After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Under the overwhelming publicity, Kevin did not hold any premiere.

The Matrix, at this time, has long been comparable to the Americans, and it has reached a state where it has gone too far. Kevin knows that continuing to promote it will only attract boredom.

Now, just wait quietly for the box office on the first day.

...

"Ten movie tickets to The Matrix! I want the show in an hour!"

In a movie theater, a chubby-looking big boy raised a dollar bill in his hand and said to the conductor.

The conductor glanced at the ticket, shook his head and said:

"No, it's sold out. The closest show is only at one o'clock in the evening. Do you want it?"

The big chubby boy just hesitated.

Among a group of men and women at the side, a tall boy walked over.

"Twenty, I want it, and it's only at one o'clock in the evening."

The conductor took the money, ordered twenty tickets, and handed them to the boy.

"Rogge, well done."

Several male classmates winked at Rogge.

Boys can have any bad intentions, but they just like the feeling of watching movies with girls at one o'clock in the evening. As for doing something they like to do after watching the movie, that's a matter of course.

The chubby boy suddenly became anxious, waved the money in his hand and said:

"I'll take it too. Give me a movie ticket for The Matrix at eleven o'clock."

The conductor said calmly:

"The one o'clock show is sold out, the next one is at [-]:[-] in the morning, do you want it?"

The chubby boy was suddenly speechless.

It's a pity that this is the treatment of big productions, and it's hard to get a ticket.

As a representative of a small and medium-sized group in the class, it is definitely not impossible not to buy tickets, and with a bunch of girls, it seems that it is not impossible to get tickets for the night show.

The big boy gritted his teeth:

"Twenty at three, just twenty at three, give me ten."

The conductor collected the money for the ticket with a cold face.

At the entrance of the cinema, the president of Fox looked at this scene with a smile on his face.

"Steve Kevin, always Steve Kevin, not like James Cameron asshole."

Just thinking about James Cameron gave Fox's president a heart attack.

Steve Kevin is known for his speed and quality of shooting.

Most of the time in a year, two movies.

As for James Cameron, he started investing in filming in 1994. Up to now, he has been filming for more than two years and has not finished filming yet.

Not only that, but the production cost exceeded expectations.

Let Fox and Paramount increase investment many times, there is no way, they have already invested so much, if they don't pursue investment, it means that the previous investment is in vain.

It's really hard to get off.

If the film fails, it can be expected that Cameron will be blocked by their joint efforts.

Chapter 189 The Matrix First Day Box Office

In Hollywood, even if it is a big director, if he messes up a big production, the consequences will be equally serious.

In light cases, you need to prove yourself again through small productions.

More importantly, it is possible to directly fall into the TV drama market or even have no drama to shoot.

After seeing the enthusiastic feedback from the audience, the president of Fox left with peace of mind.

On the other hand, the other film companies who paid attention to the first day of The Matrix were not very happy.

Steve Kevin, to this day, has become a god-like existence among directors.

Even Spielberg, there are times when the movie box office is not good.

But Steve Kevin never failed.

Based on the feedback on the first day, if nothing else happens, The Matrix will once again create a legend.

And this also means that Steve Kevin occupies at least one month of these few golden slots every year.

For other major film companies, this is undoubtedly a huge loss.

It's a pity that in the face of a strong player like Steve Kevin, other people really have nothing to do.

.........

The day passed quickly.

The Matrix, under Kevin's direction, cut down on some of the information that was too arcane.

It becomes more easy to understand.

It may not be as massive as the Hollywood classic Citizen Kane, or as grand as The Godfather, but it's more entertaining than either.

And this is exactly the result Steve Kevin needs.

...

Inside Dawn Film Company.

Old God Kevin is there to handle the company's business.

As the president, Dawson has great authority over the company's daily management and personnel.

The only thing is that Kevin's signature is required for some large capital transfers.

The current Chenxi Film Company, apart from film investment, does not have much to spend money on, and there is still a lot of cash on the books.

It's not that Kevin doesn't want to let these funds flow, there are really not many suitable projects.

Even if Kevin wants to build an ecological chain, it must be around the film-related industries.

Netflix is ​​the only giant video website in the future Internet era.

This, Kevin must start.

And next year will be the time when Netflix is ​​officially established.

If he wants to swallow Netflix in one gulp, he needs a lot of cash. At the same time, he also needs a stake in MGM.

If you think about it this way, the money in Kevin's hand is not enough.

As for financing with external money.

Honestly, not yet.

Once outside capital flows in, Kevin's control over the company will gradually weaken.

Don't you see, Dong Ge of Mou Dong is such a strong person.

In the end, it was not because of the capital that it was almost out of the game.

For Kevin, Chenxi Film Company and Marvel will never go public.

This is Kevin's basic plan. As for the future Netflix, it is the best capital for him to absorb hot money.

As for why Netflix is ​​not afraid of overturning, Kevin also has his own ideas on this point.

The foundation of Netflix is ​​actually a large number of movie DVD authorizations.

As long as Kevin pinpoints this point, he is not afraid of Netflix going to the sky.

Kevin was dealing with some accumulated things calmly, but Dawson was more eager than him.

From time to time, he wandered around in the office, and from time to time went to the staff office area to inspect.

"What's the rush, Dawson."

Disgusted of Dawson's dangling around, affecting his mood, Kevin said directly.

Dawson sneered, touched the back of his head and said:

"I'm also anxious to know the first-day box office of The Matrix."

Kevin shook his head. After all, there is still a huge gap between the president of Dawson and the presidents of those big companies.

This concentration alone is far from enough.

Fortunately, Chenxi's development path is in her own hands, and Dawson is just a tool man.

"Don't worry, with our promotional efforts, the first-day box office of The Matrix will not be bad..."

"Kevin!"

Before Kevin finished speaking, Davis, the president of Fox, came to this office.

Davis had a look of joy on his face, holding a piece of data in his hand, which was the box office on the first day of The Matrix.

With Fox's relationship, it is not difficult to get this report quickly.

Fox was too eager to know the first-day box office of The Matrix, so it went to pick it up before it arrived in theaters.

As for why they are in such a hurry, it is naturally because of the pressure on funds.

Titanic, after several additional investments, the total investment has reached a production cost of more than 2 million US dollars.

According to the simplest principle of three times the box office, we can only pay back the cost.

If the global box office of Titanic is less than [-] million US dollars, Fox and Paramount will suffer a lot.

Even with their size, this amount of investment is not a small amount.

The loss of Titanic, in the eyes of Paramount and Fox, is a high probability thing, after all, this is not a sci-fi blockbuster.

It's a romance movie.

Their current thinking is how much cost can be recovered, how much cost is it.

The remaining losses must be made up from other sources.

Paramount's choice was to shoot the sequel of Mission: Impossible. Under the huge financial pressure caused by the Titanic, Paramount paid a huge price for Tom Cruise to renew his contract.

Fox, on the other hand, paid the price of Marvel's copyright and got the opportunity to cooperate with Steve Kevin.

Today is the time for them to harvest.

Seeing Davis' expression, Kevin also smiled.

The cooperation with Fox is quite pleasant. Except for the payment, they have not interfered with the filming in any way, which makes Kevin very happy.

Warner would give some advice from time to time. Although Kevin didn't listen, Kevin didn't like the fact that they liked to give advice.

It can only be said that this is an old tradition of Warner Bros.

In the future, the DC universe will be destroyed by this group of executives who like to point fingers.

"The box office is out?"

Dawson leaned over, staring at the information on the table and asked.

Davis smiled and said:

"I didn't watch it either. Didn't this come to you to share the joy together?"

"Anyway, the theaters told me that it has set a record, and the box office on the first day must not be low."

Kevin just nodded calmly.

"Then open it and take a look."

Compared with the Wachowski brothers, he is a famous director in Hollywood, and the protagonist he uses is also the famous Nicolas Cage.

Production costs, publicity efforts, schedules, and all other aspects completely exploded the Matrix filmed by the Wachowski Brothers at that time.

If the box office in this situation is not as good as the original version, Kevin really thinks that he should find a fierce woman and crash to death on her mountain.
