Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 156 A Crazy Act

Tang Jinshan is very happy that another project is underway.

In the past few days, David Heyman has been contacting him repeatedly.

It was still all about haggling.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hyman, I've already found someone more suitable than you."

"A better candidate than me? Impossible!"

David Heyman said.

No one knows England and Hollywood better than him; he's confident of that.

"That's none of your concern."

Tang Jinshan doesn't have time to deal with him right now.

"Who did you contact?"

David Hyman couldn't accept that he had missed out on such a great project.

"Kate Winslet, with her reputation, can do just as much as you can in England, can't she?"

"She knows absolutely nothing about production; handing it over to her will only result in terrible outcomes."

David Hyman felt a chill run down his spine.

He certainly understands the value of Kate Winslet's credentials.

"That's not a problem. As long as you have money, you can always find someone to help you."

Tang Jinshan has plenty of money; money can make the devil turn the millstone.

David Hyman was utterly heartbroken.

Of course he knew Tang Jinshan was rich.

This project is also based on Harry Potter, and countless people in England are eager to work for it.

Indeed, I don't need to do it myself.

No, I still have a chance.

Go find Kate Winslet now!

Tang Jinshan continued to be extremely busy.

Meanwhile, Chris Columbus is also starting to assemble his filming team.

-

Under his influence, they eventually brought in Stephen Clover, the original screenwriter of Harry Potter.

The lineup is almost complete.

There's also a package of Marvel superheroes.

After some haggling, the final price was set at 1850 million.

All payments will be made in cash.

Artisan Entertainment has absolutely no determination to compete.

In fact, it was later acquired by Master Studios, and none of the characters such as Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, and Black Panther were ever made into movies.

In 2005, all copyrights were returned to Marvel free of charge.

This is how Marvel started using characters as collateral for production funds.

Now, it no longer exists.

Tang Jinshan transferred the money on the day the contract was signed.

Marvel was so happy that they threw a party to celebrate.

They invited Tang Jinshan, Robert Shea, and others to come over.

Of course, there's also Drew Barrymore, the company's president.

She will interact with these high-ranking people more frequently in the future.

Now she's part of the capital market, no longer an ordinary actress who can be manipulated at will.

"Mr. Tang, it seems you are very interested in Marvel. I hope we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Marvel President Avi Arad said with great interest.

What Marvel needs most right now is money, and the continuous sale of copyrights is also to have funds to keep the company running.

Tang Jinshan was a very wealthy man who was always very generous with his money.

"I'd love to work with Marvel, and maybe in the future I'll even acquire Marvel."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

In fact, Avi Arad came from the toy company ToyBiz, and after the merger with Marvel, he also became the head of Marvel.

He is still a producer for X-Men.

X-Men will probably be released next year, at which time the value of Marvel's various superheroes and IPs will definitely be reassessed.

Therefore, Tang Jinshan was not joking at all.

Marvel's stock price is currently only around seven dollars, but that's much higher than the two dollars it was when it first went bankrupt and restructured.

Others, however, dismissed his statement, thinking he was just joking to lighten the mood.

For a Chinese man to want to acquire Marvel, it's not that easy.

Marvel currently owes hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Tang Jinshan saw Kevin Feige again.

However, he did not meet Stan Lee.

People in their seventies or eighties wouldn't come to this kind of party.

Before the end, Tang Jinshan and Drew Barrymore went back.

She's seen a lot tonight and is exceptionally enthusiastic.

He did his best to repay the boss's kindness in recognizing his talent.

Tang Jinshan was not polite at all. He could help make money and act as a prop. Where else could you find such a good deal?

Sony has also been in a tug-of-war recently.

After Robert Shea expressed strong determination and raised the price time and time again, they finally wavered.

They offered $4000 million plus film distribution rights and a 5% share of the box office revenue.

Robert Shea had no idea why Tang Jinshan was spending so much money to snatch the Spider-Man copyright.

This must be love to the core, right?

Young people are crazy, and fans are even crazier.

Tang Jinshan is definitely a huge Marvel fan!

Tang Jinshan could afford the $4000 million, but as for the issuance rights, he could only offer priority under the same conditions.

Forget about a 5% share of the box office; he doesn't have the habit of doing favors for others.

Ultimately, he increased the price by $1000 million, acquiring the Spider-Man rights for an astonishing $5000 million.

Everyone soon learned that the real buyer was him.

On the Sony side, Tang Jinshan's name has once again come into the spotlight for many people.

Previously, due to his various actions, the collaboration with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was cancelled.

As a result, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became a box office hit, becoming the highest-grossing foreign language film in North America.

The global box office is now approaching 300 million.

This actually benefited the new line.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that he was the one behind the scenes who bought the rights to "Spider-Man".

They felt cheated.

I just really can't figure out what he's doing.

With $5000 million plus the right to issue shares, they can't possibly lose.

Tang Jinshan is probably a huge Marvel fan, and he's rich and willful.

Immersed in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, they must want to prove themselves and make a name for themselves.

However, he was overthinking things; he was just an arrogant brat.

Is it so easy to break into Hollywood?

Even a powerhouse like Sony suffered countless hardships and lost a fortune before finally establishing itself in Hollywood.

Even if he shows any signs of trouble, we can crush him in the future!

Buying the copyright for $5000 million? What a fool!

Tang Jinshan's move not only alarmed Sony, but also baffled everyone else.

Sony hadn't even had time to fully enjoy the Spider-Man copyright before it was handed over to Tang Jinshan, who made a net profit of over 40 million!

What's more, there's the sure-fire way to make money: the right to issue the rights.

Sony made a killing this time!

Tang Jinshan must have gone mad!

Everyone knows that he just spent $1850 million to buy 15 characters from Marvel!

Or a permanent buyout!

This movement is extraordinary.

Tang Jinshan felt only excitement.

We've finally got our hands on this money tree!

I never thought this day would actually come!

Robert Shea was also quite straightforward; after handing over Spider-Man to Tang Jinshan, he then transferred Iron Man to him at the original price.

He only wants the right to issue the rights.

Even when developing superheroes, he first developed the already successful Blade series.

The first film received good reviews and performed very well at the box office last year, and a sequel was originally planned for this year.

Just like with Rush Hour, the result was that the actors made exorbitant demands, asking for increased salaries and profit sharing.

Fuck, why does he have to run into all this crap?

We'll never use these black guys as the main characters again!

But anger aside, money still needs to be earned.

It's so much more comfortable working with people like Tang Jinshan and Cheng Long!

Tang Jinshan, needless to say, is wealthy, generous, and doesn't mince words.

In order to make the sequel a reality, Jackie Chan even took the initiative to reduce his salary and profit sharing.

They're all good people!
