American Peanuts

Chapter 67 Kevin Feige
"Thank you for coming, Razek." Charlie asked him to stand side by side with him.

The eyes of all the reporters in the audience lit up.

At this time, Charlie said: "In fact, Mr. Razek will serve as product creative director at PB in the future! You must have noticed that the magazine's commemorative edition album is being sold intensively across the country. This not only sets a new sales record within PB It also broke the sales record in the publishing field in one fell swoop, and the record is still climbing."

"Next, PB will abandon tradition and launch a new high-end cultural product line. At present, the relevant team has been formed, and specific news will continue to be announced to everyone."

There was a series of cheers from the audience. It was obvious that PB Company had made a new move, and the movement was not small. As soon as it started, it hired the former creative director of Victoria's Secret.

If the previous film companies and artist agents were expansions of their original businesses, the final news is that PB Company has entered into a new field.This is a bold and exciting endeavor.

What exactly is the product?
This mysterious product aroused deep speculation in the audience, and some reporters were even planning to go back and do a special topic on "Prediction of derivatives that PB may get involved in". At least those fans of PB will be willing to watch it.

This mysterious and innovative product, which was announced last, attracted so much attention that nearly half of the questions in the routine interview after the press conference were related to it.

As for Charlie, it can be regarded as a mixed bag. He is happy that it has received attention before releasing specific products, but he is worried that the specific product has not yet been decided.

After the press conference, I came to the rest area backstage and saw several guests who had just come on stage communicating, but Razek was alone there, looking very worried.

"I know it's a bit rushed this time, so I didn't bother you, right?" Charlie stepped forward and asked with concern.

"That's not true, since it will be announced sooner or later. The earlier it can get more attention." Razek smiled.

He just lost his seat on Victoria's Secret's board of directors not long ago, and the parent company has assigned him two deputies and is already preparing to oust him.Razek was still hesitant at first, but now he completely succumbed to Charlie's side, packed up his belongings and jumped to PB overnight.

Charlie stared at this handsome old man with a meticulously shaved beard: "The company will help you solve the lawsuit. You just need to do it with confidence and boldness, and I will provide you with all the support I can provide. You are now the senior director, Maybe I can become a vice president one day?”

"Thank you, Mr. Rossi." Razek nodded hurriedly.

At least with Charlie Rossi, he felt respected.

"The entire team will be in place in the next few days. Then you can study it and summarize possible plans." Charlie patted him on the shoulder. Although his strength was not strong, Razek was a little shorter.

When Spielberg approached, he opened his arms and gave Charlie a big hug.

"You brat, if Gwyneth hadn't told me last night that I was still kept in the dark, you could have informed me directly and let me handle the matter. You don't have to be so outspoken." Spielberg Still thinking about this.

"Of course, in fact, I thought so too, but Gwyneth didn't make things difficult for me." Charlie smiled.

Spielberg waved Gwyneth over.

"Mr. Charlie is a good friend of mine. You are right to follow him. He will make you the hottest star in Hollywood. To be honest, I am sincerely happy for you." Spielberg looked at his goddaughter with eyes full of Of benevolence.

"I will, Dad." Gwyneth said, but there was some doubt in her heart.

It was his godfather who asked him to come from the very beginning. At that time, his attitude toward him was stern and eager. Now he personally stood up for Charlie Rossi and gave him extra instructions.

How should I put it, he had a little too much respect for this Charlie Rossi, and even seemed to be fawning and trying to please him.

Stephanie was convinced that there had never been a Charlie Rossi before. The godfather had only known him for a short time, yet he showed such an unusual attitude.

Things were a little too abnormal.

·
That night, Charlie hosted a banquet for several guests attending the press conference in Chicago and personally sent Spielberg and David Geffen to the hotel.

Originally, Gwyneth was about to leave together, but was stopped by Charlie.

"Can we go and talk in my car?" Charlie said suddenly.

Gwyneth glanced behind her first, but Spielberg and David Geffen had already walked away, and said hesitantly: "Is it okay in the lobby?"

Charlie didn't refuse, so the two of them came to a relatively remote corner of the Langham Hotel lobby.

"Is your role in that Iron Man movie going well? How is the other party considering it?"

Gwyneth breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you spoke for me and Kevin Feige is willing to continue to cooperate with me."

In the final analysis, Gwyneth herself is very similar to Pepper Potts in the comics, and Kevin Feige will not replace her easily.

"I hope you will introduce me to meet him." Charlie said straight to the point.

He is the president of Marvel Studios and the de facto creator of the cinematic universe.

"Kevin Feige, I think he doesn't have time. The movie is about to start shooting, but he doesn't even have a complete script. He is so anxious every day." Gwyneth laughed.

"There's no script?" Charlie couldn't believe it.

This situation has also happened to Xiangjiang Film. In order to increase the turnover rate, the management compressed the shooting time, so that before the filming of the film started, there was not even a script, and some lines were even written on the spot.

But this is Hollywood, which has a complete film industry system. Logically speaking, this should not happen.

"They mortgaged the copyrights of more than a dozen superheroes to Merrill Lynch, raising a total of US$5.5 million in funds, which have to be repaid every year. This time it is a desperate move. Kevin Feige doesn't want this either. Isaac Perlmutter is exerting pressure." As the heroine who was chosen early, Gwyneth also knew something about the inside story.

As for why Marvel made such a desperate move, it all started at the end of the last century. At that time, Marvel Comics had just experienced a high-level shock and was in urgent need of a blood transfusion, so it began to sell its superhero copyrights.The Hulk sold for a measly $700 million at the time.Also sold together are the X-Men and Spider-Man.

In the new century, with the release of several Spider-Man and X-Men movies, a total of 15 billion US dollars have been cut globally. However, Marvel Studios, one of the producers, only received a mere tens of millions of shares.

When Marvel Comics executives saw that superhero movies had such a market, they came up with the idea of ​​using live-action movies to make a comeback. This was the subsequent move to mortgage copyrights to raise funds.

As for the Isaac Perlmutter in her words, he is the major shareholder and actual controller of Marvel Comics. His relationship with Kevin Feige is not good at all, and he has given Kevin Feige a lot of trouble. Damn it, if Disney CEO hadn't personally intervened in his previous life, Kevin Feige might have switched to Universal or Columbia.

"Then he is more interested in meeting me." Charlie said suddenly.

Speaking of which, Isaac Perlmutter will be considered a super-rich man in the United States in the future, and he will have a close relationship with Ivani's father...
