Chapter 2166 Marvel got it!
Martin Goodman didn't wait until the third day.
The next night, he called Yin Jun and agreed to Yin Jun's acquisition plan on behalf of all shareholders of the company.
The same is true for Yin Jun’s guess.
As long as his children know their offer, they will never miss it.
They must be afraid that Yin Jun would change his mind and would no longer pay such a high price.
After all, only fools can give it a valuation of such a high value of US$200 million.
The authors and editors of Marvel also think so.
Because what Yin Jun gave them was even more generous.
In fact, even if Yin Jun only spent 200 million US dollars to acquire their shares, they were already satisfied.
With another 10% return and a dividend of 5,000 in 10 years, do you think they feel that a pie fell from the sky?
With the combined effect of the three aspects, Martin Goodman couldn't hold on for one more day.
Corouti immediately led the team to sign a contract with them, and completed the transfer of funds early the next morning, and the transaction was officially successful.
Originally, the business of just $200 million is not required to be done by a big guy like Corauti.
But as long as it is Yin Jun’s business, Corouti will do it himself, which is why Yin Jun admires him very much.
This person is serious and sensible enough. If you don’t take care of his business, you will feel embarrassed.
So on the third day of the Oscars, on March 31, Marvel officially belonged to Yin Jun in a legal sense.
All that remains is some small procedures.
With the contract signed last night, Yin Jun felt at ease.
Starting today, almost 80% of American hero movies belong to you!
Although several comic companies have hundreds of heroes of all sizes, the main and most popular heroes are already in their hands.
This is a great thing.
This was not the case in previous lives.
After Marvel in his previous life was bought by Ren Peden this year, because he had to repay various debts, Ren Peden insisted on selling the copyrights of some heroes to other companies one after another despite Stan and Li’s opposition.
This is also an important reason that directly led to the collective departure of Stan and Lee.
The first one to sell was the copyright of "Fantastic Four", which were bought by Constantine.
Later, the first episode of "Fantastic Four" filmed by Constantine was quite good and made a lot of money.
As a result, I just lost in the second episode, and I have no idea why.
Oh, by the way, the young man who played the Fire Man was the famous Captain America later.
It is really unimaginable that after he is played by a hero, he can still play another more famous hero.
Then in 1994, when Marvel was about to go bankrupt, 20th Century Fox took advantage of the situation and bought the copyrights of "X-Men" and "Wolverine".
The contract stipulates that if they do not start filming within 7 years, the copyright of the heroes of this series will be returned to Marvel.
Of course you know that 20th Century Fox made more than ten movies in a row with the "X-Men" series and the "Wolverine" series, and he really made a fortune.
A few million US dollars have earned a box office of more than 10 billion US dollars. 20th Century Fox has made too much money!
At the same time, Constantine's "Fantastic Four" was not returned to Marvel in the end, but was resold to 20th Century Fox by them.
In addition to these heroes, 20th Century Fox also bought a hero that was not very eye-catching at the time, but was extremely stunning after filming - "Deadpool"!
Both "Deadpool" movies are R-level, but the box office has rapidly exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars, setting a box office record for a movie of this level, which makes everyone a little stunned.
And the top three popular Spider in the United States, Spider-Man, has not escaped the Marvel Prodigy.
In 1999, under the leadership of Amy Pascal, Sony spent 7 million yuan to buy the copyright of "Spider-Man", and also had an agreement to return the copyright if it did not make a movie for five years.
But everyone can see the subsequent development clearly that Spider-Little Spider-Little has become a life-saving straw for Sony Pictures. In more than ten years, he changed to three Spider-Man and made a total of 8 "Spider-Man" movies, with a total box office of over 8 billion US dollars!
These two businesses really made Marvel lose money to hit the wall.
If they could get it themselves, the box office of such a close to US$20 billion would be theirs.
Not to mention the various league movies, such as the "Avengers" series, you can see the figures of heroes such as Spider and Wolverine, and the box office is much higher.
Even afterwards, in "Avengers 2", Sony allowed Spider-Man to return to the Avengers camp, and it would not be as easy and convenient as it was to use it yourself, right?
Well, Sony is not a good person either.
In addition to buying Spider, they also bought the copyright of another hero, Venom.
This "Venom" was released in 2018 and had a global box office of 855 million US dollars, which was a huge hit!
Therefore, later Marvel fans made sense to curse Lian Tian of the previous management, especially Ren Peden.
But let's look at it from another perspective.
In Marvel's most critical years, it was these heroes who kept selling to get through the difficulties. Otherwise, when the bankruptcy liquidation is over, these heroes will definitely be divided up by many companies.
At that time, the dispersion was even more serious, and you would not see the heroes in "Avengers" appearing in the future.
So there is no way to do this, and finally most of the heroes were saved.
Besides, these heroes sold to other companies are not of no benefit to movie fans.
If all of them were Marvel Studios to develop these heroes, what should they spend their energy on?
Because there are so many heroes to be filmed and released, they will stop making many hero movies for a long time. It is good that you can see one of "Spider-Man" in five years.
The same is true for "X-Men", "Venom", "Deadpool", etc.
It wouldn't be like three companies at the same time, and several hero movies were launched every now and then, making us movie fans feel more refreshed.
Even a third-rate hero combination like Guardians of the Galaxy, we may not see their production plan until 2020. When will we see such a cute little Groot?
All right.
These are all things in the previous life, and the situation where these heroes are outflowing in this life will not happen at all.
Moreover, with the strong financial support of the North American branch of Kirin Group, there is no problem at all when filming and launching three to five hero movies a year on average.
Those Hollywood companies, even giants, have very tight capital chains.
They took great risks to spend $200 million to shoot a movie.
Even if one of them is not filmed smoothly and the release results are not good, it will greatly affect their plans.
For example, the "Superman" series in the previous life, and the "Batman" series.
Entering the era of special effects heroes after 2010, the two top two heroes are not as good as Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America, etc., which is really embarrassing.
It is because their box office was not satisfactory that after 2015, Time Warner was very careful about the movies of these two heroes, and basically did not restart their series in three years.
It's just that there is a movie called Batman vs. Superman.
But what is popular in this movie is not these two superheroes ranked first and second in the United States, but Wonder Woman who has only played for less than 20 minutes!
So Time Warner decisively gave up Superman and Batman for the time being and started filming "Wonder Woman".
The result is a global box office of 822 million US dollars, which fully proves that Time Warner's decision is very correct.
In fact, if Time Warner had money, they would start another three-person movie, or use Superman and Batman to bring out another popular hero.
But superhero movies that cost $100 million or 200 million are not that easy to make and have huge risks. They have to consider this.
But for Yin Jun, there is no scruples at all.
The boy can know clearly which movie can make money and which movie will lose money.
Even in Yin Jun, there is a better way to save investment.
In fact, he has already done it.
That is to sign a long contract with actors who can play hero roles in advance.
For example, Robert Downey Jr.'s 20 movies in 30 years were prepared for his "Iron Man" series and "Avengers" series.
Otherwise, his salary in these movies alone could reach 50 million, 80 million, or even 100 million US dollars.
Otherwise, why can't Iron Man 4 come out for so long?
It was because Robert Downey Jr., the Lion asked for a $100 million salary and dividend.
You said that no matter how rich Marvel and Disney father are, they would not dare to agree like this, right?
Your star's pay accounts for one-third or even half of the cost of film production, which is extremely dangerous.
The more money you invest in your pay, the production cost of the movie itself will decrease, and the attractiveness of the movie will decrease and the box office will not be better guaranteed.
Of course, there is another way, which is to continuously improve the film production budget.
This is what "Avengers 3" does. With post-production and actor pay, its production cost is as high as 350 million US dollars! It is not that the Baidu is only 250 million US dollars!
This is not counting its global promotion and promotion expenses of more than US$100 million.
Such a high investment resulted in a total box office of US$2.1 billion worldwide. Marvel was a risky success and made a big profit in the box office, not to mention the benefits of peripheral products such as DVD and TV copyrights.
But this is why Marvel saw the huge appeal of these heroes and the huge influence of this IP, so she dared to invest heavily.
If I change to any other movie, I wouldn't dare to pay a production cost of 450 million US dollars, because it's really crazy.
Once it fails, Disney dad may be overwhelmed!
Yin Jun is not so accustomed to these stars.
He would learn from Marvel to treat Captain America, Black, Widow, and a movie would be paid up to 500,000 or 1 million US dollars.
Then wait until the profit is made, and then take out a certain proportion of the profit to distribute dividends to everyone.
This is the best way to make a movie.
