Vol 5 Chapter 1168: Gnaw hard bones

Old Murdoch didn't speak, eating his desserts that didn't contain much sugar. At home, he seemed to have loose skin on his face, but when he looked up, his eyes were still radiant.

"Looking at his arrangement, I obviously want to make a difference in movies. Then, do you think we can make some promises to him on the copyright of the Fantastic Four to increase our bargaining chips?" Mrs. Murdoch proposed .

The copyright of the Fantastic Four is now finally in the hands of Fox. Of course, Marvel can still get a portion of the proceeds from the box office.

"No," Old Murdoch shook his head and said slowly, "I don't think he has so much confidence. When he did those jobs, the Skype competition hadn't started yet. I believe it more. He did that, but it was easy."

"From another angle, it will be easier for us to see that he has done so much for this movie, but he is a super rich man who is dedicated to a young and beautiful Hollywood actress."

"You can understand how attractive a female star like Jessica Alba is to a young man like him,"

Mrs. Murdoch nodded, "It seems to be true,"

Speaking of it, although there are several female elites from China, including her, who have successfully become the wives of some European and American celebrities, but in the pursuit of Hollywood female stars, the former male compatriots are really nothing in this regard. Jianshu, Feng Yiping, maybe this is just trying to prove himself to everyone in all aspects?

"I also don't think he can see this far,"

Objectively speaking, the biggest beneficiaries of the propaganda he helped Alba carry out are indeed Alba personally.

"Then what do you think he will adjust Marvel?"

Murdoch wiped his mouth with a napkin, "The film industry is a very mature industry with its own rules of operation. I believe that with his financial support, Marvel may produce some hit movies on its own."

"But if you imagine what the newspapers in Silicon Valley are clamoring, and hope that he can make any revolutionary changes to this industry, it is a fantasy."

The old Murdoch, who entered the film industry from the original journalism, has a very deep understanding of this.

In the field of film, it is too difficult to make any groundbreaking changes.

"So I am not interested in what he will say at Marvel's first meeting tonight,"

This statement is somewhat contradictory.

If he really said something to Feng Yiping at Marvel’s first meeting tonight, then he should have no idea that Feng Yiping would hold a meeting at Marvel for the first time tonight.

But obviously, like many others, he paid great attention to Feng Yiping's itinerary after arriving in Hollywood.

"There are nothing more than two possibilities. One is to make structural and personnel adjustments. The other is that he will propose some new projects that will help Marvel's development according to his practice."

"This time it's simple, just add Netflix and YouTube, and Marvel's development will speed up immediately,"

"It looks like a company whose revenue this year will not exceed 100 million U.S. dollars." Murdoch shook his head. Like many people, he was only a living Marvel at this time. care.

Otherwise this time, Feng Yiping would not be able to privatize Marvel so smoothly.

He stood up, walked in front of Mrs. Murdoch, and kissed her on the cheek. "What I care more about is our concern for Myspace. He should have known it, but he has no response to this. This is a Question worth pondering, what do you say?"

Although because of NEXTDOOR in front, both in terms of product and influence, Myspace is weaker and better than the original time and space at this time. It is only nestled in the United States, and it is now flourishing in the world. It's a big difference, but in any case, Myspace is always in the social field, a decent opponent Feng Yiping faces in the United States.

If the powerful News Corporation acquires Myspace, then the development of Myspace will conceivably speed up, and it will definitely compete with Feng Yiping for the American social market, but he seems to have no response to this news. This is indeed unreasonable.

"Perhaps he has been too busy lately to pay attention to relevant information," Mrs. Murdoch also wiped her mouth, catching up with her husband walking out.

"Impossible," Old Murdoch shook his head, "They will definitely follow the follow-up of companies interested in Skype."

So, why would he not respond at all to the fact that I wanted to acquire Myspace?

This abnormal situation made old Murdoch, who had a smooth contact with Myspace, hesitated.

…………

In the Marvel conference room, the meeting is still going on. In the eyes of everyone’s expectation and anxiety, Feng Yiping said his first adjustment, “From today onwards, the Marvel film department has become an independent department. Wei’s other businesses have opened up......"

"Papa," the head of Marvel's film department, Palmat's old comrade Arad, stood up and applauded excitedly.

Under his leadership, many executives also applauded.

Establishing an independent film department is what many Marvel people have always wanted to do. Feng Yiping announced such news at the first meeting when he arrived. No wonder everyone was so excited.

Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Feng Yiping also took a few shots, “Whether Marvel continues to be a cow, or to become a Hulk who is helpless even as a superhero, depends on our independent film department, Marvel Pictures’ developed,"

"Feng, you must rest assured," Allard interrupted Feng Yiping's speech loudly.

Feng Yiping nodded, "The independent Marvel Studios will continue to stay in Hollywood. Of course, I suggest that the current headquarters be renovated and expanded to accommodate our more and more employees."

"My ultimate goal is to build our Marvel Studios headquarters into a holy place in the minds of Marvel fans all over the world,"

The applause rang again.

In the hands of Palmat, who is very frugal, such a thing is hard to imagine. The office space only meets basic needs. How can it cost so much extra money?

But they are most concerned about Feng Yiping's positioning of Marvel Pictures.

Although it is split from other Marvel businesses, what is its status? Will it continue to be responsible to Palmat, or directly to Feng Yiping?

This is what the executives headed by Allard are most concerned about at this time.

"Marvel's other business departments, including our roots, the comics department, continue to develop in New York,"

But then Feng Yiping talked about the arrangements for Marvel's other business divisions. Hearing these, Arad was obviously disappointed. Even Palmat gave Feng Yiping a deep look.

"Marvel's toy department will also be the same as before, but in the future we will be in Asia, specifically, in China, building a larger production base,"

His decision made everyone nervous again.

The meaning of this is obviously that it will gradually strip off the production capacity of Marvel's toy department in the United States. It is conceivable that this is a topic that will affect the work of many people.

"Marvel's game department will move from New York to Silicon Valley in the near future," Feng Yiping said of his next decision.

Of course, this is okay, and this arrangement is reasonable.

It is a reasonable arrangement to move the game department to Silicon Valley, where the world's top engineers are gathered.

However, many people took a look at Palmat at this time, which is equivalent to taking the game department away from Palmat. No wonder he looked a little gloomy at first.

"Including comics and toys, all other departments in New York are still in charge of Mr. Palmat," Feng Yiping finally said something more interesting to everyone.

Allard became nervous.

However, it seems that there is nothing to be nervous about, and it seems that the situation can't be more optimistic.

"Some departments that moved to Silicon Valley will eventually achieve the same status as Marvel Pictures, and integrate other existing game development teams in NEXTDOOR to become our main business department in games."

"I am also very optimistic about the future development of the game industry, and I hope that the game department will become another cornerstone of our future development."

In China, Feng Yiping has no idea of ​​getting involved in the game field~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but in the United States, he has no worries about this.

In other words, with so many IPs backed by Marvel, it is a great waste of resources if some games are not developed well?

This is also the reason why he privatized the acquired listed company for the first time. In addition to Marvel’s unsatisfactory revenue, many original shareholders did not have confidence in it, which made this job easier and facilitated his adjustments. It is also the main reason.

If Marvel were still a listed company, such a spin-off would not be so difficult.

Arad felt more relieved when he heard this. Obviously, the game department would not continue to be responsible to Palmat.

That must be the case with Marvel Pictures, which is great!

"The independent Marvel Pictures will report directly to our President Cummins, who is in charge of American affairs,"

Suddenly, there was applause, and the excitement on Arad's face could be seen by a person.

"Next, I announce a personnel appointment,"

Arad, who originally wanted to ask Feng Yiping, also closed his mouth at this time. This is a personnel appointment! This should be about the person in charge of Marvel Pictures, that is, his own personnel appointment. In this way, will he and Palmat be on the same level?

Together with the others, he looked at Feng Yiping expectantly. It happened that Feng Yiping also looked at him, and Arad became excited immediately.

"Because of personal development, Mr. Avi Allard, the former head of the Marvel Studios Department, will leave us and start his own business."

what? Many people are like God at this time, with their mouths widened and looking at Feng Yiping dumbfounded.

Allard stared at Feng Yiping fiercely, then slowly turned his gaze to his old comrades and old friends, "Why?"

As he said these words, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
