After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

With this confidence, Kevin directly asked Davis to open this data to see how much the Matrix's first-day box office was.

Chapter 190 Steve Kevin Plagiarized?

Davis is as good as he gets.

After taking these materials, he looked directly at the top.

The box office of Steve Kevin's movies is always the highest in the same period. As long as you look at the top of the information, there is definitely nothing wrong with it.

"The first-day gross of The Matrix is ​​$180!"

With this amount, even Kevin couldn't hold back his expression.

The original version of The Matrix was released in 1999, and it took half a year to shoot.

The gap with the current theoretical price will not be too big.

The total North American box office of The Matrix at the time was 7000 million U.S. dollars.

In other words, after Kevin's adaptation, various bonuses and publicity are added.

The Matrix won one-third of the total score of the original Matrix in one day.

Even Kevin himself did not expect this beautiful first-day box office data.

To know the first-day box office of Batman and The Dark Knight, there is no such data.

Davis was even more ecstatic. Judging from this data, even if the Titanic lost all of it, the Matrix would be able to recover this part of the loss for them.

Coupled with the fact that the company is unanimously optimistic about Independence Day.

This year's Fox's annual financial report will finally not be too ugly.

With this joy, Davis said happily:

"Congratulations, Kevin, you've set another Hollywood record."

"May I invite you to have a meal together?"

In a good mood, Kevin and Dawson readily accepted Davis' invitation to have dinner together.

Just when they were happy, other film companies were not so happy.

In Time Warner.

As soon as the first-day box office of The Matrix came out, Robinov and other executives were immediately overjoyed.

Fortunately, he gave in early and made Kevin give up targeting Warner.

Otherwise, if the moment of killing really meets The Matrix head-on, I'm afraid there won't even be any scum left.

However, this high box office on the first day also aroused the minds of Warner executives.

They put forward various opinions to Robinov one after another, and the unanimous meaning was that, no matter what, they should get on line with Steve Kevin and participate in the investment of his new movie.

This kind of director who makes money as long as he invests, can't find a second one in Hollywood.

If they can reach the previous close cooperation with Kevin, they don't have to worry about Warner's future performance.

Robinov himself had the same intention.

However, how to pull Kevin into the car again is a question that needs to be studied.

On the other side, inside Miramax.

As Steve Kevin's status is getting higher and higher, Harvey Weinstein has long since lost the idea of ​​dealing with him, and has reduced his sense of existence in daily life.

So as not to provoke Steve Kevin's revenge.

But today, a tool to attack Steve Kevin was delivered to him like this.

Harvey Weinstein was moved by the possibility of making Steve Kevin rotten.

However, in order to prevent getting burned, this kind of thing must not be handled by him alone.

Harvey Weinstein quickly took the evidence and went to a place where he could deal with Steve Kevin.

····

Bowell Films.

The CEO of Bowei, looking at the evidence of Harvey Weinstein, frowned and said:

"Are you sure The Matrix is ​​plagiarized?"

Harvey Weinstein nodded, and said with abnormal affirmation:

"I don't say it's 100% the same, but anyone with a discerning eye will know that the core content of The Matrix is ​​very similar to this script."

"As long as there are enough people who are willing to speak out, then he is plagiarized."

The meaning of Harvey Weinstein is very simple, no matter whether Steve Kevin plagiarized or not, as long as there are enough people who are willing to say that he plagiarized.

Then he is plagiarizing, people always follow blindly, a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

With such plausible evidence, in the hands of someone with a heart, it is enough to attack Steve Kevin.

In fact, the script submitted by the Wachowski brothers is far from perfect compared with Steve Kevin's script.

But in their mouths, this just proves that this script is the original manuscript of The Matrix.

It's just right for attacking Steve Kevin.

Bowei's CEO has the word thinking written all over his face.

From the heart, he actually didn't want to offend Steve Kevin.

But if you can really knock Steve Kevin to the ground, there are too many benefits.

The first is the schedule.

They don't have to face a strong competitor like Steve Kevin every year.

Now every year, whenever a new Steve Kevin movie comes out, they avoid it.

The originally scheduled schedule had to be changed because of this, which caused headaches to many people.

Also unintentionally, let Steve Kevin get a lot of enemies.

Bowei is one of them. Anyway, Steve Kevin has never cooperated with them. It will undoubtedly be a great thing if Steve Kevin can be brought down.

But still the same sentence, Bowei must not go head-on.

The collision between Steve Kevin and Warner, no one in Hollywood knows.

As a result, Warner's new movie, everyone said the quality was good, and the audience's reputation was not bad, but it just didn't make a box office.

All the box office was robbed by Pirates of the Caribbean.

It led to a good movie, which literally caused the film company to lose money.

Bona didn't want to encounter this kind of thing.

There must be someone who is responsible.

Thinking of this, President Bona set his sights on Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein suddenly felt cold, and couldn't help but look around.

-------------------------------------

"The Matrix plagiarized the script of the new directors, the Wachowski Brothers, the hottest hit today!"

"It is rumored that Chenxi, the film company directed by Steve Kevin, had received a script from the Wachowski brothers, but they did not accept it. Unexpectedly, just yesterday, the Wachowski brothers watched it in a movie theater. After The Matrix, I suddenly found out that it was roughly the same as the script I had prepared before."

"Another Rashomon incident? Did the big Hollywood director steal the years of achievements of the new directors, the Wachowski Brothers?"

"..."

Dawn Films.

Kevin was drinking tea while reading the news published in the newspaper.

The tea is top-quality Pu-erh, and a tea cake costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is not cheap.

He took a sip gently, feeling the smooth taste between his lips and teeth, and the unique aroma of Pu'er, and then slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

"Kevin..."

Dawson couldn't help becoming anxious watching Kevin's actions.

With so much negative news popping up all of a sudden, we must react immediately, otherwise, it will have an impact on the box office.

"Don't worry, [-]th Century Fox is more anxious about this matter than we are. Let's wait for their investigation results."

Calming Dawson, Kevin was also thinking about who used the Wachowski brothers to attack him.

As for plagiarism?

Just kidding, this script is different from the original hacker script. Even if the Wachowski brothers came up with the script, they can only say that it is similar.

From the script to the picture, I don't know how many gaps there are in between. Do you really think that the film is exactly the same as the script?

Someone must be playing tricks on this.

Chapter 191 The Wachowski Brothers

However, as a top director, Kevin himself should not inadvertently hurt the interests of others too much.

I really asked Kevin to check it himself, but he really couldn't find out where the problem was.

Hollywood is full of friends, but it's also full of enemies.

As long as Kevin is no longer in his current glory, enemies everywhere will show up. In order to prevent this from happening, Kevin has been managing contacts and sharing benefits.

This gradually laid a solid foundation.

.....

Inside Twentieth Century Fox.

high-level meeting.

Davis put away his kind appearance in front of Kevin and became furious.

"Check, give me a quick check, and find out who is targeting our Fox."

Davis's face was full of anger. As the president of a large company, don't look polite in front of Kevin, it's because Steve Kevin can bring them huge benefits.

In Fox, his iron-blooded methods made some high-level officials trembling on weekdays.

These subordinates were also very familiar with his temper, so they didn't dare to shirk and agreed.

"Yes, within a day, the results are guaranteed to be found out."

The executive in charge of this aspect immediately issued a military order.

Davis restrained his anger and nodded.

At other points in time, Fox doesn't really care about Steve Kevin.

Davis wouldn't do it for Steve Kevin, either.

But The Matrix has just been released for a day, and it is about to make a lot of money. At this point in time, someone is targeting Steve Kevin and the Matrix.

This is undoubtedly taking money out of Fox's pocket, and no one can tolerate it.

Not to mention, these well-deserved giants in Hollywood.

Of course, Davis has another idea.

That's courting Steve Kevin.

I don't want to catch his next movie right away, but if Steve Kevin's future movies still need investment, Davis only hopes that Fox will be the first thing he thinks of.

Thinking of the money that The Matrix will soon make into his pockets, Davis can't wait to send these troublemakers to prison to pick up soap.

As for whether Steve Kevin actually plagiarized, does it matter?

...

Without being able to find the exact target of the enemy, Steve Kevin arranged for the propaganda department to respond in the newspaper.

Inside Miramax.
