MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 253

Thirty-five percent, for example, is a good percentage.

This ratio ensures that everyone has money to make, so that they will pay attention. Of course, under this ratio, all copyright benefits belong to Kevin.

They can only get a certain amount of income from the surrounding area within half a year after the movie is released, and after half a year, it will all belong to Chenxi Movie.

It has to be said that this condition is very harsh.

However, if it is a project that lays golden eggs like Pirates of the Caribbean, even if it is harsh, it is difficult not to accept it. ,

How can you not accept the business that makes money is made clear.

After thinking about it clearly in his heart, Kevin raised his head and said indifferently;

"I have a new idea, what do you guys think?"

"Director Kevin, please speak up, let's hear it?"

The president of Fox asked politely.

However, Kevin's sudden change of mind made them have some ideas in their hearts.

There was no expression on his face.

Robinov on the side also pricked up his ears and listened.

"That's it, I'm going to arrange a sequel project for your family's classic movies in the hands of Dawn Movies."

"The original twenty-five shares, without later gains, are now thirty-five."

"I will give you a ten percent increase, and the project will be handed over to you. If the box office is successful, you will automatically get the right to invest in the next sequel."

"How do you feel?"

This sudden proposal made the two presidents fall into contemplation in an instant, and they began to think about the good and bad of this matter from both the pros and cons.

The advantage is obvious, that is, the income has increased.

Twenty-five percent to thirty-five percent, a full ten percent increase, which represents a gain of tens of millions of dollars.

Even for movie giants, it's not a small number.

As for the deep meaning of Kevin's idea, everyone knows in his heart that he is also an executive of the film company.

Kevin has too many IPs in his hands, and he can't shoot too much.

This has to be said, is a kind of happy trouble.

At least Fox and Paramount don't have as many classic IPs as Kevin.

Kevin wanted to use their resources to find a suitable director to carry out the project. After all, the rise of Chenxi Films is too fast, and the current network is not wide enough.

In terms of director resources, it is quite scarce.

They are still very clear about this.

The advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also obvious.

That is, the project is handled by them. Although it is a classic IP, as long as it is not too bad, it can make money.

But in the end, it's not as secure as Steve Kevin's filmmaking.

Chapter 370 The New Way

Aside from Steve Kevin, even Hollywood's most legendary gold-medal producer has had his time at the box office.

This also means that they may lose money.

Unfortunately, when Kevin made this proposal, they knew that Kevin's opinion was difficult to refuse.

"I agree with Director Kevin's idea."

If you can't resist, you can only accept it.

The president of Fox was the first to speak.

"I don't know if Director Kevin will be able to hand over the Pirates of the Caribbean series to Fox."

The president of Fox, a fifty-year-old president with gray hair and a shrewd face, after agreeing with Kevin's idea, he put forward his own idea.

He wants the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Looking at the many IPs of Chenxi Movies, the number one is naturally worthy of Marvel.

Second, there is Harry Potter.

Next up is the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

In my heart, I guessed that Marvel and Harry Potter were not easy to start, and the president of Fox directly showed his appetite.

Coming up is about to eat the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Three Pirates of the Caribbean films have been released so far, and it has become a big IP with global popularity.

Its protagonist, Johnny Depp, has become a well-deserved superstar in Hollywood, but in Kevin's view, this person is a bit inflated.

Of course, swelling is also normal.

The profession of star enjoys the pursuit of hundreds of millions of fans, just like the Buddha in that temple.

In this case, there are really not many who can stick to their hearts.

Hollywood stars, future scandals, simply don't have too many.

Of course, the mainland entertainment industry is not much better.

This is also the same as Kai Wenming, who has the capital to be a star, but chooses the position of director.

Director, more or less is the object of others who belong to the unspoken rules.

And stars are just the objects of unspoken rules.

One active and one passive, the status gap between them is too big.

Kevin didn't want to be someone else's plaything.

In Kevin's view, the status of Hollywood superstars may not be much different from those of South Korean stars.

As for Korean female stars, they can only understand what they understand.

Born in Japan and South Korea, if it is not part of the chaebol, it is really a tragedy.

The circle that should not be entered is the entertainment circle.

If the entertainment industry in the mainland is a game of the powerful, then Japan and South Korea are the back gardens of the chaebols, and they are free to ask for them.

The US is slightly better, but also limited.

All in all, each has its own mess.

But anyway, all he wants is Johnny Depp's acting skills. If he has a thunderstorm one day, it is not impossible for Kevin to change the protagonist.

Of course, after playing in three films, Pirates of the Caribbean is now basically inseparable from him.

At least Chenxi Film Company will not take the initiative to change roles.

Otherwise, the power of fans is still terrifying.

There is only one case in which it is possible to change roles, and that is to offend the fan base.

Johnny Depp has a bad reputation.

As for this, it's up to Johnny Depp to know what to do.

His handle, Chen Xi Movie has collected a lot.

In the entertainment industry, Kevin still knows a lot about how some previous life capital dealt with celebrities.

For example, the simplest way is to let you use your ID card information to express some inappropriate remarks on some social media when you are an amateur.

Mine ahead of time.

After you become popular, if you want to get out of control, you will be embarrassed. If you can make you, it will naturally destroy you.

Put the star's remarks on the Internet and buy a hot search.

The star is directly cool.

Such situations, not to mention some stars who have black material themselves.

In short, it is too simple for capital to deal with stars.

If Johnny Depp honestly fulfills his promises according to the contract and does not play tricks, Kevin is willing to give him a superstar salary.

On the contrary, if Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean can't do without him and wants to be a demon, Kevin doesn't recommend destroying him and finding someone else to play the role again.

After all, although Kevin is very optimistic about Johnny Depp, it does not mean that he is irreplaceable in Pirates of the Caribbean.

On this planet, no one is inseparable from another.

Just like at the beginning, everyone said Heath Ledger's clown, no one can compare.

As a result, after the other clowns were released later, didn't the audience applaud the same.

I don't know how much effort the capital has made for the deified Heath Ledger.

Of course, his performance is the foundation.

If the performance is not good, it is not worth the capital to pay a large amount of publicity expenses for this.

"Kevin, Pirates of the Caribbean, leave it to us Paramount. In terms of movie operations, Fox can't compare to our Paramount."

At this time, the friendship between the two obviously has moisture.

Everyone fights for the benefit of their own company.

Everyone knows that the Pirates of the Caribbean series is the guarantee of movie box office.

Pirates of the Caribbean is the best IP they can get when Marvel and the Harry Potter series struggle to get them.

Robinov on the side couldn't sit still. The smile on his face, which was originally due to the big sale of the hurricane rescue, has also become a look of penny-pinching.

Obviously, although Warner Bros. from the hurricane rescue, at least to get more than 50 million US dollars in profits.

But they are not satisfied, they want more profit.

As soon as Robinoff said these words, Paramount and Fox immediately became anxious.

"This has nothing to do with Warner Bros. Warner Bros. has just made a huge profit from the hurricane rescue. Next, we will discuss Paramount and Fox."

"That's not what he said. Kevin is another way of cooperation. How can Warner Bros. not be involved."

Obviously he was messing around, but Robinov's face had an expression that was the truth.

It seems that the president of Fox and Paramount are shameless, not the president of Warner Bros.

As soon as these words came out, the three of them instantly quarreled over the matter.

Looking at this scene, Kevin waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

Having made such a decision, Kevin still has nothing to think about.

Marvel and Harry Potter's movie profits can be shared completely, and Kevin doesn't feel bad at all.

The reason is also very simple.

Compared with the profits of movies, their peripherals and copyrights are the most powerful existences.

In the original history, the seven Harry Potter movies only created billions of dollars.

The surrounding market is ten times that of its movie box office.

It's a multi-billion dollar market.

When Kevin looked beyond Hollywood, he realized that the box office of a movie was really nothing.

Chapter 371 Develop the Marvel Universe?

A Harry Potter is a multi-billion dollar peripheral market.

Not to mention Marvel and the like.

Instead of developing slowly, it is better to hand over a portion of the profits and use the channels of these film companies to help develop and expand the periphery of the film.

Only paying a small part of the box office profits can open up the market faster.
