Stan Lee's new superhero 'Annihilator' gets a Chinese partner
SHANGHAI — "Spider-Man"creator Stan Lee's first Chinese superhero,
"The
Annihilator," topped the inaugural slate of feature film co-productions
announced Monday by state-run National Film Capital.
NFC, a Beijing-based entertainment industry fund management company chaired
by former China Film Group President Yang Buting, will draw on an initial
2.6-billion yuan ($422 million) raised by the Industrial and Commercial Bank
of China and other partners, NFC co-founder Kathy Peng, a former investment
banker in Hong Kong, said.
Founded in 2008, NFC was dormant until recently. As China's box office picked
up steam, Yang traveled to Los Angeles in February to publicize NFC, just
ahead of China's announcement that it would allow more Hollywood imports into
its booming market.
"We are going to touch every sector of the film industry, from cinemas to
production and more," Peng said on the sidelines of a news conference to
detail NFC's plans, held on the third day of the 15th Shanghai International
Film Festival.
China's ticket sales jumped 30% to $1.2 billion last year. The country is now
the leading export market for Hollywood films but rarely has produced films
that succeed overseas.
NFC is the latest state-backed entertainment venture to announce partnerships
with Hollywood as business between Hollywood and China heats up. Earlier
this year, China Media Capital and two other state-backed partners announced
a deal to help DreamWorks build an animation studio in Shanghai.
Peng said NFC has raised capital for two funds already, a $127-million fund
run from Beijing by Xu, and a $57-million fund she will oversee from Shanghai
that will put one-quarter of the money raised into developing new cinemas in
China and three quarters into film production.
NFC also is seeking private equity partners to help raise a third series of
funds totaling at least $238 million, Peng said.
"The Annihilator's" producer, Eric Mika, chief executive of Magic Storm
Entertainment, said
the film is a 2014 release, with a budget of more than
$100 million.
"It will be a 100% Hollywood-China co-production," Mika said, declining to
say how much of the budget would come from NFC and how much would have to
come from the Hollywood studio co-production partner he hopes to attract.
Mika said there was also lots of "soft money" from brands interested in being
attached to "The Annhilator" — both Chinese brands wanting to go West and
Western brands wanting to break into China.
Comic book godfather Lee, now 89 years old, spoke to the news conference in a
pretaped video, saying his trip to China (about 10 years ago) was "one of the
most wonderful times of my life."
"Let's make a Chinese superhero as soon as possible and as magnificently as
possible," Lee said.
The next step for "The Annihilator," Mika said, was to find the right young
Chinese actor to play the lead. The Magic Storm website describes the story
as being that of
"a young Chinese man given a second chance as an
international superhero, who returns home to mete out justice."
Other film projects NFC announced were the action-fantasy "Dragon Scroll,"
which Los Angeles-based producer Shimon Arama said would be made as an
$80-million Chinese-French-Spanish-Canadian co-production; the historical
epic "Genghis Khan," from Los Angeles-based writer and director Peter Doyle;
and a film version of the Chinese nautical history "1421."
