Heads Up Hollywood

On April 2, Marvel Entertainment dispatched a professional negotiating team, led by Chief Operating Officer Dan Buckley, to Twentieth Century Fox to discuss the return of some heroes with Tom Rothman.

Dunn didn't ask about it, he believed in Tom Rothman's IQ.

If he wants to avoid the major contradictions in the past and switch to cooperation, he must pay enough benefits, otherwise everything will be avoided!

Dunn's headache now is the candidate for the president of Marvel Studios.

At the beginning, he made a bold statement, saying that as long as he acquired Marvel, he would definitely improve the structure of Marvel Studios, instead of being an empty boy.

Now, Dunn Pictures borrowed 7 million dollars from Dunn to complete the acquisition, and he naturally wants to fulfill this promise.

Dunn's biggest secret weapon is the sunglasses system.

However, in this system, there are only three professional attributes of "producer", "director" and "actor", and there is no introduction to the attributes of management talents.

So for the selection of candidates, Dunn can only rely on his connections, headhunters and some memories of foresight.

There is no doubt that the president of Marvel Studios must be a filmmaker by birth.

Several people quickly appeared in Dunn's mind - Grant Hill, David Heyman, Lionel Wigram, Rick McCollum.

Grant Hill, the producer of "Titanic", has a very pleasant cooperation with Dunn. The advantage is strong ability and strong relationship, the disadvantage is that he has no management experience, and he is Bill McNick's confidant, so it is not easy to pry into a corner.

David Heyman is helping Dunn acquire the copyright of the entire set of "Harry Potter" books. He has unique vision, excellent management, and is good at public relations. However, he has established his own production company Shengri Pictures in the UK, and will come to give Dunn working part-time?

Lionel Wigram, the producer of Warner Bros., is also a recommender of "Harry Potter", and his vision and production ability have passed the test. And he is a cartoonist who has created excellent comics like "Sherlock Holmes". He is a talent who combines comics and movies, and is very suitable for the position of president of Marvel Studios.

Rick McCollum, producer of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Phantom Men", Tom Rothman's confidant, has a pleasant cooperation with Dunn, rich in imagination, good at science fiction films, and has the integrity of filmmakers. Disadvantages, seniority, old age, difficult to control.

Dunn pondered for a long time, then shook his head and rejected Lionel Wigram.

It is foreseeable that because of Dunn's selfishness, Warner will be very dissatisfied with the "Harry Potter" project. If you pry the corners like this, will Warner be **** off?

Dunn had some headaches, so he simply put on his sunglasses and searched for people in other positions.

Mainly the production department and the screenwriter department.

With the gradual expansion of Dunn Pictures, many departments need to be filled in by manpower, so Dunn recorded many names and intends to really expand the production departments of Dunn Pictures and Marvel Pictures.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar - Nina Jacobson on the "81" value of the production capacity.

Dunn seemed to remember something, and quickly clicked on this person's value.

No director ability, no actor ability, mainly because of the producer's attributes—

Production 72, market judgment 91, literary aesthetics 67, project evaluation 89, screenwriting 48, casting 93, control 87, management 88 (this is studio management, not company management), public relations 82...

She didn't have too conspicuous values, so Tang En didn't find it when he was selecting talents.

However, the team that Tang En had previously selected were all talents with serious "bias", individual attributes and abilities were against the sky, and their comprehensive abilities were extremely poor, so it was impossible to be alone.

However, this Nina Jacobson is different. She does not have the attributes of the sky, but has a strong comprehensive strength, and is an excellent producer who can dominate one side.

More importantly, this name is like thunder!

She is one of the few female bosses in Hollywood!

Basically one of five female bosses.

The first, the current Paramount boss Shirley Lansing;

The second is Amy Pascal, the current president of Columbia Pictures, who will be the second head of Sony Entertainment in the future;

The third is Gail Borman, the current president of Borman Digital Media, and the future president of Paramount, who also switched to the president of Fox Broadcasting Corporation;

The fourth place is this Nina Jacobson!

The fifth highest-grossing female producer is Kathleen Kennedy, the future president of Lucasfilm.

For Nina Jacobson, the most profound memory is that in 2007, she was ousted from the position of president of Disney's production department and chairman of Bauwick Group.

Because she had a serious disagreement with Nate Shyamalan, which caused Nate Shyamalan to leave Disney with his original project, Banshee, to work with Warner.

Disappointed at losing the opportunity to work with such a great director, Disney fired Nina Jacobson.

Of course, there is also the reason that she is pregnant and expecting to give birth and has a long vacation.

Ironically, Banshee, which was disliked by Nina Jacobson and produced by Warner Bros., failed miserably at the box office!

After leaving Disney, Nina Jacobson founded her own production company, and then launched the famous movie series "The Hunger Games".

Before that, she helped Disney launch "The Sixth Sense", "Glorious Years", "Princess Diaries", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and other box office and word-of-mouth blockbusters.

Because of these achievements, Nina Jacobson won the "Crystal Award" for female filmmakers, and in 2005 was listed on the "Top 100 Most Powerful Women in the World" list.

Dunn didn't know Nina Jacobson's current job position, so he called the secretary and immediately went to check her information.

That afternoon, Reese Witherspoon brought back the results.

Nina Jacobson, born in 1965. In 1987, graduated from the famous Brown University. After graduating, he worked in Yinxiang Pictures, Macdonald Pictures, and then successfully entered Universal Pictures, one of the six major film companies, as the deputy production director.

During her time at Universal Pictures, she supervised and produced many films such as "Twelve Monkeys" and "Youth and Madness".

Later, she jumped to DreamWorks and became the director of the film production department of DreamWorks, where she developed the "Crisis" project.

Because of the conflict with Spielberg and others, and the failure of the movie "Strategic Killer", she left DreamWorks last year and joined Disney, her position was reduced, and she was mainly responsible for script supervision.

Job attributes, equivalent to Andrew O'Hare, a market analyst at Dunn Pictures.

However, compared to Dunn's trust in Andrew, Nina Jacobson, who has just joined Disney for less than a year, must have had a difficult time at work.

After Tang En read her profile, her heart surged, and she immediately became excited.

"Give charcoal in the snow, brother likes to send charcoal in the snow!"

Dunn is almost certain that as long as he sends out an invitation to be the president of Marvel Studios, Nina Jacobson will agree without hesitation!

The position Disney gave her is too low.

Even if Marvel Studios is just an empty shell now, having a golden signboard like Tang En means unlimited potential.

Dunn called Reese Witherspoon back and handed her a list, "Call these people for an interview right away."

Reese looked at the recruitment list of more than a dozen people above, and she felt a little dizzy. Where did this big boss get so much confidence? You don't even need an interview, just recruit directly and enter the probationary period?

Tang En ignored her hesitation and handed her another note, "I immediately send an invitation to these two people in the name of Tang En Pictures and Marvel Pictures."

Reese glanced at Dunn in surprise, and saw two names written on the note—

"Nina Jacobson, president of Marvel Studios."

"Kevin Feige, assistant to the president of Marvel Studios."

"Don, isn't this too hasty?"

Tang En waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know it!"

…

The next day, Dunn had two simple and lively talks with Nina Jacobson and Kevin Feige.

Subsequently, Marvel Pictures paid Disney $250,000 in liquidated damages and hired 34-year-old female producer Nina Jacobson as the president of Marvel Pictures.

Hired 26-year-old Kevin Feige as assistant to the president and assistant producer to assist Nina Jacobson in the management of the company and the production of Marvel movies. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

At the same time, there is good news from Marvel Entertainment.

The negotiation team led by Dan Barkley and 20th Century Fox negotiated very smoothly. Tom Rothman facilitated the negotiation with the greatest sincerity.

Marvel Entertainment has recovered the copyrights of three superheroes, Deadpool, Daredevil, and Erica for a total of $300,000.

And also reached some cooperation.

Because the story of Deadpool involves many "X-Men" characters, Fox agreed to share the copyright of Deadpool's main teammate "Wireline" with Marvel Entertainment, but was never allowed to mention his identity as an X-Men.

It's like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver can appear in the Avengers without mentioning that their father is Magneto.

Although only three and a half hero copyrights were recovered, it was enough to make Dunn excited.

Needless to say, Deadpool is the most charismatic anti-hero, and his humble character will bring a different kind of vitality to the huge Marvel universe built by Dunn in the future.

As for Daredevil...

This is related to another major industrial layout of Dunn.

Now, Marvel has taken back most of the superhero copyrights, and only "X-Men" is left out.

The situation in which Sony, Fox, and Marvel faced off against each other like in the previous life no longer occurs.

Since that's the case, the plate that once belonged to Sony, Tang En naturally has to grab it very rudely, by the way... grab the living space of DC comics.

Daredevil, carrying a glorious and important mission.

Marvel movies will definitely take off.

Moreover, under Tang En's leadership, he will definitely be more brilliant, dazzling, and even more... occupy Hollywood than his previous life!
