Chapter 2155 The King of the Comic World! (First Update)
The transmission of information in the United States is very rapid.
Marvel's deal involved so many people, who wouldn't let the wind out?
That is, at nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the ABC TV News Network first reported the news that Kirin Group's North American branch wholly acquired Marvel.
After all, the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields. Of course, this news means that our own people will be taken care of.
Then, other TV stations and newspapers followed suit.
People across the United States were in an uproar.
On the one hand, they were surprised by Marvel's price, Yin Jun actually gave a sky-high price of 200 million US dollars!
You know, when Yin Jun bought DC Comics, which is as famous as Marvel, last year, the price was only 82 million US dollars!
The star heroes of DC comics are much more popular than those of Marvel.
Whether it is Superman or Batman, they are the favorites of the people all over the United States.
On the Marvel side, that is, Spider-Man is the most popular, and the next Iron Man will be much inferior.
Why did the more excellent DC only spend 82 million U.S. dollars, but Marvel spent 200 million U.S. dollars?
And it actually gave the cartoonists 10% of the profits, and the management gave 50 million US dollars in rewards for 10 years, but DC comics didn't have it?
Of course, Kirin Group North America Branch issued a statement immediately.
They said that DC comics will also implement this profit sharing ratio at the same time, as well as the same 10-year 50 million bonus for the management, and they have already sent a document to inform them of this matter last night. It was not discussed and condemned by the media. out of this change.
Immediately afterwards, the management of DC Comics also came out and said that it was indeed the head office that told them last night that the conditions were synchronized and that the two companies were treated the same.
The general manager also said with a smile that they would also like to thank Marvel for being acquired, otherwise their treatment would not have been improved.
This can be considered to appease the mentality of the people.
It's just that the North American branch of Kirin Group has never given an explanation as to why it spent such a high price of 200 million US dollars to buy Marvel.
According to sources, the chairman Yin Jun personally talked about it, perhaps because he is not professional enough, or because he prefers the heroes in Marvel, so he gave it so casually.
When people heard it, they felt incredible, but at the same time they turned to wake up.
He is the richest man in the world, so what's wrong with buying things more willfully?
Besides, he is not spending on eating, drinking and having fun, but buying a company.
Anyone who understands Yin Jun knows that this man has never paid much attention to enjoyment, and it is very unlikely that you want to make him extravagant.
Even to put it more bluntly, NBC's economic commentary expert said that when Yin Jun buys a company, it has great potential for development. Even if it looks expensive to you now, it will be worth it in the future.
Isn't there a hot example now?
The Microsoft company that is about to go public is the stock that Yin Jun bought at a sky-high price.
As a result, over the past few years, the value has increased dozens of times at once, isn't it great?
After saying this, everyone nodded again and again, thinking it was right.
Yin Jun naturally had his own reasons, and he had already discussed this reason with Le Yiling, and Ye Linqinwa also knew about it.
That is Yin Jun's belief that the adaptation potential of Marvel's live-action movies is far greater than that of DC.
Le Yiling might not trust Yin Jun's abilities in other areas.
But in terms of movies, Le Yiling is absolutely convinced by Yin Jun. Since he believes so, then the fact must be like this.
At this point, Yin Jun really couldn't explain it to anyone.
He can't tell everyone that on the basis of keeping up with the special effects, when the total box office of Marvel movies exceeds 50 billion U.S. dollars, the box office of DC Comics is only 15 billion U.S. dollars, right?
It can't even reach half of Marvel. How much potential do you think DC Comics has?
It's not that DC comics are that bad, but they tend to have a dark style as a whole, which really makes many moviegoers a little uncomfortable.
Marvel's is full of passion and colorful, it seems to have a feeling of enthusiasm, of course it will be easier to spread and promote.
The difference in style between the two is destined to lead Marvel for a long time.
But Time Warner and DC are not vegetarians either.
After they found new flashpoints such as "Wonder Woman", "Suicide Squad", "Sea King", etc., the pace of catching up was very large.
There is also the "League of the Justice" of the world's number one league. Although the first film only had a box office of 660 million US dollars, with this experience and lessons, as well as the unfolding of the storyline and the appearance of each hero, it will definitely continue to rise .
Not to mention that "Justice League Dark" inspired by "Suicide Squad" is also an alternative feature. Yin Jun is very optimistic that this movie can achieve another success.
As long as DC's screenwriters don't make the mistake of too dark and absurd structure and atmosphere, then it will be successful.
During the ten years from 2018 to 2028, it is the process of DC rising and catching up.
In this process, the total box office of DC's movies may even exceed that of Marvel.
When the time comes, movie fans all over the world will be really lucky!
It's a pity that Yin Jun is just predicting, and he won't be able to see those movies after 2020 in his previous life.
So he has to do it himself in this life, and make these movies in advance, so that the comics of the two major comic companies can bloom their original charm.
It is also because the Kirin Group has a greater voice in film entertainment and has become a unique overlord!
Then the problem comes.
Yin Jun's ambition also involves the second focus of discussion among the public.
"My God, Yin Jun bought the two largest comic companies in the United States by himself. Is this a monopoly?"
"Absolute monopoly! Damn Chinese people, they want to destroy our pride!"
"I don't think it's that scary. After all, Yin Jun is still the best cartoonist in the world."
"But don't you think, if DC and Marvel are like a family, how can we see their scrambling performance and trying to overwhelm each other?"
"I don't think this is a good thing. Mr. Yin Jun is very talented, but his desire to collect everything is too strong. This is not conducive to the development of the entire comic industry!"
"You know what a fart! Only a genius like Mr. Jun can save the aging DC and Marvel!"
"I also support Mr. Jun! He will definitely reform the two major companies!"
"Why do you focus on comics? Watch movies! Movies!! Mr. Jun is best at movies! With him, now I can finally see the wonderful performances of many heroes in movies!"
"..."
Basically, the people are divided into two camps, constantly making noise, and constantly refuting each other.
Compared with the two camps of the public, those critics basically have the same tone.
That is, Yin Jun's overall layout for the film industry has become more and more obvious.
Everyone knows that comic book heroes are the next step, and Superman and Batman have proven it.
Although DC is not considered a success, there are many factors in it.
Changed to Yin Jun, many weaknesses are no longer weaknesses.
For example, Yin Jun can easily invest hundreds of millions of dollars in filming funds without worrying about any losses.
For example, in terms of special effects, Yin Jun's digital field has surpassed Industrial Light and Magic, and has become the number one special effects company in Hollywood and even the world. Yin Jun can definitely achieve special effects that other companies cannot produce.
In addition, there are more important IMAX screens, which are naturally prepared for special effects movies.
Think about it, how many years ago did Yin Jun start preparing?
Maybe at that time he was thinking of buying DC or Marvel, or even buying them together.
How terrifying is such a scheming person?
As for the distribution after the production of the film, Kirin Group also owns the largest theater chain in the world. As long as the hero film is made, it will definitely be released on the largest scale.
As long as the effect of the movie is not too bad, then the audience must be willing to buy it.
After all, the IMAX versions of movies in recent years have shown this point.
Their viewing effect is completely different from the ordinary version of the movie.
Another point is also very important.
Yin Jun is Asian, and he has natural fans in Asia.
Now as long as it is a movie produced by Kirin Group, even if it is in the United States, the box office in Asia can generally reach one-third, one-half, or even close to 70% of the box office in North America. Exciting data.
But as long as there is a movie, its box office is guaranteed by two North American box offices, and it will definitely not be bad.
However, it is a pity that only the films produced and distributed by several film companies of the Kirin Group can receive such treatment.
Movies from other film companies can have a quarter of the box office in North America at the box office in Asia, which should be worth laughing at.
Taken together, Yin Jun's purchase of DC and Marvel is definitely not a temporary idea, but a long-planned one.
With Yin Jun's intelligence, he must have thought that he could bring these two companies out of the quagmire, so he swallowed them both in half a year.
To the disappointment of the audience, what is certain is that Yin Jun's purchase of these two comic companies will not trigger anti-monopoly regulations.
In other words, these two companies will belong to Yin Jun's private property in the future.
If Yin Jun's "Kirin Weekly" is counted, it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe him as the manga market that has dominated the world.
"So, we can add another title to the world's richest man - the king of the comic world!"
The conclusion comment of the famous anchor of CNN News Network is the most representative evaluation of this acquisition!
Both critics and comic fans agree with this conclusion very much!
Yin Jun is the well-deserved king of the comic world! !
