Chapter 233 [Spider-Man Universe]

One hundred percent support!
Wang Hao only believed 70% of what Keita Miyamoto said.

Nothing in this world is 100% certain. If the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe planned and designed by Wang Hao faces a major failure, I am afraid that Keita Miyamoto will not really accompany him all the way to the end.

Of course, looking at Keita Miyamoto's situation, Wang Hao will at least have one or two chances of failure. This is much better than many Hollywood directors who will never recover after one failure.

"Since Mr. Miyamoto trusts me so much, I am very willing to accept this challenge."

Wang Hao looked at Keita Miyamoto and nodded with a smile on his face, which was considered as a preliminary agreement for the cooperation.

The reason why it is preliminary is naturally because being the chief planner has to have some benefits.

Of course, they can discuss the specific benefits in detail later. Both parties are still very sincere about the cooperation itself.

When Miyamoto Keita heard Wang Hao's answer, this time he stood up with a smile and stretched out his right hand towards Wang Hao.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!"

Wang Hao stood up and shook hands with him.

"Happy cooperation!"

Howard Bruno and Katsumi Ihara, who witnessed this scene, also smiled. Howard Bruno even said with a smile: "It seems we have to open a bottle of champagne in advance."

Wang Hao waved his hand when he heard this.

"It's a little too early to pop the champagne."

Then he looked at Miyamoto Keita and said:

"Mr. Miyamoto, although I have not yet officially joined the project as the chief planner of the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, I think Sony Pictures will not ignore the suggestions I put forward in this capacity, right?"

Miyamoto Keita nodded, "Of course, Mr. Wang, if you have any requests, just let us know. Sony Pictures will definitely help you with that."

Wang Hao smiled and shook his head.

"It's not to help me, but for the Spider-Man Cinematic Universe. I hope Sony Pictures can count the Marvel comic copyrights that are still scattered around as quickly as possible, and do its utmost to acquire all of them."

"Try your best to acquire it?"

Katsumi Ihara on the side frowned and confirmed again.

"Yes, we will do our best to acquire the copyright, increase the premium, or even acquire the film company that owns the copyright."

"I don't agree!" Katsumi Ihara shook her head.

As the chief financial officer of Sony Group, he certainly knew what Wang Hao's words meant, and that would be a huge expense.

However, the current situation of Sony Group is not as good as outsiders imagine.

Since the millennium, the giant Sony Group has begun to go downhill.

Its main consumer electronics business has been losing money every year, which also led to Sony's first foreign executive director Howard Stringer having to lay off a large number of employees and tighten spending after taking office in order to reverse the downward trend.

During this difficult transition period, it is not a wise move for Sony Pictures to spend a large amount of money to acquire copyrights that do not show any benefits, in his opinion.

However, in the face of Katsumi Ihara's opposition, Wang Hao did not give too much explanation, nor did he argue. He just looked up at Keita Miyamoto, with whom he had just shaken hands.

Keita Miyamoto looked a little embarrassed at this time. He didn't expect that he had just said that he fully supported Wang Hao, but Katsumi Ihara was here to undermine him.

However, the two were both vice presidents of Sony Group, and their status was equal, and the other was in charge of the financial affairs of the group. Even if it was Keita Miyamoto, it was impossible for him to force Katsumi Ihara to give orders. So after hesitating for a moment, Keita Miyamoto proposed a compromise.

"Wang Sang, let's first compile the information of Marvel's scattered comic copyrights and contact the companies that own the copyrights.

After understanding the specific situation, we will decide on the next move. What do you think?"

Howard Bruno on the side was also trying to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, Wang, at least we have to make some preparations. It will take a lot of effort just to mobilize the funds.

And Marvel's copyrights are not so easy to acquire. For example, Fox will definitely not let go of "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four."

"Of course, the X-Men and Fantastic Four are out of the question, but I remember there are still some obscure comic book characters that are in the hands of some small companies.

I think Sony had better act quickly and acquire these comic characters as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if Marvel Studios reacts, I’m afraid you won’t have such a good opportunity.”

Miyamoto Keita nodded repeatedly, but Wang Hao could see that the other party didn't seem to take his suggestion seriously.

But this is normal. After all, before "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man", Marvel also had superheroes brought to the big screen.

But the box office performance of live-action movies adapted from less famous superheroes is not very ideal.

Of course, Wang Hao made this suggestion in itself as a precautionary measure, and it is also a way to prepare to shut Sony Pictures up in the future.

If Sony Pictures really does not intend to acquire the copyrights of these Marvel characters, Wang Hao might take action.

The only problem is that Wang Hao also needs to mobilize funds to acquire the copyrights of these heroes, and now most of his funds are being used to prepare for bottom-fishing opportunities, which is a bit difficult.

So he didn't mention this matter again, but just chatted with Keita Miyamoto and the other two for a while, and promised to come up with a project plan as soon as possible after understanding the situation about "Spider-Man".

At the same time, he asked Keita Miyamoto to help introduce one or two reliable investment companies, and then he got up and said goodbye.

When he walked out of the room, Wang Hao looked at the time and found that it was already late at night. He had no intention of staying at the party any longer, so he immediately prepared to ask Keita Miyamoto's driver to drive him back to the hotel.

But just as Wang Hao was waiting for the bus, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Dear king, you haven't told me yet, what should I do?"

Wang Hao looked at the alluring beauty in front of him and knew that he might not be able to return to the hotel tonight.

Fortunately, there are many hotels near Keita Miyamoto's home, so there is still a place to stay tonight.

As for the dessert that was delivered to his door, Wang Hao was not a gentleman, so it was self-evident what he should do.

What, you said Wang Hao has a girlfriend?

Alas, since he and Wan Qian got together, their relationship has been stable and warming up for a while, but as Wang Hao was busy with work and they were together less and less, conflicts between them gradually accumulated.

Especially since Wan Qian herself has her own ideas and a strong personality, it is impossible for her to give up her career and completely depend on Wang Hao to be his good wife.

And it was impossible for Wang Hao to give up his career. He understood one thing in his previous life: any man who gave up his career for a woman would not have a good ending.

So since half a year ago, the relationship between the two has gradually become indifferent. Even when they meet occasionally, it is more of physical communication and exchanges.

Maybe it’s just as they said when they first put on the friendship rings, they will always be friends!
