Chapter 422: Can't take the usual path

The two oncoming people are obviously a couple. Charlize Theron needless to say, this is the heroine Ronan personally finalized for the film. Not only did they know each other, but also talked about it once when signing the contract.
The other man is a bit strange.
"Hi, Sally." Will Smith took the initiative to greet: "Didn't go back?"
Charlize Theron's voice was a little hoarse: "It's rare to get off work early today, and the crew here is temporarily blocked, so I can enjoy this scenery."
She looked at Ronan: "Hello, Mr. Anderson."
Ronan shook her hand: "Call me Ronan."
Charlize Theron smiled and quickly introduced the man next to him: "This is my boyfriend Stuart Townsend."
Ronan shook his hand: "It's nice to meet you."
Stuart Townsend said quickly: "Me too."
Ronan is quite familiar with the former Charlize Theron, this famous South African diamond. He just remembered it after a little memory. Stuart Townsend seemed to be the one who had talked with Charlize Theron for nearly ten years. Boyfriend of the year.
Of course, like most famous actresses in Hollywood, Charlize Theron has many ex-boyfriends.
Ronan still remembers that in the last period of time, there were rumors on the Internet that Charlize Theron and the famous scumbag Brad Pitt came together and even got engaged, and it was Charlize who brought the red line for the two. -Theron’s ex-boyfriend Sean Penn.
Although it is gossip circulated on the Internet, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish between true and false, but it is enough to illustrate the chaos of Hollywood's emotional world.
Having said that, Charlize Theron seems to like scumbags very much.
People like Sean Penn and Stewart Townsend are not well-known.
"When I first came, I heard you were talking about Oscars?" Charlize Theron asked with a smile.
Will Smith shrugged slightly and said half-jokingly: "We are discussing how to get a few Oscars."
Charlize Theron asked with concern: "Is this "The Enemy of the People"?"
Ronan will not give people unrealistic fantasy, shook his head and said, "No, it's another project."
Will Smith said: "If you want to get an Oscar, you still have to make a realistic biopic." He is very familiar with Charlize Theron, and said: "Sally, like you, and actors like me, think To get the Oscar for performance, you can’t go the usual way."
Charlize Theron smiled and said, "Oscar is too far away from me."
Looking back now, I shouldn’t have dyed my hair blonde.
Stewart Townsend said: "Sally, even without an Oscar, you are the best."
This made Charlize Theron quite useful, and he was very happy with a smile.
Ronan shook his head secretly, it seems that these two people are true love now.
To be precise, the two people are not much different in status and fame, and naturally there will be no problems getting along with each other. When the women are strong and the men are weak, perhaps inexplicable self-esteem will come out to cause trouble.
By the way, it seems that Stewart Townsend also played a very important role in the movie "Avengers from Heaven."
The former Stewart Townsend never really got up, and it is estimated that it may be directly related to the failure of this film.
"It seems that I'm looking for a suitable film for Oscar." Charles Theron sounded like a joke.
Ronan knew that she should be serious.
Although Charlize Theron's acting skills are not very good, the key to whether or not he wins the Oscar performance award is not his acting skills.
Like the rubber man Christian Bale, Charlize Theron is a female version of the balloon guy. He gets a few jins in weight and then loses weight. He has done it once or twice.
And similar to the Oscar queens, Charlize Theron is a veritable unrestrained faction on the screen. From the earliest he entered Hollywood to the later, he was the one who dared to escape.
People who often watch Charlize Theron films can even tell that there are several moles on the chest of the South African diamond.
The four people chatted for a while by the river. The crew had already cleaned up the temporary set, and returned to the car and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
The next day, Ronan went to Marvel Comics and personally visited Avi Arad.
Although "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are selling well online and offline, Marvel can get a small share of them, but for the current situation of Marvel Comics, it has not produced an effective change.
The most valuable son, Marvel comics sold out in the 1990s.
The value difference is a lot, but the godsons who are somewhat famous are directly packaged by Ronan and Shahai Entertainment.
The rest are characters whose uncles don't care about their grandmothers, even if it's "Spider-Man", which is a huge hit, with a global box office of $800 million, no one cares about it.
Even mortgages to banks and financial institutions have been dismissed for lack of value.
"Can we discuss things?"
In the office, Avi-Allard said to Ronan very seriously: "It is good for both of us."
Ronan said politely: "Avi, we are old friends, just say it."
Avi Allard tentatively said: "Ronan, the board of directors has been pressing me recently to buy back the copyright of the superheroes sold before."
Hearing this, Ronan immediately guessed what Avi-Allard was about to say.
Sure enough, Avi-Allard took a look at him and said, "Can Marvel buy back the superhero copyright that it sold to you before?"
He deliberately emphasized his tone: "Marvel can add 10% to the original transaction price..."
Ronan was not moved at all.
Avi-Allard seemed to see this and temporarily increased the bargaining chip: "Add another 15%!"
Marvel Comics talked to the copyright owner about copyrights such as the Hulk and Fantastic Four before, but the film adaptations of Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox are in progress, and it is impossible to recover the copyright.
The copyright of the first-line sons could not be taken back, so the eyes naturally fell on the second-line godsons.
Shahai Entertainment has packaged more than 30 superhero characters and the copyrights of other characters that match them at one time, almost sweeping away the copyrights of the more famous characters in Marvel comics. Don't mention the adaptations of the remaining small fish and shrimps. No one cares about the copyright.
Like a superhero adaptation of a movie, the purchaser is willing to spend a lot of money, but what you want is the popularity and fan base of the original.
Without the great fame created by comics, could the "Spider-Man" movie be as popular as it is today?
"The contract we signed at the beginning does not include the repurchase clause." Ronan directly refused: "Shahai Entertainment is also planning a film adaptation."
Avi-Allard said: "You can't say that. Ronan, think about it, the film adaptation is very risky, and no one can guarantee success. As for the repurchase, you don't need to do anything, and you don't need to bear any risks. As long as a repurchase contract is signed, the original investment can bring in 15% of the profit, which is huge profits!"
Ronan shook his head: "I am the most trustworthy person, and I have to abide by the contract. And I don't like to give up halfway, and everyone knows that Marvel comics are not in good condition. Therefore, the risk is to be left to Sha Sea entertainment."
Avi-Allard felt that he had a thick skin when he proposed the repurchase, but Ronan did not expect Ronan to speak so grandly.
"We can discuss the repurchase price." Avi Allard did not give up. Even if Ronan does not come to him today, he will go to Los Angeles to talk with Shahai Entertainment after Christmas: "Ronan, you think again. good or not?"
Ronan will certainly not consider buying back this kind of thing, unless Marvel Comics throws out tens of billions of dollars, but now the market value of Marvel Comics is only more than 500 million US dollars, and they can't get so much money after selling it.
After the box office explosion of "Spider-Man" in May of this year, the share price of Marvel Comics skyrocketed, but within a dozen days it began to fall. Because of the constant media reports, Marvel Comics sold its somewhat famous son and daughter... …
Ronan thought for a while and said, "Avi, we can actually establish closer cooperation."
Avi-Allard didn't understand Ronan's meaning, and asked, "How to cooperate?"
Now he regrets selling the copyrights of more than 30 superheroes, but looking back, how can he survive if he doesn't sell the copyrights based on Marvel's situation at the time?
Ronan was also a temptation, deliberately asking: "How about adding Marvel Comics to Relativity Entertainment?"
"What?" Avi Allard couldn't believe it. "No, Ronan? You mean buying Marvel Comics?"
Ronan seemed to be very casual and said: "This is just a proposal, and it is also conducive to further cooperation between our two parties. Relativity Entertainment can provide great added value to the superheroes of Marvel Comics~EbookFREE.me~From "Spiderman" "It is not difficult to see in the movie that the income of a superhero movie with a big box office is more than ten times higher than that of simple comics and surroundings. Movies are the best channel for superheroes to realize their value."
Avi-Allard didn't pay attention to Ronan's words at all, and said lightly: "Marvel Comics is one of the two largest comic companies in the United States."
Ronan could hear that the Marvel Comics' market value of more than half a billion dollars makes Avi Allard somewhat self-sufficient.
"But you guys, Marvel has been losing money every year since the mid-to-late 1990s." Ronan said without concealment: "If it hadn't sold a lot of copyright, Marvel comics wouldn't stick to it now, right?"
Avi-Allard smiled and said, "Marvel is getting better."
Ronan didn't insist anymore, it was just a test, and after chatting for a while, he offered to leave.
After Ronan was sent away, Avi-Allard suddenly realized one thing. What Ronan said was a temporary motive? If not?
He thought of a possibility. If Ronan had planned to acquire Marvel long ago, he would first buy the copyrights of more than 30 superheroes...
The actual situation of Marvel is here. The copyrights of some famous superheroes are all sold. It is difficult for Marvel comics to use the trend of superhero movies to maximize profits, and it will also miss the opportunity to rise again.
It seems that the road ahead of Marvel seems to be very flat, but the roadbed under the road has all been dug away!
Ronan left Marvel and called Lindsay Bill to ask about the interview.
"We talked a few times and didn't go too deep. Don't worry about this kind of thing." Lindsay Bill said on the phone: "To gain her trust, we must step by step. Not bad, she will invite me to her house tomorrow. "
