The first thousand one hundred and sixty-eight chapters
Old Murdoch didn't say anything, eating his dessert that didn't contain much sugar. At home, he looked very loose on his face, but when he looked up, his eyes were still shining.
"Following his arrangements, he obviously wants to make a difference in the movies. Do you think we can make some promises to him in terms of the copyright of Fantastic Four to enhance our bargaining chips?" Mrs. Murdoch suggested.
The copyright of the Fantastic Four is now finally in the hands of Fox. Of course, Marvel can still get some profits from the box office.
"No," Old Murdoch shook his head and said slowly, "I don't think he has such great confidence yet. When he did those jobs, the Skype competition had not yet begun. I believe that he did that, just doing it casually."
"Looking at it from another perspective, it will be easier for us to see that he did so much for this movie, but he is just a super rich man who is just showing his gratitude to a young and beautiful Hollywood female star,"
"You can understand how attractive a female star like Jessica Alba is to a young man like him,"
Mrs. Murdoch nodded, "It seems that's true,"
Speaking of which, although several female elites from China, including her, have successfully become wives of some European and American celebrities and rich people, their former male compatriots have made no achievements in this regard in pursuing female stars in Hollywood. Perhaps Feng Yiping wants to prove himself in all aspects?
"I also think he can't see so far,"
Objectively speaking, the biggest beneficiary of the publicity he helped Alba carry out was indeed Alba personally.
"Then, how do you think he will adjust Marvel?"
Murdoch wiped his mouth with a napkin, "The film industry is a very mature industry, with its own operating rules. I believe that with his financial support, Marvel may make some top-notch movies alone," he said.
"But if you want to make any revolutionary changes to the industry like those newspapers in Silicon Valley, it is a fantasy,"
Old Murdoch, who entered the film industry from the original journalism industry, has a very deep understanding of this.
In the field of film, it is too difficult to make some groundbreaking changes.
"So I'm not interested in what he's going to say at Marvel's first meeting tonight,"
This is a bit contradictory.
If he really said something about Feng Yiping at Marvel's first meeting tonight, he shouldn't know that Feng Yiping held a meeting tonight for the first time.
But it is obvious that like many others, he paid close attention to Feng Yiping's itinerary after he arrived in Hollywood.
"There are only two possibilities: one is to make adjustments including structural and personnel, and the other is to follow his convention, he will propose some new projects that will help Marvel develop,"
"This time it's simple. Just add Netflix and YouTube, and Marvel's development will be accelerated immediately."
"A company that has revenue this year will not look like it will not exceed $100 million," Old Murdoch shook his head. Like many people, he really doesn't care much about Marvel, who can only be considered a survival at this time.
Otherwise, this time, Feng Yiping would not have been able to privatize Marvel so smoothly.
He stood up, walked to Mrs. Murdoch, and kissed her on the cheek, "What I care more about is our attention to Myspace. He should have known it, but he was very unresponsive to it. This is a question worth pondering, what do you think?"
Although Myspace is better than the original time and space because of NEXTDOOR, whether in terms of product or influence, it is still much worse than in the United States and is still much worse than Facebook, which is now booming in the world, but no matter what, Myspace is always in the social field, and Feng Yiping faces a decent opponent in the United States.
If the strong News Group acquires Myspace, it is conceivable that Myspace's development will accelerate and will definitely compete with Feng Yiping for the American social market, but he seems to have no response to the news, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
"Maybe he's too busy recently and hasn't noticed the relevant information," Mrs. Murdoch also wiped her mouth and caught up with her husband who was walking out.
"Impossible," Murdoch shook his head, "they will definitely track the follow-up of various companies interested in Skype,"
So, why did he not respond to the fact that I wanted to acquire Myspace?
Such an abnormal situation made Old Murdoch, who had a very smooth contact with Myspace, hesitated a little.
…………
In the Marvel conference room, the meeting continued. In everyone's expectation and nervous eyes, Feng Yiping said his first adjustment, "From today, the Marvel Film Department will become an independent department, and will open with other Marvel's career parts..."
"Baoba," said Arad, the head of Marvel's film department, who was the old comrade in Palmatt, stood up and applauded excitedly.
Under his leadership, many executives also applauded.
Establishing an independent film department is something that many Marvel people have always wanted to do. Feng Yiping announced such news at the first meeting he took office. No wonder everyone was so excited.
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Feng Yiping also filmed a few times, "Whether Marvel continues to be a cow or become a Hulk who is helpless even with superheroes depends on our independent film department and the development of Marvel Studios,"
"You must be relieved to this point, Feng," Arad interrupted Feng Yiping's speech loudly.
Feng Yiping nodded, "The independent Marvel Studios will continue to stay in Hollywood. Of course, I suggest that the current headquarters be renovated and expanded to accommodate more and more employees," he said.
“My ultimate goal is to build our Marvel Studios headquarters into a holy place for Marvel fans around the world,” he said.
The applause rang again.
With the very frugal Palmatt, such a thing is hard to imagine. It is better to only meet basic needs in the office space, so why do you need to spend so much extra money?
But what they care most about is Feng Yiping's positioning of Marvel Studios.
Although it was split from other Marvel businesses, what is its status? Should it continue to be responsible to Palmatt or directly to Feng Yiping?
This is the most concerned issue for executives led by Arad.
“Other Marvel’s business divisions, including our fundamentals, the comics division, continue to grow in New York,” he said.
But Feng Yiping next talked about the arrangements for other Marvel business departments. Hearing this, Arad was obviously a little disappointed. Even Palmatt looked at Feng Yiping deeply.
"Marvel's toy department will also be the same as before, but in the future we will build a larger production base in Asia, specifically, in China,"
His decision made everyone feel a little nervous again.
The meaning of this statement is obviously that the Marvel Toys department will slowly strip away the production capacity of its mainland in the United States. It can be imagined that this is a topic that will affect the work of many people.
"Marvel's gaming department will move from New York to Silicon Valley in the near future," Feng Yiping said his next decision.
Of course, this is not bad, and this arrangement is reasonable.
It is a very reasonable arrangement to move the game department to Silicon Valley, which brings together world-class engineers.
However, many people glanced at Palmatt at this time, which was equivalent to taking the game department away from Palmatt. No wonder his face looked a little gloomy at the beginning.
"Mr. Palmatt is still in charge of all other departments in New York, including comics and toys," Feng Yiping finally said something more interested in.
Arad and the others became nervous.
However, there seems to be nothing to be nervous about. At present, the situation seems to be more optimistic.
"Relocated to some departments in Silicon Valley will eventually achieve the same status as Marvel Studios, and integrate other existing game development teams in NEXTDOOR to become our main business in gaming,"
"I am also very optimistic about the future development of the gaming industry, and hope that the gaming department will become another cornerstone of our future development,"
In China, Feng Yiping has no idea of getting involved in the game field, but in the United States, he has no concerns in this regard.
By the way, relying on Marvel's backs, if you don't develop some games well, it will be a huge waste of resources, right?
This is also the reason why he first privatized the listed company he acquired. In addition to the fact that Marvel's undesirable revenue has made many original shareholders unconfidence in it, making this job easier and making it easier for him to adjust, which is also the main reason.
If Marvel was still a listed company, such a spin-off would be extremely difficult.
Arad was even more relieved to hear this. Obviously, the game department would not continue to be responsible for Palmatt.
That must be true of Marvel Studios, which is very good!
"The independent Marvel Studios will report directly to our President Cummins who is responsible for American affairs,"
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause, and the excitement on Arad's face could be seen by a person.
"Next, I announce a personnel appointment,"
I originally wanted to ask Feng Yiping's Arad, but he also shut up at this time. This is a personnel appointment! This should be about the person in charge of Marvel Studios, that is, his personnel appointment. In this way, will he and Parmatt be on par?
He and the others looked at Feng Yiping expectantly. Feng Yiping also looked at him, and Aladd was immediately excited.
“For personal development, Mr. Avi Arad, the former head of Marvel Studios, will leave us and start his own career,” he said.
What? Many people are like Alla at this time, with their mouths growing up and looking at Feng Yiping in amazement.
Arad stared at Feng Yiping fiercely, and then slowly turned his gaze to his old comrades and old friends, "Why?"
