After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"At the same time, the company will also guarantee that there are movies to be made, and the movie's box office profit exceeds a certain amount, and there will be bonuses."

"···"

The contract is naturally not that simple. Here, Kevin simply described to him the treatment given by Chenxi Movie.

These treatments made Christopher Nolan's eyes shine.

Although those who can be directors usually come from families that are not too bad, the treatment given by Kevin still makes him feel very generous.

Given the chance, Kevin would finance their films, or arrange projects directly.

There is also a base salary.

This contract means that even if he hasn't made money for Chenxi Films for ten years, he can still get 200 million US dollars for nothing.

He couldn't get this contract, no matter where it was except Chenxi Movies.

In fact it is.

Ordinary film companies, of course, would not make such a crazy move.

Kevin's ability to offer such favorable conditions is also based on his understanding of them.

Except for Mitt, he didn't have much impression, but he was a roommate with him, and he was brought out step by step.

The others are all famous directors in Kevin's memory.

$200 million for ten years and nothing.

But it can greatly win people's hearts.

It's really a bargain.

After chatting with Christopher Nolan for a few more words, after learning that Christopher Nolan is his little fanboy, Kevin felt somewhat refreshed.

Then Christopher Nolan was sent away, and he was asked to sign the contract, and after he settled down, he came to organize the crew of the movie Memory Fragments.

····

Early the next morning, in Los Angeles Studios.

The premiere of Taken is on.

All kinds of interviews went through a routine.

This movie, the starring lineup, is really not luxurious, and there is not much to say.

The focus of the media is why Jet Li, a Chinese, can get the favor of Steve Kevin.

Still the same sentence, in the United States, the more you emphasize something, the more serious the discrimination behind it is.

In terms of tolerance, the United States is far behind the mainland.

What human rights are emphasized every day, in fact, they are the place where human rights are least emphasized.

In the United States, only the upper class have human rights.

The general public, not people.

Discrimination is everywhere.

First class for whites, second class for blacks, third class for other colored people, fourth class for Chinese.

This is basically the American caste system.

Although it is not marked by gender like India, this kind of discrimination based on race and ethnicity has always existed.

Kevin is also rejoicing that he did not start from scratch in the United States as a Chinese.

Otherwise, he would not have the status he has now.

A Chinese can at most be a great director.

Once you imagine yourself like him and head towards capital, there will be no bones left that have been gnawed by others.

On the contrary, because they are both Caucasians, and because Kevin knew better about profit sharing in the early stage, he used the blessing of other capital to avoid various disasters in the early stage.

That's how it got to this point.

Jet Li was made things difficult by the media, and Kevin didn't go out right away.

He was able to help Jet Li for a while, but he couldn't help Jet Li for the rest of his life.

He was able to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood in his previous life, and Kevin believes that he can do the same in this life.

···

In fact, Jet Li's face turned green when he was asked.

Also known for his kung fu, Bruce Lee, aka Bruce Lee, conquered Hollywood.

Then Jet Li was asked the most by the media to compare him with Bruce Lee.

Although he is very confident, the current him cannot be compared with Bruce Lee at all, but he is not willing to let him be subdued.

Therefore, those who are asked by the media often hesitate.

This makes the interview effect greatly reduced.

"Mr. Jet Li, do you think you are worthy of the leading role in this movie directed by Steve Kevin?"

"Taken, will it be the beginning of Waterloo directed by Steve Kevin?"

Some reporters raised sharp questions, one questioned that he was not worthy of the leading role in Steve Kevin's movie.

The second is to question the film.

This undoubtedly hit Jet Li's sore spot.

He also knows very well that Hurricane Rescue is crucial to gaining a foothold in Hollywood.

The movie failed, and he was about to get out of Hollywood in a disheveled manner.

No way, who made this a Steve Kevin movie.

Steve Kevin, who had never failed before, would not only affect his prestige if he failed.

The actors in that movie would end their careers directly.

After all, this is Steve Kevin's movie. Once it fails, even if it's just a small part of the scapegoat, it's not something the actor can bear.

A title of box office poison cannot escape.

More likely to be considered one of the culprits for screwing up the movie.

Therefore, Jet Li could not hear this.

He has this kind of worry in his heart, and now he is brought up to say, who will accept it.

Jet Li's complexion changed, and he said unhappily:

"Director Steve Kevin chose me. This is trust in me. I believe in Director Kevin's vision, and I also believe in myself. I am worthy of the leading role."

"Hurricane rescue can only succeed, never fail!"

Once this sentence is said, there is basically no turning back.

Taken failed at the box office, and he can get out of Hollywood in disgrace.

It seemed that his answer satisfied the media.

This is the end of the interview.

It can be expected that these words will become a kind of arrogant words under the rendering of the media.

For example, a mainlander, by luck, came to the United States and was lucky enough to be selected by director Steve Kevin. Not only was he not low-key, but he also spoke out arrogantly.

This kind of propaganda is indispensable.

The media all over the world like to make trouble.

If the box office fails, this kind of discourse will be ushered in overwhelmingly.

And if the box office is successful, this kind of discourse will become self-confidence.

After the interview session is over.

It was the high-level investors who showed up.

The familiar Robinoff once again came to the premiere of Steve Kevin's movie.

As a film jointly invested by both parties, Warner Times has a 20.00% five investment share, which is because they gave up the later income and deducted an extra 5.00% share from Kevin.

Chapter 365 Taken Premiere

Of course, they can't give up if they want to.

Who doesn't know about Steve Kevin's movies, investing is making money.

If it wasn't for the previous behavior, gaining Kevin's trust and repairing the relationship a little bit, plus Kevin also has a little demand for Time Warner.

This investment share is really not given away.

But now that Kevin has changed his mind and no longer eats alone, Warner Bros. has a different attitude towards Dawn Movies.

At least, there are no stumbling blocks, and at the same time, in some cases that do not affect their own interests, they can also help.

That's what Kevin is for.

For Fox, Paramount, and Warner Bros., Kevin will share a small portion of the profits with them to ensure that they can eat meat from him, but they are not full.

In this way, these giants will not play tricks, and at the same time, they can help Kevin resist external pressure to a certain extent.

This made the development of Chenxi Movie much smoother.

This is also related to the transformation of Kevin's ideas.

At the beginning, what Kevin pursued was to give up profits when he was weak, so that he could quickly accumulate capital, and even make himself capital.

After growing to a certain level, Kevin began to eat alone.

But after eating alone, Kevin found difficulties.

Resistance from all sides came, and in the end, Kevin chose to get acquainted with a few capitals and give up a small part of the profits.

In exchange for the steady development of the company.

Stabilize the basics of Hollywood.

At the same time, Kevin has only three goals for future external development.

Facebook, Apple and Netflix.

Some other big companies have either already risen, or he is not qualified to participate.

Although he is already a billionaire, his entire net worth is tens of billions.

But Microsoft in this era has a market value of hundreds of billions.

A market approaching trillions.

This is unmatched by a mere Hollywood company.

Yes.

It was only after Kevin got up by himself that he discovered the shortcomings of Hollywood.

To put it bluntly, Hollywood as a whole is not big enough.

Even if it develops into future generations, Hollywood giants will only have a market value of billions of dollars.

It's not small, but it's not up to par with those large companies that can easily reach hundreds of billions or trillions.

Of course, Hollywood's derivative industry market is still quite large.

Not to mention other things, just a Hogwarts theme park project, after it is actually implemented, there must be a volume of tens of billions of dollars.

And Chenxi Films itself has not broken through the tens of billions level.

Although the Hogwarts theme park is a derivative of Harry Potter, it has to be said that its market potential is much greater than that of movies.

After realizing this, Kevin has been trying to find a way.

The acquisition of Netflix is ​​one of them.

He didn't know how Netflix developed, but after the acquisition, he used the profit share to directly tie the original founder of Netflix.
