"What else do you have to do?" Isaac Perlmutter asked impatiently.

"Yes, we still have one more thing to do!" Huang He said.

"What is it?" asked Isaac Perlmutter at once.

"That means we must immediately take back the copyrights of all the superheroes we sold!" Huang He said.

"You think so too!" Isaac Perlmutter's eyes brightened. "You didn't just say that to lie to me, did you?"

"Of course not, because I know very well that Marvel's greatest wealth is the superheroes in his hands. These superheroes must never be controlled by others, but can only be firmly in our own hands. When building a huge Marvel Cinematic Universe, you can use your arms like your fingers without any hindrance!"

"Marvel Cinematic Universe? What does this mean?" Isaac Perlmutter grasped the key point in Huang He's words.

"To be honest, the reason why I want to acquire Marvel is to make superhero movies and make the film industry the main development direction of Jiangnan Group in the future."

"In the next 20 years, I plan to produce about 40 movies related to Marvel superheroes, and each movie is carried out under the same world view, and there are clues and contexts between each movie. , can be connected with each other, you can understand that this is a series composed of 40 episodes of movies, and then build a Marvel movie universe!" Huang He said without hesitation.

Some people may think that this is another poisonous point. There is no reason to tell the future of Marvel now. In case this Isaac Perlmutter refuses to sell the company after hearing this, or he himself How to plagiarize Huang He's idea?Isn't this a wedding dress for someone else?

It is a big mistake to think so, because in fact, as early as the 90s, Marvel’s Stan Lee had already proposed the concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When he was interviewed by reporters and media, he stated very proudly that he wanted to Before 2000, 8 Marvel movies were successively filmed, and then the superheroes in these movies were combined to shoot an Avengers movie to complete the creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So this is not actually the idea of ​​Boss Huang, but something that the predecessors have thought of long ago.

In fact, many things in modern times have been thought of by the predecessors, but the environment at that time could not be done successfully. For example, when the car was just invented more than 120 years ago, some people already said that the car is a machine that burns oil. Doomed to be eliminated by history.

The cars of the future must belong to electric vehicles using electric energy, but this requires a breakthrough in battery technology.

Therefore, the concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been planned countless times by Marvel, but these plans have not been implemented smoothly. The reason is very simple, that is, Marvel has no money!

Another important point is that no one knows whether the concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be successful.

From the 80s to the 90s, this period was the hottest time for superhero movies, so when Stan Lee proposed this idea in the early 90s, it was still quite popular. At that time, many film companies came to Marvel to buy Copyright for superheroes.

But anyone who is familiar with the development of the film industry knows that since the 90s, superhero movies began to decline. Until around 2008, except for the Spider-Man series, other superhero movies lost everything. The worst of them is It was the Fantastic Four, which caused one of the six major Hollywood film companies at that time to go bankrupt because of this.

And even if you have money to shoot, a movie universe is not so easy to succeed. For example, the DC universe that DC wanted to reproduce later, and the monster movie universe that Warner wanted to create, were actually not so successful, nor did they arouse Too much popularity, although these investments did not lose everything, but they did.

So when faced with the idea of ​​the Marvel Cinematic Universe proposed by Huang He, Isaac Perlmutter didn't find it shocking, or discovered something broad, but felt that Huang He was a bit too simple.

Did he think that if he just made a movie, he would be popular, and he would be able to pull so many superhero movies together?

However, Isaac Perlmutter is still very happy that Huang He has such a plan, which means that Marvel will get a lot of investment.

"How much are you going to invest in the film?" Isaac Perlmutter asked immediately.

"If the cost of shooting an average movie is 1 million U.S. dollars, it is actually 40 billion U.S. dollars. In the next 20 years, I will invest 40 billion U.S. dollars to shoot superhero movies!" Huang He said
"40 billion!" Isaac Perlmutter felt his body start to tremble because of this terrifying number. If all the 40 billion dollars were given to Marvel, wouldn't it be...

"Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Marvel belongs to me, otherwise I would never be able to spend money like this. After all, the current price of Marvel is only 5000 million U.S. dollars. I can't use 40 billion U.S. dollars to marry others. Yi, you are right!" Huang He said with a smile.

"That's right!" Isaac Perlmutter smiled wryly, he really thought too well.

"Then I'll go back to the brand new way of cooperation I mentioned before!" Huang He saw that Isaac Perlmutter had been completely shaken, so he immediately chased after him and said, "I know, now Marvel is attracted by your toy company." Toy Holdings, so I am willing to buy Magnetic Toys for US$1 million, what do you think?"

"What!" Isaac Perlmutter looked at Huang He in amazement. As I said before, the current Marvel is only worth 5 million US dollars.

And the magnetic toy itself, which holds Marvel, is actually not even worth 1 million US dollars.

Although this toy company was founded by Isaac Perlmutter, due to various reasons, the magnetic toys suffered from serious mismanagement. At the same time, because Marvel’s IP gradually lost the market, sales were also very difficult. It is in a state of loss every year, and it is true that it can't even sell 1 million US dollars.

Now that Huang He has expressed his willingness to buy the magnetic toy with 1 million US dollars, it is equivalent to giving Isaac Perlmutter 4 million US dollars for free, which naturally makes Isaac Perlmutter very excited .

"Not only that!" Huang He said immediately, "I know that you have deep feelings for Marvel, so I will never do something that drives you away. We can sign an agreement unless you violate it." Some special terms, such as the sale of superheroes, otherwise you will be the CEO of Marvel, and I will not interfere with your business until your death."

"However, for Marvel's film business, I am in charge of everything. You can guide, but you cannot interfere with my decisions. Simply put, you have the final say on non-movie content, and everything about movies Things, I have the final say!"

"In addition, the final interpretation of the entire Marvel Universe is in my hands. I can add or delete some settings and characters of the Marvel Universe, as well as future story developments, etc. at any time. This is also my right!"

"We can write all these in the contract in black and white. Once there is a conflict, it is enough to follow the contract!"

"How do you want to explain the Marvel Universe?" After hearing Huang He's words, Isaac Perlmutter was naturally extremely moved. He himself had no interest in the film business, so there was no problem in entrusting Huang He to be in charge.

In this way, he can earn 4 million US dollars for nothing, and he can also control the Marvel Group for life. There is nothing more perfect than this in the world.

But when Huang He proposed to have the final interpretation of the Marvel universe, Isaac Perlmutter was a little worried again. This guy wouldn't want to change many stories of Marvel.

Isaac Perlmutter knows very well that Marvel has many settings that have caused constant controversy among fans. There are countless people who swear on the Internet that they must buy Marvel if they have money, and then change various settings.

This Yellow Crane could not be such a person too!

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm a Chinese. In the future, Marvel movies will definitely be developed throughout China through me, so I will naturally add a lot of Chinese elements to Marvel movies!" Huang He said.

"Oh, we're on the gas!"

"Hehe!" Huang He laughed dryly, "Shang-Chi is a Chinese hero imagined by you Americans. If you don't feel down-to-earth in China, I will arrange China's own cartoonists to create Chinese superheroes."

"Besides, in the background of the Marvel universe, Chinese elements also need to be added. For example, I plan to let the brand-new case of Tianting enter the Marvel universe."

"You know, Heavenly Court is an organization with thousands of different gods, which is much larger than Greek mythology or Nordic mythology, and has an extremely huge influence in the entire Eastern world. Once Heavenly Court enters the Marvel worldview, Then Marvel's market in the entire East will be completely opened up!"

"So it is!" Isaac Perlmutter suddenly realized that although he felt that Marvel should not add too many oriental elements, since this is to make money from the oriental people, it is not without problem to add some appropriately of.

Besides, Huang He has invested 1 million U.S. dollars to buy the entire Marvel, and he doesn't seem to have the right to make others unhappy.

In the end, Isaac Perlmutter agreed to Huang He's proposal, and after about a week of detailed negotiations, Jiangnan Group's acquisition of Magnetic Toys reached an acquisition agreement with his holding company, Marvel. It has completely become the industry of the Yellow Crane.

However, under Huang He's request, apart from the necessary reporting, Marvel did not conduct any publicity, nor did it notify any media, allowing this crucial transaction to be completed silently. up.
