Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Having said that, of course, Kevin knew their intentions.

But before that, he had to arrange the rest with Robinoff.

Kevin raised his head and looked at Robinoff:

"President Robinoff, the movie hurricane rescue, today achieved a good result of 55 million US dollars, and the reputation is also quite good, next, you need Time Warner's resources for the next publicity."

Hearing Kevin's words, Robinoff answered directly.

"Don't worry, we will never drop the chain in the next announcement."

"Well, the box office on the first day, if the follow-up is followed, it is not a problem for the global box office to break 500 million."

Hurricane Rescue is not that kind of masterpiece after all, and it does not have the great influence of IP, and Kevin did not say that it must be a billion dollars.

That's impossible.

Movies that exceeded a billion dollars at the box office, even twenty years later, are still a handful of films.

It is the existence that can be less than the number of hands in the history of film.

This level of film really has to be born at the right time and place.

Among them, people and people must have a sufficient mass base.

In a sense, in fact, most of this kind of movie can be born only after classic IP adaptation.

Robinoff nodded, agreeing with Kevin's words.

After decades of summary, there is probably a certain concept between word-of-mouth and the first-day box office, as well as the subsequent box office.

Be able to roughly guess a number.

In general, it is still relatively accurate.

So Kevin said that there was about half a hundred million, and Robinoff agreed.

After nodding, Robinoff spoke again:

"If it is released overseas, give part of it to Warner, we can make the film release overseas faster and obtain better schedules and conditions."

"Okay."

Here are all discussed, the subsequent contract, and then word by word, and finally signed after it is correct.

In terms of time, ten days and a half month is very normal.

After negotiating with Warner for the time being, Kevin turned his head to look at the two presidents who were looking out the window casually.

As the top floor of this 40-storey high-rise building, the large flat glass makes the view particularly open.

People who do not have a fear of heights, looking around from the room, can even feel a kind of imposing momentum.

Of course, people with fear of heights are afraid that they will have a heart attack here.

However, Kevin naturally has no fear of heights.

This design is also what he particularly emphasizes.

The entire top floor, which he had to his own house, had a lounge, a recreation room, and this office.

The shape of the office is a fan, and the tail of the fan is a circle of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Two bookshelves, a filing cabinet, a desk and computer, plus a sofa tea set are all this office has.

The conversation just now was carried out standing, and seeing that the two seemed to have been standing for a while, Kevin said:

"Everyone sit down."

Waving his arms and saying hello, Kevin sat down on the single sofa.

Robinoff sat down alone on the side couch, while the other two presidents sat together.

Robinoff was the first to get a collaboration with Sunrise Films, and the two of them naturally approached behind.

"You're here to talk about the next cooperation, right?"

The two nodded.

"Yes, any next film directed by Kevin, we will invest in it."

"Together, we get a 50 percent share of the investment."

Kevin rubbed his head and fell into thought.

His own next film, no idea yet.

It's the company's sequel movie, a little too much.

The company's own director is definitely not going to be filmed at the moment, so it is better to outsource the project.

Kevin's current thinking is to hand over the sequel movie directly to a company in a series.

For example, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the subsequent sequels are directly handed over to Paramount or Fox to operate, as long as there are no major losses, the subsequent follow-up can be handed over to them to operate.

As a price for this condition, Kevin is willing to raise their share again.

For example, 35 percent is a good ratio.

This ratio ensures that everyone has money, so that they will be attentive, of course, under this ratio, the copyright income is all attributed to Kevin.

They can only get a certain amount of income from the surrounding area within half a year after the movie is released, and all of it belongs to Sunrise Movies after half a year.

It has to be said that this condition is very harsh.

However, if it is a project such as Pirates of the Caribbean to lay golden eggs, even if it is harsh, it is difficult to accept. ,

how can you not accept a profitable transaction.

After thinking clearly in his heart, Kevin raised his head and said indifferently;

"I have a new idea, I don't know what you think?"

"Director Kevin, please be straight, let's listen?"

President Fox asked politely.

However, Kevin's sudden change made them have some thoughts in their hearts, of course, they have all come to this position, and the city government still has it.

The face is silent.

Robinov on the side also pricked up his ears and listened.

"That's right, I'm going to arrange a sequel project for a classic movie in the hands of Sunrise Movies for your family."

"The original twenty-five shares, without later earnings, have now become thirty-five."

"Give you a ten% increase, the project is handed over to you to operate, and if the box office is successful, you will automatically get the investment right for the next sequel."

"How do you feel?"

This sudden proposal made the two presidents instantly fall into deep thought, and began to think about the good and bad of this matter from both sides of the pros and cons.

The benefit is obvious, that is, the yield becomes higher.

Twenty-five to thirty-five percent, a full 10 percent increase, which represents a return of tens of millions of dollars.

Even for movie giants, it's not a small number.

As for the deep meaning of Kevin's idea, everyone knows it in their hearts as a film company executive.

Kevin has too many IPs in his hand, and he can't shoot too many.

This has to be said to be a happy trouble.

At least Fox is still Paramount now, and there are not so many classic IPs held by Kevin.

Kevin wants to use their resources to find suitable directors to carry out projects, after all, Sunrise Movies is rising too fast, and the current network is not wide enough.

In terms of directors' resources, there is a considerable lack of resources.

They are still very clear about this.

The benefits are obvious, as are the disadvantages.

That is, the project is handled by them, although it is a classic IP, as long as it is not too bad, it can make money.

But in the end, it is not as stable as Steve Kevin's movie.
