MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 202

Anne Hathaway immediately released all her enthusiasm in front of him, and Kevin responded enthusiastically.

Another day has passed.

The next day, Kevin came to Chenxi Film Company.

Dawson, who saw Kevin at a glance, quickly came over:

"Kevin, Zhang Yimou, the director of the mainland, has heard from our branch in Beijing that he wants to come to the United States to make a movie, we..."

"Let him do it."

A smile appeared on Kevin's face.

Zhang Yimou is also a director he admires very much.

Although he has also made bad movies, he also has many good movies in his hands. As a director, Kevin can see that he is always pursuing progress.

Completely different from some directors who eat their own way, this kind of director is the symbol of a good director in Kevin's heart.

Dawson nodded and turned to leave.

Kevin walked through the company for a while, and then got up and went to Marvel Entertainment, which he hadn't been to for a while, to inspect his work.

Of course, I'm also looking at how the Marvel Universe is doing now.

At present, Marvel has released three movies: Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and Iron Man. Among them, the beginning of the timeline is actually the movie Iron Man.

But the movie version is released, it is Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Iron Man.

Under such a timeline, Iron Man succeeded beyond Kevin's expectations.

At the same time, comics and TV series have not fallen.

After the movie was released, in the vacancy of almost a year and a half now, Marvel is relying on the remaining popularity of the movie and various comics and TV series to continue the popularity.

Counting the time, Kevin also felt that it was time to start the second step of Marvel.

The first is the sequel to Spider-Man, this sequel movie, Kevin is going to hand over to the Russo brothers to shoot.

After being honed by that low-budget movie, Kevin feels that as long as they don't do some messy art, they actually shoot the movie strictly according to his intentions, which is enough to shoot this kind of commercial blockbuster.

To put it bluntly, this kind of commercial blockbuster actually has rules and is feasible.

Intense action scenes, full of rhythm, forcing the audience to give up thinking, follow the film, the director does not make small moves, this is a qualified commercial director.

Of course, all of this is under the premise that the basic skills are qualified.

It's not that just any cat or dog will do.

Of course, the qualification of a movie has another relationship with the box office operation. There is no absolute relationship between the box office and the quality of the movie.

The reason why Kevin's films can achieve this kind of success is because he has previous life experience and an advanced understanding of marketing.

The first all-round publicity, the first to shoot a promotional film...

All this marketing, and for his own name, Steve Kevin, is one of the reasons why Kevin's movies are a bit above-quality at the box office.

Up to now, in fact, these tricks have been learned by other film companies. They are worse than Kevin, who can always maintain the golden brand of commercial film directors above the standard.

Kevin's films are always the most popular.

You can dislike it, but you can't stop the public from liking it.

A lot of people, now as long as they hear a Steve Kevin movie, they will choose to go to the cinema, because they know that Steve Kevin's movie will always be worth the price.

Of course Kevin knew how valuable his brand was now.

As a result, his films are now slower and slower.

In the beginning, there were two films a year, but now it has gradually become one film a year, in order not to overdraft the trust of the audience.

･･･

Outside the Marvel Entertainment building.

"Steve Kevin, everyone's shares must be returned. He tricked everyone into selling their shares. This is unfair. He is a complete asshole."

"Marvel! Listing!"

"Marvel! Listing!"

"RNM, withdraw the shares!"

"..."

Since the plans of the Marvel Universe were revealed, I don't know how many people who previously held Marvel shares were scolding the streets outside Marvel's building every day.

No way, I let go when Marvel was at its lowest point. It can be said that one by one of these stocks fell on Marvel.

If Marvel didn't get up, that's fine.

The problem is that Marvel's market is very optimistic now, and Marvel has already been delisted, otherwise the market value will expand by more than ten times.

Of course these shareholders are not reconciled.

Even if they are messing around, they hope that there is a slight possibility that they will be able to regain the shares of Marvel.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that now Marvel, as long as it goes public, its market value is less than billions of dollars.

Calculating Steve Kevin's net worth, several companies add up to a value of nearly tens of billions. Before the advent of the Internet age, money had not expanded exponentially.

Kevin's net worth, it is no exaggeration to say that ranking within 100 in the United States has no problem at all.

In the face of these chaotic demonstrators, Kevin ignored him, and under the protection of bodyguards, he entered Marvel through the side door in a low-key manner.

Then, through the special elevator, I came directly to Kevin Feige's office.

"Brother Kevin, you are here."

Kevin Feige smiled and stood up to greet him.

Over the past year, Kevin has come to Marvel only a handful of times. In this regard, Kevin Feige believes that it is Kevin's trust in him.

Usually it can be said that he is conscientious, for fear of failing Kevin's trust in him.

Of course, on the one hand, it is to live up to Kevin's trust.

Chapter 298 The first phase of the plan for the reunion

On the other hand, at his age, he can become the president of a big company like Marvel.

As soon as he graduated, he stepped into the peak of his life and entered the upper class.

For this status, he can't do it without being conscientious.

"Well, what is the market share of Marvel Comics now?"

Sitting on the sofa, Kevin asked casually.

Marvel has thrived this year, and Kevin Feige has done a pretty good job.

In this regard, Kevin also praised himself for recruiting this talent in advance.

Without them, Kevin himself would be really useless.

"Well, the current American comics market, the share of Marvel comics, has caught up with DC."

Kevin Feige said with a smug look on his face.

Before he took office, the market share of Marvel Comics had reached rock bottom. After he took office, he took various measures to catch up step by step, and finally caught up with the market share of DC Comics.

At present, in the comics market in the United States, Marvel and DC jointly divide 80% of the market, the other companies occupy 10% of a certain scale, and the remaining small shrimps have a total of 10%.

There is no denying the importance of Steve Kevin's Cinematic Universe project, but without him, this market share would not have been so easy either.

His next goal is to make Marvel overtake DC and become the largest comics company in the United States.

"Well done, Fitch."

Kevin praised, and then said:

"Feige, I'm here to arrange the next stage of work."

"The popularity of Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and Iron Man has almost been digested. The next Spider-Man sequel, Iron Man's sequel, and the three Hulk movies will start shooting soon."

"On your side, from the perspective of comics, you should start focusing on promoting these superheroes."

While taking notes on Kevin's orders, Feige responded:

"Okay, I will adjust the direction of the propaganda next."

Kevin nodded and continued to discuss the details with Feige on how Marvel should cooperate with the movie next.

In the previous life of Marvel, the first release was Iron Man, then the Incredible Hulk, followed by Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America and other movies.

This is barely enough for the content of Fulianyi.

Kevin's side is based on the three giants of Ghost Rider, Iron Man and Spider-Man.

It is equivalent to abandoning the two key characters in the original Avengers One, Thor and Hulk, and replacing them with Ghost Rider and Spider-Man.

Of course, this is only the first one.

The original Fulian, only four films were made, in Kevin's view, it was a huge waste.

In Kevin's mind, he plans to expand the Avengers into ten movies, and spend more than 20 years to cultivate Marvel's superheroes into childhood memories of children all over the world.

The first stage trilogy, the big villain, cannot be directly pulled into a cosmic level BOSS.

This is a huge waste of Marvel resources.

The first stage, the Marvel trilogy, faced the men of Thanos, the enemy of the universe.

The second stage, facing the forces of Thanos, the dark sect.

In the third stage, Thanos will appear again, which will be able to draw the full force of the villain BOSS.

Speaking of which, Kevin also remembered a classic theory about villain shaping.

That is to say, no whitewashing, no regrets, and firming up your beliefs from beginning to end, such a villain can show the charm of the villain.

The success of the tyrant is the same.

Of course, in Kevin's view, there are still big problems with his concept, which is a bit far-fetched.

However, there is still a long time before Thanos appears in the movie, so there is no need to worry.

He will continue to shape the villain of Thanos through TV series and movies.

This is crucial to the success of the film.

･･･

Time comes three days later.

The Fast and Furious crew is basically formed, and in a few days, Kevin will be able to start construction.

But before that, he has to arrange the work, and Zhang Yimou also has to arrange it.

To agree to Zhang Yimou's request, he also has his own abacus.

In addition to his admiration for Zhang Yimou, on the other hand, he had to deal with this national teacher in advance, so that the future mainland entertainment circle would gain enough contacts.

In order to let his films make a lot of money in the mainland film market.

Of course, this is actually a matter of mutual benefit, and Zhang Yimou is not a loss.

At least Kevin will teach him everything.

As for how much he can learn and what he can bring to the mainland film circle, it depends on his own ability.

Kevin also expects that he can cultivate a more robust mainland market in advance.

Instead of being manipulated by capital in later generations, the entertainment industry is directly rotten.

That kind of sloppy entertainment industry does not need to talk about strength, it depends on who has the strong capital behind it.

That's not good for Kevin.

When everything is sound, and relying on movies to speak, Kevin can rely on the quality of his movies to make good money in the mainland movie circle.

Putting it down will only drive the audience out of the cinema.

And in the back, the face of making money with capital becomes more and more ugly.

If nothing else, Kevin remembers that during the Chinese New Year in 2022, the price of an ordinary movie ticket actually came to 60 or 70 yuan, which was an outrageous price.
