MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 159

"Everyone, pack up, go to the Vienna Hotel for a party, and then have a vacation!"

The scene suddenly cheered.

But that has nothing to do with Kevin.

If Kevin attended this kind of party, it would be tantamount to spoiling everyone's interest.

As a sensible person, Kevin would not do such a disappointing thing.

Spider-Man, as an all-green screen movie, is naturally not cheap to produce, and the construction period also takes a lot of time.

Kevin is not in a hurry, anyway, it is only the beginning of May, and two more months to make special effects, just in time for the prime time of summer.

Now, he is going to rest for a few days, and then go to work in the later period.

Helen sisters, he hasn't touched them for three months, and I have to say that Kevin can't wait now.

Warner Bros.

Since the disagreement with Kevin, Warners has paid great attention to all of Kevin's movements.

Naturally, Marvel's trends can't hide from them.

When Kevin started filming Spider-Man, Warner was even more jealous.

No way, the benefits of Batman The Dark Knight are too great.

The same is a comic adaptation work, the same is a classic IP, and the same is the work of Steve Kevin.

Batman The Dark Knight can make a lot of money, and so can Spiderman, which is the source of their jealousy.

Today, the president of DC Comics was called to Warner.

Although they are all presidents, the status of Warner Bros. in Time Warner is much higher than that of DC.

Comparing the comics market and the movie market, both in terms of influence and market value are far from each other.

Of course, this refers to this era.

After all, this is an age when IP operations are not yet mature enough, people have not yet realized the true power of IP, and DC, as the producer of IP content, has not yet reached the time when they really exert their strength.

conference room.

Robinoff, handed Marvel's latest comic, Shushan World to Jon Berg, and said:

"Jon, look at this cartoon, do you have any ideas?"

Jon Berg took the comic and flipped through it.

The plot is very simple, that is, in modern society, there are races different from human beings hidden.

Among them, there are cultivators who aim to become immortals.

There are cannibals who aim to become demons, and there are monsters who alienate themselves.

And these things are all superpowers formed by human beings entering the inner world, that is, the world of Shushan, and then changing.

The layout of Shushan is inspired by the movie Shushan.

In other words, this comic has rubbed off the popularity of the movie Shushan. The key point is that only Marvel can rub it off.

After all, the copyright of Shushan is in the hands of Chenxi Film, and Chenxi and Marvel are both Kevin's industries.

Jon Berg finished reading the comic, then raised his head and said:

"Marvel, it took away the popularity of the movie."

Robinov said with a serious look:

"Yes, I'm thinking, can we also take advantage of the popularity of a Xianxia."

This is Robinov's sudden thought after observing for so long.

If you can't beat Kevin, can you get a wave of traffic from Kevin?

Simply put, it is whether they can make money by following Kevin.

This is a very normal business behavior, even Kevin can't say anything.

For Kevin's vision, after so many cooperations, Robinoff has great trust in him.

The subject matter of Kevin's film can be described as imaginative. What other people make fails and what he makes succeeds.

In the opinion of Warner Bros., which lacks movie-themed IP, it is humiliating to follow suit as a big film company, but if it can make money, it is worth it.

Not to mention other themes, Warner Bros., which also owns a top comic company in the industry, first targeted the comics of Shushan World.

Isn't it just writing about Chinese culture? It's simple.

There is no shortage of talents if you have money, and you can always find talents in this area.

Harry Potter, as well as Shushan, showed Kevin's filmmaking skills in front of Warner.

Write or draw the corresponding works first, and under the condition of ensuring the quality, publicize them and forcibly create IP.

Then film it.

Driving an entire industry chain, the money earned is much stronger than a single movie.

Robinoff, who has seen this through, and in the current state of Warner's profitability is not very good, the new development route that he thinks is to follow the operation of Steve Kevin.

Make money together.

Fantastic Steve Kevin makes big money, they make small money.

The purpose of calling the president of DC is to discuss how to draw a Xianxia comic with the flavor of Shushan.

Jon Berg hesitated and said:

"What does the president mean, follow suit?"

Robinov nodded.

"Yes, just follow suit."

DC was acquired by Time Warner through Warner Bros., so in name, DC is actually a subsidiary of Warner Bros.

In the face of Robinov's request, he could not refuse.

"Yes, but it will take time."

"I'll give you three months to make a level Xianxia comic, is it feasible?"

Robinov pressed further.

Robinoff said so, and Jon Berg naturally couldn't refuse.

"Can."

Robinov nodded, and then discussed the details with him.

The cost of producing a comic is not high. As for whether it can be popular, no one knows.

But at least, Shushan World, despite the popularity of the movie Shushan, the overall sales are not bad, except that the sales of the core characters of the Marvel series are not comparable.

Compared with some second-tier characters, the popularity is even higher, so there is a possibility that their popularity as a fairy is also popular, which is worth a try.

On the other side, Kevin is exchanging feelings with Helen and Emma.

Chapter 234 Peak Marketing Strategy

Tossed by waves.

Kevin's villa is especially in line with the atmosphere of spring at this moment.

That's the smell called estrus.

After tossing for a day, Kevin released all the pressure and entered a relaxed rhythm.

The weather in May is not very hot, which is very suitable for people to travel.

Under the influence of Shushan, tens of thousands of American middle-class people have traveled to Mount Emei on the mainland.

Some of them have already been there in December.

However, Mount Emei in winter does not show all its charm to tourists.

It wasn't until spring that it gradually recovered.

Therefore, many of these tourists, taking advantage of this time, chose to travel to the mainland again.

However, Mount Emei received not only tourists from the United States, but the movie Shushan was sold all over the world.

The impact is that tourists from all over the world go to Mount Emei on the mainland to play, which brings a huge flow of people to the local area, and the indirect impact on economic benefits is huge.

After learning about this, it is said that the big leader in charge of this aspect gave instructions. In the future, if there are Hollywood directors who come to the mainland to film scenes, they will give strong support.

At the same time, in order to thank Steve Kevin, although there is no clear rhetoric, it is circulating behind the scenes that as long as Steve Kevin's films enter the mainland, they will enjoy support and receive the same treatment as mainland films. Restricted by the schedule, and the tax rate is the same as that of mainland films.

For now, maybe that's not doing much good for Steve Kevin.

But once the mainland movie market grows, this condition alone can allow Kevin to earn an additional 20% of the income of other Hollywood movies.

That's a pretty impressive number, and the benefit of not being affected by the schedule is even greater.

Of course, Kevin didn't know this, there was still a long time before the rise of the mainland, he was just planning for the future.

After the disaster, the whole world fell into collapse. Only the mainland, with its excellent system, showed amazing dispatching power in the face of the disaster, thus getting rid of the impact of the disaster at the fastest speed.

Since then, the mainland market will be the place where the global coveted.

With the mainland market at that time, Kevin was as stable as Mount Tai.

In the villa, enjoy the fancy service of Sister Helen Emma, ​​and relax after three days.

Kevin took all the film and headed to ILM for post-processing.

As a commercial blockbuster, special effects are indispensable.

Almost every movie of Kevin uses the current peak special effects, not afraid of expensive, but afraid of not being able to produce the effect.

Among Spider-Man, there are more special effects involved, such as the image of the Ghost Rider, the flaming **** motorcycle that pulls the wind, and the flying iron armor of Iron Man.

Spider-Man floats over the city, and the special effects of the villain Sandman.

For two months, if I don't work overtime, I'm afraid it will be very stressful.

But this is easy to say, as long as the money is sufficient, no one will refuse to work overtime.

After returning to the company, briefly understanding the progress of Harry Potter, and cooperating with Dawson to take some promotional photos of Harry Potter, Kevin plunged into Industrial Light and Magic and started working day and night again.

Meanwhile, after three months of publicity.

Casting for the Harry Potter films has also reached its final deadline.

Among the tens of thousands of participants, thousands of choices were made, and two hundred children were finally selected.

Dawn Movies will reimburse the two hundred families for their round-trip air tickets and travel expenses.

Of course, for the convenience of filming, these two hundred families do not care about the specific country, but at least their native language must be English.

This limits, in fact, the selection of actors all over the world, and ultimately the selection of actors is mainly between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Other countries just cooperated and participated in a grand event.

-------------------------------------

Dawson was in the middle of a live broadcast on HBO.

This live broadcast was specially designed by HBO TV for Chenxi Films. The purpose is to help Chenxi Films spread the influence of Harry Potter-related matters.

Of course, in exchange for all the ratings they get, they don't have to pay Chenxi Company, and Chenxi Company doesn't have to pay them.

Both sides, on the matter of Harry Potter's momentum, each get what they want.

Two hundred families entered the field one by one and began the second round of selection.

The goal is to select the three most adorable little actors from the two hundred children. To this end, HBO has also opened a text message poll to allow all audiences to participate.
