Hollywood legendary director

There are many things in this world, which seem very reasonable to some people but are unusual to others.

In the past contact between Columbia and Marvel, it was to watch Lyman make a pool of stagnant water rely on Iron Man and the Hulk to stir alive, and to adapt two more characters, one of them, Thor, came to them.

If it's just a normal exchange of interests, even if Marvel doesn't come to look for it, but only releases news of cooperation, Colombia will definitely come to the door and actively invite it. You must know that it is difficult to hide things in the industry, such as Iron Man. Rough gains.

If this film only talks about the box office and deducts cost, wastage, and labor, it will be left to the producer 323 million.

Among them, Warner shared 90 million, the main creative team 8 million, and Stan Lee shared 15 million (the copyright author holds 5% of the film’s revenue, which is why Stan Lee is a billionaire and his family is not going well. The reason is that the children of this stuff can't worry about it), and Marvel Pictures eventually recorded 210 million.

In addition to copyright, Iron Man’s direct image derivatives such as figures, models, and dolls generated revenue of 830 million yuan, Hasbro shared 456.5 million yuan, other manufacturers took 13695 million yuan in partnership, and Marvel earned 319.5 million yuan;

Licensing products generate revenue of 1.03 billion yuan. Most of them are brand owners and channel manufacturers. Licensing parties make less profit. Therefore, Marvel only earned 97.85 million yuan-including labor and loss, roughly 9.5 percent of the account, but it is actually a share 10%.

This is not over yet.

Iron Man’s DVD, TV-on-demand, and Netflix’s streaming media also make money. The three-year expected income is about 426 million. This part of Warner can also share 55.38 million and Marvel’s net income is 234.3 million.

Adding up the above, Marvel earned 861.7 million in Iron Man's first installment, and although the Hulk’s screenings are not so popular and the value of the surrounding drive is not so high, it can still make the company’s net income of 23251 million.

In other words, after the operation of these two projects, Mann Media’s revenue in 2008 will see an explosive growth. Excluding everything else, it will have a huge cash of 1.09421 billion-no way, Marvel’s surroundings are too good to sell Yes, the audience and fans are buying it.

And compared to the profit scale of less than 230 million yuan after removing company expenses and employee salaries in the second half of last year, with Marvel’s ip gold mine, in such a big ip era, Mann Media is finally about to take off. There is no suspense.

Of course, the focus of Colombia, which is not taking off, is not here. They saw that Warner provided convenience in the channel and concessions in the schedule. They made a profit of 145.38 million U.S. dollars without taking any risks, and Global would only make more. Many, after all, neither of these two projects were shot in one.

This kind of business, although it has to pay some, but the obvious return is amazing.

Furthermore, there are risks in production and investment needs to be cautious. Even if the summer or Christmas schedule is actually a heartache for Colombia, if you lose your investment in a blockbuster, wouldn’t it mean that there is no schedule bonus or film income? Eating?

Still the same sentence, studios like to pursue more lucrative projects and cooperate with Marvel. In terms of the record at this time, it can make people believe that they will not suffer.

However, for them, it is also a headache for Marvel to keep staring at the little spider.

If it is really said that Thor is exchanged for the cooperative development of Little Spider, Colombia would rather give up cooperation, because Little Spider does not need to share dividends with others. Colombia has finally made a big market, but it is not for outsiders to enter, so this may be extremely entangled. point.

After the meeting that day, Lyman gave Liam the communication.

Nowadays, both Thor and the US team have entered the shooting stage. Kevin is busy every day, but enjoys it.

He actually enjoys the power he has.

The two parties agreed to meet, and Liam felt very familiar with the fire-breathing eyes of each other.

After all, after Iron Man and the Hulk have proved the market one after another, the people responsible for contacting Marvel with some brands also have this look. Nothing else, it is the look of wealth flow.

For example, the US team and Raytheon have both received a lot of sponsorships. The former is less, only 26 million yuan, and the latter has urban scenes and is easy to place advertisements. In addition to reasonable care of the scenes, they have attracted more than 52 million. Thor has already recovered one-third of the production expenditure.

After a period of politeness, gradually entered the topic.

With Sony as the gold master, it also controls the most upstream recording resources and the formulation of the industry format. The original soundtracks of several Firefly movies have cooperated with Sony, which is not unfamiliar.

Contrary to the expectations of the Colombian management, Liam did not propose to use the rights and interests of the Thor Project to participate in the development of the spider under the constant "trouble" of the hero return team.

This is because Lehman said beforehand that he should hold the mentality of discussing Thor's cooperation, and not other.

After all, Little Spider did not fail, nor did it show the Hulk as a tasteless person like Universal did. In this matter, Marvel’s current plan is impossible to impress the other party. Without the initiative and voice, I didn't want to say anything more. I said it for nothing. It's better to let the return team continue to pester and ask a few words from time to time.

So the negotiation actually went smoothly.

Because everyone knows what they want, Marvel has no scheduled theaters, no strong publicity channels, Colombia has; and Marvel has good projects and excellent production capabilities, and Colombia is very tempted in this regard.

Apart from other things, a project with an account of 100 million is a very good business for them. At least the financial statements can look much better and give shareholders confidence.

Speaking of the final, the finalized accounting conditions and detailed rules are not too different from Warner and Fox, because this is the best solution that Mann Media can get after it has more weight.

Marvel invests and projects, Columbia invests people, schedules and channels, the two sides make Thor's cake together, and then share the profits and exchange resources.

Hollywood is like this. There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends. Cooperation and competition, competition and cooperation have been repeated.

At least for now, Mann Media is seen as more partners than enemies.

After returning to the company, Liam and Lehman reported, then went back to the Blue Butterfly Pictures to continue their publishing journey.

"Lonely Fortress" is a good project, with 21.87 million accounted for the next weekend, and the total North American total has reached 56.43 million. After Lionsgate took over overseas operations, the capital of the dark horse has become more obvious, and it is bringing profits to the company in many regions. income.

On the other hand, the impact of the global financial disaster caused by subprime mortgages and real estate is still expanding.

For Lehmann, this is a good time to buy the bottom, and buying a house should be on the agenda.
