MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 187

Kevin is half-smiling, these little Japanese are quite greedy, and 50% of the investment in a movie is actually not enough.

Kevin said flatly:

"Three starts."

Iwata Satoshi's expression changed slightly, obviously, very happy.

This was keenly seen by Kevin.

"We hope that in the three films, we can get 50% of the investment, and we can don't need any peripherals and copyright."

This condition, if it is for the average director, is simply too much.

Chapter 273 Green Lantern Released

For them, pulling investment is a very troublesome thing.

No director can guarantee his success all the time, except Steve Kevin.

Now, anyone who is a director knows how amazing Steve Kevin is.

Facing Satoshi Iwata's greedy demands, Kevin shook his head and said:

"Impossible, a movie, tens of millions of dollars in revenue is already a lot."

"And outside of movies, your games will benefit from my movies, and the U.S. market will open doors for you."

What Kevin said was very confident, and Satoshi Iwata couldn't refute it. After all, Kevin used his resume to prove that what he said was true.

Seeing Kevin's attitude, Iwata Satoshi also gave up his extravagance.

He was just a test just now, since Steve Kevin doesn't accept it, then forget it.

After their careful research yesterday, they have discovered that if Kevin does make a Pokémon movie, it will bring them too many benefits.

This will help their business expand to the world.

Nintendo's main business is still limited to a few countries, while Hollywood is for the whole world.

This adaptation is obviously more beneficial to Nintendo.

Of course, Kevin is not at a loss.

After buying out the movie copyright, he will be able to use the image of Pokémon in the movie in his amusement park at that time, disguisedly sharing the popularity of the IP of Pokémon.

Overall, it's a win-win.

Kevin doesn't like to be in the business of making money by cheating others. With his reputation, he can cheat Nintendo, but it doesn't make sense.

In the business circle, a good reputation for a win-win situation is very important.

This will win him more good opportunities. Everyone knows that he never cheats on his collaborators, and who doesn't feel comfortable working with him.

Of course, Kevin will not give others the opportunity to pit him, which Kevin still thinks very clearly.

"Okay, then a movie, 50% of the investment quota, does not involve benefits other than box office share."

Iwata Satoshi directly agreed to the conditions proposed by Kevin.

They had already figured out the stakes in this.

The reason why these words are said is just to seek greater interests. Since Steve Kevin refused, then just accept it as soon as possible.

"Okay, in a few days, the lawyer team of Chenxi Film Company will come to sign the contract. I have a few more days to play in Japan."

"Hi!"

"Hopefully Director Kevin's trip to Japan will not be disappointed."

"I will leave first here, and I will report the results of the negotiation to the company."

Iwata Satoru bowed again to Kevin before turning around and leaving.

At this point in the negotiation, Kevin's heart has settled down.

So far, Kevin has four super IPs of Pokémon, Marvel, Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean in his hands. As long as there are no accidents in the future, these IPs alone are enough to make Dawn Films The market value has been pushed to the point of hundreds of billions.

However, it is impossible for Chenxi Films to go public.

Kevin will only absorb funds in disguised form through MGM, but he will never let Chenxi Films go public, so that he can firmly grasp the control of Chenxi Films.

At the same time, Kevin will not let go of the follow-up One Piece, Naruto, Shinigami, etc., as well as some other big IPs that have the opportunity to start.

The development of the Xianxia universe will also come step by step.

In the future, Kevin, who holds countless IPs in his hands, is really a flying dragon riding his face and reducing dimensionality.

In Hollywood, who can beat him.

Thinking about it, he felt that the future was boundless.

It's all done.

Kevin chose to have a good time in Tokyo.

Of course, what is indispensable is the company of Ryoko Hirosue.

After enjoying the service unique to Japanese women for half a month, Kevin left Japan satisfied.

Of course, everything was done, and he also took the number of Hirosue Ryoko's office for follow-up contact.

Time flies to July.

Various blockbusters are crowded into the prime time of this summer.

The first release is the film Peerless Catastrophe, which is distributed by Touchstone Brand Films, a company owned by Bowei Films.

The company, so far, has mainly released some offbeat, experimental films.

To put it simply, it is to win the prize. I don’t know if the movie will explode.

Of course, Peerless Catastrophe is not an alternative movie.

This is the first attempt by Touchstone Brands to transform into a normal film distribution company.

Peerless catastrophe, directed by director Michael Bay, is the director of the future Transformers, known in the industry as Exploding Bay.

His movies are characterized by a lot of explosiveness and thrilling scenes, which can stimulate a man's adrenaline and make people's blood flow.

Actors are also well known to Kevin, Bruce Power, and the future Batman actor known as Big Ben's Ben Affleck.

These elements are added together.

Unsurprisingly, the sci-fi disaster film Peerless Tribulation achieved a box office close to $36 million on its first day.

As a commercial film, there is no doubt that it is qualified.

Then, on the tenth of July.

The much-talked-about movie, Green Lantern, is out.

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

Los Angeles Studios.

Green Lantern fans, some middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, bought tickets to watch the movie in order to support their feelings.

At the same time, some boys and girls in their twenties also stepped into the cinema and began to watch Green Lantern.

As a superhero movie, the theoretical audience is actually young people.

However, with the emotional bonus, in fact, it can also attract a lot of older fans, which is the power of IP.

Warner Bros. executives even collectively appeared at the premiere, and together with the actors and directors, they appreciated this huge investment of 150 million US dollars.

You know, the Titanic cost $200 million to make.

The Green Lantern is called the small Titanic.

This kind of investment speaks volumes about the high hopes they have for the film.

In the midst of this much anticipation, Green Lantern began to play.

The footage of the film is focused on the Earth.

Pilot Hal Jordan is chosen by the Ring of Lights in an accident to become Green Lantern, while Parallax, a fear-eating monster, descends on Earth.

In short, it sums up the plot well.

This is a typical superhero movie, and it seems to be no different from Iron Man.

The executives watched the movie and didn't feel anything wrong at all. All the plots were standard commercial rhythms.

With the addition of Tom Cruise, they are all looking forward to today's box office explosion.

Chapter 274

Along with the screening of the film, at the beginning, they were all smiling and looking forward to the enthusiastic response from the audience.

But the further back they went, the more unpleasant they felt.

In their capacity, they have attended the premiere of countless movies.

For a commercial production like Green Lantern, the audience's response was very enthusiastic, and I don't know why everyone is so silent today.

"It's so boring. Green Lantern is far from Spider-Man."

"I feel the same way. I'm here to see Green Lantern protect the entire universe, not to see Green Lantern fight monsters on Earth."

"Let's go, let's go, tell your classmates tomorrow, there's no need to watch it, it doesn't look good at all."

"..."

Various criticisms came from the side.

The directors, starring actors in the front row, as well as Warners executives, all have their own thoughts.

However, at present, the word-of-mouth of the premiere alone cannot explain anything. After the box office data on the first day comes out, the follow-up overall word-of-mouth survey data comes out.

Only then will they be able to know whether Green Lantern has succeeded in the end.

However, the audience's reaction undoubtedly cast a shadow over their premiere.

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

In another movie theater in Los Angeles, Kevin left the movie theater silently after watching the movie.

In order to know whether Green Lantern would succeed after changing the protagonist, Kevin chose to go to the cinema to watch the movie in person.

It turned out that this film starring Tom Cruise still did not break away from the image of the Green Lantern in Kevin's memory.

Many netizens in the previous life have clearly analyzed Green Lantern.

Why the film failed is also very clear.

First of all, there is a problem with the positioning of the film.

It is also a superhero movie, and even Kevin has to admit that DC's superheroes have higher potential than Marvel's superheroes.

Marvel can make a popcorn movie, but Green Lantern can't.

It should be a masterpiece like Batman The Dark Knight.

Not just a popcorn movie.

The American public had high expectations for Green Lantern from the very beginning, and this was one of the main reasons why Green Lantern failed.

At the same time, the plot of the movie is also a big failure on earth.

As a cosmic policeman, Green Lantern fights monsters on Earth, and the gap between them is too great.

It has absolutely no character of its own.

The battle scenes are also empty and boring, and the audience watching is drowsy.

The characterization is also rubbish.

I have to say that the biggest failure of this film, the director has to bear the whole blame.

After watching the whole movie, Kevin felt that it was a waste, and the director completely wasted the production cost of 500 million US dollars.
