Chapter 1796 Unexpected

“The opportunity to expand your global reach,” Jim said.

"worldwide?"

"Yes, it's the whole world," Jim opened his hands and raised his head to the sky, looking full of pride.

Perhaps his performance was too exaggerated and not very contagious. Alba did not follow his train of thought. She stretched out her hand and drew a small circle, "Can I focus on domestic and Hollywood first to increase my influence?" force?"

The excited Jim's face suddenly stiffened, "Old man, this is a bit heartbreaking."

But who put themselves in this line of work?

"Of course, the most important thing is to increase your influence in Hollywood, but especially this year, do you still need to worry about this job?"

"Think about it, you have three movies released this year, whether it's "Fantastic Four", "Blue Sea" or "Sin City", which one has not accumulated a lot of popularity now?"

"As soon as it is released, you will immediately fly into the clouds with a 'swoosh' sound and quickly become a top-notch player, especially "Sin City", right? Not to mention that the industry is generally optimistic about this film, just think of Bruce Willi Si, think about Owen Cliff, being able to cooperate with them means a kind of success in itself, doesn’t it?”

If we look at it from a later perspective, the partners in Alba's other two films to be released this year are also not simple.

"Blue Sea" not only has a huge investment, but also has a hot plot. The male protagonist is Paul Walker.

Needless to say, the popularity of "Fantastic Four" is huge. Stan Lee, the soul of Marvel and a keen guest star in Marvel movies, is in the film this time, playing a serious role for the first time. This shows his optimism and attention.

Alba's younger brother in the film, the "Human Torch" who has the ability to control fire, is the later famous "Captain America", Chris Evans.

Alba is actually very concerned about the reaction after this year's release. This is the first time in her many years in the industry that there may be a blowout in all aspects.

But as great as the hopes and expectations are, there is pressure.

If, or in other words, her performance this year is not as expected, then her future in Hollywood will definitely not be so optimistic. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to star in such a blockbuster with such a large investment and the actress's plastic surgery. Opportunity.

Optimistically, it would be nice to have some people who just play the role of flower vase in the future.

Alba closed her eyes, "I hope it's as optimistic as you expected,"

"Sure," Jim sat down next to her.

What is important to Alba is naturally also important to him. "But if there is an opportunity to increase your influence in other regions, we must seize it, right?"

"That's what you said?" Alba said to Jim that she would seize the opportunity to promote the area, making some guesses.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. In the past two days, Jim had arranged several interviews with her. The purpose was simply to stir up the gossip while the article was still popular.

But his arrangements were flatly rejected by Alba.

"You mean China?"

"Yes," Jim stood up again, "We didn't expect how attractive Mr. Feng would be in China. We all know that some Chinese media also reprinted the news, but you know, because For that news, nearly five million Chinese people have searched for your relevant information on the Internet these days,"

"Nearly five million people?" Alba sat up.

Considering the huge population base in the country, the attention of these millions of people is really nothing. But for Alba, it is absolutely gratifying that a piece of news has attracted the deep attention of so many people. thing.

"Yes, there should be more than 500 people now. There are too many Chinese people who pay close attention to Mr. Feng's every move, and he has never had such rumors with a female star before,"

In fact, there was another time when Feng Yiping was tricked. However, that time it was not widely spread and the audience was limited.

"Then, your previous works have received widespread attention," Jim glanced at Alba, "especially the "Dictionary Lover","

Alba has always strictly controlled the scale in her films, and Dictionary Lover can be said to be the largest film she has ever made in all her years in the industry.

Her first reaction at this time was to look at herself. Well, fortunately, it had only been two years and her figure was still great, or in other words, better than then.

Jim looked at Alba with some confusion, what is your reaction?

"I know you don't want to spend money on Mr. Feng, but Jesse, living nearby means living close," Jim said very directly, "and some windows of opportunity, once missed, will never come to you again. You open it,"

Alba was still a little hesitant.

"Of course, I have also considered your appeal, so this time, I just helped you with a few interviews. The one in Hong Kong has a very good influence."

What Jim was talking about was the talk show on Phoenix TV. "It's also high-end in positioning. It's not the kind that uses gossip as its selling point. It will never arouse Mr. Feng's resentment."

"Actually, this is also the producer's request,"

"Um?"

"Yes, you heard it right, Marvel called me and I hope you can go to China to attend a series of promotional activities during the release of Fantastic Four in China,"

The guys in Hollywood are just as capable as Feng Yiping, who is always fussy, in terms of how to fully exploit the benefits of a thing.

Alba suddenly became popular in China, and Fantastic Four is scheduled to be released in China in September this year. How can she miss such a good publicity opportunity?

Asking Alba to accept interviews with some Chinese media now is just a preparation for the future, and also a way to take the opportunity to deepen the Chinese audience's understanding of her.

"So Jesse, such a request really cannot be refused," Jim said.

In the production company of Fantastic Four, in addition to Marvel, there is also 20th Century Fox Film Company, and the distribution work is all undertaken by 20th Century Fox. Alba does not have the capital to negotiate with Marvel or Fox now.

But Alba felt a little strange, "Now only arrange for me to accept such a high-end interview?"

It is said that those gossip media have no moral integrity, but Alba knows better that in the face of possible huge benefits, these Hollywood film companies have no moral integrity at all.

There are too many directions and potentials to explore in this scandal. Why do they seem to have given up on exploring potential in this regard?

Jim was naturally puzzled. When have these movie giants been so open and aboveboard?

"Isn't this better? Such an arrangement will not embarrass you, right?"

"And I heard that Feng may actively cooperate with your promotion work in China,"

Alba's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"We don't know the relationship between the big guys, but Marvel did say so,"

Alba no longer hesitated, "Okay, I will cooperate with the company's arrangement,"

…………

Why did Marvel say this? Naturally, it was because Isaac Perlmutter was about to meet Cummins. As for the reason for this meeting, both parties knew it well.

And everyone knew that such a matter, whether it could be negotiated or not, would not be a matter of one or two days.

Adhering to the principle of not using it for nothing, Marvel was ready to put forward this item separately. They were also very sure that in order to make the negotiations go smoothly, Feng Yiping would readily agree to their request.

At this time, Cummins, who was about to leave for New York, was still making various preparations for the talks.

The floor where the M&A department is located is quite chaotic, with a lot of information placed next to many people's desks.

For such a merger, not all information can be easily obtained online, especially the core of everyone's current statistics: how many comic characters Marvel has, and superhero teams like the Fantastic Four.

There is also a group that is integrating information from all parties to count the characters that Marvel has sold the copyright for.

The task of the group that collects personal information about Isaac Perlmutter and analyzes his personality and style of doing things based on this is not easy at all. In fact, because of Perlmutter's style of doing things, they also used a lot of gossip in the process of collecting relevant information.

At this time, even Cummins, who was looking at the latest opinions of the M&A team, did not know that Disney's Iger had already arrived in New York, and an unexpected blocking battle was quietly perfecting various preparations...

The head was raised high
