Best of Hollywood

In less than a week, due to the intervention of Citibank, the shareholders of Marvel Comics became active in the stalemate negotiations, and reached an initial acquisition agreement with Orion Pictures in a short period of time.

Orion Pictures will pay a 10% premium as a whole, fully acquire all the assets of Marvel Comics, and retain most of the top management, and will not lay off large-scale employees.

As Marvel Comics is a listed company, Orion Pictures had no choice but to delist it if they wanted to acquire it wholly. The whole process would take a certain amount of time.

At the earliest, we will have to wait until around the spring of next year to complete all the procedures.

As for whether Marvel comics will be listed again in the future, we will have to wait and see. At least before the release of "The Avengers", Ryan will not have this plan.

To this end, Orion Pictures needs to spend 320 million US dollars in one-time acquisition funds. It is the first large-scale acquisition since its establishment. In addition to obtaining Marvel comics, it can also play an exciting role.

The future of Orion Films is by no means limited to the production and distribution business.

Next, in addition to all the shooting plans, a large number of people from Orion Pictures went to work in Marvel Pictures, and injected 50 million US dollars into Marvel Comics to improve channels, improve employee treatment, and prepare for the new "Blade Warrior", "X-Men", "Spiderman" and other comics production.

Among them, "Blade Warrior" is expected to be released in the summer. Marvel Comics needs to cooperate with Orion Pictures' large-scale publicity to produce a new "Blade Warrior" comic in the shortest possible time.

In this regard, the management and employees of Marvel Comics, not only did not have any complaints, but were very excited. They have not been really busy for many years.

Many people are expecting that with the filming and release of "Blade Warrior" and "X-Men", the business of Marvel Comics will definitely undergo major changes in the future.

According to the agreement reached by the two parties, including the "X-Men" in preparation, all the superhero films of Marvel comics will be prepared and shot by Marvel Pictures, and they will exist as a sub-brand of Orion Pictures.

The focus of Orion Pictures is still on conventional film production, and will not involve superhero movies.

The whole process seems to be very simple to say.

In fact, there are hundreds of treaties alone, and the whole process is very cumbersome. In the future, Nancy Utley will probably be stationed in Los Angeles for a long time to handle the many tasks of Marvel Comics.

Jon Fertimer also needs to find time,

Put down the work at hand, come to Marvel Comics, integrate and complement some channels of the two parties, etc., to further expand the influence of Orion Pictures.

All of a sudden, Orion Films became busy, and Ryan was going to buy an office building at the right time to relocate Marvel Films from New York to Los Angeles, while the Marvel Comics headquarters remained in New York.

Of course, these are things for later.

After the acquisition agreement was reached, Ryan did not stay in New York, but left Sofia Coppola behind and returned to Los Angeles alone.

The management of Marvel Studios and Avi Allard are not familiar with the Hollywood film production process. Sofia Coppola needs to stay in Marvel Studios to preside over the superhero movie project until a suitable candidate is found to replace her.

For a candidate like this, the best choice is to tap Warner Bros. corner.

In terms of superhero movies, Warner Bros. is the most familiar one among Hollywood film companies.

However, right now Orion Pictures has a cooperative relationship with Warner Bros., so poaching is somewhat inappropriate, so we can only choose another suitable candidate.

It hasn't been a few years since Ryan bought Orion Films. Many places are not as perfect as some old Hollywood second-tier film companies, and the first large-scale acquisition has won Marvel Comics, one of the two largest comic companies in North America. Senior management Above, avoid some deficiencies.

Fortunately, Orion Pictures has sufficient funds and time to digest the Marvel Comics bit by bit.

Don't look at the $320 million spent on the acquisition of Marvel Comics, and another $50 million in capital injection; but for Orion Pictures, although it is a relatively large amount, it is not the entire net worth.

Even, for Ryan, the total cost of less than 400 million U.S. dollars to win the entire industry of Marvel Comics is much lower than he expected.

The revenue that Marvel Comics can bring in the future is far more than $400 million.

Orion Pictures' unexpected wholly-owned acquisition of Marvel Comics, and the news that Marvel Pictures plans to shoot "X-Men" with capital injection, cannot be concealed at all.

In addition, "Blade Warrior", which is being filmed, is also a superhero movie under Marvel Comics.

It can be said that Orion Pictures' plan to shoot a series of Marvel superhero movies has been announced to the public.

"It has been many years since DC Comics and Warner Bros. jointly created the "Superman" and "Batman" series of films, and finally a Hollywood film company has focused on Marvel Comics."

"Ryan Gosling has already purchased the copyrights of Marvel Comics' superheroes a few years ago, and now Orion Pictures has once again chosen to purchase Marvel Comics as a whole..."

"Orion Pictures' wholly-owned acquisition of Marvel Comics is a new beginning? Or a wrong choice! As we all know, Warner Bros. has suspended the shooting plan of the "Batman" series of films."

There is no doubt that the news of Orion Pictures' wholly-owned acquisition of Marvel Comics was reprinted by many media.

The vast majority of the media are mocking Orion Pictures for not knowing what it means, and spending huge sums of money to acquire Marvel Comics will only bring decline.

As DC Comics, one of the two major comic companies in North America, Warner Bros. first gave up the "Superman" series of films, and then the box office of "Batman" film was not satisfactory, so they had to choose to temporarily freeze the entire series of films.

It is almost equivalent to saying that Warner Bros. chose to give up continuing to shoot superhero films under DC Comics.

But at this time, Orion Pictures chose the opposite of Warner Brothers, spending huge sums of money to acquire Marvel Comics, and preparing to create a superhero movie, which is difficult to be favored by the media.

However, some Hollywood people dare not underestimate the actions of Orion Films.

"Not to mention the filming of "Blade Warrior", it is said that Ryan Gosling intends to direct "X-Men", which is worth pondering for everyone."

"You can look down on Orion Pictures, you can look down on Marvel superhero movies, but you can't ignore the existence of Ryan Gosling, "The Blair Witch", "Saw", "The Evil", "Terminator 3" " and other films, almost every film directed by Ryan Gosling has created an astonishing box office, and "X-Men" must not be underestimated."

"A director who continues to create miracles at the box office, owns Marvel Comics and a host of superheroes, and Orion Pictures will become the most terrifying existence in Hollywood film companies. No one can underestimate Ryan Gosling."

Even the top executives of the seven major film companies publicly stated that they need to be wary of the acquisition of Marvel Comics and Ryan Gosling by Orion Pictures.

In the "Harry Potter" crew far away in London, Greg Silverman looked at the news in the newspaper and fell into deep thought, "Ryan Gosling and Marvel Comics?"

"It seems that Orion Pictures is really planning to shoot a Marvel superhero movie, hoping to succeed."

The more I get to know Ryan Gosling, the more terrifying he is, definitely for an unprepared person.

For example, Orion Pictures is cooperating with Warner Bros. to shoot "Harry-Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Based on the prediction of Warner Bros. professionals, the entire series of films will bring an astronomical income in the future.

Moreover, the most important point is that "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" itself has successively won sales championships in many countries. Warner Bros. is very optimistic about the release results of future films.

So Greg Silverman is very clear that Ryan Gosling and Orion Films will never tell the media that they made the biggest wrong choice, and they must have sufficient plans.

"Once "Blade Runner" and "X-Men" are successfully released, it may not be a good thing for Warner Bros." Greg Silverman's eyes flashed.

Once Ryan Gosling and Orion Pictures prove the promise of superhero movies, Warner Bros. and DC Comics will definitely restart the "Batman" and "Superman" series of filming plans.
