After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

The church's boycott of the 300 Spartan warriors aroused the interest of countless audiences.

What kind of a good movie would make the stinky church actively resist it.

In such a rebellious psychology, countless audiences stepped into the cinema one after another and began to watch the movie Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta.

And the box office of the movie that day was reversed for the first time.

From 300 million, it counterattacked to 500 million, which is close to the box office data of the first day.

And this craze is still going on, it seems that it can last more or less ten days and half a month.

Until then, Zach Schneider temporarily stopped his promotion of jumping up and down.

By this time, the intensity of the propaganda was almost over.

Those who want to see it will naturally go to see it, and those who don’t want to see it, others have to think about it when you send tickets.

···

Fast forward to August.

The movie "Fast and Furious" filmed by Steve Kevin began to be released around the world through MGM's overseas channels.

Such a purely commercial blockbuster, once it was released, occupied the top box office charts in countless small countries on the first day.

The reason is very simple.

Watching Steve Kevin's commercial blockbusters is always worth the ticket price.

In most small countries, the economy is not developed, and watching movies is currently regarded as a medium consumption activity.

It’s okay to go once or twice a month, but it’s definitely not something you can watch every day.

For the audience with the largest audience in the world, their first reaction when watching a movie is whether it is worth the ticket price.

Then, under this mentality, Hollywood blockbusters, especially commercial blockbusters shot by world-renowned directors like Steve Kevin, are undoubtedly worth the fare in their hearts.

It is in this case that Fast and Furious achieved a hot first-day performance as soon as it was released.

For overseas markets, no one watches Hollywood movies for the so-called art.

Everyone's purpose is to enjoy a visual feast.

And the movie Fast and Furious satisfies their needs very well.

There are no Hollywood movies in the same period that can compete with the movie Fast and Furious.

Even the Star Wars series.

The characteristic of Star Wars is that it is very, very popular in the United States.

But outside the United States, there are many people who know about it. If it is really popular, it is actually not as good as many Hollywood blockbusters.

The lightsaber plot is also unique to Americans.

Of course, there is another element, that is, Star Wars was actually released half a month earlier than Fast and Furious overseas.

Therefore, as soon as Fast and Furious was released, it directly won the box office champion of the day.

To put it simply and bluntly, Star Wars, which was released for half a month, was beaten by Fast and Furious at the box office in overseas markets.

The exciting drag racing elements have stimulated the hearts of countless movie fans.

It also led to batches of drag racing crazes, which caused a lot of trouble for the police in various countries.

In Japan, the legendary drag racing holy land, on Mount Akina.

It is because of the movie "Fast and Furious" that a professional racing event was held.

Many racing dealers, because of their speed and passion, are making a lot of money one by one.

It shows how wide the influence of Kevin's movie is.

At the same time, with the release of the movie.

The Mercedes-Benz series and Ferrari series, all kinds of models that appeared in the movie, are even more popular.

For this reason, the sponsors of Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari are even more fortunate in their hearts that they chose to believe in Steve Kevin's movie.

That's what paid off.

Of course, they also paid a huge investment.

But it's all worth it.

Steve Kevin's movie has brought their brand awareness to a whole new level, which is an achievement that tens of millions of dollars of investment cannot exchange for.

In their hearts, their trust in Steve Kevin was even higher.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the follow-up Fast and Furious series, as long as Kevin asks, they are willing to cover all the production costs.

No, not even Steve Kevin.

They will take the initiative to send money.

They are more afraid of being replaced than letting Steve Kevin speak.

That's all there is to market share.

The Fast and the Furious raised their profile, which naturally raised the profile of other brands as well.

Even if it is paying tens of millions of dollars to maintain this market share, while preventing other brands from occupying this share.

They also feel that it is worth a lot.

Of course, other brands are even more crazy about it.

No one could have imagined that the first time Steve Kevin placed an advertisement in a movie, the effect would be so good.

Among those who participated in the competition before, one of them even regretted it.

It's just a psychological factor.

The reality is that you didn't win the sponsorship, but your competitors did.

And this sponsorship has achieved very good results.

The consequence is that the person responsible for sponsoring the negotiations is responsible for this incident.

The people in charge at that time were demoted or transferred one by one, and they all paid the price.

This is the so-called workplace.

All about results.

No one expected such a success. At that time they did not have the right to make decisions, but they still had to take the blame.

···

Kevin doesn't care about the business operations of the outside world, and the people from Chenxi Films will handle the specific matters.

He just sits and waits for the money to be collected.

The salary expenditure of 3000 million U.S. dollars per year is no joke, and everyone is an elite in the industry.

Chenxi Films, as a rising giant, is undoubtedly a very promising company in the eyes of these elites.

Although what Steve Kevin meant was that Dawn Movies would never go on the market, they couldn't get dividends like options.

But instead, it is a salary level that is much higher than the market salary.

Future dividends, and current salary, no one is a fool.

What you get is real.

Relying on this high salary that disrupts the salary structure of the market, Chenxi Film Company has recruited a large number of talents.

In this regard, other film companies are of course quite critical.

But helpless.

The reason why Chenxi Film Company was able to offer such a high salary without going public.

Chapter 322

It's because they have Steve Kevin, a legendary director in Hollywood.

This allows them to have a series of classic movies and IP.

The cash flow of Chenxi Films is steady and healthy.

Without listing or cutting leeks, they can easily pay such a high annual operating cost.

This is the envy of other film companies.

As the president of Chenxi Film Company, Dawson's status in the circle has been rising steadily.

It has been regarded as equivalent to the status of the presidents of veteran film company giants like Warner Bros. and Paramount.

This also shows invisibly that although the hardware conditions have not kept up, in terms of software conditions, Chenxi Film Company has become a giant invisibly.

Of course, the premise is that Steve Kevin still maintains an undefeated record.

···

Inside Dawn Film Company.

It's time for a small meeting again.

Of course, it is mainly a few directors who are idle.

Zach Schneider, after achieving good results in the three hundred warriors of the Spartans, the whole person also started his own rest time.

Currently in the rest period, I have nothing to do, and I was pulled over by Kevin for a meeting.

Mitt was urged by Kevin to start filming Transformers because of the long break before, so he didn't come to this small meeting.

Kevin still remembers Hasbro's arrogance.

He is not going to give Hasbro any profit from Transformers.

The Russo brothers are forming a sequel to Spider-Man, and they have already started filming, but they didn't come.

There is also Zhang Yimou, who went back to the mainland to find someone to form his team, and the filming will start soon, so it is naturally impossible to participate in this meeting.

So, inside Kevin's office.

Currently, Kevin, Zach Schneider, and Tsui Hark are having a small meeting.

Looking at the empty office, thinking that Marvel still has so many sequels to shoot, Kevin felt a headache.

If it doesn't work, we can only find a few directors outside.

However, whether outside directors will follow Kevin's ideas and make standard commercial films is also a question.

The vast majority of directors like to include private affairs in movies.

In the words of the audience, it is Wenqing's illness.

I always want to do some work in the movie, but I don't know that the vast majority of audiences come to watch movies just for fun.

Kevin looked at Zack Schneider, who was slumped on the sofa with a relaxed expression, and tentatively said:

"Schneider, don't you think you should work harder at your age?"

"Look, you've been resting for seven days... No, it's been half a month, and it's almost time to start the next movie."

"You can't be content just because the 3.2 Spartans made $[-] million in North America."

Schneider suddenly couldn't sit still, and complained incessantly:

"Kevin, I've only rested for less than a week, how come it's been half a month in your mouth."

"Besides, it's not like you don't know how tired you are after filming a movie. Not to mention taking a half-year break like Mitt, you still need two or three months."

Kevin held his chin, and after thinking about it, he felt that it really made sense, so he let Zach Schneider go for the time being. Of course, it is inevitable to arrange work in advance.

"Okay, then I'll give you a three-month vacation, but I hope you can do something for me."

"what's up?"

When he heard about the three-month vacation, Zack Schneider was immediately excited.

God is sorry, before he became a director, he used to think that as long as there are movies to be made, even if he doesn't rest all the time.

But after he became a film director, he realized the hard work of the director.
