"But I have to make a statement in advance. You have to be clear about one thing, that is, my influence in the film industry is very great."
"If you adapt your comic characters into movies, it will not only bring popularity to the comic characters, but also increase the sales of the comics."
"It's a great opportunity for a win-win situation, and it's good for everyone."
"And I just talked to your old rival, Weiman, and I know the current state of the comics market."
When everyone heard this, they were surprised.
"We need to talk."
Ye Heng nodded.
Then the top management of BC got together to discuss.
Ten minutes later, the senior management looked at Ye Heng and seemed to have made a decision.
"Director Ye Heng, we know your status in the film industry, and we also know that this is indeed a good opportunity for a win-win situation."
"So, the best price we can offer is $3 million."
Hearing the price, Ye Heng's face immediately burst into a smile.
3 million, which is much less than the 10 billion he thought at the beginning.
"Okay, then 3 million."
With that said, Ye Heng asked someone to bring the contract.
"By the way, before signing the contract, I have to tell you something."
Everyone looked at Ye Heng, not knowing what he was going to say.
"The copyright of the movie belongs to me and our company, but it is only the copyright of this movie."
"You can still give the rights to this superhero to someone else, but if they want to be a sequel to my movie, they need our permission."
"Similarly, if we run out of 100 shots, we need your permission to do a follow-up to this movie."
"What do you think?"
After listening to Ye Heng's words, everyone nodded.
That's pretty fair.
Chapter 294 I Can't Draw Well
Not long after, everyone signed the contract.
"We will transfer the money to you immediately."
When the senior management of BC heard this, they immediately shook their heads.
"Director Ye, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Ye Heng nodded, "Let's talk."
"Well, we want to invest in your film."
Ye Heng couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, but then he laughed.
It seems that the top management of BC is quite smart.
"No problem, we can accept up to 50% of the investment for each movie, that is to say, the money you can receive in the end is almost the same as us."
Hearing this, BC executives immediately showed a smile all over their faces.
"But I have one additional request."
The BC executive nodded immediately, "Please tell me."
"If BC wants to finance my film, they have to be an independent company."
"Independent company?" BC executives froze for a moment, as if they didn't understand what Ye Heng meant.
"To put it simply, you want to take full control of your own company and not be acquired by others."
Hearing this, the top management of BC froze for a moment, but finally nodded.
"No problem, we agree!"
……
A week later, the acquisition was completely completed, and New Era also issued a statement on the acquisition of Weiman.
As soon as the news came out, the entire beautiful country was shocked instantly.
"Damn it! Dao Ye's company bought Weiman! What happened?"
"Is it going to adapt their comics into a movie?"
"Wei Manga produced a lot of bad books before. I hope that after changing to a new boss, we can produce more good works."
And when the netizens were still discussing the New Era's acquisition of Weiman, a piece of news shocked everyone again.
"New Era Company reached an agreement with BC to grant New Era Company the right to adapt 100 films."
As soon as this news came out, fry the pot again.
"Damn! I just bought Weiman, and now I have the right to adapt 100 films from BC. The new era is crazy!"
"If you don't understand, just ask, why didn't Director Ye just buy BC? I remember that Director Ye was very rich in the new era."
"Buy them all? Do you think our beautiful country's anti-monopoly law is vegetarian?"
"Don't talk about that, I just want to know if I can see "Spiderman vs. Batman"!"
……
And not long after these news broke out in turn, Ye Heng asked the company to release the news that he would adapt the specific name of the comic.
In addition, he sent the already written script of "Constantine" to John and BC executives respectively.
Although they want to invest in their own movie, before investing, they should still read the script, and then let them decide whether to invest in this movie.
Then news of Ye Heng's adaptation of "Constantine" also appeared in front of people.
Constantine can also be regarded as a relatively well-known BC character, but compared to the two pillars of the BC family, Batman and Superman, it is obviously not enough.
Many BC fans are a little disappointed, because they hope to see Batman or Superman live-action movies.
BC also stated that Ye Heng can directly adapt Batman or Superman, and these two works have a higher fan base.
But Ye Heng's script has been written and people have been invited, so it's hard for them to say anything more.
And just when people were shocked by these two news, Ye Heng had already started filming another movie somewhere in Los Angeles.
"action!"
Following Ye Heng's order, as the camera zoomed out, a man in a red shirt appeared on the screen.
"I can not make it."
"Go ahead."
He was facing the camera right now, looking straight ahead, and in front of him was a pile of cosmetics.
"You can't give up, sir!"
"Even if I break my leg, I still have to climb up the mountain."
"You're crazy, you know that?"
"Come on, let's talk about something new."
"Well, at least promise me one thing, if I die in the middle of the journey, you can eat me as food."
"It's disgusting."
"Damn it, eat me. This is an order, did you hear me?"
"Is it okay to eat only the belly?"
"Do I have a cute belly?"
"A little bit."
"Truman, I'm going to be late."
A female voice came, interrupting the man's soliloquy, and he turned his head to look out of the camera.
"Okay!" He replied loudly, and after finishing speaking, he turned his gaze back, took a long breath, got up and left.
In the next shot, Truman walked out of the room and greeted everyone.
"Good morning."
The camera turned to focus on a family of three, and a woman responded to him, "Good morning."
"Good morning." The little girl in the woman's arms also said.
He was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, and looked at them again.
"Oh, maybe we won't see you later."
"Then let's wish good afternoon and good night by the way."
After speaking, he tilted his head and smiled.
……
When the day's filming was over, Ye Heng was about to pack up and go back, but suddenly received a call from Garvey.
"Hey Garvey, what's up?"
"Well, teacher, how should we arrange Weiman here?"
"How to arrange what?"
"The painters."
"Just let them do their own work." Ye Heng replied.
He doesn't know much about comics, and he doesn't want to get involved too much.
"But, what they drew feels a bit..."
Ye Heng sighed helplessly when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll be right back, just wait for me."
An hour later, Ye Heng arrived at Weiman's studio.
At this time, the studio seemed extremely empty, because many painters and screenwriters had already fled because of Weiman's arrears of wages.
"Teacher, this is their cartoon."
Garvey handed Ye Heng a cartoon that had not yet been finalized.
Ye Heng casually flipped through two pages, but couldn't help frowning.
There must be nothing to say about the painters, this is the plot.
Although the comics industry in this world is not as good as in the previous life, it is definitely not as bad as the movies.
At best, the comics industry is developing slowly, but there are still many good works, even in-depth works.
Why does Ye Heng feel so bad just looking at it?
At this time, a painter on the side slowly stood up.
"I'm sorry Director Ye, but, but we can't help it. We also want to draw a good plot, but we have no way to draw a good plot."
Ye Heng was taken aback when he heard this.
What the hell?What do you mean by not being able to draw a good plot?
Chapter 295 Five Thoughts
"Weiman experienced some twists and turns before. At that time, we couldn't pay wages, so we drew a bunch of low-quality comics."
"Although the funding gap has been filled temporarily, the plot has completely collapsed."
"Now we don't know how to continue that broken plot."
