After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Judging from Warner's historical experience.

Unless Steve Kevin gets on the horse again and reshoots Batman with the quality of the previous two films, otherwise, this series can only be shelved for the time being.

If it is shot again, there is a high probability of losing money, and at the same time it will completely destroy the IP.

A senior executive thought of this, raised his head and asked:

"President, can we invite Steve Kevin to come over and continue filming the sequel?"

Robinov said with a serious face:

"Steve Kevin doesn't make sequels, that's a well-known thing in Hollywood, and on top of that, we can't afford the price he's asking for."

"What he wants is the copyright, and unless we fully share the Batman copyright with him, he won't agree to it."

Chapter 227 Superman Reminded by Warner

As soon as these words came out, some executives immediately stood up as if their feet were scalded and said:

"Copyright is absolutely impossible to give him."

"That's right!"

"The copyright of Batman will be rotten in our hands."

"..."

Executives have spoken out.

Compared with the president, these executives are the most deeply rooted in Warner Bros. If the president leaves, they may not leave.

The economic value behind the big IP of Batman has been developed by Steve Kevin.

All realize how huge it is.

Wanting them to give up this interest to Steve Kevin is simply cutting their flesh.

Robinov knew the result.

Looking at the noisy senior executives, rubbing his temples, he said slowly:

"Since this is the case, then the follow-up of Batman can only be shelved for the time being. Everyone, what will the market do next year?"

"We, Warner Bros., now don't have a series of big-selling works."

"In this case, the film revenue is too unstable."

Executives immediately began discussions.

After a while, a clever executive spoke:

"Guys, since Batman's box office is not ideal, why don't we restart Superman."

"Since the dark style of Batman is popular, then Superman must be even more popular!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awakened immediately.

Holding the Big Three of the Justice League.

Among them, Wonder Woman is not mentioned for the time being. In the current society, movies with female protagonists cannot support the box office.

Another giant, Superman.

It has been hidden by them for a long time.

Since Superman 1987 in 4, the movie failed at the box office and had a bad reputation, so far.

Warner has hidden this IP for almost ten years.

If it weren't for Batman's sudden big sales, maybe they wouldn't even think of Superman by now.

In the original history, it was not until 2006 that there was a new work of Superman, Superman Returns.

Then, without accident, he hit the street again.

The next time it appears, it will be 2013's Superman: Man of Steel.

Now, with Batman on sale.

In order to develop a new series of movies, plus Kevin is also making comic movies.

All of a sudden, it reminded them of the big IP in their hands.

superman.

As the most famous superhero in American history.

He is no longer just a superhero in comics, but a cultural symbol.

From his identity as an alien immigrant, he grew up in the United States and became an American.

All of this is like American realism.

After all, the United States is such a country of immigrants.

The meaning of Superman is different.

Because of this, Superman is the most difficult to shoot.

In any main comic universe, Superman represents the word perfect.

All the good qualities of human beings can be found in him, plus his powerful settings.

Whether it is for the screenwriter or the director, it is a huge challenge.

Still, Batman's Dark Knight's special style.

Opened up a whole new idea for Warner.

Will a superman movie with a dark style be loved by the public?

Worth a try.

After thinking about it for a while, Robinov found that it seemed feasible, so he said:

"Then form a superman crew and find a gold medal producer."

"Be sure to make the Superman movie a series. At least, there should be no problems with the first three."

After making a decision.

In the conference room, they immediately began to discuss the specific operation process.

First of all, which gold medal producer should be invited to act as the producer of this big production, and then who is the best director and actor.

How the style continues and so on.

As for Batman The Dark Knight 3, when everyone present saw the word of mouth, they unanimously decided to stop investing in follow-up resources.

Subsequent theaters want to reduce the number of films, let them reduce it.

More importantly, the Superman series.

······

On the other hand, after Kevin got the investigative report on Batman, he understood.

The Batman Dark Knight series seems to be coming to an end here.

With a bad reputation, the audience is destined not to pay for the next work of this movie.

As for the quality of this movie.

Kevin hasn't seen it, so he doesn't comment.

However, the director is indeed capable, and some viewers said that if there were no first two works, it would still be a good film.

Kevin knew that the quality wasn't too bad.

However, the previous two works compared with it are divine works.

Then I'm sorry.

A comparison reveals the problem with this work.

···

While Americans are on vacation, everyone else is resting.

However, as a Hong Kong native, Tsui Hark just quietly waited for Shushan's data every day in the morning movie.

The data of the past half month made him feel elated.

That villain's face became kind again.

The success of this movie has greatly improved his status.

As for men, the pursuit is nothing more than power, status and women.

nothing else.

If he returns to Hong Kong with these qualifications, he will immediately become one of the top directors in the Hong Kong film circle.

Isn't the competition between directors the box office for awards?

Going back with a movie with a box office of [-] million US dollars, which director can make irresponsible remarks in front of him, first see if you are qualified.

Just thinking about it made Tsui Hark very happy.

But right now, he doesn't want to go back.

After trying to mobilize such a huge amount of money to make a movie, it was boring to ask him to go back and make those movies with an investment of several million Hong Kong dollars.

It's like going to the massage shop on the side of the road after tasting the high-end new tea for [-] nights, I'm afraid it will directly cause male dysfunction.

Kevin said that he will give him an explanation after the box office of Shushan is about to come out.

It's been more than half a month, and I don't know when Kevin will come to him. While Tsui Hark was waiting, Dawson's secretary finally came to him.

"Director Tsui Hark, Boss Kevin is looking for you, he is in the office."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Tsui Hark nodded and got up immediately.

He is also looking forward to Kevin's follow-up arrangements.

Anyway, if he can stay in Hollywood to make movies, he will definitely not go back. Not only that, he will also take over his wife and children.

Apart from other things, in terms of making money, the United States is ten times and a hundred times that of Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, he only paid 200 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie.

But in the United States, Shushan received a salary of 300 million US dollars.

This amount satisfies him very much. His desire for money is not strong. What he pursues more is movies.

Making movies, making good movies, is all his purpose.

For this reason, at some point, he would even lower his salary, but he would not refuse to get a little more while making a good movie.

After passing the elevator and shuttling between buildings for a few minutes, he came to Kevin's office.

Raising his hand, Tsui Hark knocked on the office door.

Chapter 228 Shushan began to be shown all over the world

"Enter!"

In the office, Kevin, who had just arrived, was sorting out his follow-up plan for the Xianxia universe, when he heard the knock on the door, he raised his head and said.

Tsui Hark pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing Kevin, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Kevin, an investor, does not have that kind of domineering feeling, but is making friends with him, and he is also generous.

The remuneration will not be suppressed by friendship, on the contrary, it will be a little higher than the market price.

Therefore, Tsui Hark has great respect for Kevin.

"Kevin..."

"Sit first."
