Chapter 605 I am responsible for myself
Lin Gao gave Kevin, the CEO, a reassurance, letting him exhale and feel a little more relaxed, but he did not expect that behind Lin Gao, Investment issues will also be mentioned.
After he awkwardly stated the current problems within the company, he saw Lin Gao, who was sitting leisurely opposite, look surprised.
Of course, this surprised expression was deliberately put on by Lin Gao.
In fact, Lin Gao has a clear understanding of the huge changes and internal situations currently facing Marvel.
Know what this is all about.
It’s just that young people nowadays don’t like reading comics anymore.
Marvel is now facing bankruptcy.
I also put all my bets on this "Iron Man" in exchange for possible subsequent success.
However, excluding other expenses, the reserve funds that can be used during the filming period are really small.
Lin Gao deliberately expressed worry and looked surprised.
"Does Marvel have little money now?"
"Yes."
Kevin sighed, then shook his head helplessly, his face Extremely bitter.
“There is nothing we can do about it.”
He said so.
But after hearing this, Lin Gao smiled and said, "No, I don't think 150 million US dollars, or even less, can make a good Marvel movie at all."
"It can't save Marvel at all."
"And this is actually irresponsible for the "Iron Man" IP."
"I can't accept such a small amount. Investment.”
He shook his head and spoke slowly.
These words undoubtedly made Mr. Kevin's face turn red and look ashamed. There was almost a crack in the ground, and he could perform a live performance and get into it.
I’m so embarrassed and so guilty.
Kevin also knows that if such a small amount of money is used to make a movie, the content level of the movie is likely to be greatly reduced.
What Kevin didn't expect was that Lin Gao could point this out very clearly.
Kevin didn't feel angry.
On the contrary, he admired Lin Gao very much.
Such a responsible professional actor deserves to be the top star in Hollywood, and even the top star in the global film industry.
His professionalism has pushed him to this high position.
If I didn’t take movies so seriously, I probably wouldn’t be where I am now.
"This..."
Mr. Kevin's face turned bitter, "This money is already the most we have mortgaged."
"The securities company is not willing to pay any more money. Give it to us.”
Lin Gao maintained his calm on the surface, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
“Isn’t this a coincidence?”
Lin Gao thought so in his heart.
Thanks to the securities companies in North America, they looked down on Marvel, which had not yet developed and was facing difficulties, and was unwilling to give them too much money to make movies.
Wouldn’t this just allow Lin Gao to take the initiative to fund Marvel?
As long as Lin Gao thinks that he can get a foot in the huge IP of Marvel in the future, he will be a little excited and can hardly hide the smile raised at the corner of his mouth and laugh out loud. Come.
But he still controlled himself.
After coughing slightly, he calmed down and spoke with a serious expression.
"Let's do this. I will invest one billion in this movie in the name of the company. Mr. Kevin, please think about it."
"One billion."
Kay Wen paused on the spot, along with the assistant sitting next to him.
The two people looked at each other in disbelief and both exclaimed.
Now that Marvel is strapped for cash, it would be a great blessing to be able to secure an additional investment.
Kevin thought to himself, "What's wrong with that?"
He was so happy.
"Lin, do you mean to invest one billion Chinese coins in this movie?" Lin Gao raised his eyebrows, then shook his head.
"No."
"Ah."
Such exchanges and responses stunned both Kevin and Kevin again.
“It’s not about investing a billion, what does that mean?”
Kevin even felt that his hearing was hallucinating.
"I want to invest one billion US dollars, not one billion Chinese coins."
Very good.
There was dead silence in the entire office.
I can hear my breathing and heartbeat clearly.
You can hear the needle drop.
There was dead silence for half a minute, and then Kevin found his voice. He even choked on his saliva because of his surprise, and his face turned red from coughing.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough."
Lin Wenwen smiled warmly and pointed to the teacup in front of Kevin.
Don't worry, drink a cup of tea first and moisten your throat.
Kevin's trembling fingers fell on the teacup in front of him, he just held the teacup in his hand, picked it up and took a sip.
The fragrant and rich tea enters the throat.
Calmed down his mood slightly.
“My idea is this, I want to acquire Marvel for one billion US dollars, and then invest another 200 million for your shooting plan.”
“ Mr. Kevin, you can think about it carefully."
"I'm not kidding you."
Very good. Kevin, who had calmed down a little after taking a few sips of tea, was shocked again.
His eyes widened in disbelief and his eyes trembled.
He asked with a trembling voice.
“Do you really, really want to do this?”
“You really have to spend one billion to acquire Marvel.”
"But this...Marvel is not worth so much money now."
"Aren't you afraid..."
Aren't you afraid that all the money will be wasted?
Although Kevin was willing to agree with Lin Gao's idea from the bottom of his heart, the two parties signed a contract to sell Marvel to Lin Gao.
But he was a little confused.
Kevin is not a bad person.
I won’t deceive others.
He wants Lin Gao to know that the current Marvel is not worth that much money at all. He spent one billion per dollar to acquire it. If there is a loss, then the one billion will be wasted. .
And what you need to know is that Marvel has sold a lot of valuable IP over the years.
Otherwise, I would not have chosen to film "Iron Man".
You know, "Iron Man" is the second-ranked heroic character in Marvel comics.
These first-class popular characters have been sold by their company in exchange for money.
For example, the Batman film that was filmed before.
We have also sold Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, etc. before.
Lin Gao folded his hands and leaned his body on the sofa in a leisurely manner, crossing his legs and waving his hands indifferently.
"I know what you are going to say Mr. Kevin, but what I want to tell you is that I made this decision after careful consideration."
"You don't need to have any psychological burden."
"I will be responsible for my own decisions."
"And I really like the character of "Iron Man", so I am willing to spend so much money to acquire Marvel. And bought the copyright of "Iron Man"
