Chapter 195 Spider-Man Returns
William Chen took out the [Black Swan Scroll] from the interface of the Future Bank. After choosing to use it, he saw a scroll of parchment spread out in front of him. At this time, he was holding a simple quill pen in his hand. .
After thinking for a while, William Chen used the quill pen to write on the scroll——
"I'm going to buy Twentieth Century Fox."
After writing this, a confirmation prompt box popped up in front of him. After he chose to confirm, the scroll in front of him flashed with golden light, gradually disintegrating into fragments and disappearing into the air. At this time, the quill pen in his hand no longer existed.
Uh, is this the end?There are no dazzling special effects, and there is nothing abnormal at all.
Next, William Chen received a call and took a helicopter to the Marvel headquarters on Fifth Avenue in New York.
The call was made by the CEO of Marvel, Keith Ellison. He said excitedly that the president of Sony Pictures had come to Marvel and was about to sign a contract with them to return the copyright of the Spider-Man series.
Hearing this news, Chen William Station felt quite speechless, since he went to Japan last time and negotiated with Sony Corporation President Howard Stringer to take back the copyright of the Spider-Man series from Sony Corporation at a price of [-] million US dollars. , more than a month has passed
It was only at this time that Sony Pictures finally started to act, and the execution was too poor.
But after thinking about it for a while, Chen William can already understand the tricks. After Sony Corporation headquarters made the decision to let Marvel Pictures take back the copyright of the Spider-Man series at a price of [-] million US dollars, Sony Pictures in the United States must definitely It was a struggle.
After all, although this decision was to save the financial situation of Sony headquarters, it was too cruel for Sony Pictures.
As Sony Pictures, which has the least series of IPs among the six major Hollywood film companies, the Spider-Man series can be said to be the most important IP in their hands. The value of these IPs in "Game" is not very high, and their importance cannot be compared with that of the Spider-Man series.
But now it seems that the struggle of Sony Pictures has finally failed. After all, from the perspective of Sony's headquarters, the future of Sony is the most important. Although Sony Pictures is an important department of them, but at this time , their interests can also be temporarily sacrificed.
So at this time, the president of Sony Pictures finally came to Marvel reluctantly and signed a contract with them to take back the copyright of the Spider-Man series.
But at this time, William Chen finally remembered that when calculating his expenses during this period of time, he would need to invest [-] million U.S. dollars to acquire the copyright of the Spider-Man series from Sony Pictures and forgot.
After Sony Pictures signs the contract with Marvel, it will definitely need to transfer the [-] million US dollars into their account.
Fortunately, William Chen has a loan line of [-] million U.S. dollars in the future bank that has not been used, and now he can do a short-term emergency.
So after William Chen arrived at Marvel, accompanied by the excited face of Marvel CEO Keith Ellison, he completed the contract with Sony Pictures.
No wonder Keith Ellison was so excited, although Chen William promised to gradually take back the copyrights of the superheroes they had sold to other companies to Marvel when William Chen collected enough of them. But he never thought that this day would come so soon.
Spider-Man is Marvel's most well-known superhero. Otherwise, Columbia Pictures, the predecessor of Sony Pictures, would not have chosen to buy only the copyright of the Spider-Man series among all of Marvel's superhero copyrights.
After taking back the copyright of the Spider-Man series, the copyrights of superheroes left by Marvel are mainly the copyrights of the X-Men and Fantastic Four in the hands of [-]th Century Fox, and the distribution rights of Hulk independent movies in the hands of Universal.
Therefore, if Chen William can successfully acquire [-]th Century Fox again, it means that Marvel's most important superhero copyrights have basically returned to the company.
As for the few copyrights left outside, they are all unimportant individuals. As long as the other party does not make related movies within five years, they will automatically return to the company.
Those characters basically have no market value without the cooperation of other series of movies. Marvel has a lot of ways to recover these unknown copyrights.As long as the related characters are no longer mentioned in the films they shot in the early stage, they don’t increase the popularity of these characters, and they don’t release new related comics, then there is no need for the other party to shoot, and no one wants to lose money to make movies of.
Therefore, after signing the contract to repurchase the copyright of the Spider-Man series, Meta Investment Company borrowed 5 million U.S. dollars from William Chen's personal account, and then invested it into the account of Marvel Corporation, and completed the transfer to Sony Pictures, thus repurchasing the copyright of the Spider-Man series. take back.
The conclusion of this agreement is a good start for Marvel to take back the previously sold copyright.
Now that he has come to Marvel, Chen William also asked the CEO of Marvel, Keith Ellison, about the production status of the company's two films - "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk".
Ellison said that both films are currently filming, and Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige is taking charge of the filming of these two films.
Chen William also knows a little bit about the situation of "Iron Man" in these two movies, because as "Iron Man" at certain moments, his "Little Pepper"-Amber Heard is also participating in this film. The filming of the film.
The two in the middle also communicated through HOLA. Ms. Pepper said that she would keep the costumes from the filming, and then exchange some clips about the movie with him.
Well, it's mainly the maintenance skills of Mr. Iron Man's energy cannon...
……
"Wow, we meet again, Miss Delphine, but if you didn't come to talk to me about Hermes, I would be very happy to chat with you for a while."
William Chen looked at the two "uninvited guests" in front of him, Delphine Arnault with a formulaic smile, and Rick Walton with a helpless expression, and said to the former with a smile.
"I hope you can reconsider my proposal, Mr. William."
However, Delfina didn't seem to have much desire, chatted happily with William Chen according to his ideas, and still firmly proposed what he expected-hoping to acquire his shares in Hermes.
"You don't understand, Miss Delphine, when your direction is wrong, the harder you work, the farther away you will be from success."
When William Chen finished speaking, his heart suddenly moved. He thought, normally a girl from a family like Delphine Arnault should not be like this. Could it be that she was really well protected before?
Or, Chen Weilian glanced at her vigilantly, and a terrifying thought appeared in his mind - she couldn't be attracted by her unfathomable appearance, and wanted to use this excuse to get closer to him.
If that's the case, then...it's too scary, not to mention that she is not the type I like, even her family background is also a trouble.
At this time, Delfina continued:
"Mr. William, I know that you and Rick are doing e-commerce together. If you can transfer the shares of Hermès to our LVMH group, then we will have a lot of cooperation, such as in e-commerce..."
Eh, how did she know... William Chen looked at Rick Walton, only to see him shaking his head.
But according to Delphine, Zoom on her side does have room for cooperation with the LVMH Group. Although those luxury goods are not suitable for their style of selling daily groceries on Zoom, things like make-up and perfume are. can cooperate.
Even so, it is definitely impossible for Hermes to sell them, William Chen thought, and his eyes fell on Rick Walton, good brother, it's up to you.
"Let's not talk about Hermès anymore, Miss Delphine. But if you are interested in the cooperation between our e-commerce and LVMH Group, you can talk to my friend Rick more, you know, Wal-Mart It's their family's business, I believe you will have good topics to talk about in these areas."
William Chen felt a little unusual just now, why do you call yourself Mr. William, and call him Rick?And this guy Rick directly led Delphine to find him, it seems...
Anyway, no matter what, good brother, you can help me hold this young lady first.
"But Mr. William..."
"I'm really sorry. I'm going to fly to Huaguo right now. I really don't have time to tell you more. Rick also knows about it."
While speaking, William Chen checked the time, handed Delphine to Rick Walton, and left here.
