In his previous life, those stars and directors on the screen were out of reach for Ma Wei. But in this life, Ma Wei was able to contact them as an investor and as an entertainment company boss... This seems quite interesting.

After deciding on the next step, Ma Wei immediately turned on his computer and looked for some seriously underrated film companies in Hollywood.

However, after searching for a while, he found that the eight major Hollywood film companies and the subsequent ranking companies are currently unable to afford them. If you choose one, the market value will exceed 900 million US dollars.

These film and television companies have long been famous, so their prices have risen. However, Mawei doesn't need to buy such expensive ones, because even if the company is awesome, it will still be ruined if it makes a bunch of bad movies.

So Mawei finally set his sights on a company that publishes comics. The company's comic characters will be familiar to viewers all over the world, such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Deadpool...

That’s right, the comic company that Mavie is interested in is the Marvel Comics company that later created the “Marvel Cinematic Universe”!

Marvel in 2000 was in a very miserable state. Due to the bursting of the American comics bubble in the 1990s and being impacted by the Internet industry, the sales of paper comics fell and fell again and again, and a large number of Marvel employees left the company, which made Marvel Comics almost hover on the brink of bankruptcy. They could only rely on selling the copyright of characters to gain a glimmer of hope.

For example, the familiar "Spider-Man" was sold to Sony at a bargain price by Marvel in a helpless manner. The "X-Men Series" and "Deadpool Series" that were popular on the big screen were traded to 21st Century Fox.

As for Captain America, Black Panther, Black Widow, and Ant-Man, they were sold to Artisan Entertainment at a low price. Iron Man and Hulk were sold to Universal Pictures. From these actions, it can be seen that the Marvel board of directors was really short of money and did not find its true value...

At this time, Ma Wei immediately called the housekeeper to the room and ordered him, "Ivan, send someone to contact Marvel Comics immediately. I have a business to talk to their chairman."

Mawei discovered that although Marvel was in this life, he was also miserable in 2000. Fortunately, he had not sold the copyright of film and television at a low price. So he had to contact him quickly, otherwise if he asked it to sell the hero, Mawei would definitely be very depressed!

"Okay, young master, I'll do it now." Ivan took the order to go out and contact his family's connections in the United States.

...

Three weeks later, in the center of New York, a Japanese man in a suit took his female assistant to Marvel headquarters to discuss the copyright transfer of the comic hero.

This Japanese man, named Taro Ueno, is the vice president of Sony Film Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Company. This time, Sony Pictures wants to spend $7 million to purchase the film and television rights of the hero "Spider-Man" and then make it into a movie.

Even including the X-Men series, Sony movies want to buy them, if the price is cheap...

Taro Ueno looks over 40 years old, with oily hair and meticulously combed. He drove his Nissan sedan prepared for him by the company and drove his assistant to the Marvel headquarters building in the heart of downtown New York.

Since the trip was exactly afternoon, it was avoiding the morning rush hour, so the roads in the city were still smooth. Ueno Taro drove Nissan comfortably and drove on the road.

However, just as he was about to drive into the underground parking lot of the Marvel Building, Taro Ueno and his assistant saw that at the entrance of the parking lot, they were blocked by two aggressive dark golden off-road vehicles.

The two off-road vehicles lined up in front of him had a very domineering appearance, and the Hummers both looked a little weak in front of them. So let alone the Nissan sedan driven by Taro Ueno.

"President Ueno, what are the two cars in front of you? It feels like you are in Japan and you have never seen them before." The female assistant asked Ueno Taro curiously.

"I don't know very well, it seems that it should be explosion-proof SUVs, right?" Ueno Taro said, shook his head. He didn't know what the two off-road vehicles in front of them were. He only knew that it was definitely not easy to mess with when looking at this posture. So he didn't dare to honk the horn to urge him to pass quickly.

The two dark golden SUVs in front of them are naturally Mavie's car "Kebach Battle Shield". However, because this is in the United States, these two war shield bulletproof cars do not have air cannons and belong to Mavie's "international version of SUV".

The two cars were parked at the entrance for a while, and they were waiting for Taro Ueno and the female assistant in Nissan's car, and they were a little anxious.

"President Ueno, why don't you honk the horn and urge the front? What are they doing?" the female assistant couldn't help but suggest.

"Drip!Drip!"

After a moment of confusion, Taro Ueno decisively pressed the car horn, but found that the car in front still did not move.

He was a little angry now, so he immediately got out of the car and wanted to negotiate with the owner in front of him. But when he walked to the two war shield bulletproof cars, Ueno Taro was surprised to find that there was no one in the car, and there was not even a shadow!

The only thing that I have is a vague sound from the corner of the parking lot, "Just push it here, thank you! Thank you so much!"

"I'm really sorry, I've caused you trouble!"

Taro Ueno looked for it and felt a little ashamed. He saw a group of strong Russian men in black suits pushing an old pickup truck full of goods. The owner of the car was also helping to push it, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to them.

Because the pickup truck is heavier and the body is dirty, many bodyguards have more or less a layer of gray on their suits. Compared with Taro Ueno's anger and complaints, it is a sharp contrast.

It turned out that this pickup truck that broke down halfway was the cause of the intersection. As for Ma Wei and his convoy, they were not blocking the intersection unscrupulously, but doing good deeds.

Taro Ueno looked at a white young man in the crowd. Although the young man was dressed in ordinary clothes and was not eye-catching, he could see that the group of Russian bodyguards in front of him were just following the young man...

Three minutes later, when two Kebach war shields moved into the parking lot, Ueno Taro also drove Nissan in shame and followed behind.

However, what he didn't know was that the white young man he had just seen was actually a rival to compete with him in Sony later.
