The boss of DG, the famous tycoon Mike Miller of New York. He was known as the first person to create imaginative superhero comics. Although comics and movies had been criticized in recent years. Especially after the emergence of Li Jie's Marvel Entertainment, DG comics were at a disadvantage in all aspects.
Especially in movies. Marvel Entertainment's previous "Iron Man" was a huge success. And the huge success of this movie inevitably caused the media to drag out the "Midnight Snack vs. Herberlon" that DG Comics had previously invested a huge amount of money to film.
The production cost of that movie alone was as high as 200 million dollars, plus 120 million dollars in global publicity and distribution. The total cost was as high as 330 million dollars, and in the end, the global box office only received more than 600 million dollars, which could be said to be just breaking even.
During that time, Midnight Snack and Herberlon were dragged out to be bitches countless times. They were all bitches. This movie had a lot of investment, but it was exceptionally bad. Especially the reason why Midnight Snack and Herberlon fought was even more nonsense. Because their mother's name was Martha.
So the movie had a subtitle: "Midnight Snack vs. Herberlon: Their mother is Martha." In the end, Iron Man had a production cost of 150 million dollars, but it made 1.1 billion dollars in global box office, beating Midnight Snack and Herberlon up.
It could be said that Marvel Entertainment and DG Comics were enemies to a certain extent. Although Li Jie had read a lot of DG comics before, DG had indeed been going downhill in the past two years. Many people said that it was because the head of DG Comics, the chief artist and scriptwriter, Mike Miller, had run out of talent.
But no matter what, DG Comics was also a childhood memory of this world for Li Jie. Midnight Snack and Herberlon had accompanied him for many, many years.
So when he walked into the headquarters of DG Comics, Li Jie felt a little uncomfortable. Especially when there was a five-meter-tall bronze statue of Herberlon in front of the headquarters building of DG Comics. Li Jie couldn't help but take a few more glances and think to himself: Does this person really exist?
In fact, compared to Li Jie's uneasiness, all the employees of DG Comics were even more uncomfortable today. Because they were actually going to welcome the boss of a rival company to visit today! It was ridiculous, but it really happened.
It was ridiculous for them to say that they had to welcome him. However, he still had to do what he had to do. He wondered why his boss would agree to the visit of the Marvel Entertainment Group's boss and seemed to be very enthusiastic about it.
In the beginning, DG Comics didn't see Marvel Entertainment as a competitor because it was an old company that had existed for decades. The new Marvel Entertainment could not compare to their assets and channels.
But no one thought that Marvel Entertainment would inflate like a balloon in just a few years. He began to crush DG in the comics business. Now, although DG still occupied five of the top ten best-selling comics publications in the United States, the funny thing was that these five publications were either Nightingale's personal publications or extended publications.
The others, such as Herberlon and the beautiful superwoman, were all outside the top 20.
And Marvel Entertainment occupied all the places from sixth to twentieth place. Because the beautiful superwoman's previous movie was a hit, she stood at 21st place.
It could be said that DG Comics was now filled with a sense of crisis, feeling that Marvel Entertainment could overturn their company at any time. In particular, Marvel Entertainment had now obtained the exclusive right to supply the Earth's specialties to the Nova Corps. Right now, countless people were circling around Li Jie's butt, hoping to get Li Jie's order.
In addition, Marvel Entertainment had begun to put a lot of effort into the movie. Iron Man II was filming, Spider-man's filming was coming to an end, and the response from the few auditions was extraordinary. Even Li Jie planned to restart the Captain America movie series. However, because of the previous reconciliation with the military, the copyright of the name Captain America still belonged to the US military.
The copyright name that Li Jie and the others could use was Captain Steve Rogers, but this should not affect the movie's sales.
It could be said that Marvel Entertainment was advancing by leaps and bounds in all aspects, while DG felt like it was making no progress.
All the employees of DG Comics had mixed feelings when a little brother of the pugilistic world that they had looked down upon suddenly became a big brother of the pugilistic world, and even stepped into their territory.
However, compared to the complicated feelings of the employees, the boss of DG Comics, Mike Miller, seemed to be in a good mood when he saw Li Jie. He had neatly combed white hair, not a single strand out of place. He wore a decent three-piece black suit, and even in the summer, he maintained the appearance of a suit and leather shoes. He really had the style of an old-school gentleman.
"Welcome, Jason Li, or can I call you Li Jie?" Mike asked with a smile.
"Just call me Li Jie." Li Jie also smiled.
"Marvel Entertainment is developing very well now. I really didn't think that you would want to meet me. Meet an old man like me who has run out of ideas. What would you like to drink? I only have alcoholic drinks here, brandy, champagne? "Mike Miller laughed at himself.
"Champagne." Li Jie chose a drink with a lower alcohol content. He had forgotten that the last time he drank too much champagne, and then the system disappeared when he woke up.
"Actually, I grew up reading DG Comics. Herberlon, Night Owl, they are all my childhood heroes. So I also want to express some respect to you. "Li Jie flattered.
"But old heroes will always be replaced by new heroes." Mike Miller shrugged indifferently. "Now people don't watch Herberlon. Everyone is talking about Iron Man or something. Look at the sales of Iron Man's toys. His toy sales alone have crushed the sum of all the superheroes under me! "
Yes, this was the truth. Because Iron Man's Iron Man armor was always updated, and often changed colors. This allowed the toy factory to always have new products. Then there were different ratios of 1: 4, 1: 6, 1: 9, 1: 12 and so on. There were also alloy, semi-alloy, plastic, Poly Dragonstone statues and so on.
There were more than hundreds of authentic Iron Man armor toys on the market. How many toys could Herberlon produce? It couldn't be compared. Those who could afford to play with Iron Man toys were all local tycoons.
Li Jie just said indifferently to Mike's words, "There's no other way, because heroes like Iron Man really exist. They are in this world, so they are more popular. "
Li Jie said casually, "If Herberlon was also a real person, I guess he would be as popular, or even more popular. Don't you think so? Mike. "
