After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

After leaving the cinema, Kevin went straight to the company.

·····

The conference room of Dawn Film Company.

Kevin, Dawson, and several key figures in the company are all contracted directors of Chenxi Film Company.

As for other company executives, Kevin is usually not in charge of management.

Dawson communicates with everything, and Kevin just releases the task.

After everyone was seated, Kevin looked at Dawson and said:

"Tell me about the current situation of Ghost Rider and Iron Man."

This was Kevin's first meeting after returning from Japan.

Dawson quickly answered:

"Ghost Rider is currently still in theaters around the world. At present, the overseas market has achieved [-] million US dollars. According to the trend, it is expected to achieve more than [-] million US dollars at the box office."

Kevin nodded, still very satisfied with this result.

In this way, the global box office can reach more than 5 million U.S. dollars, the profit can also be more than [-] million U.S. dollars, and the follow-up copyright can make a lot of money.

The most important thing is that the linkage with Spider-Man has increased the popularity of each other and expanded the influence of the Marvel brand again.

Dawson flipped through the information and continued to introduce:

"Iron Man has achieved a North American box office of 5000 million U.S. dollars. It is still discussing with other countries around the world about the release. If it is not expected, it will be released globally."

"By the way, according to your arrangement, Iron Man, we have entered the mainland market through normal channels."

"Well, you did a good job, Dawson. The next copyright matters are entrusted to you. You can go to work first. I will communicate with them about the next tasks."

Dawson nodded, got up and left.

Kevin began to roll the rolls one by one.

"Zach Snyder, how are the 300 warriors doing?"

"The script has been completed, can you take a look?"

While speaking, Schneider took out a plan.

Kevin took the plan, flipped through it briefly, and nodded directly after confirming that it was not much different from the one in memory.

"Okay, just follow this project book, Schneider, how about you being the producer yourself?"

As Kevin's key training object, Kevin feels that the current Zack Schneider already has this ability. In fact, the greatest use of a producer, in Kevin's view, is to control the director from spending money indiscriminately.

Zach Schneider has this self-control, and other things, Dawn Films can help him handle it. Adding a producer is undoubtedly just to let Schneider get an extra amount of money.

They are all friends, and it is impossible for Kevin to use money to break their hearts.

If you make money yourself, you will naturally make your friends rich.

"it is good!"

Zach Schneider just froze for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Everyone has a desire to improve.

Becoming a producer is undoubtedly a stage in his career growth that he feels.

The two Russell brothers on the side remained silent, envious in their hearts.

They are in Chenxi Film Company and have filmed three consecutive TV series.

I also served as the assistant director of Mitt and Schneider, and I have gained a lot of experience. They want to make a movie.

The status of TV drama directors and movie directors in the United States can be said to be different.

Hollywood is a global industry with astonishing influence.

The TV drama market is only limited to the United States, and the gap is too big.

The ultimate goal of every director is to make movies so that their movies can be seen by people all over the world.

And if you can be both a director and a producer, your rights in the crew will undoubtedly be higher.

This is an unimaginable treatment for them now.

But being able to be called into this office by Steve Kevin, they also realized that Kevin valued them.

Mitt next to him was envious immediately.

Hastily asked:

"Kevin, is there a new project that is more suitable for me?"

"Have."

"But you have to wait for a few days, and I will deal with your affairs tomorrow."

Chapter 275 Green Lantern's Bad Word of Mouth

Mit stepped aside.

Kevin looked at Tsui Hark again.

"Director Tsui Hark, how are you doing with the script adapted from the comic Shushan World?"

"It's already done, and it will be ready to start shooting in the second half of the year."

Tsui Hark also took out the project book he made according to Hollywood's standard process and handed it to Kevin.

After looking through it briefly, and after confirming that there was no problem with the plan, Kevin nodded and said:

"Okay, you can start planning the crew in the second half of this year. I hope the movie will be released during the Christmas period next year."

"Yes!"

Tsui Hark agreed, and this time Kevin reserved ample time for him.

It takes about one and a half years to shoot a movie, which is more than enough time. Tsui Hark is ready to polish this movie well, so that he can become famous in one fell swoop and gain a foothold in Hollywood.

After arranging Zach Schneider's work and Tsui Hark's work.

Kevin looked at Brother Russell again and began to think.

The tempering of the TV series and the experience of the assistant director made Kevin feel that their abilities should be enough to shoot movies.

But what kind of movie to shoot for them, Kevin is really not easy to arrange.

Going straight to the sequel of Spider-Man, one is that he has not fully digested the gains brought by this wave of superheroes, and the other is that Kevin is also afraid that they will screw up the IP of Spider-Man.

It's better to find a movie for them to practice their hands.

But what movie to prepare, Kevin didn't have any ideas for a while, after thinking about it, Kevin decided to ask them directly what they thought.

"I'm going to let you make a sequel to Spider-Man, but even if Spider-Man is released, it will take a year or two. Do you want to make a small-budget movie first to practice your skills?"

Having said that, they all understood what Kevin meant.

This is to give them practice before taking on the sequel to Spider-Man.

Even so, this also plunged the two into ecstasy.

Although he needs to prove himself through a small-scale movie first, he will be able to take over the sequel movie directed by Steve Kevin immediately.

Basically, they are already on the road to success.

"it is good!"

The two brothers said in unison.

Kevin nodded too.

"Give me a plan, with an investment of less than 1000 million U.S. dollars."

"As long as the plan is feasible, Chenxi Films will directly invest in full."

The two brothers were even happier.

Although it is said to be a small production, 1000 million US dollars is actually not that small. If you don't hire big-name actors and don't do too many special effects, it is actually more than enough.

But the two of them, the brothers, really have no idea now.

"Go and search in the company's script library to see if there is a suitable script for your shooting."

In Hollywood, big companies actually have the least shortage of scripts.

Countless screenwriters will continuously submit their scripts to major film companies, and the quality and quantity of these scripts are determined according to the size of the film company.

However, with the scale of Chenxi Film Company, there should not be too many scripts.

These scripts range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars.

Millions of dollars, full of an entire library of scripts, this is the background of the film company.

Even Kevin didn't know how many scripts he had received, and whether there were any gold mines waiting to be discovered by others, so he could only rely on a few directors of his company to find them by himself.

These are also the background of Chenxi Film Company. With the development of time, at some point, a good script will suddenly pop up in it.

This is something no one can tell.

"Okay, then we'll go later."

The younger brother among the Russell brothers took the initiative.

Kevin nodded.

So far, except for Mitt, the directors of Chenxi Movie have been arranged by Kevin to do things.

Arrange work.

Kevin went straight home to rest.

Tomorrow, he plans to go to Hasbro Toys and discuss with them the sale of Transformers and Special Forces film copyrights.

Although this process may have certain difficulties.

But Kevin really doesn't want to see these two big IPs being missed like this.

He knows what kind of miracles the Transformers and Special Forces series can create in the future.

·······

Time flickered to noon the next day.

Inside Warner Bros.

A group of executives and Robinov waited in the conference room for the box office and other data on the first day.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very tense.

The response from the audience yesterday clouded their otherwise cheerful mood.

In internal evaluations, this is a standard commercial blockbuster, and it seems to be no different from Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Iron Man.

So at the beginning, they were very optimistic about Green Lantern's performance.

They don't even need to make money, as long as Green Lantern can recover the cost and make a good start for the DC universe, that's enough.

With the size of Warner Bros., as long as the box office has a box office of [-] million US dollars, it can almost pay back.

Of course, don't count on peripheral income.

Peripheral income is often directly proportional to the profitability of the movie.

For a movie that is losing money as a whole, the sales of its peripherals will not be very satisfactory.

There was a knock on the door.

A blond beauty delivered Green Lantern's first-day box office figures to Robinoff.

Some executives immediately couldn't wait to say:

"President, how was the box office on the first day?"

Robinov's originally solemn face also showed a slight smile, and read directly:

"Green Lantern's box office on the first day is 4000, 68 million US dollars!"

As soon as the data came out, all the executives present immediately became excited.
