Chapter 530 Going further and further on the road of the bastard

"From this moment, we Marvel will no longer sell any characters that die even if they appear once, let alone those famous superheroes!"

Andy's loud voice continued to echo in the quiet conference room.

"I know, "Blade" by New Line Film in 1998, "X-Men" launched by Fox in 2000, and "Spider-Man" released in 2002, Sony achieved greater success. The Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Ghost Rider were even more modified. I also know that Marvel Studios already had the idea to make their own movies, and the idea was correct, and I agree with this very much.

Before talking about my layout plan, I would like to thank someone here, David Messel, the executive vice chairman of our group. Thank you, thank you for keeping our Captain America and Thor. With Ike's strong recommendation, you will be the CEO of the future Marvel Studios..." Andy said, turning his eyes to David Messel, who had already stood up and had a serious and calm expression. Before he finished speaking, Andy took the lead in applauding.

The audience burst into warm applause, Andy pressed down with both hands, smiled and nodded to signal David to sit down, then looked around for a week and said, "Maybe you are still curious. What was Stan excited just now. You are all our Marvel management staff. You should all have obtained an agreement. This agreement is a confidentiality agreement. If there is no problem, you can sign it."

After Andy finished speaking, he looked around for a week. Everyone in the conference room did not hesitate, but quickly signed his name. Will he be fired if he didn't sign it?

"Okay, everyone, pull the curtains, turn off the lights, and turn on the projector." Andy said with a faint smile after seeing two lawyers from his think tank put away the agreement.

Andy was holding the remote control in his hand and stood in front of the projector's curtain. The light shone on him, making him look taller.

"Before I acquired Marvel, I was considering a question. If my acquisition succeeds, how should I make Marvel rise? After all, superhero movies have been tried too many times, both good and bad. The most important thing is the changes in the process of comic adaptation and film transformation. The fan base is our advantage, but most of them are comic fans, and comics...

Well, the public has too deep impression of the Marvel main universe and the ultimate universe. On this basis, no matter how the movie script is written and modified, it cannot be recognized by everyone!

So, I thought of a new plan, please see it for everyone..." Andy pressed the remote control in his hand, and the sketch of the first chapter appeared, which was the new logo of Marvel Studios.

"The Marvel Cinematic Universe, numbered earth-199999, is a common overhead world centered on superhero movies, based on the characters independently produced in Marvel Comics publications. Like the Marvel Main Universe in comics, it is built by common elements, settings, performances and characters through cross-border works.

With the Avengers as the main skeleton and a single superhero movie as the branches, superheroes such as Iron Man, Hulk Hulk, Thor Thor, Captain America, etc. are brought to the big screen in turn..."

Before Andy's commentary was over, someone in the conference room started to applaud excitedly. David Messel, who had always been calm and serious, was so excited that he could not help but be excited. He knew that he was not being exiled, but really wanted to do something big.

"My Avengers plan is divided into three stages, the first stage is 6 movies. First, the stories of each character are filmed, and then the hero team Avengers. In this way, the settings of each film are unified, and the foreshadowing of interconnectedness is laid in each film to form a unified worldview..."

Andy smiled and reached out to press down. When the conference room calmed down, he continued to explain. In the conference room, representatives from Marvel and Bank of America listened very seriously.

“…Avengers 3: Infinity War May 2018, Ant-Man and the Wasp July 2018, Captain Marvel March 2019, Unnamed Avengers May 2019; this is the final third phase.”

Andy clearly saw the faces of everyone in the conference room from surprise to excitement, and then to sudden realization, and finally became stunned and shocked.

The applause was thunderous, and the whole group stood up and applauded enthusiastically. The frivolity of the Americans was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, with exciting whistles and admiration in a constant stream, and the scene was very lively.

Stan Lee and Ike looked at each other and saw excitement from each other's eyes. Everyone looked at the young and indifferent tall figure standing under the light with almost admiration. Since then, Andy has completed the smooth reception of Marvel Entertainment Group and arrived in Marvel in a nearly savior manner.

After the excitement calmed down a little, and sat in the seat, Andy continued with a chuckling, "Then, our Marvel Cinematic Universe will officially start today. Our first superhero Iron Man Tony Stark to be on the big screen..."

In the Marvel Entertainment Group's eO office, Andy sat on the large sofa in the lounge area, looking at the five people in front of him with a smile.

His chief think tank Alvetre, Bank of America representative Lewis, Marvel's Ike, David and Stan Lee.

"Lewis, thank you for your bank's help." Andy first thanked the only outsider here. Well, he can't be considered an outsider. Bank of America has taken over all Marvel's debts and became Marvel's only creditor.

"You're welcome, Andy, you know, our proposal always works, as long as you want." Lewis said with a smile on his face.

"no, no, Lewis, since I took over Marvel, Marvel's value has increased to the point. I will not release even a little shares. Don't mention this again. If you didn't see the first phase of the planning book, I think your bank will not target Marvel's shares. Our cooperation will continue. Let me say to your eO. Thank you very much." Andy stood up and shook hands with Lewis and said sincerely.

"Okay, this is a win-win situation, so I won't bother you anymore. If you have any needs, please wait anytime." Lewis knew that it was time to leave, and he also needed to go back to report. To be honest, he really wanted to get some Marvel shares. Damn, those idiots on the board of directors still looked down on.

After seeing Lewis off, there was only his own person in the office. Andy looked at David Messel, who was calm and expressionless.

"David, the matter of Marvel Studios is left to you. After you and Stan return, you immediately set up a six-person committee to write the script of Iron Man, set up the crew and screen the actors. If you have any questions, please contact Ike directly. After the script is completed, I will review it myself. You can take away the sketches of the Iron Clothes."

"I understand, boss." David Messel nodded and responded simply, and stopped talking.

"Ike, starting negotiations with Paramount, ending their issuance cooperation, and lowering the compensation amount is the key. I will ask my think tank to send a few people to help you. At the same time, continue to negotiate with Sony and Fox, and even if the copyright cannot be recovered, we must expand our share of interests."

Andy naturally knew how profitable the release of Marvel movies would be in the future. Even if his peak was not as good as Paramount in local distribution, wasn’t it just spending money to spend advertising? He still had this confidence. As for the number of screens in theaters, everyone’s starting point was the same.

Of course, giants like Fox, Universal, and Disney have theater shares, but no matter what, who will be unable to get along with the money?

"Sony and Fox will not compromise anymore. We have already increased some share of the shares through negotiations in 2005..."

Andy frowned slightly, and directly waved his hand to interrupt Ike's continued introduction, saying, "Then sue them, sue them, and drag their projects to death. I know the agreement with Fox is a bit difficult. Stan, you will focus on comic publishing for some time in the future and start to end the X-Men series!"

"hiss"

Except for Al, the other three people were tempted, ruthless and courageous. The decades of series have added weight to the negotiation of interests and directly ended the entire series. Damn, comic publishing is also profitable.

"Okay, maybe it's a bit urgent, but you must not continue to expand the mutant lineup! This way..." Andy knew it was a bit too urgent, but he must not let Fox, who was so awesome all day, lead his nose.

"Don't we still have an Inhuman? Transplant the mutant's follow-up to the Inhuman story, with S.H.E.L.D. as the main line, and expand the story to curb the X-Men in Fox's hands."

The three of them stared at each other again, Damn, what kind of brain is this? I have come up with a countermeasure so easily? Well, it turns out that it is a genius.

Of course, Andy's acting skills are still very good now. He just pretended to be thinking hard, but he just took out Marvel's tricks against Fox in the later stage in the future.

"Well, this idea is good, but the mutants' lineup is too large, and Fox has a lot of room to operate, so you can expand the characters at will." Stan Lee has been working on comics for his whole life, and he knows the value of mutants best.

"Ike, this is your job. If you stuck Fox's neck and questioned the agreement, you should use the reason of excessive adaptation of the characters and affecting the native characters. Even if you can't get the copyright back, you should restrict them. "Andy just wants to use the lawsuit to pester them to death. Damn, don't let me take advantage, don't stop! Otherwise, why should you spend money to support so many lawyers?

The other four people, including Al, looked at each other in front of each other, and black lines appeared on their foreheads. This was completely unreasonable and was about to play the rogue rhythm.

Al pondered for a while before stretching his eyebrows and said, "Boss, your method may be really feasible. There seems to be such a thing in the US copyright law..."

"Haha, of course, I asked, Article 107, exclusive rights are restricted by the principle of reasonable use! It's just that the copyright owner is mostly restricted. We are now questioning the copyright owner as the original creator and thinking in reverse. You should know that the stronger the commercial xing factor of using a certain copyright work, the less likely it is to be considered reasonable use." Andy took away the smile expression you know, raised his eyebrows, which made Eck and the others suddenly feel energetic.

Damn, you can really play like this! There is undoubtedly a legitimate reason for this, and the court will definitely accept it. Once you enter the judicial process, you can completely mess with Fox and Sony and let them start the movie project without a release!
Chapter completed!
