Chapter 301 Marvel Comics(3/3)
More than forty red envelopes represent more than forty children, and if you add adults, there will be hundreds of people.
When no one came again, Cheng Yanqiu asked, "Are there so many people in our family every year?"
Qin Fang smiled and said, "There weren't so many in previous years, but this year is a little different. First, Yu Dong is famous now, and second, you are here."
There wasn’t much money stuffed in the red envelope, it was only one yuan, just for the sake of it. The children came over and took the red envelope from the new wife’s hand, which was a blessing and acquaintance at the same time. Regardless of whether they have met before or not, next year
They are all acquaintances.
Cheng Yanqiu laughed while looking at the red envelope in her hand. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt like she was having a good time. Only then did she have a profound understanding. Marriage is not only a matter between her and Yu Dong, but also between family.
Fusion.
…
It wasn't until the seventh day of the first lunar month, when his relatives were almost gone, that Yu Dong finally had time to open the computer Jimmy left for him.
There is nothing else in this laptop, just the comics collected by Jimmy and the others.
Jimmy thoughtfully created a directory, both in Chinese and English, with a brief introduction to each comic.
Yu Dong flipped to the bottom of the list and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Hey guys, there are 348 comics. If you read them one by one, you will see the years and months of the monkey go by."
However, Yu Dong didn't read them carefully one by one. He just looked at the names of the comics to see if there were any that he was familiar with.
I first looked at the Chinese directory, but I didn’t have any clue. The main reason was that the Chinese translation was too confusing and all kinds of nonsense.
Then he looked at the English directory again, and he found a familiar one after just a few of the English directories.
"Men in Black", translated into Chinese is "Men in Black".
Yu Dong frowned, why didn't he see it in the Chinese directory just now? He turned to the Chinese directory again and found the corresponding entry, only to see "Alien SWAT" written on it.
When he saw this translation, he almost cursed. A literal translation of this name is enough. What kind of trick is it? It's also an alien SWAT, and it smells like a low-budget science fiction movie.
However, the introduction to the comic was pretty good. Yu Dongxun took a look at it. He first read the plot summary to make sure it was indeed the "Men in Black" he thought of, and then looked at the current situation of the comic.
The comic was created in the 1990s, but the response has never been very good. It was first published by Aircel ics, and later the company was acquired by Marbury Comics.
After arriving under the new owner, the comic only lasted for one season and then ceased publication.
Marbury Comics was acquired by Marvel last year.
Marvel has been frantically selling copyrights to raise money in the past few years, but not all of their copyrights can be sold. So when they couldn't sell them, they came up with an idea to buy other comics at low prices and then sell them.
"Men in Black" is one of them. Now Marvel has clearly marked the price of this "comic" and is selling it.
Seeing this, the first thought that came to Yu Dong's mind was that he must buy it.
Then a second idea popped up. Marvel has been selling copyrights in the past few years...
It seems that he has to ask Jimmy how much money the company has now. If possible, he wants to take the rights to adapt these characters into his own hands. After this wave, he will wait for Marvel to reorganize in a few years.
A wave of robbery.
He immediately called Jimmy.
After the call was connected, Yu Dongxian said, "First, take down "Men in Black."
"Man in black?" Jimmy was a little confused.
"It's just a comic in the catalog."
"Oh, there are so many comics, how can I remember the name? Men in Black, right? I've written it down now, and I'll arrange it later."
"Then, try your best to win the adaptation rights of the characters that Marvel has sold and will soon sell." Yu Dong added.
"Marvel?"
"It's Marvel Comics."
Jimmy on the other side of the phone was stunned, "Dong, don't you understand Marvel comics?"
"well enough."
"Dong, Marvel Comics is indeed selling copyrights, but the character adaptation rights they sell are not cheap. If you want to buy one or two, our company can still do it now. If we buy them all...then we will buy the others
Don't do anything - you can't buy it even if you don't do anything."
"How much money can our company make now?" Yu Dong asked.
"More than 20 million US dollars, but I can't all use it to buy the copyright, because I plan to invest in the "Resident Evil" game project. In addition, if "Resident Evil 2" is going to be a movie, we also need to invest. We can't just take it every time.
Click on royalties.”
Yu Dong thought for a while and asked, "What if I give you another three years?"
"Three years." Jimmy thought for a while, "If the development goes smoothly, there will be no problem."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It will go well."
Suddenly, Yu Dong became very interested in making money again. He felt that it would be better to have these entertainment shells in his hands.
