For Marvel, they can be more patient, because this is a toy; but for Apple, they cannot be relaxed at all, because they are the enemy!

"Feng, do you really plan to go on like this without seeing Cook?" Lu Lu had already come to Li Feng's side with bare feet at this time.

Li Feng shook his head and said: "There is no need to see him. Now Jobs must come in person, otherwise reconciliation will be impossible, and I have no plans to reconcile now!"

By this time, although Cook was Apple's vice president, he was still not qualified to discuss this matter with Li Feng. Since Jobs still wanted to lose face, he would give him all the face he had.

Lu Lu smiled and said: "I know what you mean, but in my opinion, you can meet Cook, not because of the matter between you and Jobs, but because Cook is a good talent. If you can

It will be of some help to dig him into sharpness!"

"Poach!"

Li Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lu Lu to think like this. To be honest, Li Feng still looked down on Cook in his heart. After all, after Cook took over Apple, Apple's products seemed to have lost their souls.

But then Li Feng also realized that he was a little idealistic, or that his requirements for Cook were too high. After all, as the successor of Jobs, he subconsciously put him and Jobs in the same position, but in this world

How many years does it take for someone like Steve Jobs to appear?

It is a very good thing that Cook can become his successor. How is it possible for someone with the same unrivaled experience as Steve Jobs!

And Cook also wants to prove to the world that he is a top world entrepreneur and a very good supply chain manager.

It's just that it's not the time to poach people yet.

"Let's take a look. Let's deal with the Marvel issue in the next two days and then talk about it later!" Li Feng finally decided. Regardless of whether he saw Cook or not, he still hoped to resolve the Marvel issue first.

"Did you get a message back from Paramount?" Lu Lu asked.

She just found out about Li Feng's call to Paramount.

Li Feng smiled and said: "I'm back. I'll reply soon. I'm going to meet Brad Gray tomorrow."

Brad Gray has been the chairman and CEO of Paramount since the year before last. Under his leadership, Paramount will firmly dominate the global market share next year, 2008, and in the next two years.

It occupies the first position and ranks second in market share in North America.

At the same time, he is also an editor and a producer, so he has a very good understanding of the film industry.

Lu Lu nodded. At Li Feng's level, not to mention Brad Gray, even Lei Shidong had to meet him immediately.

Paramount Pictures was acquired by Redstone in 1994 and is now an important part of Redstone's Viacom Media.

"By the way, honey, how was the discussion with those people on Wall Street?" Li Feng asked.

"There were a few twists and turns in the middle, but it was resolved quickly!" Lu Lu said proudly: "This kind of thing is actually not too difficult as long as the money is in place."

At first, when Lu Lu made an offer to those investment institutions to purchase shares of Marvel Studios, they were unwilling to accept it. Now, the news that Marvel plans to independently shoot its own superhero movies has already been widely circulated.

Everyone was willing to take a gamble and see what happened to Marvel's own movies, so they were not willing to accept Lu Lu's first acquisition application.

However, when Lu Lu raised the price by 10%, the other party became a little moved. After all, film investment is inherently a high-risk matter. Although Wall Street capital has long eroded the major studios in Hollywood,

But what everyone is more willing to believe are the big studios, such as movie companies like Disney.

In fact, the current operation of the Hollywood film industry no longer funds the filming alone. It is more about them proposing a project, and then their own company will first evaluate the project. If the risk level is relatively low,

For projects, such as those directed by directors like Spielberg, they will use more of their own funds. If the risk is relatively high, they will also use it to raise funds, and the largest number of them are Wall Street investment institutions.

.

Wall Street capital's invasion of various industries is pervasive.

Marvel has failed too many times, so much so that many investment institutions have evaluated Marvel stock as useless. It would be a pity not to sell it, but it would be a pity even more to keep it...

Now, suddenly there is a scapegoat who is willing to buy their own Marvel shares at a 10% premium. Naturally, they are tempted.

It is unknown if you keep it, and you may continue to lose money. If you sell it, you will definitely get 10% of the income. Everyone will naturally settle the account.

However, they will still be reserved. Since the other party can increase it by 10%, it is possible to increase it by 15% or 20%. Don't think that only domestic businessmen know the sky-high prices and pay them back on the spot.

Businessmen all over the world share this virtue. "If you have money, you are a master." This is true everywhere.

Lu Lu naturally knows the virtues of these people, and it is impossible for her to follow the rhythm of this group of people, so during the conference call, Lu Lu directly stated that she could increase the purchase price to 15%, but this was also the final offer.

, after all, I just want to invest in Marvel, not control Marvel.

Lu Lu told a little lie here. Everyone also thought that the current culprit should not be so stupid and wanted to completely acquire Marvel. So when Lu Lu said this, everyone was immediately moved.

After the heartbeat comes action!

Soon Lu Lu acquired a part of Marvel's shares. Even she herself did not expect that the whole thing would be so easy, but this also proved from the side that Marvel was really disappointing at this time.

What's wrong is that grandma doesn't love her, and uncle doesn't love her!

"I will fly to New York to go through these procedures tomorrow. Do you want to go there with me?" Lu Lu asked Li Feng's opinion.

Li Feng shook his head and said: "I won't go. After all, if I come forward, it will easily cause some unnecessary trouble!"

Li Feng and Lu Lu are two different concepts. Although Lu Lu has made some investments in North America in recent years, compared with Li Feng’s investments, they are nothing compared to Li Feng’s investments. There is no airtight wall in this world. Li Feng’s investment in

North American investment has long become a classic case on Wall Street. Almost everyone has studied Li Feng’s investment ideas and wants to learn something from it.

Otherwise, no one would call Li Feng: "the godfather of investment of the new generation."

Now if they knew that Li Feng wanted to acquire Marvel, then it would not be a matter of a 15% premium. A 20%, 30% or even 50% premium would be possible.

This is the power of Li Feng.

Lu Lu also knew these things and said: "Okay, I will try to get all these investment institutions done at once tomorrow, and then come back to accompany you early!"

Li Feng nodded and said, "That's good work, honey!"

Lu Lu said with a slightly red face: "I hate it, are you still so polite to me?"

It was actually getting dark at this time, but does time matter?

Obviously it's not important!

It's time for some interesting activities!

.......

On the next day, when Li Feng opened his eyes, the beauty was no longer around him. Sometimes Li Feng really wondered why women had better recovery capabilities than men in this regard even though they spent the same amount of time.

Is it really because men are the ones who give, and women are the ones who receive, but both of them were clearly involved last night, not to mention that Lu Lu was also on top...

Scratching his head, Li Feng got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. He sprinkled cool water on himself, which restored Li Feng's spirit. Since he went to see Brad Gray today, it was natural to cut off the distribution of Marvel.

channel.

Marvel's reputation in Hollywood is a bit weird now. First of all, with the success of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man", it has actually attracted many companies to pay attention to Marvel again, but Marvel's previous shady operations are also of great concern.

It really makes everyone wary of Marvel.

After all, the title of Bankrupt Curse is not given for nothing, and at the same time, not all Marvel superheroes are successful.

For example, in 2003, "X-Men" and Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man" had already been released, and Universal, which held the Hulk rights, was also preparing to release a "Hulk" movie.

It is said that Hulk's copyright is much better than that of Iron Man, which was sold back and forth. Hulk was originally sold to Universal along with Iron Man, but Hulk's status in Universal is much more stable.

When Li Feng was reborn, the copyright of the Hulk did not return to Marvel but remained in the hands of Universal.

In fact, Universal has already started producing Hulk movies after acquiring the copyright of the Hulk. However, Universal has been struggling with script issues. It is no exaggeration to say that from the preparation of the Hulk movie in 1992 to the release of Li's movie in 2003,

When the Anna version of "The Incredible Hulk" was released, one script was changed again and again.

The first people to write the script were Stan Lee and "GoldenEye" screenwriter Michael French.

Universal planned to have the Hulk fight terrorists, but Marvel and Stan Lee disagreed. The two sides were at odds until 1995. During this period, the screenwriters were changed before the next version of the script was finalized, and the director of "Game of the Brave" Joe was invited.

Johnston serves as director.

Later this person went to film "Captain America".

But the director was not satisfied with the script and took it back to rewrite it.

After many twists and turns, the script was revised, but it was discovered that the director had left to film "October Sky" and the project was still canceled.

At this time, the new screenwriter felt that his body was hollowed out and said that he could not do this job, so Universal invited Michael France, who had been fired before, to come back to work as a writer. God knows what happened in the meantime, and the result was that it went further and further away, and the Hulk script was changed.

It became a comedy, and the casting options for Dr. Banner were Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler...

I guess it's because of "The Stranger in Disguise", since they are all green...

In the end, Ang Lee took over the movie version and once again made drastic changes to the script. Many screenwriters, including "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" screenwriter J.J. Abrams, participated in the script work, even until

When filming for "The Incredible Hulk" started, the script had not yet been revised.

But Universal seems to be at odds with superheroes. Hulk is such a popular character, and Ang Lee's version of "The Incredible Hulk" cost 130 million, resulting in a loss of both box office and reputation. Li Feng has actually seen this version of "The Incredible Hulk"

", he felt pretty good at the time, but he just didn't restore the comics and fans didn't buy it.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Marvel Universe, Marvel planned to take back the copyright of Hulk last year, and Universal Pictures, which was not good at managing superheroes, agreed, and the two companies hit it off immediately.

But the copyright cannot be given to you for free, so there was an agreement at that time that Marvel would take back the copyright of Hulk, but Universal would have the creative priority and distribution rights of Hulk movies.

It is precisely because of this agreement that "The Incredible Hulk" produced by Universal in 2008 was very strange, unprecedented and unprecedented.

This movie was invested by Marvel, and Iron Man also made a cameo as an Easter egg at the end, but the movie was produced and distributed by Universal.

At that time, Marvel Studios, which had just made movies independently, was eager to expand its power and counted this movie as part of the Marvel Universe. However, the film's visuals and style were different from Marvel's own works.

And all this started to get out of control after Disney acquired Marvel.
To be continued...
