Ace Hollywood - Chapter 449

When “The Incredible Hulk” was doomed to fail, dd Pictures sent Marvel an offer to acquire it. Of course, at this stage, it was kept secret. However, Kevin, or Avi, of course, are well aware of this invitation, and they will not think that dd Films is insolvent – in fact, Plutos’ huge cash reserves have already triggered a wide range of It is impossible for Marvel to be invisible, and even they believe that Plutos’s related moves may be partly due to preparing capital for the acquisition of Marvel.

This acquisition offer has become extremely realistic because of the capital reserves of the parent company of dd Pictures.

It is definitely more than just a verbal negotiation. dd Pictures is fully prepared to eat the entire Marvel. This is the part that makes Kevin feel complicated.

In his opinion, this is really a very contradictory thing. On the one hand, his feelings and sense of belonging to Marvel will make him want to maintain Marvel’s independence. But on the other hand, he also knows that it is difficult for Marvel to enter the field of film production by itself. Its size and the large investment attributes of superhero movies make Marvel’s ability to resist risks. Very low, which means that it must rely on a consortium, or a giant in Hollywood.

Of course, Marvel can also take the third path. Many independent film companies are now trying to walk out of this path, and that is the path of dd Pictures – but basically, the feasibility of this path is very small. Because everyone understands that dd’s independent development path is completely dependent on its founder Daniel Sandler.

Whether it is his siege in the social field, or his commanding influence in the financial market, and most importantly, his legendary halo of unbeaten success in movies—every point is unrepeatable. Exists like him, such as Steve Jobs, straddle Pixar and Apple, are also legendary figures in the limelight.

So, Kevin knew very well that Marvel couldn’t do that. The big defeat of “The Incredible Hulk” – a loss of more than 100 million or more, has reduced this possibility and no longer needs to be considered. You must know that the world’s most popular “Spider-Man” and “X-Men” “Total revenue for Marvel. Less than $100 million — which is why Marvel is pushing its own studio.

What’s more, as a staunch supporter of Marvel’s movie plan, he knows better than anyone that once Marvel is sold to dd Pictures, it will be a big deal for Marvel Studios. how important it is.

This is indeed a difficult decision.

“Personally, I approve of this invitation, but you know that I cannot decide the future of Marvel. The masters of Marvel are still the consortiums on the board of directors.”

Because of the stubbornness of Perelman, the boss of Revlon and the former boss of Marvel, after Marvel went bankrupt during the low tide of comics in the 1990s, the future of Marvel is in the hands of the current board of directors. They come from different banks, Investment banks and consortiums have complex relationships.

Kevin certainly has the strength to support himself, otherwise he would not be recognized on the board, however. Whether or not this force supports the Marvel acquisition is uncertain.

Of course, Daniel doesn’t expect Kevin to play a decisive role, but within Marvel, having a big man who supports the dd acquisition plan will still bring a lot of convenience-of course, this does not point to the convenience of selling negotiation intelligence, but It’s in terms of communication, rapport negotiation process, etc.

“Daniel—”

“uh-huh?”

“Did you expect the failure of The Incredible Hulk?”

Kevin’s voice was a little confused. He didn’t think that Daniel was digging a hole for Marvel by pushing the Hulk. After all, he decided to shoot the story of Hulk. It is still a decision made by the Marvel Board of Directors and has nothing to do with Daniel. And the plan to be released on the same day as “The Bourne 3” was also proposed by Marvel. As a Marvel guy, he knows why.

The stupid act of a group of brainless people!

After the board analyzed the market. It is not wrong to think that the market can accommodate two blockbusters competing at the same time, in fact, this is also the norm, and blockbusters from different companies sometimes collide. Therefore, under this premise, they intend to touch the light of “Spy 3”. Since Daniel and Greenglass have announced. After I would not continue this series, “Spy Shots 3” has received sufficient attention. As the final chapter, it can always attract many people, whether they are always satisfied or once dissatisfied.

Marvel’s board of directors intends to use Universal to get The Incredibles 3 followers to include The Incredible Hulk. After all, as the distributor of the two works, Universal Pictures does have this convenience. During the publicity period, a lot of bundled news materials appeared.

But the result was obviously beyond their expectations.

Instead of letting “The Incredible Hulk” hitch a ride, “Spy 3” instead raised a big sniper and gave it a fatal blow.

There is no coexistence relationship between the two at all. The Hulk was left far behind by Byrne and kept watching it rush through 200 million, while he stopped at the red line of 80 million.

Daniel can understand Kevin Feige’s confusion~www.mtlnovel.com~ In fact, this version of “Hulk” is indeed better than Ann Lee’s version in terms of viewing, and it is far from commercialized. It surpassed that version, but the box office was not as good as that one. There were many reasons. He had no intention of giving Kevin an afterthought speech.

“It feels a little bit, but it’s not so clear, maybe, it’s just the wrong schedule?”

“I don’t know, the market and the audience are elusive, and no one can grasp what they want. Maybe, the future of superhero movies is not as bright as we imagined.” Kevin was a little dejected, but quickly realized To himself he made a mistake, “Of course, Daniel, it’s incredible that you seem to be able to do this.”

No matter how exaggerated the renderings of newspapers and websites are, Kevin Feige, and many others, have no personal experience with Daniel’s legendary experience, but generally believe that this is indeed a remarkable achievement. However, it was not until it happened to himself that Kevin realized that grasping the market and grasping the audience, these not so surprising words, were so difficult to achieve.

“Maybe, maybe it would be a good idea to hand over Marvel to dd Pictures.”

Kevin thought silently.

……

When “Juno” landed at the Toronto International Film Festival and held its premiere, Hollywood knew about dd’s new move: the acquisition of Marvel! (To be continued.)
