The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 206 Some Thoughts
Xu Jiuyang gave Angela a suggestion, to use her current connections and resources to buy the copyrights of several characters from Marvel.

That’s right, it’s the Big Three: Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor.

As for Boiled Egg, Black Widow and Hawkeye, they are all just extras. In the first phase of Marvel, the focus is on the stories of the three giants, and the others are just supporting roles.

Without people like Lu Dan, other characters can be used to replace them. Of course, it would be better if they are characters from Marvel, so that fans of the original work can feel more involved.

In short, with Sony-Columbia backing her and being a member of Summit Entertainment's board of directors, she could easily set up a shell film company of her own and produce the Avengers ahead of time, regardless of who she collaborates with.

Moreover, Xu Jiuyang remembered that Sony seemed to have bought MGM. If Angela had the means and connections, she could take the lead in getting MGM and Marvel to cooperate on this project.

It doesn't matter if it screws up in the end. With the quality of the first three "Iron Man" movies, they will definitely make a profit - provided that you are familiar with Hollywood's accounting methods.

If Angela can win over Kevin Feige and push him out to compete, maybe she can delay it until "Avengers" is released. In this way, even if the early situation is not as good as in the previous life, she can still become a big player.

Even in the worst case scenario, at least it can kill the Marvel series and prevent Disney from acquiring Marvel to complete itself.

As for the time when Angela doesn't make any money and feels that he has cheated her, that is a matter for the future.

Hasn't this been the pattern all along? He gives them the general direction, and they handle the details themselves, and they always do it well.

She told Fan Qiaoqiao that investing in a hotpot restaurant was promising, and she actually did it; she told Li Yunxin that MP3s were profitable, and she actually did it; she told Angela that she could come to the mainland to invest in entertainment products, and she actually got the "Hero" project.

Only Gao Yuanyuan's writing style matured little by little through correspondence. I always feel that the others achieved success overnight, so it's very strange.

This was also one of the reasons why he always wanted to run away before.

Now, he has slowly begun to get used to it. How can he escape when he is being attacked from all sides? He has to gain at least a small goal before he can lie down.

"Okay, you are jealous, understand? You are jealous that others are better than you." Xu Jiuyang, who was sitting in his room, said in a self-deprecating tone while typing on the keyboard.

Of course, even so, he still maintained due vigilance. For example, when he made a proposal to Angela, he not only spoke vaguely, but also deliberately used the X-Men as an example.

In any case, he has never been to the United States in his life, nor has he read many American comics. All his information was collected from the Internet. If he goes into too much detail, it will arouse suspicion.

In fact, if possible, Xu Jiuyang still hopes that Angela can take over Blizzard Entertainment.

She was right; when he first proposed this suggestion, he was indeed acting in his own self-interest.

Since Zhulong Games already distributes "Legend," it's reasonable for them to distribute "World of Warcraft." So what did Jiucheng Times's Jun do? He did nothing but maintain the servers and do some promotional work. He couldn't change a single statistic, and yet he still made the same money playing football.

Xu Jiuyang didn't expect that Zhulong Games could make much money through "Legend". Anyway, looking at the appearances of Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Qiaoqiao, they didn't put much energy into it, so it would be better to start a wheelchair project.

For Angela, this is also a good deal. Even if she doesn't understand games, as long as she can control Blizzard Entertainment, this gold mine can be easily mined. Whatever Codick can do, she can certainly do too.

"That's enough. There's no such thing as a free lunch." He shook his head in self-mockery again.

Even now, he seems to be in a very good position. No one dares to challenge him, whether in the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes or in the crew of The Dark Side. But, Goudan, what is the price?

"Oh no, I think I'm addicted to sex." Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the article on the small screen in front of him, which hadn't even added a single word. They say eating too much meat makes you sick of it, and I've been eating plenty, barely taking a break these past few days, so why haven't I gotten sick of it?

After thinking about it, he felt that the way he wrote the script was wrong. He was used to the previous model, and now it was empty below, and he couldn't adapt.

"Let's forget it. There's no need to rush. We can just take it out by the middle of next year...it should be no problem." Xu Jiuyang said, scratching his head.

The script he was writing was naturally the one he had promised to Fan Qiaoqiao. He had mentioned before that there was a future movie that met her requirements and it just needed some modifications.

This was troublesome, and even though he had done it once, he still encountered many problems when doing it again.

Well, the main reason was that I had a good assistant at that time who could help with a lot of trivial matters, such as organizing and so on.

"How about writing it as a novel first? Even if it can't be published in a serious literary magazine, you can post it online, such as on Qingshu Sister's blog, and then sell it to classmate Fan?" Although Xu Jiuyang said this to himself, his mind had actually jumped elsewhere.

For example, although I haven't had much time to spend with Sister Yuanyuan because I joined the crew of "The Dark Side", we still talk on the phone from time to time. But so far, I can't tell whether Li Dabai has revealed anything to her.

Originally, he didn't care much about it and just planned to use this to control Li Dabai. But ever since Angela said that she also liked women more, some thoughts couldn't be stopped from coming out.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. If you really can't write, can't you just go to sleep?" Xu Jiuyang realized that his thoughts had gone astray and patted his head.

Just as he was about to close his notebook, the doorbell rang. When he looked at the time, he couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, when I walked over and opened the door, I saw Hao Ling in a windbreaker standing outside with a smile.

In this case, I hope her eloquence can bring me some inspiration.

Someone's mentality is indeed changing, but it is not entirely due to internal factors. After all, whether it is Dong Qing or Hao Ling, they are stronger now than they were in their previous life.

Once the thought "this is saving them" comes to mind, many things seem to become justified.

Not to mention this, as the filming progressed, December was about to pass, and the mainland's film market, although boosted by the release of "Big Shot", was still half-dead overall.

Perhaps this is the reason why the status of TV drama stars in mainland China is not much worse than that of movie stars, so the chain of contempt within the circle is not so obvious.

and so--

"Look, this is the cast list, do you have any comments?" Just when "The Dark Side" was about to be completed, Fan Qiaoqiao found Xu Jiuyang and gave him a staff list of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

"So fast?" Xu Jiuyang was a little surprised.

"Soon? I even decided to start filming after the Spring Festival, and it should be finished by May at the latest." Fan Qiaoqiao shrugged.

Xu Jiuyang was speechless. Although Zhang Jizhong's situation was a special case and a legacy of history, wasn't three months of preparation and three months of shooting a bit too fast? It was 01, not 11, let alone 21.

However, seeing that Fan Qiaoqiao had made up his mind, he didn't say anything and picked up the form to look at it.
