After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Remove the cost.

The two film companies have lost [-] million dollars in blood.

This·····

The president of Paramount and the president of Fox are crying to death.

At the same time, he prepared silently in his heart to block James Cameron from Hollywood, so that he would never get any film contracts from them again.

Chapter 254 Strange Trend

Let them lose [-] million US dollars, even a big director like James Cameron will be rejected by major film companies.

He has to prove himself again through low-cost films, and then other film companies will try to increase investment later.

It can be said that after the Titanic.

James Cameron has already lost his title of great director.

····

In the Dawn movie.

Taking advantage of this holiday, Kevin gathered several directors of Chenxi Films to share their experiences as directors.

Being a director is a relatively free profession.

During this holiday, the rest time is not as much as that of ordinary employees.

But people don't really care about it.

After all, when they are not working, they have a lot of time to spend with their families.

Kevin looked at the data of the Titanic sent up, and he was a little stunned.

In his memory, it seems that the Titanic swept the schedule at that time...

How come there are only so many box office on the first day?

After thinking about it carefully in his mind, Kevin found the problem. It turned out that he confused the achievements of the Titanic in the mainland with those of the United States.

As time goes by, some things are not remembered so clearly.

The box office of 470 million on the first day is the achievement of Titanic.

Compared with the US$[-] million investment in the Titanic, people in the industry can tell at a glance that Fox and Paramount, the investment companies behind the Titanic, have lost a lot.

Only Kevin knows the outrageousness of the Titanic.

Compared with the general commercial film release cycle of one month.

Titanic, in its previous life, was screened in the United States for 27 weeks, which would be six to seven months in terms of months.

The reason why theaters have not been released is very simple, and the decline of Titanic is very small.

Even at special times such as Valentine's Day, it is even higher than the premiere, which is really peculiar.

Relying on this steady but stable enough box office, Titanic is about to create a box office miracle.

"Director Kevin, Titanic only had a first-day box office of $500 million?"

Tsui Hark was immediately puzzled.

You must know that Kevin has repeatedly mentioned that he should follow the steps of the Titanic.

He admitted that Titanic was really good.

However, compared with the movies that can create miracles in Kevin's mouth, it seems a bit inaccurate.

Kevin stared blankly ahead, as if looking at the future.

Of course, he was also looking at the future.

Hearing Tsui Hark's doubts, Kevin smiled slightly, without explaining:

"In a month, you will know."

"Listen to me, that's right, Titanic, will be a film that creates a record in film history, and James Cameron is bound to become a god because of this film."

Speaking of this, Kevin is somewhat envious. Although he misremembered the box office on the first day of the Titanic, this does not affect the impending success of the Titanic.

As a not so pure director, Kevin knows that in this state, he will never be able to make a movie that James Cameron made.

Although he was able to become the director with the highest grossing total.

But it is difficult for him to have James Cameron's status in the hearts of movie fans.

He lacks an absolute masterpiece.

Batman and The Dark Knight, although the connotation is enough, but the box office is far from the Titanic.

And The Matrix, in his hands, although the box office is higher.

But it doesn't have that special smell.

However, thinking of MGM, Dawn Movies, and Marvel, plus that unspeakable industry.

Kevin instantly strengthened his confidence.

Now is not the time for him to be willful.

When will these industries become bigger and bigger.

That's when Kevin can do whatever he wants.

At that time, he was able to shoot all kinds of movies regardless of the cost, and realize the real movie he dreamed of.

Several people did not refute.

Kevin's words never miss out.

There must be a reason why he is so optimistic about the Titanic.

After chatting for a while, Kevin let them communicate with each other after giving pointers about their upcoming movie.

Hurry up to Dawson.

Just now, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten a very important thing. Netflix was founded in 1997.

Now 1997 will be over soon.

That said, Netflix may even have been running for a while.

If it's other industries, even Apple, Kevin doesn't really care much.

Still the same sentence, don’t make money beyond your cognition.

But Netflix, as the output destination of the entertainment industry, can add the last important piece of territory to his huge business empire.

This is absolutely impossible for him to give up.

Pushing open the door, Dawson was still dealing with the company's affairs.

Along with the development of the company, Dawson has become more and more busy.

But being busy comes with joy.

The state of mind is quite different when men are empowered.

As the president of Chenxi Films, Dawson is now outside, no matter where he is, he is the object of everyone's fawning.

This feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

The more he understood, the more unwilling Dawson was to give up this position.

Therefore, reflected in the work, the company is my home.

Even at this time when most of the employees are on vacation, Dawson works the normal eight hours a day.

I usually work overtime frequently.

Anyway, Kevin usually comes to the company and can always see Dawson.

"Dawson, there are very important things to do next, and I leave it to you to do."

As soon as he entered Dawson's office, Kevin said with a serious face.

Dawson immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

Dawson readily agreed.

This kind of matter that needs to be brought up with him specially is a big matter and must be taken seriously.

Sitting on the seat opposite the desk, Kevin said with a thoughtful look on his face:

"Dawson, these few days, arrange for someone to go to Los Gatos, California to find a company called Netflix. Their main business is the movie DVD rental business."

"After finding it, at all costs, the acquisition of this company can give the company's executives a certain amount of shares, but they must be tied to the company's development."

"Once you leave, you are not allowed to work in this industry."

Netflix, in the future, will be the only long-form video giant in the United States.

Note that is the only one.

Other video sites have made unremitting blows in front of it.

The status is very similar to that of Disney in Hollywood.

The market value is as high as 600 billion US dollars.

With Marvel, Kevin is on the way to replace Disney's historical status in Hollywood.

If you can get Netflix, the long video giant again.

Kevin has completely formed a closed loop in the entertainment industry.

As for the publishing house, it's easy to say, just buy any one at that time.

It's too simple for the film to feed back the publishing house.

At the same time, Kevin is also prepared in his heart that he must get Netflix.

If you can't get it, destroy it.

Kevin will use various methods to kill Netflix's development and kill it in the cradle.

Now, Kevin only hopes that the current shareholders of Netflix will not act irrationally and reject his goodwill.

Steve Kevin's kindness is not so easy to refuse.

Chapter 255 Abnormally Stable Decline

Having been the boss for so long, the means Kevin should have are not bad at all.

"Yes!"

From Kevin's tone, Dawson understood the importance of this matter.

Immediately agreed.

"After the acquisition, give me a call."

Dawson nodded.

Take this to heart.

Arranged the next work.

Kevin went on to enjoy the holiday.

····

On the other hand, Titanic continues to play.

When signing a contract with a theater chain, it usually changes every week. That is to say, even if the theater chain wants to take the Titanic offline, it will have to wait at least a week.

This is also to prevent the box office of certain movies from being fermented through word of mouth, so that the box office on the first day is not good, and subsequent outbreaks occur.

Generally speaking, if a week is lukewarm at the box office.

Then this movie has no follow-up potential.
