MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 190
But sharing the profits with Steve Kevin, again, is something he doesn't want.
After thinking about it clearly, Allen came up with his own idea.
"The movie rights can be sold to you cheaply, but Hasbro will enjoy a share of the profits."
Kevin frowned and confirmed:
"How do you enjoy profit sharing?"
Emma said:
"Hasbro doesn't make any investment. The film rights are sold to you for $5 million for 20 years. After the first film is released, Hasbro enjoys 30% of the film's pure profit."
Greed flashed in Emma's eyes.
Steve Kevin is well aware of how profitable his films are.
As a practitioner in the film-related industry, he has heard some of the details.
Because of this, he decided that Steve Kevin attached great importance to Transformers, and he opened his mouth wide. Of course, he only dared to take the first bite.
Hear what Emma said.
A look of displeasure flashed across Kevin's face.
Five million dollars, this copyright price is undoubtedly sky-high, let's not mention it for the time being.
It's expensive, but it's not really that much.
It is too greedy for the 30% pure profit share of the Transformers and the special forces behind.
Does this make him a Kaizi?
Kevin's heart suddenly had a calculation.
If they are willing to do business well, then Kevin will certainly not treat Hasbro badly.
But since he came up and took him as a scapegoat, don't blame Kevin for using Hollywood's rules to disgust Hasbro.
How much pure profit, this can be operated.
Hollywood film companies, using this method, do not know how many overseas investors have been tricked.
Kevin still remembers, in later generations, which step Warner Bros. operated on Harry Potter sequels lost money.
However, even at a loss, Warners still had a lot of fun making the sequel.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Warner Bros. is hoarding investors' money. Obviously, they made money, and Warner said they lost money.
This not only pits investors, but also reduces taxes.
Of course, this kind of thing is also detrimental to the company's reputation. Generally speaking, Hollywood film companies will not do too much.
A profit of $100 million turns into $50 million, which is normal.
But never turn a profit into a loss.
Therefore, this kind of thing has always been the unspoken rule of the people inside the circle. Outside the circle there is only speculation, but no one has ever been able to hammer it.
Kevin has always followed the attitude of cooperation and win-win before, and basically will not play tricks on it.
However, Emma's words made him think and prepare to kill Hasbro.
If you are greedy, then I will naturally not let you go.
However, with such harsh conditions, Kevin couldn't agree directly, which would be equivalent to telling Allen that he was going to cheat.
I saw Kevin's face as usual, and said lightly:
"President Allen, don't you think you're too greedy?"
"It doesn't matter if the copyright is expensive, 30% of the pure profit is too much."
Kevin's reply made Alan overjoyed.
As the saying goes, it is the buyer who bargains.
Under such harsh conditions, Steve Kevin did not turn his head and left, which means that he took a fancy to Transformers and special forces.
The thought of 30 percent pure profit made him excited.
I was overjoyed in my heart, but Alan's face didn't change much.
It's too much to kill Steve Kevin and laugh out loud in front of him.
Allen said:
"Director Kevin, I don't think it's too much. Transformers and special forces are big IPs that we have cultivated with all our hearts at Hasbro for so many years."
"It's a childhood memory of generations in the United States, and it's a movie adaptation that's sure to sell well."
Allen's face clearly showed that he did not relax the condition of being bitten to death.
Kevin still had the same expression, but nodded, as if he was persuaded by Allen's words, and continued:
"There is also a certain reason. I can accept this condition, but for the film rights purchased by the five million dollars, I will have forty years."
Allen pretended to hesitate, and after more than ten seconds, he said:
"Then let's make a deal."
"it is good!"
After a brief chat, Kevin left Hasbro.
Standing at the door of Hasbro, Kevin sneered, and then went elsewhere.
The specific business negotiation will be discussed by the team later. He is only doing a preliminary consultation now.
But he is ready to make Transformers 0 profit.
If he loses, it will easily affect his reputation, but if there is no profit, it is easier for people to know that he is deliberately cheating Hasbro.
Afterwards, he took out the contract between the two parties, proving that Hasbro was too dark in exchange for public understanding.
So as to save some of the loss of reputation.
Go to the company and explain these negotiations to Dawson.
Kevin went to the WWE arena again, looking for a future big star.
・・・
An everyday match in WWE.
Locke, that is, the future Dwayne Johnson, is fighting very anxiously with the wrestler on the opposite side.
After several struggles, Johnson punched the enemy in the head, and the enemy fell to the ground on the spot.
Johnson turned around in the ring, made a concave muscle movement, and shouted angrily:
"I am the invincible Locke!"
There were countless screams at the scene, fascinated by Johnson's charm.
After a series of exit performances, Johnson left the field.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, Johnson was about to leave here for a big meal when the manager came over and stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
The agent's face was very excited, which made Johnson a little confused.
"Here's your chance. Steve Kevin is off the field right now. He just watched your game and wants to invite you to a movie."
"Who invited me?"
Johnson was stunned.
Steve Kevin, this is a famous director in Hollywood, he is looking for himself.
Suffering from the short career life of a wrestler, Johnson, who has been looking for opportunities for transformation, suddenly became excited as if he had encountered God.
"Take me there!"

Johnson couldn't wait.
The agent nodded and hurriedly led the way.
・・・
Dinner has always been the highlight of a Western meal of the day.
In order to express the importance of Johnson, Kevin specially chose a high-end western restaurant.
Of course, they were all men and didn't talk about the atmosphere. Kevin directly arranged two large Tomahawk steaks, and then silently waited for Johnson to come over.
In the future, Johnson has become the number one paid person in Hollywood, and I have to say that he has infinite potential.
Who can imagine that such a muscular tough guy can act as a tough guy and be funny, and at the same time, the warm drama is quite good.
This kind of person, the audience relationship is not bad.
The play is also very good.
There's almost nothing he can't play.
Under the leadership of his agent, Johnson soon came to the table where Steve Kevin was.
Looking at Steve Kevin, who was sitting at the dining table, with a strong aura and a lot of pressure, Johnson cautiously walked over to him and said hello:
"Director Kevin, hello, I'm Johnson."
"sit."
Kevin waved his hand and motioned for Johnson to sit down.
Johnson sat obediently opposite Kevin, looking very reserved.
In terms of quickness and muscle, Johnson can beat Kevin twenty, but in the United States, fists never mean anything.
Money is everything.
As one of the biggest names in Hollywood, Steve Kevin just appeared in front of Johnson, making him feel full of pressure.
This is because he knows that Steve Kevin can completely change his destiny just by making a move.
And he desperately needed this opportunity.
The agent left silently.
This kind of thing, the specific thing, is left to them to discuss. He, Johnson's relative, should not be involved in it.
When the agent left, Kevin laughed:
"Come on, Johnson, eat and see. This is a $10,000 Super Tomahawk Steak. I heard it's pretty good. I've never eaten it before. You can try it."
Although he is a well-known wrestler in WWE, his income is not very high, about two hundred thousand dollars a year, which is not bad.
But compared with Hollywood, there is no doubt that the world is different.
He definitely couldn't afford a steak of $10,000. No normal person would take his monthly salary to eat a big meal.
When Steve Kevin came up and invited him to eat steak of this level, he was a little panicked.
"thanks!"
Johnson, who couldn't figure out Kevin's specific thoughts, said thank you and started to eat steak.
Kevin also cut a small piece, ate a little bit, and left the rest to the two bodyguards to solve.
This is also the benefit of being his bodyguard.
During the meal, he was very silent, and Johnson didn't dare to speak rashly. He just kept eating, until he had finished off a whole quick Tomahawk steak, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until this time that Kevin spoke up.
"Johnson, do you want to be an actor?"
"think!"
Johnson couldn't wait.
