MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 135

"rent?"

"What kind of money does that make?"

Griffin smiled contemptuously.

"Selling a DVD, I can make tens of dollars, and renting one, can I make five dollars?"

"Of course, and more."

"In fact, although your DVDs are in great demand in the market, people's purchasing power is deeply suppressed."

"Do you really think a man is so rich?"

"In terms of purchasing power, a man is not as good as a dog owned by a woman."

This rule applicable to Chinese men is actually universal in the world. It is determined by the physiological structure of men and women, not manpower.

Chapter 201 The Future Development of \"P\"

Calling men less purchasing power than dogs?

Griffin was about to refute, but suddenly he was a little speechless.

Since the beginning of the feminist movement in the United States, they have been proud of asking men for money. Under this trend, a large number of American men have been reduced to cash machines.

The purchasing power of men is really average.

Even buying a film is usually two or three months.

Is it that they don't want a change?

Of course not.

As a man, Kevin understands the psychology of men better. When there is such a need, he needs freshness every time. This is the nature of a man.

The reason for not buying it is undoubtedly the pocketbook.

In addition, buying this kind of thing is not an open and above-mentioned purchase.

If Kevin can provide a platform for renting and selling, it will definitely be able to release this part of the purchasing power, and Kevin will also provide hidden services.

For example, if the disc is hidden in a normal video disc, a young man wants to buy it but is embarrassed. Kevin can pack it into a normal disc, such as the Pirates of the Caribbean Collector's Edition.

In the eyes of people who buy it, they naturally understand the truth.

These methods can remove the last wool from men with such low purchasing power.

But Kevin said so much, and could not impress Griffin.

After all, Griffin himself is making money now.

It was unacceptable for him to abandon what he had and come to work for Kevin.

"Director Kevin, but you still haven't given me the biggest reason to sell the company."

Griffin said solemnly.

There was a gleam in his eyes.

Kevin knew at a glance that it wasn't that it couldn't be sold, but that there was no reason to sell it.

That being the case, Kevin gave him a reason.

"100 million US dollars, buy your company, you keep 20% of the profit share of the shares, after you leave, this part of the profit share is automatically invalidated."

"You can't leave your job for three years, and then you can do whatever you want."

"This billion dollars will be paid in three years."

Griffin's attitude softened immediately.

"Hey, deal."

Griffin knew that Kevin was buying him for three years with $100 million. His film company was actually worth nothing, millions of dollars.

It is impossible for him not to agree to this kind of money-giving business.

Looking at the excited Griffin, Kevin was also very happy.

He is confident that he will make a profit in the first year, which means that in fact, what he actually paid is the $30 million in the first year, and the latter is paid to him with the money made by Griffin's company.

For specific details, another lawyer will be responsible for negotiation.

What Kevin has to do is to grasp the development direction of the company, looking at Griffin, Kevin directly instructed:

"Griffin, next, you're going to create a whole new way to rent DVDs."

"I call it a membership subscription system."

"As long as users open a membership with us, they can permanently hold a certain number of DVDs within a certain period of time, and there is no limit to the return date. As long as the membership does not expire, the disks will always belong to them, and they can be replaced at any time. , At the same time, we also want to give old members who have opened some discounts."

"We have to do it, the more we watch, the more money we save."

"..."

Kevin is almost copying the development model of Netflix, relying on this model, Netflix defeated all enemies and became the boss of the DVD rental and sales industry.

At present, what Kevin wants is to occupy the adult DVD market first.

And then to the normal DVD market.

As for why, Kevin had to pay such a high price to recruit the short fat man in front of him.

Kevin can only say that knowing the development path of the industry does not mean 100% success.

There are too many factors, but Kevin insists on one point.

Talent is the most important.

Talented people and a good development path are the biggest factors on the road to success.

As long as the control of the company is in hand, Kevin Qian is willing to give it, and talents will stay at a price that others cannot give.

Griffin's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. From Kevin's mouth, he can hear the horror of this rental system. With this special rental system, Kevin is likely to unify the adult DVD market.

"Boss, you are a genius."

Griffin was not convinced until this time.

The whimsy and business plan in Kevin's mouth is simply perfect.

If it weren't for the intimidation of Steve Kevin's status in Hollywood, he would have wanted to go out with Kevin's business plan and go it alone.

When I think about the consequences of offending Steve Kevin, I think again and again, and with a 20% share, it seems like a lot.

Griffin still put away these undeserved thoughts.

Kevin's expression remained unmoved, not at all afraid that he would go it alone with his business plan.

Today, Kevin's status is not something that ordinary people can offend.

As a wise man, he would not make such an unwise move.

After all, Kevin also left him 20% of the dividend.

"Stop flattering, I will arrange for someone to go to your company with you later and hand over."

"You have to act as soon as possible on the specific work arrangement."

Griffin nodded.

He was also very anxious at this time, and wanted to implement actions in accordance with Kevin's business plan as soon as possible.

I had a brief chat with Griffin about the specific pre-operation methods, including how to promote this membership system, and after establishing physical stores in those places in the early stage.

Kevin then arranged to go with him to hand over the new company.

After arranging this matter, Kevin turned his attention to the plans of the Marvel Universe again.

The next day, Kevin went straight to Marvel.

......

"Dandy, how about the latest episode of the Spider-Man series, and the series with Iron Man?"

Stan Lee asked the editor directly.

The editor-in-chief Dandy quickly replied:

"The word of mouth is quite good, and people agree with the new images of Spider-Man and Iron Man."

"They have praised their characters, and they should be grounded if they agree with superheroes."

Stan Lee nodded.

Steve Kevin's Cinematic Universe project has become his mission for the rest of his life.

He has put his heart and soul into the cause.

Affected by the general environment, the sales of comics by all comic companies are declining, so Stan Lee simply ignores the sales.

And pay attention to word of mouth.

Different from the superheroes of high, big, and high in DC comics, the superheroes in Stan Lee's hands pursue grounding.

The poisonous tongue, the arms business, the kind-hearted Tony Stark, Iron Man.

Talkative, kind, and good friend of New York residents, Spider-Man Peter Parker.

These superheroes with minor flaws are more popular with the public than superheroes with perfect characters.

Chapter 202 Preparing to Buy MGM

The future DC also realized that, so in the movie, DC's superheroes are no longer so perfect.

Of course, Nolan set the tone, dark style.

It's a nightmare that Warner can never get rid of.

Kevin strode into Marvel Entertainment.

Kevin Feige is scowling about the day-to-day affairs of Marvel, before the Cinematic Universe takes off.

In the comics market, Marvel has been defeated by DC.

Originally, although DC Comics is big, in fact, Marvel Comics also has its own fan group. Unfortunately, after the release of Batman Dark Knight.

Everything has changed.

The market share of DC Comics in the comics industry has increased dramatically, from 40% to 55%.

In contrast, Marvel has dropped from 35% to 30%.

Moreover, the market share is still declining.

As for some other comic companies, they succumbed to the two companies and shared the rest of the market.

"Feige, why is your face so ugly?"

Kevin came to Feige's office, and as soon as he came in, he saw him with a stinky face.

"Brother Kevin!"

Feige was overjoyed at first, and then replied:

"The company's daily revenue is getting less and less..."

"It's not your fault, this is my business strategy."

Kevin took the blame directly on himself.

"All you have to do is promote the comics of the Cinematic Universe series."

"How about the recent word of mouth, how is the character design?"

Feige then put away his sad face, and announced the sales and word-of-mouth of the newly restarted comics such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, and X-Men.

Kevin nodded as he listened.

The comics, by and large, followed the setting of the cinematic universe that Kevin needed, and it also gained public praise.

As for the decline in sales, it is impossible to do so.

After all, such a big environment, coupled with the success of Kevin's own filming of the Dark Knight for DC, has squeezed Marvel's living space.
