After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Page 112

Quite a bit of the taste of the top stream in the era of traffic in later generations.

He has attracted an unknown number of male and female fans who are crazy about him, and his net worth has skyrocketed.

Except for each film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, which only increases by 500 million US dollars, other movie invitations have a starting price of 2000 million US dollars, plus a minimum of 10% of the global box office share.

In Hollywood at this time, it can be said that the scenery is infinite.

Standing on the stage, Johnny Depp waved his hand,

"Depp, we love you!"

"Ah~~~"

The fans in the audience shouted one after another, almost turning the premiere into a concert.

As the president of MGM, Leiter even beamed with joy.

The more popular Johnny Depp is, the more it shows how many fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean series there are.

With the support of these fans, the box office of Pirates of the Caribbean will most likely be very good.

This also means that MGM's situation this year will be better, and the financial report will not be too ugly.

The only problem is that Steve Kevin only gave them the right to invest in Pirates of the Caribbean, not their share of the copyright.

And Steve Kevin's new movie, The Matrix, didn't even give them the right to invest.

This is really a pity.

Leiter couldn't help but think of the proposal again, let Steve Kevin completely acquire MGM and obtain a controlling stake.

In this case, under his leadership, MGM will definitely be able to regain a new life.

After reassuring the fans, Johnny Depp began to talk about the scene.

As the producer, Kevin, after speaking a few words, pulled Lei Te away from the scene temporarily.

There are other executives on the field, so theoretically there will be no problems.

He has other things for Rhett.

The two came to a high-end restaurant with Chinese cuisine.

Leiter sat down generously.

Having known Kevin for so long, many people now know that Kevin has the habit of talking about things at the dinner table.

He never invited people to dinner alone.

After Kevin ordered a few good dishes, he looked at Leiter, took out a movie proposal from his bag and handed it to him.

"Look at this movie, is MGM interested in participating in the investment?"

Leiter calmly took the proposal.

He knew that there must be something wrong with this plan, otherwise, Kevin would not have shown him the plan at the dinner table.

Opening the proposal, the name of the movie and the word Shushan came into his eyes.

"Shushan? Does the name have any meaning?"

Rhett asked inexplicably.

"This is the holy mountain where a kind of existence called immortal cultivators gather in Eastern culture."

"It's like Mount Olympus, where the Greek gods lived, and it represents a certain symbolic meaning."

Rhett nodded half-understood, and continued to read.

Kevin calmly waited for him to watch slowly while eating the appetizer.

It has to be said that these high-end Chinese dishes, one by one, let’s not talk about the taste, but the presentation alone is the top of the top.

Of course, the price is far more than the average western food.

If you are not very rich, a meal can bankrupt your family.

With just these few dishes, Kevin will have to eat $[-] in one meal.

This is an amount that the average American family would not be able to save in ten years.

It is said that the chef of this restaurant is the successor of the imperial chef.

Of course, I don’t know if it’s really Kevin, but the taste is really good.

Kevin was feasting, but Rhett frowned.

There is nothing wrong with the script of Shushan Biography, but it is mentioned that the director is a Hong Kong director who has never filmed in Hollywood. This is one of them.

The second point is that the entire crew will go to mainland China to shoot scenes.

Judging from the current situation, wouldn't it be a problem to go to the mainland at this time?

Chapter 170 Vic Brings His Family to Watch Movies

With this in mind, Leiter directly raised the question:

"Kevin, I have two problems. If they can be solved, I am willing to let MGM invest 2000 million US dollars."

As the president of MGM, he still has a lot of authority in daily life, bigger than Kevin, the major shareholder.

Of course, with rights comes responsibilities.

If the investment loses money, he is also responsible.

"First, this Hong Kong director has never directed this investment masterpiece. Are you sure he is capable enough to direct this movie?"

"Second, judging from the current situation between China and the United States, are you sure the mainland will agree to go to the mainland to make a movie?"

Kevin smiled and explained one by one:

"Shushan, I will arrange for my assistant Ellie to be the producer. If there are specific problems, she will communicate with me. At the same time, I will arrange an experienced assistant director to assist Shushan's director Tsui Hark."

"Don't worry about that."

"I can confirm that he is a director full of spirituality."

A director's ability is divided into technical aspects, that is, the use of various Hollywood lenses and equipment.

The other is the so-called spirituality.

There is no way to say this kind of thing, but everyone can feel it.

For example, when a cutting-edge director shoots his shots, there are often a lot of flaws, but the audience can find that his shot language is very good.

The shots he took can always touch the hearts of the audience.

This kind of thing can be called talent or spirituality.

And Tsui Hark is undoubtedly a talented director. Here, Kevin wants to bring up the old story again.

A certain Kai Dao is obviously talented.

He just lacks one, good producer.

This is the difference between the mainland film industry and Hollywood film industry.

The mainland is a director-centered system, and the entire crew revolves around the director, and the producer is a tool man.

Hollywood, on the other hand, is a producer-centered system. In a crew, the producer has the most power.

This has led to the fact that in the mainland, once a director goes astray, no one can correct him.

But in Hollywood, as long as it is not the top directors, at other times, the producer can even directly change the director.

"As for the second point, there is no need to worry. I have news that in a few days, the policy will undergo a major change, and Sino-US relations will enter a friendly period."

"If the policy changes, for the sake of the friendship between the two sides, these are not problems."

In addition to promoting Chinese culture and making a little money for himself, Kevin is also giving back to the motherland.

He is confident and brings a wave of travel.

At that time, how much money the mainland can make by relying on this trend will depend on their abilities.

Lei Te nodded, he can accept the explanation given by Kevin.

For this reason, Kevin's undefeated golden stature has not yet been shattered.

Since it was the project he recommended, MGM was willing to take the risk and try it out.

"Well, MGM is willing to invest $2000 million, but where will the remaining $2000 million be raised?"

Kevin rubbed his temples and came up with an idea.

"You say, how about creating a fund?"

Listening to Kevin's words, Leiter suddenly smiled wryly.

"We, MGM, have such a fund, but because MGM hasn't produced high-profit films for a long time, there is not much money in the film fund."

"But because of you, the situation has been much better this year."

"If it's a movie that you're officially involved with, whether it's a producer or a director, I'm sure it's going to be easy to raise $2000 million."

"However, if Chenxi Films and MGM are the only investors, it won't be very attractive."

Leiter's analysis is very thorough.

Kevin suddenly fell into thinking.

After a moment, look up:

"Well, you help me out, and I'll see if any investors take the initiative to come to the door."

Lei Te nodded, accepting the matter.

After dealing with this matter, Kevin left here directly, and went back to continue processing the special effects shots of The Matrix.

......

On the other hand, the premiere was going on normally.

As a sequel to a blockbuster movie, the emphasis on promotion has changed.

You don't need to go to great lengths to build word of mouth, you just need to let Americans know that Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is released.

500 million US dollars turned into various posters and overwhelming advertisements.

And the effect is also obvious.

There are quite a few families who plan to buy tickets to see it immediately after the premiere.

The premiere of Tornado, which premiered at the same time as Pirates of the Caribbean 2, seemed very deserted.

Looking at the sparse media, Robinov couldn't help but feel melancholy.

Although he knew it couldn't compare to Pirates of the Caribbean 2, he never expected the premiere to be so deserted.

This scene instantly shattered his confidence.

But things have come to this, and there is nothing to do.

We can only hope that the word-of-mouth outbreak of the tornado will break through the suppression of Pirates of the Caribbean.

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

As a die-hard fan of Steve Kevin, film critic Vic relies on bragging about any movie with Steve Kevin and attacking other movies to live very well in the circle of film critics.

Although his behavior was abused by other film critics in newspapers.

And also received a title of disgrace to film critics.

But Vic never tires of it.

Although he doesn't understand the truth that black traffic is also traffic, the real money that the newspaper office paid him is the most real.

If there is money to be made, others will scold them.

Occasionally, he also published newspapers, posted some articles, and started a scolding battle with others.

I have to say that the audience is really happy to see this kind of scolding battle.

It's human nature to watch the fun.

The price given by the newspaper for this kind of scolding article is really not low.
