After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Although the audience's praise sounds very good, but as a behind-the-scenes worker, Kevin is somewhat unaccustomed to communicating with the audience.

His most intuitive feeling is actually the box office.

If you see too many questions from the audience, you will doubt yourself, just like writing a novel.

Many authors, because of various comments from readers, lead to writing more and more crooked.

Therefore, Kevin only looks at the general opinion, and the final feedback box office.

If the box office of any movie is lower than Kevin expected, then Kevin will reflect on it carefully, otherwise, he will probably continue to follow the current thinking of commercial films.

The premiere began at ten o'clock in the morning, and throughout the day, Hurricane Taken brought a wave of movie watching.

Among them, the fame of Steve Kevin and the huge publicity funds invested by Hurricane Rescue have contributed a lot.

After Kevin's emphasis on publicity and distribution has achieved good results, more and more film companies tend to increase their efforts in publicity and distribution, and they have also achieved good results.

Of course, the approximate ratio is still about [-]%.

The overall production cost of Taken is about 6000 million US dollars. From the perspective of a non-special effects blockbuster without superstars, this amount is not small at all.

At the same time, the publicity has already begun since the filming started.

Up to now, a total of nearly 3000 million publicity expenses have been spent.

The big production of hundreds of millions of dollars claimed by Chenxi Films is also true.

With this scale of publicity, it can be said that Hurricane Rescue has attracted much attention since it was released.

Amid all the attention, the first-day box office of the film was released again.

······

In the morning movie, the presidents of Fox and Paramount came to Kevin's office together.

They came here because they had received the data from the theaters in advance, and came to discuss the cooperation with Chenxi Films after learning the box office of Hurricane Rescue on the first day.

Seeing that Warner Bros. is about to make a fortune, they are not to be outdone, and want to discuss the next movie cooperation based on the previous cooperation with Chenxi Films.

Just as Hurricane Rescue is over, Kevin's next film is the best opportunity for cooperation.

But as soon as they entered Kevin's office, they found that Warner's president Robinov was also there.

"Why do you two have time to come here?"

Robinov was proudly showing off to the two with the attitude of a protagonist.

The wrinkles on his face were smoothed away by a smile.

This made the president of Ford and the president of Paramount very displeased with Robinov.

"We are here to discuss cooperation with Kevin. For Kevin's next film, our two companies are planning to jointly take 50.00% of the share."

The two said unceremoniously.

Seeing this, Robinov didn't feel unhappy that they came to snatch the business. He just smiled shyly and said:

"You two, how about letting Warner Bros. get involved?"

"Let's work together for a win-win situation."

President Ford immediately sneered:

"Why don't we get involved in the investment in hurricane relief?"

Seeing that it was useless to take advantage, Robinov pouted and said:

"I'm here to discuss something else with Kevin, and let's talk about the cooperation of the new movie by the way."

"What if Kevin's new movie is willing to let us invest?"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Paramount president asserted.

Kevin's character is somewhat understood in the circle now.

If they hadn't betrayed their allies decisively in the anti-Kevin alliance, they would never have such an opportunity to cooperate with Kevin.

Of course, this is the change in Kevin's heart that they don't know.

Kevin went from sharing profits at the beginning, to eating alone, and now sharing profits, accompanied by three stages of changes in Kevin's status.

From an ordinary director at the beginning, to a great director, and now a capitalist.

At each step, things need to be considered are different, but overall progress is actually made.

The choices you make are the best choices for your stage.

···

The door was pushed open, and Kevin walked in with the data.

Seeing that the three presidents of Hollywood film giants seemed to be chatting about something, Kevin asked curiously;

"What are you talking about so happily?"

"Nothing, just chat."

The two laughed, looking at Kevin, who was in a suit and leather shoes, with a light beard around his face, couldn't help but a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

They are basically around 50 years old, and only then have they reached their current status.

And it's just the president.

Kevin is different.

Although compared with the capital behind them, Chenxi Film Company is not yet a real success.

However, compared with other film companies in the industry, it can be said that Chenxi Films is already a well-deserved super giant.

Vaguely, they already felt a film company far surpassing ordinary film companies...

No, the capital giant in the film industry was born in this way.

And Kevin like this is only in his early thirties and at the peak of his life, which is so enviable.

He has enough time to enjoy the beauty of the years, and they are probably not far from retirement.

After another three or four years, it is estimated that he will almost abdicate to make way for the newcomers.

Of course, to reach their level, they have already realized the freedom of wealth, and now they are pursuing their ideals in life.

That is to bring the company to a more successful position.

Reaching an in-depth cooperation with Chenxi Films is an important step on the way to their goal.

This is the reason why these presidents have been drilling towards Kevin.

It's true that the CEOs like them are so free every day.

That is, Chenxi Movie, which is now becoming more and more influential in the industry, and they can't suppress it when they see it.

This turned to seek cooperation.

In the industry, only the three giants are currently in cooperation with Chenxi Films, and the others are tacitly excluded.

Chapter 369 Brand New Cooperation Project

Having said that, Kevin certainly knows why they are here.

But before that, he had to arrange the remaining matters with Robinov first.

Kevin raised his head, looked at Robinov and said:

"President Robinov, the movie Taken has achieved a good result of 500 million US dollars today, and the word of mouth is also quite good. Next, we need Time Warner's resources to carry out the next publicity."

Hearing what Kevin said, Robinov responded directly.

"Don't worry, we will never lose the chain in the next announcement."

"Well, the box office on the first day, if the follow-up announcement and distribution can keep up, it will not be a problem for the global box office to break [-] million."

After all, Taken is not that kind of masterpiece, and it doesn't have the huge influence of IP, and Kevin didn't say that it must be worth a billion dollars.

That is impossible.

Movies that have grossed more than one billion dollars at the box office, even after 20 years, are still one of the few movies.

It is an existence that can be counted in less than two hands in the history of film.

A movie of this level really needs the right time, place and people to be born.

Among them, harmony is to have a sufficient mass base.

From a certain conceptual point of view, in fact, most of this kind of movies can only be born by adapting classic IPs.

Robinov nodded, agreeing with Kevin's words.

After decades of summarization, there is probably a certain concept about the relationship between word-of-mouth and the box office on the first day, as well as the subsequent box office.

Can roughly guess a number.

Generally speaking, it is relatively accurate.

So Kevin said there was about [-] million or so, and Robinov agreed.

After nodding, Robinov spoke again:

"If it is released overseas, part of it will be handed over to Warner. We can release the film overseas faster and get better schedules and conditions."

"Row."

It's all discussed here, and the subsequent contract is signed word by word, and it is finally confirmed that it is correct.

In terms of time, ten days and a half months are normal.

After the matter with Warner was settled for the time being, Kevin turned his head and looked at the two presidents who were casually looking out the window.

As the top floor of this [-]-story high-rise building, the large flat glass makes the view extraordinarily open.

People without acrophobia can even feel a kind of aura of dominion when looking around from the room.

Of course, patients with fear of heights may have a heart attack here.

But Kevin naturally doesn't have a fear of heights.

This design is also his special emphasis.

He has the entire top floor to himself, including the lounge, entertainment room, and office.

The shape of the office is fan-shaped, with a circle of floor-to-ceiling windows at the end of the fan.

Two bookshelves, a filing cabinet, a desk and a computer, plus a sofa and tea set are all that this office has.

The conversation just now was all standing up. Seeing that the two of them seemed to have been standing for a while, Kevin said:

"Everyone, sit down."

Waving his arms and saying hello, Kevin sat down on the single sofa.

Robinov sat down on the sofa alone, while the other two presidents sat together.

Robinov was the first to get the cooperation with Chenxi Films, and the two of them, who were lagging behind, naturally got closer.

"Are you here to discuss the future cooperation?"

The two nodded.

"Yes, any next film directed by Kevin will be invested by us."

"Together we get a 50.00% investment share."

Kevin rubbed his head, lost in thought.

He has no idea about his next movie yet.

It's the company's sequel movie, which is a bit too much.

The company's own director is definitely not available at present, so it is best to outsource the project.

Kevin's current thinking is to hand over the sequel movies directly to a company for each series.

For example, in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the subsequent sequels are directly handed over to Paramount or Fox to operate. As long as there are no major losses, the follow-up follow-up can be handed over to them to operate.

As a price for this condition, Kevin is willing to increase their share by a bit.
