Global monopoly of technology

With the European Union, China, Japan, and North America respectively announcing their agreement to this round of mergers and acquisitions, it means that there is no suspense. The reason why the mergers and acquisitions between the two parties still require the consent of countries around the world is because you want to enter their markets. By agreeing to this merger, then Marvel movies may not be released in the EU market in the future.

Such large-scale mergers and acquisitions are generally very complicated, but this time, the merger is very smooth. Compared with Luo Sheng's intention to Sun Computer Sun Microsystems and MySQL, it is not too easy.

Time passed day by day, and three days later, on April 27, Avi Allard, head of Marvel, Kevin Fitch, president of Marvel Pictures, and Robert Downey Jr., starring "Iron Man" The insiders rushed to Shanghai by special plane and checked in at the Hilton Hotel on the same day.

And Luo Sheng also took a special car to Shanghai from Sioux City this evening, the purpose is to participate in the joint media conference and the premiere of "Iron Man" tomorrow. This movie is the first to be released in China, and the time is set for 4. It will be released on May 30th in North America.

It is worth mentioning that the film set time was determined long before Bluestar Technology Group initiated the acquisition of Marvel. It was not because of Bluestar Technology’s acquisition that "Iron Man" was first released in the mainland.

But looking at it now, it couldn't be better.

This incident has become a headline news event in the domestic and even foreign film entertainment circles. Movie fans and fans are also hotly discussing it, and its popularity is among the best in Weibo, cloud song search, and whiteness search.

"Niupi Pulasi, Bluestar Technology is really becoming more and more international."

"Sorry, you can really do whatever you want with money... [cover your face]"

"Bluestar Technology is currently one of the few world-class IT giants in our country, right? Who is for and who is against?"

"Master Luo, is this going to unify the rhythm of the arena?"

"I had to support a wave of "Iron Man" after it was released. It was originally seen by piracy."

"To be reasonable, I am looking forward to the trailer for this movie."

"I hope the box office will explode!"

...

On the morning of April 28, the joint media conference proceeded as scheduled.

More than a hundred media from home and abroad attended the venue as scheduled. Professional media organizations in the entertainment industry accounted for half, but there were also mainstream media at home and abroad.

After all, the Bluestar Technology Group is now tens of billions of big hands.

At around 11:20 in the morning, Luo Sheng, who had already arrived in Shencheng last night, attended the media conference along with Kevin Fitch, the head of Marvel Comics and the president of Marvel Pictures.

Under the focus of many shots, Luo Sheng, who hosted the press conference, spoke to everyone: "I am very honored to announce that the North American comics giant Marvel Comics has merged into the Bluestar Technology Group. At the same time, today I will announce that Marvel The film production department officially changed its name to "Marvel Pictures" in China, and the term Marvel Comics will become a thing of the past. In the future, Marvel Comics, Marvel Movies and Marvel Pictures will be used for consumers in China."

Prior to this, Marvel's film division was not called "Marvel" in China, but from today onwards, it will face the world under this name. Luo Sheng continued: "Kevin Fitch will continue to serve as the president of Marvel Pictures. A post."

As soon as the voice fell, a foreign man sitting in a position to the right of Luo Sheng got up with a professional smile and greeted him. The scenes of the scene also focused on him for shooting. After a while, the camera turned again. Luo Sheng, the latter immediately started commercial exchange:

"Kevin is very proficient in the background setting of Marvel comics, the structure of the Marvel universe, and other related knowledge. I think and firmly believe that he can connect the tasks of a series of movies and fully cater to the tastes of the audience. He is a strong A business-minded person, I believe he has the ability to lead Marvel Studios into a new chapter."

At the press conference, Luo Sheng's speech also praised Kevin Fitch's production talent, anyway, business talk is right.

However, the people in the industry present, especially the media in the entertainment industry, paid special attention to a term that appeared in Luo Sheng's words-Marvel Universe.

What the hell is this?

The answer will be revealed soon, and Luo Sheng said again: “One more thing we have to announce is that Marvel Studios has formulated a package plan. It’s very exciting news. Let the professionals answer it.”

At this point, Luo Sheng finished his speech and looked at Kevin Fitch. The latter saw Luo Sheng's gaze and immediately accepted the speech at the press conference.

Under the focus of everyone, Kevin Fitch suddenly took an American accent. However, people who could not understand foreign languages ​​also had translation hearing aids.

"Uh... I'm honestly very excited now. Joining the Bluestar Technology Group has ushered in an unprecedented transformation for Marvel Pictures, and also allowed us to realize a plan we have been brewing for a long time with confidence. I swear, This plan is so exciting."

"The Marvel Cinematic Universe Project. We are trying to create a series of overhead worlds based on Marvel comics characters by Marvel Pictures. They are all in the same world view. Like the Marvel universe in the comics, they have common elements. , Settings, performances and characters are established through the deep linkage of cross-border works, and belong to an officially recognized multiverse worldview along with other comics, movies and animation series."

"And the upcoming "Iron Man" will be the beginning of the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

Kevin Fitch’s excitement was not deliberately pretended, but was really very excited. Although Marvel Comics had a hard time, it had ambitions.

Salted fish have dreams.

The concept of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has actually been planned secretly as early as 2005, but this is a super huge and incredible production project. The situation of Marvel Comics at that time is nothing less than a dream, and they themselves are a little lacking in confidence.

But things are different now.

After merging into the Bluestar Technology Group, Marvel immediately received an additional US$120 million in financial support from the parent company. There were no financial problems. If "Iron Man" can be a big success, Marvel Pictures' own The surplus can form a virtuous circle, and the financial crisis can be completely eliminated without the parent company's blood transfusion.

When Kevin Fitch announced the news, the entertainment media people on the scene were dull, and many people opened their mouths into the shape of duck eggs.

Really hell, this Marvel Comics company was dead and alive some time ago. It almost made no difference to mortgage all of his possessions to Merrill Lynch. It has just been merged into the Bluestar Technology Group, and the first time comes to this group company. I like to play the "traditional art" of big hands and learned in minutes.
