After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"Everyone, pack up, go to the Vienna Hotel to party, and go on vacation!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

But that has nothing to do with Kevin.

If Kevin went to this kind of party, it would be tantamount to sweeping away everyone's interest.

As a sensible person, Kevin would not do such a disappointing thing.

Spider-Man, as an all-green-screen movie, the production cost is naturally not low, and the construction period also takes a lot of time.

Kevin is not in a hurry, anyway, it is only the beginning of May, and two more months to make special effects, just in time for the prime time of summer vacation.

Now, he is going to rest for a few days before going to work on the later work.

Helen and sisters, he hasn't touched them for three months, I have to say, Kevin can't wait now.

······

Warner Bros.

Since the quarrel with Kevin, Warner has paid close attention to all of Kevin's movements.

Naturally, Marvel's movements cannot be hidden from them.

When Kevin started filming Spider-Man, Warner was even more jealous.

No way, the benefits brought by Batman and the Dark Knight are too great.

Both are comic works, both are classic IPs, and both are works of Steve Kevin.

Batman and the Dark Knight can make a lot of money, and so can Spiderman, which is the source of their jealousy.

Today, the president of DC Comics was called to Warner.

Although they are all presidents, the status of Warner Bros. in Time Warner is much higher than that of DC.

Compared with the film market, the comic market is far from the same in both influence and market value.

Of course, this refers to in this day and age.

After all, this is an era when IP operations are not yet mature enough. People have not yet realized the true power of IP. DC, as an IP content producer, has not yet reached the time for them to really exert their strength.

conference room.

Robinov handed Marvel's latest comic, Shushan World, to Jon Berg, and said:

"Jon, take a look at this comic, do you have any ideas?"

Jon Berg took the comic and flipped through it.

The plot is very simple, that is, in modern society, there are hidden races different from human beings.

Among them, there are practitioners who aim to become immortals.

There are cannibals who aim to become demons, and there are monsters that alienate themselves.

And these things are superpowers formed by human beings entering the inner world, that is, the Shushan world, and then undergoing changes.

And the layout in Shushan is impressively borrowed from the movie Shushan.

In other words, this comic has caught the popularity of the movie Shushan. The key point is that only Marvel can catch it.

After all, the copyright of Shushan is in the hands of Chenxi Films, and Chenxi and Marvel are both Kevin's industries.

Jon Berg finished reading the comics, then raised his head and said:

"Marvel, take advantage of the popularity of the movie."

Robinov said with a serious face:

"Yes, I was wondering if we could also take advantage of the popularity of Xianxia."

This is Robinov's sudden thought after observing for so long.

Can't beat Kevin, can you get a wave of traffic from Kevin?

To put it simply, it is whether they can make money by following Kevin.

This is a normal business behavior, and even Kevin can't say anything.

For Kevin's vision, after so many cooperations, Robinov has great trust in him.

The themes of Kevin's movies can be described as unconstrained, what other people make fails, what he makes succeeds.

From the perspective of Warner Bros., which lacks movie-themed IP, it is embarrassing to follow suit as a big film company, but if it can make money, it doesn't matter.

Leaving aside other themes, Warner Bros., which also owns a top comic book company in the industry, first set its sights on Shushan World's comics.

Isn't it just writing about Chinese culture, simple.

If there is money, there is no shortage of talents, and talents in this field can always be found.

Harry Potter, as well as Shu Shan, showed Kevin's filmmaking skills in front of Warner.

First write or draw the corresponding works, and under the condition of ensuring the quality, publicize and forcibly create IP.

Then film it.

Driving an entire industry chain, the money earned is much better than a single movie.

Robinov, who has seen through this point, thinks of a new development route in the current state of Warner's poor profitability, which is to follow Steve Kevin's operation.

Make money together.

Great Steve Kevin makes a lot of money, they make a little money.

And the purpose of calling the president of DC was to discuss how to draw a fairy manga with the taste of Shushan.

Jon Berg hesitated and said:

"What does the president mean, follow suit?"

Robinov nodded.

"That's right, just follow suit."

DC was acquired by Warner Bros. by Time Warner, so in name, DC is actually a subsidiary of Warner Bros.

Facing Robinov's request, he couldn't refuse.

"Yes, but it will take time."

"Give you three months, is it feasible to make a level Xianxia manga?"

Robinov pushed in further.

Robinov said so, and Jon Berg naturally couldn't refuse.

"can."

Robinov nodded, and then discussed the details with him.

The cost of producing a comic is not high, but no one knows whether it will become popular or not.

But at least, Shushan World, after taking advantage of the popularity of the movie Shushan, the overall sales are not bad, except that the sales of the core characters in the Marvel series are not as good.

Compared with some second-tier characters, the popularity is even higher, so it is possible that their enthusiasm for playing this fairy hero may also become popular, which is worth a try.

······

On the other side, Kevin is exchanging feelings with Helen and Emma.

Chapter 234 Peak Marketing Strategy

Rolled by the waves.

Kevin's villa is especially in line with the breath of spring at this moment.

That's the smell called estrus.

After a day of tossing, Kevin released all the pressure and entered the rhythm of relaxation.

The weather in May is not too hot, which is very suitable for people to travel.

Under the influence of Mount Shu, tens of thousands of middle-class Americans traveled to Mount Emei in mainland China.

Some of them have already been there in December.

However, Mount Emei in winter does not show its full demeanor to tourists.

It was not until spring that it gradually recovered.

Therefore, many of these tourists, taking advantage of this time, chose to travel to the mainland again.

However, Mount Emei received more than tourists from the United States. The movie Shushan was sold all over the world.

The impact is that tourists from all over the world go to Mount Emei in the mainland, which brings a huge flow of people to the local area, and the indirect economic benefits are very huge.

After learning about this, it is said that the big leader in charge of this aspect gave instructions. In the future, if there are big Hollywood directors coming to the mainland to shoot scenes, they will give them great support.

At the same time, in order to thank Steve Kevin, although he didn't give a clear explanation, it is rumored behind the scenes that as long as Steve Kevin's movies enter the mainland, they will all enjoy support and receive the same treatment as mainland movies. Restricted by the schedule, the tax rate is the same as that of mainland movies.

For now, perhaps this is of little benefit to Steve Kevin.

But once the film market in mainland China grows, this condition alone can allow Kevin to earn an additional 20.00% more income than other Hollywood films for each film.

This is a very impressive number, and the benefit of not being affected by the schedule is even greater.

Of course, Kevin doesn't know this. There is still a long time before the rise of the mainland. He is just planning for the future.

After that disaster came, the whole world fell into collapse. Only the mainland, with its excellent system, showed amazing dispatching ability in the face of the disaster, thus getting rid of the impact of the disaster as quickly as possible.

Since then, the mainland market will be coveted by the world.

With the mainland market at that time, Kevin was as stable as Mount Tai.

···

In the villa, enjoy the fancy service of Sister Helen Emma, ​​and relax wholeheartedly after three days.

Kevin took all the film and went to Industrial Light and Magic for post-processing.

As a commercial blockbuster, special effects are indispensable.

It can be said that almost every movie of Kevin uses the current peak special effects, not afraid of being expensive, but afraid of not being able to produce the effect.

Among Spider-Man, there are more special effects involved, such as the image of Ghost Rider, the cool flame hell motorcycle, and Iron Man's flying steel armor.

Spider-Man hovering over the city, and the special effects of the villain Sandman.

For two months, if I don't work overtime, I'm afraid it will be very stressful.

But this point is easy to say, as long as the money is sufficient, no one will refuse to work overtime.

After returning to the company, having a brief look at the progress of Harry Potter, and cooperating with Dawson to take some promotional photos of Harry Potter, Kevin plunged into Industrial Light and Magic and started working day and night again.

···

Meanwhile, after three months of publicity.

Casting activities for the Harry Potter films have also reached their final stages.

Among the tens of thousands of participants, thousands of choices were made, and two hundred children were finally selected.

Chenxi Movies will reimburse these two hundred families for their round-trip air tickets and travel expenses.

Of course, for the convenience of shooting, these [-] families don't care about the specific country, but at least, their mother tongue must be English.

This restricts, in fact, the selection of the whole world, and in the end, the selection of actors is mainly between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Other countries just cooperated and participated in a grand event.

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

Dawson was in the midst of a live broadcast on HBO.

This live broadcast was specially designed by HBO TV station for Chenxi Films, with the purpose of helping Chenxi Film Company to spread the influence of Harry Potter related matters.

Of course, as a price, they don't have to pay Chenxi Company for all the ratings they get, and Chenxi Company doesn't have to pay them.

The two sides, regarding the matter of Harry Potter's promotion, each takes what it needs.

Two hundred families entered one by one, and the second round of selection began.

The goal is to select the three cutest little actors from the two hundred children. To this end, HBO also opened SMS voting, allowing all audiences to participate in it.
