Chapter 258: 'Spider-Man 2' hits theaters, Zhou Xingxing's invitation

The 50 billion yuan he invested in China Mobile was the funds he sold out by selling some of Marvel Comics' stocks and cashing out. Since he acquired Marvel Comics last year, Mavie has bought from a stock price of $3.5 and has been selling part of $33.6 now. It only took more than a year and has made nearly 10 times directly!

This is closely related to his correct strategy and operating the market.

After a while, Google and Ma V Video will also apply for listing. The funds that can be raised will be even more. It will definitely make Mawei fly.

After investing in two major domestic communication companies, Mawei's bank account had only a pitiful $83 million. Looking at the bank deposits falling from 9 digits to 8 digits, Mawei really felt that the money was too insufficient.

He originally wanted to invest in the aerospace industry and build a Russian domestic aerospace company that can compete with Boeing and Airbus. After all, he now owns two major Russian fighter jet institutes.

Then I will go to Ukraine and buy the Antonov Design Bureau, which produces the An-255. Join forces with the three major design bureaus to design a sky giant that surpasses the A380 and the Boeing 787. This should not be a problem. Unfortunately, the funding requirements are too high and the cost recovery is slow. I can't afford it for the time being...

In addition to cashing out from the stock market, "Spider-Man 2" that Mawei has prepared for filming some time ago will be released globally the day after tomorrow. Judging from the premiere reservations, it seems to be more popular than the first one. Large cinemas at home and abroad are all booked.

Even online comments were expected and wanted to watch them more. After all, at this time of 2001, people's entertainment methods were relatively simple. Even TV shows were repeatedly played on TV shows, without any novelty.

Speaking of movies, the ones that compete with Ma Wei's "Spider-Man 2" also include "Shaolin Football" directed and starred by Zhou Xingxing. This is the first time that the domestic film industry has used special effects technology to shoot and produce the film. The box office is about 42 million US dollars.

Two days later, "Spider-Man 2" invested by Mawei was released simultaneously around the world. The box office on the first day reached an astonishing US$29 million! Then, due to the high quality of the film and the plot, the box office on the second and third days remained at around US$35 million!

At this level, it should be no problem to earn a global box office record of 900 million US dollars after the schedule ends. Including the cinema chains Mavie has laid out in the United States, Russia and other countries. The box office of these 900 million US dollars can be at least 560 million yuan...

Two days later, the president of Marvel Studios called Mawei to report the good news, "Hey, Chairman Mawei, let me tell you good news! The global box office of "Spider-Man 2" we released in the past three days has accumulated to 160 million US dollars! According to this trend, it is expected to exceed 1 billion US dollars before it is released!"

At this time, Mavie had returned to Russia. The profit of 100 million or 200 million is common to Mavie. Mavie is as simple as drinking water. When did his subordinates call him and tell him that he had a loss of 160 million, then Mavie would be really scared...

"Good job." Mavie drank the glass of red wine, his feet without socks, and stepped on the soft white belly of the polar bear Winnie.

The lion Simbe, who was beside him, came to smell Mawei's feet curiously. Then he was so angry that his eyes widened by the smell on his feet. He seemed to be saying, this sourness... It smells like dried salted fish...

This is not that Mawei's feet smelled too much, but that the feline's sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of humans. So it rushed to her nose.

"Mawei, the actors Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johnson, etc., who were filming the Avengers trailer, have been asking us when we will be planning to shoot the next movie...? Which series will be filmed? This question includes many viewers and Marvel fans, have been asking. They really want to see the heroes of the Avengers appear on the screen."

Since "Spider-Man 1", the president of Marvel Studios has often received inquiry calls from Robert Downey Jr. and mobile text messages. I want to know when Marvel Studios will prepare to shoot a Marvel hero. Simply put, I want to know when Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor Thor will be on the stage.

If they reveal it in advance, they will definitely spare the schedule in advance. After all, instead of filming low-cost films or not many box office movies, of course, they can only enjoy themselves by following Ma Wei.

Robert Downey Jr. was really envious of the black and red insect man wearing a headband and spinning everywhere.

Hearing his subordinates ask on the other end of the phone, what will be filmed in the next film? Ma Wei thought briefly and said lightly, "Let them wait for a while and don't rush. After all, Iron Man, Thor Thor, and the Avengers need too many special effects. With current shooting technology, such a good hero theme will definitely be wasted."

"So let's shoot the X-Men series first! Try to release and release at a rate of one movie a year or even two movies a year. At worst, you can arrange a few irrelevant guest appearances for the Avengers heroes at that time. Let the fans and fans have a little bit of fun."

Because of Marvel Comics in this life, there is no cheap sale of heroes such as Spider-Man, X-Men, etc., Mavie can fully use imaginary and random combination of characters and plots. I believe this will be very interesting at that time.

"Okay, Chairman Ma Wei, I understand! Well, by the way, we received a cooperation request from a Lugang Film and Television Company two days ago, named Xinghui Pictures. They want to learn and exchange their experience in special effects films. I wonder Chairman Ma Wei, do you know this company?"

Regarding cooperation and contacts from domestic film and television companies, Mavie specifically asked the president of Marvel Studios not to refuse. On the one hand, he wanted to help the domestic film industry with his current identity.

After all, due to foreign technology monopoly, people will not give advanced shooting technology to Chinese film companies. Even if Chinese people spend money, they often find second-tier production teams at most. This is one of the reasons for the 50 cents special effects.

As for the second aspect, it is Ma Wei's previous life. He grew up watching movies and TV series of Hong Kong stars and mainland stars since childhood. If he had the opportunity to get in touch with them, would it bring a different experience to his life...?
