dollars.

Including the authors and editors of Marvel, they also think so.

Because Yin Jun gave them even more generously.

In fact, even if Yin Jun only used 200 million US dollars to acquire the shares in their hands, they would have been satisfied for a long time.

With 10% income and a 10-year dividend of 5,000, do you think they will feel that a pie has fallen from the sky?

Under the combined effect of the three aspects, Martin Goodman will not be able to persist for one more day.

Klauti immediately joined Yin Jun and led the team to sign the contract with them. The transfer of funds was completed early the next morning, and the transaction was officially successful.

Originally, a mere $200 million business didn't need a bigwig like Klauti to do it.

But as long as it is Yin Jun's affairs, Colaudie will do it himself, which is why Yin Jun appreciates him very much.

This person is serious and sensible enough, you will be embarrassed if you don't take care of his business.

So on the third day of the Oscars ceremony, that is, on March 31, Marvel officially belonged to Yin Jun in a legal sense.

The rest is just some small formalities.

Holding the contract signed last night, Yin Jun felt at ease.

Starting today, almost 80% of American hero movies belong to us!

Although several comic companies still have hundreds of heroes, large and small, the main and most popular heroes are already in their own hands.

This is a great thing.

It was not like this in the previous life.

After Marvel Corporation in the previous life was bought by Ryan Pedrin this year, because of the repayment of various debts, Ryan Pedrin ignored the objections of Stan Lee and the others, and insisted on renewing the copyrights of some heroes one after another. sold to another company.

This is also an important reason that directly led to Stan Lee's group exodus.

The first to be sold was the copyright of "Fantastic Four", which were bought by the Constantine Company.

Later, the first episode of "Fantastic Four" filmed by Constantine's company was pretty good and made a lot of money.

As a result, the second episode just jumped straight away, and I don't know why.

Oh, by the way, the young man who played the role of Flame Man was later the famous American team.

Unexpectedly, after a hero is finished by him, he can actually play another more famous hero, which is really unimaginable.

Then in 1994, when Marvel was about to go bankrupt, 20th Century Fox took advantage of the crisis and bought the copyrights of "X-Men" and "Wolverine".

The contract stipulates that if they do not start filming within 7 years, then all the copyrights of the heroes in this series will be returned to Marvel.

As a result, of course everyone knows that 20th Century Fox has made a dozen movies in a row by virtue of the "X-Men" series and "Wolverine" series, and it has really made a lot of money.

Just a few million dollars, in exchange for a total box office of more than 10 billion US dollars, 20th Century Fox really made a lot of money!

At the same time, Constantine's "Fantastic Four" was not returned to Marvel, but was resold by them to 20th Century Fox.

In addition to these heroes, 20th Century Fox also bought a hero who was not very eye-catching at the time, but turned out to be amazing when it was shot-"Deadpool"!

The two "Deadpool" movies are both R-rated, but the box office quickly exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, setting a box office record for a movie of this level, which left everyone a little dumbfounded.

And the top three most popular little spiders in the United States, that is, Spider-Man, have not escaped the prodigal loser of Marvel.

In 1999, under the leadership of Amy Pascal, Sony Corporation spent a huge sum of 7 million yuan to buy the copyright of "Spider-Man".

But the later development, everyone can see clearly that the little spider has become the lifeline of Sony Pictures. In more than ten years, it has changed 3 Spider-Man and filmed 8 "Spider-Man" The total box office of the movie exceeded 8 billion US dollars!

These two deals really made Marvel want to hit the wall.

If they can get it themselves, the box office close to 20 billion US dollars is theirs.

Not to mention various alliance movies, such as the "Avengers" series, where you can see heroes such as Spider, Wolverine, etc., the box office is much higher.

Even after that, in "Avengers 2", Sony allowed Spider-Man to return to the Avengers camp, but that's not as refreshing and convenient as using it yourself, right?

Well, Sony isn't a nice guy either.

In addition to buying the little spider, they also bought the copyright of another hero—Venom.

This "Venom" was released in 2018, with a global box office of 855 million US dollars, and Niubi was in a mess!

Therefore, it makes sense for the later Marvel fans to curse the previous management, especially Ryan Pedrene.

But let's look at it from another angle.

In the most critical years of Marvel, it is these heroes who are constantly selling that can make them tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, these heroes will definitely be divided up by many companies when they go bankrupt and liquidated.

At that time, the dispersion was even more serious, and you couldn't see the heroes in the future "Avengers" appearing at all.

So there was no other way, and most of the heroes were finally preserved.

What's more, these heroes were sold to other companies, which is not without any benefits for movie fans.

If all of these heroes are developed by the Marvel Studios, what do you think their energy should be spent on?

Because there are too many heroes to be filmed and released, they will stop the production of many hero movies for a long time. "Spider-Man" is not bad if you can see one in five years.

The same goes for X-Men, Venom, Deadpool, and more.

It's not like the three companies are producing at the same time, and several hero movies are released every once in a while, which makes us movie fans more refreshing to watch.

Even for a third-rate hero combination like "Guardians of the Galaxy", we may not see their production plan until 2020. When will we see such a cute little tree man Groot?

All right.

These are all things from the previous life, and the exodus of these heroes in this life will never happen.

What's more, with the strong financial support of Kirin Group's North American branch, an average of three to five hero films are shot and released at the same time a year without any problems.

Those Hollywood companies, even the giants, actually have very tight capital chains.

They spend two to three hundred million dollars to make a movie, and they all take great risks.

Even if the filming of one film does not go well, or the release results are not good, it will greatly affect their plans.

For example, the "Superman" series in the previous life, and the "Batman" series.

Entering the era of special effects heroes after 2010, it is a bit shameful that the box office results of their two top two heroes are not as good as those of Wolverine, Spiderman, and Captain America.

That is because their box office was unsatisfactory, so after 2015, Time Warner was very careful about the movies of these two heroes, and basically did not restart their series for 3 years.

It's just that there's a Batman v Superman out there.

But it's not these two superheroes who rank first or second in the United States that are booming in this movie, but Wonder Woman who only played less than 20 minutes!

So Time Warner decisively and temporarily gave up Superman and Batman, and started filming "Wonder Woman".

As a result, the global box office of 822 million US dollars fully proves that Time Warner's decision is very correct.

In fact, if Time Warner has money, they will open another movie with three people in the same frame, or use Superman and Batman to bring out another popular hero.

However, a superhero movie worth 100 to 200 million dollars is not easy to do at all, and there are huge risks, they have to take this into consideration.

But here with Yin Jun, he has no scruples at all.

The teenager knows exactly which movie will make money and which movie will lose money.

Even for Yin Jun, there is a better way to save investment.

In fact he's already doing it.

That is to sign a long-term contract with actors who can play heroic roles in advance.

For example, Robert Downey Jr.'s 20 films in 30 years were prepared for his "Iron Man" series and "Avengers" series.

Otherwise, his salary alone in these movies may reach 50 million, 80 million, or even 100 million US dollars.

Otherwise, why do you think "Iron Man 4" couldn't come out for so long?

It is because Robert Downey Jr. opened his mouth and demanded 100 million US dollars in remuneration and dividends.

You said that no matter how rich Marvel and Disney's father is, he wouldn't dare to agree like this, right?

It is extremely dangerous that your salary for a single star accounts for one-third or even half of the film production cost.

The more money invested in the remuneration, the lower the production cost of the movie itself will be, so the attractiveness of the movie will decrease, and the box office will be better guaranteed.

Of course, there is another way, and that is to continuously increase the film production budget.

This is what "Avengers 3" did. After adding post-production and actors' remuneration, its production cost was as high as 350 million US dollars! It's not only 250 million US dollars written on Baidu!

This is not counting its global promotion fee of more than 100 million US dollars.

With such a high investment, the result was a total box office of 2.1 billion US dollars in the world. Marvel's venture was successful, and it has already made a lot of money at the box office, not to mention the benefits in peripheral products such as DVDs and TV copyrights.

But this is also because Marvel saw the great appeal of these heroes and the huge influence of this IP, so they dared to invest heavily.

If it were any other movie, I would not dare to offer a production cost of 450 million U.S. dollars, because it is really crazy.

Once it fails, Disney Dad may also be very overwhelmed!

Yin Jun is not so used to these stars.

He will imitate how Marvel treats Captain America and Black Widow, and pays up to 500,000 and 1 million US dollars for a movie.

Then wait until the profit is made, and then take out a certain percentage of the profit to distribute dividends to everyone.

That's the best way to make movies.

In this way, wouldn't the money saved be able to make a few more good movies?
