Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 474 Acquisition of Marvel
"To be honest, I am somewhat interested in the five studios of Jinling Magic Warner, but it is still a bit difficult to win all of them at once." Chen Hao said.

Greg heard the words, "The total investment in the five film studios has reached 5 million yuan, of which Warner holds 1% of the shares, which is 75 million yuan. This amount of money is not as good as what you can earn from a movie."

"You're exaggerating, and I don't only have theater companies under my umbrella. I have to spend money everywhere, and I really can't get it out for a while." Chen Hao laughed.

"Then how about we use the 7500 million yuan to invest in your Liangtianru Films? Or add more money." Greg said suddenly.

Hearing the words, Chen Hao couldn't help cursing inwardly, thinking beautifully, "No need, Liang Tianchi Pictures is not short of money for the time being."

"That's such a pity." Greg regretted, "Then why don't you make an offer!"

"3500 million RMB, and I also want the film copyrights of Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam, and League of Justice." Chen Hao laughed.

Although Warner Bros. owns 75% of the shares in the theater, it doesn’t mean that they actually paid 7500 million in real money. They must have also paid, but a considerable part of it is invested in technology and management.

The real winner is the Phantom who wants to use Warner's technology and fame, so Chen Hao offered 3500 million to bargain

In addition, Warner is the parent company of Marvel's rival DC, and owns the copyright of DC superheroes, such as Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam, League of Justice and so on.

Although the League of Justice is far less popular than Marvel, it is also a superhero team brand that competes with the Avengers, not to mention that the box office of individual superhero series movies is also good.

And now that even the Avengers have not succeeded, Warner Bros. naturally has no plan to launch the Justice League, maybe they can steal a chicken.

As for DC's two big names, Superman and Batman, that must be wishful thinking, so Chen Hao didn't even mention it.

"3500 million is too little, and when did you get interested in DC Comics superheroes?" Greg asked.

"I'm very interested in all comic superheroes, not just Marvel." Chen Hao laughed.

"The price is 7000 million. The DC superhero copyright can be considered in addition to Superman and Batman, but the period is only 10 years!" Greg laughed.

Now DC comics are much better than Marvel, and the box office of the adapted superhero movies is far better than Marvel.

After all, Superman and Batman were adapted as early as 30 or [-] years ago, and they were a great success. Now with the success of "The Mystery of Shadows", Batman has regained his vitality, and Superman has entered the plan again.

The two big names of DC are about to fight on the big screen again!

However, DC and Marvel have encountered the same problem, that is, except for the two big names, other superhero movies have failed miserably, such as the recent Green Lantern, blood loss!
Warner may want to refer to [-]th Century Fox's X-Men series to launch a superhero team brand, so it chose Green Lantern, with the Green Lantern Corps behind it.

But Green Lantern has a grand background, and the adaptation was not successful, which also made Warner's plan come to an end as soon as it started!
"Well, if the conditions are right, I can buy these five theaters, but I will let a special person discuss the specific conditions with Warner." Chen Hao said.

"OK, no problem." Greg nodded.

Now Warner has made a decision to fully withdraw from the mainland theater market.

The Jinling Magic Shadow Warner Cinemas, which is 75% owned by Warner Bros., have already built these 5 studios, but in fact, there were 30 more cinemas to be built in the original plan, but they have been cancelled.

Even Yongsheng Studios, the magic capital that has maintained the annual box office champion in the mainland for many years, is no longer there.

Not to mention the more than 30 Warner Bros. studios developed in cooperation with Wanda.

Now, Warner Bros. is looking for buyers everywhere in the mainland. The magic city Yongsheng Film City found Moying, and those who cooperated with Wanda naturally found Wanda. These are all 49% of the shares, but there is no rush.

The most urgent thing is Jinling Magic Shadow Warner Cinemas, which is 5% owned by the five companies. Because the time is too short, it is already good to find someone who is willing to take over, so the price will inevitably be lower!
Because the negotiation between Hu Jin and Marvel was still going on, Chen Hao stayed in Marvel and had nothing to do, so he returned directly to Liangtianchi Pictures.

"President Chen?" Smart was taken aback when he saw Chen Hao. He hadn't received the news that Chen Hao had come to the United States beforehand.

"Smart, what have you been up to lately?" Chen Hao smiled.

"Of course I'm busy with the release of the company's films." Smart said, "The four films invested and produced by the company have all been completed, and all of them are scheduled to be released from September to November."

《人皮客栈》将于9月16日上映，《飓风营救2》安排在10月7日，《电锯惊魂4》在10月31日的万圣节，《兽餐》定档11月18号。

"What about "The Martian"?" Chen Hao asked.

"Of course it's Christmas, December 12!" Smart said.

Although the Christmas file is not as good as the summer file, because there are multiple holidays during the period, there is a good chance to get a good box office result.

Moreover, the Christmas file is already in the North American awards season, which is a very suitable time for movies that want to hit the awards.

For "The Martian", Smart believes that there are certain expectations at the box office. After all, "Man With No Surname" won a box office of 5650 million US dollars, and the jewels are the first.

Moreover, Zhou Runfa's performance is good, and he should be nominated for some awards, or even win awards, which will also benefit the box office.

Therefore, the Christmas file is the most suitable time for Chinese films shot by Chen Hao!

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, and then said, "I am going to acquire Marvel, and I should spend a lot of money, but it will not affect the company's budget for next year."

Smart took a deep breath when he heard the words, and then nodded. After all, his young boss still took action against Marvel.

The company now has $2.18 million left on its books, almost all of which is from The Hangover.

Now it seems that it will be hollowed out, but fortunately, the company will have 4 new films released soon, and there should be no break in the capital chain by then.

Later, Ravenal came to Chen Hao, and under Chen Hao's instruction, he spent 500 million dollars to buy the film and television adaptation rights of a best-selling novel, "The Twilight Saga"!
In the evening, Chen Hao took Xiaoying back to his Beverly Hills villa. Xiaoying was dumbfounded, this guy is really buying villas everywhere, he really spends money like dirt!
When Chen Hao was taking Xiaoying to visit the villa, he suddenly received a call from Hu Jin.

"It's been negotiated, come to sign the contract tomorrow, and then make money, Marvel is yours!" Hu Jin said with a smile.

Chen Hao felt excited when he heard the words, and couldn't help hugging Xiaoying who was beside him and walked around. Although he had already made an intention, but now that it has been implemented, he is still excited.

After all, this is the Marvel that swept the world in later generations, now, it is mine!
