Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Straight to his office, Kevin lay on his side on the sofa and closed his eyes.

During these twenty-odd days, he was basically involved in the promotion of Fast and Furious throughout the process.

From TV shows, to mutual help propaganda like Lucas.

It's been busy, and it's finally time to pay off.

However, Kevin knows in his heart that the results of Fast and Furious cannot surpass movies like Harry Potter.

Family movies are not comparable to ordinary movies.

But the long-term profitability of Fast and Furious is terrifying.

And movies with urban backgrounds can be shot at almost zero cost, and it can be said that the box office that falls is pure profit.

Although the box office looks less terrifying than Harry Potter.

But the real profit situation will not be too bad.

After all, the cost compression is too low, and from the beginning, the cost has been recovered.

Of course, not only can not surpass Harry Potter, but also cannot surpass Star Wars prequels.

The premiere on May 19, coupled with the fame of Star Wars, directly grabbed most of the films of the same period, and then the Star Wars prequel, which directly received a first-day box office result of 65 million US dollars.

Although not as good as Harry Potter's first-day results.

But it is also a existence that can rank in the top ten of the first-day box office list.

In all the schedules this year, even Kevin is not confident that any movie can surpass this achievement of Star Wars Prequel.

It is to be expected that this year's box office champion has been booked in advance by Star Wars.

But Kevin has never cared about this kind of false name.

He wants real profits.

At present, Sunrise Film Company, all kinds of messy profits add up, the company has nearly a billion dollars in cash flow on its books.

And there is a steady stream of various copyright shares, even if Kevin does nothing, it will be more than $100 million in revenue every year.

Of course, it must be a waste to leave it like this.

Kevin is ready to wait for Fast and Furious to finish and start investing in various things, the most important of which is the creation of theme parks.

In the United States, Kevin is not prepared to hand over the Hogwarts theme park license to someone else, he is ready to monopolize the profits alone.

Preliminary estimates are that two or three more Hogwarts theme parks will be built.

No way, Hogwarts is so hot that in just half a year, it has made a profit of thirty million dollars for Kevin.

That's not the upper limit.

Because the Hogwarts theme park is more popular than Kevin expected.

It is almost at full capacity every day, but the reception capacity is too low to fully exert the power of this IP.

Kevin is already preparing for the new Hogwarts theme park.

But this time, he wanted someone else to come to the door.

The economic impact of the Hogwarts theme park on any place is huge, and he asked the states of the United States to take the initiative to invite him.

At that time, he will choose two or three more to build this theme park.

Take the initiative to send to the door, and invite others, he prefers to be invited, so that he can grasp the initiative.

Crunch!

Dawson knocked on the door, and after getting Kevin's permission, he directly pushed the door open and walked in.

Also coming in was Zhang Yimou, who was the assistant director.

After following the Fast and Furious, Zhang Yimou, accompanied Tsui Hark and Zack Schneider, to understand how they filmed.

Crazy learning all kinds of shooting knowledge, as well as Hollywood's cognition of movies.

It was also in the past few days that everything was done and post-production began, and he temporarily entered a short vacation.

Zhang Yimou also told Kevin that he already had some ideas, and after returning to the mainland in a few days, preparing the script, and some key members of the crew, he brought people to the United States and began to set up a project.

If the goal is to target the summer file of the year.

Theoretically, in fact, the summer file is generally the exclusive schedule of large film companies, and small film companies, even if they are forced to release in the summer file, it is difficult to get enough schedules and good dates.

And Sunrise Film Company, if it is simply its own size, is actually a medium and large film company.

Compared with MGM, Warner, etc.

But helplessly, Sunrise Film Company, there is a Steve Kevin.

This is different.

With Steve Kevin, Sunrise Film Company is naturally overrated, directly regarded as a top film company, and has the qualifications to compete with big film companies.

Therefore, even a film of a new director, under the operation of Sunrise Film, can be on the summer file.

Of course, don't expect too much on the arrangement.

The data is good, the attendance rate is high, and the cinema will naturally increase the arrangement according to the contract.

If the data is not good, then it may not even be released for half a month, and it will be painted in a few days.

Dawson looked at Kevin and said directly:

"The first day data of Fast and Furious has come out."

"Put it there."

Kevin lowered his head and rubbed himself, motioning for Dawson to place the data on the table.

From Dawson's reaction, Kevin knew that the box office of Fast and Furious seemed unsurprising.

Then the probability is a first-day box office result of 350 million US dollars.

But this result, Kevin is also satisfied.

After all, the production cost of 1200 million US dollars has been collected through sponsors.

This is put on the box office, which is equivalent to saying that the movie has not yet been released, and it has a box office of 240 million US dollars.

A lot of it is pure earned, which is why Kevin has repeatedly emphasized that the data of some movies is not just as simple as the box office.

Fast and furious, can add more than $200 million to its future total box office, which is its real achievement.

Dawson nodded, put down the data, and turned to leave.

In fact, this kind of sending data is no longer needed by him.

However, in order to show his status as the number one general in Kevin's hands, there are some things that he chose to do himself, including sending data for Kevin's own movies.

···

There were only two people in the office.

Kevin then picked up the data in his hand and looked at it.

Zhang Yimou on the side was curious:

"Kevin, how much was the box office on the first day of the movie?"

In these hours of getting along, Zhang Yimou also understood that Kevin is actually a very easy-going person in his daily life, and he has a bit of a friend when he gets along.

"Fifty-two million dollars, but the reputation is not bad, the overall results should not be too bad."

Dropping the data in his hand, Kevin said casually.

This achievement, for him, is no surprise, and rightly so.

But for Zhang Yimou, it's different.

In the era of the mainland's box office exceeding 10 million, which is a small explosion, he personally felt that the film he participated in won the first-day box office of nearly 300 million yuan, which is difficult to tell.
