The brother Jade Wei Deng, who is mainly screenwriter among the taillight brothers, is very unopined about the original setting of "S.H.I.E.D." and said: Jack's setting is too exaggerated. It is completely based on the strength ceiling that can appear on the earth. If we do it like before, we will not be his opponent.
Kevin naturally also knew the setting issues. The Divine Spear Bureau itself was earlier than SHIELD. SHIELD was specially established to fight against the Divine Spear Bureau, so Kevin deliberately emphasized: But the SHIELD series, as a derivative series, is a very important part of the entire cinematic universe and a very important supplement to our entire Marvel universe.
After Kevin finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Stan and Li and Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac with the taillights. Isaac thought for a while and said: SHIELD itself does not have a special comic, so we might as well have a brand new series and directly strengthen it. We cannot fall behind too much. We must establish our own hierarchy system and cannot be as general as before.
If it were Marvel before, he would definitely not be able to do so drastic in the face of financial difficulties. However, they now have the billion dollars invested by Wu Mingxuan. It can be said that Marvel is the richest funding in history and is not short of money at all. Naturally, they can be more radical and bold.
At the same time, Isaac also thinks this is a good opportunity. Marvel has not launched a new series for a long time. Originally, they didn’t think there was anything to write about S.H.I.E.L.D., but now they find that such relevant departments have a lot of articles to do. Didn’t they see Wu Mingxuan playing with?
Now Isaac and Kevin no longer think that Wu Mingxuan is a sucker who knows nothing. It is obvious that others know this very well, and even discovered many unpopular copyrights that you seriously ignore. For example, the originally useless Divine Spear Strike, was instantly played by others.
Kevin brought up Sony's suggestion at this time, which was to join forces with them to develop the Marvel version of Spider-Man, and then link up related movies later, and even use very low authorized prices to make a guest appearance in Marvel's subsequent movies. If you sign, you can accept a long-term contract of up to ten years.
To be honest, this contract is very attractive. The most important thing is that Sony Pictures intends to ask Wu Mingxuan to direct the first of the trilogy himself, and contact some popular Japanese serialized comics in comics weekly. It is obvious that the two sides have had contact with each other before, which is a py transaction between them.
Isaac is naturally very interested in this project. If DC's number one player is Batman, then Marvel's number one player must be Spider-Man. Spider-Man is also the most famous superhero among all superheroes with the highest cumulative box office.
Sony hasn't filmed a Spider-Man movie in three years. According to the copyright restrictions at the time, Spider-Man must be released every five years, so it really takes time to prepare now.
Either work alone or cooperate with them. After all, Wu Mingxuan has already reached a cooperation with them first, so it is impossible to bypass them and Spider-Man.
The local faction led by Sony Pictures Chairman and CEO Mike Linton is not optimistic about Mitsui’s plan, but they can’t come up with better ones for the time being. Instead, they are happy to see that the Japanese faction led by Mitsui’s Toozuki are unlucky and completely lose control of Sony.
It’s not that they don’t want to be tougher, but that Sony Pictures’ performance in recent years is indeed very hot under their leadership. The other giants can make more or less money, but only Sony Pictures is losing money every year. It’s obvious that there are problems and tricks in this.
But the accounts still seem to be fine, so it’s not impossible to change the management team. You have to prove your ability. If you are not better than us professional managers, then I’m sorry, we don’t want to abdicate and give in, and you can’t force us to make concessions. This is Hollywood, not Japan.
Miss Dongyue, Marvel has already responded. They originally intended to come to us to discuss the details of the cooperation!
Then we will make an appointment tomorrow morning. By the way, has the sales volume of that comic weekly been counted in various places?I want to know the detailed data, which is very important!
Mitsui Dongyue's secretary immediately contacted the assistant who was responsible for counting these data, and asked him to immediately classify and summarize, and then hand it over to let Miss Dongyue take a look.
About 20 minutes later, Mitsui Dongyue finally got the sales statistics for the first three periods from her assistant.
The first phase has been on the market for more than half a month, and the latest third phase has only been on the market for less than three days. I have to say that the frequency of release is a bit terrible, so I need the support of some other high-quality copyrights.
The highest sales volume is naturally Greater China. Including the SIPG and Taiwan region, the first issue number reached an astonishing 6.5 million copies, the second issue was 5.3 million copies, and the third issue currently has 3.5 million copies.
Simply put, based on the final sales volume of a whole month (which will be recycled in more than one month), the sales volume of each issue can basically exceed 6 million, and it will increase slowly. There is a possibility of more than 10 million copies in the later stage. It is really scary to have this pricing, and the cost of getting the copyright is too low, which has a huge advantage in the early stage.
The second highest sales volume is the Japanese and Korean markets, among which the sales volume of the first phase of South Korea exceeded 700,000 copies, and the sales volume of Japan reached 1.1 million copies. Among them, Mitsui Dongyue and Li Wanji both helped a lot, otherwise it might be difficult to achieve half of it.
Finally, there is the North American market. The sales volume of the first issue currently exceeds 500,000 copies, and the final potential should be close to one million copies.
Because Wu Mingxuan did not get a low-priced copyright in the market other than China, he had to give a considerable portion of it to the copyright owner. Naturally, there was no way to be very cheap in terms of price. It was priced at about 40 yuan, which was nearly twice the price of "Young Jump".
Although these places have stronger consumption capacity and higher income, others have more choices. You have read some of the previous content, so naturally many people won’t buy it. Therefore, overseas sales are not high, and you can’t make much money. You are all doing it at a loss. The loss in each issue exceeds one million US dollars.
However, Wu Mingxuan made a great profit in the mainland. He could make about three million US dollars in each issue, so he made a normal profit overall. Otherwise, he would slowly give up the overseas market and change to the mainland market as the main one.
Kevin naturally also knew the setting issues. The Divine Spear Bureau itself was earlier than SHIELD.
