After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Page 261

In the bar, I spent a chic night. Of course, I was serious and chic. I played with my friends in the bar, drank and had a good meal together.

In this regard, to be honest, Mitt has many more friends than Kevin.

Kevin and his former classmates are no longer at the same level. Many of his classmates, that is, the crew members who accompanied him in the Saw movie, are still employees of Chenxi Films.

But their relationship is more of a boss-employee relationship.

And Mitt was able to get along with them as friends.

Occasionally, Kevin would feel a little bit of envy in his heart. Of course, he couldn't be envious just because of this.

Compared with this, he likes his current status even more.

···

After standing at the door of the company and blowing the wind for half an hour, Mitt finally came to Kevin's office after the hangover smell dissipated.

As soon as he came in, he saw Kevin busy with something.

Mitt didn't bother, just waited for Kevin to finish.

This wait is more than an hour.

Mit couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, and came to Kevin's side to watch the movements of Kevin's hands.

In this regard, Kevin did not stop.

Infinite Universe cannot register copyright, and he has no idea whether he can make a good film.

It's useless to spread it out, and it's over for everyone.

Of course, on the other hand, he has enough trust in Mitt, and he believes that Mitt will not spread the word.

"Infinite universe?"

Mitt read the first few words of Kevin's manuscript, and suddenly became interested.

What Kevin can call the universe must be a huge movie project.

For example, Marvel Universe, and Xianxia Universe.

Both of these are movie projects that Kevin mentioned.

Looking at Kevin, Mitt asked directly:

"What is an infinite universe?"

Looking at Mitt's curious baby, Kevin also started popular science.

"The infinite universe is a brand new idea of ​​mine, which can connect all the films in the company together."

"..."

The so-called infinite refers to infinite movie fans.

This is Kevin's philosophy and his setting.

To put it bluntly, it is essentially just a fan work in the online literary circle of the previous life.

His kind is called a movie fan?

This description is quite appropriate.

After briefly summarizing these ideas with Mitt, Kevin immediately got Mitt's admiring gaze.

Director, I have to say, is also a profession that tests imagination.

For example, in some special effects movies, when the actors perform embarrassingly under the green screen, the director not only cannot feel the embarrassment, but has to imagine the scene after adding special effects.

This is a test of the director's imagination.

It can be said that since entering the era of special effects, those with poor imagination have basically been driven out of the director industry.

And Kevin's imagination is so good that he can even think of this kind of thing.

"Kevin, you are really good, too good."

"I, Mitt, have never convinced anyone in my life, but I just convinced you today."

"..."

Although he was a bit poor at words, Mitt still praised Kevin embarrassingly.

In short, it is how good Kevin is, and I, Mitt, admire such unnutritious words.

Of course, I have to say that, as the object of being touted, Kevin is quite happy.

But Mitt doesn't flatter meaninglessly, and Kevin knew as soon as he heard it that there must be other routines behind him.

Although he was very happy in his heart, Kevin's expression was calm, and he just said lightly:

"What do you want?"

Mitt stopped bragging.

Hehe smiled and said:

"It's nothing, I'm planning to go to the mainland with my family to play together for a few months. By the way, you've been there for so long and they haven't conceived yet. Is there something wrong with your body? Do you want to have a checkup?"

Kevin raised his eyebrows, is this showing off to him that he has a son?

Mitt has also been married for two years. How old is his son? It can be considered that he married after having a son.

"I'm already pregnant, and I will give birth next year."

Kevin said lightly.

Don't give Mitt the chance to continue showing off.

Facing Kevin's words, Mitt not only did not show off the frustration of failure, but was happy for him.

"That's great, I said, how could it be possible that I haven't been pregnant for so long."

After that, he lowered his voice and said:

"By the way, can you also teach me the eight parts of Vajra Kung Fu?"

"I'm a little weak recently, I need to strengthen my exercise."

Kevin suddenly showed an expression of watching a show, and showed a meaningful smile:

"No problem, I will teach you when you come back from vacation."

Mitt's kidney deficiency, if you don't make a big deal of it, you'll be sorry for the way he showed off the child in front of him just now, and he, Kevin, holds a lot of grudges.

Chapter 382 A Good First Day Results

It's time to make fun of him.

Seeing Kevin's smile, Mitt suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Just when he was about to say something, a staff member sent in the first day data of Transformers.

Seeing this, Mitt was immediately distracted.

All his attention was on the box office on the first day.

Although he was very confident in his heart, when the data really came out, he was also a little nervous.

Every time a movie is shot by him, he will have a moment of nervousness when it is tested by the market.

After receiving the data and looking at it, Mitt's face immediately relaxed.

Seeing the change in Mitt's expression, Kevin asked directly:

"How many?"

Mitte raised his head with a smile, and said happily with his broken voice:

"5000 two million dollars!"

"This should be the best first-day result achieved at this time on Thursday."

After all, Mit winked again and said:

"Kevin, this is something you haven't achieved yet. I, Mitt, will finally become a great director."

Looking at this live treasure, Kevin was not angry either.

The premiere of Transformers, because it was a summer vacation, and because it wasn't Kevin's movie, I couldn't get the opening weekend.

Therefore, the box office on the first day is actually very exaggerated.

What Mitt said was indeed true. This result created the highest single-day box office record in history on Sunday.

Of course, that being said, this achievement is actually useless.

In fact, it's just that I didn't get the treatment for the opening of the weekend. Of course, compared with the film schedule given by the theaters, it doesn't matter.

From the perspective of Kevin, the boss, as long as the overall profit is enough.

It doesn't really matter whether the box office was high or low on the first day.

This data is more important for directors.

At that time, you can make a note on the director's resume, just like Kevin's resume, what a director with a billion box office, the winner of the Oscar for Best Director, the creator of the highest box office record on the first day...

Speaking of my own resume, it is too long, too long to be written on a piece of A4 paper.

Kevin let Mitt play tricks on the sidelines, and praised himself for being good, then rubbed his chin, feeling the touch of the beard, and then asked:

"Mite, do you want to have a celebration party?"

Parties are often held, but the celebration party, Kevin has never held.

The main reason is that I was at the stage of eating alone before, and there were not so many colleagues who needed to be invited to connect with each other.

It's different now. In order to make the cake of the Marvel Universe bigger, Kevin has brought in Warner Bros., Paramount and Fox.

Together with Chenxi Films, the combination of these four companies immediately created a strong sense of oppression on other film companies in the industry.

Columbia, Sony, Bowei, etc. felt pressure all of a sudden. I heard that they seemed to have held a lot of meetings, trying to make something similar to the Marvel Universe.

For this reason, they did a lot of research in the major comic companies in the United States, just to find a model with a well-adapted movie universe that is natural to Marvel.

pity.

Among the cartoonists in the United States, Marvel DC has a total of eight, and other film companies have a total of two.

Except for DC, no comics are qualified to compete with the Marvel universe.

After looking around, there is no super big IP that can compete with Marvel.

Really helpless.

···

"Then... just do it?"

Mitte thought for a moment, then agreed.

The so-called victory party is actually a big party.

Invite a group of friends, have fun together, have fun, and connect with each other at the same time.

····

Hasbro.

Hasbro, which also got the box office data of the first day, was boiling at the same time.

Handing over the film rights of Transformers to Chenxi Films was indeed a correct choice.

According to this trend, the profit of Transformers is at least [-] million US dollars.

Hasbro shared tens of millions with ease.

The huge profits in the film market instantly stimulated industrial companies like them.

I have to say that those who do business do suffer a lot.

High cost and low income.

It is a very high-quality enterprise that can maintain an output with a profit of 20.00% to 30.00%.

As for a movie company, the profit of a movie can reach [-]%, or even [-]%.
