Chapter 759： leader

After several contacts, on June 8, Mann Media and Marvel Entertainment finally reached an agreement.

Among them, Mann Media will acquire all the shares of Marvel Entertainment for a total price of 1.53 billion US dollars, and Marvel has also officially announced that it will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mann Media.

After that, the caa side received a favor fee of 45 million US dollars, and returned happily. The sufficient cash paid off a large part of the debt owed by Marvel, and the debt ratio dropped from 58% to 7%.

This acquisition also reduced Mann Media's liquidity reserves from 2.04 billion to 470 million.

It can sustain the daily operations of several companies for about a year. However, after Juno draws, there will be a box office income of no less than 84 million US dollars. The financial situation will not be very serious.

It can even be said that it is difficult to find such an opportunity to intervene in Marvel.

Everyone knows that after Marvel took off by gambling, its market value doubled wildly in a very short period of time, and Iron Man was released in 2008. 4.2 billion in 2009.

And this, in addition to Lehman waiting for two years and preparing for two years, is also the result of the joint influence of the time and people.

You know, without the tightening of bank lending and the instability of the financial market, housing prices have begun to fall, and negotiations with Marvel's large and small shareholders will never be so easy.

It is also because of this change that many shareholders have ignored Marvel's investment and are in urgent need of cash.

In addition, Brian Lord has mastered first-hand information and strong public relations capabilities, directly contacting Marvel management, and communicating with the controlling party, completely cutting off the idea of ​​Avi Allard and others making a big bet.

Of course, the production ability of Firefly, which has been continuously proven by the market, is also one of the reasons for stabilizing people's hearts.

June 9.

Witnessed by a number of media, Lehmann, Avi Allard and Ikpatem officially appeared and reported the news to the media amicably.

This is just a normal acquisition in the circle, but because it involves Marvel Entertainment, which has a great influence in the American comics market, it is still worth reporting.

The news, online and comic fans, quickly brought the matter into the spotlight.

Not only some people care a lot, but also fans of Firefly are deeply concerned.

Mainly, many people can think of what to buy Marvel for.

No one can ignore the huge success of Spider-Man.

Warner Pictures, DC President Anthony was also pondering Lehman's intentions after hearing the news.

But no matter how you think about it, Marvel is indeed a mess, but it's just that people who have always been shrewd can be confused sometimes.

If Marvel was really valuable, Columbia could have won it two years earlier.

After the filming of Spider-Man, the high-level executives made an asset evaluation of Marvel, and did not think there was a need for acquisition.

Of course, Lehmann doesn't care what the outside world thinks or says, because time and results will prove everything.

this afternoon.

Lehman took the report in Joseph's hand and instructed: "You select a group of people from Firefly to enter Marvel, and contact the headhunting company to find some experienced managers in the circle to fill the remaining vacancies. How to arrange it, Think more."

When Joseph went out, Ryan entered and said, "People are already waiting outside, do you want him to come in?"

"Well, tell him to come here."

After Ryan left, a short while later, a tall, fat white man in his 40s with a fat figure entered the office with two faint dark circles under his eyes.

......

Kevin Feige hasn't slept well since Marvel was acquired by Mann Media.

You said that he is a producer, and he is a person who has the opportunity to get in touch with this industry because of his role in Marvel. He has finally accumulated some work experience, and his salary has been steadily improved. As a result, he encountered changes in the company's top management.

Not knowing what his future will be like, Kevin is a little worried.

Then, he was informed that the big boss wanted to see him, and his mood suddenly became nervous again.

After entering, I only dared to look at it for a while, and then quickly looked away, quietly waiting for the boss's instructions.

Seeing this, Lehman took a good look at Kevin.

Appearance, I have seen a lot in the past life, it is quite ordinary, but it is such a person who has brought Marvel to a new height.

If Avi Allard is the savior who saved Marvel from the brink of bankruptcy, then Kevin Feige is the leader of the rapid rise of Marvel. Qiqi's novels are first published on the whole network

"Kevin, according to your resume, do you have participated in many adaptations of Marvel characters?"

Kevin Feige listened to the boss's more affectionate address and felt that there might be a good thing. He couldn't help but cheer up, and tried to calm down and replied: "At that time, Marvel lacked a person of my own to supervise the production crew, so I went to the top, these Over the years, I have been doing similar work.”

Kevin's production talent lies in his ability to connect the characters of various series of films, fully cater to the audience's taste, and has a strong business acumen.

And the reason why he has such a keen eye is also because this gentleman, as a person from Marvel, joined various studios to cooperate in the development of Marvel movies, including the X-Men series.

In general, he understands Marvel characters very well, participates in the production process of various works, and understands the market factors for success, which has laid the foundation for him to develop the Marvel universe.

In other words, the producers who are better than him don't understand Marvel better than him, and those who know Marvel better than him, can't make films, plus he can fully investigate the market audience, and those who are not pedantic think that adapting comics is just copying the image design. Surely, how could such a person not be suitable for the president of Marvel Studios?

Yes, the first person Lehman proposed was Kevin Feige. He is also an old man of Marvel. He has both qualifications and abilities. Of course, he should be promoted to the executive officer of the Marvel project as in his previous life. Give him sufficient voice.

Kevin Feige saw that Layman was all arranged, and he was unwilling to leave the field he was already familiar with. Of course, he accepted it politely.

"There is one thing you can know first. In a few days, I will split Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment. When it comes to the corresponding administrative level, the first thing after you take office is to improve the personnel structure as soon as possible. , if there is a shortage of people, go to recruit."

Lehman continued to say to Kevin Feige, who was about to be promoted to the president of the film industry: "Also, in the second half of this year, I will set up a movie to adapt the role of Iron Man. Before the official project, you can go to Firefly's screenwriting department. Come up with an idea for a shoot, and you can think of it as a test."

Hearing this, Kevin felt the pressure instantly.

This position won't be so easy to take, but he certainly won't give up.

Can be valued by the new boss, how can such an opportunity retreat?哽噺蹓帽奇奇 Novel 蛧|w~w~

Furthermore, he has been thinking about how to shoot Marvel's own movies, but the previously established Marvel Studios was just an empty shell used to cooperate with other studios, without the production capacity, so the idea was not realized. way.

"Also," Ryman waved his hand and said, "Marvel Pictures is separated from Marvel Entertainment, and you shouldn't have too much contact Do you understand?"

"clear."

Kevin hesitated for a while, sorted out the language, and then said, "I don't know the department's expenses... Also, which way should the expenses be accounted for?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Since I want to reuse Marvel Studios, of course I will arrange it. Joseph will help with the specific financial reporting. You only need to do production and project development. If there is any problem in the comics department, don't pay attention to it and report it truthfully. That's it."

When Kevin Feige walked out of the boss's office, he was still in a trance, but he was more motivated.

Is the first adaptation of the character Iron Man?

Technology?

......

Rust Manor, night.

Eva sat on the balcony with the cool wind blowing and flipped through the newspaper.

Not long after, another one came back.

The sound of the car's engine, the door opening, the butler's greeting, and then, the sound of him coming over to tease.

"What are you doing?"

Eva sorted out the clothes that had been touched, glared at a certain lustful man, and spread out the newspaper on her own.

"Am I beyond the temptation of a newspaper?"

The man's shameless voice sounded.

"Humph, this is a report on Juno's painting, how nice to say it."

"Tossing and turning is a dark horse and a dark horse. It's a commonplace, nothing new."

Eva ignored him. This is a movie she supervised. Can it mean the same thing?

"That's right, you used to play the role, but now you choose the role, it's very novel."

"Forget it, let's go to bed. You wash first, or I wash first, or... wash together?"

"Don't talk, don't talk, it's the default. We've been together for so long."

Lehman thought about it, and finally picked up the lovely goblin.

Ah fight, monster, eat my old grandson!
