MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 128

Harvey Weinstein smiled contemptuously as he watched Dawn's response to the movie.

I saw in the newspaper, Chen Xi Movie replied like this.

"The Matrix's plagiarism is pure slander. If there is a real hammer, you are welcome to sue."

In Harvey Weinstein's view, this standard official reply cannot completely whitewash Steve Kevin.

Even if only a small number of people believe it, it will greatly affect the box office of The Matrix.

Everything went as Harvey Weinstein expected.

The box office the next day was delivered to the top executives of major film companies at noon on the third day.

Harvey Weinstein laughed as he watched Day 2 box office.

Data shows that the Matrix, which earned $60 million at the box office on the first day, actually dropped by as much as 30% on the second day.

From $60 million to $42 million.

Although this box office is still a huge box office compared with other blockbusters, it still has a significant decline compared with the box office on the first day.

Under such a situation, Davis took the news and went to Dawn to find Kevin.

"Kevin, this is the evidence we have gathered at Fox, and it seems that Harvey Weinstein concocted this news."

Davis put the evidence to the front and said.

"But he is very careful. We also heard the news from a familiar newspaper boss, but there is no real evidence."

"The top priority is to find a way to deal with this matter, which has seriously affected the box office of The Matrix."

Although Davis' expression was calm, Kevin could still see his anger at this incident from his expression.

The impact of this wave of events has at least saved them tens of millions of dollars.

Anyone may have the intention to kill.

Kevin said calmly:

"The key person in this matter, the Wachowski brothers, have you been in touch?"

Davis was stunned for a moment. Those who were pushed to the bright side were often just puppets, so he didn't pay attention to it at first.

"I've already had people send them an invitation. If they want to come, they should be there in a while."

"I think they are very talented, and if I can, I'd like to invest in them to make movies."

Davis was suddenly confused.

Normally, shouldn't they be sued?

Kevin, which one is this playing...

"The Wachowskis are here. They have been arranged in the parlour."

The male secretary said hello and left.

"Let's go and see together?"

Kevin smiled and said calmly.

Davis nodded.

......

The reception room.

The Wachowskis looked at each other and made up their minds.

Originally, they were also fans of Steve Kevin, so as soon as The Matrix was released, they bought tickets and went to the cinema to watch the movie.

Unexpectedly, after watching a movie, they were shocked to discover that some concepts and some plots in the movie were somewhat similar to a script they had created before.

It's just that the script has never been perfect, and there are still many differences from the movie.

But there are still some similarities between the two.

With this suspicion in mind, the Wachowskis asked their friends at the studio.

Then, all of a sudden, the manuscripts they gave to friends and the negative news about The Matrix were all in the press.

Out of some jealousy, they did not take the initiative to overthrow this statement.

Instead, they enjoyed some fans who didn't know the truth for them, until Steve Kevin sent them an invitation.

This time, they couldn't sit still for a moment.

In this country, offending a true billionaire is even worse than offending the president.

With some apprehension, they finally chose to go on a trip to clarify to Steve Kevin, a famous Hollywood figure, that they never said the fact that he was plagiarized.

As for why there was no clarification before, it can only be said that within a day, they had not had time to respond.

As two insignificant little directors in Hollywood, they were filming, and it was not until Steve Kevin found them that they knew that someone was slandering Steve Kevin in their name.

This set of rhetoric, before coming, they have also been firmly prepared.

To prevent revenge by Steve Kevin.

Chapter 192 Incorporation and Retaliation

The two brothers sat in the morning light film company, nervously waiting for Steve Kevin to arrive.

From the reception room, there was a sound of greetings from the employees of Dawn Films and Steve Kevin from far away. The voice entered the ears of the two, and they knew that Steve Kevin was here.

With a feeling of being judged, the two looked at each other and stared at the door silently.

Dressed in a sleek high-end suit by Sister Helen Emma, ​​Steve Kevin and Davis came to the reception room.

Seeing the nervous expressions of the Wachowski brothers, Kevin did not accuse them of anything, but walked forward with a smile on his face, looking very happy to see them:

"Welcome to Dawn Films, my name is Steve Kevin."

This attitude eased the Wachowskis' nervousness.

The Wachowskis quickly stood up and introduced themselves.

"I'm Andy Wachowski."

"I'm Larry Wachowski."

After the two shook hands with Kevin, Larry Wachowski, the older brother, hurriedly said:

"Director Kevin, my brother and I, have never said that you copied our script. This is something that some media created out of nothing."

"It would be great to be able to meet Director Kevin in person today and clarify this matter. Before we came here, we planned to go to the newspaper office in the afternoon to issue a statement to scold those unscrupulous media."

Kevin said calmly:

"Don't worry about it, I came to you with other things."

"Do you want to be a director?"

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't use this as a quid pro quo to let you guys clarify this matter, but I really appreciate you guys."

"The so-called evidence, I read it carefully, and some of it is indeed very similar to what I want to express in my movie The Matrix."

"After I read it carefully, I think you are all geniuses with directorial talent."

"So, aside from the rest, do you want to be a director?"

Compared with the loss of the box office, being able to accept the Wachowskis is what Kevin needs most.

The future Marvel universe cannot be constructed by Kevin's ability alone.

A bunch of good directors is essential.

Among these superheroes, there are decent, antiheroes, technology, and magic.

In the style of the Wachowskis, the technical ones are more appropriate.

Kevin's words were sudden. The Wachowskis didn't react for a moment.

Not only did Steve Kevin not blame them, he wanted them to be directors?

This?

Do they dare to eat this pie?

Just looking at each other, the Wachowskis made a decision.

Brother Larry Wachowski responded:

"Of course I do!"

"Okay, as long as you are willing to sign a long-term contract with Chenxi Films, I will invest in you to make movies."

"After signing the contract, I will immediately invest in you to make a movie, with a capital of no less than 5 million."

"And, if the movie doesn't lose money, the sequel to The Matrix is ​​in your hands."

It's no secret that Steve Kevin doesn't make a sequel.

Steve Kevin does not do this kind of business that lies and makes money.

It doesn't matter if he is an investor like Pirates of the Caribbean.

Mission: Impossible, Batman, these all offered him a big price to be the director, but he didn't accept them.

Therefore, the credibility of this statement is very high.

The sudden excitement overwhelmed the two of them.

Andy Wachowski also responded immediately.

"We are willing to sign long-term contracts, as long as we can make movies."

In the current Hollywood, there are many kinds of relationships between directors and film companies. Some of them sign contracts with film companies and only make films invested by a certain film company.

There is also no fixed contract signed, just to get money for one film.

There is also a signed cooperation agreement. The director himself has a producer character, and he finds the project himself, and then the film company obtains the priority investment right.

Each of these has pros and cons.

And for the two who have never made a real movie, it is naturally a good thing to be able to sign a contract with a film company.

At least, Steve Kevin can guarantee that they will be directing directly when they come up.

This starting point is simply too high.

So high that they are willing to pay a huge price.

Kevin nodded.

"Then you go directly to Dawson and tell Dawson to sign the contract, and then you can submit the movie plan. As long as the project is confirmed to be feasible, I will arrange the funds."

The Wachowskis nodded and walked straight out.

Went to Dawson to discuss the signing.

Kevin looked at their backs and smiled silently. Historically, the Wachowski brothers stepped into the direction of directors this year.

I don't know what the reason is, so they haven't stepped into the road of directing until now, and then this incident came into Kevin's eyes.

Kevin picked them up easily.

Such a talented director is a huge asset for any studio.

Compared to the loss at the box office, it is simply too profitable.

Davis on the side was even more dumbfounded.

With one operation, the person who was plagiarized by Steve Kevin in the newspaper turned out to be the contracted director of Chenxi Film Company.

The world is so magical.

It is true that reality is more bizarre than fiction. If any novel dares to write like this, Davis will definitely make the author look bad.

Kevin glanced at Davis and smiled:

"Look, isn't this resolved?"

"But I have something I want to ask you."

"What's up?"
