In the movie theater, the lights suddenly went out.
The logos of the Han and Tang Dynasties appeared on the screen, and the surroundings became quiet.
Perlmutter and Kevin Feige were specially placed next to Lu Fei, and Ivanka explained the acquisition plan to them.
Of the US$4.35 billion, 2.85 billion are in cash.
Most of it was borrowed from the Three-Body Fund, and the remaining 1.5 billion was paid with the shares of Han and Tang after the merger. As for the foreign debts incurred by Marvel, it was still on Marvel's account, and Han and Tang were not responsible.
"Our acquisition of Dingfeng had almost the same conditions." Lu Fei said with a smile, "After integrating with us, we got along very well and was responsible for the distribution channels of the entire Han and Tang Dynasties."
"Money is important."
Perlmutter said sternly: "Without money, the construction of the Marvel universe will not be fast, but Marvel values freedom more. How much freedom can Hantang give us in terms of projects?"
Ivanka replied: "According to Lu's wishes, we hope to form a 'creative committee' with Marvel to provide comprehensive suggestions on the entire production process of the Marvel universe. A total of five representatives from both parties will be fully responsible. "
"This is not how a typical Hollywood movie is made."
Perlmutter and Kevin Feige looked at each other.
"Yes, generally the producers and directors have the final say, but the situation in the Marvel Universe is different. There are so many characters, so many classic plots, and complex interpersonal relationships. You can't just pick a character and find a crew. It will work.”
Lu Fei said: "What do you think?"
Perlmutter felt that it made sense and asked about the composition and membership ratio of the creative committee. Marvel must have a majority.
Lu Fei pointed at Perlmutter, Kevin Feige and Ivanka one by one. In addition, Hantang and Marvel each had one more.
Kevin Feige's heart pounded when he heard this.
On the surface, among the five votes, there were only two iron votes from the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In fact, he had had enough of Perlmutter and had long been secretly incited to rebel. But once Perlmutter and the Marvel board of directors agreed to this plan, it was equivalent to the iron vote of Han Tang and Marvel——
It will always be 2 to 2.
His crucial vote can give him enough free space in the Marvel Universe, and Lu Fei also has a hand.
Veto power!
Of course, it will basically not be used unless absolutely necessary.
"I don't object to your vote, and I don't object even to Lu's veto power, but the other vote also belongs to the Han and Tang Dynasties..."
Perlmutter frowned.
"To be precise, it's not for us, it's for distribution, that is, for Peak." Ivanka explained, "It's not that we don't believe in your ability to adapt and produce, but the fact is that you made two movies in a row, "American Team" and "Hulk" has all failed, and of course one or two failures are nothing, but the Marvel Universe must evolve and more people must participate and brainstorm."
"Two seats, don't you think it's reasonable?"
Lu Fei looked left and right.
Kevin Feige wanted to shout "reasonable", but looking at Perlmutter's face, you can see that he neither objected nor agreed, but changed the subject: "Let's watch the movie first, watch the movie."
Let’s see how good “Iron Man 2” is!
The second part inherits the essence of the first part, once again showing the charm and sense of humor of Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. once again plays Iron Man brilliantly, and Zeng Li is no longer a vase.
When the two played against each other, they secretly inserted advertisements.
Just like the concept cars of car companies, Logic has also launched future concept mobile phones. Gyroscopes are just for children. Face recognition, lifting cameras, voice recognition, fast charging technology, everything is available.
After all, this is a world where even Iron Man armor can be made.
In the final battle, the ultimate villain Whiplash was simply inferior in his previous life. The two battles took 3 minutes in total. From motivation to combat effectiveness, he didn’t look like a boss at all.
But now, things are different!
Whiplash developed three sets of fully-automatic armors for sea, land and air that were not inferior to Iron Man. The two fought fiercely, and amidst the screams, the outcome was still evil.
The entire city was illuminated by the flames of the explosion.
In the Easter egg after the end of the movie, Tony Stark initially gained the qualification to join the Avengers organization.
"Wow!"
"Bah bang bang!"
In addition to the reserved applause of industry insiders, the current movie fans are already excited, screaming and applauding one after another.
"Do you think this movie will fail?"
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth rose.
Perlmutter licked his lips. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that "Iron Man 2" has the potential to be a hit.
Marvel just sucks at drawing comics, so what do you know about Marvel movies!
Lu Fei said with a smile: "As long as you and we work together, we will definitely be able to create a Marvel Universe that makes a lot of money, right?"
Perlmutter pondered for a moment, and went a step further to expand the number of creative committee members to seven, with Marvel accounting for at least four votes.
"Let Ivanka talk to you about the specific details."
Lu Fei said: "But the ugly words come first."
"Lu, tell me."
Perlmutter was curious.
"Even if the negotiation eventually breaks down, I don't want it to affect our subsequent cooperation. You prepare your 'Marvel Universe' and we will continue our 'Avengers'."
Lu Fei asked for the rights to adapt superheroes such as Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Loki, and Black Panther.
"Of course!"
Perlmutter smiled: "We also hope that Iron Man..."
"Saori."
Lu Fei interrupted directly. Iron Man is not for sale. Not only is he the absolute core of the Avengers, he is also completely tied to his own image and that of Logic. He definitely cannot be handed over to Marvel.
The corners of Perlmutter's mouth twitched slightly: "We will take your plan back and discuss it seriously with the board of directors."
Lu Fei shook hands with him, and then reached out to Kevin Feige. While shaking hands, the two people's eyes met each other.
Kevin Feige nodded calmly.
His eyes were sharp, as if he were saying:
How can a man live in the world between heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?
………………
After the show ended, Lu Fei and others prepared to leave.
At this moment, Lucian's senior assistant called.
Zeng Li and Ivanka stood there, watching him talking and laughing. From the corner of their eyes, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei suddenly broke in.
"Sister Zeng Li!"
Liu Yifei held up the skirt of her white dress.
Zeng Li was surprised, "Hey, you seem to have lost weight?"
"no?"
Liu Yifei touched his face: "Why do I feel a little fatter than before? Don't laugh at me."
Zeng Li said with a smile: "I didn't mean to laugh at you, but I found out that you have baby fat when you are fat. I feel very cute. How do you gain weight without losing your appearance?"
"I envy Sister Zeng Li's figure more than her fatness."
Liu Yifei said: "How can I be slim and plump at the same time?"
"I just eat vegetarian and practice yoga."
Zeng Li covered her mouth and chuckled. After all, she was going to wear a wedding dress in a few days, so she had taken care of her figure in advance.
"I also told her to pay attention to her figure, but Sissi didn't listen. She ate snacks and fast food all day long. American food is high in calories and sugar. She gained several pounds in a few days. I really can't blame her!"
Liu Xiaoli sighed helplessly.
"Then you should pay more attention and don't affect the filming."
Zeng Li smiled and held Liu Yifei's hand.
"Sister Zeng Li, I may not stay in Hollywood this year or next year. My mother has discussed returning to China with me and refocusing our acting career at home." Liu Yifei pursed his lips.
"Have you really thought about it?"
Zeng Li sees through it but doesn’t say anything.
"There is no place for me here."
Liu Yifei nodded helplessly.
Liu Xiaoli was holding back her anger and couldn't help but vent: "Asian actors are bullied here too much. The roles given to us are all superficial. As long as there is a little content and a few lines, we would rather give it to Nico. If Sissi wants to become a It’s impossible for a real actor! He doesn’t even have a chance!”
"It doesn't matter if I go back, there are a lot of opportunities in China now. With Yifei's ability and fame, there will definitely be no shortage of filming."
Zeng Li looked at Liu Yifei and thought of herself. She couldn't help but think that without Lu Fei, she might be in the same situation.
"Ah, yes, yes, those roles are not enough for Sissi to work hard and devote for it." Liu Xiaoli, as her daughter's half-manager, politely asked Zeng Li to help them connect with the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Seeing them chatting in Chinese, Ivanka didn't understand even a single sentence, so she simply went to Lu Fei instead of being a light bulb.
As soon as I got in front of him, the phone just hung up.
"I'm in an emergency, so I won't eat with you."
Lu Fei's fingers were flying on the keyboard, sending group messages.
"What's so urgent?"
Ivanka blinked curiously.
Lu Fei said lightly: "The White House will hold a lunch banquet open to business leaders. Lucian specially invited me to attend and talk about e-commerce. Maybe he saw that China and Europe were engaged in cross-border e-commerce trade through Feigou.com, which made him feel itchy. …”
"You need a female companion for this kind of party."
Ivanka's eyes were full of expectation.
"Of course you are the first choice, but is it suitable?"
"What's inappropriate?"
"Have you forgotten? Your father has always doubted his birth certificate, Twitter, Facebook, and newspapers. It never stops."
Lu Fei said playfully: "Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"
Ivanka shook her head and said, "Why should I be embarrassed?"
"As long as you don't feel embarrassed, then I don't have any problem." Lu Fei put one hand in his pocket and walked back.
I saw Zeng Li and Liu Yifei joking with each other, having fun and getting along like a pair of inseparable best friends.
"When did you two have such a good relationship?"
"Isn't this in a foreign country? When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, tears well up in his eyes. It's rare that both of us are from northern Hubei."
Zeng Li said in a voice that only two people could hear.
Lu Fei glanced at Liu Yifei and saw her giving him a reserved smile, looking away, and then told Zeng Li truthfully, "I'll take the first step, and Ivanka will accompany you."
"Will there be a conflict?"
Zeng Li was worried: "If there is a conflict, Las Vegas can wait for a while and wait until you are finished."
"No, but now I have to make arrangements."
Lu Fei passed between them and left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, Liu Yifei felt lonely and disappointed in his eyes at the thought of not even saying hello to him.
"Why did Mr. Lu just leave when he said he was leaving!?"
Liu Xiaoli was very anxious.
Zeng Li looked at her coldly, then looked at Liu Yifei, and took out a note and pen from her bag, "This is the contact information of Mr. Zhong and Sister Hong. If you want to return to the mainland for development and cooperate with the Han and Tang Dynasties, just contact them. As for Whether they use it or not depends on you, Yifei."
"Thank you, thank you Sister Zeng Li."
Liu Yifei forced a smile.
Without Lu Fei's protection, he couldn't go back.
Is it possible that we really want to get involved in Hong Kong circles? Mixing with Japan and South Korea?
"let's go."
Zeng Li felt that she had done her best, so she hooked Ivanka's arm and heard her laugh and say: "Zeng, it's hard to get a seat at that restaurant, it's no worse than the White House luncheon that Lu is going to eat!"
White House luncheon? !
Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei looked at each other.
……………
"Iron Man 2 paid back its money in two days! The box office is soaring!"
"Iron Man 2 earned US$142 million in box office revenue in the North American market during its first weekend, successfully pushing the dominating "Harry Potter: The Half-Blood Prince" into the runner-up spot. It is expected to earn US$220 million to US$250 million globally in the first week. The amazing opening of the knife.”
"'Iron Man 2' has a shocking easter egg at the end, and 'The Avengers' is suspected to be another strong evidence of China's acquisition of Marvel."
"Iron Man 2 made a surprise appearance of the Logic Future concept phone. The key point is controversial. Will the Logic X3 released this year be equipped with a three-axis gyroscope like the iPhone 4?"
"Huaxia Lu: iPhone 4 is only Apple's best smartphone currently, and logic X3 will be the best smartphone in the world."
"Deliberately or accidentally? Logic's new product launch conference will be held in early October, which will coincide with the release date of iPhone 4!"
"Ivanka Trump, CEO of Han Tang North America, recently publicly announced at a roadshow in Washington that she would officially launch the 'Avengers' movie project of Marvel superheroes this year. There has been no clear answer as to whether she will acquire Marvel. Regarding the incident, In the future, Fox News will continue to follow up and report..."
"Look, Robert."
Jobs shook his bony hand and said, "With the 'Avengers' plan, this bastard Lu seems to be winning over Marvel. How sure are you that you can win Marvel from him?"
"I can only say that the more Huaxia Lu does this, the more Disney wants to grab Marvel. As long as it is within our acceptable range, Steve, I am here to ask you to continue to support me on the board of directors and The acquisition budget has been increased from US$4.3 billion to US$4.4 billion, and Marvel has been given operational autonomy."
Egg crossed his arms.
"Of course, I will fully support you."
Jobs was livid and murderous.
Whatever Lu Fei supports, I will oppose!
Whatever Lu Fei wants, I will destroy it!
As long as we are dealing with Lu Fei, I must help!
"Steve, it is said that he will also participate in this trip to the White House."
Egger smiled: "Will you go?"
"I have asked Tim Cook to represent me and Apple."
Jobs waved his hand: "If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't refuse, as long as it was an occasion where he appeared, we wouldn't want to participate at all."
"Hey, isn't Apple going to enter the Chinese market?"
Iger was very curious: "Feigou.com is undoubtedly the most convenient and effective way. Even Amazon is not as good as this."
"It's not that I need Feigou.com, it's that Feigou.com needs Apple!" Jobs coughed a few times. "We have already established a cooperative relationship with Lu's competitor, Jack Deer. Thanks to him, Apple and one of China's three major operators have One pair is connected, and in return, all Apple mobile phones will be logged into Ali Baba first."
"Then I'll be the only one to meet him."
Iger smacked his lips: "I hope he can take the initiative to give up competing with Disney for Marvel, and not be so disrespectful."
"You'd better put away this fantasy, he won't!"
Jobs sounded very determined.
No one understands this bastard Lu Fei better than him!
