During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 31: The prototype of Marvel Entertainment Empire (below)

Li Jie glanced at Michael with a look as if he was mentally retarded, but it quickly covered up. After all, it was a commercial negotiation. Even if he doesn't like this arrogant middle-aged man. But this does not mean that he will not do some basic courtesy on the scene.

Li Jie smiled for a while, instead of answering some unreasonable questions from Michael, he opened the topic and asked: "Mr. Eisner, coffee or tea?"

"Coffee, double espresso, sugar-free and milk-free." Although Li Jie does not like to disrupt his rhythm, this will affect his own initiative to negotiate next. But Melk answered Li Jie politely.

"Mr. Li, let us return ..." The two words of the topic haven't been spoken before, and Michael's words were interrupted again.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, don't worry too much. Mr. Eisner, tea time. If you don't mind, why not sit down with me in the garden at the back of the villa, have a cup of coffee and eat a piece of cake, and then talk slowly." Li Jie said with a smile.

"Hah?" Michael didn't like this very much, his rhythm was taken away.

When Li Jie rented the Marvel Company headquarters, he did not rent high-priced office buildings. At the beginning, because of financial problems and did not expect to develop so fast. Therefore, the current Marvel Company headquarters is still a large villa located in Flushing, Queens.

With a garden of nearly three hundred square meters plus a one in four standard swimming pool size swimming pool. Because things like comics and story editing are inspirational creations, Li Jie hopes that his painters and editors are in a relatively relaxed state, because only in this way can they produce good enough comic stories.

So in the small garden at the back, Li Jie has also been carefully managed, and has planted some shrubs and flowers allowed by the New York City Council to grow in the garden. (New York City has strict rules about what can be grown in its own gardens and lawns.)

Of course, this is a place for everyone to relax. Several outdoor seats made of pear wood threes and twos are scattered in this small garden.

Li Jie asked Michael to sit opposite a pear wood table and asked the assistant to bring two cups of coffee and some snacks.

"Doughnuts, cheese bread and chocolate shortbread." Li Jie handed the plate delivered to Michael in front of him and said to him: "Dim Sum we generally offer here in the afternoon."

Mike ’s eyes gave Li Jie a complicated look: "You do this, I feel that I am not in New York, but in Paris. It seems that only the French will be so leisurely at work."

Li Jie waved his hand: "No, no. The afternoon tea in Paris is much more exquisite, such as Napoleon cake, macarons, creamy squares and French layer cakes."

"I am just rough snacks, full of American flavor. Look at our cups of coffee and mugs with comic cartoon characters. The French must not look down on them, just say: Rude Americans."

"But if it is seen by Asians, such as Chinese or Orientals, it will say another sentence: American time (refers to laziness during working hours, or also called Mo Yang Gong.)"

Li Jie took a coffee cup and took a sip, and naturally took a chocolate donut from the plate and handed it to Michael: "Look, Mr. Eisner, do n’t need to be too serious."

Michael took the doughnut from Li Jie and took a bite, huh? I seem to be fooled. This is the rhythm that brings me into Li Jie. He didn't find it just now, but now he has recovered.

He chewed the chocolate donut quickly and swallowed it, and finally could n’t help saying, “Mr. Li? You really just graduated from high school?”

"If my school did not lie to me, I think the graduation certificate I obtained some time ago should be true." Li Jie said indispensably.

"Okay Mr. Michael, is it easier to sit in the garden than in the office, at least our discussion will not be so tense and constrained."

Michael looked at Li Jie and nodded: "You still have a little reason to say that."

"So good, so that I can tell you the answer to the question I just asked, without worrying about you being too violent or simply thinking that I do n’t know how high it is." Li Jie instantly changed the subject, making Michael almost unable to keep up Rhythm of thinking.

Michael: "What?"? "I refuse, I will not sell Marvel Company under any conditions. Any conditions!" Li Jie emphasized the pronunciation.

Michael thinks what Li Jie said is a bit more magical, just like he just said. If Li Jie just said this directly, he would probably be uncomfortable. And I might think that this young man is ignorant, because the person speaking in front of him is the president of Michael Eisner, Disney Group!

But because Li Jie ’s actions came down, he did n’t walk away like he thought, or made any other bad moves. Instead, he asked with some interest, “Why? I do n’t even know what conditions I can put forward. "

"Isn't that important, right? Just like if Tony Stark said he was willing to spend a sum of money that you could spend as much as you want for the rest of your life, on the condition that you give up the position of Disney President and let him be. You Do you agree? "Li Jie looked at Michael and said.

"No, by no means." Michael is a person who is very obsessed with the position of the Disney president. In 80s, he rescued the rivers and rivers and was on the verge of becoming a second and third-tier company.

It took him two decades to bring Disney from Hollywood blockbuster to the hands of six Hollywood filmmakers, the world's top entertainment empire.

Right to let go? Kill him!

If you ask Li Jie like this, Michael knows that it is impossible to buy Marvel Company from Li Jie. There is no reason not to sell it. Just like he couldn't give up his position, it wasn't because the conditions were not enough, it was just not giving up.

However, business negotiations have never been a simple one and ended when conditions failed. Just like the Chinese college entrance examination university fills in the volunteers at a glance, there are always the first and the second.

"I'm not the president just for money, Jason." Michael called Li Jie's name.

"Then we all look similar, Michael." Li Jie also called his name.

Removing the conversation by surname seems a lot easier.

Michael showed his emotional quotient as the helm of the world ’s top entertainment group. He consciously said: "Then I think our ideals are similar and do something that others cannot. For example, to spread the influence of Marvel Company all over the world, Let everyone know the name. "

Li Jie is not going to tell his real ideals with a businessman like Michael, it ’s a bit silly, so he nodded following Michael ’s words: "Yes."

"But, Jason. There is a very real problem, even if you have an unusually large IP, you ca n’t turn this content into something that is more widely spread. Know that compared to comics or In terms of games, this is not the most mainstream and influential project in the world. "Michael said intentionally.

"For example, in movies, you should know the situation of another old comic company, dg. They are more established than you. Although comics and animation have been done for decades, it is the movie that transfers the brand dg to the whole world. ! "Michael said seriously.

"The trilogy of" Night Owl: The Mystery of Owl "," Night Owl: The Owl of Night "and" Night Owl: The Dawn of Night Owl "have made more than a billion dollars at the box office around the world, plus its The games and peripheral products brought out by the expanded influence really let dg out of financial difficulties. "

"They have also made movies countless times in the past few decades. The earliest years of" Hiberon 1 "," Hiberon 2 "and" Night Owl 1989 "are basically lost money. Even because these movies put The company has dragged into a huge crisis, and they still have no plans to stop filming! Why is this? Because they know what will best please the audience! "Michael showed off his lobbying skills.

"It wasn't until 21st Century's" Night Owl "trilogy brought them out of trouble! Later, he also filmed" Hiberon: The Body of Cast Iron "" Nightowl versus Hyperion "(aka" Their Mother Is Called Martha ") although this later one Whether the film is good or bad, but the previous ones have been successful, have n’t they? "

"And the new movie" Wonder Woman "recently released, the rotten tomato index exceeded 88, sweeping the box office around the world. The heroine's limelight is instantaneous, gaining countless fans. dg also earned a lot of money. Michael continued to stare into Li Jie's eyes.

"Now the box office of this movie is close to 600 million US dollars, and the world is expected to be 750 million! Not only money, Jason! This is influence! dg's next movie is ready for" League of Hope " ! "

"Jason listened to me that their stories are not as old-fashioned and outdated as your company, and most of them are not suitable for the whole family to watch, but they are still countless fans around the world. Believe me, only filming can make Marvel influence The strength is all over the world! "Michael's real fox tail appeared.

"If Marvel wants to build its own entertainment empire like dg, then movies are indispensable. And I am the president of Disney, you should understand Disney's influence in the global movie market!"

"So, what do you want?" Li Jie squinted, drinking coffee and eating chocolate shortcakes.

"The right to adapt heroic characters! I can put them all on the big screen and let the world see the story of the true heroes of this world!" Michael stared at Li Jie's eyes.

Li Jie seemed to inadvertently ask: "Whose one?"

"Of course I most expect Captain Rogers, but I believe you will not easily sell this copyrighted film adaptation right. I think Spider-Man is also very good and can be used as the first shot of Marvel!" Michael used a small Small negotiation skills.

But Li Jie doesn't care much about Michael's skills because he has his own plans. The sale of film adaptation rights can be detrimental to your subsequent plans.

He looked at Michael and said, "If I remember correctly, the shooting companies of dg movies are all Warner. To be honest, Michael Disney is not so good in the movie market now?"

"How many other big-name ips does Disney have in hand?" Pirates of the Caribbean5 "was released some time ago, but the box office was killed by Warner's" Wonder Woman "." Li Jie was very welcome.

"George Lucas's" Star Wars "series? Although the previously released" Rogue One "invited Chinese actors and wanted to win the Chinese market, but the box office has become a dog. The culture of Chinese star wars is not so deep. Even for new students A generation of Americans, such as my friend Harry Osbourne, could not understand "Rogue One". You made the story too ambitious. If you can't make it, I'm afraid that the "Star Wars" IP will be thrown. "

Li Jie talked eloquently. Michael felt that although he kept improving his estimation of Li Jie, he still underestimated him.

Li Jie continued: "Warner completed the" Harry Potter "series and became the most popular IP in the world. Now it is relying on the strong rise of the dg series of movies. The number of dg comic comic heroes can be quite large. If it ’s too powerful, the seventeen or eighty parts are still okay, enough for them to support the next ten years. Disney ca n’t take the "Pirates of the Caribbean series" to the fifteenth. "

Li Jie looked at Michael, he said with a smile: "So, compared to Marvel needs Disney, Disney should need Marvel more!"

What Li Jie said made Michael sweat a little: "But Marvel Company can't make a movie by himself, that's complicated."

Li Jie shrugged and did n’t deny Michael ’s words: “I do n’t deny what you said, Michael, Hollywood is not so confusing. Even if Harry and Tony are willing to invest in me, I ca n’t spend hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot some The bad movie comes out ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Li Jie put out a finger: "But sell copyright? This is impossible. We should change to another way of cooperation, Michael. "

What Li Jie said made Michael Eisner a little dissatisfied, which negates one of his most important needs.

Li Jie saw Michael ’s dissatisfaction, he smiled and said: "Michael, you only know that I have the copyright of the hero? But what kind of treaty do I sign with them?"

Without asking Michael to guess, Li Jie himself announced: "It is full power! Even I can persuade those superhero to fight in front of the camera lens! Even if only a few appearances, I think you should understand the value of this!"

Li Jie touched his chin. Well, at least some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. called Wade Wilson is persuasive.

"So, the form of our cooperation should be changed so that Marvel's films will be released globally, and it is a win-win for you and me!" Li Jie looked at Michael and waited for him to make a correct decision.
