Kevin on the side had a slight joy on his face.
It's not in vain that he spent so much thought on Spider-Man.
It created such a miracle at the box office on the first day. If this record continues, it is very likely to create a box office record of more than [-] million in North America.
Worldwide, it has steadily broken the record of one billion US dollars.
The original version of Spider-Man created a box office of [-] million US dollars worldwide, and Steve Kevin's adapted version of Spider-Man even surpassed this record.
Kevin is not sure about the specific box office location.
But he dares to say that this will be the highest-grossing film among all his films so far, and at the same time, it will also be the second film in the film market to break the billion-dollar box office record.
And the director who created the first billion-dollar movie at the global box office was Steven Spielberg.
That movie, called Jurassic Park.
Kevin was a little regretful for not being able to be No.1, but with this movie, his status in Hollywood will be elevated again.
Of course, inflating Kevin will definitely not inflate.
Because this year, 1997, the real monsters are coming.
Titanic has already started the prelude to publicity. After several years of filming, the filming has finally been completed, and it is still in post-production.
And it will raise the upper limit of the movie box office to $20 billion in one fell swoop.
After that, many of the films that can surpass it are due to the advancement of the times, which has brought about an increase in the upper limit of the film market.
It can almost be said that this will be an undefeated box office myth.
Even Kevin has to admire James Cameron, but if Kevin is asked to be such a director, Kevin will definitely not do it.
James Cameron makes one movie, Kevin can make five or six movies, and Kevin’s five or six movies can beat the Titanic in terms of making money. Apart from this title, Kevin is really not envious .
Chapter 238 Arrangements for follow-up work
For a director like James Cameron, the most suitable thing is to just be a director.
And Kevin and Spielberg are qualified businessman directors, and the essence of a businessman is still ahead of a director.
Seeing the two live creatures fighting in front of him, Kevin signaled them to be quiet.
The two glanced at each other, knowing that Kevin had something to say, they stopped fighting immediately.
Seeing that everything was quiet, Kevin said:
"Since Spider-Man has a high probability of success so far, then Iron Man and Ghost Rider have to make preparations early."
"Yes."
It is about the future of the two of them, so they naturally attach great importance to it.
As soon as Kevin's words came out, the two immediately responded.
Mit licked his face and said:
"Kevin, how much is the investment for these two films?"
"Ghost Rider $2000 million, Iron Man $[-] million."
Mitt and Zach Schneider looked at each other, only to realize that they had underestimated Kevin's determination.
Mitte sneered and said:
"Kevin, how about reducing it?"
Seeing Mit's cowardly look, Kevin couldn't get angry, and asked directly:
"Why, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Mitte flatly denies it.
"That's impossible. I'm just afraid that if I lose money, the loss will be too great."
Zach Schneider on the side also chimed in.
"How about reducing it?"
At present, the size of Chenxi Film Company is only a few hundred million U.S. dollars, and the cash on the account comes from the money earned by Shushan, which is only two to three hundred million U.S. dollars.
Excluding taxes, Kevin is tantamount to using the money earned by Shushan as a cost and directly investing it in them.
While being moved by Kevin's trust, they were also worried that they would not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility.
This is [-] million US dollars, which is not a small number anywhere.
If it is replaced by food, hundreds of millions of Americans can have enough food for a day. Only in this way can we better understand the concept of [-] million US dollars.
Kevin looked around for a while, then smiled and said:
"I believe in your abilities. As long as you follow my philosophy and make a good commercial film, there will be no problems."
"Don't play the Wenqing style. You have to pursue some kind of art in this kind of pure commercial film."
"What you have to do now is to make commercial films to make money. As for art films, you can think about it after you are 50 years old."
This is Kevin's idea. The biggest advantage of the profession of director is its long career life.
If the physical condition is good, 78 ten can still be a director.
But at the age of thirty or so, shooting commercial films is to lay the foundation for myself in advance, and when I get older, I can naturally shoot whatever I want.
Here, we still take Director Kai as an example. When Director Kai was young, a movie directly made him a god.
After that, although most of his films were between loss and capital preservation, he never lacked investment. This is when he was young, and he laid a great foundation.
"Kevin is right!"
"Then shoot!"
Kevin's words are all here, and it also aroused the fighting spirit of the two.
Mitt agreed, and Zack Schneider followed suit.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Kevin said:
"Okay, let's rest for a while, Iron Man and Ghost Rider. I plan to put them in the summer vacation next year. There is still plenty of time. You should do research on the projects you are responsible for in advance."
"Also, put in more effort and go to Marvel to communicate with Fitch and the old man."
During the filming of Spider-Man, Stan Lee, as a supporting role, stayed on the filming scene for a while, and got to know them well.
Kevin Fitch, who has been to the scene many times, is also familiar.
"Then the next thing, Kevin, you can be busy. Schneider and I will take a break and start working on the new movie."
"Okay, after the script is finished, discuss it with me in detail and talk about your shooting plan."
After ordering, Kevin waved his hand and let them leave.
Then he picked up the wired phone in the office and asked someone to call Brother Russell over.
Brother Russell, it has been more than half a year since he fell in love with him.
Among them, there are not many works of them, only one.
That is, the TV series version of Pirates of the Caribbean, the first season twelve, tells the story of how Captain Jack Sparrow grew into a legendary pirate.
It contains the history of the Black Pearl and the background of Jack Sparrow's story.
At the same time as the TV series came out, Chenxi Films also contacted the publishing house to write a more detailed novel for Captain Jack Sparrow.
The story begins with the birth of Jack Sparrow.
That's right, movies, TV, and novels are familiar IP production routines, but the film influence of Pirates of the Caribbean is already big enough.
TV dramas and novels are all supplements to the original plot.
Without these supplements, Pirates of the Caribbean will always be lacking in the content of more than one novel in the movie alone.
With the addition of TV series and novels, the story background of Pirates of the Caribbean is more complete.
The meaning for Chenxi movie is that the subsequent sequels are easier to shoot.
At present, Pirates of the Caribbean has only released two movies and one TV series.
Among them, the TV series focuses on the adventures of Jack Sparrow when he was young. Of course, the appearance of various beauties is indispensable, as well as Jack Sparrow and their various large-scale action scenes.
Movies, as global content, appear healthier.
The story focuses on Jack Sparrow's treasure-hunting adventures after middle age.
The two are not related to each other, but they complement each other's deficiencies.
The novel, on the other hand, shows readers a world of legendary pirates with more space and details.
Trying to expand more IP from Pirates of the Caribbean.
For example, the future Harry Potter, followed by the creation of Fantastic Beasts.
Pirates of the Caribbean can also dig out the experience of other legendary pirates, which are the hidden wealth in IP.
In this era, Kevin can say without exaggeration that no one knows IP better than him.
About ten minutes later, the Russo brothers, who were researching the second part of the Pirates of the Caribbean TV series in the company, rushed to Kevin's office.
Yes, mention it here.
The TV series of Pirates of the Caribbean has been renewed before it is finished.
The Pirates of the Caribbean TV series, with its high investment, movie-quality graphics, and large-scale action scenes, was naturally renewed.
In the United States, TV stations are divided into public stations, cable stations, and pay stations.
Among them, public stations rely on advertising fees to survive. For mainland China, all TV stations are public stations.
The toll desk and the cable desk partially overlap.
The coverage of cable stations is far inferior to that of public stations, so if they want to survive, they must rely on payment.
Chapter 239 Tobey Maguire's Worries
Therefore, under the competition of public stations, they found another way and created a special way to survive by relying on large-scale TV dramas.
There is no way for public broadcasters to screen viewers, so the scale will naturally not be large.
But paid TV stations are optional, especially for minors who want to pay but can't.
For pay TV stations, the ratings are actually how many paying users there are.
It was previously agreed that if there are 100 million viewers watching, it will be settled according to the normal TV series.
Subsequent every 100 million, an increase of a certain proportion of growth.
The Pirates of the Caribbean series has achieved box office results watched by 600 million people at the same time.
Of course, this is the overall score, an average value.
For this reason, HBO TV station paid Chenxi Movie a high price of 500 million US dollars for an episode. After removing the cost, it can be regarded as a net income of more than 2000 million US dollars for Chenxi Movie.
The two brothers also received a large bonus.
The recent days have been very nourishing, I am very happy, and I am happy every day.
"Director Kevin."
As soon as they entered, the two respectfully called out Kevin's name and occupation.
As for the title of Kevin's boss, because Kevin doesn't like it very much, let them stop calling it.
So now, the name of him in the company is unified as Director Kevin.
Kevin adjusted his expression, and whispered softly:
"sit."
After the two were seated, Kevin talked about the business.
"Have you seen Spider-Man?"
"I saw it yesterday."
The Russo brothers quickly nodded in response, and at the same time rejoiced in their hearts that they took advantage of the time to show Spider-Man at night during the premiere yesterday.
