Chapter 754： Wanted

Mark Miller couldn't help blushing, and coughed dryly: "Mr. Walker, you are the big boss..."

Tang En waved his hand, "The big boss has no reason to invest in the enemy."

Mark Miller nodded and asked hesitantly, "What do you need me to do?"

It's a deal, you can talk slowly.

For Mark Miller, if he can quickly remake "Wanted" into a movie and release it smoothly, then his comic company can develop steadily.

This is the top priority!

The popularity of the "Wanted" comics gave Mark Miller the confidence to move from behind the scenes to the front desk.

If the movie is made, it will be really proud!

This is a movie that Dunn Walker personally pays attention to!

In the past seven or eight years, all the films, TV dramas and variety shows that Tang En participated in personally have all failed!

So, as long as the price paid is not too high, Mark Miller is willing to accept it.

We must shoot "Wanted Order" as soon as possible!

Tang En looked at him with a cautious look, a little funny, and shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating tiger, and I will definitely not make some excessive conditions."

Mark Miller breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang En said: "Mark, I have always recognized your level of comics. I am also looking forward to your Miller World Comics Company. You must have seen it. I am very interested in comics and TV shows. It's the Avengers movies, or the Walking Dead TV series."

Mark Miller seemed to understand something, "So..."

Tang En took over the words and said with a smile: "So, I hope to get the priority of the film and television adaptation of Miller World Comics!"

The main business strategy of Miller World Comics is to co-publish with a variety of different comic companies, so as to obtain greater benefits from the competition, rather than binding a partner.

Dunn's intention is very clear, you can give the comics to different publishers for distribution. However, please keep the adaptation rights of film and television works, at least... keep the priority and leave it to New Universal.

"This……"

Mark Miller hesitated.

The coverage of Dunn's sentence is too large.

This is the priority for all future film and television adaptations of comics.

Who knows whether the future Miller World Comics will grow into a Big Mac?

Tang En smiled: "It's just priority, competition still exists. It won't harm your interests."

"Give me some time to think about it."

"If 'Wanted' were made into a movie, the production cost...would be no less than $80 million."

"This……"

Mark Miller was hesitant, and really couldn't decide right away.

Dunn continued to bewitched: "In this movie, I will strongly invite Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to act."

Angelina Jolie has complained to Dunn many times, and they haven't worked together yet.

This is an opportunity.

In the previous life, in 2005, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie collaborated on a "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which was a box office hit after its release.

In this life, the project of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was snatched away by Dunn early, and Luc Besson was arranged to be the director, and Mel Gibson and Sophie Marceau starred.

Even better!

If the "Wanted Order" project can be successfully established, even if this layer of cause and effect is returned, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be compensated for a chance.

Sure enough, when he heard the names of these two Hollywood celebrities, Mark Miller's expression was shocked.

Dunn continued: "Mark, you must know that the preparation of a movie is very tedious, and sometimes it may take a year or two. If you really want this movie to be released next year, then you can only make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise Even with my strong push, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the production in such a short time."

Mark Miller took a deep breath. "Really... can you really get Pitt and Jolie to star?"

Dunn said with a smile: "Pitt's situation is still unclear, but Julie is definitely fine! If Pitt has a schedule or some other reason, he can't participate in this project, and the replacement actor will not be too bad. "

"Are you going to direct this film yourself?"

"Won't!"

Tang En categorically denied it, and then shook his head amusedly, "Who is the director, does it matter? Mark, you have also participated in the production of some movies, and you must understand the reasoning."

Mark Miller sighed.

Yeah, does it really matter who the director is?

In the past few years, are there still few new directors who have become popular with Tang En?

...

Everything is under control.

Priority is in hand!

Although no contract has been signed yet, does Mark Miller dare to lie to Dunn? There is also the full expectation of "Wanted Order".

Contract issues can be resolved within a few days.

After reaching this agreement, Dunn's layout in the comic circle is considered complete.

In previous lives, with the rise of Marvel Studios, the cinematic universe became a hot concept in Hollywood.

The main source of the concept is from the comics!

Needless to say, Marvel and DC are two giants, incomparable.

However, in the comics circle, there are still three "universes", all equally famous.

One is the Hasbro cosmology based on "Transformers" launched by id Comics, the other is the "Star Wars" cosmology dominated by Dark Horse Comics, and... the Miller world cosmology.

In this life, Tang En invested in Hasbro early, and also grabbed the comic adaptation rights for toys such as "Transformers" and "Special Forces", and handed it over to Marvel for operation and distribution.

Although sales are mediocre, it is not that no one is watching.

Now, Dunn has secured the "Miller World" again, and he has another hole card in his hand.

Later, I will get George Lucas, acquired Lucasfilm, and control the copyright of "Star Wars"...

Then the five comic universes, New Universal will be the fourth!

Only Warner's dc is still floating around.

Comics are IP!

With these intellectual property rights in hand, it is equivalent to building a colorful infrastructure platform for the film and television content of New Universal Group.

The concept of "Miller World Universe" is much less famous than Marvel, DC, Transformers, and Star Wars.

There are only three films produced, "Kick-a-Bian King", "Wanted Order", and "Ace Agent: The Secret Service", and the cosmology has not yet been established, and they are films made by different production companies.

However, don’t forget that the content of film and television is not only movies, but also TV series!

Especially streaming media that is incompatible with mainstream movies and TV.

In the previous life, Netflix once cooperated with Disney and obtained the copyright of Marvel Studios movies, which can be played on-demand in streaming media. The annual rent paid to Disney is $300 million.

Later, the streaming media business became more and more popular, and Disney couldn’t watch it anymore, and had to engage in its own streaming media, so it interrupted the cooperation with Netflix.

After losing Marvel's copyright, Netflix made a major move - spending $260 million to acquire Miller World Comics!

Ambitious to create an original "Miller World"!

Of course, because of Dunn in this life, Netflix and Marvel are a family, and there is no possibility of a fight.

However, get the copyright first.

After a few years, when the time is right, it is also a good choice to let Netflix eat Miller World Comics.

Compete!

The market plates are all that big.

The less you give to others, the more you can enjoy yourself.

In many cases, acquisitions are not for the sake of their own development, but for competitors to see no way out!

After returning to the company, Dunn immediately called Amy Pascal over and asked Universal Pictures to adapt and produce the movie "Wanted" as quickly as possible.

Angelina Jolie didn't have any problems, she didn't even get through the producers, she agreed on the spot and would definitely play.

Brad Pitt has no time to distract himself because of the schedule. He is busy with the pre-promotion of the epic blockbuster "Troy", and then, he has to prepare the film "Babel", and the time cannot be missed.

Tang En was also vague. Anyway, he had given the opportunity, and the other party couldn't grasp it, so he couldn't blame him. I contacted Colin Farrell directly and asked him to play the leading role.

In the early years, Dunn and Leonardo often attended various carnival parties, and Colin Farrell was often seen at parties.

The two also have a good friendship.

This time, when I have the opportunity, I can help him.

As for the director of the film... Dunn will call and contact him personally.

"The opportunity is here, sci-fi action movie your favorite genre, do you want to try it?"

On the other end of the phone was J.J. Abrams.

A talented filmmaker, he was envious of the life circumstances of Christopher Nolan and Zach Snyder. At a young age, he was able to meet Bole's support like Tang En, and got the opportunity to show his talents.

Although later, he also met Dunn and filmed three episodes of the big-budget American drama "Warcraft".

However, there is a big difference between American TV shows and movies.

After receiving Dunn's call, one can imagine the excitement in J.J. Abrams' heart: "Sci-fi action movie? Is it...is it a big production?"

Dunn said: "The production budget should be around $85 million, which is enough for you to show your talent. Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman have been connected, and the cast is strong enough. It's up to you. Do you have the confidence to adapt the cartoon "Wanted Order" well?"

The comics of "Wanted" are very exciting, in fact, they don't need too many plot modifications.

The original "Wanted", a few Hollywood rookies, made a successful work, invested 75 million US dollars, earned 340 million US dollars at the box office, and was a great success.

However, after all, the main creators are newcomers and inexperienced, so they directly made a complete work of the "Wanted Order" series of comics that have a lot of room for development.

Killed the heroine Angelina Jolie.

As a result, the popular and applauded "Wanted Order" has not been able to develop a sequel.

The heroine is dead, how to shoot?

Putting the more experienced and capable J.J. Abrams in charge of the project would undoubtedly have been a better outcome. (https:)
