MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 189

Everyone felt that Green Lantern had succeeded.

Their DC Universe project is also about to succeed.

Following in the footsteps of Steve Kevin, their Warners will also rise.

No, not just rising.

With the capital giant Time Warner as the background support, they are much stronger than Steve Kevin's various conditions.

Just when everyone was happy, Robinov couldn't laugh anymore.

Although the box office on the first day was very beautiful, it was actually piled up by relying on the super high volume of films. The attendance rate of Green Lantern was extremely low, which was extremely low to an abnormal level.

This means that the cost of the theater chain will increase significantly. In order to save costs, the method adopted by the theater chain in this case is to compress the film arrangement of Green Lantern.

In other words, the box office drop of Green Lantern in the next few days will be very exaggerated.

At the same time, even worse is the reputation of the film.

In the word-of-mouth survey, 80% of the moviegoers felt that the movie was very boring, far inferior to the superhero movie produced by Chenxi Film Company.

Of the remaining 20 percent, 15 percent thought the movie was ordinary.

You can watch it, but the audience will not recommend it to relatives and friends.

Less than 5 percent of people gave it a positive review.

Chapter 276

Compared with the general reputation of popular commercial films, it is really bad.

Looking at the other executives who were happy, Robinoff couldn't help pouring cold water:

"However, the reputation and attendance of Green Lantern are extremely poor, everyone, what should we do next?"

After pouring cold water, Robinov couldn't help rubbing his head.

Counting the previous Superman, he has screwed up several movies in a row, and is about to lose all the profits he made while working with Steve Kevin.

He already felt that he was only one step away from being removed by Time Warner from the position of president of Warner Bros.

Hearing his words, the originally happy executives fell silent.

The president's words are all old people in this industry, and everyone understands what it means.

In other words, Green Lantern is only a superficial appearance now, and the next box office results are likely to plummet.

They were overjoyed.

But even if Green Lantern fails, what does it have to do with them?

As second-in-command, third-in-command, or department head, they don't have much responsibility.

It really failed, and it was only Robinov who wanted to get out.

In the face of Robinov's question, the people present suddenly pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Looking at the executives present, Robinov couldn't help but get angry.

The project is done together by everyone, and when it comes time to take the blame, it becomes his own?

The key is that he is the president, and he has nowhere to throw the blame.

It can't be the second-in-command in charge of this project.

This kind of blockbuster with an investment of 150 million US dollars, who is qualified to be responsible for this kind of project except him.

Thinking crazy in his mind, Robinov finally came up with a way to throw the blame.

Look at the executives who are still pretending to be deaf.

Robinov said suddenly:

"If the box office trend is not good in a few days, I think there must be a problem with the acting of the starring Tom Cruise. What do you think?"

"exactly!"

"I feel that Tom Cruise's acting skills have fallen sharply this time. Looking at his paralyzed face, he has no acting skills at all."

"Yes, if Green Lantern loses money, he will bear the greatest responsibility."

"..."

Many executives tacitly gave the biggest pot to the starring Green Lantern.

Although Liang Tang has always been considered by Hollywood to have no acting skills.

But for commercial films, his acting skills are actually sufficient.

Of course, at this special time, his acting skills are also an excellent target.

In fact, in theory, the biggest blame should be the director.

But who made the director less famous than Tom Cruise.

And Tom Cruise was paid $25 million plus a 5 percent share of the global box office.

The movie failed, and he, an important person, is not to blame, but who is to blame.

After making this decision, Warner's internal disputes subsided. Of course, this is what they are waiting for Green Lantern's next data.

If Green Lantern really has a big drop, Tom Cruise and the director will definitely take the blame.

the other side.

Kevin came to Hasbro Toys with a bodyguard.

After showing his identity to the front desk, someone immediately took him to the VIP lounge.

Of course, the meeting with the president of Hasbro also had an appointment in advance.

Stayed in the VIP room for less than ten minutes.

Hasbro's president, Alan Hasenhalder, rushed over.

"I am so sorry to keep you waiting."

Allen said apologetically and politely.

"It's alright, it's already very soon, please take a seat."

Kevin said politely.

Allen sat down and thought about the purpose of Steve Kevin's coming here.

Before this, they were not completely without cooperation.

Pirates of the Caribbean is made by Hasbro.

But he and Steve Kevin had never met before.

Instead, I met Dawson, the president of Chenxi Films.

Suddenly news came yesterday that Steve Kevin was coming to visit, and he didn't know what was going on.

After sitting down, Kevin saw Alan's expression and knew he was thinking.

And Kevin also knows that as long as he gets the man in front of him, the copyright of Transformers and the special forces will be in his hands.

After all, Hasbro is a family business, and the company's president has always been a member of the Hasenhalder family.

In other words, the man in front of him has absolute control over Hasbro.

Looking at Alan, Kevin joked with a smile:

"President Emma, ​​I'm very puzzled about my intentions."

"No, no, it's my honor for Director Kevin to come."

Hasbro, compared to Steve Kevin's industry today, is close to the size of Dawn Movies.

The two are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

Facing Steve Kevin, Allen was still under psychological pressure, but he also lamented the youth of Steve Kevin.

This age, this status, this is the legend.

Kevin said sternly:

"I'm not beating around the bush anymore. You know I'm the director. The purpose of my visit is for the film rights of Transformers and the special forces."

"I hope you can sell me the copyright of these two IPs, and I will put them on the big screen."

Facing Kevin's request, Allen was obviously thinking.

He is weighing the pros and cons of this.

The current Steve Kevin, is a recognized strongman when it comes to movies.

A geek who can direct all kinds of movies.

For the operation of business, it is even more unexpected.

From a small director, to now, he has become one of Hollywood's leading directors, and he has also become the boss of MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood studios.

There's also a Marvel Studios.

He even came up with the genius plan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it all shows how powerful he is.

The Transformers project was actually taken by him, does it also have this potential?

With this question in mind, Allen asked directly:

"I don't know director Kevin, are you going to make Transformers into a movie universe or not?"

"Cinema Universe!"

Kevin said without shyness, and added:

"It's a movie universe that only I can play."

"As far as I know, other studios currently planning to build a cinematic universe have failed."

Kevin's words are named Warner Bros.

Today's Warner Bros., in the industry can be described as miserable and miserable.

After the two Batman movies directed by Steve Kevin.

First, the sequel failed miserably. Although the investment did not lose much, it ruined Batman's reputation in a mess.

Then came Superman's fiasco, losing hundreds of millions of dollars in blood.

And then there's the current Green Lantern.

However, Green Lantern has just been released, the results have not come out yet, and no one knows the results.

Whether it is a loss or a gain, time will tell.

Chapter 277 Burying the Pit and Finding the Rock Johnson

Alan thought again.

As his own industry, of course he thinks more.

Selling the rights to Transformers and Special Forces to Steve Kevin had to think carefully about what Hasbro meant.

If the copyright of Transformers is sold to Steve Kevin, then the Transformers will be a big hit at the box office, which will definitely boost the sales of toys.

Help Hasbro sell toys around the world.

The benefits of this are huge.

But, so the initiative is in Kevin's hands.

With the influence of the movie, the profits created may even be more than they make selling toys.

To put it bluntly, as soon as the copyright is sold, Kevin makes a lot of money, and they make a little money.

No way, industrial companies and the entertainment industry are like this.

Sell, he wants to sell.
