After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Inside Fox.

Titanic, the next day's data, sent over.

"660?"

The next day's data still looks like this.

This made Fox and Paramount difficult to accept.

To do this, they make a joint decision.

Stop all publicity, and then, as long as it can be shown, it will be shown for as long as possible.

Return a little book, a little book.

At present, the loss of the Titanic is a foregone conclusion.

They must find other projects to make up for this huge shortfall.

Fortunately, Fox has a dividend from The Matrix. Although it is in exchange for giving up the copyright of the comic adaptation, Fox is not losing money after all.

It's Paramount.

There is no such project as The Matrix, and it is still eating the old roots of Mission: Impossible.

This wave, for Paramount, is really debilitating. At this time, Paramount is already thinking about the new movie project of Mission: Impossible III.

When everyone lost confidence in the Titanic.

People have turned their attention to other aspects.

The Titanic was shown in the movie in such a tepid way.

Time flies and more than a month has passed.

Kevin was photographing Harry Potter in Hogwarts Amusement Park.

The company is also operating normally.

Christmas time is over.

Blockbuster films have been released from all walks of life.

Most of the movies appearing in movie theaters at this time are small productions.

Titanic, during the Christmas schedule, was beaten by various blockbusters and could only be placed at the bottom, but it was placed in this schedule when other blockbusters had already been released.

It actually succeeded in winning the first place at the box office.

This is something that many people didn't expect. You must know that it has been released for a month and a half, and there are really not many movies that can have the same box office as the first day's box office.

The box office trend of Titanic is really unexpected.

···········

Fox.

"President Davis, the box office of Titanic is still increasing, and compared with the box office at the premiere, it is a little higher. It still has a box office of about 500 million US dollars every day."

Marvin Davis, who was thinking about new projects and completely gave up paying attention to the Titanic, was taken aback for a moment.

Then asked:

"The Titanic hasn't been offline yet? It's been a month and a half."

The executive who reported nodded, and relayed the original words of the theater:

"The overall attendance rate of the movie is not bad. The theaters said that they are still profitable now, and there are no blockbuster movies released recently. They will always keep a certain amount of movies for Titanic. When the box office drops to 200 million US dollars Then think about going offline."

Davis nodded.

As long as the attendance rate can cover the cost of the screening, and there are no blockbuster films to squeeze out the film schedule, for Fox, naturally, the longer the screening time, the better.

"How much box office has Titanic grossed now?"

"There are already 4000 million."

Davis froze again.

"Then..., if we can maintain this situation and continue to show for two months, wouldn't we be able to pay back the cost?"

"The president is right."

Davis, only then did I realize that the Titanic didn't seem to be a loser?

This trend is really weird.

But it's already here, and it's too late to add more promotional fees.

But, you can also choose to release it overseas to expand your income.

Because the box office was too low before, they never planned to release Titanic all over the world.

You must know that the cost of overseas screenings is much higher than that of domestic screenings in the United States.

If we say that in the United States, with a box office of [-] million US dollars, these big film companies can get close to half of the profits.

So overseas, if you can get 2000 million US dollars, you can get [-] million US dollars, which is considered too much.

If the box office is too low, it may not even be enough to cover the cost.

It's different now.

The special trend of Titanic made Davis realize that the movie was profitable.

He immediately went to Paramount and discussed with the president of Paramount.

Together they made the decision to push the Titanic to the world.

····

On the other hand, Leonardo's current mood is very complicated.

The peculiar trend of the Titanic made him, the leading actor, not only fail to become famous in one fell swoop, but also feel a bit out of play.

That bad mood was completely fulfilled.

Right now, he can't get any good film contracts at all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy his good friend, Tobey Maguire.

Who would have thought that a big production with an investment of [-] million US dollars would bring less benefits to the actor than a blockbuster with tens of millions of dollars.

Judging from the trend of the Titanic, it is estimated that it will not lose money in the follow-up, and it can still make money, but this special trend is actually not very good for him, the hero.

Because it's a typical director's film.

Not very flattering.

Unlike Steve Kevin's movies, which can always make people a superstar in one fell swoop, everyone knows that James Cameron's movies are credited to the director.

Actors are not that important.

It's the same for anyone.

Although in the future, Leonardo DiCaprio will be known by mainland netizens because of the Titanic.

But in the United States, in fact, Titanic, apart from adding a classic role to him, does not have much benefit.

The biggest evidence is that his next movie will not be released until 2000.

During this period, there was a gap of more than one and a half years, and the movie he chose called The Beach was not a big production.

Leonardo, suddenly there was an idea of wanting to cooperate with Steve Kevin.

Chapter 256 Leonardo's Plan

If you want to talk about which director is the most flattering, Steve Kevin bears the brunt.

Although in Kevin's own opinion, he just gave the right movie to the right actor, after all, although some actors have not yet proved themselves in Hollywood at this time.

But in the future, these actors have already proven themselves.

Just like Jim Carrey.

Before playing Batman The Dark Knight, people thought he was a top comedian, but he was just a comedian.

Nobody thinks he's just as good at normal movie acting.

Under this cognition, Jim Carrey cannot receive movies other than comedies.

But Kevin turned him from a comedian into a real actor.

The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is the best recognition for him.

The reason why Kevin dared to take this risk is actually because of Jim Carrey's superb acting skills in the world of Truman in the future.

Fully proved his strength.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, these behaviors mean that Kevin has a unique vision and can always tap the true potential of an actor.

That is another way of saying that people will be flattered.

After the Titanic, Leonardo, who was temporarily free, had this sudden idea, so it was not a whim.

Do it when you think of it.

Leonardo immediately contacted his good friend, Tobey Maguire.

···

At this time, Tobey Maguire can be described as infinitely beautiful.

The success of Spider-Man made him a first-line movie star in Hollywood in one fell swoop, and his salary directly came to between 1000 million and 500 million.

The specific amount will be discussed in detail according to the producer, director, and scale of the film.

But the minimum will not be less than 1000 million, which is the standard for first-line male movie stars.

As the protagonist, it is absolutely impossible to lower this standard.

After confirming the release of Spider-Man 2, with an interval of at least one year, Tobey Maguire accepted the invitation to star in a medium-scale commercial film invested by Columbia with a salary of 1000 million to 300 million.

Filming is about to begin in February.

Before filming, Tobey Maguire lingered in various nightclubs.

It is different from the national conditions of the mainland.

Going to nightclubs does not have any adverse effects on Americans.

At the same time, there will be no negative remarks when there are multiple female friends gathering. It is not surprising that Americans have all the behaviors of messing around before they get married.

Only after he got married, these things would be highlighted by the media.

···

At this time, inside a bar.

Tobey Maguire is having very lively conversations with several women.

"Let me tell you that after director Kevin interviewed me at that time, he immediately decided to let me play the leading role in his new movie."

"He thinks I'm the only one for Spider-Man."

"Later, you all know that the Spider-Man movie is a big hit, and my salary for the new movie has directly increased to 300 million dollars!"

Several women were shocked one by one, and their attitude towards Tobey Maguire became more enthusiastic.

Even if it is a first-line movie star, not everyone knows it.

But when it comes to the amount of remuneration, everyone is very clear.

In this day and age, $300 million is unimaginable money.

If it weren't for this being a bar in an upscale neighborhood, Toby Ma Kuiron wouldn't have dared to be so high-profile.
