MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 173

Remove costs.

The two film companies are equivalent to a blood loss of 200 million US dollars.

This·····

The president of Paramount and the president of Fox were crying to death.

At the same time, he silently prepared in his heart to block James Cameron from Hollywood, and he would never want to receive any film contracts from them in the future.

Chapter 254 Strange Trend

If they lose 200 million dollars in blood, even a big director like James Cameron will be disliked by major film companies.

He must re-prove himself through low-budget movies, and then other movie companies will try to increase investment.

After the Titanic, so to speak.

James Cameron has lost his title of director.

･･･

Dawn movie.

Kevin took advantage of this holiday to gather several directors of Chenxi Films to exchange their experiences as directors.

Directing is a relatively free profession.

During this holiday, the rest time is not as much as that of ordinary employees.

But not everyone really cares about that.

After all, when they are not working, they have a lot of time to spend with their families.

Kevin looked at the Titanic data sent up, and the whole person was a little stunned.

In his memory, it seemed that the Titanic swept the schedule at that time...

How come there is only so much first-day box office?

After thinking about it carefully in his mind, Kevin found the problem. It turned out that he had confused the achievements of the Titanic on the mainland with that of the United States.

As time passed, some things were not remembered so clearly.

The first-day box office of 4.7 million is the result of the Titanic.

Compared with the Titanic's $200 million investment, people in the industry can tell at a glance that the investment companies behind the Titanic, Fox and Paramount, lost a lot.

Only Kevin knew what was so outrageous about the Titanic.

Compared with the general commercial film release cycle of one month.

Titanic, the previous life was released in the United States for 27 weeks, and the month was six to seven months.

The reason why the theaters have not been released is very simple, the decline of Titanic is very small.

Even at special times like Valentine's Day, it's peculiar to be higher than the premiere.

Relying on this kind of steady, but stable enough box office, Titanic is about to create a box office miracle.

"Director Kevin, Titanic only made $5 million on its first day?"

Tsui Ke was immediately puzzled.

You must know that Kevin mentioned it repeatedly and asked him to follow the path of the Titanic.

He admits that the Titanic was really good.

However, compared with Kevin's words, the movies that can create miracles seem to be a bit misnomer.

Kevin looked blankly ahead, as if looking at the future.

Of course, he does look to the future.

Hearing Tsui Hark's doubts, Kevin smiled slightly without explaining:

"You'll know in a month."

"Listen to me, Titanic, it's going to be a movie that makes a movie history, and James Cameron is bound to be a **** for this movie."

Speaking of this, Kevin has a bit of envy. Although he remembered the Titanic's first-day box office incorrectly, this does not affect the Titanic's imminent consecration.

As a not-so-pure director, Kevin knew that, in this state, he would never be able to make a James Cameron movie.

Although he was able to become the highest grossing director.

But it's hard for him to have James Cameron's place in the hearts of fans.

He lacks an absolute masterpiece.

Batman The Dark Knight, although the connotation is enough, the box office is far from the Titanic.

And The Matrix, in his hands, although the box office is higher.

But it doesn't have that special smell anymore.

However, think of MGM, Dawn Movies, and Marvel, plus that unspeakable industry.

Kevin instantly strengthened his confidence.

Now is not the time for him to be self-willed.

When will these industries become completely bigger?

That's when Kevin can do whatever he wants.

At that time, he was able to shoot all kinds of movies regardless of the cost, and realize the real movie he wanted.

Several people did not refute.

Kevin's words never go wrong.

There must be a reason why he is so optimistic about the Titanic.

After chatting for a while, after pointing fingers at the movie they were about to shoot, Kevin let them communicate with each other.

Go to Dawson now.

Just now, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten a very important thing. Netflix was established in 1997.

Now 1997 is almost over.

That said, Netflix may even have been running for a while.

If it is other industries, even Apple, Kevin doesn't really care.

Again, don't make extra money.

But Netflix, as the output destination of the entertainment industry, can add the last important piece of territory to his huge business empire.

This is absolutely impossible for him to give up.

Opening the door, Dawson was still dealing with the company.

As the company grew, Dawson got busier and busier.

But busyness is accompanied by happiness.

When a man has power, the state of mind is completely different.

As the president of Chenxi Films, Dawson is now outside, no matter where he is, he is the object of everyone's favor.

This kind of taste can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

The more he understood, the more reluctant Dawson was to relinquish that status.

Therefore, reflected in the work, the company is my home.

Even during this time when most employees are on vacation, Dawson works normally eight hours a day.

Usually work overtime regularly.

Anyway, Kevin usually comes to the company and can always see Dawson.

"Dawson, there are very important things to do next."

As soon as he entered Dawson's office, Kevin said with a serious face.

Dawson immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

Dawson agreed immediately.

This kind of thing that needs to be specially mentioned to him is a major event and must be taken seriously.

Sitting on the seat opposite the desk, Kevin flashed a thoughtful look on his face and said:

"Dawson, these days, you have arranged for someone to go to Los Gatos, California to find a company called Netflix. Their main business is movie DVD rental business."

"After finding it, buy this company at all costs, you can give their company's executives a certain share, but they must be tied to the company's development."

"Once you leave, you are not allowed to work in this industry."

Netflix, in the future, will be the only long-form video giant in the United States.

Note, is the only one.

Other video sites, unremittingly in front of it.

The status is very similar to that of Disney in Hollywood.

The market value is as high as 260 billion US dollars.

With Marvel, Kevin is on his way to replacing Disney in Hollywood.

If you can get another long video giant like Netflix.

Kevin has completely formed a closed loop in the entertainment industry.

As for the publishing house, it's easy to say, just buy one at that time.

The movie feeds back to the publishing house, it's too simple.

At the same time, Kevin is also prepared in his heart that he must get Netflix.

If you can't get it, destroy it.

Kevin will use various methods to stifle the development of Netflix and strangle it in the cradle.

Now, Kevin can only hope that the current shareholders of Netflix will not act irrationally and reject the goodwill he has shown.

Steve Kevin's kindness is not so easy to refuse.

Chapter 255 Unusually stable decline

Being the boss for so long, Kevin is not bad at all.

"Yes!"

From Kevin's tone, Dawson understood the importance of this matter.

Immediately agreed.

"After the acquisition, give me a call."

Dawson nodded.

Keep this in mind.

Finished the next work.

Kevin went on to enjoy the holiday.

･･･

On the other hand, Titanic continues to show.

When signing a contract with a theater chain, it usually changes once a week. That is to say, even if the theater chain wants to take the Titanic offline, it will have to wait at least a week.

This is also to prevent the box office of some movies from fermenting through word of mouth, so that the box office on the first day is not good, and the subsequent outbreak occurs.

Generally speaking, if a week is lukewarm at the box office.

Then there is no future potential for this movie.
