Marvel Comics is one of the American comic giants. It was founded in 1939 and officially named Marvel in 1961. It has many superheroes such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Deadpool, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and many other superheroes.

In his previous life, Disney acquired Marvel for US$4.24 billion at the end of 2009. However, in this life, under the instruction of Tan Xiaotian, Lee Yeon-hee took the lead in seizing the stakes. She first acquired stakes in Marvel and then took up most of the shares. TL Pictures became Marvel's holding company.

"Avengers" is the sixth movie in the Marvel Universe. The first five movies are "Iron Man", "Hulk", "Iron Man 2", "Thor", and "Captain America: Avengers", with very good response and box office.

Therefore, Marvel plans to launch the movie "Avengers" that brings together many superheroes, hoping to reap a wave of box office.

The plan for this movie was reported to Lee Yeon-hee, and the budget was as high as $200 million.

Lee Yeon-hee has never seen such a high production cost since she took over TL Films, so she was unsure of her mind and asked Tan Xiaotian to discuss it.

What else to discuss?

Tan Xiaotian knows how valuable the big IP "Avengers" is.

In the past life, "Avengers" had a global box office of 1.5 billion, "Avengers" 2 Ultron's Age of Ultron's box office of 1.4 billion, "Avengers" 3 Infinity War's box office of 2 billion, "Avengers" 4's final battle of 2.7 billion, and the four movies combined exceed 7.5 billion US dollars, making it the most valuable series in film history, no doubt.

If you don’t have the conditions to borrow money for such movies, you have to pay for them, not to mention that TL Pictures is not short of money at all.

"Photo, what is the budget of 200 million yuan?

I mean, you tell Marvel people that funds are absolutely guaranteed to be in place, but there are conditions. Several starring actors, Robert Downey Jr. who plays Iron Man, Chris Evans of Captain America, Mark Ruffalo of Hulk, Chris Hemsworth of Thor, and Scarlett Johansson of Black Widow, must sign contracts with us for at least six movies."

Tan Xiaotian is planning ahead. When "Avengers" was filmed 4, the pay of several starring actors was too high, so they couldn't afford to film the sequel later. There was no way, and the pay of these superstars added together to become a celestial figure.

While their pay has not increased so far, they will sign six movies based on their current pay, which can make a big difference.

Li Yanxi naturally obeyed Xiaotianyan. Since Xiaotian Oppa felt that the budget of $200 million is not expensive, then approve it.

After talking about "The Avengers", Lee Yeon-hee took out another document for Tan Xiaotian to read.

Tan Xiaotian opened the folder and it turned out to be a script with a line of titles in English, "The Hunger Games".

Tan Xiaotian's eyes lit up at that time.

"The Hunger Games" is adapted from the novel of the same name by American writer Susan Collins. It is also a series. It has three films in total. The global box office of "The Hunger Games" 1 exceeded 600 million yuan, and the total box office of three exceeded 2.2 billion US dollars. Although it is not as dazzling as the "Avengers" series, this result is also very good. Another thing is that the production cost of the Hunger Games is low. In the film, except for the eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence, who is a superstar, there is no other fame.

Tan Xiaotian took a quick look and closed the folder, and said in an unwavering tone: "Buy this copyright, Yanxi, let's make this movie ourselves."

Lee Yeon-hee has long believed in Xiaotian Oppa's magic. Since her husband made the decision, she would just do it.

In front of Tan Xiaotian, Li Yanxi called her secretary in and began to arrange work.

"Who sent the script "The Hunger Games"?"

"It was sent by Director Gary Ross."

The secretary replied.

"Gary Ross?"

Lee Yeon-hee is very unfamiliar with this name.

Tan Xiaotian lazily interrupted, "Gary Ross is a well-known director, screenwriter, has written "Flying Over the Future", directed "The Pentium Age", and has been nominated for an Oscar.

Such people are not newborns, so you'd better call him and have a date with him."

"Xiaotian Oppa knows so much, I'll call him now."

Lee Yeon-hee immediately picked up the phone and called according to the contact information left in the script.

At this time, Gary Rose was sitting at home. The script "The Hunger Games" was adapted by him and the novelist Susan Collins.

He is a fan of this little book. After reading it, he had the urge to bring the novel to the screen.

After the script was finished, he wanted to make a choice among several old film companies, but a friend of his screenwriters advised him to invest in TL Pictures, which was established less than three years ago, saying that although the company was inexperienced, it was very rich and invested in several movies, such as "Inception".

When a new company encounters a good book, it will give more resources.

Gary Rose was moved, so he contacted TL Pictures and mailed a script.

Two days have passed now, and there is no reply from TL.

Or, I'll try another film company?

Gary Rose had this idea when the phone rang.

A young woman's voice came from the microphone, "Is it director Ross?"

I am Lee Yeon-hee, the president of TL Films.”

Gary Ross was both surprised and happy. He didn't expect that it was the president of TL Pictures who called him personally.

What does this mean?

This shows that TL Film attaches great importance to its scripts.

"President Lee, I'm Gary Rose, thank you for calling me in person."

"I want to talk to director Rose about the script of The Hunger Games. Don't you know if you have time?"

“Yes, yes!”

Gary Ross agreed repeatedly.

That afternoon, Gary Rose flew from Los Angeles to New York from Los Angeles and met Lee Yeon-hee.

According to Tan Xiaotian's instructions, Lee Yeon-hee bought the film and television copyright of "The Hunger Games" from Gary Rose and the novel author Susan Collins. Gary Rose is the director and she herself serves as the producer. After all, this is the first film produced by TL Pictures since its establishment, so she attaches great importance to it.

"The Hunger Games" is the battle horn for TL Films to officially enter Hollywood.

"The Hunger Games" is the drama of the heroine. The starring role in the previous life was the eldest cousin Jennifer Lawrence. However, after Tan Xiaotian thought about it, he decided not to let the outsider go. Gu Zhiqing was fully capable of acting in this movie.

So the starring actor changed people.

When Gu Zhiqing heard that this was Tan Xiaotian’s meaning, she agreed directly.

Because she knew that Tan Xiaotian must be for her good.
