Chapter 1990 An Unusual Adjustment
Palmater looked at Feng Yiping with a cold face again.
"Come on, come again?" Feng Yiping waved his hand, not bothering to look at him, picked up the document, and started flipping through it.
Palmater looked at him for a while, then looked at Vincent who was still eating cookies and looking at him blankly. His cold face suddenly turned into a smile, "Okay, I admit it."
"I admit, I wanted you to bring some different changes to Marvel. This is why I didn't meet people from Disney later,"
"It's not that you don't see the people at Disney, it's that the people at Disney don't see you," Feng Yiping emphasized. "For them, there are more important goals than Marvel,"
Palmater seemed not to have heard Feng Yiping's words, "I can actually guess how Marvel will develop after joining Disney, but if it is acquired by you, how will you adjust? To be honest, I can't guess. "
"But what is certain is that after being acquired by Disney, the changes may be clichéd and life may be dull, but Marvel's development will not experience ups and downs,"
"But if I am acquired by you, I think there are two possibilities, either a big rise or a big fall."
"No, no, no," Feng Yiping shook his head again, "It's just a big deal. When have you ever seen me making fun of a company worth billions of dollars?"
"I can tell you that in terms of means, we may take an unusual path, but the result is only one, and that is, Marvel will become more brilliant day by day,"
Palmater spread his hands, "Okay, whatever you want to say, maybe it's because I've been cautious all my life, maybe it's because I'm optimistic about the potential of Netflix and YouTube, but I can't see their development clearly. In short, I think, since I have the opportunity, , why not play with the heartbeat?"
Now Feng Yiping looked at him coldly.
"Anyway, if it turns out that my choice is wrong, then your reputation will also be ruined. Everyone will think that your good vision is no longer good, and there is something wrong with your control."
This old fox made it sound like his decision to let Feng Yiping acquire Marvel was a risky move. In fact, he was sure that Feng Yiping would bring some unusual changes to Marvel and achieve unusual achievements?
Just like the Middle East war he participated in, it seemed that Israel did not have the upper hand, but everyone knew that the United States was standing behind Israel, so the result was that they undoubtedly won again.
But he is right. When Feng Yiping acts now, he will definitely consider the impact on his reputation, which is actually his personal brand image. Therefore, he will not mess up the first film company he acquired no matter what. , On the contrary, he will definitely find ways to bring some extraordinary positive changes to this company.
"So, when I agreed to your acquisition of Marvel, I was looking forward to the adjustments you would make, and I had already decided on it. As long as it is what you want to do, I will definitely support it,"
"It's time for Marvel to change, but there were many constraints before. Because of your acquisition, many of them cashed out and left. So," he looked at the plan Feng Yiping gave him, " Do it, I support you,”
Seeing his statement like this, Feng Yiping also breathed a sigh of relief.
The most important thing for such an adjustment is to obtain Palmater's consent, because indeed, as he said, this adjustment plan has never been done before in Hollywood, and it needs Palmater's support to be effectively implemented at Marvel.
Another reason is that this adjustment will dilute some of Palmater's power in the first place. What Feng Yiping doesn't want to see the most is to forcefully implement it by himself, and then Palmater will make various stumbling blocks and plunge Marvel into Internal friction.
But to his relief, Palmater never mentioned this.
Of course, maybe Palmater has already recognized the situation and knows that in the face of such a big change, he must give up some of his rights no matter what.
All in all, this is a good result.
"Thank you Palmater," Feng Yiping stood up and held his hand. He looked at his watch, "Then tonight, I will go to the company to attend the executive meeting. If there is anything else that needs to be done, I will leave it to you."
In fact, this is also a polite statement. As long as he and Palmater reach a consensus, there are objections in Marvel, so it doesn't matter, just clean it up.
"No problem," Palmater said.
However, when Feng Yiping sent him out, he didn't know whether he looked at the two girls following him and felt a little angry, or whether he was really worried, "Feng, your decision will definitely make us a Hollywood star." the laughing stock,"
"Don't you still know this truth? What's important is who laughs last, and that must be us,"
Collins and Alba understood that the reason why they were at war with each other just now was probably because of the adjustments Feng Yiping decided to make to Marvel.
From what Palmater meant, this seemed like an unusual adjustment.
"Fon, you're great. Palmater objected so excitedly, but he was finally convinced by you," Collins shouted as soon as Palmater's car left.
Alba thought to herself, in your opinion, what else is not great about him?
"Don't you see, Mr. Palmater is probably one of Marvel's most senior actors, and his acting skills are beyond ordinary,"
"ah?"
"Vincent, tell Dad, what impressed you most about the meeting just now, or what did you learn?" he asked his son.
Vincent, holding his sister's hand, looked up, thought seriously for a long time, and said very concisely, "Don't blink,"
…………
At this time, the news that Feng Yiping arrived in Hollywood was no longer a secret.
Although it seemed that the whole Hollywood reacted coldly to this, and the reporters who followed him were not even as many as the last time he went to sea, in fact, the six major studios, including Disney, were waiting to see what kind of drama he would play in Marvel.
Michael Eisner, who was about to step down from Disney, and his confirmed successor, Robert Iger, were in the most complicated mood at this time.
On the one hand, they had to pretend that they didn't care about everything related to Marvel. After all, everyone wanted to save face.
It is estimated that if a reporter came to Burbank to interview on related issues at this time, not to mention Eisner, even Iger would drive out such an ignorant guy.
On the other hand, they actually paid more attention to the subsequent development than anyone else.
How Feng Yiping would adjust after taking over Marvel was undoubtedly the focus of their attention.
The adjustments made by Feng Yiping, compared with the adjustments they originally planned to make to Marvel, will give them a great reference.
Feng Yiping's vision and ability are undoubtedly excellent, but because he was engaged in different industries before, it was not very intuitive. This time, he intervened in the field that Disney is best at. They expect Feng Yiping's adjustments to Marvel to bring them different inspirations.
These are positive expectations.
On the other hand, they may have secretly thought in their hearts that Feng Yiping, the guy who defeated them in the Marvel acquisition war, would make some amateur decisions about Marvel that everyone could not help but bear.
Isn't Disney laughed at because it has never competed with you, but the biggest joke would be that Marvel chose to let an amateur acquire itself.
There are more than one or two people who hold such an unhealthy mentality.
To say that Hollywood has not had much good feelings towards Silicon Valley recently, because those guys always don't play by the rules.
We make our movies, you make your electronic products and the Internet, everyone lives in peace and makes money in their own fields, this is harmony, right?
However, those guys in Silicon Valley always go beyond the boundaries and always worry about irrelevant things.
First, there was Steve Jobs, the representative of Silicon Valley, who casually developed the computer animation department acquired from Lucas into the most successful animation film company in the world. Not only did he win numerous awards, but the box office of the animations he produced made many big-budget movies with luxurious star lineups blush.
It can be said that it was a slap in the face of these professional filmmakers.
Then there was Hastings, the guy who founded Netflix, which can now be said to have a profound impact on the operating performance of all Hollywood studios.
A fact that they are not willing to accept and admit is that, especially in terms of secondary sales, it is useless to think which movies are good, which movies Netflix thinks are good, and which movies Netflix recommends to users, and those movies are really good.
For profit considerations, Netflix always pays more attention to purchasing the copyrights of some unpopular movies, and rarely spends a high price to buy some popular movies, that is, big movies produced by studios at a huge cost.
The key is that the copyrights of those unpopular movies purchased by Netflix are often unexpectedly good in the end.
Unpopular movies can sell so well, so if they want, popular movies will naturally sell better, but Netflix just doesn't do that - so if you spend more money and purchase some of our big productions, will you die?
The embarrassing thing is that at present, they, who seem to be the decisive parties in this business, don't have much say in this matter.
Because Blockbuster is not competitive, especially in the DVD sales of movies, Netflix can be said to play a decisive role.
Now, YouTube has emerged and quickly achieved success. The key is that YouTube and Netflix both belong to Feng Yiping, which will only make them have more and more say in the film market, not just DVD sales, including publicity and distribution, and their influence is also growing.
Now you have simply acquired Marvel, so do you want to simply abandon us and take all the profits from all links into your own pocket?
To put it more radically, Feng Yiping is now regarded as a barbarian standing at the door in the minds of many behind-the-scenes bosses in Hollywood.
Many people are eagerly looking forward to Feng Yiping doing something amateurish to make them happy.
But the one who pays the most attention to Feng Yiping is naturally Marvel, which now belongs to him.
Although everyone seems to be no different from usual on the surface, in fact, everyone below Palmat is very upset.
Unlike other people in Hollywood, they are happy first.
Before agreeing to be acquired by Feng Yiping, Marvel has also contacted various banks and consortiums in many ways, hoping that they can provide financial support so that Marvel can also produce some hit movies like Sony and Fox.
However, all the investors who have been contacted have put forward very harsh, harsh and insulting preconditions.
The most representative one is Merrill Lynch's condition: they can lend you money, but the production cost of each of your films must not exceed $120 million.
It is said that they also have a minimum requirement for box office revenue.
What freedom is there?
After being acquired by the well-known rich Feng Yiping, Marvel doesn't have to worry about funding at least.
On the other hand, they have expectations based on Feng Yiping's good vision.
What kind of changes will Feng bring to Marvel? As usual, what kind of measures has he prepared for us? You know, after he acquired the company before, he always followed up with some favorable measures, such as Coin Star and Netflix.
The most important thing is, what kind of opportunities will you have in these changes and adjustments.
No one in the workplace will be content with mediocrity, and such a big move of being acquired naturally contains many opportunities to save you from mediocrity.
Palmat hurried out, Palmat came back excitedly... This touched the hearts of many people, and then they learned that Feng would come to the company to attend the executive meeting tonight instead of tomorrow.
For a time, many people's hearts were lifted.
