After several contacts, on June 8, Mann Media and Marvel Entertainment finally reached an agreement.

Among them, Mann Media will acquire all shares of Marvel Entertainment for a total price of US$1.53 billion, and Marvel will officially announce that it will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mann Media.

After that, the CAA party received a benefit fee of US$45 million, and returned happily. With sufficient cash, it paid off a large part of the debt owed by Marvel, and its debt ratio dropped from 58% to 7%.

This acquisition also brought the liquidity reserved by Mann Media from 2.04 billion to 470 million.

It has only maintained the daily operations of several companies for about a year. However, after the Juneau painting, there will be a box office income of no less than 84 million US dollars, and the financial situation will not be very serious.

It can even be said that it is difficult to find such an opportunity to interfere in Marvel.

Everyone knows that after Marvel took off his life by betting, its market value doubled in a very short period of time. "Iron Man" was screened in 2008. It was 4.2 billion in 2009.

This, in addition to waiting for two years and preparing for two years, is also the result of the common influence of the times and people.

You should know that without the tightening of bank lending and instability of financial markets and the whereabouts of housing prices, negotiations with shareholders of Marvel would never be so easy.

This is also because of this change, many shareholders no longer care about Marvel's investment and urgently need cash.

In addition, Brian Lord has mastered first-hand information and strong public relations skills, and directly contacted the Marvel management and communicated with the controlling party, completely cutting off the idea of ​​Avi Arad and others' gamble.

Of course, the production ability of fireflies that has been constantly proven by the market is also one of the keys to stabilize people's hearts.

June 9.

Under the witness of many media, Lehman, Avi Arad and Ike Patum made a formal debut and reported the news to the media in a friendly manner.

This is just a normal acquisition case in the circle, but because it involves Marvel Entertainment, which has a great influence in the comics market across the United States, it is still very valuable to report.

As the news spread, online and comic fans quickly made this matter the focus of discussion.

Not only some people care very much, but Firefly fans also pay close attention to it.

Mainly, many people can think of what they want to acquire Marvel.

The great success of "Spider-Man" cannot be ignored.

After Warner Pictures and DC President Anthony learned the news, he was also thinking about Lehman’s intention.

But no matter how you think about it, Marvel is indeed a mess, and I just sigh that people who have always been smart also have times of confusion.

If Marvel is really valuable, Columbia would have won it two years ago.

After filming "Spider-Man", senior executives conducted an asset assessment of Marvel and did not feel that there was a need for an acquisition.

Of course, no matter what the outside world thinks or says, Lehman doesn't care, because time and results will prove everything.

That afternoon.

Lehman took the report from Joseph and ordered: "You pick a group of people from Fireflies to enter Marvel, and contact the headhunter company to find some experienced managers in the circle to fill in the remaining vacancies. Think more about how to arrange the specific details."

When Joseph went out, Ryan entered and said, "The man is waiting outside. Do you want him to come in?"

"Well, let him know."

After Ryan left, a short while, a tall and fat white man in his forties and a little fat figure entered the office with two faint dark circles.

......

Kevin Fitch has been unable to sleep well since Marvel was acquired by Mann Media.

You said that he is a producer, but he relies on Marvel's character image to have the opportunity to come into contact with people in this industry. He finally accumulated some work experience and his salary and benefits are also steadily increasing, but as a result, he encountered changes in the company's senior management.

He didn't know what his future would be like, so Kevin was a little worried.

Then, he was notified to see him and suddenly became nervous again.

After entering, I only dared to look at it for a moment, then quickly looked away and waited quietly for the boss's instructions.

Seeing this, Lehman looked at Kevin carefully.

Does it look like you have seen many people in your previous life, and it is quite ordinary, but this is such a person who has brought Marvel to a new level.

If Avi Arad is the savior who saved Marvel on the brink of bankruptcy, then Kevin Feige is the leader who made Marvel rise rapidly.

"Kevin, look at your resume, have you participated in many adaptations of Marvel characters?"

Kevin Feige listened to the boss's intimate attitude and felt that something might be good. He couldn't help but feel excited and tried to calm down and replied: "At that time, Marvel lacked a person who regulated the crew, so I took it over. Over the years, I have been doing similar jobs."

Kevin's production talent lies in his ability to connect roles in various movie series, fully cater to the audience's tastes, and has a strong business acumen.

The reason why he has such a keen vision is that this man, as a Marvel side, joined various studios to cooperate in the development of Marvel movies, including the "X-Men" series.

In short, he understood Marvel's characters very well, participated in the production process of various works, and understood the market factors for success, which laid the foundation for him to develop the Marvel Universe.

In other words, a producer who is better than him knows Marvel than him, and does not know how to make movies. In addition, he can fully investigate the market audience and thinks that adapting comics is just copying the image settings. How could such a person not be suitable for the president of Marvel Studios?

Yes, the first person Leman appointed was Kevin Feige, who is also considered an old Marvel man, with both qualifications and ability. Of course, he had to be promoted to the executive of the Marvel project just like his previous life and give him enough voice.

Seeing that Lehman had made arrangements, Kevin Feige was unwilling to leave the familiar field, so of course he accepted it politely.

"There is one thing you can know first. In a few days, I will split Marvel Studios from Marvel Entertainment and mention the corresponding administrative level. The first thing you do after taking office is to improve the personnel structure as soon as possible and recruit people if you lack them."

Lehman continued to say to Kevin Feige, who is about to be promoted to president of the film industry: "Also, I will launch a movie in the second half of this year to adapt the role of Iron Man. Before the project is officially launched, you can go to the screenwriter department of Firefly to develop a shooting idea, and you can treat it as a test."

Kevin felt the pressure instantly when he heard this.

This position is not that easy to work, but he will definitely not give up.

How can you retreat with such an opportunity if you can be valued by a new boss?

Furthermore, he had always thought about how to shoot Marvel's own movies, but the Marvel Studios, which was established before, was just an empty shell used to cooperate with other studios. He had no production ability, so he had no way to realize his ideas.

"Also," Lehman waved his hand and said, "Marvel Studios and Marvel Entertainment should not be separated from each other, do you understand?"

"clear."

Kevin hesitated a little, sorted out the language, and then said, "I don't know the department's funds... and, what should I follow when I pay for the expenses?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Since I want to reuse Marvel Studios, of course I will make arrangements. Joseph will help with the specific financial statements. You only care about production and project development. If there are any problems in the comics department, you don't need to pay attention to it and report it in a realistic manner."

When Kevin Feige walked out of the boss's office, he was in a daze, but he was more motivated.

Is the first character adapted to be Iron Man?

science and technology?

......

Rust Manor, night.

Eva sat by the balcony, blew the cool breeze and looked through the newspaper.

Not long after, the other person was back.

The sound of the car engine, the sound of the door opening, the housekeeper's greetings, and then, it was the sound of him coming over to tease him.

"What are you doing?"

Eva sorted out her clothes that were touched, glared at a man with lust, and spread out the newspaper on her own.

"Can I even compare to the temptation of a newspaper?"

The man's shameless voice rang.

"Hmph, this is a report on the paintings in Juno, which sounds so nice."

"After going over and over again, it's a dark horse, it's a cliché, nothing new."

Eva ignored him. This is a movie she produced. Can the meaning be the same?

"That's right. In the past, you played the role, but now you chose the role, which is very novel."

"Forget it, let's go to bed. Do you wash first, or should I wash first, or...wash together?"

"If you don't speak, you'll just agree. You've been together for so long."

Leman thought a lot and finally picked up the lovely little fairy.
Chapter completed!
