Chapter 1632 Strong Implementation (Part 1)
A very small episode, dealing with an insignificant guy, and this matter came to an end.
However, everyone felt dumbfounded. The boss had been paying attention to Marvel's comics a few years ago. Speaking of which, there really is a connection! It's a pity that the boss's idea at that time was ruined by that idiot, otherwise, there would be a real Avengers building now, how great would that be?
Everyone knows the owner's Treasure Ship Hotel, and its design is very eye-catching. If the Stark Industrial Building, the predecessor of the Avengers Building, is built in reality, it means that Marvel's reputation has reached the other side of the ocean. In that case, how could Marvel be reduced to this point? That John is really a hopeless idiot!
The meeting continued. After Lin Jiayi felt that the instructions were not safe enough and asked everyone to sign a non-disclosure agreement, Guo Tailai began to tell everyone about the Marvel universe he saw in the future dream.
The characters familiar to the employees of Marvel, and the decent villains, moved time from the past timeline to the modern time again and again, and gathered everyone in one universe to form a huge and amazing world. At that time, even Lin Jiayi, who was the least interested in comics, breathed a lot heavier. Those Marvel executives who have lived with these comic characters for almost half their lives are even more excited and about to twitch.
The boss actually wants to play so big? In addition to the universe composed of dozens of big movies, the entire SHIELD can be reproduced on the small screen. By then, what a huge plan this will be, what an amazing future?
"But, boss, we tried Hulk, and the box office is not ideal." Immediately, an executive raised a very realistic question. Because Bai Baihe has directly brought the title of boss to the world, the executives of Marvel also called Guo Tailai the boss without any psychological pressure: "Ms. Anne from Artisan Entertainment is also one of the producers of that film."
It's not that Marvel didn't think about what to do before, but because of the box office failure of "Hulk". It was cast together with Universal, with an investment of 137 million US dollars and almost the same amount of publicity expenses, but in the end the global box office was only 240 million US dollars. Wei's property is bleak to this point.
"I know." Guo Tailai smiled: "So we need a more successful start. However, the top priority is to take back the copyrights that have been authorized as much as possible. Then start to conceive the story of the entire universe. Of course, this is for you professionals I’m in charge of making my suggestions, and you are in charge of doing the work. However, I think it might be a good choice to start with Iron Man.”
When Guo Tailai mentioned this, everyone thought about it seriously. It seems that the pancake drawn by the boss is a bit big! But is it reliable or not? After all, the boss himself said that he is a layman in film and television, so he mentioned it himself, use it if it is suitable, and don't use it if it is not suitable. The question is, will it work?
Iron Man is not the most popular character in the Marvel series, nor is it very popular, but it is the character that can best connect with the real world. According to the outline of a large series of stories that the boss just told, the story of Iron Man is changed from Moving the Vietnam War to Afghanistan seems to be a good start. But the Hulk can't do it, but Iron Man can?
"Boss, the popularity of Iron Man may not be very..." A senior executive hesitated, and was suddenly pushed by the CEO next to him without concealment, and the word "suitable" was not said. His speech was forcibly interrupted, and anyone else would be a little unhappy, but just now the CEO pushed a little hard, as if reminding him of something, the executive thought about it quickly, and instantly thought of a possibility, and then immediately changed his words: "However, Reader popularity has little to do with film and television adaptations, but you can give it a try.”
Less than two hours ago, the boss's assistant fired an idiot from the copyright department who tried to sell the license of Stark Industries Building to the boss at a sky-high price. What does this mean? It shows that the boss personally likes Iron Man very much! I'm an Iron Man fan! Otherwise, why did you try to build the Stark Industries Building in reality years ago?
The boss just mentioned an Iron Man, and he is about to jump out and object? This is the boss's first suggestion, or decision, since he took over Marvel, to embarrass the boss face to face? Americans are not fools. How many of them are pure fools who can achieve the position of executives? Do you really think that Americans don't talk about worldly manners at all, and don't care about the boss's face? What's more, what happened to John from the copyright department is still vivid in my memory. Who wants to follow in his footsteps?
"You can try it!" Several former executives echoed, and they all agreed.
The boss is strong, and Artisan Entertainment under his name has just released a blockbuster movie, so he will definitely not listen to other people's words at this time. Therefore, it is better to wait for the boss's idea to fail once, and then slowly reason with the boss. Of course, the most important thing is that the boss has money, which everyone knows very well. Even if it is ranked very low on Forbes, just relying on the box office of "Shen Xing" can mortgage a lot of money, which is enough to make Marvel's life very nourishing. It is only natural that the boss pays for the request made by the boss!
It doesn't matter on MJ's side, as long as it's not Spider-Man, any other character will do. As for Mr. Li, Iron Man is originally his work, and he mainly promotes the character he created. Do you have any opinions? Although he has retired, it is perfectly fine not to write, but to help out with ideas.
The Marvel Unification meeting was very successful. Everyone agreed that we should follow the blueprint designed by the boss to paint a beautiful picture of the future. This kind of performance made Guo Tailai very speechless. He came to make suggestions, and he thought that he could communicate with James, and everyone happily gathered a Marvel universe, but it turned out to be pushed by force. What is this?
Fortunately, as long as Iron Man finds the right protagonist and producer, it should be fine. Well, apart from the starring role, I forgot who the director and producer are. If it doesn't work, let James or Annie do it? Or invite the great director Steven to come once?
While Guo Tailai was thinking about it, the CEO of Marvel suddenly smiled and made a suggestion to Guo Tailai: "Boss, since you like Stark Industries Building so much, why don't you build one? Of course, you can rest assured, boss. Second, no authorization fee."
There was a burst of laughter from everyone, but it was also mixed with a lot of expectations.
"Build in the United States?" Guo Tailai couldn't help moaning in distress: "I can't afford the Metropolitan Building, let alone build it!"
