Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 264 [Fantasy of the Mainland Entertainment Circle]

After the press conference, there was an interview. The participants were Luo Sheng, Avi Allard, Robert Downey Jr. and Kevin Fitch.

"I think the most curious thing about the outside world is, why did you think of incorporating Marvel Comics into the Blue Star Technology Family Bucket?" During the interview, the host looked at Luo Sheng and asked.

At this moment, the attending guests are sitting on a semicircular lazy sofa chair tube. This temporary interview will look very simple, but the sitting people are not easy.

"How do you say this question..." Luo Sheng was relaxed and relaxed. With the attention of many media professionals and three-dimensional guests attending the meeting, he looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, then looked at the host and replied:

"It should be the result of various coincidences. We are expanding the content ecology of the streaming video business of Bluestar Technology. You know I spent more than five billion dollars a while ago to win the digital projection rights of more than 10,000 movies. A 15-year lease contract, but I don’t think it is rich enough. The self-made link does not seem to be available yet. It just so happens that Marvel has entered my field of vision."

"In fact, the money for digital film rental contracts signed with major Hollywood film companies, including the funds required for the acquisition of Marvel Comics, we originally wanted the money to acquire Sun Computer Sun. Unfortunately, we I didn’t succeed. I was worried about the seven or eight billion dollars and didn’t know what to do. Anyway, I’m idle. It’s better to expand the content ecology of streaming video services."

"Uh...Is that the case?" The host was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed to cover up embarrassment and grace.

Others on the scene were speechless when they heard this, and their hearts rolled their eyes. People in the industry were heartbroken for a while, and they were almost numbed by the show's scalp.

This is so irritating.

The expansion is endless, and the most annoying is that it seems irrefutable.

Right now we are in a situation of economic collapse, the capital is cold, everyone's life is about to be overwhelmed, you are good to say this kind of thing, is this what people should say?

It's worthy of being a big boss, billions of dollars said so calmly.

It feels like...well, I have billions in my hand and I don't know how to spend it, so I bought Marvel by the way.

It seemed like it was for a while.

Hearing Luo Sheng’s explanation, Marvel’s people feel that whether this is true or false, let’s believe it is true, and I really appreciate Oracle and Google for jumping out to prevent Bluestar Technology from acquiring Sun. Otherwise, there may be no Marvel. What happened.

"I have a piece of news for you. Yesterday, Kevin showed me "Iron Man" alone. I have a hunch that this movie will explode." Luo Sheng said with a smile: "I want to spoil you more, but Kevin is sitting next to me, my bodyguard is too far away from me."

The topic soon turned to the topic of Marvel, after all, today's topic is Marvel and its pioneering work "Iron Man".

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Kevin learned through the translator that he was also laughing, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

However, everyone believes that even if Luo Sheng spoils something, Kevin Fitch will not do anything unless he does not want to be the president of Marvel Pictures.

"We are all looking forward to the movie universe plan created by Marvel Pictures, but what I want to ask is, after the completion of the acquisition, what is the biggest problem Marvel will face next?" The host should also naturally focus on the topic. Wei unfolds itself.

Avi Allard picked up the microphone and replied: "The biggest problem we are facing right now may be how to deal with those second-tier "superheroes" under Marvel. The most traditional way is to promote the sale of authorized dolls on a larger scale or Digging deeper into the potential commercial value of comics, and the part of comics adapted from movies will be a focus."

"I also add one point." After Avi Allard finished speaking, Luo Sheng picked up the microphone next to him and added: "Although several top-brand characters in Marvel comics have been poached by Sony and Fox earlier, we I'm not sorry about this. Successfully cultivated and operated is completely possible to discover some new potential stars. Marvel comics are not just Iron Man or the Hulk. Marvel has a total of five thousand more comic tasks of various colors. , You may have never heard of it. A large number of comic characters are like a golden mountain in my eyes."

Hearing this, Marvel's head Arad slandered in his heart: "You didn't say that during the previous negotiations..."

Luo Sheng didn’t know what Arad, who was sitting next to him, was muttering in his heart, and continued to say in an orderly manner: “The benefits of digging out'new stars' from these characters into the market are far greater than those from comics that have been borrowed from'Spiderman' Characters get more copyright revenue. We are confident in tapping more comics superstars and expanding the application of comic resources in the film industry, stores and theme parks."

Luo Sheng put the microphone aside when he finished speaking. His words were not only to speak to the market as the parent company of Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures, but also to Kevin Fitch and Ah sitting next to him. Wei Arad heard that the parent company attaches great importance to the cultivation and building of the Marvel brand.

The implication is that you guys will do a good job for me, and the parent company will endorse you, not to mention anything else, at least you don’t have to worry about the hard work of selling comic characters every day.

"There is one more question, which may be of interest to many people." The host said again: "Marvel Cinematic Universe Project, will future movies use Chinese star actors or even superheroes starring Chinese stars? ?"

This question made the eyes of domestic entertainment media reporters shine, a very topical question.

He immediately focused on Luo Sheng, but Kevin Fitch picked up the microphone for the first time and replied affirmatively. What he said translated, meaning: "Anything is possible."

The interview lasted for more than twenty minutes. After it was over, the following was the premiere.

The news here spread out like wings. The domestic entertainment industry quickly caused a sensation, all because of the question of whether the host will use Chinese stars during the interview.

This news made some domestic star actors who dream of breaking into Hollywood very excited.

Breaking into Hollywood is the dream of many top celebrities in the mainland.

The production cost of "Iron Man", the pioneering work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is as high as 140 million U.S. dollars. Participating in such a big production is something that many mainland stars dream of.

It can be said that so far, only Bluestar Technology Group has achieved the ability to make a stand in Hollywood across the country, and other domestic film companies have no such ability.

No one thought that an IT giant would set off such a huge wave in the movie entertainment industry, making the entire movie entertainment industry uneasy.

There was also a lot of discussion on the Internet, and it was immediately dug up by omnipotent netizens. There are thousands of comic characters under Marvel Comics, and there are really many Asian superheroes.

For a time, various discussions emerged on the Internet, and the gossip media also exaggerated it.

Netizens who eat melons have begun to break their hearts and take the lead in casting a wave of roles for the follow-up movies of Marvel Pictures, and the topic of certain celebrities acting in certain Asian superheroes has been hotly discussed during this period.

Of course, this kind of melon is unavoidable to force a war or something.

And these heats have also affected the upcoming "Iron Man", but Iron Man does not actually have much market in China at present, and the box office of the last "Iron Man" in the Mainland is worth over 100 million, but in this era It is also a high box office.

However, there are still some people in the industry who have bad news about this movie, and then bad news about the Blue Star Technology Group and the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project. I heard that there is a sequel to "Iron Man", but according to international practice, the sequel is becoming less and less attractive.

As for the movie "Iron Man", it is far from the time to talk about the sequel. The prerequisite for the sequel is the success of the first work, but its success is still unknown.

This is the first stage of the first stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and its success or failure can be no exaggeration to say that it will affect the progress of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If it loses, Marvel will have another chance to "buy alive" because the parent company Bluestar Technology Group has provided an additional US$120 million in financial support, which can be used to make another comic hero adaptation film for Marvel.

If you still lose money, I'm sorry, Luo Sheng will shelve the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan for a long time. In a short time, he won't spend any extra money and give the funds to other self-made teams.

"Iron Man" was successful in the previous life, and Marvel was reborn as well, but now Luo Sheng dare not pack the ticket and Marvel will copy the glory of the previous life. After all, the world has changed too much.

With the end of the premiere, and the next publicity campaign, Bluestar Technology gave a three-day first-level traffic entrance, and it was a global scale, advertising was flying, which can be said to be indiscriminate bombing.

Anyway, there are basically advertisements related to the premiere of "Iron Man" on the Internet. This is a publicity that Marvel could not even think of before. If you want to pay for advertising, it is calculated based on the current advertising price. Bluestar Technology is about US$70 million, but all this is a resource tilt given by the parent company for free.

This is the advantage of relying on large groups.

As time passed day by day, the release date of "Iron Man" finally came as scheduled.
