unofficial hollywood life

Unless she ran to the UK to develop, but this is impossible.

It has been almost 100 years since the Morgan family left the UK. Even though there are some relatives who have lost their roots in the UK, they have been far away from this island hanging on the edge of Europe.And Diana, who is a member of Hollywood, would not give up the film center of the world and go to the UK, a country where the film industry has declined, to develop her own career. That would be too stupid.

So these hats are also collected, and there is really no chance to use them.

"It's okay, you can put on a beautiful dress and these equally beautiful hats and let me take pictures of you." Tom reassured her.

Diana has always been a pretty girl. Except she doesn't like to smear her face, she is keen on everything that makes her look more radiant, such as those beautiful clothes and jewelry.Even if she doesn't need some things at all, she will still spend money to buy them back - just like many ordinary girls.

The same is true of the hats she bought, basically there is no appearance.However, Mr. Cruise felt that he should have the self-consciousness as a boyfriend, and use the camera to save the most beautiful appearance of his girlfriend.

"Tom, you know what, you really are the best boyfriend in the world." Diana looked into those green eyes and felt her heart melt.

The tabloids must be jealous of Tom, that's why they keep slandering him for being so boring and rigid!

Diana put her arms around her boyfriend's neck, biting his lips and thinking.

"So are you still watching the next show?" Tom asked after finishing a hot kiss, stroking her moist lips with his fingers.

He kind of understood now why those kiss-color lipsticks were selling so well.

While some fashion shows have indeed hit Diana, there have also been others that have shrunk her wallet, and not just in general.

Because the clothes on a certain fashion show reminded her of one thing.Looking at the one-piece black leather jacket, she suddenly remembered a certain series of movies. It seems that they haven't been sold yet?So after returning to Los Angeles, I called the operator of my production company.

Speaking of the company's operating officer, I have to say that the Flamingo Company, which was just a shell at the beginning, found a shortage of manpower after planning to get involved in film production. As a result, Diana had to acquire a small-scale production company. Big, but at least a well-staffed studio thing.Otherwise, if she was really busy with the production of "Good Night, Hudson" by herself, she would probably vomit blood and die. David Heyman still has his own team, such as a bare-handed commander, Also too devastating.

Fortunately, after that small company was merged into Diana's Flamingo company, the operating officer at that time did not leave, but continued to serve as the operating officer of Flamingo.Unlike the boss who sold the company, Ms. Annette really climbed from the bottom to reach her current position.

"I still have car and house loans to pay, so why not?" This is how the woman responded to her reasons for not leaving her job.

"What's more, we just changed a boss, the position has not changed, and the salary has not been cut. Isn't a stable life what we are after?"

These days, less than four years have passed since the last economic crisis, and a job with a stable income is not so easy to find.

Now, the woman sat across from Diana, reporting her latest findings.

"According to your information, I went to inquire about the recent situation of Marvel Comics. The year before last, Ron Perelman sold the Hulk, Iron Man, and Namor to Universal Pictures, and now he is planning to sell the comics in his hand. I don’t know which one you want?” Annette put the folder in her hand on the table and gestured to Diana.

The things about Marvel Comics are not a secret. After being acquired by Ron Perelman's New World Films in 1986, it was transferred to himself due to debt problems, and then after being operated by the Wall Street tycoon Listed in 1991.It's a pity that the listing did not bring good luck to this comic company, but instead fell into a bad situation.The departure of the backbone cartoonists and the blind expansion made Marvel comics heavily in debt. A large number of acquired companies did not make it an empire, but the economic situation worsened.This is not a big deal, because what is even more disturbing to the fans of the surprise is that the owner of this company has no intention of developing the company at all, he just wants to make quick money.

Ron Perleman, a typical Wall Street capitalist, is best at splitting and selling a complete business after a hostile takeover. This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing.The management and life and death of Marvel comics are not taken seriously by him. In the eyes of this wolf of Wall Street, money is the most important thing, and the Marvel comics that cannot make money for him have only one value left, that is, the future Those well-known heroes were sold to get their funds back.

Under his operation, many comic characters have been sold, and Universal is the biggest buyer among them.And now, he is continuing to sell other roles to other companies, trying to squeeze out the final value of this company.

What Diana asked Annette to investigate was how many characters he wanted to sell but hadn't sold yet.

"Which companies does he have contact with now?" Diana didn't answer this question directly, but asked another question instead.

Always know who your opponent is.

For the characters in Marvel comics, she is not actually a fan, she can only be said to be watching the fun.But now that she has the opportunity to win the copyright of some of the characters, she is still very interested. For example, she really wants to know if she really gets the copyright of some characters from Marvel Comics. The Butterfly Effect?

This feeling is as if a cat saw a big ball of wool and couldn't control its urge to mess with it.

And this is an excellent investment project. How much did Disney spend to buy back those sold characters?If she can really win the copyright of the character she is fancying now, it will be a bargain.She didn't think that the copyright in her hand could be sold for 520 billion in the future. After all, it contains the film library of an entire production company, but even if it is less, it is still possible to increase the value by a hundred times, even if the development is good. , if Marvel Comics develops like the later generations, this number may be increased tenfold.

Such a good deal, it's fine if you don't know it, how can you let it go if you know it?

"Many, not only Universal, but also Sony, [-]th Century Fox, Paramount, New Line, MGM... and a bunch of other companies. From the top major studios to some He has released news about small production companies, and now it is basically a situation of selling for money." Speaking of the behavior of this Wall Street tycoon, Annette was also dumbfounded.

Is this simply disregarding the life and death of the company, and making the last fortune before it is completely dead?

"I'm afraid that apart from Warner Bros., which owns DC Comics, he has been in contact with all the top companies in Hollywood. Oh, by the way, Disney is also excluded. You know their situation." It seems that Diana is worried about The situation is not well understood, Annette added.

Warner Bros. has made a lot of money on movies with Superman and Batman, but none of the character adaptation rights sold by Marvel Comics have reached the expected level.Compared with DC's superheroes, Marvel's superheroes can be calm for a while, not even a splash.Under such circumstances, Ron Perelman would not seek humiliation and come to the door.As for Disney, let alone this company, this company is now in the process of developing its main business - during the period of family carnival movies, heavy-tasting things like Marvel comics are really not in their consideration.Even its subsidiaries, after seeing the market situation in recent years, are unlikely to buy a bunch of characters that they can't use.

So Mr. Perelman didn't even bother to find someone to talk about cooperation.

So... Diana nodded.

"If possible, take the copyright of the entire X-Men series and the entire Spider-Man series." She gave an instruction.

She just sold the Hulk and Iron Man, so it seems that it is not too late for her to enter the scene?

"But this may require millions of funds, or even tens of millions..." Annette said hesitantly.

Was her boss sure she knew what she was doing?Is it worth it to use such a huge amount of money to buy a bunch of comic characters who don't know if they can make money from filming?

"Don't worry about the funds. The proceeds from "Good Night, Hudson" will arrive in your account one after another. Even if you don't have enough time, you can use the proceeds to get a loan from the bank..." Diana blinked at Annette , said with a smile.

When a film company is profitable, it has this kind of advantage. With the profit contract, it can borrow enough funds from the bank to make the next investment. This money is very suitable for purchasing copyrights. At the very least, it can avoid To be taken advantage of by that old fox Ron Perelman.

This is much better than buying the copyright with personal funds. If she negotiates the deal herself, Diana has no doubt that the Wall Street jackal who later made the acquisition of Stan Lee and Michael Jackson fail will hit her hard!

So professional things should be done by professionals, the image of an ambitious and expansive young girl is very suitable for her~
