Chapter 1947 The more you play, the bigger
"The "X-Men" series returns to Marvel! It will further expand the "Marvel Cinematic Universe"!"
"Let's watch and cherish it! The X-Men's return to Marvel's many works have died, and there are only five movies left in the series!"
"X-Men" confirmed to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Marvel will become the overlord of the film industry!"
After Murdoch and Andy signed the Underworld Alliance, the two sides soon held a press conference to end the lawsuit caused by the two sides during this period. The New York Post apologized and paid $50 million in settlement compensation. Finally, it was announced that the two sides made the decision to return the mutant copyright to Marvel after commercial negotiations.
As soon as the news came out, an uproar immediately broke out. Everyone speculated that there must be a huge inside story here. After all, the dispute over the copyright of mutants had already begun. Fox was determined to ignore Marvel's nonsense and had been attracting much attention. Suddenly, the two companies reached a deal. If there was nothing tricky in it, no one would believe it.
Those American media colleagues who were waiting to see the fight between the two media empires began to inquire about the inside story while being shocked. While ordinary consumers lamented that Andy Smith had taken the initiative to "unify the Marvel World", they were also full of expectations for the strong alliance of entertainment IPs under both sides. Among them, the most exciting news for comic fans and movie fans is that "the X-Men is expected to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
As Marvel Studios Ceo Kevin Feige, who was surrounded by the media for not being able to interview Andy Smith, said in an interview, "I think this is the only way to make sense. Because I have talked to Fox people before, I'm here to be cautious, but I think they also know that only Marvel can make the most sense as a whole. There shouldn't be two Marvels."
As we all know, "X-Men" is a heavyweight IP under Marvel Comics. In the 1990s, Marvel Comics' business was not as prosperous as it is today. So in 1994, Marvel sold the copyright of the "X-Men" movie to 20th Century Fox. This is why the "X-Men" series of movies that are now famous all over the world.
In its nine-year screen history, popular characters including Dr. X, Magneto, Wolverine, and Storm have long become a classic among super-English movies and even science fiction movie characters.
Compared with the film copyrights of "Spider-Man" and "Fantastic Four" sold by Marvel, the long life cycle and high output of the "X-Men" series are a good story in the industry. Even after Marvel Comics established its own film company, DC Comics caught up with it, and after the establishment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Expansion Universe, the X-Men series can still form its own and produce stable output, which is always a treasure that Fox cannot give up.
Since Andy Smith took over the Marvel Group, she has been seeking the return of the superhero IP that is wandering outside. However, the negotiations with Fox have been at a deadlock. After that, Marvel seems to be consciously weakening the proportion of mutants in comics. Many people believe that because the adaptation rights cannot be retrieved, Marvel will force Fox to submit by suppressing the X-Men's position in the comics. During this period, rumors in the industry even circulated that "Marvel is prohibited from creating new mutant characters" were circulated, which caused panic.
At the same time, Marvel began to vigorously support the "Inhuman" series, and at one point there was a momentum to let Inhuman replace mutants.
But from a reality, although "Inhumans" have accumulated some popularity through several major events in the comics, they are still unable to compare with the recognition of the "mutant" characters in the eyes of most comic fans, and the sales of their related comics have always been unoptimistic.
Now, the return of the copyright of the X-Men movie adaptation means that the complementary business strategy of Marvel Comics and movies can be extended and expanded. This will naturally be a great help in enhancing the status of X-Men in comics.
"...and in the creation of subsequent movies, whether it is to maintain the original style on the basis of the series of movies, and to enrich the plot line with only individual characters, such as the encounter between Marvel's two big mouth Pao Deadpool and Spider, or to actively promote the great fusion of the film universe, a real sword and gun game "Avengers vs. X-Men" will bring considerable reward value to the series of IP..."
"Oh, oh... little baby, stop crying..."
One hand holds the child's pg, the other hand wants to hold the child's neck and head, and then lets the child lean on his arm and shakes it gently, coaxing Joseph, who just cries because of the niao bed. The TV behind him is playing news about the return of mutants to Marvel.
Ivana, who was carrying the new silk blanket in the cradle again, looked up at Andy and said, "Okay, put him down."
Andy looked at him wearing a white T-shirt and purple shorts. Although his blonde hair was tied up, it looked very loose. Although it seemed a bit unkempt, Andy's eyes were full of charm, a charm of a good wife and mother. It has to be said that during this period, Ivana really bet on Joseph for a lot of time and energy.
"Dear, thank you for your hard work, the matter is over, and I will accompany your mother and son well next." Returning to the family as a winner will be Andy's main task next.
"Pok~"
Ivana put little Joseph into the cradle, then looked at Andy with beautiful eyes full of admiration, raised her lips, kissed Andy's cheek with a happy face, and said softly: "The happiest thing is to stay together."
Andy smiled and reached out to Ivana. After kissing her, they looked at the little Joseph who was staring at them with big eyes and waving her hands and kicking her feet. Both of them couldn't help but smile with a happy smile on their faces.
After lunch, after coaxing Joseph to sleep, Andy, who was wearing only a pair of shorts, lay on the cage, leaned on the pillow, and looked at his ins with his mobile phone.
"Click"
The bathroom door opened, and Ivana, wearing a silver-gray V-neck suspender silk skirt, walked out after taking a shower. Andy's eyes fell on Ivana, who was rippling with her eyes, and she couldn't help but scatter her lower lips. It has to be said that Ivana, who had given birth, not only did not have a shape, but was getting better and better. The looming proudness was simply unmeasurable.
"Tsk tsk, my dear, are they moving towards e? It's simply amazing..."
"Hehe, don't you like it more if you are older?" Ivana wrapped her arms around Andy's head, her pretty face was full of brilliance, and she smiled and let her man take over her son's food. She was so worried that her son wouldn't have to eat, because she was gifted and absolutely sufficient. Her son couldn't finish it. Instead, it made her feel uncomfortable. She shared the burden with her husband who liked to make trouble, which made her much more relaxed.
"By the way, my dear, People Magazine is coming to take photos in the afternoon."
"Um……"
Ivana gently patted Andy, who was concentrating on snatching food, and said softly: "This time, "People" spent 10 million to take the copyright of the first photo of Joseph, but it comes with a joint interview between us. Also, how about God giving the charity foundation another preparation?"
"Well, it's done. The money earned by Joseph's photo shoot this time and the compensation from the New York Post, totaling 60 million US dollars, will become funds of the Joseph Charity Foundation, mainly used to fund the assistance of expectant mothers and newborn babies who live in poverty. You will serve as the chairman. During the interview, remember to tell People Magazine..."
After saying that, Andy was like savoring the rations of his purely natural and pollution-free son. Andy didn't feel sorry for donating the 50 million he knocked out from Murdoch. This time he made enough money to short News Corporation and couldn't lose any blood. After all, his eating habits cannot be too ugly. I have to say that his reputation in the financial industry is not very good now, and it can't even be described as not very good.
Sometimes, reputation is still very important. Andy doesn't want to really have a halo of "greed" on his head. So, in the next period of time, he will find ways to do good people and good deeds, contribute to charity, and do something very down-to-earth, which can make the general public sigh that he is a conscientious and social responsibility, not just a big thing to recognize money, to dilute some of his hostility, dirty water and infamousness.
The war with News Group started because of its own son, so naturally it would end in the name of the son. Nothing can be more universally recognized than setting up a charity fund in the name of its own son to help poor mothers and newborns.
Because of him, Andy Smith and Ivana, Joseph, little boy, was destined to live under the spotlight and the attention of the whole world. Since it cannot be changed, Andy could only take the initiative to pave the way for his son and make him the most famous baby that countless people in the world like and pay attention to.
