China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 609: Three Phases

In Kevin's opinion, the failure of the last Marvel movie was closely related to the meddling of those board members.

Lin Gao smiled.

"There is no need to address me with honorifics. Mr. Kevin can continue to call me Lin."

"Or just calling my name is fine."

Kevin shook his head and said in shock.

"How can that be done?"

“You are our director.”

Lin Gao did not argue with him on this matter, but continued to invite him to sit down, and the two of them discussed the future development of Marvel.

Lin Gao folded his hands, leaned leisurely on the sofa, lifted one leg and placed it on top of the other.

His voice is calm and magnetic.

"That's right, Mr. Kevin. I can make it very clear that Marvel's main business in the future must focus on movies."

"If Marvel wants to continue to stick to the comics industry, it will definitely not be able to make money."

"As for why I bought Marvel, it was because I saw its potential for development in the film industry, and I also felt that it would be a pity for such a company to only face bankruptcy and restructuring in the future."

"So I really want to save Marvel."

"But there is only one way to save it. If there are no subsequent funding issues, we can continue to develop comics as a sideline business, as well as comics-related industries."

"In the next few years, we will focus on the film industry."

"To put it simply, I will be adapting the characters that Marvel still owns into movies."

As soon as Kevin heard these words, his eyes brightened several degrees. He clenched his fists in excitement and surprise, and suddenly looked up to meet Lin Gao's half-smile.

"Great, Director Lin, your idea is exactly the same as mine! How does the saying go, no... no plan..."

"Coincidence?"

Lin Gao reminded with a smile.

"Correct."

Kevin slapped his thigh.

“It just happened by coincidence.”

With a tone of surprise, Kevin continued.

"I had the same idea before. If Marvel wants to revive, it is definitely not enough to stick to the old comic industry. We must squeeze into a new circle."

"After considering many factors, I think the film industry is worth a piece of the pie for us."

"The entire industry is like a big cake, and there is still a lot of room for us to expand."

"Perhaps you don't know that our company previously recruited a planning talent who came up with a concept."

“It’s about bringing together all the heroes in our Marvel comics into an independent world.”

“To create an IP that belongs exclusively to our company, a special Marvel Universe.”

After hearing this, Lin Gao was a little surprised.

In the previous life, there were talents in Marvel Studios who came up with this idea, and Marvel Studios also happened to implement this plan, and finally made a lot of money.

Now after hearing Kevin say this, Lin Gao understood in his heart that the time must have come.

He pretended to agree, concealed the expression between his eyebrows, and instead put on an appearance of listening attentively, nodding seriously.

"Can you tell me in detail about your original thoughts and plans?"

Kevin nodded in agreement and then started talking.

“The original plan was divided into three phases.”

At this point, Mr. Kevin paused with a slightly awkward expression, then looked up at Lin Gao.

Lin raised his eyebrows.

"how?"

"This first stage is related to me?"

"Is it the movie that Director Peter called about?" Kevin nodded and said with emotion: "Chairman Lin is so smart."

"Yes, our first plan is to film the IP of Iron Man first."

“The first movie has to be perfect in order to attract more fans and audiences.”

"In addition to Iron Man, we have also listed two Marvel characters to work on the script together."

"Chairman Lin, can you guess which two characters we originally planned to adapt into a film or TV series?"

Kevin kept it a little suspenseful.

Lin Gao thought about it thoughtfully. In fact, he was familiar with the plot and knew the answer to this question.

But we can't be so sure and say it out loud.

So after pretending to be distressed for more than ten seconds, Lin Gao opened his mouth and mentioned a name.

"I'm not sure about the others, but there should be a character called Thor, right?"

Kevin was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded with emotion.

"Yes, that's the character. There's another character called Captain America!"

Lin Gao nodded, and then appropriately raised his "question".

"It's a good idea, but I want to make sure that if you really want to create a fictional heroic world, it will cost a huge amount of money to make a movie."

"Mr. Kevin, are you sure that someone will like the movie you make?"

After Lin Gao asked this question, he gave himself the answer in his heart.

There will definitely be.

The fact that Marvel movies are still so popular in the 21st century speaks for itself.

After Kevin pondered for a while, he gave an affirmative answer.

“I think there will be a market for it.”

"Because we're the first ones to try it, aren't we?"

“It’s precisely because no one has tried it before that we have a chance to succeed.”

"After all, isn't this kind of freshness what the audience needs?"

Lin Gao curved his eyes and praised in his heart.

very smart.

Kevin is a smart guy.

He is also a visionary.

So he nodded, agreeing with what he said.

"Then please continue to talk."

"My pleasure." Kevin replied with a smile.

"After the first step of shooting the three Marvel heroes' movies, I will continue to shoot the second and third parts depending on the response. In addition, I will add elements of the Marvel world to integrate it into a new movie. I have given it a temporary name, called "The Avengers."

Kevin then talked about the order in which he envisioned the film being shot.

Lin Gao nodded.

These plans are similar to the efforts made by Marvel in the previous life.

The order in which the movies were released was also very similar.

"So what are your final plans?"

Lin Gao asked the last soul-searching question at the right time.

Hearing this, Kevin's chatter suddenly stopped, and then he showed an extremely embarrassed and awkward expression.

He opened his mouth timidly and finally sighed.

"My final plan is to make a superhero movie about Spider-Man and Batman, but you also understand that we have already sold the copyrights of these two characters. We can't make it for the time being."
