Chapter 58 The Surprising Investor
"In recent days, Jin Bing was arrested and the gangster empire collapsed. I thought this storm had nothing to do with Stark Industry, but I didn't expect that someone at the top of the company secretly colluded with Jin Bing... In short, I have dealt with this matter seriously, and the official has intervened. Please rest assured and believe Stark Industry..."
Obadai Stein has a serious expression and a righteous face.
He explained the recent internal investigations about Stark Industry in the recent period to the cameras of major media.
In these words, Obadai completely separated his relationship with Jin Bing.
Even if someone comes out and says that the person who colludes with Kim is Obadai, maybe not many people will believe it.
Unless evidence can be produced that others cannot refute.
However, no one can show evidence.
In the original plot, SHIELD would rather search for Tony Stark in the desert of Afghanistan for several months, but failed to start with Obadai Stan and find some clues about Tony.
Doesn’t this prove how difficult Obadai Stein is?
"It seems that Obadai has noticed that some relevant departments are targeting him!"
Seeing this, Anton thought to himself.
He searched for the name of the unlucky guy who was introduced to the crime and found that this guy was Obadai's senior assistant, who had considerable power in Stark Industry, and was Obadai's capable subordinate.
This time, Obadai can also be said to be a hero who cut off his arm.
"...It's better to leave this guy to Tony back and solve it."
Anton shrugged and turned off the TV.
He is very busy now.
Anyway, Tony Stark has been missing for nearly a month. According to the plot in his memory, there are only two months left at most. Tony Stark will naturally stage the return of the king.
At that time, Tony Stark should make a comeback and call him Iron Man.
Obadai is a very old fox, which is very difficult to deal with. Anton has other plans recently and does not plan to get into it.
After a change of thought, he saw Betty coming to him.
"Anton, Batman is about to be released in one week."
Betty said: "So far, Batman's local box office is 470 million, overseas box office is 380 million, and the global box office is 850 million. In the remaining week, it will almost reach 880 million."
"If I remember correctly, there are still some countries that have not been released, right?" Anton asked.
"good."
Betty nodded and was vaguely excited: "When the global screenings are completely over, it may really reach a global box office of 1 billion. Such results can completely squeeze into the annual box office record of global movies. Anton, you have been regarded as the Person of the Year by Hollywood. I have received a lot of party invitations about you. Do you want me to agree one by one?"
At the end of the conversation, the tone turned plain.
"Uh, really? A party in New York can be considered..."
Anton's eyes lit up. He has been bored for a long time recently.
As he said that, when he saw Betty's eyes were cold, his heart was cold, and the tone turned sharply: "Cough, I still can't. I'm very busy lately. You know, I'm going to talk to Jim about my next movie tonight."
"Next movie?"
Next to him, Eddie's eyes lit up: "Are you going to film Batman's second part?"
Anton smiled mysteriously: "No, it's a new film, a new superhero story."
"New superhero?"
Eddie wondered.
He was indeed surprised that he didn't shoot the Batman series that was sure to make money, but he actually went to shoot a new superhero film. Perhaps this is the thinking of the rich.
night.
Anton meets Jim and talks about the next movie.
Jim was also surprised to hear that he was not ready for Batman. After all, he was ready to set up the crew to shoot Batman's second part before he came.
Now Batman is the hottest superhero in the United States, and is so famous that he is comparable to Hollywood superstars. Moreover, Batman is very mysterious in the eyes of the public. The movie seems to reveal the origin of Batman. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the second part.
Andon didn't even take pictures?
Jim was so angry that he wanted to throw the chair, and it took him a while to calm down.
Because he understood what Anton meant.
Anton was not going to take a photo, and did not say that he would not allow anyone to take a photo.
You know, although Anton is the director of Batman's first film, the replacement shooting will not greatly affect the commercial value of Batman.
It would be better to say that Anton's second original film is more likely to spark discussion.
I don’t shoot a series of money-making movies, but I just want to continue the original path!
The pride of genius is hard to understand.
In fact, Anton is already a recognized genius director in Hollywood. If this kid succeeds again, it means that DC company has gained another gold medal.
Jim no longer stopped it.
The two of them discussed for a long time and determined DC's next plan for film.
Jim set out to find investors and prepare for the crew.
Of course, he has a huge workload because there are as many as three crews to prepare.
In other words, DC has three current film plans, and they are all big investments.
One is "Batman: The Dark Knight"; the second is "Cylinder" in Anton's second film in his life, "Cylinder", and the third is "Superman".
Jim knew that he did not have the ability to convince Anton, and he knew that Anton now had the capital to try and error, so he let the latter do his job. Anyway, he just did a good job in logistics.
Soon, the preparations for the three crews were successfully completed.
During this process, Browning also handed over the movie scripts of "Cylinder" and "Superman" to Anton early.
As for the second part of Batman, the script for "The Dark Knight", he had written a long time ago.
It is worth mentioning that the serialization of Batman's second novel "The Dark Knight" has started to be launched on the Horn Daily Text Forum yesterday. Soon, the stories of heroes including Superman, Cyborg, Flash and other heroes will also be gradually launched within next week.
Only investors have become a huge problem in Jim's hands.
As we all know, superhero films require a lot of scenes and a lot of special effects, and the investment in any movie is more than 100 million. In the preliminary budget, the two movies Batman and Cyborg alone will have a total investment of more than 300 million yuan. Including Superman, at least 500 million yuan will be the foundation.
This is a beauty!
Although Anton is rich, he is not a rich man of Tony Stark. He can get $500 million in one go without frowning.
After all, the major companies under the Jameson family have professional managers to manage them, and he has no reason to draw funds from these companies for his own use, which does not comply with the regulations.
The working capital that Anton can use is entirely a big deal, and the first box office dividend after the release of "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow". In addition, the theaters still owe hundreds of millions of dollars, but he can't urge it because it is the norm in the industry.
Slow payment collection is a problem that all businessmen will encounter.
Besides, even if Anton has money, he will not make a profit alone with such a large investment.
Wouldn’t it be nice to use the remaining money to open up other channels?
You know, movies are just the big heads that earn fans and are not the only source.
Moreover, Anton fooled Tony to invest money before because no one was optimistic about it, and his own money was not enough.
Now it is different. As a Hollywood genius director, he holds a super IP like Batman who can make money without losing money. Countless people have already waving money to chase his butt.
The problem is that the two projects "Cylinder" and "Superman" have too much investment, and not many of them have the courage to join.
As for the few who are bold, Anton also needs to screen.
He doesn't want money from anyone.
It was not until someone got the news that Jim came to the door that the investment problem was solved.
Chapter completed!
