After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

The Transformers series is a movie made by Hasbro in cooperation with a Japanese company to sell toys.

Hasbro, as the investor, naturally holds the copyright.

It has been 1984 years since the production and broadcast began in 15.

These 15 years are enough to become childhood memories of a generation of young people.

The transformation of Transformers into a movie has instantly attracted the attention of countless young people.

Among the moviegoers, young people are the most, and they are also the previous audience of Transformers animation.

Its status is no less than that of Calabash Baby and Journey to the West animated version in mainland China.

Think about it, if a well-known director like Zhang Yimou announced that he would make Calabash Baby a real person, regardless of whether it was good or not, would he be able to get countless attentions.

Naturally, a large amount of publicity costs are saved.

Transformers, just edited a short clip of the main character Optimus Prime's car deformation, which attracted countless people to speak excitedly on the Internet.

This is exaggerated compared to Spider-Man and Hurricane Rescue. This kind of addition to childhood memories is the scariest.

Of course, this is about the film itself.

In view of the popularity of Steve Kevin and Spider-Man, the overall popularity of Transformers is still slightly lower.

But on the whole, the simultaneous promotion of these three films has almost covered the popularity of the promotion of all other films in the same period.

That includes Paramount's sequel, No. 3.

Of course, it also has a name called Mission: Impossible.

That is, Kevin's old friend, Tom Cruise's series of movies.

When Kevin made Mission Impossible appear in advance, the third part of this series also appeared in advance.

In the original history, the second part of Mission: Impossible was released at this time.

Now it's on to the third part.

However, the popularity of Mission Impossible is completely lost to these three movies.

It's also a childhood memory. The past of Mission: Impossible is too long. Those who use it as childhood memories have already become uncle-level characters and began to feel the pressure of life.

Naturally, there is no time to go to the cinema to support.

As for the director, the director of Mission Impossible, although Brian De Palma is not bad, has several movies with good box office results.

But in Hollywood, compared with Steve Kevin, he is obviously unworthy.

As for Spider-Man 2, the Marvel universe is much more famous than Mission: Impossible.

At the same time, Spider-Man 2 also has the popularity bonus of Spider-Man 1, as well as the popularity of Marvel Movie Universe Ghost Rider and Iron Man.

Mission: Impossible is no match.

It can be said that these three movies, no matter which one they are, are unmatched by Mission: Impossible.

Of course, in addition to Mission: Impossible 3, there are also movies with big investments such as Gladiator and Paramount’s Man 100% jointly produced by DreamWorks and Universal Pictures that are being promoted, but the promotion of these movies is completely overshadowed up.

At the same time, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which Kevin is more familiar with, has started publicity, and it will be available in North American theaters in July.

However, these films are vulnerable to the three major productions of Chenxi Films.

Whether it is from the Internet or the survey data on the paper media, it shows that the audience's expectations for these three films are far greater than those of other films.

····

The promotion of Chenxi Movie is step-by-step, and the popularity is overwhelming.

Tom Cruise naturally saw these promotional messages.

He suddenly had some ideas.

Originally, he and Nicole Kidman had been in a state of playing with each other for a long time, and he was planning to divorce Nicole Kidman in the past two years.

But when Nicole Kidman hooked up with Steve Kevin, he put the idea on hold instead.

No way, as a superstar, he is very clear about his foundation.

That is there are enough, good movies with big box office hits.

In this way, the capital will continue to invite him to make movies, and he will be able to get the current top Hollywood salary.

Maintain this current position.

Since the failure of Green Lantern, thanks to Steve Kevin for lifting him up with The Fast and the Furious.

Plus the sequel to the blockbuster Mission: Impossible.

The two series of movies can be regarded as barely maintaining the superstar status.

However, he still had a very strong sense of crisis in his heart.

This sense of crisis reached its peak after seeing the promotion of the three blockbuster films of Chenxi Movie, which easily defeated the popularity of Mission: Impossible.

At the same time, he also had an idea.

Listening to the noise made by Nicole Kidman in her room, Tom Cruise shouted to the room:

"Nini, come out, I have something to discuss with you."

Nicole Kidman, who was in the room, came out after hearing Cruise's shout.

Speaking of it, since she and Steve Kevin got on good terms, the relationship between her and Tom Cruise has become more harmonious.

It's more comfortable to get along with than the previous state of incoherence.

And no one mentioned the divorce.

Tom Cruise wants to keep his friendship with Steve Kevin, while Nicole Kidman enjoys the benefits of both sides at the same time.

Tom Cruise's fame, and Steve Kevin's benefits.

Chapter 354 The Movie

The name of Tom Cruise's wife has greatly increased her popularity. Does it match the film resources given to her by Steve Kevin? It makes her more prosperous in the industry than before.

It is already close to the position of a first-line actress.

There is no way, the growth path of female stars is much more difficult than that of male stars.

Especially in this era, an era when women's rights have not yet risen.

In this era, the heroines in movies are basically vases by default, and they require fair skin, beautiful skin and long legs.

Of course, in this era, it is more in line with men's aesthetics.

After all, men are so single-minded, they always like fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged women.

How can a hundred flowers bloom, but the Black Mermaid is hard to accept.

A man can deceive his brain and mouth, but he cannot deceive his lower body.

It is said that men are lower-body animals, but it can only be said that it is true.

"Crus, what's wrong?"

Nicole Kidman asked politely.

Now neither of the two parties wants to leave the other, but it is easier to get along than at the beginning, because they have become friends with stakes, and everyone speaks from the perspective of their own interests.

Looking at Nicole Kidman, Cruise spoke seriously:

"Nini, do you think if we sign an actor contract with Chenxi Film Company, Kevin will accept it?"

At present, Chenxi Films' main business is to produce movies, and the signed actors only have some small supporting roles. It can be said that there are not any famous actors in the industry.

In other words, the actor business of Chenxi Films is very thin at present.

If he is added, he will immediately become the top actor in the movie Dawn, and Steve Kevin's movie will definitely give priority to him in the follow-up.

In this way, his status as a superstar will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

It's just that, under the leadership of Steve Kevin, Chenxi Films has not actually started the business of actors.

It's the same as any other big studio.

The ultimate reason is actually that Hollywood actors are not willing to sign contracts with film companies, because this is a restriction for them.

Most of them are contracted with professional brokerage companies.

It is also a common phenomenon in Hollywood today to negotiate remuneration through a brokerage company.

If you sign a contract with a film company, first of all, the salary must not be so much, which is too risky for the film company.

Tom Cruise's idea is tantamount to lowering his own income.

Because Chenxi Film Company, like most film companies, does not give a good price, and because of Steve Kevin's name, he suppresses prices harder than other film companies.

The only thing he can get is the movie resources of Chenxi Movies.

But what Tom Cruise wants is actually movie resources.

Especially Steve Kevin's movie resources.

It is no exaggeration to say that the resources of his movies are now the only ones in Hollywood.

Nicole Kidman hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"I do not know either."

"Kevin never talked to me about casting plans anyway."

"Then let's go to Chenxi Film Company and have a chat with Kevin."

Hearing Cruise's idea, Nicole Kidman hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed.

Steve Kevin is a person who does not care about his heart, and she is very clear about this.

Maybe one day he will get tired of her and abandon her.

Instead of waiting for that day to come, it is better to find a way to reach a deeper cooperation with Steve Kevin, especially in terms of benefits.

This is the way to get along in the long run.

Both of them are smart people. After reaching an agreement, they immediately called Kevin and got the news that Kevin would be in the company tomorrow, so they made an appointment with Kevin to meet tomorrow.

····

After hanging up the phone, Kevin was a little unsure what Tom Cruise and his wife wanted him to do.

But what he has to deal with now is the schedule of these three movies.

Generally speaking, the previous schedule was determined after the film was shot and communicated with the theaters.

Now, Kevin has a different approach.

Publicize first, and after the popularity of the movie rises, then bring this wave of enthusiasm to negotiate with theaters.

Relying on Steve Kevin's name and the record of Chenxi Films, Kevin tried to force the theater to make concessions and give a higher share.

This is the unique treatment of Hollywood moguls.

Although Chenxi Films is not yet a giant in the true sense, its size and record have the capital to do so.

Of course, having said so much, the essence is to reduce the investment cost of movies.

From three times the box office return to twice the box office return, the gap between this is the gap between ordinary film companies and giants.

Of course, this negotiation was not for Kevin.

There is a dedicated team in the company to take care of such troublesome things.

Today, Chenxi Films has more than 300 people, counting some of them who are outside the channel, the overall number is about 400 people.

It's already a pretty big company.

The company naturally has such strong negotiators.

a few hours later.

Dawson came to Kevin's office with a smile on his face.

"Are we done talking?"

Kevin asked lightly.
