Chapter 59 Little Spider Debuts
"Harry, first time meeting, I didn't expect you to be interested in Batman movies."
Looking at the rich second generation in front of him, Anton never expected that this guy who had nothing to do with the film industry would come to him after getting the news.
Harry Osborne.
The second generation of Green Devil, the son of Norman Osborne.
Of course, Harry and Peter are now the same age as high school students, and they are still childhood friends and have a close relationship.
"I'm a Batman fan. When I heard that DC was preparing to film the second part of Batman, I volunteered to come."
At this time, Harry looked a little bit green. He smiled and said, "Anton, I already know your request from Jim. I am willing to pay 50 million in dividends, which should be the largest among the investors you are currently in contact with, right?"
The planned production cost of "The Dark Knight" is about 180 million yuan, and Harry's 50 million yuan only accounts for 25% of the dividends, which is a lot of concessions. It is called generous and worthy of being the son of Osborne.
"Yes, you are the biggest one."
Anton nodded without saying anything, and reached out to him: "I accept your investment, and I'll be happy in cooperation!"
Harry said: "Wait, I have another condition, or a small request."
"What?"
Anton looked at him with a frown slightly.
"I want a Batman autograph." Harry showed a rare hint of shyness, "I just said that I am a Batman fan."
"Ah..." Anton was a little embarrassed.
"Don't refuse, Anton, I know you can definitely contact Batman, this is the secret that everyone knows." Harry said, "If there is only one person in this world who knows Batman's true identity, then this person must be you."
"Okay, deal." Anton shrugged.
"Very good."
Harry smiled: "Thank you, Anton."
Seeing Harry's youthful appearance, Anton's heart moved, thinking that he might as well catch a sheep and get rid of it, too lazy to continue looking for investors.
Anyway, the two movies, "Cylinder" and "Superman", probably won't treat Harry badly after it is made.
"For Batman's signature, Harry, are you interested in our other two films?"
Anton smiled slightly, hugged Harry's shoulders, and began to introduce him to DC's ambitions.
A grand blueprint slowly unfolded before Harry's eyes.
Two hours later.
Harry left the DC company downstairs of the Horn Daily in a daze, and inexplicably spent 100 million more, with a total of 150 million.
Anton smiled and sent him away, lamenting that Osborne is rich.
Harry Osborne, a high school student, made some investments casually and could squander 150 million without anyone’s consent.
Isn't this a praising saying that it's inhumane?
However, Anton did not cheat anyone. He was indeed very optimistic about the return rate of "Cylinder" and "Superman", just like he was optimistic about "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" that would make him a big profit. The two are the same concept.
Harry is not a fool. Although Anton's words are extremely bewitching, the former is only decisive when he sees an opportunity.
Most importantly, Norman Osborne once praised Anton in front of him.
Based on his trust in his father, Harry invested the largest investment in his life so far, an astonishing 150 million yuan.
The three movies received 50 million investments respectively.
With the preliminary budget of 500 million yuan for three movies, the funds introduced from the outside have solved the budget of 30%. I will pay another 200 million yuan and introduce additional funds for the remaining 150 million yuan. This allocation seems quite reasonable.
Anton still has some money left to promote the development of the entertainment industry such as novels, comics, and even animation, including the "Marvel Starting Network" plan that he has always wanted to complete.
It's simply perfect.
After this talk, I had another conversation with Jim, who was far away in Los Angeles.
Jim was very happy to get the news.
After DC was established, the first development plan that had just begun was able to be linked to Osborne. Jim felt more and more that he had made the right decision.
A giant company like Osborne can benefit a lot from becoming an investor in movies, and all hidden benefits can make people full.
New York.
Anton walked out of DC company, went up one floor, and came to the Kwon Daily, which was only separated by the first floor.
After he established the DC company, he rented the floor downstairs of the Knight Daily.
The company and newspapers are put together to facilitate management.
"Anton, have you heard of a Spider-Man in Queens recently?"
Eddie looked at the manuscript handed over by the reporters under her hands, and looked strange, as if he had thought of something.
"Little Spider, you probably won't forget it?"
He said to Anton a little unnaturally, "The little spider who was catching Jin and helped you that night."
"Of course I remember, why, he made his debut in Queens?"
Anton answered.
He actually said that, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.
Queens, Spider, who else can there besides Peter Parker?
Thinking of that night, Spider-Little Screw said that he was a fan of Batman, Anton was a little proud.
"We just had a meeting to discuss, and the front page of tomorrow's newspaper will be Spider-Man."
Eddie said again: "He has done something recently and is called a good neighbor of New York citizens by our colleagues. It is very popular now, and many people like him."
As he said that, he suddenly gloated: "However, he often snatches work from the police. Now he doesn't like this illegal policeman the most. He probably is not those villains who thieves, but the police."
"Isn't this good? We do big things, and someone will always do small things for us. However, that guy looks too young and needs to exercise more."
Anton thought the little spider was doing well.
Of course, snatching work from the police will indeed attract a lot of dissatisfaction from the police.
Because if the police do nothing, people will never think that the city has committed no crime, they will only think that the police station is incompetent.
For the police alone, Spider-Man's actions will also humiliate them.
They run around every day, maybe nine out of ten things were done, and one thing was snatched from someone to do, and people came to criticize you for being incompetent, which is of course awkward.
"Wait, is this the picture of Spider-Man we took?"
When Anton looked through the manuscript and the attached photos, he found that most of them only took the side and the angle was ugly. It was rare that some of the fronts were blurred shots and could not be used as the front page of the newspaper.
"These are all taken by us by retrieving surveillance screenshots. You should know that the kid is swinging around the skyscrapers, like a real spider. We can't take good-looking photos, we can only use them." Eddie shrugged.
"It would be a bit unprofessional to publish such photos." Anton said with a headache.
"But if we don't publish photos, we will seem even more unprofessional." Eddie said.
"Is it not possible to use Kim Bing's photos that night before?" Anton asked.
"Is that photo different from these? Besides, it has been used, which makes us feel like we can't get new photos and will be ridiculed by our colleagues, Anton." Eddie refused.
When Anton heard this, he thought of the little spider's depressed appearance that night, and he was speechless.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
There was a knock at the door, and Phil Urik pushed the door and walked in, followed by a young man with a tender face and a slightly thin figure.
Phil said: "Editor, boss, this kid said he has some exclusive photos of Spider-Man, and asked if we need it."
Chapter completed!
