The first thousand four hundred and seventy-one chapters once glorious has come to an end
For the shareholders of Marvel, being acquired is of course a sad thing, but it is also the general trend. Marvel has nothing to do anyway. Of course, if they win the gambling agreement, there will be a last resort.
There is absolutely no hope of using his full strength. Fortunately, Shengtang did it perfectly and convinced the other party, and the US$700 million acquisition plan also satisfied everyone.
This price is much higher than the US$500 million given by Liu Lang four years ago. Now Marvel's market value is close to US$600 million. This is all due to the effect of the release of the Spider-Man movie, and Shengtang is priced at a premium.
100 million US dollars has given Marvel enough face. To do this is the utmost benevolence. How can Marvel have any complaints? Hollywood will never find a "living **" like Liu Lang again.
Liu Lang smiled and nodded to Lawrence.
"Thank you Lawrence for speaking out for Sheng Tang. It turns out that the shareholders of Marvel are also shareholders of Sheng Tang. In fact, we are now a family.
I have a lot of affection for Marvel. I have hundreds of Marvel animation books on my bookshelf.
I think whether an animation image is successful does not depend on which company it belongs to, but whether it is recognized by the public. Many Marvel images have been recognized by the public in history, but in recent years, some of them have not adapted to the development of the times.
, and our Shengtang company is to reawaken these heroes and let them adapt to this era. The Spider-Man movie is a good attempt, and this attempt has been successful.
The goals that Shengtang has to achieve are very big. I can reveal some of them to you here. In the next ten years, the Marvel world will create more than 10 billion US dollars in wealth. Who else can have such great confidence except us, Shengtang Company?
Only we have such confidence and determination."
“Ten billion dollars of wealth in the next ten years?”
Liu Lang's declaration made everyone applaud. Many of them grew up watching Marvel stories. In a sense, the images of Captain America and Hulk no longer belong to a certain
The company belongs to the memory of all Americans, and no one does not want them to "sink".
Liu Lang's declaration at the press conference put pressure on many Hollywood companies. If others don't care, Liu Lang does.
The great success of Spider-Man allowed them to see the potential of Marvel characters. The two movies grossed nearly 2 billion US dollars at the box office. This time, it was better, they directly took over Marvel. With so many characters, it is completely a big deal.
Treasure, now it seems that US$700 million is really not much, but there is nothing we can do about it. This acquisition came from a gambling agreement four years ago. This is all publicly disclosed information, and no one can find anything wrong with it.
And at that time, who knew that the "old guys" like Marvel would be able to make a comeback? In just four years, it became a hot topic. After all, Liu Lang's rejuvenation skills were so powerful that he could turn the dead into the living.
Of course, since I can't beat you, I will choose to join. No one can pretend to be a boss in the face of interests. Moreover, Shengtang Company is also an open company. We welcome any company to join based on the principle that everyone can make money together.
Nowadays, Disney, Paramount, Fox, and many entertainment companies have cooperative relationships with Shengtang. Basically, they want a share of every movie. Even if it is not much, the most is about 30%, and the majority is still
Shengtang Company.
But every movie is a big hit. For example, in the first Spider-Man movie, Disney bought the publicity rights and took 20% of the return on publicity, which made them earn nearly 100 million US dollars. The second movie was Fox’s turn.
It has made more than 100 million US dollars. This method of equal sharing of interests has made other companies willing to join the Shengtang alliance.
There is a widely circulated joke in Hollywood: Even if Jimmy makes a silent film, there will be a lot of people rushing to invest, because Jimmy himself can earn 500 million U.S. dollars at the box office.
Liu Lang used this method to find a large group of allies. The power of these allies is far beyond money. Without them, Shengtang Company would probably have a difficult time in the United States, because several senior executives of Shengtang
They are all Chinese. Even though Americans talk about equality everywhere, in fact they are just whitewashing themselves. How did Wan'an Company get "dismembered"? Isn't it because Wan'an is a Chinese?
When your company is booming, Americans will promote it as the American dream, but you are an outsider after all. When your company threatens local companies, sorry, you must eliminate this threat.
Liu Lang learned this lesson and "dragged everyone down". What you are dealing with is not me, but a large group of people. These people are not ordinary people, they are rich people and congressmen, they are all powerful people.
The Marvel world has begun, and this is an important task for Shengtang Company in the future. Of course, others also agree. After all, the success of Spider-Man has made everyone realize the huge potential of the Marvel image again.
The first is to separately establish Shengtang Pictures and Marvel Films. This is a department directly under the leadership of Shengtang's board of directors. A large number of manpower and project departments are deployed below. For example, fifty engineers were transferred from Industrial Light and Magic to establish the Marvel Special Effects Department, as well as animation production.
, model production and many other departments, everyone could see that Liu Lang was going to do something big.
Liu Lang's emphasis on movies made Lucas and other film veterans very happy. They had not seen Liu Lang so serious for a long time. However, some people were happy while others were dissatisfied. Ye Jinsheng was the one who took the lead in being dissatisfied.
The record industry has been in a bit of a slump in recent years. On the twelfth anniversary of its establishment, in the year 2001, the "Male God Group" officially disbanded after holding 30 tours in ten cities around the world, leaving only a series of
A record that makes people look up to.
There is also the group "Mei Shoujo", which has reduced its performances now and is planning to disband on the occasion of its tenth anniversary.
It can be said that the "male idol group" and the "destined girl" group are representatives of the pop culture of the 1990s, influencing the growth of two generations and becoming a benchmark symbol of world pop culture, but there is no such thing as a banquet. Today
They have passed their thirties, and those who take wives take wives and have children.
In fact, those singers in the early Shengtang Dynasty have gradually withdrawn from the music scene, and Liu Lang no longer writes songs for them. Even if he writes songs, the singers are no longer them.
Every era has its idols, and this is even more true in the Internet era. Netizens are mostly 19-year-olds. They need younger singers and fresher songs.
Liu Lang and Shengtang Company have realized this a long time ago. They started to transform a few years ago and signed many younger singers, such as "Britney". Liu Lang robbed her of the opportunity, and now they have to compensate.
, and several other singers such as Jay-Z were also discovered by Shengtang in the late 1990s and are now on their own.
