After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Behind the scenes, I don't know how many good things about Steve Kevin and Zach Schneider have been said.

In the midst of such overwhelming publicity, this film that can stimulate the hormones of both men and women began its premiere.

Out of some discomfort, Kevin did not choose to attend the premiere of the film.

Chapter 317 Targeted

To put it bluntly, Kevin himself can't watch this kind of movie.

But this kind of movie does have a big market in Hollywood.

····

This peculiar comic-style movie, through the hands of Zack Snyder, has shown an extraordinary charm.

Coupled with special publicity measures, as soon as it was released, it was surrounded by a large number of fashionable young people.

Countless handsome men and beautiful women stepped into the movie theater in pairs, and this trend even spread to high school students. Couples of high school students also stepped into the movie theater one after another.

Under such circumstances, on the premiere day, it was hard to get a ticket for the Three Hundred Spartan Warriors, and even in some big movie theaters.

At the same time, the trend of the three hundred warriors of Sparta also attracted the attack of a large number of righteous men.

For example, a certain Christian newspaper, whose name is the official media of the church, published these remarks in its newspaper.

"Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta. The scale of this movie is too large. It has caused a lot of influence among young people and seriously violated the will of the Lord. Here, I strongly recommend that all major movie theaters block this movie."

In the United States, the influence of the church is quite large.

As soon as this newspaper came out, there was a huge wave of boycotts.

Inside Dawn Film Company.

Zach Schneider looked at the box office of 800 million on the first day, with a frown on his face.

This first-day box office data is actually very impressive.

And the key point is that this is the first film he produced completely independently in the true sense. Being able to achieve this box office result is actually a great affirmation of his strength.

Originally, he was very satisfied.

After all, if things go on like this, it will be easy for the three hundred warriors of Sparta to earn a North American box office of [-] to [-] million.

If you add overseas markets, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

This is also worthy of Steve Kevin's training for him.

Unexpectedly, just after it was released, it actually caused a lot of trouble for the church.

Zach Schneider couldn't help having a headache.

Looking at Kevin who was still calm, Schneider asked for help:

"Kevin, what shall we do next?"

Although he felt a headache, Steve Kevin could always give people confidence.

Seeing Kevin so calm, Schneider's mood seemed to calm down.

"Don't worry, I'll make a call."

Kevin reassured Schneider, then called Robinov.

"Kevin, what's wrong?"

Just reached a good cooperation with Kevin, Robinov's tone became more enthusiastic,

"It's like this. The church just made a statement in the media, saying that it is going to boycott the movie Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta released by Chenxi Film Company. I want to ask you. Is there any misunderstanding in this?"

"I want you to find out for me."

"Leave this to me. Before tomorrow, I should be able to figure it out."

During the phone call, Robinov readily agreed.

This kind of easy thing can sell Steve Kevin a favor, which is a very profitable thing.

He has no reason to refuse.

"Thank you then, I owe you a favor."

After all, Kevin hung up the phone.

In a place like the United States, there is only one possibility for this kind of thing to happen suddenly, and that is that the three hundred warriors of Sparta touched the interests of some people in the sect and provoked this kind of thing.

Otherwise, even sects would not take the initiative to get themselves into trouble.

After all, this is America, not the Vatican.

After asking Robinov to help with the investigation, Kevin raised his head again, looked at Zach Schneider and said:

"Schneider, on your side, organize some movie fans to parade around the church gate."

"We also need to express our attitude and let the church know that we are not easy to mess with."

Schneider nodded.

The church was already riding on his head, and he couldn't sit still any longer.

Once the movie fails at the box office, even if Kevin doesn't blame him, he will blame himself.

Of course, it is indispensable to be ridiculed by Mitt for a few years, which is not acceptable.

People in this land are not afraid of any god.

You bless me to get rich, you are a good god, if you want to take my money, sorry, you are a devil.

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away to see if I can find some fanatical movie fans. I'll go to the parade with them."

Schneider readily agreed.

····

Time flies to the next day.

The box office on the first day was 600 million. Compared with Steve Kevin's movie, it is really mediocre, not outstanding.

But in fact, in Hollywood, this is already the achievement that a successful commercial film director should have.

In the dark, I don't know how many film companies are coveting Zach Snyder.

Any successful commercial film director is sought after by major Hollywood film companies.

In fact, in Hollywood, most ordinary film companies, their source of profit is not the box office of the film, but the various distribution expenses in the production of a film.

And the cost of their film production is actually borne by foreign investors.

So why do foreign investors choose to invest in these film companies?

It depends on who the director and actor they are working with.

If it is a combination of top directors like Steve Kevin plus Nicolas Cage or Tom Cruise plus top actors.

Then the investors hardly care about the risk. Whether it is [-] million or [-] million US dollars, I am afraid that there will be people who will invest in them.

And if it's just an unknown little director in Hollywood, even an investment of 100 million US dollars is not so easy to think of.

Almost all film companies in Hollywood make money in this way.

If you simply rely on your own investment and make money from the box office, the risk factor is extremely high.

While movies have extremely high profits, the risks are equally high.

There are many film companies, but they did not grasp the scale of their own investment, and the direct measure of simply making profits, which led to their bankruptcy due to insufficient income.

Hollywood giants, the reason why they become giants is that they have many films, all of which are self-made, and they have achieved success.

Only then did he ascend to the position of Hollywood film giant in one fell swoop.

Among them, I don't know how many film companies have lost money in their investment and fell.

After decades of development.

Any Hollywood film company knows that only a good director can make good movies that make money.

Of course, this is the current perception of Hollywood.

With the development of Marvel IP, Hollywood film companies will realize that the quality of a movie is determined by the director.

But whether a movie can make money is determined by the producer.

Chapter 318 Counterattack

Directors are responsible only for their own work, while producers are responsible to the studio.

For the sake of his own work, the director sometimes doesn't work hard towards the box office, while the producer's everything is working towards making money.

Even later, Hollywood gradually became a producer-centric system.

Movies are also getting worse.

This is almost an inevitable development after capital enters the entertainment industry.

From the director's point of view, I can't shoot whatever I want, which is of course a bad thing and a step backward.

From the perspective of capital, that is, the film company, it is naturally a good thing to control the director's indiscriminate spending of money and greatly reduce the chance of losing money.

From the audience's point of view, the movies are becoming more and more the same, without the flavor of a hundred flowers blooming, and seem even more boring.

Of course, a big director like Kevin is the only one.

Even if he didn't open a film company, no producer would be able to control him just because of his status as a great director.

Just like James Cameron, if he said that he was overrun, he was overrun, and the producer didn't care about him at all.

You are not willing to invest, but many people are willing to invest. This is the status of a great director.

And even if it doesn't reach Kevin's level, if it can maintain its own movies and the overall profitability has been good, which is the level of ordinary famous directors, it can also counter the producer to a certain extent.

Such a Zack Schneider, I don't know how many people have invited him.

Invite him to make a movie, invite him to leave Sunrise Films and so on.

Zack Snyder turned them all down.

In terms of money, the conditions they offer are not much more than what Kevin offered. In terms of rights, it is more free to make movies with Kevin.

You can also get advice from Kevin, and they get along very well.

Ordinary people really can't poach him.

And on the next day, due to the influence of the church, the box office of the movie saw a big drop even though word of mouth did not collapse.

It only achieved a box office result of 3000 million U.S. dollars. This result instantly made Schneider feel a sense of urgency.

With a group of people, Schneider started his troublesome journey outside the Los Angeles Cathedral.

"We have the right to express ourselves freely and the church should not interfere with people's freedom."

"We want freedom, the church shut up!"

"We want freedom, the church shut up!"

"..."

In the United States, for freedom is also a kind of political correctness.

This is what is written in the US Constitution.

Although in the future, this so-called freedom will be distorted, but in the current era, we should carry the banner of freedom.

Even the church is hard to resist.

···

At the Los Angeles Cathedral, Bishop Paul Sanley looked at the procession blocking the door, his face could not help being clouded.

In fact, the remarks against the three hundred warriors of Sparta were transmitted to the media through his dictation.

In other words, he expressed his personal opinion in the name of the church.

Theoretically, as long as no one speaks, then this kind of private use of sectarian power will be nothing in the future.

He never expected that Zach Schneider would do this, and he would have a headache like this. Once there was a big trouble and the Vatican intervened, he would be in trouble.
