Hollywood legendary director

After Robert Downey Jr. joined "Iron Man", other roles continued to be screened by Kevin Fitch.

Lehmann only reminded one or two black people.

In recent years, the black trend in Hollywood has become more and more prosperous. It seems that no such face in a film and television drama is a crime and is subject to great criticism.

At the Oscars in February this year, some judges even made public remarks, saying that the Oscars suppressed blacks. Otherwise, why do blacks always fail to win awards?

Later, studios quickly followed the so-called black trend.

The main thing is that everyone finds that if there are no black actors to join, a part of the audience will be lost. Those blacks seem to be a little bit difficult to fool, and they begin to pursue more voice.

Under comprehensive consideration, hiring one or two black faces, that is, a small salary, can use this publicity to attract black fans who have gradually become the movie-goers cannot ignore.

Moreover, Lehman knew that when the wind was far from stopping, he certainly had to cater to the mainstream wind when comparing benefits and costs.

Movie market.

"Shrek 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" are still reaping the box office, but "Spider-Man 3" has gradually begun to fall behind. The main reason is that the screening was early and the stamina was insufficient...

Marvel Entertainment.

The Hero Return Team had several contacts with Global, and finally had some intention to loosen up.

Soon, Lehman went to the global headquarters in person and met the executive Nasim Ellison who was in charge of the matter.

This guy gets orders from the top and he knows how to negotiate.

In the beginning, Universal's proposal for Marvel was not a bird, but then I felt that Marvel was really willing to make a remake of the Hulk. It was very sincere and inevitably had some thoughts.

You know, the Hollywood market is becoming more and more popular with superhero themes, is Universal really not enthusiastic at all?

If so, I wouldn't invite director Li Jiao, who was relying on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", to direct "The Hulk" at that time.

Although a bit unlucky to lose, the Hulk's extremely related role image Universal still has ideas, especially the role models of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" remind them from time to time that Marvel's first-line traffic is really messed up.

However, it happened that the fall was so bad that several executives were forced to resign and explain. It is normal for the senior executives of the world to have concerns. In addition, the Hulk population has a bad reputation. It is still unknown whether the audience will buy it again. If you lose again, That's the end of it.

Then, Universal saw Firefly enter Marvel, and immediately began to adapt its role.

Although he laughed a little bit, but after all, Lyman's record is there, maybe it really changed.

Moreover, everyone is asking for it, and Universal has no intention of investing in development on its own, and is taking the risk of production. Why not try?

The two were warm and polite and sat opposite each other.

This kind of own son has fallen into loan shooting, but also depends on the face of the world. It is also Lyman who made up for the pit of Marvel in the past.

More importantly, the situation seems to be something wrong.

Lehman remembers the original time and space, and Marvel Entertainment soon negotiated with Universal about the return of the Hulk to the Marvel camp.

Of course he wouldn't know that the key to this matter lies with him. Who made the Firefly's production ability universally recognized by everyone, and Universal naturally does not want to let it go easily. What if it happens?

Wouldn't it be the only superhero in the world, or one of Marvel's most famous characters?

Universal does not do this kind of loss.

In other words, when the fireflies take over, Marvel has gone from a rundown, its assets have risen, and its assessed benefits have changed.

Therefore, it is normal that the world is not as happy as the original time and space.

Different people have different values.

After the greeting, both parties knew what to talk about. In addition, Lehman really needed the Hulk. Even if the remake was completely lost, the sign must be erected. If the Hulk is missing from the reunion, it would be too much less. The tension in the plot.

Don't go around too much and go directly to the topic.

"Co-developing the Hulk, what do you think?"

Lehman asked first.

After all, this is also what he cares most about. If Universal does not agree with this, then all talks will cease. Marvel definitely has no reason to work purely to help Universal with projects. He is not a philanthropist.

Nassim Ellison hesitated a little, then nodded, "This is already negotiated."

The hero returned to the team and did the right thing.

It's just that they don't have the right to be responsible for such a major event. That's why Universal wants to talk to Lehman on the final distribution of benefits.

Lehman put a stone down in his heart, and gave the Marvel veterans a slight thumbs up. It seems that besides stabilizing the hearts of the people, they still have the ability to work, except for some who like to mix up.

Obviously, Marvel Studios has been separated, and I still want to mix it with sand to maintain its influence.

Because the character adaptation involves all aspects of interest, after all, the copyright of the comic adaptation is also profitable for the author, and coupled with the larger market around it, how can the Marvel veterans not be tempted and do not want to profit?

This instead makes Lehman more determined to maintain the independence of Marvel Pictures.

"So, what about your terms?"

Nassim Ellison thought about it and gave a target expectation that was slightly higher than that of the global executives.

At the negotiating table, how could he miss his underwear at one time? Doesn't it mean that he is not capable of working?

"You are responsible for the production budget of the remake project, and Universal is responsible for the distribution. Only 15% of the channel fee is collected. In addition, it is responsible for the cost of publicity relative to the market. The copyright belongs to Universal."

"Ha, doesn't Universal want to shoot the Hulk?"

"How to say?"

"There is no sincerity at all. If this is the case, then let it go."

"But we used formal means to obtain the copyright of the Hulk and related characters, and Marvel sold it on its own initiative. Moreover, it is your company's first proposal to remake the Hulk."

"The previous thing was before. What we are going to talk about now is whether you want to start the Hulk. Is it just that you can't hide it? I personally want to cooperate with your company."

Very troublesome, Lehman said, thinking from time to time.

Nassim Ellison smiled, turned the subject back, and kicked the ball to Lyman, "I don't know, what kind of sincerity does Mr. Luster have?"

"After the remake of "Hulk", we will consider including the linkage plan to share this part of the income of the Hulk. The role is valuable, famous, can be accepted by the audience, and the peripheral authorization is also a big business. Presumably, Universal should not be watching Box office and offline market."

Nassim Ellison listened and wanted to complain.

Hello, how about the copyright in our hands.

How do you feel that we are asking for Marvel to shoot? Besides, the initiative is not counted like that. The box office does not care. Compared with the copyright market, it is a small amount of money. That is the profit we should take. How can we share it?

What kind of linkage plan is included after the remake, but you are telling the plan.

This is...

The people in this circle really didn't want to lose money at all-even including myself.

But cooperation, Universal still wants.

Mainly, they don't pay for the production budget, and let Marvel help to shoot the Hulk. They come to enjoy the fame and fortune market and the added value of the image after this. They have the urge to do this business no matter what.

It's just that Lehman wanted to share it evenly. The worst thing is to get Universal to put the copyright commercial use part on the negotiating table, and the box office split should be closer to the producer, that is, Marvel.

This is completely different from Global's expectations.

After all, they wanted to empty the glove white wolf.

Anyway, the Hulk has long been thrown into the copyright library.

Global executives are now thinking about letting Marvel take charge of the project development. It is best not to separate out the surrounding copyrights and the like. As for the linkage, Nasim Ellison doesn’t want to think about it. Is it the usual way of raising expectations in negotiations? I'm not fooled.

But if you want to complete this kind of wishful thinking, it seems that you can't convince Lehman. People are not stupid and don't mention copyright. They have to satisfy Marvel with other things.

How to do?How to talk?

Nassim Ellison had a headache...

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Lehman took a step back, "Let’s do it, we will make the budget, and Universal is responsible, but Marvel should also have the right to use the role. It’s impossible for us to pay, you don’t say anything. ."

"Mr. Rust, we will consider your request carefully."

Nassim Ellison can’t decide. He plans to hold a high-level meeting to discuss again...
