"Many details can be discussed, but our requirement is that you cannot cooperate with Marvel. In addition, you must be the overall art director of DC's Justice League and build a framework for the Justice League similar to the Avengers.
This will be a long-term cooperation. We will give our utmost sincerity and ask you to give us the greatest return."
Director Wei blinked.
Sounds interesting.
Wei Jun took the initiative and said, "What if I can guarantee to ban Marvel in the Chinese market? Marvel will lose the Chinese market forever."
The DC executive decisively said, "Then Wei, you will be our friend forever. We will give you shares in DC, give up our expectations of your performance, and give you more rewards. If you can truly ban Marvel in the Chinese market, then everything is negotiable."
Wei Jun smiled and said, "I will arrange for professionals to contact you right away. I will also show you my power in China."
Isn’t it just banning Marvel?
What a big deal.
DC executives thought this was a huge problem.
But for Director Wei, this is easier than making "Aquaman".
The reason is very simple: without Director Wei's efforts, Marvel is just asking for trouble.
Proud Americans.
The proud political correctness - anti-flower.
So even though Marvel has made a lot of money in the Chinese market, it still has to go out of its way to disgust China.
Let's make it clear to the world that although Marvel has made money in the Chinese market, we did so without any support and are still anti-China at heart. "Shang-Chi" is a film that is clearly insulting to women. Marvel executives knew it would offend China and that the film simply didn't have a significant box office market, but they still went ahead with it.
The subsequent "Doctor Strange 2: In the Multiverse of Madness" blatantly carries its own agenda.
This can't be a mistake on the part of the filmmakers.
For a movie with an investment of over 100 million US dollars, every frame of the picture must be carefully planned and reviewed. Every object in the picture is designed, and the producers of the movie know exactly what should appear and what should not appear.
Marvel did this on purpose, deliberately trying to disgust you, deliberately carrying out their own agenda, and deliberately expressing their own stance.
So of course it is impossible for Director Wei to cooperate with Marvel.
As for banning Marvel... Director Wei didn't need to do anything, Marvel was banned in China later.
If Director Wei makes an effort, then given his current status, there is no need to wait until later.
Whether from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of Director Wei as a Chinese, Director Wei does not mind cutting off the arrogant and disgusting Marvel from China.
In this case, why not do it?
Director Wei has worked hard to reach this point, being able to change the situation and cover the sky with one hand. He is not here to reason with foreigners.
"Marvel must die in China, arrange it!"
Chapter 123: Marvel Must Die, Aquaman's Battle
Director Wei and DC executives reached a cooperation intention - Marvel must die.
At least it must die in the Chinese market.
However, Wei Jun did not disclose this choice to the outside world.
Marvel is currently at its peak and has not offended Director Wei. Director Wei has no reason to become their enemy.
This requires an opportunity.
Director Wei is not in a hurry.
However, Marvel is very eager to defeat DC.
Disney really wants to work with Director Wei.
So, they sent a lobbyist who surprised Director Wei and was very persuasive.
"Wei, cooperating with DC is really not a good choice. They don't know how to respect anyone."
The person who said this was Zack Snyder, the director of "Justice League", which is currently being released in theaters.
Zack Snyder is really miserable.
After the film was finished, I was kicked out.
"As a director, I don't get any respect from them.
Wei, you should stay away from them, or I will teach you a lesson."
Director Wei: "We are different."
“It’s the same, actually. We are both directors.”
Zack Snyder said.
Director Wei: "It's really different, they kicked you out, and then begged me back on their knees.
They treat you as their grandson and me as their grandfather.
So what happened to you will never happen to me.
Zack Snyder, in fact, whether it is DC or Marvel, they don’t know how to respect people.
It's just that I'm too strong, so they have to respect me.
You're begging them, and they're begging me, and we can't sympathize with each other."
Director Wei patted Zack Snyder on the shoulder and consoled him: "Don't try to reason with capital, but rather fight it with your fists.
Your fists are too weak. I am different, so I don’t need their respect. They still have to kneel down and lick me.
You are an American who is weaker than them, but I am the Chinese they want to cooperate with. I have a huge market behind me."
This is the advantage of nationality.
Zack Snyder and the top executives of Marvel and DC are from the same country.
Of course the strong will not respect the weak.
But Director Wei is not from the United States.
And Director Wei is also strong enough.
Therefore, Director Wei is qualified to cooperate with them on an equal footing, and even have the upper hand.
Because Director Wei doesn't rely on them for his livelihood.
But not Zack Snyder.
So, Director Wei really can't empathize with Zack Snyder.
Zack Snyder felt like he was stabbed in the heart.
"Wei, we are all directors."
"Then you are too sincere."
Director Wei chuckled and said, “I am more than just a director, and even if I am a director, I am also a Chinese director.
To me, Marvel is not a good thing either.
I never thought of DC executives as good people.
It's just a combination of interests. We have common interests, so why should we care about their character? Besides, do you really think the executives of Marvel and Disney are good people?"
To Director Wei, Americans are divided into those who can bring him benefits and those who cannot.
Character?
What does this have to do with Director Wei, a Chinese?
Harvey Weinstein's crimes landed him in jail in the United States in his previous life, and Director Wei also had a good collaboration with him.
To put it bluntly, they are the bad guys in the United States and they are harming Americans.
Director Wei is a Chinese. Would he come across the ocean to seek justice for the Americans?
He doesn't have that kind of internationalist spirit.
So although Director Wei sympathizes with Zack Snyder, he has no empathy at all.
The director contracts he signed are different from those of Zack Snyder.
DC doesn't even have the qualifications to kick him out.
Zack Snyder could only return empty-handed.
Gal Gadot, who visited with Zack Snyder, was relieved.
She was a little embarrassed.
Because she has a very close connection with DC, her careers are tied together. After all, her most famous role now is Wonder Woman.
But she also has a good relationship with Zack Snyder.
After all, she also starred in "Justice League".
But overall, she definitely still hopes that Wei Jun will stay in the DC camp.
That way she and Director Wei will have the opportunity to work together again.
This time she came with Zack Snyder, and there were hints from DC executives behind the scenes.
Now that she sees that Director Wei has rejected Zack Snyder, Gal Gadot is of course mostly happy.
"Thank goodness, Wei, you weren't persuaded by him."
Director Wei chuckled and said, "Of course I won't be convinced by him. The conflict between them is an internal fight among Americans. What does it have to do with foreigners like us?"
"Wei, you are a man of great wisdom."
Gal Gadot exclaimed.
To Americans, she is also a foreigner.
Of course, she is quite different from Director Wei.
Because Director Wei is Chinese.
China and the United States are destined to be competitors that will confront each other in all aspects in the future.
Therefore, Director Wei is also a very contradictory figure for Americans. He has a huge market behind him, but at the same time, he may become a trouble and enemy to them because of the country.
Gal Gadot is different.
She is Israeli.
The ancestral land of the Jews.
The whole world knows that the United States wants to be the father of all countries in the world, but it is the son of Israel.
Gal Gadot’s success in Hollywood is largely due to her Israeli nationality and Jewish ethnicity, which are even more important than her appearance.
But Gal Gadot doesn't consider herself American either.
So she was too lazy to stand in line.
Disney is now the only dominant player in Hollywood, and she will have the opportunity to cooperate with Disney in the future. Of course, she won't be stupid enough to show her loyalty.
She quickly skipped over the topic and talked about "Justice League."
“I really didn’t expect that Justice League would perform so poorly and its reputation would also fail.
The failure of this movie almost declared that DC could not compete with the huge appeal of the Avengers IP."
Gal Gadot said.
Director Wei nodded and said, "It's indeed impossible to compete. Marvel is already a dominant force. If you want to kill Marvel, you almost have to kill Hollywood first. It has basically become an impossible task."
Director Wei knew that in two years, even if he did not take action, Marvel would be banned in China.
By that time, Disney had actually lost the Chinese market.
For this reason, Disney’s CEO had to speak out publicly and tell his shareholders that Disney could survive well without China.
It is obvious that this has been questioned and the danger has been felt, so this statement was made.
However, what Disney CEO said is not completely unreasonable.
Because after that, although Marvel's movies were not released in the country, their box office was not bad.
