Chapter 1996 The Laughing Stock

"Thank you, Leticia," Feng Yiping handed the coat to Leticia, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I tried to persuade him many times, but Vincent kept saying that he would wait for you to come back," Leticia said.

Feng Yiping was stunned, "What?" He looked at his watch, it was almost 11 o'clock, "Isn't he still asleep?"

"Yes," Leticia nodded.

"Have a good rest," Feng Yiping nodded to Wu Qian and walked quickly towards the little ones' bedroom.

The door to the children's bedroom was half open, with soft light coming from the door. Feng Yiping walked gently sideways.

Amanda was sleeping soundly, and beside her bed, Vincent was sitting on the sofa with a book, facing the door.

His eyes would close and open for a while, and he looked really sleepy.

When Feng Yiping entered, his eyes just opened, he took a look, but closed them again. This guy, are you asleep or not?

Feng Yiping, who walked over to carry him to the bed, saw his eyelids moving vigorously. Then, he opened his eyes again, looked at Feng Yiping who was half bent over, and called out, "Dad."

This sound was similar to a whisper.

His eyes closed again, then opened suddenly, "Dad!" He shouted loudly, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Feng Yiping in surprise.

"Shh," Feng Yiping pointed to Amanda, who was sleeping soundly on the bed next to him, gestured towards him, and gently picked him up, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"I want to wait until you get home before sleeping," the little guy leaned his head on Feng Yiping's chest and couldn't help but yawned.

"From now on, daddy will stay at home with you at night," Feng Yiping looked at his little appearance and felt a little distressed.

His mother was not with him, and it was really unreasonable to come back so late on the first night he took them out.

"Now that I'm back, you can go to sleep," Feng Yiping covered him with a quilt.

Vincent, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be more energetic. "Dad, I told Amanda a bedtime story," he said with a little pride on his little face.

"What a good brother." Feng Yiping touched his head, picked up the book he was holding and lay down on his bed, "Then daddy will read it to you now,"

Vincent read "Elephant\and\Piggie" (Elephant\and\Piggie), one of the series, before going to bed.

This is the story of a smart and cautious little elephant wearing small glasses, and a lively and cute but careless pink pig.

The smiling happy little pig and the nervous little elephant brother can always solve every problem with the most optimistic attitude, which makes them very popular with Vincent.

"'You want to leave? Do you want to go alone?' Brother Xiaoxiang asked nervously, 'Yes,' said Xiaozhu, 'No, you can't go,' said Xiaoxiang,"

Feng Yiping and his son looked at the pictures in the book together and read them vividly. Vincent looked at the book for a while and looked at his father for a while, smiling happily.

"Dad," another voice said next to him.

When the two of them looked at each other, Amanda was sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes, looking at them in confusion.

"Dad is reading me a story," Vincent said.

"Me too," Amanda said immediately.

She slipped out of bed with her Peng Tou An, ran barefoot to her brother's bed, and lay down on Feng Yiping's right side.

Fortunately, this time, the two of them did not argue about whose book to read first. The two little ones put their little heads on Feng Yiping's chest and looked at the pictures in the book together, looking at each other from time to time, laughing.

Obviously, for them, who had grown up alone, having such a night with a peer was very new.

But it was indeed too late, and the book had only been turned over five times. Vincent, who had been holding on all night, snored first, and then Amanda snored too.

Everyone on the left and right fell asleep, and Feng Yiping was not much better. However, after falling asleep for a while, he was woken up by Leticia, "Mr."

"Huh? Oh,"

He carefully separated the two little ones from him and sent Amanda back to her bed. He stood at the door and looked at the two children sleeping soundly. A deep sense of happiness suddenly surged into his heart.

…………

"This one of mine is good," "This one of mine is better," on a sunny morning, the brother and sister shouted loudly while holding the fried eggs made by their father.

Sure enough, these two children, who are not much different in age, are always competing with each other.

"Okay, okay, let's start eating and see who can eat the fastest," Feng Yiping said like a child.

At this time, the content of his meeting at Marvel last night has become a topic on many people's breakfast table.

The content of the meeting he just held was leaked. This was not an accident. Considering the state of the executives participating in the meeting, it would have been strange if it had not been leaked!

Because they knew some of Feng Yiping's actions last night, many people felt that this was really a wonderful morning! ——Maybe it’s because some of them rarely get up so early.

Feng Yiping separated Marvel Studios from Marvel. It is understandable that he obviously wanted to make a difference in movies.

This is not surprising.

After all, both Fox and Sony have made a lot of money from Marvel's heroes. Feng Yiping, who has a good vision, naturally cannot let this go.

However, who can guarantee that the movies they make will be popular? After all, among the superhero movies made in recent years, far more of them have disastrous results than the blockbuster "Spider-Man" and "X-Men".

On this point, Time Warner, which has long ago acquired DC Comics, has the most say.

The box office performance of their Superman and Batman series was also uneven. If not, they would have launched other hero series.

Therefore, who can guarantee that Feng Yiping can correctly select the one or several heroes that will be popular with the public from the many superheroes in Marvel?

Even if they can be selected, the movies they produce will definitely be welcomed by everyone?

Haha, as soon as he joined Marvel, he actually kicked Arad, who was the most experienced in film production in Marvel and had successfully participated in the production of many films for many companies and starring Marvel heroes. go out.

Isn't this just like cutting off one's arm?

Also, what is the creative committee he created?

Does he equate film production with the research and development of a product?

Although Hollywood film practitioners all believe that movies can be regarded as an industry to a certain extent, movies, especially excellent movies, fundamentally belong to the category of artistic creation.

Successful movies, like the works of masters of painting and music, must have distinctive personal characteristics.

So, what’s the use of having a creative committee at the head of the film production department?

The biggest use is probably to hinder film production!

According to the scope of authority of the Creative Committee given by Feng Yiping, it is indeed an organization with the highest authority.

They are not only responsible for providing the most important ideas and outlines, that is, coming up with scripts, but they can also delve into all aspects of film creation, including the selection of directors and actors, shooting plans, special effects plans...

Originally, a strong screenwriter was enough to cause headaches, but now the screenwriter has more power than the director... For a movie created under this model, let alone the effect, the production time will be overdue, that's for sure.

That means overspending, that's for sure.

It may be possible to get into an unwarranted dispute over a scientific issue, but that is something to be expected.

Even if the director leaves midway, such a situation will not never happen.

Because if you look at the list of his creative committee, it’s clear that in addition to Palmater and Feige, it also includes Marvel’s famous comic book writers, former Marvel editor-in-chief, current chief creative officer, and president of Marvel Publishing. Wait, plus an introduced Netflix executive.

As you can imagine, it is not easy for such a team to come up with a unanimous opinion on a problem.

How to come up with an outline? The comics author and the creative officer who is familiar with it will have the same opinions, but there will definitely be conflicts with the president in charge of distribution.

The most deadly thing is probably the size of the budget. With Palmater here, I am afraid that many of the plans that Fitch hopes to adopt will be shot by him...

What's more, the ideas they finally came up with have to be implemented by a director, and the creative committee also has the highest supervision power over the director's work... The problems in this, haha, must be all problems.

Under such circumstances, will the first movie produced by the independent Marvel Studios be released in the first decade of this century?

It is said that some good people have already set up a gambling bureau for this matter.

More people suspected that he was going to introduce Silicon Valley's money-burning model to Hollywood?

In short, this morning, many people in Hollywood had the rare opportunity to wake up early without talking, and also had the rare good appetite to make their chefs burst into tears.

Including the old Murdoch family chef.

Early this morning, Old Murdoch saw the relevant briefing.

"Maybe his intentions are good, but such a collective decision-making and such a long and cumbersome process." Unlike yesterday's concise and to the point speech, the elder Murdoch said a lot today.

This is probably because he feels that he has a certain intuitive understanding of Feng Yiping, or in other words, he can conclude that he is better than Feng Yiping in this matter.

Yesterday, he had no reaction to Feng Yiping's interest in acquiring MySpace. He was hesitant because he couldn't guess what Feng Yiping was thinking.

"Maybe he has a reason for doing this?" I don't know why, maybe because we were compatriots, maybe because Feng Yiping's success indirectly made her waist straighter. Mrs. Murdoch was a little bit I don't want to see Feng Yiping being denied like this.

"After all, judging from his experience, it's not like he has never made some decisions that everyone couldn't understand at the time, but were later affirmed by everyone,"

"At least, his resolute capture of Arad is something worthy of recognition, right? We wouldn't allow our employees to do that,"

"He did that right, but for the rest," old Murdoch thought for a while, shook his head, and finally concluded, "He still took it too much for granted."

…………

In Marvel, people's hearts are also in a state of flux today. Arad was fired. This matter has long been old news. The person who was originally the most profitable person in the company was kicked out. The grassroots employees generally still feel a little bit empty. What will they do next?

Oh, the new boss seems to be more profitable?

So, this doesn't seem to be worth worrying about - because of Feng Yiping's experience, many people who have never met Feng Yiping at this time have such confidence in him.

However, everyone, like those in other companies, was generally not optimistic about Feng Yiping's decision to establish a powerful creative committee in the film company, a new initiative that had never been taken before by any Hollywood film company.

The new boss, is he too optimistic about this matter, or does he not understand the film industry as well as he imagined?

However, people outside are waiting to see the joke because of such a thing. Naturally, they inevitably become worried because of such a thing.

They didn't know that their new boss had already arrived at the company.

"Feige, please take a seat," Feng Yiping was still in the conference room, together with Palmater, meeting with Feige, who was appointed president of Marvel Studios yesterday.

"Von, Palmater," Fitch seemed hesitant to speak.

Feng Yiping looked at him and smiled, "It seems that everyone has heard those comments,"

"Fitch, I don't care what outsiders think. The only thing I care about is your opinion."

He knew that the one person he didn't want to have this creative committee the most was none other than the person in front of him, because that would be equivalent to setting up an evil mother-in-law above him.

Feiqi glanced at Feng Yiping and then at Palmater, "I very much agree with your decision,"
