After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

This peculiar magical world has naturally attracted the attention of the audience.

Movies run fast.

After the movie ended, Kevin came to the stage to thank some audiences for their support and friends for their support, and then left the movie theater.

As for the specific data, Dawson will give it to him after collecting it the next day, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

·····

The time came to December eleventh.

Early in the morning, the news about Harry Potter covered all the channels through which people received news from the outside world.

This kind of propaganda is even more eye-catching than the US presidential election.

Of course, this kind of publicity is naturally spent by Chenxi Film Company, but it is not only due to the money spent. Steve Kevin's new movie itself represents a huge traffic.

Even in places where Chenxi Film Company did not have a public relations presence, the media took the initiative to report relevant news in order to gain popularity.

Inside Warner Bros.

Robinov collected many newspapers early in the morning and read them.

[Director Steve Kevin's latest masterpiece, a never-before-seen magical world comparable to Lord of the Rings, is worth watching. 】

[Steve Kevin's new work, a good movie for all ages, suitable for the whole family to watch together. 】

【····】

All kinds of rainbow farts, like crazy advocating Harry Potter without money.

Robinov blushed for Steve Kevin. These media exaggerated him, leaving no room for it.

Chapter 285 High Box Office and Low Word of Mouth

According to them, Steve Kevin seems to have become the most powerful director in Hollywood, unmatched by anyone.

But Robinov knows that there are still two directors who can be compared.

One is James Cameron, who was completely goded after the Titanic, and the other is the boss of DreamWorks Films, Steven Spielberg.

It's a pity that the relationship between James Cameron and Fox is too close to be dug if you want to.

Steven Spielberg is even the boss of a film company himself, and the way of cooperation can only be invested to get a share of the box office, and the follow-up income is not shared by these investors.

This is clearly not someone they want to work with.

Robinov was heartbroken when he thought that after Steve Kevin parted ways with them, he climbed all the way, and Warner suffered losses again and again.

Of course, the biggest reason is that if this continues, his position as president will be lost.

And he was fired because of poor management. I am afraid that no one would dare to accept him as the president of another company in the future, which means that his career is likely to end here.

Thinking of this, Robinov was extremely anxious.

At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he could find a way to repair the relationship with Steve Kevin, and the two sides continued to cooperate.

Of course, there is also the way forward for Warner Bros.

The DC movie universe project has been temporarily shelved since the fiasco of Green Lantern. There is no way, the loss is too miserable.

The production cost of 5000 million US dollars, plus the publicity and distribution, totaled the total cost of 8000 million US dollars.

Externally, the total cost of publicity was 8000 million U.S. dollars, but in the end it only earned about [-] million U.S. dollars.

Basically, it can be said that a blood loss of [-] million US dollars, counting the Batman and Superman projects, and other scattered movies, Warner's life in the past two years can be described as extremely sad, it is no wonder that he misses the relationship with Steve When Kevin cooperates, it feels like lying down and making money.

The morning time passed quickly.

When Kevin did not receive Harry Potter's box office data, Robinov had already received Harry Potter's box office and word of mouth.

[The box office on the first day was 800 million US dollars! 】

Robinov's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe the data.

Harry Potter's first-day box office even surpassed Batman, The Dark Knight series, and Spider-Man, creating an unprecedented miracle.

This made him feel extremely regretful.

Of course, if he knew that the original Harry Potter was produced by Warner during his tenure, he might not feel remorse, and he might just want to pull out a gun and shoot Steve Kevin.

Shocked by the box office, Robinov numbly looked at the word-of-mouth below, only to realize that compared with Steve Kevin's other movies, Harry Potter's word-of-mouth is actually much worse.

It can even be said that it is the movie with the lowest reputation in Steve Kevin's history.

The main point of attack is that the audience of this movie is children-oriented, and many adults are actually not interested in this movie.

They all complained that they were actually just going through the motions with their children. They didn't like this movie very much, and it was even worse than ordinary commercial movies.

These people also questioned Steve Kevin's director ability.

This made Robinov feel better, and at the same time silently speculated whether Harry Potter would be the beginning of Steve Kevin's Waterloo.

After all, there has never been such a prolific director as Steve Kevin, and at the same time, they all maintain high quality, which is hardly a normal person.

This made Robinov temporarily hesitate to contact Steve Kevin. In case Steve Kevin fails again and again after that, he will take the initiative to contact Steve Kevin. It's not worth losing his face.

The word face is actually used all over the world, there is no one who doesn't want face, especially an upper-class person like him.

····

Dawn Films.

Inside Kevin's office.

Kevin lay on the sofa and let Dawson report the data. As for the other directors, they were all busy with their own affairs and had no time to care about Harry Potter's situation.

By the way, the Russo brothers have put together a small-budget comedy film called Welcome to Collingwood. Anyway, Kevin has no impression of the movie. After reading the proposal, Kevin arranged for the investment to let them go after Christmas. , and start shooting right away.

"Harry Potter, $800 million on its first day!"

Dawson read the data excitedly.

In other words, Chenxi Film Company is not a listed company, otherwise, the stock price may go crazy. I have to say that Steve Kevin alone can support a film giant with a market valuation of 50 billion US dollars. company.

This is the trust of the stockholders in him, and it is also the value of his reputation that has never failed.

Facing this result, Kevin was not very happy.

In the original history, Harry Potter, which was released in 2001, made a full box office of 9000 million US dollars on the first day. Compared with this achievement, Kevin's Harry Potter was actually a failure.

However, from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which started with a box office of 9000 million US dollars on the first day, to the end of the North American box office of [-] million US dollars, it can be seen that the subsequent decline of Harry Potter will be exaggerated. A little bit Kevin knows.

Of course, making money is a sure thing.

I just don't know whether the original Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's global box office of 9.78 million US dollars can be broken by Kevin.

Kevin's indifference made Dawson unable to get excited.

But he has long been used to Kevin's tone.

In the face of his own movies, Kevin is always so confident, as if it is not surprising that he has achieved any achievements. This confidence makes him amazed.

The awe of Kevin is hidden in his heart.

After reading the box office, Dawson began to read word-of-mouth surveys and audience ratings.

But the more he read, the more ugly Dawson's face became. At the end of the read, he became even more worried:

"Kevin, you said Harry Potter, will there be a situation like Green Lantern, and the box office will plummet?"

"It will plummet, but it won't be that dramatic."

Kevin replied lightly.

This calm tone made Dawson unable to panic.

Kevin calmly said:

"At the box office, I know what's in my mind, you don't have to worry about it."

The reason for Harry Potter's word-of-mouth, Kevin is very clear that the audience of his movie is actually children, and children have no right to speak in the film investigation, so the word-of-mouth will not be good.

However, this does not affect the popularity of Harry Potter. After all, children insist on watching it. How could an adult refuse a child's request.

From this point of view, it means that two to three people start, and there are even more families with many children.

Therefore, even if it plummets, Harry Potter's box office will not be too bad.

Chapter 286 Hogwarts Theme Park Advance Tickets

And compared to other movies, Harry Potter is more profitable off the scene.

From selling books, to peripherals, to theme parks.

and various authorizations.

Not surprisingly, Harry Potter's other income can even be compared with the box office profits brought by the movie itself.

It's just that this is just the first step for Kevin to create an IP, and the step is not that big. Otherwise, he can even build multiple Hogwarts theme parks at once to earn more money faster. much profit.

Of course, Kevin has other ideas about this.

If he is allowed to follow the wholly-owned model of Disney, then no matter how much time is given to Kevin, he will never try to surpass Disney.

Therefore, through the experience of the previous life, Kevin had a brand new idea.

That is to build Hogwarts into a big brand, allowing people from any country in the world to participate in the opportunity of building the Hogwarts brand by joining.

In the simplest terms, that is, Kevin will provide the IP, and other people will provide the land and money, and they must accept Kevin's supervision to ensure that there will be no things that affect the brand's popularity.

Such conditions are naturally very harsh. Therefore, if Kevin wants others to actively participate, he must ensure that the Hogwarts theme park project can make money.

This is the biggest reason why Kevin chose to postpone the release of Harry Potter.

He wanted to ensure that the popularity of Harry Potter could be most directly transferred to this project.

At that time, using this IP, Kevin will build a Hogwarts theme park all over the world at zero cost. He will pay for the IP, and others will pay for it, and the profit will be split in half.

In this regard, Kevin did not appear to be too greedy. After all, each country has different national conditions. If these profits are not given up, I am afraid that Hogwarts theme parks in many countries will not be able to be built at all.

This kind of cooperation can minimize troubles and create a big capital for Kevin that surpasses Disney.

Dawson nodded, Kevin said that he didn't need to worry about the box office, so naturally he didn't need to mention it.

Kevin then asked about the Hogwarts theme park that he cared most about.

"Dawson, how about the Hogwarts pre-sale tickets and peripheral sales?"

These two data are the data that can best reflect the influence of Harry Potter, as for things like word of mouth.

To be honest, the right to speak is not in the mouths of the small audience of this movie. If adults are allowed to comment, this is like a beautiful fairy tale, and the difference is definitely not bad.

But compared with Kevin's previous Matrix, Batman and Dark Knight, the interior is undoubtedly far from it.

Of course, the internal is internal, and profit is another matter.

From the very beginning, Kevin has positioned himself as profit-first.

To put it bluntly, like Steven Spielberg, he uses movies more as a tool on his life path, rather than a so-called love of art.

In this regard, among the three giants of Hollywood directors, only James Cameron may be due to his love for movies.

Dawson glanced at the data in his hand and reported:

"Before the movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released, the number of pre-sale tickets was [-]."

"After the premiere of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on the day of its release, there was an immediate surge. As of twelve o'clock today, [-] tickets have been pre-sold."

"There are so many?"

Only then did Kevin show a little bit of joy.

Chapter 287

This is 500 tickets, 3000 US dollars a ticket is [-] million US dollars, counting other income measures in the theme park, after removing the cost, it can earn about [-] million US dollars at least.

Of course, Kevin knew that this was not the norm.

Stimulated by the movie, these audiences' desire to buy will be greatly enhanced. This is why [-] pre-sale tickets were sold before the theme park opened.

This upsurge, along with the hits of Harry Potter, will last for some time.
