MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 142

But overall, it was within Kevin's expectations.

Mitt and Zach on the side were even more happy.

The success of the peak hour once again proved their strength.

I believe that if this continues, it will not be far from the time when they will direct a movie alone.

As for the specific arrangement, it is up to Kevin.

The two of them were not in a hurry at all, and the route Kevin arranged for them was very good, from the assistant director to directing the movie together.

Step by step is very safe.

According to Kevin's plan, they believe that when the time comes, they will be able to direct the film independently.

Seeing their happy expressions, Kevin clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, don't worry about the box office on the first day. Then you can all go to rest. After a few months of work, let's go and relax everywhere."

"By the way, Jackie Chan, let's talk alone."

Seeing that Kevin had something to do with Jackie Chan alone, Mitt and Zach looked at each other and left first.

They also want to discuss travel with their girlfriends earlier.

After everyone left, Kevin looked at Jackie Chan and said directly:

"Brother Jackie Chan, do you have any ideas for your next movie?"

Jackie Chan said with a thoughtful look on his face:

"I want to write and direct a movie myself, and try to see if I can rely on myself to gain a foothold in Hollywood."

Although Jackie Chan didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that the box office at the peak hour stimulated him.

Seeing that it is a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, more than all the money he has made in the movies he has made for so many years. I have to say that he is jealous, and he also wants to prove that the success of the movie is his own, not because of others.

Kevin didn't have any displeasure, just said lightly:

"Then, next year, I will contact Jackie Chan to make a sequel to Rush Hour?"

Jackie Chan took a deep breath and said:

"it is good."

A tacit understanding arose in the simple conversation between the two.

Jackie Chan wants to take a selfie and direct himself to get the biggest profit from the movie and prove himself at the same time.

And Kevin used Rush Hour 2 as Jackie Chan's retreat in Hollywood. No matter what his self-directed movies are, he won't leave Hollywood in embarrassment.

Of course, if Jackie Chan does not engage in self-directed dramas, the remuneration for Rush Hour 2 is at least seven or eight million dollars.

But if the selfie is self-directed, then the remuneration that Rush Hour 2 can give will have to be adjusted according to the box office of Jackie Chan's movie.

This is the tacit agreement they reached.

After talking about this matter, Kevin and Jackie Chan left the morning movie together.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, Kevin transferred a red envelope of one million dollars to Jackie Chan, which was regarded as a compliment to his actor.

After all, Jackie Chan was paid only $3 million for this movie.

Jim Carrey was paid several times as much.

Of course, Jackie Chan is not dissatisfied with this.

If it wasn't for a small explosion in the red area, maybe there would be no three million dollars.

Kevin is now giving him another million dollars, which is also very generous.

As for the two directors, as well as Jim Carrey, they are also red envelopes of this amount.

･･･

Drive away the sunset in the morning, and time passes day by day.

On the first day of the box office is very good, Mitt and Zach Snyder each brought relatives, and Jackie Chan went to Hong Kong for vacation.

Kevin's side is still busy with work.

Chapter 211 Harry Potter Complete

Jackie Chan, Zach, Mitt and others all went to Hong Kong to go home or go on vacation.

The promotion of rush hour shows is also ramping up.

As a kind of comedy action film that has never appeared in Hollywood, Jim Carrey's funny scenes and Jackie Chan's fighting scenes are perfectly integrated.

Except for the action scenes of Steve Kevin's movies, the action scenes of other movies were completely crushed in front of this movie.

This phenomenon has caught the attention of countless Hollywood studios.

After they took a closer look at the film's production crew, they found that in Steve Kevin's films, there was a profession that did not exist in Hollywood.

Martial arts action instruction.

After some investigation, they found out that this is a film occupation unique to the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

After some research, these film companies have found that with the addition of this profession, Hong Kong films are much better than Hollywood films in terms of action.

Some relatively large-scale film companies have dispatched personnel to Hong Kong to recruit excellent action directors.

Of course, these Kevins didn't ask.

Excellent action guidance, all in his hands, signed long-term contracts, which is a valuable asset.

The rest, if others want it, he can't prevent it.

The impact of the rush hour on the film industry is that since then, there has been a Chinese professional film career in Hollywood.

For ordinary audiences, they are watching these wonderful action scenes.

The action scenes in the play once again embedded the concept of Chinese martial arts into the audience's memory.

Many Americans even actually send their children to various Chinese martial arts halls, which has benefited many Chinese Americans invisibly.

Of course, these are just some of the side effects of the movie's big sales.

Kevin only cares about the box office of the movie.

The big sale at the peak time has greatly alleviated the problem of the shortage of funds on hand for Kevin.

Although it will take several months for the account to arrive, at least the money has arrived steadily.

With this money, the production costs and operating costs of the subsequent Spider-Man are basically enough.

After all, Kevin now has a total net worth of more than two billion dollars.

Chenxi Film Company, the company itself is worthless, but there are several copyrights belonging to the company that total 300 to 500 million US dollars.

On Marvel’s side, due to the consecutive losses, the current market value is low, but fortunately Kevin has been delisted.

But even if you sell it, $300 million will be sky-high.

In addition to the 60% stake in MGM, the value is about 1.6 billion US dollars, totaling more than 2 billion US dollars.

Of course, these are only tentative estimates, and if the real sale is made, the price will be calculated separately.

But in the past few years, Kevin has created a miracle.

Of course, this achievement is nothing compared to the capital in the Internet age.

･･･

"Kevin, the company's office space is not enough, should we rent another place to work, or?"

Dawson pushed open the door of the office and asked.

Kevin thought for a while and said:

"Then... let's build a building, shall we?"

Having said this, Kevin thought.

Not to mention MGM for the time being, the office location of Chenxi Films and Marvel’s office are not very good, so they simply built a building.

At the cost of this time, building a 30-story building would cost tens of millions of dollars, and it was still a luxury version.

"Dawson, go to the designer and prepare the drawings for us first."

"Yes!"

Dawson is also excited. Among Hollywood, there are really not many movie companies that are qualified to build their own buildings.

The construction of this building means another progress for Chenxi Film Company.

Getting closer to the big studios.

The status of his CEO, within the circle, naturally has also risen.

After arranging the affairs of the building, Kevin is temporarily in the stage of having nothing to do.

Start your vacation time.

･････

More than a month passed in a flash.

Kevin took the sisters Helen and Emma, ​​as well as Donnie and Nicolas Cage, to his favorite Pirates of the Caribbean town this holiday.

The summer heat is about to pass, and the off-season is about to begin here.

They are enjoying the last heat of summer.

After this season, it will be another ten months before I can run on the beach in shorts and short sleeves.

The phone rang, and Kevin stopped the sisters who were massaging him and took the call:

"I'm Steve Kevin."

"Boss Kevin, I'm Leiter, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone have been written, and the manuscript is now in my hands."

"Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back tomorrow."

Kevin's whole body was shocked.

The long-awaited Harry Potter finally arrived, thinking of this, he couldn't help but apologize to Warner in his heart.

Diablo DC, if the original history, they suffered this loss.

Then Kevin's operation can only be said to restore history.

But this wave of Harry Potter really gave Warner a fatal blow.

Warner, who took a fork in the road, also lost the Harry Potter series of gold swallowing beasts. Thinking about Kevin, he felt sorry for Warner.

Even shed a few crocodile tears for Warner.

But let him let go of Harry Potter to Warner, that is absolutely impossible.

Marvel plus Harry Potter, plus Pirates of the Caribbean, plus The Matrix, these series are combined, and a super movie giant has risen.

However, the two most important battleships, Marvel and Harry Potter, have just set sail.

Kevin knew that the real predicament had not yet come, and once that time came, he was bound to face countless powerful enemies.

･･･

Early the next morning, Kevin, who had rushed back from the Pirates of the Caribbean town, drove to MGM.

Kevin came straight to Leiter's office.

"Boss Kevin!"

Leiter immediately stood up when he saw Kevin.

Kevin waved his hand, indicating that he was welcome, and then asked:

"Where's the first draft?"

Leiter was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that Kevin must be asking Harry Potter.

He quickly took out a bound, printed version of Harry Potter from a locked drawer under his desk and handed it to Kevin.

As for the original, it remained in Rowling's hands.
