    Sitting in the chairman's seat in the Marvel Comics conference room, Wan Xiaohu felt infinitely proud.  After a show of hands vote by the board of directors, Wan Xiaohu, who holds 13.7% of the shares and 31.6% of the shares of Tiger Ruiya, with a total share of 45.3%, became the new chairman of Marvel Comics.  The first task Wan Xiaohu presided over after taking office was to determine the Chinese name for Marvel Comics.  Originally, the English name of Marvel Comics was marvel, which means surprise and miracle, so it was called Marvel Comics. However, this translation has no direct connection with the English pronunciation. Therefore, after some discussion, the Chinese name was finally decided.  "Marvel Comics".  "Ladies and gentlemen, although I was elected as the chairman of Marvel Comics, I do not intend to interfere in the management of Marvel Comics as chairman. Our president Kevin Feige will lead us,  Complete the rise of Marvel Comics. Now, let¡¯s ask President Kevin to give us a forward-looking report." Wan Xiaohu finished speaking in a graceful manner, and then took the lead in applauding.  Kevin Feige pushed up his glasses and was also very proud, because he was not just a manager. With Wan Xiaohu's help, he got a seat on the board of directors and became one of the company's bosses.  "Everyone here is familiar with it, so I won't say any more nonsense. The business of comic shops is very bleak now. There are almost no new readers coming into comic shops to buy our comic books. Old readers are also getting older.  I don¡¯t like reading comics anymore. We can¡¯t say that comics have come to an end, but comics are no longer enough to support the operation of Marvel Comics.¡± After a pause, Kevin continued: ¡°So, the focus of work has become.  It's inevitable. We have countless superheroes, and each superhero has a wonderful story. Although due to the company's crisis, we sold the copyrights of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade Runner, etc.  "We still have enough heroes to develop our own superhero movies in Marvel Comics." "I have made long-term visions with the chairman, and he very much agrees with our 'Marvel Cinematic Universe' plan."  He is a great and visionary director. All of his films are blockbuster hits, and his company Sasha Entertainment must be familiar to everyone. It was the most successful independent film company in 2006, and his company Golden Harvest Entertainment is the most outstanding entertainment company in China and even Asia.  "Relying on the distribution channels of Sasha Entertainment and Golden Harvest Entertainment, our Marvel Comics superhero movie has been half successful. The other half is the story, which I had already proposed the year before.  It was just a shot. But now it is different. This is a brand-new plan that has been created by the chairman himself. " "We have planned the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, and the first phase will be in.  From 2008 to 2012, six movies were produced: "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk", "Iron Man 2", "Thor", "Captain America", and "The Avengers". The second issue looks at the box office of the first issue.  , scheduled to produce five movies from 2013 to 2015, including "Iron Man 3", "Thor 2", "Captain America 2", "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Avengers 2".  "Ant-Man", "Thor 3", "Doctor Strange", "Captain America 3" and "Black Widow", etc. At the same time, along with the live-action movies, we will also produce TV series and new comic series" "  Excuse me, President Kevin, I want to know, will the chairman personally direct the movie?" A shareholder raised his hand and asked.  Wan Xiaohu smiled slightly: "I currently have no plans to direct these movies myself, but I will serve as the producer of the movie together with Kevin. I will personally serve as the screenwriter for "The Incredible Hulk" and "Iron Man" and complete these two pilot projects."  "Chairman, is it really possible to make such a huge plan? I think it is better to do it one movie at a time." "Of course we are doing it one by one, but the overall story structure is  It must be huge. What I have to do is to create a single movie one by one and complete the story background. If you are worried, it is very simple. I have always been very confident and you are always welcome to sell your shares to me.  ""The change of ownership of Marvel Comics was all done in private. No one paid attention to the fact that this comic company had quietly changed its leadership.  Perhaps even if they knew it, no one would care. After all, with the decline of the comics industry, Marvel Comics is only a company with a market value of US$1 billion. This market value is still due to the valuation of superhero copyrights accumulated over the years.  ¡°Marvel Comics itself doesn¡¯t have much money. In the past few years, it was so poor that it was almost impossible to open the pot.  After Wan Xiaohu came to power, in addition to supporting the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan, the second thing he did was to find Tom Rodman, the co-chairman of 20th Century Fox Film Company, to discuss repurchasing the superhero rights of the X-Men series.  &nbsP;  Later, due to racial discrimination, the mutants split into two groups.  One faction is headed by "Professor  After 20th Century Fox obtained the copyright to the  Director, because Brian is gay and is therefore very obsessed with the subject of racial discrimination.  Perhaps because of their own experience, the first two films tended to be dark and realistic in style, and were unanimously praised by film critics. In addition, the box office was also pretty good, with "X-Men" 296 million worldwide and "X-Men 2" 407 million worldwide.  So we decided to start filming a sequel.  It¡¯s just a pity that two sequels were originally planned to be shot, but Bryan Singer suddenly declined to direct the sequels and went to Warner Bros. to direct "Superman Returns."  So 20th Century Fox temporarily changed the director and replaced it with Brett Reiner, and the plan to shoot two episodes became one.  "X-Men 3" was released in 2006 and earned $459 million.  At this point, the team story of the X-Men has come to an end. If the sequel is started, it will only be a solo chapter, which is the most popular character among the X-Men, "Wolverine".  Speaking of which, these three movies have good box office and reputation, but compared with production costs and publicity costs, they don¡¯t make much money.  Especially for the third "X-Men 3", the production cost alone reached 220 million U.S. dollars. With publicity costs included, the total investment reached 300 million U.S. dollars.  It was originally planned to be on par with "Spider-Man" and prepare for a global explosion, but it turned out that team heroes are still inferior to individual heroes. "Spider-Man" has a global US$820 million, and "Spider-Man 2" has a global US$780 million, both of which have surpassed "x".  Men" a few streets.  Much to the dismay of 20th Century Fox.  ??Can¡¯t see the future clearly, so there has been no move to make a solo movie for Wolverine.  The x-men series is temporarily on hold.  After knowing the purpose of Wan Xiaohu¡¯s visit, Tom Rodman warmly entertained Wan Xiaohu and Kevin Fitch.  "I'm very surprised. I just found out now that Marvel Comics has been acquired by the most anticipated director in Hollywood, Director Wan Xiaohu. Congratulations on acquiring countless superheroes." Rodman is a witty and funny Chinese character.  young people.  "Thank you, I'm very happy too, because I am a die-hard superhero fan. It's a pity that Warner Bros. is not short of money. Otherwise, I really want to acquire DC Comics and Marvel Comics together." Wan Xiaohu was half-truth and half-false  In fact, he is not a die-hard superhero fan, but he is just greedy for the performance of superhero movies at the box office.  "Director Wan is very optimistic about the future of superhero movies?" "It depends on how it is run. With a good script and a good director, any movie is very promising. With a bad script and a bad director, it just depends on how it is run."  He would also make "Titanic" into a boring soap opera. There have been more and more superhero movies in recent years, but they don't make much money, especially Warner Bros. I think they hate Spider-Man."  "Spider-Man" has been released twice, each with a box office of 7.8 billion US dollars. It is currently the best-grossing superhero movie.  Just seeing the popularity of "Spider-Man", Warner Bros. couldn't hold back its eagerness and made movies such as "Catwoman", "Superman Returns", "V for Vendetta", etc., but the result was that they were so disappointed that they rushed to the street.  cold.  Comparing people to each other is so annoying!  "Director Wan is confident that he can make a superhero movie well? That's why you want to buy back the X-Men?" Tom Rodman narrowed his eyes slightly.  "I don't have much confidence, but it's worth trying. It would be the best if we could take back Spider-Man. I personally prefer Spider-Man's style. However, it will be difficult for Sony Columbia Pictures to return the copyright before it makes enough money.  I think X-Men is easier to repurchase. "Why does Director Wan think so?" Wan Xiaohu chuckled: "I don't think 20th Century Fox can make much money from X-Men.  The cost is very high, but the box office is far behind Spider-Man. To be honest, I originally thought that with so many people, X-Men should be more profitable than Spider-Man, but now I think that maybe the more people there are, the less it will be.  Features, so I want to buy it back and build it in my way. What do you think, Chairman Rodman, can you make a price?" "I'm sorry, we also feel that X-Men has great potential and we have no plans to sell it.  "I came here with a check." Wan Xiaohu smiled unmoved, like a fox.  (To be continued)PS: There will be another update later!
