After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood - Chapter 247
You must know that ordinary movies, such as these famous talk shows, all have to pay.
After all, publicity is not free.
Of course, this situation was turned around on Steve Kevin.
As Steve Kevin, the king of the Hollywood box office, the top director, billionaire, the owner of Dawn Movies Marvel Entertainment, MGM and Dawn Entertainment.
It is no exaggeration to say that his time is money.
A famous investor sold a lot of the qualifications to dine with him.
Although Kevin is not doing business to help others make money, it will not reach this point.
But, get on these shows.
Giving money is definitely impossible.
Being able to be on their shows for free is already a blessing to them.
This is not Kevin boasting.
but facts.
As soon as the news that Kevin was going to promote the movie came out, all major programs came to invite him. With Kevin’s popularity and popularity, he could easily make this issue’s ratings burst.
Compared with the ratings, that little money is nothing.
Both are mutually beneficial.
With this wave of popularity, the movie has not yet been released.
But it is already hot in the market.
Anne Hathaway’s princess character design, through these programs, is also imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
To say that among the four, Nicole Kidman is the most famous in terms of fame.
But the real salary is Johnson’s highest.
Through Speed and Passion, Johnson instantly became famous and became a first-line actor in Hollywood, with a salary of tens of millions.
Including Nicole Kidman and Jet Li, the three people’s remuneration almost used more than 130 million US dollars.
And these remunerations, Kevin felt value for money.
Johnson is still the same Johnson.
With the character created by Kevin for him, and the natural good audience, his first-line star status is as stable as Mount Tai.
This is the envy of ordinary stars.
The audience is so amazing.
Not to mention the future of Anne Hathaway, who is said to have topped the list of least popular female stars.
Tom Cruise, the popularity of passers-by, is actually average.
In Kevin’s words, it is the level of a shinai killer.
It is very attractive to a certain type of female audience.
Others are good or bad to his senses.
And Johnson is born with a lot of popularity.
Whether it is caused by his role, or his personal image and actions, the feeling conveyed to people is quite good.
As for Jet Li, he is currently unknown in Hollywood.
Therefore, his salary is only one-third of Nicole Kidman and twice that of Anne Hathaway.
Jet Li was not dissatisfied with this.
He is well aware of his current status in Hollywood.
This remuneration is actually not low. With Kevin’s reputation for being not generous, this remuneration already shows that Steve Kevin is more interested in him.
Compared with the salary, Jet Li is more looking forward to how much his worth can rise after the movie is released.
That was what he was most looking forward to.
Steve Kevin’s overwhelming publicity made the film’s fame of hurricane rescue spread all over North America, and it also fell to the ears of countless studios.
Warner Bros., which is also one of the investors, is even more happy.
They have held an internal preview, and everyone agrees that this is a top commercial blockbuster.
Exciting action duels and a strong sense of rhythm make this movie particularly cool.
Connotation? No!
Allusions and metaphors?
No!
Some are just an old father’s love for his daughter.
Her daughter was kidnapped by human traffickers and sold to a brothel in just four days.
In order to save his daughter, the protagonist kills all the way, never showing mercy.
The means are harsh.
But no one thought his behavior was excessive.
Imagine that your daughter is in this situation, an old father, facing countless difficulties, in order to save his daughter.
No matter how heavy the hand is, it is understandable.
Compared with The Matrix and Batman Dark Knight, it is undoubtedly incomparable.
But again, the quality of a movie is not absolutely linked to the box office.
Kevin feels that the box office of hurricane rescue will definitely not be low.
After all, under the original condition, there were more than 100 million US dollars at the box office. Now, the improved and enhanced version of Kevin has no North American box office of 300 million.
Chapter 362 Christopher Nolan
In addition to the overseas market, the global $500 million is really not a big problem.
Just like Xiaobaiwen in the online literature market, readers like to read it.
By analogy, it is this kind of cool-text movie that has the largest audience.
Life is hard enough, and whoever wants to watch a movie needs to be educated.
In the movie, taking the lead role, killing all the way, breaking through many difficulties, it seems that all the unhappiness in reality has been radiated.
That’s the nature of movies.
And this box office is what Kevin has high hopes for hurricane rescue.
The publicity of the hurricane rescue has made other film companies choose to adjust their schedules.
Of course, with this capital, only a few giants in Hollywood.
It is very difficult for a film produced by an ordinary small film company to win a small part of the film in the summer.
Not to mention adjusting the schedule.
In this way, the time came to June 5th.
A guest came to Chenxi Film Company with his resume.
・・・
Dawson looked at the film project plan brought by the director in front of him and asked:
“Christopher Nolan, why do you think, Director Kevin, would choose to invest in your film.”
The movie he has on hand is called Memento.
With Dawson’s level of appreciation, he can’t quite understand the subtleties of the script, and only feels a little brain-burning.
But he could see that it seemed like a good story.
The project book seems to be quite reliable.
In his heart, he was ready to hand over this plan to Kevin for review later.
Before this year, Chenxi Films had not actually invested in foreign films, and had only done their own projects.
This year, though, Dawn Films is poised to go further.
One of the biggest changes is that it is ready to start foreign investment.
However, three or four months have passed, and there is still no project that can pass the project review.
Most of the novice directors, who have never made a movie before, come up with a script that they feel is incomparably genius, and they want to invest in Chenxi Films.
The audit department is all veterans of major companies recruited by Chenxi Films, although they can’t make movies.
But from the script and plan, they can probably know whether the director has the ability to complete a movie.
It was determined that the director has this ability, and then interviewed by Dawson.
Then, the selected director will have an appointment with Kevin.
This is how you can invest in a movie.
This is the current foreign investment process of Chenxi Films, which is actually quite troublesome.
But the workload is not really big.
Ninety-nine percent of the so-called directors were killed by the audit department, and Dawson was never seen.
For the few scattered people who passed the audit department, facing Dawson, there is still a nearly 50% elimination rate.
So Kevin didn’t see a few directors for a month.
And some of the previous film projects were basically shot by Kevin.
Kevin is very clear that the biggest weakness of Chenxi Film Company at present is its influence on the Oscars.
Therefore, from the beginning, what he intends to invest abroad must be commercial films.
That kind of so-called art film, he didn’t think about it at all.
And most of these are so-called art film directors, and after the conversation, Kevin generally dismisses them. ,
The few who made commercial films also lacked a sense of the audience’s needs, and were persuaded to quit by Kevin.
Therefore, until June, none of the projects were invested by Chenxi Films.
In this regard, the number of people who come to Chenxi Films to look for projects has become less and less.
And in the outside world there is also a reputation for being critical of the morning movie.
Christopher Nolan, with fragments of his own movie script, has already found a lot of investors.
But it has repeatedly hit a wall in Hollywood.
He has already made up his mind, if even Chenxi Films is unwilling to invest in his films, then he will go back to the UK to find investors.
In the British film industry, he is still well-connected, and it is not difficult to seek investment.
It’s just that if it wasn’t for the investment of Hollywood film companies, the movie could not be released in Hollywood, which is somewhat unwilling for a director.
The current Hollywood film market can be said to be the only one in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that every director’s dream is to be a director in Hollywood.
Imagine that in the domestic film industry, it is very difficult to make a movie with millions of investment.
But as soon as you come to Hollywood, it starts with a few million dollars.
The two are not the same level.
This means that directors have more money and can make better films.
Who doesn’t want to spend more money to make better movies.
