Chapter 242： Tycoon Road
In fact, compared with Blade Warrior, the other copyrights of Marvel Comics are the most important, such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, etc., especially the first three, that is just any one, Then you can give all your investment to the super cash cow that earns back!
"How much did you spend in total?" Zhang Dongcheng was very curious about this. In his opinion, buying Marvel Comics definitely cost a lot. After all, this company is really valuable. Especially after the frenzy of comic book adaptation movies surged later, those copyrights were simply sky-high.
"Nearly 1.4 billion!" Adaman replied.
Zhang Dongcheng was a little surprised, not because there were too many, but because there were too few. But it doesn’t matter now, anyway, Marvel Comics already belongs to Zhang Dongcheng. From now on, Dongcheng Films can be regarded as completely established. Even if it is really uncreative, it can still change the comics. For those superhero comics, you can definitely earn one if you adapt it. There is basically no possibility of losing money.
Think about it, Marvel Comics has been established for such a long time, I don’t know how many people grew up watching the comics under this company. It can be said that Marvel comics represent the childhood memories of several generations.
These people are the guarantee of the movie box office!
Although Marvel Comics has become Zhang Dongcheng's pocket, he doesn't need to participate in the operation of the comic company. Because before the purchase, Zhang Dongcheng had already made an agreement with the other party. What he wants is the ownership of the comic company, especially the copyright of all superhero movies. As for the operation of the company, he will not interfere.
For Zhang Dongcheng, his foundation is Dongcheng Pictures, which is movies! Zhang Dongcheng doesn't know anything about manga, so it's better to let it go.
Just as the Golden Globe Awards were about to open, a piece of news came from the Los Angeles media, and it exploded like cold water dripping into boiling oil.
This is a staunch supporter of Zhang Dongcheng, a report in the Los Angeles Film News.
"It is reported that a few days ago, Marvel Comics, which grew up with generations of Americans, changed hands when it was about to undergo bankruptcy and reorganization! And the person who bought Marvel Comics turned out to be a great director of Chinese descent who has become famous in the past two years , Smith? Zhang!"
Subsequently, in a detailed description of the founding and operation process of Marvel Comics, the media finally described: "Dongcheng Pictures, which owns Marvel Comics, has become the capital of Hollywood entertainment giants!"
After this report, countless media began to turn their attention to Dongcheng Pictures, Zhang Dongcheng himself and Marvel Comics.
At this time, everyone knew why Zhang Dongcheng disappeared a few days ago. It turned out that he was busy buying Marvel Comics! This action really shocked many people.
"The climate is done! Smith? Chang's road to entertainment tycoon!" - "Entertainment Weekly"
"In two years, from nothing to become a Hollywood entertainment tycoon, Smith? Zhang tells you what is the American dream!" - "California Daily"
Because of the purchase of Marvel comics, Zhang Dongcheng has another title of entertainment tycoon in addition to the commercial director, but many people know that this title is almost a good-natured joke.
The current Dongcheng Pictures still has a long way to go from being an entertainment tycoon.
Regarding the media reports, Zhang Dongcheng was just watching the excitement. Because the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is here.
Last year’s Golden Globe Awards, Zhang Dongcheng took the members of the mummy crew to go, although he had two nominations, he got nothing in the end.
This year it's much better. Before the Golden Globe Awards, Zhang Dongcheng had already asked Adaman to carry out public relations. I believe that this time at least he will not return empty-handed.
According to Adaman's disclosure, the most likely winner this time is Michelle Yeoh's Best Actress, and she is competing with Judi Dench in "Mrs. Brown". However, this is also more likely.
As a Chinese, Michelle Yeoh joined Dongcheng Films. Although she opened the door to Hollywood because of The Matrix 1, her identity as a Chinese made her not take advantage of all aspects. In the public relations at the Golden Globe Awards this time, Zhang Dongcheng also told Adama to focus on her.
Dame Judith Dench (Dame Judith Olivia "Judi" Dench), a famous British actor. Born December 9, 1934 in Yorkshire.
His representative works include "A Room with a View", "84 Charing Cross Road", "A Piece of Dust", "Mrs. Brown", "Shakespeare in Love", "Chocolate", "Life Together", " "True Express", "Pride and Prejudice", "Mrs. Henderson's Theater", "Scandal Notes", etc., and played Mrs. M in the "007" series of films seven times.
With her flawless performances on stage and screen, she has won numerous international awards, including 10 BAFTAs, 7 Olivier Awards, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards, 1 Academy Award, 2 Golden Globes Awards and Tony Awards, the awards include all the fields she is involved in: stage, TV and film. In recognition of her outstanding achievements, she was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1970 and was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1988.
She is Michelle Yeoh's rival at the Golden Globe Awards. Even Zhang Dongcheng felt that Michelle Yeoh's hope was slim.
On January 18th, the awarding ceremony of the 55th Golden Globe Awards was officially held.
The crew of The Matrix, led by Zhang Dongcheng, headed for the Hollywood Hilton Hotel early.
By the time they arrived at the venue, the place was already full of voices. The most watched is naturally James Cameron, who shot the movie Titanic.
After walking through the red carpet, Zhang Dongcheng immediately called everyone to move freely. Just rush back after the Golden Globes officially start.
himself walked towards James? Cameron.
At this moment, James Cameron is communicating with an old man. The old man Zhang Dongcheng met him once at the Oscar ceremony last year. He was the master director, Steven Spielberg.
Now Steven? Spielberg is preparing his new movie, a World War II feature film - "Saving Private Ryan."
When Zhang Dongcheng came over, James Cameron didn't know what he was chatting with Steven Spielberg, and the two laughed.
"Hi, Mr. Steven. Hello!" After Zhang Dongcheng came over, he greeted Steven immediately, and then turned to James Cameron, saying: "Mr. James, hello!"
"Hello!" The two shook hands, and James Cameron looked at Zhang Dongcheng and said, "You are Smith? Zhang, right? I have seen your movie The Matrix, and it was great!"
"Mr. James is amazing." Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Titanic is really good! I don't think anyone will surpass this movie even within ten years. !"
Zhang Dongcheng's words are completely sincere. You know, the movie Titanic has been released for nearly a year, and it has always dominated the box office chart, until it was broken by James's own "Avatar" many years later. In this respect, James can be said to be NO among directors in the world. 1!
"Thank you for your compliment!" James Cameron laughed, and Titanic is undoubtedly his favorite work. Zhang Dongcheng's compliment was right on his heart.
"Mr. Steven, I heard that you are planning to make a World War II movie this year?" Zhang Dongcheng changed the subject and looked at Steven Spielberg, who had been left out for a while.
"Oh, Smith, your news is really well-informed! Yes, I am indeed preparing a World War II movie!" Steven Spielberg honestly admitted. Looking at Zhang Dongcheng with interest, he said, "Are you also interested in the movies of World War II?"
"Of course! It was a magnificent era." Zhang Dongcheng made no secret of his interest in World War II.
"In a way, it is true. But this war also cost many lives!" Steven said with a heavy tone.
As we all know, Steven Spielberg is a Jew. Regarding World War II, the country he especially hated was Germany. This is the same reason that the Chinese hate the Japanese.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. I bought the entire Marvel Comics. I have to admit, Smith, that your decision is definitely ahead of everyone else. Future comic adaptations are definitely a very popular movie category!" Steven suddenly skipped the topic of World War II. Said to Zhang Dongcheng.
Zhang Dongcheng was a little dazed. In fact, it is far from the craze for manga adaptations. Unexpectedly, Steven has already seen the trend of future manga changes. I have to admit that he is indeed worthy of being called a master director.
"That's right, I also liked watching Marvel comics when I was young!" James Cameron interjected: "I believe that after you put it on the big screen in the future, there will be many fans of comics to support it. Of course, I will support it too! "
"Thank you!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded to James with a smile, and moved: "Mr. James, in fact, when I found out that your Titanic was going to be released, I urgently moved up the schedule of The Matrix. Now It seems that my original decision was so wise!"
James couldn't help smiling. He knew very well that Zhang Dongcheng was joking, so he said along the way: "Then I can only say sorry. It made your work a lot busy!"
After communicating with James Cameron and Spielberg, Zhang Dongcheng had to say goodbye and leave. Not long after James and Cameron left, his eyes fell on a woman not far away. It was a girl with long brown hair.
Zhang Dongcheng’s deepest impression on her is the movie Tomb Raider.
"How much did you spend in total?" Zhang Dongcheng was very curious about this. In his opinion, buying Marvel Comics definitely cost a lot. After all, this company is really valuable. Especially after the frenzy of comic book adaptation movies surged later, those copyrights were simply sky-high.
