After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Only then did they meet Kevin together.

Of course, what they did was exactly the same as Robinov, betraying other allies to gain Kevin's favor.

With the current size of Chenxi Film Company, even if both films are involved, it will only scratch the surface of Kevin. Instead of this, it is better to let them sell a wave of teammates to gain Kevin's favor.

"Thank you very much for your information. Next, my Xiaoxiao Entertainment Company is going to go public. I am willing to give you a 5.00% original stock for the capital behind it."

"Sold to you for $5000 million."

"Current Hogwarts theme park profitability..."

Kevin repeated what he said to Robinov, and at the same time made a promise to co-produce a movie next year, and then bid farewell to the two.

Looking out the window, Kevin was also waiting for the newspaper's Hogwarts investment conditions, which would cause a lot of hype.

Chapter 314 The Battle of the Hogwarts Theme Park Global Franchise Plan

·······

Time Warner, high-level meeting.

"Everyone, this is the news about the Hogwarts theme park released by Steve Kevin in the media through the morning movie."

"It has the specific situation of its profitability, cost input and so on."

"Currently, what Steve Kevin means is that for a price of one billion, let us pay [-] million US dollars to buy [-]% of the original shares of Lixiao Entertainment."

"Afterwards, he will also contact two large companies, one to sell 5.00% of the original shares."

"Our three companies are in charge of the listing of Lixiao Entertainment, please tell us your opinions?"

This meeting was held by Professor Clark, the vice president of Time Warner.

While serving as the vice president of Time Warner, he is also the dean of Harvard Law School and the Royal Professor of Law. Regardless of his status, he is a very high-ranking person.

Status, fame, money.

This kind of business worth hundreds of millions of dollars is also worthy of him holding such a meeting to decide whether to reach this cooperation.

"I think we can agree to Steve Kevin's opinion. To be honest, with an investment of [-] million US dollars, the cost can be recovered in two years, and the rest is pure profit. It can be expected that it will rely on this high-profit project. "

"Once Dawn Entertainment goes public and starts with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, it is very likely to be the next Disney."

Disney's current total market capitalization in the stock market is worth around US$1000 billion.

Comparing Dawn Entertainment with Disney is undoubtedly a great compliment to this project.

"I also think we should agree. Even if we don't agree, we won't earn the hundreds of millions of dollars, and some people will earn it."

"As long as someone wants to make this money, then Lixiao Entertainment will always be able to go public."

The executive's words are very realistic.

Steve Kevin didn't have to choose them.

This money is given away for free. If you don’t want it, you can earn it the same as other capital.

It can only be said that it is not profitable, and it is not profitable.

Several executives spoke one after another, and the overall opinion is to accept the kindness of Steve Kevin.

In this regard, under the unanimous opinion of many executives, a consensus idea of ​​​​cooperating with Steve Kevin was reached.

Immediately afterwards, Time Warner sent someone to Chenxi Company to discuss the details with Kevin.

Of course, the general direction is that Kevin sells [-]% of Lixiao Entertainment's original shares to Time Warner at a valuation of one billion US dollars.

Time Warner, on the other hand, helped Dawn Entertainment to go public, and at the same time dealt with some messy things, and helped Kevin promote the Hogwarts theme park project to the world.

At the same time, 21st Century Fox, the media conglomerate behind [-]th Century Fox, made the same choice as Time Warner.

Viacom, the media giant behind Paramount, made the same choice.

No one will give away the money earned for nothing.

Even if it is to make contacts and connections for Steve Kevin, it is worth it compared with the money.

Of course, this is compared with the public's perception of the Hogwarts theme park.

Steve Kevin's news about Hogwarts theme park's investment promotion was uploaded in newspapers, and most people just watched it.

But everyone in the industry knows that Steve Kevin is just a matter of attracting investment, and he is building momentum for the listing of Lixiao Entertainment.

Of course, the process is definitely not that simple.

There are three major stock exchanges in the United States. The first one is Nasdaq.

In the future, mainland companies will be listed on Nasdaq, the most important stock market in the United States.

Its requirements are also the lowest, of course, relative to companies that can go public.

Then came the New York Stock Exchange, and the American Stock Exchange.

Kevin chose the Nasdaq stock market.

However, if you want to go public, at least the company must have been established for one year and meet the basic revenue requirements and taxation goals.

This is decided, Lixiao Entertainment will take at least half a year.

But for Kevin, this time is just right.

He also needs half a year to praise Lixiao Entertainment in various ways, so that when it goes public in the future, it can be broken directly.

One lift to the highest point.

Kevin's psychological lower limit is $50 billion.

Then within three years, let the market value reach its peak, and directly exceed the total market value of 200 billion or even [-] billion US dollars in one fell swoop.

For this reason, Kevin will make the Hogwarts project less monotonous within the next six months.

At least let the audience know that in the future, Marvel, Pirates of the Caribbean and other big IPs belonging to Steve Kevin will be included in the Hogwarts theme park in one fell swoop.

Only in this way can the market's confidence in the Hogwarts global chain theme park project be increased.

···

While Kevin was busy doing things here at dawn.

The box office of Fast and Furious fell steadily all the way, and within half a month, it achieved a box office record of [-] million US dollars.

Subsequently, there was only a box office of more than 1000 million US dollars left.

According to this situation, after the release, the total North American box office is estimated to be around [-] million U.S. dollars.

Compared with Harry Potter, there is no doubt that it is far inferior.

But in terms of cost, in fact, Fast and Furious has achieved a box office score of more than 6 million U.S. dollars.

This is the advantage of urban-themed movies. Through the placement of advertisements, the real income of these movies is much more than that of pure advertisements.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the influence of IP is much smaller.

Pirates of the Caribbean, for example, can be made into amusement park projects, and others.

And the Fast and the Furious can't do anything.

In other words, Fast and Furious earns quick money, and its long-term potential is actually quite average.

Of course, even so, if it is released, it is the existence that others want to steal. ,

In this era of hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, this is still a very scary figure.

····

At the same time, through various channels, the business attraction of Hogwarts theme park has spread all over the world.

The first to respond was Britain.

No way, Harry Potter's largest audience, in addition to the American audience, is the British audience.

The best-selling novel written by a British author in the United States has also successfully won the love of British audiences.

Several young Harry Potter actors have also become well-known child stars in the UK. It is no exaggeration to say that this role alone is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.

Murdoch, who is a traditional tycoon, also arranged for someone to come to the door, and began to discuss matters with Kevin about joining the Hogwarts theme park in England.

Chapter 315 Development of the Hogwarts Theme Park Project

Murdoch is the big boss of Fox Media Group. He holds 30.00% of the shares of Fox Media Group. He is a well-deserved tycoon.

After seeing the cooperation news, he was keenly aware of the profits.

Of course, he is not satisfied with just 5.00% of the shares, but such things as original shares are not so easy to buy.

Being able to get 5.00% is already a concession made by Kevin in order to satisfy the greedy appetite of capital.

If he wanted more, Steve Kevin could have chosen someone else.

The current situation is that the status of these capitals can be replaced by other capitals.

And this project, only Steve Kevin has.

Even Steve Kevin, who generously put the project in front of everyone, no one else can imitate.

The reason is simple, Hogwarts theme park, its core is the Harry Potter movie.

A big fantasy IP created with movies as the core.

Of course, the reason why the Hogwarts theme park can be so successful is the director Steve Kevin.

In the movie, he created this fantasy magical world view, which is very harmonious with reality.

It was as if there really was a magical world, hidden in the other world of England.

The IP is good and the movie sells well, which drives Harry Potter to become popular all over the world.

Of course, the most important places in the world are actually the main countries with English as their mother tongue, that is, the former British allies, colonies and so on.

These places, the popularity of Harry Potter, can be described as crazy.

After all kinds of marketing, the date of Harry Potter's release has become Hogwarts Day.

On that day, people prepare to dress up as magicians, witches and so on in the movie to spend the festival.

This trend already has some meaning of Star Wars culture.

However, Star Wars actually has a greater impact on the United States, while Harry Potter has a wider range of influence.

This is the difference between the two.

Murdoch was born in Australia, but in fact his main core business is in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Because of this, he knew just how popular Harry Potter was in the UK by simply doing a survey.

Although the size of the United Kingdom is not as large as that of the United States, building three Hogwarts theme parks, even if it is half a share with Kevin, is a super value deal with a three-year payback.

Annual profits are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even Murdoch, who is worth tens of billions, cannot ignore this kind of business that is sure to make money.

And that's just the UK.

His business scope includes many countries, and he can win the contract rights of the Hogwarts theme park in these countries.

In this way, the benefits are expanded again.

You know, even the Fox Group, which is a big business, has only three billion yuan in liquidity.

And such an industry that can stably bring a large amount of cash flow to the group, even Murdoch cannot underestimate it.

After all, being worth tens of billions of dollars is two different things from working capital.

···

Dawn Entertainment Company.

Murdoch's new wife, Wendi Deng, brought her secretary to Kevin's office.

Looking at the legendary woman in front of him, Kevin also showed a curious look in his eyes.

In June of this year, that is, a month ago, she and Murdoch held their wedding on the yacht.

At the same time, she relied on her ability to let Murk find her a place in the Fox Group.
