Chapter 414 Pre-IPO Preparations
"Gentlemen, what you have said about the company's future development is very good. I hope we can achieve the final goal!" Cole said to the participants with extraordinary bearing. Mature!
Through the glass, Bruce looked at the people who were about to end the meeting with a smile. Among them was Peter Jackson, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and even more surprising to Bruce was JK Rowling!
In the previous agreement, although Bruce gave Rowling some administrative power, Rowling rarely appeared in the board of directors!
Now, seeing the appearance of a few of them, I couldn't help being secretly surprised!
"Wow, look!" As soon as he walked out of the office, Cole saw the smiling Bruce, and then he turned his head to look at the people behind him in surprise.
"Bruce, you are really amazing!" Peter Jackson strode towards him, and then expressed his welcome to him with a hug!
"Hello, Peter!" Bruce patted Jackson's back lightly and said to him with a smile.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and you are still the same!" Peter Jackson saw Bruce's appearance, subconsciously looked at his fat belly, and was filled with emotion!
"Hello, beautiful lady!" After exchanging pleasantries with Jackson, Bruce walked towards Rowling with a smile!
"It's so amazing to meet you!" Rowling and Bruce said with a smile.
"Haha, you know where my focus is, I don't want to disrupt the company's order!" Bruce said pointedly, and then looked at Avi Arad, who was wearing glasses and smiling on his face .
"Hello, Avi!" Bruce walked towards him with a smile. For the president of Marvel Comics, he admired all that Allard had done before!
"Mr. Bruce, you are still so young and handsome!" Arad shook hands with him with a smile, and then said: "For Marvel Comics, I feel very good to be able to join the family of Marvel Entertainment!"
"Thank you for your understanding!" Bruce said with a smile, then looked at several people in turn, and suddenly had an idea in his heart!
"Sir and ladies, if possible, I would like to delay everyone's time. Do you have any time?"
Bruce's words made several people feel a little puzzled. After nodding their heads one after another, they returned to the meeting room one after another!
As the biggest controller of Miracle Entertainment, Bruce owns as much as 60% of the company's shares. Even though Cole and the others don't think Bruce is a dictatorial boss, his words still have a very powerful effect!
Seeing everyone sitting down one after another, Bruce said with a serious expression: "For the development of the company, I only put forward my suggestions, and the detailed planning needs to be done by you!"
Bruce's words made everyone else feel a little surprised, and they couldn't help guessing what he was doing again!
"Amazing Comics, as a member of the newly joined Marvel Entertainment family, we should be more active in developing those exciting superheroes. In order to protect our own rights and interests, I will let go of all rights, no matter what you do, In addition to the difficulty of recovering the copyrights of the "Spider-Man" series and "X-Men" series, other authorized characters, whether they have not been filmed or are being negotiated, all copyrights must be transferred to the account of Miracle Entertainment. I don't want to see Which superheroes will appear in other companies in the future!"
"Wow!~"
Everyone in the conference room couldn't believe Bruce's words.
Previously, due to the great success of the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series, film giants such as Disney, Sony, and 20th Century Fox have offered generous bargaining chips for Marvel Comics. If you hand it over to them, it will bring irreparable benefits to Miracle Entertainment!
In particular, the first two works only brought Marvel Comics less than 2 million US dollars in box office revenue, which made Marvel Comics a direct joke in the United States!
Of course, with their own production capabilities, they simply don't have the strength to make such an expensive movie!
"Mr. Bruce, have you ever thought about how much money we will spend if we take back all the copyrights?" Although Avi Arad was very grateful for Bruce's words, the reality had to calm him down!
"Fund?" Bruce smiled playfully. Judging from their current assets and liquidity, if they win the contracts signed by other companies that year or are about to be signed, judging from the current market situation, 5 million US dollars is already the largest. Quota is up!
Except that the contracts of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are about to expire in 2018 and 2016, the copyrights of "Captain America", "Fantastic Four", "Thor" and so on are still under negotiation!
Therefore, even if these negotiations are unilaterally stopped, Miracle Entertainment will lose several million dollars in liquidated damages.
The bulk of the 5 million US dollars was basically spent on the recovery of copyrights such as "Iron Man" and "Hulk"!
"If the news I've heard is accurate, with our current financial report and the influx of cash flow, we already have the most basic conditions for listing, so..."
What Bruce said made others stunned. Once listed, these shareholders of Miracle Entertainment will get a shocking net worth!
Now that Miracle Entertainment is gradually opening up larger international channels, once they go public, the value of each shareholder will increase geometrically!
"I decided to set up Miracle Entertainment Multimedia Group!!" Bruce's serious appearance made everyone see his domineering side!
Afterwards, amidst the excited discussions among everyone, Miracle Entertainment gradually entered into the pre-listing planning!
In a suite in the headquarters, Bruce rubbed his brows wearily.
"Damn it, I don't want to see those classic characters, after the movie is made, it will be the logo of other companies!" Bruce showed a fierce face, and every time he thought that films such as "Iron Man" would eventually fall into the hands of Paramount, Sony and other companies, he would I felt aggrieved for a while!
With the current strength of Miracle Entertainment, coupled with the great success of the two films "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings", it is not a big problem to shoot superheroes with strong sci-fi colors. What is missing is only Some digital prowess like 3D special effects!
The next day, when Avi Arad brought a shocking news, Bruce wanted to kiss the old guy hard!
After the meeting ended yesterday, Allard returned to his home excitedly like a child. Thinking of the plan proposed by Bruce, he suddenly thought of the two founders of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Because Stan Lee himself sold all his copyrights to Marvel Comics, there is basically no dispute over his copyrights!
And Jack Kirby is a little different, because he had a disagreement with Stan Lee before, which led him to join DC Comics. Although he returned to Marvel again in the end, some copyrights of his works are still in his hands!
Therefore, after Avi Arad spent 200 million US dollars and the sincerity he brought, Jack Kobe's family readily agreed to resell all the copyrights in their hands to Miracle Entertainment!
After getting this news, Bruce excitedly summoned Cole and others, and held a grand banquet under their puzzled looks!
"Haha, in 2018, the X-Men are waiting for me to take you back!!" Bruce, who was slightly drunk, felt indescribably refreshed when he thought of that wonderful feeling!
After the death of Jack Kobe, according to the provisions of American law, his children and family members directly enjoy part of the copyright of his lifetime.
Once his family members have the right to take back their own copyrights after the contracts of the previous authorized works expire, Marvel Comics can also completely take back all the copyrights of these blockbuster movies!
Therefore, Avi Arad's approach gave Bruce a great surprise. He still remembers how distressed the companies that own the film and television copyrights were when Disney acquired Marvel Comics!
The next day, rubbing his aching head, Bruce woke up in a daze!
He opened his eyes, and immediately saw a large glass of water on the bedside table.
He stretched out his hand to touch it, and after finding that the water cup still gave off a warm feeling, he subconsciously looked towards the faint footsteps!
"Honey, are you feeling better?" Charlize Theron said to Bruce with a sweet smile in a home suit.
"Oh, damn it, am I dazzled?" Bruce rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looking at Charlize Theron who was still slowly walking towards him, his unbelievable eyes suddenly softened!
"Hehe, why are you so surprised?" Charlize Theron walked to the head of the bed, picked up the water glass, handed it over, and slowly kneaded Bruce's head!
"Gudu, Gudu!"
Feeling very uncomfortable after being drunk, Bruce didn't care much, feeling Charlize Theron's gentle handling, he drank heavily!
"Sorry, dear, I neglected you during this time!" Putting down the water glass, Bruce gently squeezed Charlize Theron's hand, and said apologetically.
"Hehe, am I still the same?" Charlize Theron kissed Bruce's forehead indifferently, and said to him with a smile.
Clearly feeling the woman's love and understanding, Bruce held her face gratefully, and said affectionately: "I. Love you!~"
Hearing these three words, Charlize Theron's eye circles suddenly turned red, and then she kissed Bruce's lips heavily!
