Jeff Bicks said: "I object, can you see clearly? Christmas Chen asked not only for the trilogy, but will he forget about it after helping Warner finish the top-notch trilogy? The copyright is 50%, but the dominance belongs to the matrix. What he asked was to share Batman's copyright with Warner forever."

Barry Meyer said: "But we got a chance, the trilogy has a $2 billion box office, and we are willing to sign a contract, which is almost another "The Matrix" series. Don't forget how much benefits the Matrix has brought only 30% of the copyright."

Dick Parsons nodded again, this time he agreed with Barry Mayer's words and said: "This opportunity is very important and can help us revitalize Batman, even DC."

Time Warner is a dictatorial management, and he has always been responsible for the majority of the film business. Even Warner Bros. CYO will only be responsible for Warner Bros. TV production, Warner Bros. animation production, Warner family video, Warner Bros. Games, Warner TV Network, DC Comics and CW TV Network.

His statement basically determined the style of the meeting.

Suddenly, a voice suggested, "Why don't we acquire the matrix? Completely incorporate the matrix into Warner."

This proposal instantly changed everyone's attention and became active in the conference room again.

"Matrix is ​​just a film company that is not listed, and it still has some business in Asia." "Chen Tian won't sell Matrix, right?" "Then you have to try it out, no one can fight alone in Hollywood." "Maybe you can give it a try..."

...

The next day, the front page of the entertainment page of Time Warner's company "New York Times" was given to two men with "unlimited love". The old and young people on the picture were so cool. The eyes were showing off, they competed for each other, and they seemed to be smiling. It was a meeting between an old fox and a little fox. But the content behind the picture seemed to be more concerned: "There has new changes in the Marvel acquisition case. Christmas Chen was dissatisfied with Marvel's price increase, so he turned to DC company!"

"Latest news, Christmas Chen officially takes over Gotham Town, and Batman ushers in a new life!" - Los Angeles Times

As soon as this news came out, many geeks were excited. Since "Batman and Robin", this series has not released new products for a long time. If Christmas Chen is willing to take over Gotham Town, that would be great news.

Some fans are also worried about Chen Tian. "Batman and Robin" is simply terrible, and Chen should not capsize in the gutter of Christmas.

Batman fans feel it is abrupt and very excited. Christmas Chen wants to take over Batman, so the movie will definitely not be bad. It is estimated that wave after wave of big scenes will take place in Gotham Town. They can't wait to see the new Batman, but they are just worried that Batman will be played by Chen Tiandu.

Seeing the reaction from the outside world, Warner was even more confident. Look, even movie fans are looking forward to him directing Batman, so what else can hesitate about?

Warner Bros. spokesman Goer Douglas was very happy to tell the media: "Yes, the matrix will work with Warner to develop a new Batman story. All negotiations are coming to an end. And this time, Christmas Chen will be fully manipulated, and he promises to bring Warner a super Batman. Batman is surpassing all previous heroes and creating a big box office. Of course, Warner will also pay half of the copyright, but it will allow Batman to return to the big screen. We all hope very much."

The reporter urgently asked about the details of the contract and what movie fans are most worried about, Chen Tiandu starring Batman.

Goer denied this concern, "We talked about this issue. He said that he would not be able to star in the role and would concentrate on directing, not because of his acting skills but because of his temperament. Of course, if he is willing to star in the role, we will support it."

Then he pretended to be a mistake and threw out the inside story of Chen Tiandu's "bold words for 2 billion box office" without hesitation, "making three big dramas for Warner", which immediately caused an uproar in the media.

There were many discussions outside, saying that Chen Tian was becoming more and more arrogant, but many people also believed that he would create miracles because he was born to be a person who kept creating miracles.

Some media also carefully analyzed the entire acquisition case, and concluded that "the early stage seemed to be a big victory in the matrix, because Chen Tian couldn't make a point, so he got half of the film copyright of Batman in advance. Later, the pressure was huge, and the box office of 2 billion in the three-part was not that easy. If the bet failed, he would make three movies at Warner..."

The Wall Street Journal reported: "I have to say that Warner was conquered by the huge profits brought by the Matrix, or that Christmas Chen's clever mouth made them fascinated and had confidence in Christmas Chen. But no matter how you look at this agreement, Chen Tian was unscathed. Even if he failed, he could still make movies. In three movies, he was the biggest winner."

"Chicago Tribune": "Marvel was abandoned, the matrix has stopped negotiating, and Marvel's stock price fell 10% that day. Disney was also caught in an internal tug-of-war. There are considerable management teams who do not want to acquire Marvel with a 'bad image', believing that it is very different from Disney's image, and it seems that they just mentioned it casually. According to a senior executive who did not want to be named: Acquiring Marvel is better than acquiring DC. Why do we Marvel buy things that even Christmas Chen doesn't like... As a result, Marvel offended the matrix and did not welcome Disney. It was a joyful ending."

Aviarard was constantly asked about the acquisition by reporters, and it seemed that he had labeled him as greedy, which was really disappointed. There were also dissatisfaction within the company.

Most employees do not have shares, so they naturally hope that Marvel will get better and better. With the injection of foreign health funds, it is an opportunity for Marvel to develop. Whether it is matrix or Disney, they don’t care.

But now, their rhythm is not well controlled, and the delay of the feed has driven the matrix to the mortal enemy DC. Disney on the other side is not sure that they need them, and they have become abandoned!!!

In this case, the responsibility is naturally in the leadership, and Avi Arad's pressure doubles.

After Chen Tiandu and Warner Brothers officially signed this "high gambling agreement", they finally couldn't help but call Chen Tiandu. "Chen. I'm very sorry for what happened before. Do you still want to acquire Marvel now?"

Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "Of course, my heart for Marvel remains unchanged from beginning to end. Do you need to meet me? I just have time."

...

Matrix finally reached an agreement with Marvel. On January 15, Matrix began to buy Marvel stocks in large quantities and acquired 20% of its shares in one day and will continue to buy.

Marvel Entertainment, which has been out of bankruptcy liquidation for 4 years, is currently maintaining its share price at around $3, and a 50% premium cash transaction ensures the interests of all investors.

According to the agreement reached by both parties, based on the closing price last Friday (January 25), it will acquire most of the shares of Marvel shareholders at a premium of 50%. In addition to some shareholders maintaining the shares and matrix shares in a certain proportion, such as Avi Arad, Jack Kobe, Kevin Feige and others will become the new shareholders of matrix Marvel.

After completing this acquisition, 80% of Marvel's shares will belong to the matrix... No, to be precise, it belongs to Chen Tiandu, and has basically been privatized and will apply for delisting from Nasdaq. The matrix will obtain ownership of more than 5,000 characters under Marvel.

Regarding the movies that Marvel has previously authorized other companies to produce, such as Spider-Man, Matrix's spokesman Peck said: This acquisition will not affect the previous contract. But the next film of Matrix must be to find opportunities to recover copyright or other ways of cooperation. Further consultations with other companies are needed.

In this way, the hot acquisition case, which has been delayed for nearly a month, was finally officially incorporated into the matrix company.

After reorganizing the board of directors, Aviarard proposed to withdraw from the CEO position. Chen Tianzhe proposed that Kevin Feige serve as the matrix - Marvel Studios' new CEO. This is Marvel's own person. They believe that Kevin will not build Marvel movies into assembly line work, so this proposal was easily approved by the board of directors.

From then on, Kevin Feige embarked on the road to leading the new Marvel with gratitude.

The Marvel Universe Movie Project was officially launched. This money almost put almost all the funds he had loaned into the matrix-Marvel. But the money is a bastard, and he earns it back after using it. He never worried.

Now, Chen Tian is most concerned about whether the copyright of the Marvel superhero movie that has been sold can be recovered.

It's all caused by money - Marvel has been suffering from economic crisis in the 1990s, and the company is so poor that it is facing a crisis of bankruptcy. Selling the right to films of its works is the best way to protect itself - once the work is made into a movie, no matter whether the box office of the movie is lost or profitable, Marvel will share the money, and having money is the king.

Speaking of which, when he was selling copyright, Stan Lee, the creator of most Marvel Super Heroes, was eager to bring superheroes to the movie. This old man who now frequently makes guest appearances in Super Heroes movies has been planning to bring these heroes to the big screen since the 1970s, but Marvel's own economic strength did not allow it at that time and the film technology was not mature enough, so he compromised.

In this way, from 1986 to 1996, most of Marvel's superheroes were bought by various film companies, Sony bought the copyrights of "Spider-Man" and "Venom", and Fox bought the copyrights of "X-Men", "Fantasy Four", and "Deadpool".

During the bankruptcy protection period of Marvel Entertainment, the agreement of 20th Century Fox was abolished, and after the reorganization, the two parties renewed the contract again.

But the new contract is very interesting. Take the 1996 Marvel and Sony movie copyright agreement on Spider-Man, which was signed as a five-year contract. This 5-year term does not refer to the time zone from 1999 to 2004, but refers to the fact that the movie "Spider-Man" will continue to be released within 5 years.

For example, Sam Remy's version of "Spider-Man" will be released this year, two years later, in 2004, and three years later, in 2007, in 2007, the release of each film will remain within 5 years, and the terms of the contract will not be violated. If the years exceed, the copyright of "Spider-Man" must be returned to Marvel with both hands.

The same is true for 20th Century Fox. Although the contract is 7 years, it still has to be cautious in fulfilling its promises. The "X-Men" series has been filmed and filmed, prequel and filmed and filmed after filming, and the same is true for "Wolverine". Even if the reputation is not good, it must be filmed.

What Chen Tian wants to take back the most now is the copyright of "Hulk", which is still in the hands of the world.

After joint research with Avi, Kevin and others, there is probably only one way left to take back the copyright of the "Hulk" - that is, let Global Company automatically give up.

In theory, this situation is simply impossible. But Chen Tiandou knew that this would happen soon.

Perhaps stimulated by the acquisition of comics by Matrix, Universal has officially launched the Hulk and invited his compatriot Li to direct it. If the movie has a box office and reputation, and Universal producers may not return the copyright to Marvel if they do not want to continue to produce sequels.
