MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 153

Kevin called a lawyer, signed a contract with Tobey Maguire, and agreed to pay three million dollars for the first Spider-Man movie.

That's what got him into action training.

The remuneration of this figure is very in line with Toby Maguiron's current status.

Before that, his salary was only a few hundred thousand dollars.

Shushan took him for only $500,000.

Under the circumstance that Shushan's box office is very good, for other commercial films that are not big productions and non-famous directors, his salary will not be less than five million US dollars.

But it's all about supply and demand.

For Tobey Maguire, he needed the opportunity for Steve Kevin's new Spider-Man protagonist.

But Kevin doesn't have to.

Therefore, it is natural to reduce the salary in this situation. After all, he has not yet become the kind of superstar who can drive the box office by himself.

After some synthesis, the figure of three million US dollars is very suitable.

If Spider-Man explodes again, it is estimated that his salary can go up to 10 million.

Of course, referring to other commercial masterpieces.

Here in Kevin, the second part, no more than eight million at most.

This is all agreed in the contract.

After all, everyone knew that a movie playing Steve Kevin would be a success, and the paycheck would definitely skyrocket.

Without this contractual constraint, the cost would have increased significantly for Kevin.

Of course, what should be given will be given, but it should not be so exaggerated.

After the talk, Tobey Maguire started training directly.

･･･

On the other side, Shushan is still in the show.

Out of curiosity, many Americans, after hearing that this film was shot from the mainland, chose to satisfy their curiosity and enter the cinema one by one.

Then, I was shocked by the world of Xianxia shown in the play.

It feels like the Lord of the Rings.

As far as the plot is concerned, in fact, the plot of The Lord of the Rings is boring. It is nothing more than letting the audience feel a real magical world through the movie.

It's like a special experience.

And Shushan, now has the feeling of Lord of the Rings, constructing a different world.

Through the worldview presented in the film, that epic sense of grandeur captivates the audience.

If the Lord of the Rings is a magical world.

Then Shushan is a world of immortals.

In this world, people can become gods or immortals through their own cultivation.

This is very different from the European and American world view, the kind of special culture born by God.

Very attractive.

More importantly, Chinese culture does not allow religion to come out against Taiwan.

Many times, if the movie involves European and American religious forces, it will be criticized by the church.

But a commercial film tells about Chinese culture and Chinese theology.

It's not even going to be on the line.

After all, God can't control Asia.

Chapter 226 Batman The Dark Knight 3 Released

Let’s not talk about the box office of the movie for now. It is relatively stable. In the case of increasing the number of films, the decline is not obvious, and the box office amount still maintains more than 20 million.

Compared with the box office amount, Shushan has made a lot of money in the surrounding development.

I don't know which genius developed the Feijian skateboard, this is an idea that even Kevin didn't expect.

It suddenly sold out among male audiences.

Down to eight-year-old children, up to forty-year-old uncles, all of them highly respect the feeling of flying with the sword.

In the movie, after the male protagonist learns to use the Divine Sword, the scene where the sword is flying is considered by the audience to be the most classic scene in the movie.

The protagonist is standing on a sword, and the heroine is standing behind him.

Not so cool and handsome.

This scene was also imitated by many couples on the street, and for a while, a skateboarding trend was formed.

And these trends also played a role in promoting Shushan from the side, keeping the box office at a steady decline.

This situation lasted for half a month, and the total box office reached 160 million, and the overall trend was still stable.

But at this time, it's time to reduce the flakes.

Because at this point in time, there is a sequel to the blockbuster released.

･･･

There are too many festivals in the Christmas period, and in this season, there is no way to start work.

Even if you are working, you have to take frequent vacations.

Therefore, the Spider-Man crew is in a state of vacation as a whole, and it will be better to wait until the Christmas period has passed completely.

During these times, Kevin was very busy, and accompanied all his women around.

Zhi was obedient, and then returned to his villa.

"Kevin, Batman The Dark Knight 3 is out, should we watch it?"

Emma looked at Kevin reading the newspaper and leaned over.

Kevin sighed.

"Don't watch it, the box office will definitely not be too bad, and the word of mouth will definitely not be very good."

The Joker has been put into Arkham Asylum by him.

At the same time, Jim Carrey is not a fool, and it is impossible to accept Warner's invitation to play the Joker again.

The role of the Joker has been perfected in the two Batman films.

To act again is tantamount to continuing the mink.

Self-destructing classic characters.

For Jim Carrey, this role is much stronger than the $20 million offered by Warner.

Therefore, in the third installment, Warner Bros. has introduced other villains.

But even Kevin himself has no confidence that he can surpass these two, let alone other directors.

Due to the fan effect and the big IP of the Dark Knight, the box office of this movie will definitely not be too bad. Warner made a small profit, so it is not a big problem.

However, in the follow-up, the development of the IP of Batman Dark Knight can only be put on hold temporarily.

This wave is equivalent to overdrafting the trust of the audience.

However, making money in the dark style will allow Warner to plunge into it and be unable to extricate itself.

Emma nodded understandingly.

Started pestering Kevin to watch other movies again.

This time, Kevin did not refuse, watching movies is a very good way of entertainment.

Inside Warner Bros.

Today marks the second day of Batman The Dark Knight 3's release.

The box office on the first day is about to go out.

A group of executives chatted happily in the conference room.

The box office explosion of the movie Shushan allowed Warner Bros. to slightly make up for the box office lost by Kevin's targeting.

But what they are most looking forward to is Batman Dark Knight 3.

With the foundation laid by Steve Kevin, the third film, they all hope to hit a higher box office, with a target of one billion dollars.

Then the fourth, fifth, and so on.

Unlike ordinary sequel movies, Batman's comic works have too much content to be mined.

Dozens of films have been filmed, and there is no need to worry about new content.

As long as it can make money, this is a super gold mine.

While they were having a heated discussion, the investigators sent in the data.

Robinov took the data and watched.

Looking at the original smile on his face, it gradually solidified.

The voices of the executives' discussions gradually decreased.

If the box office is a big sell, Robinov should definitely not look like this, is there any accident.

But no, it's the sequel to Steve Kevin's blockbuster movie.

Some executives couldn't help it and asked:

"President, did something happen?"

"Could it be that the box office on the first day was not ideal?"

Robinov shook his head and distributed the data.

Then he said with a stern face:

"The box office on the first day is 35 million. This data is definitely not bad, but you can take a look at the word-of-mouth survey below."

When other executives heard the news, they looked at the data one after another.

displayed above the data.

If it is a new audience who has not seen the previous two movies, then this Batman Dark Knight 3 is actually okay.

But only if you have seen the first two episodes of Batman The Dark Knight.

There are bad reviews for this movie.

The Dark Knight of Batman, relying on the strong dark flavor, has a large crowd.

In the same way, Batman broke away from other images in their minds and became a dark style.

And this third Batman Dark Knight, although it has tried its best to get close to the dark style, it still has a strong comic style.

This is due to the director's style.

It doesn't fit the style of the previous two.

This bad reputation immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

A commercial blockbuster with a poor reputation will have a very large decline in the follow-up.

Theoretically, the box office on the first day is 35 million. With a good reputation, the North American box office of 300 to 500 million is not a big problem.

But this bad word of mouth gave everyone present a heavy blow.

If the situation is not right, the North American box office may reach 200 million.

Although for a movie in general, this is already a big sell.

But for the sequel to the legendary Batman Dark Knight, this is completely unqualified data. More importantly, this bad box office is equivalent to destroying the series IP of Batman Dark Knight.

I don't know if the audience will approve of it if it is filmed in the future.
