Chapter 261 [Fantasy of the mainland entertainment industry]

After the press conference, an interview was held, with four people attending Luo Sheng, Avi Arad, Robert Downey Jr. and Kevin Feich.

"I think the most curious thing outside the world is why did you think of integrating Marvel Comics into the Blue Star Technology family bucket?" At the interview, the host looked at Luo Sheng and asked.

At this moment, the guests were sitting on a semicircular lazy sofa chair. This temporary interview looked very simple, but the person sitting was not simple.

"How do you say this question..." Luo Sheng raised his legs and felt relaxed. Under the attention of a group of media people and the three-dimensional guests attending the meeting, he looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, then looked at the host and replied:

"It should be the result of all kinds of coincidences. We are expanding the content ecosystem of Blue Star Technology's streaming video business. You know, I spent more than $5 billion a while ago to win a 15-year lease contract for digital screening rights for more than 10,000 movies, but I don't think it's rich enough. The homemade process seems to have not yet, and Marvel has just entered my vision."

"In fact, the money for the digital movie rental contract signed with major Hollywood film companies, including the funds needed for the acquisition of Marvel Comics, was originally wanted to acquire Sun Computer Sun. Unfortunately, we failed to succeed. We were worried about the 700 to 80 billion US dollars and didn't know what to do. Anyway, I was idle. It would be better to expand the content ecosystem of the streaming video business."

"Uh... is that true?" The host was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed in embarrassment without losing his elegance to hide it.

The others at the scene were speechless when they heard this and rolled their eyes wildly. People in the industry were confused for a while and were so numb that they were so excited by Xiu's scalp.

This is so annoying.

The expansion is endless, the most irritating thing is that it seems impossible to refute.

Now the economic collapse is in a situation of capital winter, and everyone’s life is almost out of reach. You are better. If you say such words, is this what people should say?

He is worthy of being a big shot, and he is so calm about billions of dollars.

It feels like...well, I don't know how to spend billions in my hand, so I bought Marvel.

It seems to be like this for a while.

After hearing Luo Sheng's explanation, Marvel people felt that no matter whether this is true or not, they believed it was true. I would really thank Oracle and Google for jumping out to block Bluestar Technology's acquisition of Sun Company. Otherwise, there might be nothing Marvel has to do.

"Transfer to you a piece of news. Yesterday, Kevin showed me "Iron Man" alone. I have a hunch that this movie will be a big hit." Luo Sheng said with a smile: "I really want to spoil more with you, but Kevin is sitting next to me. My bodyguard is too far away from me."

The topic quickly turned to the topic of Marvel, after all, today's theme is Marvel and its pioneering work "Iron Man".

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. Kevin learned from the translator hearing aid and laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

However, everyone believes that even if Luo Sheng spoiled something, Kevin Feige would not do anything unless he doesn't want to serve as the president of Marvel Studios.

"We are all looking forward to the movie universe plan created by Marvel Studios, but what I want to ask is, after completing the acquisition, what is the biggest problem Marvel will face next?" The host's natural topic focused on Marvel itself.

Avi Arad picked up the microphone and replied: "The biggest problem we are facing at present is probably how to deal with the second-tier 'superheroes' under Marvel. The most traditional way is to promote and sell authorized dolls on a larger scale or dig deeper into the potential commercial value of comics, and the comic adaptation of movies will be a key point."

"I'll add one more." After Avi Arad finished speaking, Luo Sheng picked up the microphone beside him and added: "Although several of the top characters in Marvel Comics have been poached by Sony and Fox earlier, we don't feel sorry for this. Successfully cultivating and operating them can fully explore some new potential stars. Marvel Comics is not just Iron Man or Hulk. Marvel has more than 5,000 comic missions of various types, and you may not have heard of them. A large number of comic characters are like a mountain of gold in my eyes."

Hearing this, Marvel's head Arad complained in his heart: "That was not what you said during the negotiations before..."

Luo Sheng didn't know what Arad, who was sitting next to him, muttered in his heart, and continued to say in an orderly manner: "The income from exploring 'new stars' from these characters to invest in the market is much more than the copyright income from borrowed comic characters such as Spider-Man. We are full of confidence in exploring more comic superstars and expanding the application of comic resources in the film industry, stores and theme parks."

After Luo Sheng said that, he put the microphone aside. His words were not only speaking to the market as the parent company of Marvel Comics and Marvel Studios, but more to Kevin Feige and Avi Arad sitting next to him. The parent company attaches great importance to the cultivation and construction of the Marvel brand.

The implication is that you guys do it well for me, and the parent company will endorse you. Let’s not talk about anything else. At least you don’t have to worry about not being able to make a fuss about living a hard life by selling comic characters every day.

"There is another question that many people may also be interested." The host spoke again: "Marvel Cinema Universe Project, will the future movies use Chinese star actors, or even superheroes starring Chinese star?"

This question illuminated the domestic entertainment media reporters, and it was a very topical question.

They immediately looked at Luo Sheng, but Kevin Feige picked up the microphone and responded affirmatively. What he said translated was: "Everything is possible."

The interview lasted for more than twenty minutes, and after that, the premiere will be held.

The news here spreads quickly as if it had grown wings, and the domestic entertainment industry quickly caused a sensation because of whether the host's name would enable Chinese stars during the interview.

This news made some domestic celebrity actors who dreamed of breaking into Hollywood very excited.

Entering Hollywood is the dream of many top stars in the mainland.

The pioneering work of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "Iron Man", costs up to $140 million. Participating in such a big production is something that many mainland stars dream of.

It can be said that so far, only Bluestar Technology Group has achieved the ability to make a splash in Hollywood nationwide, and other domestic film companies do not have this ability.

No one expected that an IT giant would set off such a huge wave in the movie entertainment industry, making the entire movie entertainment industry uneasy.

There was also a lot of discussion online, and it was immediately poached by omnipotent netizens. There were thousands of comic characters under Marvel Comics, and there were really many Asian superheroes.

For a time, various discussions appeared on the Internet, and gossip media also exaggerated them.

The netizens who are obsessed with melons have already started to worry and are the first to cast a wave of casting for Marvel Studios' subsequent movies. Topics such as the star playing an Asian superhero have been hotly discussed during this period.

Of course, such melons are inevitable to fight and fight.

These popularity has also affected the upcoming "Iron Man", but Iron Man actually does not have much market in China at present. The box office of "Iron Man" in the last life was only over 100 million yuan, but it was also a high box office in this era.

But there are still people in the industry who criticize this movie, and then criticize the Blue Star Technology Group and the Marvel Cinema Universe Project. I heard that "Iron Man" has a sequel, but according to international practice, the more you shoot the sequel, the less attractive it becomes.

For the movie "Iron Man", it is far from time to talk about the sequel. The premise for a sequel is the success of the first work, but whether it is successful or not is still unknown.

This is the first step in the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is no exaggeration to say that its success or failure will affect the progress of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If you lose money, Marvel will have another chance to "buy a living", because its parent company Bluestar Technology Group provides an additional $120 million in financial support, which can make another comic hero adaptation movie for Marvel.

If you still lose money, sorry, Luo Sheng will put the Marvel Cinema Universe plan on a long time, and will not spend extra money in a short period of time, and hand over the funds to other homemade teams.

The previous life of "Iron Man" was successful, and Marvel was also reborn, but now Luo Sheng dared not guarantee that Marvel would also replicate the glory of the previous life. After all, this world has changed too much.

With the end of the premiere and the following publicity offensive, Bluestar Technology gave a three-day first-level traffic entrance, and it was a global commercial launch, which could be said to be bombarded.

Anyway, there are basically advertisements related to the premiere of "Iron Man" on the Internet, which is a promotional distribution that Marvel dared not think of before. If you want to pay the advertising fee, based on the current advertising price, the publicity intensity will be at least about 70 million US dollars, but all of this is the resource tilt given by the parent company for free.

This is the benefit of relying on large groups.

Time passes day by day, and the day of "Iron Man" is finally here as scheduled.
