MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 138

"As expected of a tycoon!"

Kevin complimented.

Of course, he also thought so in his heart. This person is not simple. If it was someone else, he would definitely have to open his mouth, but he was only doing a normal business, and this kind of favor was owed.

"Have a meal together?"

Kevin nodded.

Kirk Kerkorian took Kevin to his small dining room.

After a hearty lunch, Kevin left Las Vegas with a satisfied result.

For specific negotiations, there are naturally professionals, all Kevin has to do is to pay the corresponding cash flow.

However, this wave can be regarded as hollowing out most of the cash flow that Kevin has worked hard to earn in the past few years.

Of course, this is not a loss.

When the deal is completed, it means that Kevin has his own third company.

Dawn Studios, Marvel Entertainment, and this studio with a rich history in Hollywood, MGM.

Oh, yes, and P Corporation.

However, on the side of P Company, it is a film company that Kevin will never show.

Just silently make money for Kevin over there.

On the bright side, these three film companies can appear.

...

Three days later, word spread across Hollywood that control of MGM fell into the hands of Steve Kevin.

The presidents of other film companies all had ugly expressions on their faces, which meant that everyone knew very well that in the future, Kevin would have fewer and fewer opportunities to cooperate with the outside world, and they would face enormous pressure.

Only the executives of MGM were overjoyed.

Although it will take some time for this transaction to be completed, all MGM executives have already regarded Steve Kevin as the sole owner of MGM.

In this form, when Kevin stepped into the company again.

Countless executives called out Boss Kevin.

Kevin greeted one by one with a smile, and then came to Leiter's office.

"Let, you call all the executives, I'm going to have a meeting."

"Yes."

Leiter barely controlled his joy and responded loudly.

Chapter 205 JK`Rowling

After a while, Leiter returned to Kevin and said:

"Boss Kevin, they are already waiting in the conference room."

There was uncontrollable excitement in Leiter's words.

An old company with humanity has such charm, and its employees will also regard the company as their home.

MGM's successive losses are not without the factor of raising too many old employees.

Of course, relatively, these old employees are also the company's wealth.

All I can say is what the boss of this company thinks.

And these employees are also happy to see the prosperity of the company.

Everyone is very happy to be able to change Steve Kevin as the boss of the company.

"Okay, let's go."

Kevin responded and walked towards the conference room with his feet raised.

Kevin and Reit entered the office with their front and back feet.

"Boss Kevin!"

"Boss Kevin!"

"..."

More than a dozen executives greeted Kevin one after another.

A look of hope appeared on each of their faces.

Kevin nodded, and then he came to the front of the conference room, where Leiter usually sat.

Looking at the executives present, Kevin was also satisfied.

MGM has completely fallen into his hands, which means that his career has entered a new stage.

The biggest advantage of a large film company like MGM, and general small and medium-sized film companies, is in addition to the degree of perfection of its various businesses and personnel.

It also has complete global distribution capabilities.

That's the top priority.

A big investment production, if only released in the United States, it is not bad to just keep the cost.

If you want to make a profit, in addition to the follow-up copyright, you have to rely on other markets.

If it does not have its own distribution capabilities, even if it is released globally, the profits will be exploited by the distributor.

And with this channel, at least, no one can sanction MGM.

The biggest factor that determines whether MGM can grow is the quality of the film.

Thinking in a deeper direction, the assumption in Kevin's mind is that Chenxi Film Company will never go public.

All film copyrights are concentrated in the hands of Chenxi Films, which can ensure that they are not controlled by capital.

As a partner, MGM shares profits and obtains copyright authorization, but Chenxi can hold MGM by the throat at any time, which is the best situation.

On the other hand, for these company executives, as long as Kevin is the boss, there is no difference in these operations.

As a listed company, MGM can raise funds for Kevin and expand its influence.

This kind of structure is the best, can enjoy the benefits brought by listing, and can avoid being controlled by capital to the greatest extent.

This is the future foreshadowed in Kevin's mind.

These arrangements for MGM's future are just a flash in my mind.

Kevin sat down, and this started his speech as the boss.

"Hello everyone!"

"Here, I am honored to take over the shares of MGM from Mr. Kirk Kerkorian."

"And thus have a controlling stake in MGM."

"As the new owner of MGM, I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you in the days to come and bring MGM back to greatness."

The executives quickly applauded.

After ten seconds of applause, Kevin waved his hand to stop.

The applause disappeared, and everyone looked at Kevin, waiting for Kevin to give new instructions.

"Everyone, MGM currently lacks a core film, just like the series that brought MGM to the glorious 007."

"And I, after a series of selections, have chosen a target."

Everyone's attention quickly focused.

A series of works favored by Steve Kevin, this is an existence like Jinshan.

Looking at the executives present, Kevin took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it to everyone present.

Some executives read the stories serialized in the newspaper and read their names.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

This strange name is confusing.

However, since it was a story recommended by Steve Kevin, the people present were naturally patient enough to read the story.

･･･

On the other hand, England.

In a small cafe in Edinburgh, a woman with blond hair and a haggard face was lying on the table and writing something.

Beside her, a cute little girl took a sip of sweet milk from time to time, looking around with quirky eyes.

But from the beginning to the end, she didn't make any sound.

In her young heart, she knew that at this time, she could not disturb her mother.

Joanne Katherine Rowling, after writing a short Harry Potter story, crumpled the papers and threw them in the trash.

From the painful expression on her face, she was very dissatisfied with this plot, but she couldn't think of a better plot for a while.

This made her very painful.

This is the most uncomfortable stage for the author, Calvin.

Once you get into this situation, the first thing is that you can't write it. Even if you force it, it will be very confusing, and you don't even know what you're writing.

Looking at the daughter beside her, Rowling forced herself to put away this bad mood again.

Showing a smile, kissing her daughter, and seeing her three-year-old daughter's sweet smile, Rowling regained her mood and continued her writing.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, she has now completed most of the progress.

But she has yet to find the right publisher.

However, some newspapers accepted her contribution, but the simple serialization did not cause much repercussions, and it did not improve her life plight in any way.

Currently, after the divorce, she has given up claiming child support from her daughter's father in order to gain full custody of her daughter.

There is no income other than the £50 a week he can receive.

It is a lot of pressure to support herself and her daughter, and for this reason, Rowling is constantly writing.

At the same time, she submits manuscripts to major publishers, hoping to be picked by which publishers to publish her works, so as to obtain huge income.

.....

At the same time, Dawson, who traveled thousands of miles from the United States to Edinburgh, England, hurried to this cafe after finding the trace of Rowling.

Looking left and right, after seeing a blond woman with a three-year-old girl, Dawson immediately set a target in his mind.

She is Kevin's designated Harry Potter author, Rowling.

Although I don't know why, Kevin made him come all the way, just for such an unpublished story, but out of trust in Kevin, he faithfully implemented Kevin's instructions.

After all, if it's not important, Kevin has absolutely no reason to let him come.

Since Kevin arranged it this way, it shows that Kevin attaches great importance to this matter.

Then he will just follow Kevin's instructions.

After walking towards Rowling and coming to her side, Dawson said:

"Hello, are you Ms. Joanne Katherine Rowling?"

Chapter 206 Buying Out Harry Potter

"you are?"

Rowling was still writing when she heard someone call her name and turned to look.

I saw Dawson.

After several years of his career as president, Dawson has gradually developed an unusual bearing, and at first glance he is a big man.

Rowling politely asked his identity.

At the same time, he racked his brains to think about whether he had ever known such a big man before.
