In the face of bloody reality, these senior executives of Marvel Studios finally realized the reality. Although they had a great success in "Iron Man", Marvel is far from being smooth sailing now. The Oriental Superhero Universe created by Wu Mingxuan is definitely their rival.
Especially the amazing performance in the Asia-Pacific market is indeed very surprising. Even the previous "Iron Man" was in the same release cycle, let alone North America, even if the total global box office was combined, it was the same as other people's Asia-Pacific market. Who said that their movies were seriously dissatisfied with the environment in the Asia-Pacific market?
Kevin continued to strike the railway while it was hot: Judging from the current box office data, the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asian markets alone are not inferior to our entire European and American markets, and can successfully support the movies invested by US$200 million, so we either play their own games or cooperate to hurt each other. Judging from the current situation, we have indeed suffered greater losses.
Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac Permutt represents the comics department, and is known for saving money and focusing on comics. He is the real center of power for the entire Marvel now. Even Kevin is still one of the ends at this stage, and he is a typical representative of the diehard.
However, Marvel has just overcome the crisis of bankruptcy and liquidation. If they face Wu Mingxuan's full battle at this time, they will be very disadvantaged.
Wu Mingxuan has too much advantage in the Asia-Pacific market and his personal wealth is too rich. They just happen to have no money. If they fail once or twice, they will be completely played. If others lose ten times, they will be injuring their muscles. There is no comparison between the two sides.
OK, tomorrow we will visit that friend from the East and have a good chat with him.
Kevin nodded. He couldn't avoid Isaac now and needed the support of Marvel Entertainment, but after Wu Mingxuan acquired the shares, it was not necessarily the case.
Although Kevin had just briefly communicated with Wu Mingxuan before, he could see that compared to comics, what Wu Mingxuan really cares about is movies. They have more common language, and he needs more support now.
Wu Mingxuan also talked about Marvel with Mitsui Dongyue at this time. Naturally, he did not disclose the 19% stake, but simply asked about the situation on Marvel.
Marvel, who had to make a living by selling copyrights for a long time, finally got to know her own way in 2005 and decided to use copyright loans to make movies by herself, and make her final gamble with superhero movies.
But raising money is a problem. We have long been eyeing them. How could they easily raise startup funds that can be a big gamble?
So at that time, Marvel signed an agreement with Wall Street Merrill Lynch to mortgage famous characters such as Thor and Captain America. If the film was not profitable and failed to make more than $500 million in five years, Merrill Lynch would immediately own these characters.
It's only one step away, but it's difficult to start their superhero universe directly, and it requires too much money, so it depends on who can laugh at it. Don't tell me that you are planning to enter this quagmire, which is the prey that Disney is targeting.
Wu Mingxuan certainly knew that Marvel was targeted by Disney. Since the "Iron Man" was sold last year, they have directly targeted 19% of the hands of Stan Lee's unfilial daughter Qiong Li. This share is very critical, but unfortunately they have been successfully intercepted by themselves.
Who said Disney happened to encounter the subprime mortgage crisis? Although it has survived safely, it is really impossible to make a move for a while, and it is a little stretched in working capital. After all, the film and television industry is only a small part of others, and Disneyland and related peripheral sales are the real big head.
It really makes Disney have to acquire Marvel at any cost, and it must be "Iron Man 2" released next year. The great success of this movie has allowed Marvel to completely overcome the debt crisis and can embark on the road of revival according to its own ideas.
Can you imagine it?
Marvel, whose valuation was only $6 billion in mid-2009, soared to $20 billion at the end of 2010. By the time Avengers 2 successfully sold Disney and completed its final wholly-owned merger in 2015, it soared to $60 billion. By 2020, when Wu Mingxuan traveled through time, Marvel had become the most profitable film company in the world, with an independent valuation of nearly $130 billion.
So it was not too difficult for Wu Mingxuan to invest in Marvel in 2009. Disney could not give too high valuation, nor could it bet on Marvel now. The risk of making movies is too great. Who dares to say that the movies he made are sure to make a profit?
If "Iron Man 2" fails, Disney can get those copyrights from Merrill Lynch at a very low price, why does it still have to bear the current price?
This is also the reason why the 19% of Qiong Li's hands can only be installed, and the price has not been increased. The two sides have played various games. Wu Mingxuan has read a lot of reports on this in later generations, so he is very clear about how he should buy at the bottom.
Mitsui Dongyue didn't know these inside stories. She just reminded Wu Mingxuan from her perspective that there are risks in cooperation with Marvel. The best choice is of course to be with them Sony, but it is not Sony Pictures, but the parent company Sony Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd.
Of course, Wu Mingxuan would not agree. He would not hand over the fate of the Chinese entertainment industry in the next ten years and his very important media empire to Mitsui Dongyue. Not to mention that she also has some risks. Even without these risks, Wu Mingxuan would not agree. He only believes in himself.
However, the explanation still needs to be explained. Wu Mingxuan expressed his strategic thinking: Different, Marvel cannot control my Perfect Pictures, this is just a simple cross-holding strategic cooperation.
I will sell 30% of the shares to Marvel. Including cash investment, I want 20% of their shares and some of the copyrights that cannot be used. They can open the price at will. Judging from Marvel's current market value and operating conditions, they cannot refuse.
Mitsui Dongyue nodded. Under normal circumstances, if you acquire it, you will not sell too many shares to you based on market value. If this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, there is indeed a high probability of achieving it by means of shares plus cash.
Although Mitsui Dongyue didn't know how much money Wu Mingxuan had, it was definitely not just so much on the surface. This guy really made a lot of money this time. Who told him to calculate almost the entire process of the subprime mortgage crisis? The name of the Asian stock god was not hyped up by himself.
