At the press conference, Li Yang sat on the signing stage. He looked at the reporters who kept asking questions and remained silent.
After a long while, the reporters saw that Li Yang did not speak, so they could only quiet down.
At this moment, Li Yang moistened his throat and said into the microphone,""The reason why Woodpecker wants to buy the rights to Marvel's heroes is because Woodpecker wants to put these heroes on the big screen and make them into real-life hero movies.”
" In the past, these heroes could only stay in our minds in the form of comics. If Woodpecker could make the stories of these heroes into movies, a bizarre and fantasy-filled Marvel Universe would be presented to all mankind!”
" There is no doubt that Woodpecker Entertainment is a great pioneer. We are willing to try, and we are willing to take practical action to push forward such a manga adaptation plan!”
After Li Yang finished speaking, the reporters below looked at each other. An image appeared in their minds. It was a real-life superhero.
Thinking of this, everyone shuddered. This was simply destroying their childhood idol.
For example, looking at the superheroes in the comics, they could imagine the world in the comics.
However, if they turned into real people, wouldn't that ruin their childhood?
A male star with a shield playing the role of the captain of the United States to attack the Hydra organization?
A middle-aged male star in alloy armor playing Iron Man, a hero saving the damsel in distress?
A female star in leather clothes and pants playing the role of Black Widow, showing off her extraordinary fighting ability?
Thinking of this scene, all the reporters suddenly felt uncomfortable.
It was obvious that the manga characters had been turned into real-life movies. To the manga fans, this was simply destroying the perfect image of the hero in their hearts.
No matter who played the role, there would always be flaws that people would find fault with. Only in comics could those heroes be considered perfect.
A middle-aged reporter stood up and took off his glasses. He looked at Li Yang angrily and shouted,""Mr. Li, I want to ask you seriously. Please don't make my childhood idol into a live-action movie. It will destroy my childhood memories!”
Then, another reporter stood up and said,"Mr. Li, manga heroes aren't suitable for live-action movies. Only high-quality anime movies are suitable for these superheroes.”
Li Yang glanced at the two reporters and ignored them. He said loudly,""Whether or not a manga hero is suitable to be made into a live-action movie is not something that you and I can decide. It needs the audience to experience it.”
" Please rest assured, Woodpecker is a great company. We will spare no expense, manpower, and material resources to pursue perfection in our movies. Woodpecker will present the most exciting movies to all the audiences who like comic heroes.”
" In the first phase of Woodpecker's film and television project, we will start shooting four superhero movies at the same time. These four superhero characters are Iron Man, Captain America, Spiderman, and Black Widow. According to the initial investment budget, the total investment for these four superhero movies is about 1 billion dollars.”
In an instant, there was another uproar below the stage. Many people were stunned and suspected that they had heard wrongly.
Shooting four superhero movies at the same time, with a total investment of one billion dollars, big brother, are you bragging without a draft?
The Woodpecker Company had only been established for a short period of time, and it had not even made a single movie. It had no results at all.
However, such a new company had directly launched four large-scale investment films at the same time. Moreover, they were comic-based films with unknown prospects. If they could make a good film, they would eat sh * t upside down!
There were so many movies produced every year in the world. If there weren't 10,000 of them, there were at least a few thousand of them. Everyone knew that movies made money.
However, how many investors lost their capital every year?
In the eyes of the reporters, Li Yang was too arrogant. Even if he wanted to cross the border to invest, he had to learn how to walk first before he learned how to run. His current behavior was like running on all four legs at the same time. It would be strange if he did not fall to his death!
A moment later, a reporter asked,""Mr. Li, I seriously suspect that you are exaggerating. Your purpose is just to attract the attention of the fishing boat. I don't believe that Woodpecker Company would dare to launch four large-scale investment manga films at the same time.”
"I'm exaggerating?" Li Yang felt hurt and said solemnly,""I don't think you know me well enough. Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm a person who speaks the truth. I won't make something up out of nothing.”
"Mr. Li, according to your plan, Woodpecker's comic adaptation project will require a total of about one billion dollars. May I ask where this money will come from?”A reporter asked.
"The manga adaptation project is a great attempt, and Woodpecker Entertainment is a great pioneer. However, due to the uncertain future, I know that no investor is willing to invest in these four movies, so these four movies will be solely invested and filmed by Woodpecker Entertainment. Although the funds required for these four movies are huge, I can still afford it!”Li Yang's words were leisurely, as if he was describing a sacred and great cause.
He knew very well that if they were only shooting a manga-based movie, there might be people who would be tempted and want to participate.
If he were to release four comic-based movies at the same time, others would definitely think that he was crazy. Who would dare to invest?
As long as no one dared to invest, those big shots of the Shadow World who wanted to share the profits could only shrink back and not act rashly. In this way, Li Yang's goal of monopolizing the profits was achieved.
By the time he finished this wave of monopolization, his strength would have reached a new level. At that time, Li Yang would have the ability to monopolize everything, and he would not have to play tricks like now.
In a place like the US, win-win cooperation and strong alliances were the most important. If you wanted to monopolize everything, it would cause a lot of dissatisfaction.
Of course, as long as one was strong enough to withstand all the pressure, there would naturally be no problem!
No matter which region it was, why were the founders of those big companies only left with a few shares in the end? Were they really so generous and did not care at all?
In fact, that was not the case. Who wouldn't care? They had no choice.
When you were weak, if a strong person took a fancy to you and was willing to provide you with funds and resources, the only condition was to share the benefits. If you did not agree to share the benefits, you might die a miserable death.
This was also why many founders of companies ended up working for others.
As the era developed, it was becoming more and more inclined to an era where the strong would always be strong. In the next ten years, it would be even more difficult for ordinary people to stand out.
The era that Li Yang was in could be considered the era with the most opportunities.
Right now, the world was uncertain, and everyone was a dark horse. Once the world was decided, not to mention a dark horse, even a white horse could be crushed to death.
