After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Kevin raised his hand in a gesture.

Tsui Hark followed Kevin's movements and sat on the sofa beside him.

Kevin left the desk, came to the sofa opposite Tsui Hark, poured a cup of hot tea for Tsui Hark, and then said:

"Director Tsui Hark wants to develop in Hollywood, right?"

Tsui Hark nodded.

After confirming that Tsui Hark's idea was okay, Kevin revealed his plan for the development of Xianxia culture.

"Director Tsui Hark should have heard of Marvel Comics, right?"

"I've heard that it is said to be the second largest comic book company in the US market share?"

Tsui Hark responded.

"Yes, this company is also mine."

Tsui Hark nodded.

As for why Kevin wanted to shoot Spider-Man, he knew it well.

It's all his industry. If Spider-Man's box office explodes, it can drive an entire industry chain.

Much more money than a movie alone.

"Shushan has been successful so far, which shows that Americans can actually accept such a culture."

"I have an idea, to do a series of Shushan comics."

Tsui Hark listened attentively.

"Present the world of Shushan in the form of superhero comics."

Tsui Hark was a little confused.

How to combine fairy tales and superheroes.

Seeing that Tsui Hark didn't understand, Kevin explained:

"My preliminary idea is this. The world is divided into two layers, and those with talents can enter the inner world, which is the Shushan world."

"They're able to get something called aura, or something, through various actions to make themselves stronger."

"Among them, there are good people and bad people, and they coexist in the city."

Tsui Hark hesitated for a moment, and expressed his understanding.

"Like a game world? Only a small number of players? A real game?"

"Correct!"

The more Kevin said, the clearer his thinking became.

The important selling point is actually the same as that of superheroes.

It's just that there is an extra fight in the inner world.

This is a comic work that is very suitable for adaptation, and this large framework can generate a lot of content.

As for the Xianxia universe at the beginning, Kevin's idea is to come slowly.

We must know that in the original history of the second remake of Shu Shan Chuan, one of the reasons why the box office failed was that it was too advanced. Even people in mainland China did not understand Xianxia culture at that time, so how could they count on the box office? it is good.

After careful investigation, Kevin felt that it would take a long time to develop Xianxia culture.

More diversified Xianxia content is needed to make the American people accept these things.

"Seems feasible?"

Tsui Hark touched his chin and thought.

He knows that his greatest advantage is shooting this kind of movie.

Ordinary foreign directors can't appreciate the hidden charm of this culture, and it is of course a good thing to have more fairy tale content.

"It must be feasible!"

Kevin said directly.

"Director Tsui Hark, are you willing to sign with Chenxi Film Company?"

As one of the top five commercial value among Chinese directors in the future, signing Tsui Hark now is definitely a good deal.

Tsui Hark didn't hesitate for a second.

"willing."

"Okay, your treatment is equivalent to that of Mitt, and I will definitely not let you suffer when you sign with Chenxi."

At present, Kevin's company has a contracted director, plus Tsui Hark, a total of five people.

Among them, Mitt and Zach are the ones with the highest salary.

As for the Russell brothers, the current treatment is not bad for them, of course, it is far from Mitt and the others.

Facing Kevin's words, Tsui Hark nodded and did not refuse.

Tsui Hark is also an arrogant person.

He feels that he is no worse than any director. He dares to accept this kind of treatment from Kevin, and he wants to impress Kevin.

In order to be worthy of this treatment, Tsui Hark thought for a while and suddenly said:

"Kevin, I'm planning to go to Marvel for a while, and communicate with them about the details of the comics, so as to facilitate the later film adaptation."

"What's more, I'm afraid that those cartoon authors won't be able to understand the characteristics of this kind of cartoon, so I need to communicate."

"Okay, let me say hello, you just go."

"The comics will be released in the next two to three months. Specifically, next year's Christmas file. I hope the movie will be released. This time, I will give you an investment of 6000 million, and you can coordinate the time yourself."

Tsui Hark really couldn't hold back this time.

The smile bloomed on his face.

At the same time, I made up my mind to call my wife later and ask her to come to the United States.

After chatting with Kevin for a few more words, Tsui Hark left Chenxi.

When Tsui Hark left, Kevin called Dawson.

"Is there any movement on Warner's side?"

Dawson nodded.

"It is said that Warner is preparing to imitate the style of Batman's dark knight and restart Superman."

"We are looking for a gold medal producer to take over this project."

A triumphant smile appeared on Kevin's face, and then disappeared.

"Okay, then the company's business will be completely handed over to you, and I will start shooting Spider-Man soon."

"If there is anything important, call anytime."

"Yes!"

Dawson responded.

·····

The time for Christmas has passed in a blink of an eye.

The movie Shushan, with a box office of 3000 million US dollars, has been offline in North America.

For the production cost of more than 6000 million, the box office in North America alone has already paid back the cost and made a small profit.

What surprised Kevin the most was that the surrounding area of ​​Shushan was very popular.

In addition to all kinds of hanging clothes, the sales of Excalibur skateboards are the most exaggerated, with a total of about [-] sold.

Originally there were only two shapes, but after seeing the big sales, I urgently added some other flying sword skateboards of different shapes in the movie.

This has resulted in such exaggerated sales.

American skateboarders, if they don't buy a Feijian skateboard, they will be expelled from the skateboarding family.

The sales volume of the peripherals as a whole created a small miracle, reaching 800 million US dollars in sales within a month.

After deducting the cost and booth fees of theaters, the revenue was 300 million US dollars.

Moreover, this enthusiasm can continue for a while.

It is not a big problem to create a sales volume of 3000 million US dollars by visual estimation.

Of course, these are things the company has to deal with, and Kevin doesn't need to worry about them.

At the same time, overseas channels, through MGM, have also begun to make efforts to let Shushan begin to be screened all over the world.

Thanks to the huge influence of the United States, as long as a movie has a high box office in the North American market, the box office in overseas markets is often not too bad.

Countries such as Britain and France are industrial countries, and they are also troubled by the United States.

Therefore, when it was released, the box office performed well, and they expressed unanimous praise for the scenery shown in the film.

However, the best performers at the box office were Asian countries.

The impression created by the Confucian cultural circle allows Asians to better understand some of the things expressed in the film.

Chapter 229 Shushan is released in mainland China

The movie Shushan has the double bonus of Chinese culture and American capital. As soon as it was released, it became a big hit at the box office in Singapore, Japan, South Korea and other places, and directly squeezed into the top three box office results in the local film market.

Of course, the most critical continent will naturally not be left behind.

But the mainland's censorship mechanism is there.

It will take some time before it can be released in mainland China.

Kevin didn't worry about that at all.

With the participation of Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou, and the fact that the content is not problematic, and it can also bring huge economic benefits to the mainland, Kevin really can't figure out the reason for being rejected.

And the relationship between China and the United States is not bad at this time.

Under the influence of the movie, many Americans have gone to Mount Emei for vacation.

Although the scenery of Mount Emei in winter is not as good as in summer, it also has a different style.

Generate a lot of income for the local area.

All these things add up, so Kevin just needs to wait with peace of mind.

As for whether Shushan's box office in the mainland will work or not, Kevin can only say, definitely not.

Remarkable tens of millions of dollars is already a top-notch achievement.

The mainland market still needs the efforts of more mainland directors to cultivate it slowly.

As for Shushan, it is a key step for Kevin to cultivate the mainland people's aesthetic appreciation of Xianxia in advance.

····

For external affairs, Kevin has arranged everything properly.

He doesn't need to worry about it.

At this time, he was leading a whole crew to shoot the Spider-Man scene in MGM's studio.

In order to make Spiderman's various flying movements and fighting more cool, Kevin directly mobilized more than a dozen best martial arts instructors in the company to make suggestions together.

Strive to make the excitement of action scenes reach a new high.

Even Mitt and Zach were called by him to be the assistant directors, the purpose is for the follow-up Spiderman sequel, someone will come to shoot.

He first set the tone for the beginning of the Marvel universe, and then Zach and Mitt will take on heavy responsibilities to film other Marvel superheroes.

Like Iron Man and Ghost Rider.

As for him, it can only be said that he has no skills at all, and there are other movies to be made.

Of course, he will still make a move when it is the most critical time.

The Avengers series will be directed by him throughout the filming process.
