Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 50 I can’t tell the difference. Do you call this Deadpool?

The next day, Schiff visited the penthouse of the Hampshire Building with lawyers from the Vestar Group.

As soon as they met, she took out a drafted copyright exchange contract.

On the sofa in the living room, Jamie read through the contract and handed it to Jimmy beside him, asking him to confirm it again.

Serena brought coffee and some cupcakes that Max had sent this morning. Sif was full of surprise when she saw them. She picked up one and took a bite to confirm that it still tasted like the one she had at the wedding yesterday.

"Which store made this custom-made cake? It tastes really good."

"A friend of mine made it, and I'm planning to persuade her to open a cake shop of her own." Serena replied casually.

Sif would never have imagined that the friend Serena mentioned was just a nanny, taking care of other people's children downstairs at the moment.

She smiled, nodded, and said, "That's great. If this store opens, please remember to notify me as soon as possible."

After finishing the cake and taking two more sips of coffee, Sif looked at Jamie and Serena, who were sitting next to each other on the sofa opposite, seizing every opportunity to spread dog food, and proposed that she wanted to visit this place.

Serena stood up and led Sif around the house, finally coming to Jamie's study.

Although Serena had warned Sif to be mentally prepared before entering, after opening the door, Sif was still shocked by the various figurines filled to the brim in the bookcases on three walls all the way to the ceiling.

I'm afraid this number doesn't have to be tens of thousands.

Among them, the largest number and the most conspicuous one are more than a dozen Iron Man figure models of different sizes.

There is also a large model of Iron Man that is nearly 2 feet tall next to the desk.

All this shows the owner of the library's love for this second-tier Marvel superhero.

Sif's eyes widened and she turned her head to look at Serena, who was leaning against the door with her arms folded.

"I remember you told me yesterday that Jamie's favorite is Deadpool."

"Yes, the most popular ones here are the Deadpool figures. There is even one next to the desk." Serena replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

Sif suddenly couldn't hold herself any longer.

You call Iron Man Deadpool?

Serena shrugged and replied nonchalantly:
"So am I wrong? Sorry, you know I'm not interested in these kind of superhero comics that only boys like. I can't tell who is who among many of them. The only one who can't call me by the wrong name is The only ones are probably Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, and I definitely know the three of them."

Nonsense, everyone in America knows the Big Three of American comics.

Although Serena's explanation sounded reasonable, Sif decided that she had been tricked.

After coming out of the study, she asked to borrow the bathroom.

After entering and closing the door, Sif immediately called Logan to tell her father that they had been fooled.

Unexpectedly, after Logan heard this, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he told Sif in a calm tone and continued to sign the contract.

"Dad, I told you this was a trap. What Jamie Dutton really wants is Iron Man!" Sif pointed her mouth at the phone's microphone and tried her best to control her volume.

"You said this was a conspiracy, so how can you be sure that what you just saw was not another conspiracy?"

Old Logan's words left Sif speechless.

Taking this opportunity, Logan Sr. began to teach his daughter.

"When we can't clearly see our opponent's intentions, we can stand back from our own point of view and choose whatever is most beneficial to us."

Deadpool is far higher than Iron Man in terms of fame, influence and film and television value.

At this moment, Old Logan no longer cares whether Jamie really wants to be Iron Man or Deadpool. He only needs to make sure that exchanging the film and television rights of Iron Man for the film and television rights of "Percy Jackson" is a good deal.

Sif came out of the bathroom and just walked into the living room when Jimmy and the lawyer from Vestar Pictures stood up from the sofa at the same time.

Jimmy spoke first.

"Ms. Roy, I have confirmed that there are no problems with the contract and you can start signing it."

The lawyer of Westar Group also cast a confirming look at Sif.

Sif forced a smile on her face and nodded.

"Okay, let's sign."

After the contract was signed, Sif declined Serena's invitation to stay for lunch and left with her lawyer.

Jimmy also said goodbye and left.

In the afternoon, he and Jamie will go to the restaurant where Max works to sign an investment contract.

At yesterday's wedding, all the guests who tasted the cupcakes were full of praise for them. This made Serena see the business opportunities contained in them, so she discussed with Jamie about investing in Max to open a cake shop.

Jamie also has this intention. Of course, he will never tell Serena. This move is actually to help Caroline.

Jamie, who is familiar with the plot, knows that Caroline and Max are working in the same restaurant.

And Caroline is currently staying at Max's house.

Return her thoroughbred racehorse named Li Bao.

The bank seized all the property in Caroline's family, including her trust fund, but only allowed Caroline to take Li Bao away.

The people at the bank couldn't find any pedigree documents about Li Bao, so they decided that this was an ordinary horse.

So he "generously" returned it to Caroline.

After all, you have to find a stable for the horse, bathe and brush it every day, and shovel poop. If you accidentally fail to take good care of it, you will be approached by an animal protection organization to complain.

A complete negative asset.However, this horse was actually purchased by Caroline from the Yellowstone Ranch during the summer vacation through Jamie's connections. Before the pedigree documents could be sent out, Caroline's father went bankrupt.

Of course, in addition to sympathizing with and helping Caroline, Jamie also has deeper business considerations.

Max’s Cupcakes, it would be such a waste to open just one cake shop.

If it can be turned into a chain catering brand, it will undoubtedly have more investment value.

Dunkin' Donuts can start off with donuts, and Max's Cupcakes may not be able to become the next Dunkin' Donuts.

This is not because Jamie is blindly confident, but because Max’s cupcakes really have a bit of a “protagonist halo”.

Just from the texture and taste alone, everyone who eats it will be full of praise.

Jamie has only encountered similar situations with Yellowstone beef fed by his father John using space spring water.

Before he could recover his distant thoughts, Serena's voice rang in his ears.

"My dear, do you think Sif will believe my explanation?"

Serena was still brooding over the fact that she had just acted as Sif. Although she was doing this to help her boyfriend, she still felt a little guilty.

Jamie put his girlfriend into his arms, let her rest her head on his chest and comforted:
"Don't worry, if Sif is not from the Roy family, and Weststar Media Group happens to own the film and television rights of several Marvel superheroes, even if you say Iron Man is Deadpool in front of her, she will I will be convinced.”

"But I feel that Sif has noticed it. She must have reported this to Mr. Roy when she went to the bathroom."

Serena was still a little worried.

Jamie picked up the contract folder that had been set aside.

"But Weststar Media Group signed a contract with me anyway. Logan Roy must have done it because he thought it was a good deal, and I happened to think so too."

Serena could understand the first half of the sentence, but she couldn't understand the second half.

She raised her head and looked at her boyfriend with some confusion.

"But I always feel that the film and television value of the "Percy Jackson" novel is much stronger than that of Iron Man."

That's because you haven't seen the Marvel movies.

Jamie replied silently in his mind.

However, the reality is that today's Marvel Studios has just been established, and the person in charge is having a headache on how to get back the superheroes that were originally sold.

Currently, their main focus is on those A-list superheroes in comics.

For example, X-Men and Fantastic Four are owned by Vestar, and Spider-Man is owned by Sony.

But obviously, these Hollywood giants are not stupid. Everyone has already seen the future market prospects of superhero movies.

Vestar has been slow to move. Sony's first Spider-Man is already in full swing. The director is still Sam Raimi, but the leading actor is an actor that Jamie has never heard of in his previous life.

Because of this matter, Jamie went to check it out.

The good news is that most of the actors and directors from Marvel movies exist, such as Robert Downey Jr., the chosen actor who plays Iron Man.

Jamie just saw the news in the newspaper a while ago that this guy was sent to forced withdrawal for taking contraband.

There is also Pepper Gwyneth Paltrow. In terms of blood relationship, she is also Rebecca Paltrow's distant cousin.

Rebecca herself said that she wanted to study acting in college because of the influence of this cousin.

Of course, the most important thing is Kevin Feige, the future head of Marvel, who also made his debut.

Although the fourth phase of the MCU relies on defense, it cannot be denied that the first three phases of the MCU really opened an era.

However, the bad news is that the widowed sister is gone, and so is the Oomei.

Fortunately, there is a replacement, but last time Jamie forgot to ask Grace what major she wanted to study in college.

It would be embarrassing if you have no interest in performing.

But these are not things Jamie needs to worry about. The person who should have a headache is the future Kevin Feige.

Actors can be re-cast, but the core character of the entire MCU movie universe, Iron Man, is gone, and that is the most fatal thing.

With Iron Man in his hands, Jamie is holding the lifeline of Marvel Studios firmly.

And all Jamie paid was the film and television rights to "Percy Jackson."

In this world, Weststar Pictures, a film company under Weststar Media Group, can basically be equated with [-]th Century Fox in Jamie's previous life.

In the previous life, "Percy Jackson" was bought by [-]th Century Fox and then made into a film based on the defense.

Jamie is not optimistic that the film and television rights of the novel will change his destiny if it is in the hands of Weststar Pictures.

And even if this probability, which is lower than winning the lottery, happens, Jamie will not suffer.

In the previous life, Warner bought the film and television rights of "Harry Potter" from JK Rowling for only US$200 million, which also included the rights to all derivative works of the "Harry Potter" series.

It was precisely because of this overbearing copyright contract that JK Rowling was directly expelled from her "authorship" by Warner for saying something wrong when filming the "Fantastic Beasts" series.

Even so, signing this contract with Warner was still the best decision JK Rowling ever made in her life.

Without Warner investing in the filming of the "Harry Potter" series of movies and making great efforts to promote them globally, JK Rowling would have no problem achieving financial freedom by writing novels, but if the novels sold more than 5 million copies, her wealth would It is absolutely impossible for a superhero to be like this.

Even if she was later expelled from the magical world she created, JK Rowling can still rank among the top writers in income with her annual royalties from her novels.

You thought she lost, but in fact she had already won!
