The room fell silent for a moment, and Avi Arad couldn't believe his ears. Twentieth Century Fox made such an inappropriate request!

Although the commercial response of the first two "X-Men" movies is not as good as "Spider-Man", it can be said to be rewarded with a huge reward. The box office generated by global theaters is enough to recover costs. Five percent of all online and offline revenues are shared by Marvel Comics.

Compared to the previous film "Blade Warrior", Marvel Comics earned only a pitiful $200,000, and "X-Men" is the second largest revenue project in Marvel Comics in recent years.

The first nature is Sony Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man.

The breeze blown from the air conditioner slid past Avi Arad's head, and anger rushed from his heart to the top of his head. A few white hairs fell in the wind, and Avi Arad's hairline quietly retreated a millimeter.

Avi Arad tried his best to maintain peace: "Twentieth Century Fox made such an inappropriate request, you have no spirit of contract!"

Sean Downey said coldly: "The first thing that violates the spirit of contract is Marvel Comics!"

Avi Arad looked at Sean Downey and said, "You can tell your boss that this is absolutely impossible!"

"We are Twentieth Century Fox." Sean Connie finally smiled: "Twentieth Century Fox, which belongs to News Corp."

He did not give Avi Arad time to respond and said: "There are rumors in the investment market that Citibank will withdraw loans from Marvel Comics in advance, and the collection period is two weeks. I don't know what Marvel will use to repay the loan? If Citibank applies for compulsory enforcement, Marvel Comics' situation will be much worse than it is now, right?"

Avi Arad has been carrying Marvel for so many years and is very tired and heartbroken, but without any tenacity, he will definitely not be able to withstand the present.

He welcomes those who want to help Marvel Comics; those who want Marvel Comics' long-lasting life will soon not have enough capital, and he will try his best to fight back.

"This is a business deal between Marvel Comics and Citibank." Avi Arad certainly would not nod: "No need for Twentieth Century Fox to bother."

But Sean Downey said: "What if Twentieth Century Fox can mediate Marvel Comics and Citibank?"

Avi Arad paused for a moment, not believing that there was such a good thing in the world, so he asked deliberately: "What do you mean?"

Sean Downey said: "Twentieth Century Fox negotiated with Citibank to ensure that Citibank will put the collection period within the longest time frame of the agreement."

Avi Arad nodded slightly: "The price is Marvel Comics giving up the late share of the "X-Men" series?"

“There are also copyrights for future new X-Men-related comics and characters,” Sean Downey added.

After hearing this, Avi Arad suddenly thought of a possibility with years of experience and said: "No, Marvel Comics can convince Citibank."

Sean Downey smiled faintly and said, "What do you use to convince Citibank?"

Avi Arad said deliberately: "Because Marvel Comics is facing a big company like Twentieth Century Fox?"

Sean Downey did not answer, but just looked at Avi Arad calmly.

"I get it." Avi Arad said: "Twentieth Century Fox intends to force Marvel Comics to agree to these unscrupulous demands."

Sean Downey did not admit it or deny it, and stood up and said, "Mr. Arad, there is more than a week before Citibank's final repayment period. Please and Marvel Comics carefully consider the appeal of 20th Century Fox. I believe this will be a win-win cooperation."

He took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, Avi Arad gently shook him, and couldn't help but say, "The win-win situation of Twentieth Century Fox is so special."

Sean Downey smiled, said a few polite words, and left the club first.

Avi Arad completely understood that Citibank's loan withdrawal is not an isolated incident, and there is a very likely shadow of 20th Century Fox behind it.

Some time ago, Marvel Comics wanted to realize its reasonable demands on the "Fantastic Four" project through reasonable and legal negotiations. Twentieth Century Fox not only disagrees, but actually used such means...

Twentieth Century Fox's greedy face is simply ugly!

Avi Arad touched his bare forehead and put down his hand, and found that there were some white hair on his hands.

Will you become bald this month?

This night, Avi Arad's sad hair became even thinner. When he returned home and pondered, he could never find a way to get Marvel out of the predicament.

Sitting in the position of Marvel Comics’ chairman and CEO is mostly a business choice.

But Avi Arad has some emotional factors to persist until now.

In the most glorious era of this comic company, Avi Arad spent his teenage years in his life.

Avi Arad found that he was about to be unable to hold on.

When your hair falls out, you don’t have to persist anymore.

At the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the team led by Robert Eiger took over a whole floor to operate this acquisition.

A team of more than 30 people and more cooperative external companies have already started running at full speed.

The dynamics of Marvel Comics have never been out of the team's sight.

Relevant information from all aspects was also continuously transmitted from all parts of Manhattan to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and summarized into Robert Eiger's hands.

"Marvel Comics held another internal high-level meeting today."

In the separate lounge with the conference room, Robert Lee told Robert Eiger the news he just received: "Avi Arad revealed a situation at the meeting that the people from Twentieth Century Fox have come to him."

Robert Iger was not surprised that Twentieth Century Fox came to Marvel Comics and asked: "The specific purpose of Twentieth Century Fox?"

Robert Lee said: "Borrowing Citibank to withdraw loans and ask Marvel Comics to give up the copyright revenue share of the "X-Men" series."

"That's just a little appetite?" Robert Egg frowned slightly: "It's just a 5% share of the profits of a series of movies."

Robert Lee said: "In our eyes, especially Ronan's future plans, Marvel has great value, but in the eyes of other companies, Marvel is just a comic company that is about to end."

Robert Eiger nodded slightly and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Robert Lee replied: "In recent years, Ronan and I have had a lot of contact with Marvel Comics and are very careful to manage our relationship with them. The majority of people who tend to seek help from our relativity entertainment are inclined to seek help from."

He thought about it and said: "Avi Arad and Marvel management are very dissatisfied with the tough moves of 20th Century Fox and will probably refuse tomorrow, but Marvel Comics is in a bad situation and the final result is unpredictable."

Someone knocked in and reported: "Marvel Comics' stock price fell to $1.1."

Robert Eiger waved his hand and the man immediately stepped out.

Robert Lee said: "When Ronan and I bought the copyrights of those characters from Marvel Comics, the share price of Marvel Comics was still above $3 and the market value exceeded $1 billion. In the face of the newly established Relativity Entertainment, it was definitely a behemoth."

He shook his head: "In just a few years, the value of Marvel Comics has shrunk by two-thirds."

Robert Iger said: "Because Marvel's most important soft assets have been divided up by many companies."

"Now the opportunity has come." Robert Lee was confident: "Twentieth Century Fox can't stop us."

Twentieth Century Fox secretly digs out the corner of Relativity Entertainment, which simply turns Twentieth Century Fox into the gun that lowers the value of Marvel comics.

Such a good gun is not available at any time. Robert Iger took a few steps back and forth and said: "If Marvel Comics finally compromised with the 20th Century Fox, it will inevitably bring uncertainty to our next plan. We don't have to wait any longer. We will give Marvel Comics an exact reply this afternoon. Relativity Entertainment is willing to help Marvel Comics overcome the difficulties."

Robert Lee said: "I contacted Avi Arad directly, hoping that Relativity Entertainment and Marvel Comics can become a family."

"You are familiar with the situation in Marvel." Robert Iger considered it: "You are responsible for contacting Marvel, and establish a stable, friendly and effective communication channel between Marvel and Relativity Entertainment."

Robert Lee reminded: "Bob, Avi Allard has great power in Marvel's current state of affairs. This is a person who has a considerable relationship with Marvel comics. When we communicate and negotiate, we should not be aggressive. The position of Relativity Entertainment is to help Marvel and work with Marvel to create an unprecedented superhero movie project."

Robert Eiger said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem in this regard."

The 20th Century Fox has done the work step by step, and there is no need to start this aspect.

If Marvel Comics wants to get out of the predicament, they can only find new investors and bring a huge plan to relativity entertainment, which will surprise Marvel Comics.

Robert Lee and Robert Eiger discussed for a while and looked at some specific aspects of the plan again.

Finally, Robert Eiger said: "After you contact Avi Arad, you will make an appointment for an interview. We will go to see Avi Arad tomorrow afternoon."

Marvel Comics actively seeks help from Relativity Entertainment, and the initiative is still in the hands of Relativity Entertainment.

That afternoon, Avi Arad, who was in sorrow, received a call from Robert Lee and learned that Relativity Entertainment was going to send a company's second character to talk to Marvel comics, and he had some expectations.
