This is actually not a loss.
Otherwise, Kevin alone may not be able to develop the copyright market for these movies until he dies.
This is tantamount to exchanging money for time. For Kevin, the value is very high. After all, he only has the prophet memory of more than 20 years.
And now it is 2000, that is to say, he is only about 22 years old as a prophet.
It can be said that these 20 years have been the growth period of his career.
What kind of growth can be achieved in these 20 years, the future will basically be finalized.
Kevin also knows this well. Except for the Prophet, there is a huge gap between him and those favored ones, whether it is ability or the resources behind him.
Taking advantage of one's own advantages and developing at the fastest speed is the way for Kevin to go.
After the three of them calmed down, Kevin smiled, looked around, and said:
"Would you like to join the big family of Marvel Universe?"
Kevin, who was thinking about it thoroughly, had nothing to give up.
Just come up and sacrifice the big IP of the Marvel universe.
Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean can always be developed slowly within 20 years.
Only Marvel, 20 years is not enough.
Of course, the infinite universe behind it is even bigger.
Now that Paramount, Fox, and Warner Times have entered the game, they will be able to add their movie libraries to the infinite universe, thereby expanding the copyright library of the infinite universe.
It can be said that Kevin's current actions are one after another, just waiting for them to fall into the trap.
···
The three of them looked at each other at the same time, and 1 thoughts passed through their minds.
They never expected that Kevin was willing to let them intervene even with Marvel.
This····
With Marvel, who wants Pirates of the Caribbean?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe project has been discovered by the industry since three films were released.
All the film companies are amazed by Steve Kevin's brain circuit, how can he come up with such an amazing idea.
They have also studied it and want to reproduce the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But after careful investigation, they found that all this is almost impossible to achieve.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a long-standing mass base.
Some of these superheroes have grown up with generations.
At the same time, the Marvel Universe itself has the basis for building a movie universe. These superheroes often appear together in comics.
After knowing this, people discovered that, apart from Dawn Films, only one film company has the ability to build a movie universe.
That's right, it's Warner Bros.
The DC universe is simply a replica of the natural Marvel universe.
It's a pity that the series of operations of Warner Bros. has really made people laugh. They have lost hundreds of millions of dollars after losing money again and again.
At the same time, other film companies have also realized that the film universe does not seem to be so simple to construct.
The thoughts that arose in my heart were also dispelled.
The simple understanding is that Kevin's Marvel Cinematic Universe was about to set off the popularity of the Cinematic Universe, but the tragic experience of Warner Bros. made people give up this idea.
Among the three, Robinov was naturally the most shocked.
He never expected that Kevin would be willing to develop the copyright of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is of great significance to Warner Bros.
Nobody wants to dig into Marvel more than Warner Bros.
They have the conditions for a perfect replica, but they have been unable to find a way.
Except for the Batman Dark Knight two-part series directed by Kevin, the other ones lost more than the other.
Now that he has the opportunity to participate in Marvel's film production, even if he doesn't make money, Robinov is 1 willing.
He wants to reproduce these things in the DC universe after learning about Marvel's shooting.
If it wasn't for losing money all the time, to be honest, who would want to cooperate with Bowei for nothing.
With the size of Time Warner, it is not a problem to eat the DC Universe. The problem is that they have no ability to develop it.
The first step in development is for the movie to make money.
Movies have been losing money, and the influence they bring is nothing.
Only when the box office is a hit can this IP leave a deep impression on people.
As for the DC universe, except for Batman, the others simply shoot one and destroy the other. Now the DC that made it dare not collaborate, and only dare to shoot superhero movies one by one.
For example, in The Flash, it only involves the villains in The Flash, and has nothing to do with Superman, Batman and the like.
"Kevin, what do you want to get Warner Bros. to participate in the production of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?"
Robinov said with a serious face.
I was very nervous.
"That's right, Kevin, you are even willing to release the copyright to Marvel, which makes us a little unbelievable. Everyone knows what Marvel means to Chenxi movie, and to you."
The other two also said one after another.
Facing the inquiries from the three, Kevin said calmly:
"Just the conditions just now, that's fine."
"Of course, the copyright has nothing to do with you, and what you can enjoy is only a small part of the peripheral share and box office profits."
"Here, I would like to say that each company only has one chance. If it loses at the box office, it will automatically lose the right to follow up the film."
Kevin's condition is not only not harsh, but also very loose.
Judging from the current popularity of the Marvel Universe, as long as the director is not ill, losses are almost impossible.
In the previous life, Marvel, the reason why so few films lost money, in fact, the biggest reason was the inflation of the actors' salaries.
Leaving aside other things, Robert Downey Jr.’s pay, from the first Iron Man movie, he only got me $50, to Avengers III, where he got $[-] million.
How much pressure this brings to the movie's profitability is naturally understood.
In Marvel, such actors abound.
In the later stage, for a reunion, the appearance fee of the actors alone almost sucked up the production fee, which forced Marvel to invest more.
In the later stage, it is even more prepared to overthrow all the old actors and replace them with new ones.
To be honest, anyone who thinks clearly knows that the film company will never change roles under the premise that the film can make money.
The reason why the film company changed roles was actually only one, and they couldn't afford the pay.
And the actors said that they don't want to act, in fact, it's all for the sake of saving face. Who doesn't know, it's all because of the salary.
Chapter 372 Vision
A film worth [-] million US dollars, if you say you don’t want to make it, you won’t make it.
What else is enough to act? Isn’t this saying to deceive fans? Anyone with a normal mind thinks about it casually and should understand that the film company cannot afford the salary, and the actors are not willing to lower the salary.
If it's just a $2000 million paycheck, Robert Downey Jr. will always be worth the price as long as he's in the Marvel Universe.
It's a pity that Robert Downey Jr. is not satisfied, and Marvel also feels that he is a burden.
Not only him, a series of well-known main characters in Marvel, such as Thor, Captain America, etc., have inflated their salaries to the point of surpassing superstars.
In the end, Marvel really had no choice but to make a comeback directly, replace all the old characters directly, and start a new journey for Marvel.
Of course, everyone knows the follow-up content.
Since then, Marvel has been obsessed, and has never looked back on the path of political correctness.
The results obtained are getting worse and worse.
Knowing why the Marvel Universe is getting worse and worse, Kevin made his own efforts very early on.
Among them, finding ways to limit the growth rate of salary has become a very important thing.
Robert Downey Jr., the original Iron Man invited him to star in, and gave him a salary of 50 yuan, and this opportunity was still his friend, Terrence Howard, who played the role of War Machine in the film.
Although this actor is not really a big name, he was actually the biggest name among Iron Man at the time.
Relying on this relationship, Robert Downey Jr. got this opportunity.
Therefore, it may not be necessary to say that Marvel values him so much, but it is thanks to the help of his friend.
In the absence of the kindness of knowing you, Robert Downey Jr. has no reason to lower his value at all.
Of course, this is all original history.
Now, Kevin fished Downey out of the quagmire as soon as the opening scene, completely stayed away from drugs, and at the same time gave him a film salary higher than his worth, showing some kindness to him.
Plus the bromance between brothers.
And the increase agreed in advance, so that the increase in salary can be controlled to the greatest extent.
As long as the remuneration of the main characters in the reunion is not too outrageous, then the vitality of the Marvel Universe in Kevin's hands will be much stronger than before.
"Since director Kevin is so sincere, then on behalf of Fox, I will reach a cooperation with Director Kevin in advance!"
"On behalf of Paramount, I have also agreed to cooperate with the Marvel Universe and Dawn Films."
Robinov on the side, seeing the statements of these two people, quickly interjected:
"We, Warner Bros., are also willing to reach an in-depth cooperation with Chenxi Films on the Marvel Universe.",
Kevin has already surrendered to this point, and they have no reason not to agree.
After confirming the partnership, the next step is the highlight.
"Director Kevin, regarding Marvel's copyright, how should we cooperate next?"
"Should we hand over a single superhero to us, or develop a new superhero series?"
Robinov asked first.
At present, there are not many ways to cooperate with Marvel, or they will be responsible for one or two of the superhero series that have already been released.
Either continue to choose other characters and join the Marvel Universe.
Like Thor in the comics.
The comics came out earlier than the movies, and the plan of the Avengers has already begun to emerge.
For these film companies, the steps of the Marvel Universe film plan are actually very clear.
With Spider-Man as the beginning of Marvel, and Iron Man as the core of the Avengers, each hero is moved to the big screen step by step.
At the same time, the heroes make cameos with each other, and at the same time outline a special agency like S.H.I.E.L.D. Finally, through a big event, a disaster that a single superhero cannot solve.
Force many superheroes to gather together to resist the disaster together.
Everyone can understand this kind of plan.
DC has actually taken this path before, but apart from Batman, none of the other superhero movies have succeeded, which is simply embarrassing.
The first movie of every superhero is not suitable for interspersed with other content. This movie needs to create a successful superhero image.
Generally speaking, the second or even the third part will be interspersed with the content of other superheroes.
In the first one, at most, it can be hinted through a few shots.
But none of the films were successful, so the so-called cinematic universe is naturally a bunch of nonsense.
"Develop new superheroes."
"Currently preparing to shoot, but not yet appeared, there are superheroes such as Hulk, Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Captain America, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel..."
"A film company can take over two superhero projects. When filming, it needs to communicate with other people to contribute to the Marvel Universe. There cannot be conflicts, and the plot must cooperate."
