After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"Cage!"

"Brother Kevin!"

Seeing Kevin coming, Cage was obviously very happy and walked out enthusiastically.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he asked about Cage's recent situation. Kevin went straight to the point and asked about Marvel's recent situation.

"How are the sales of various peripherals and comics recently? What is the current market share?"

"The current market share, under the influence of the movie, has reached 50.00%. Five, if it goes higher, it can't rise anymore."

After the market share reaches a limit, it is very difficult to increase it by a little bit.

It is precisely because of the popularity of Marvel movies that Marvel Comics has sprung up, catching up with DC Comics in market share.

It is no exaggeration to say that Marvel Entertainment has become the comic company with the largest scale and the highest market share in the comic industry.

"It's enough to maintain this market share, what about peripheral sales?"

"Peripheral sales can guarantee a profit of more than [-] million U.S. dollars in one year."

"The overall profit, after one year, can guarantee a net profit of more than [-] million U.S. dollars."

Cage said proudly.

Kevin nodded.

At present, in terms of profitability, Chenxi has the highest income, and its main revenue comes from movie box office and copyright income.

The second is Marvel Entertainment.

The number one market share in comics is no joke.

Although the comics market as a whole is actually not very prosperous, but the number one in the market is the number one in the market after all, and the profit after one year is actually quite a lot.

Especially under the influence of the movie, the sales of some peripherals have also been driven away.

"Okay, Cage, you can arrange with Dawson these two days, and move the whole Marvel there. You have had enough working in this small office building."

Kevin smiled.

Chapter 332 New Movie Project?

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for these two days."

Cage smiled too.

He has also visited the new Kevin building, and he has to say that it is much better than here.

Never work in this crowded office again.

When he went there, he had his own big office.

Think happy.

"Right, one more thing."

"You arrange people to go to Hong Kong, buy a batch of Hong Kong comics, translate them into English and publish them."

"The focus is on the adult market, as well as high-quality Hong Kong comics for all ages."

"Yes!"

Hong Kong comics have to be said, from Kevin's point of view, they are still very high-quality, especially for the adult market.

Kevin also wants to see what kind of results these comics can achieve in the US market.

Anyway, the overall price of these comics is not high, and it doesn't cost much.

It is worthwhile to be able to help Marvel and conduct an in-depth test of the market.

Arranged the work of Marvel.

Kevin is temporarily free.

Among the current companies, the latest projects will not be released until Christmas.

He has also been playing for several months.

You can start working on new projects.

In the following time, he accompanied Anne Hathaway to play around, while searching for some inspirations or projects he was interested in through the Internet and the media. Wang Jing was sent by him to the Transformers crew.

As for the Pokémon project, after his understanding, he judged that it was not the time yet.

He will have to wait at least two years for the special effects technology, and after further progress, he will try to make it again.

Otherwise, the film produced would be costly and not flexible enough.

It's a complete failure of the movie.

A Pokémon, the technology contained in it is actually higher than that of The Matrix, which he did not expect.

Although it was a bit of a mistake, as long as the copyright of the Pokémon movie falls into his hands, it doesn't matter.

Make it later, forget it later.

Right now he really doesn't have a suitable project on hand.

Marvel, it is still a few years before the reunion.

Kevin has expanded the Avengers team too much. In order to perfect the plot of Avengers One, more movies must be passed to supplement the world view and expand the influence of the Marvel Universe.

An early release will only greatly affect the revenue of the entire Marvel universe.

When Kevin was on vacation, Warner, who was the first to obtain Kevin's promise to make a joint venture film, was the first to fail.

Since falling into the big pit of the DC universe, Warner has been losing money year after year, which has long been a big heart disease for Warner.

Green Lantern, in particular, nearly lost more than a year of Warner Bros. profits.

In addition to the various losses before, Warner has been almost a year, and has not dared to invest in a movie with a production cost of more than 2000 million US dollars.

It's really frightening.

Originally, they had been looking forward to Kevin's new project, who knew that Kevin had been playing for three months and hadn't given up yet.

Now, Warner had to come to test Kevin's tone.

Kevin, who was taking Anne Hathaway and basking in the sun on the yacht offshore, then answered the private phone that rang suddenly.

"Hi, I'm Steve Kevin."

"Kevin, I'm Robinoff."

"what happened?"

Kevin lay lazily on the deck chair, enjoying the cool sea breeze, and after taking a sip of pure coconut milk, he replied lightly.

Some people have asked what is the purpose of making money, and a common answer is to enjoy life.

Yes, what Kevin is doing now is enjoying life.

Naturally, he was not the only one on his yacht.

Jim Carrey and Downey are both in his boat.

These two big guys didn't have any suitable movies to shoot recently. After receiving Kevin's invitation, each of them was also invited to go overseas.

"It's like this. We have a project recently. I wonder if you are interested in taking over the filming, Kevin?"

"Or you can lead the project."

Warner was embarrassed to urge Kevin directly, so he changed his method to see if Kevin was interested in starting a movie right away.

Warner's words aroused Kevin's interest.

"What project?"

"It's a novel, and we are going to move this novel to the big screen."

"The name of the novel is The Perfect Storm."

"Kevin, are you interested?"

The perfect storm?

As far as Kevin can remember, the film did well.

With a box office of [-] million US dollars in North America, this is already a big movie above the passing line.

However, this kind of movie that uses human power to fight against natural disasters has never been Kevin's favorite.

It's not that it's not good-looking, but that Kevin doesn't like making this kind of movie.

The quality of this kind of movie depends more on the acting skills of the actors.

The requirements for directors are not so high.

Although to some extent, it is quite in line with Kevin's style.

But that's all.

If you don't want to shoot, you don't want to shoot.

"I've read this novel, no, I'm not interested."

Kevin, who was not interested, directly refused.

Robinov on the other end of the phone was not surprised.

He just used this project to find an excuse to talk to Kevin. He couldn't come up and directly ask Kevin when his new project will be launched. It would seem that Warner Bros. is too anxious.

Anyway, it is one of the best big companies in Hollywood, they don't want to lose face.

Speaking of which, the Perfect Storm project, although their company is very optimistic about it.

But to be honest, because of repeated losses.

This kind of movie that requires an investment of tens of millions, their company is now more cautious.

This also led to this project, which has been entangled for a year, and the project has not yet been approved, which is a real headache.

If Steve Kevin's new movie starts shooting at the same time, they don't have to worry about losing money so much. After all, even if the investment in Kevin's movie is [-] to [-]%, the profit margin is exaggerated.

Enough to offset the losses of at least two movies.

This can support them to continue investing in The Perfect Storm, and one other movie.

"So, Kevin, do you have any ideas for a new project?"

"Not yet, maybe an action movie will be made..."

Kevin said in an uncertain tone.

"Action movie? Kevin, do you know Jet Li?"

Jet Li?

Who doesn't know.

Although he also made mistakes in the future, Kevin always felt that there seemed to be a heavy fog behind him, as if there were many unknown things happening behind him.

But in fact, these have nothing to do with Kevin, and he can't interfere with those things.

For Kevin, at least in this era, there are two Chinese names that cannot be avoided.

Jack Lee, Jackie Chan.

and Jet Li.

If you talk about the status of Jet Li and Jackie Chan in Hollywood, then Jackie Chan is much inferior to Jet Li.

This is not to be seen in a mess of other influences.

For Hollywood stars, the most intuitive status comparison is salary.

And Jet Li's overall film salary, plus various income sharing, undoubtedly earned more than Jackie Chan.

Therefore, in Hollywood, Jet Li's status is undoubtedly higher than that of Jackie Chan. Of course, this is in the future. Currently, the movie that brought Jet Li to the peak in Hollywood has not yet been released. At this time, Jet Li is not as good as Jackie Chan at all.
