MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 188

After leaving the cinema, Kevin went straight to the company.

･･･

The meeting room of the morning light film company.

Kevin, Dawson, and several key figures of the company, that is, all contracted directors of Chenxi Film Company.

As for other company executives, Kevin is usually not in charge of management.

Dawson communicated everything, and Kevin just released the task.

After everyone was seated, Kevin looked at Dawson and said:

"Tell me about the current situation of Ghost Rider and Iron Man."

This is Kevin's first meeting after returning from Japan.

Dawson hurriedly said:

"Ghost Rider is still being released worldwide. At present, the overseas market has achieved a result of 200 million US dollars. According to the trend, it is expected to achieve a box office performance of more than 300 million US dollars."

Kevin nodded, still very satisfied with this result.

In this way, the global box office has more than 500 million US dollars, and the profit can be over 200 million US dollars, and the follow-up copyright can also make a lot of money.

The most important thing is that the collaboration with Spider-Man has increased the popularity of each other, and the influence of the Marvel brand has expanded again.

Dawson flipped through the information and continued to introduce:

"Iron Man, which has achieved a North American box office of 350 million US dollars, is still discussing with the rest of the world about the release. If you don't think it, it will be released around the world slowly."

"By the way, according to your arrangement, Iron Man has also entered the mainland market through normal channels."

"Well, well done, Dawson, all the copyright matters are left to you, you go ahead and I will communicate with them about the next task."

Dawson nodded, got up and left.

Kevin began to call one by one.

"Zach Snyder, how's the 300 Warriors going?"

"The script has been completed, can you take a look?"

As he said that, Schneider took out a plan.

Kevin took over the plan and briefly flipped through it. After confirming that it was not much different from what he remembered, he nodded directly.

"Okay, just follow this project book, Snyder, how about you being the producer yourself?"

As Kevin's key training target, Kevin feels that Zack Snyder now has this ability. In fact, the biggest use of a producer is to control the director not to spend money indiscriminately in Kevin's view.

Zack Snyder has this self-control, other things, Dawn Movies can help him do it, adding a producer is undoubtedly just letting Snyder take more money.

They are all friends, and Kevin can't possibly break their hearts with money.

If you make money yourself, you will naturally make your friends rich.

"it is good!"

Zach Snyder was just stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Everyone has a desire to progress.

Becoming a producer is undoubtedly a stage of his career growth.

The two Russo brothers on the side were silent, and they were simply envious.

They are in the morning light film company, and they have made three consecutive TV series.

Also worked as an associate director for Mitt and Schneider, who had a lot of experience and wanted to make movies.

The status of TV drama directors and film directors in the United States can be described as one heaven and one earth.

Hollywood is a global industry with astonishing influence.

The TV drama market is only limited to the United States, and the gap is too large.

The ultimate goal of every director is to make movies so that their movies can be seen by people all over the world.

And if you can be both a director and a producer, your rights in the crew will undoubtedly be higher.

This is an unimaginable treatment for them now.

But being able to be called into this office by Steve Kevin, they also realized that Kevin valued them.

Mitt, who was beside him, was suddenly envious.

Hastily asked:

"Kevin, is there a new project that is more suitable for me?"

"Have."

"But you have to wait a few days, and I will deal with your affairs tomorrow."

Chapter 275 Green Lantern's Bad Reputation

Mitt stepped aside.

Kevin looked at Tsui Hark again.

"Director Tsui Hark, how are you doing with the script adapted from the comic Shushan World?"

"It's ready, and we can start shooting in the second half of the year."

Tsui Hark also took out the project book he made according to Hollywood's standard process and handed it over to Kevin.

After briefly flipping through it and confirming that the plan was fine, Kevin nodded and said:

"Okay, you can start planning the crew in the second half of this year. I hope the movie will be released during next year's Christmas schedule."

"Yes!"

Tsui Hark agreed, and this time Kevin reserved a lot of time for him.

About a year and a half to shoot a movie, there is more than enough time, Tsui Hark is ready to polish this movie well, so that he can become famous in one fell swoop and get a foothold in Hollywood.

After arranging Zack Snyder's work, and Tsui Hark's work.

Kevin looked at the Russo brothers again and thought.

The tempering of the TV series and the experience of the assistant director made Kevin feel that their ability should be enough to shoot a movie.

But what kind of movie to shoot for them, Kevin really didn't have a good arrangement in his mind.

Going directly to the sequel of Spider-Man, firstly, the gains brought by this wave of superheroes have not been fully digested, and secondly, Kevin is also afraid that they will mess up the IP of Spider-Man.

It's better to find them a movie to practice.

But what movie to prepare, Kevin didn't have any ideas for a while. After thinking about it again and again, Kevin decided to directly ask them what they thought.

"I'm going to let you guys make a sequel to Spider-Man, but even if Spider-Man is released, it will take a year or two. Do you want to make a low-budget movie first to practice your skills?"

Even though they said that, they all understood what Kevin meant.

This is to let them practice their skills before taking on the sequel to Spider-Man.

Even so, it made the two fall into ecstasy.

Although it needs to prove itself through a small production film first, it will be able to take on the sequel film directed by Steve Kevin soon.

Basically, it can be said that they are already on the road to success.

"it is good!"

The two brothers said in unison.

Kevin also nodded.

"You make me a plan with an investment of less than ten million dollars."

"As long as the plan is feasible, Chenxi Film will directly invest in full."

The brothers were even happier.

Although it is a small production, in fact, 10 million US dollars is not that small. If you don't hire big-name actors and do too many special effects, it is actually more than enough.

But the two of them are brothers, and they really don't have any ideas now.

"Go to the company's script library to find out if there is a suitable script for you to shoot."

In Hollywood, the big companies actually have the least shortage of scripts.

Countless screenwriters will continue to submit their scripts to major film companies, and the quality and quantity of these scripts are determined according to the size of the film company.

With the scale of Chenxi Film Company, the script should not be too much.

These scripts can range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars.

Millions of dollars, filling up an entire script library, this is the background of the film company.

Even Kevin doesn't know how many scripts he has received, and whether there are gold mines waiting for others to dig, he can only rely on a few directors of their company to find them.

These are also the background of Chenxi Film Company. With the development of time, a good script suddenly pops up in it.

This is something no one can tell.

"Okay, then we'll go after a while."

The younger brother of the Russell brothers took the initiative to say.

Kevin nodded.

So far, except for Mitt, all the directors of the morning movie have been arranged by Kevin to do things.

Schedule work.

Kevin went straight home to rest.

Tomorrow he plans to go to the Hasbro toy company and discuss with them about selling the movie rights of Transformers and Special Forces.

Although this process may be difficult.

But Kevin really doesn't want to see these two big IPs being missed like this.

He knows what kind of miracle the Transformers and special forces series can create in the future.

･･･

Time flickered to noon the next day.

Inside Warner Bros.

A group of executives and Robinoff waited in the conference room for first-day box office and other data.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very depressing.

Their happy mood was overshadowed by the reaction from the audience yesterday.

In internal reviews, this is a standard commercial blockbuster, and it seems to be no different from Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Iron Man.

So at first, they were very optimistic about Green Lantern's performance.

They don't even need to make money, as long as Green Lantern can pay for itself and make a good start for the DC Universe, that's enough.

With the size of Warner Bros., as long as there is a box office of 300 million US dollars, it can almost make a return.

Of course, don't count on peripheral income.

Peripheral income is often proportional to the profit of the movie.

For a movie with an overall loss, the sales around it will not be very satisfactory.

There was a knock on the door.

A blond beauty sends Green Lantern's first-day box office data to Robinoff.

Some executives couldn't wait to say:

"President, how was the box office on the first day?"

Robinov's originally solemn face also showed a slight smile, and said directly:

"Green Lantern box office $42.68 million on its first day!"

As soon as this data came out, the executives present were all excited.
