Chapter 1014 Yang Ming Is Going to Set up Marvel Pictures!

In the chairman's office at the headquarters of Marvel Comics.

Yuan Tianfan met Stan Lee as the general manager of Future Capital.

Stan Lee knew Yuan Tianfan.

Now Future Capital is the largest venture capital company in Silicon Valley and even in the United States.

When Stan Lee learned that Yuan Tianfan was representing the Empire Group to acquire Marvel Comics, he was not surprised.

"Boss, Mr. Stan Lee knows Future Capital and Empire Group, but he wants to meet you in person."

"He wants to meet me?"

"Yes, when I proposed that the Empire Group would acquire Marvel Comics and would gradually adapt the stories of comics into Hollywood movies in the future, Stan Lee was different. When he learned that you were in New York, he really wanted to meet you in person."

Marvel Comics is the Martin Goodman family, and Stan Lee is more like a professional manager of Marvel Comics.

However, as the soul of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee's status and influence in Marvel Comics are not inferior to the Martin Goodman family.

If Stan Lee refuses to sell Marvel Comics to Empire Group, even if Martin Goodman is willing to sell it to Empire Group, it may not be possible.

This is a bit like what happened to Shen Yi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank.

Shen Yi is just the boss of Huifeng Bank, but he has the right to decide who to sell Hutchison Whampoa to.

Other directors and major shareholders of Huifeng Bank have no right to interfere.

"Since Mr. Stan Lee wants to see me, you should make arrangements with him."

"Yes, boss."

After Yuan Tianfan left.

Yang Ming was still in the study.

He knew.

The purpose of coming to New York this time was indeed for Marvel Comics.

According to the current situation, the acquisition of Marvel Comics should not be very well-known.

It was not until late at night.

Yang Ming rested.

. . .

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming just got up.

Yuan Tianfan came over and said, "Boss, I've talked to Mr. Stan Lee, and he wants to see you at Marvel's headquarters this morning."

"Then let's go after breakfast."

After Yang Ming, Yuan Tianfan, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Alina, Park Jinhui, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui and others finished breakfast.

The group took a car to the headquarters of Marvel Comics in New York.

The headquarters of Marvel Comics is located on Fifth Avenue in New York.

From the private estate in the wealthy area of ​​Huntington, Long Island, it is about 60 kilometers, which is not too far.

About two hours.

The car of Yang Ming and others stopped.

Yang Ming, Yuan Tianfan and others got out of the car and went to the headquarters of Marvel Comics.

At this time, Stan Lee and the management of Marvel Comics had come out to greet them.

"Sir Yang, welcome to our Marvel headquarters."

A tall white old man in a suit came out to greet Yang Ming.

He was the chairman of Marvel Comics and the soul of Stan Lee.

At this time, Sir Yang and the Empire Group were already famous all over the world.

Many years ago, Stan Lee knew Sir Yang.

This is the first time to meet Sir Yang in person.

"Hello, Mr. Stan Lee."

Yang Ming shook hands with Stan Lee.

With Stan Lee's introduction, Yang Ming met other executives at the headquarters of Marvel Comics.

Then he went inside.

This is the headquarters.

There are still many people here.

When he just entered, Yang Ming saw the most posters of the characters in Marvel.

Spider-Man, Black Panther, Hulk, etc.

These posters look very exaggerated and very characteristic of this era.

Stan Lee accompanied Yang Ming and others to visit and introduced them.

It took almost half an hour to visit.

Yang Ming came to Stan Lee's chairman's office.

In the office.

In addition to the secretary bringing coffee to Yang Ming and Yuan Tianfan, Stan Lee looked at Yang Ming and asked: "Sir Yang, I heard that Empire Group hopes to acquire Marvel Comics? Why is it interested in this company?"

Stan Lee felt a little strange.

"Mr. Stan Lee, our Empire Group does want to acquire Marvel Comics. As for why we want to acquire it, it is mainly because we are interested in the future value of Marvel Comics."

Future value?

In fact, it is the IP value.

In addition to the film adaptation, there is also the value brought by related derivatives and so on.

However, at this time, even in the United States, there are not many people who really recognize the value of this IP.

Stan Lee knows that the Empire Group is rich and powerful and is indeed capable of acquiring Marvel Comics.

For Stan Lee, Marvel Comics is like his child. He does not want Marvel Comics to be targeted by capital. If it is acquired, it will not only fail to play a relevant role, but will be damaged. That is not what he wants.

"Sir Yang, I heard that you are going to adapt Marvel Comics into Hollywood movies after acquiring it?"

"Yes, not only to adapt it, but also to adapt it every year. I am even going to set up a Marvel Film Company."

Marvel Film Company?

In the 1990s, Marvel sold the film rights of many of their characters to other studios, starting with the 1993 X-Men to 20th Century Fox Film Company.

The first character rights to return to Marvel was Black Panther, in 2005, having previously been under the control of Columbia Pictures and Artisan Entertainment.

In November 2005, Marvel won the film rights to Iron Man from New Line Cinema.

In April 2006, the rights to Thor returned to Marvel from Sony. In June, the rights to Black Widow returned to Marvel from Lionsgate. The same year, the film rights to Hulk returned to Marvel Studios from Universal Pictures, after the unsuccessful sequel to Ang Lee's The Incredible Hulk. However, Universal retained the right of first refusal.

Marvel Studios LLC, also known as Marvel Films from 1993 to 1996, is an American television and film studio affiliated with its headquarters in Burbank, California.

It was originally a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment until its reintegration by Disney in August 2015.

Marvel Studios includes numerous divisions and joint ventures, some of which are still in operation and some of which no longer exist, including: Marvel Television, Marvel Animation, Marvel Music, MVL Productions LLC, and MLG Productions.

In the distribution of these animations, television, movies and music, the film company has participated in three series of Marvel character movies and has earned more than one billion US dollars in North America.

That is to say, in history, Marvel Comics also established its own Marvel Studios, but many of its IPs were scattered and sold to different Hollywood film companies.

Marvel Studios was later reorganized by Disney after Marvel was acquired by Disney.

However, in general, Marvel Studios did not play a very important role.

In Stan Lee's eyes, he likes to adapt the stories and characters in Marvel comics into Hollywood movies.

At this time, it was really shocking to hear Sir Yang say that.

After all, these Marvel comics require a lot of investment to be adapted into movies, and it is hard to say whether the box office will be good.

If they are adapted into Hollywood movies every year, the cost will be higher.
