Xiao Yang transferred the funds to Marvel's account and returned to Los Angeles. He could not stand the winter in New York. It was too cold. It was still more comfortable to stay in the warm California.
"Kevin, do you think Los Angeles is much more comfortable than New York?”Xiao Yang turned around and looked at the young Caucasian man in his twenties beside him. He was simple-minded and looked like an honest man.
"Hehe, it's indeed much warmer than New York.”Kevin Fitch was originally an intern at Marvel Entertainment. Xiao Yang saw this familiar face at first glance in his office, and then he remembered that this person was the president of Marvel Entertainment in 2007. It was because of him that Marvel Entertainment went all out to film their first independent film, Iron Man. It was a huge success, and then the Marvel Universe series.
How could such a talent be wasted? Xiao Yang, in the spirit of being a talent scout, had asked him to follow him to Los Angeles, preparing to set up a Marvel office in Los Angeles. After all, he did not want to keep running to New York. If there was anything he needed in the future, he could just tell Fei Qi and let him run.
"Let's go, I'll bring you to your office!”Xiao Yang drove Fei Qi straight to the office of the Allspark.
……
" Robert, this is Kevin Fitch, Marvel's liaison to Los Angeles. I've decided to let him work at the Allspark for the time being. Kevin, this is Robert Edgar, the CEO of the Allspark.”Xiao Yang introduced them to each other.
"Hello," Edgar had already heard about Xiao Yang's acquisition of Marvel, so he did not ask anything. He smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello, just call me Kevin!”Fei Qi smiled and took Edgar's hand.
"Alright, let Fei Qi take a look at his office first.”Edgar called his assistant to bring Fitch to his office.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yang asked Edgar after Fei Qi left the office.
"The Transformers copyright has been bought for 5 million USD. Hasbro has agreed and signed the contract.”Edgar told Xiao Yang the good news with a smile.
"Aiyo, f * ck!" Xiao Yang did not expect to successfully buy the rights to Transformers after buying Marvel Entertainment. It was a double blessing.
"Well done, Edgar!" Xiao Yang was overjoyed and gave Edgar a thumbs up.
"Hehe, I want to ask, why do you want to buy a Transformer? It doesn't seem to have any commercial value.”Edgar looked at Xiao Yang in confusion. He could not understand why Xiao Yang was willing to pay any price to get the rights to the Transformers.
"Robert, what kind of movie do you think can make money and sold well at the box office?”Xiao Yang asked Edgar as he crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair.
" A profitable movie…" Edgar frowned and shook his head." I'm not sure.”
"No matter what, commercial films are the guarantee of box office sales. You can't deny this, right?”Xiao Yang smiled and said," What kind of commercial film can attract the audience's attention?”
"Special effects blockbuster! A tight plot and explosive special effects!”Xiao Yang answered his own question." What do you think about turning Transformers into a movie? Use special effects to show these robots on the big screen. Cool transformations, explosive robot battles, metal bodies colliding with each other, creating a pile of sparks! It included racing cars and robots. They were all big scenes. Do you think the audience would want to pay to watch such a movie?”Xiao Yang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his saliva was about to spurt out.
"What you said does sound like a very attractive movie. If it were me, I think I would buy a movie ticket to see it.”Edgar nodded in agreement." But with our current technology, we can't do the special effect of the robot transformation that you mentioned.”
" Yes, the current technology might not be able to complete what I'm talking about, but what about in a few years? Robert, I didn't want the Allspark to buy the Transformers for now. The Allspark is too small now. We'll do some low-cost productions in the early stages and slowly develop it. When we become stronger in the future, we'll take out those scripts that require technology and money to shoot. That's the way to long-term development!”Xiao Yang stated his plan in one breath.
"Well…okay, maybe you're right.”Edgar spread his hands." Then let's put the Transformers aside for now. We'll talk about it later."”
"We can first give the rights to the Transformers toys to Marvel. They also have a toy department, so we can produce them together.”Xiao Yang had no intention of buying the Transformers and leaving them to eat dust. He wanted to earn as much as he could.
"Alright." Edgar nodded." By the way, Charlie's Angels 'filming is almost over. It might be done in a few days. When the editing is done, when do you think we can release it?”Edgar wanted to ask for Xiao Yang's opinion.
"So fast!" Xiao Yang was also surprised. He had been busy with the Allspark and Marvel, so he had not had time to visit the three girls. He did not know that the movie was almost finished.
"It's because this movie doesn't have much technical content. The filming went very smoothly.”Edgar replied with a smile.
" Alright, it's almost Christmas. Well, we definitely won't be able to make it in time for the New Year. We still have time for publicity. What do you think of February 14th? Valentine's Day. We can bring couples to the cinema to watch an action comedy on that day.”Xiao Yang asked Edgar.
"No problem! It's just that the competition for the Valentine's Day slot is very fierce. I'm afraid that the box office will be affected.”Edgar wasn't worried about the issue of distribution. He had already reached a cooperation agreement with a few major cinemas. All the films produced by the Allspark could be arranged. However, if they encountered a popular period, they might not be able to compete with the films produced by those big companies.
"It's okay. We still have to look at the quality of the movie. I'm confident in our movie.”Xiao Yang smiled confidently.
In fact, he knew that in 1997, there were only two movies in North America that were worthy of his attention. One was Cameron's Titanic, and the other was Spielberg's Jurassic Park 2. As long as he did not run into these two movies, Charlie's Angels had the potential to make a hit at the box office.
Most importantly, Xiao Yang remembered the release dates of the two movies. The former was released at the end of 1997, while the latter was released in the middle of 1997. The release date of Charlie's Angels was February, so it was impossible for them to collide.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Although Edgar did not understand where Xiao Yang's confidence came from, he did not probe further. After all, the Allspark was not the investor of this movie. It was solely owned by Xiao Yang, and the Allspark was only responsible for the distribution.
"Alright, go ahead! I'm going to meet my little girls, haha!”Xiao Yang stood up and patted his butt with a smile. He was ready to visit the set.
