After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

After watching for a while, Robinov raised his head and said with a serious face:

"Everyone, don't be too happy, let's take a look at word of mouth first."

"Although the word-of-mouth this time has not collapsed as completely as Batman The Dark Knight III, overall, it is not too ideal."

Robinov poured a puddle of cold water, which immediately made the executives stop making noise for the time being.

Some executives looked at Robinov, wondering:

"President, what do you mean?"

Robinov continued:

"What I mean is, next, we need to control public opinion and not let the negative comments ferment."

"The box office on the first day was quite good, and we want to control the decline in the box office."

"Yes!"

"I understand. I will immediately contact various film critics to promote Superman and suppress those negative public opinions in advance."

"Ah."

···

The next day, on countless media.

The polarized film reviews have dazzled countless viewers.

The Times, headed by Vic, lashed out at Superman. The core point is that the attack on Superman is a complete remake of Batman's Dark Knight.

It's blatant plagiarism.

On the other side, there are many media's advocacy of Superman, and at the same time, there are explanations for the so-called plagiarism.

Reference, this is only reference, absolutely no plagiarism.

In such a battle of public opinion, given that Warner Bros. had paid millions of public relations fees for this, sunspots like Vic were beaten back steadily.

Countless viewers entered the cinema and watched Superman.

On the second day, Superman was reborn, and achieved a box office score of 400 million, with a minimal decline, which made Warner Bros. happy.

Just in a good situation.

On the third day, public opinion changed drastically.

Plagiarism is always plagiarism.

Countless Steve Kevin fans were very dissatisfied with Superman's copying of Batman, and even launched a parade for this.

This huge pressure of public opinion cannot be suppressed by several million dollars.

Superman's reputation took a sharp turn for the worse, causing countless people to resist.

Since this day.

The box office of the movie Superman Rebirth took a sharp turn, and the data began to plummet.

On the third day, only 800 million box office results were achieved.

On the fourth day, only 3000 million box office results were achieved.

····

However, thanks to the millions of dollars in public relations expenses in the early stage, the box office collapse was much slower, coupled with the huge popularity of Superman itself.

Although the box office fell sharply, Warner Bros. was still able to make a small profit from the Superman project.

Of course, the Superman project was considered a failure, but the reason for the failure was bad reputation, or plagiarism.

As for the quality, on the contrary, the public is recognized.

Therefore, Warner Bros. has become more interested in imitating Steve Kevin's movies, especially the superheroes shot by Steve Kevin.

Fits too well with their lines.

Under such circumstances, Superpopular lost its reputation, and Warner Bros. turned its attention to the Green Lantern among the Justice League giants.

Because of Kevin's various guidance, Warner Bros. embarked on the road of no return ahead of schedule.

Lost the big IP of Harry Potter again.

Due to various factors, Warner will only be more and more inclined to cooperate with Kevin in the future.

·····

Time flies and two months have passed.

Spider-Man has been released all over the world.

Dawn Films.

Kevin sat in his office in a cool beach outfit.

Dawson was holding a stack of data and was reporting something to him.

...

"Spider-Man has achieved a total box office of US$12 billion worldwide. Excluding all publicity and distribution costs, our initial profit is estimated to be around US$380 million. This is still just a pure box office share."

"Driven by the movie, the sales of Spider-Man's various peripherals have seen a huge increase. At the same time, many TV stations are asking us to authorize them to do related TV programs, and Disney is willing to spend 1000 million US dollars to purchase a one-year authorization. , they’re going to do a year-round special for Spider-Man.”

"..."

It took more than half an hour to say this.

Kevin finally figured out what happened during the vacation.

First of all, Spider-Man was released, and the profit in the early stage was directly [-] million US dollars. This figure, in this era, is an extremely terrifying figure.

There are no more than five hundred billionaires in the United States at this time.

This is what Kevin calculated when he grew up.

You know, in 2020, there was a data that announced that the number of billionaires in the United States was 2605.

This is based on statistics from the Inland Revenue Department.

Count the few big men who can't even touch the tax bureau, let's count 2700 billionaires.

And many of them made their fortunes through the Internet age. Money in the Internet age is much, much easier to earn than it is now.

In this era, five hundred is already an exaggerated number, and the gold content of the current billionaire is even more exaggerated.

This is only Spider-Man's first profit, subsequent peripheral authorization, plus DVD release and so on.

It is also expected to have a profit of more than [-] million US dollars.

It's just that this profit will be an unusually long payback time.

Chapter 248 Anime IP

And then there's the Warner Bros. Superman movie.

When the box office data came out on the first day, it surprised Dawson, but the follow-up word of mouth was criticized by countless viewers because the plot was too similar to Batman.

As a result, the decline was very huge, and it was offline in advance after only 20 days of release.

When the news was told to Kevin, Kevin couldn't help but laugh, as expected.

The former Warner, with Marvel's successful template in front, still made that half-dead look.

Now, without Marvel's template in front, it is even more difficult for them to explore on their own.

And Kevin's Batman from the Dark Universe awaits them.

Kevin really couldn't think of any chance of their success.

Kevin even thought about it, and there may be a chance to acquire DC in the future.

After all, Warner's Harry Potter was poached by him, and DC was also led astray by him. No one can say whether the future Warner Bros. can continue the glory of this giant.

"I see."

"How's the Harry Potter crew getting ready?"

Dawson flipped through the information in his hand, raised his head and said:

"The main actors have been assembled, but according to your request, the Hogwarts College we built in the suburbs is only partly completed, and we are still catching up."

"Well, you can shoot other plots first, and then shoot the plots in the academy after the academy is built."

Dawson nodded.

"Then there's no problem, everything is ready, and we can start filming anytime."

"Okay, you notify the crew immediately, and gather at the MGM studio in three days to start filming."

"Yes."

After finishing the order, Kevin left the company and went to a high-end headhunting company.

Yep, this time Harry Potter, Kevin is playing really big.

The total investment is 3000 million US dollars.

It is the film with the largest investment among all his films, in which MGM and Chenxi Films each allocate half of the funds and share the copyright income.

The copyright belongs to Chenxi Films.

I won’t say much about the details of these left-handed and right-handed transfers. On the whole, it’s basically Kevin who invested in this movie alone.

In order to maximize the interests of the film.

Like Director Victor, the movie may not make money, but the studio left by the movie can get a lot of benefits outside of the movie.

For this reason, Kevin directly took over a large piece of wasteland in a suburb thirty miles away from San Francisco.

The land in the suburbs is relatively cheap. Even so, it cost Kevin 7000 million U.S. dollars, and at the same time, he has to pay a large amount of taxes to the municipality every year.

This is also Kevin's attempt to expand his film business.

During these two months, Kevin was not completely playing, he was also thinking about future development.

The core of his career lies in movies, and this will definitely not change.

But how can the benefits of the film be brought into full play.

After some hard thinking, Kevin thought of Disney.

There is no need to say much about the scale of Disney. An amusement park alone is simply a gold-sucking cave in later generations.

Can make a lot of cash every year, which is different from those virtual economies, this is the real economy.

The ability to take risks is extremely high.

Financial network companies rise quickly, but die quickly.

This kind of company has never been the career Kevin wants to do.

But Disney can.

The biggest factor for Disney's success is the countless animation IPs in its hands.

Having said that, I have to mention MGM.

MGM also holds some good anime IPs.

Among animation IPs, there will be a ranking in the future.

Among them, the most powerful animation IP, that is, the animation IP that has created the most revenue, is the well-known Pokémon, also known as Pokémon.

No.4 is the well-known Mickey Mouse.

No.8 Mario, No.10 Harry Potter.

Marvel is ranked No.11.

Of course, this is also related to time. Marvel started relatively late, so the total revenue created is not as good as the previous ones for the time being, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

But this also shows the importance of IP.

And MGM has a god-level IP like cat and mouse, which urgently needs to be developed by Kevin.

Plus Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Marvel and other IPs in hand.
