MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 211
This result, for him, was no surprise and deserved it.
But it was different for Zhang Yimou.
In the mainland, where the box office exceeded 10 million yuan, it was considered a small explosion. He personally felt that the films he participated in won nearly 300 million yuan at the first-day box office, which is hard to tell.
Chapter 311 Robinov's Abacus
He deeply realized the difference in size between the entertainment circles in the United States and mainland China.
However, he was not hit, but instead raised the courage to pursue it bravely in his heart. .
The history and culture of the mainland told him that as long as he wanted to, the mainland could catch up with anyone and any country.
This is the foundation of a nation's culture.
The box office of Fast and Furious can only be said to be good, but it did not give Kevin any surprises, so I watched the box office on the first day.
Kevin dropped the data and started communicating with Zhang Yimou about his new movie.
"Director Zhang, do you have any thoughts on your new movie?"
Zhang Yimou nodded.
"I'm going to shoot a martial arts film with a fairy tale core."
What is a martial arts film with a fairy tale core?
Kevin suddenly stopped in Bengbu.
Zhang Yi seeks not to go any wrong way.
But looking at Zhang Yimou's confident appearance, Kevin didn't say much, just clicked and said:
"Don't forget to wait for the plan to come out and show it to me."
The hype was all over the place, and Kevin made the money after seeing the plan anyway.
I don't know what Zhang Yimou has learned in the past six months in the United States. Anyway, Kevin is looking forward to it.
After all, Zhang Yimou's skills are still very recognized by him.
Zhang Yimou nodded and gave Kevin a response.
On Kevin's side, through the morning movie, he officially started the business of Hogwarts theme park and began to attract investment worldwide.
After some careful thinking, Kevin decided to put the Hogwarts theme park on the market.
This is not correct. Strictly speaking, it is actually listing Dawn Entertainment Co., Ltd.
Up to now, Kevin has noticed the danger around him.
When the money is more than a number, it is just a number.
Only change money, network, relationship, background.
Kevin has the possibility of reaching the top of Hollywood.
This is another change in Kevin's thinking with the development of time.
Before that, his idea was that when he had enough money, he could directly become a chaebol.
But as he got older, his thinking began to change.
When the money reaches a number, if there is no corresponding force, it is a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Appropriately give away some of the benefits and pull more people into the car.
Then the connections and connections of these people are Kevin's connections.
If there is enough money, this power can be used to turn things around.
If nothing else, Kevin can even manipulate the elections in the United States, or he can go straight to power and play as a congressman, governor, and president.
Of course, this is just talking.
just kidding.
The point is, Kevin is expressing the truth that money alone is definitely not enough.
It's enough for him to hold Dawn Movies and Marvel firmly in his hands.
The theme park chose to go public. Of course, the copyright is actually Dawn Movie, which was transferred to Dawn Entertainment through authorization.
In this way, even if the dawn entertainment company goes public, Kevin can also suppress the dawn entertainment through the dawn movie.
Authorized after all, Kevin only gave it five years at a time.
Every five years, reauthorization is required.
In theory, this will definitely affect the stock price after listing, especially those big capitals may not be so willing to enter the market.
But even so, if a large number of retail investors can be assembled, this is a considerable amount of power.
Remember that the United States is a country where parades are legal.
Kevin was even able to incite them to riot once Dawn Entertainment was unfairly treated.
No, or they are protecting their own interests.
After all, they are all shareholders.
This can block outboard moves to a certain extent.
For example, the U.S. government has changed the laws and regulations, etc.
Of course, it would also be a good thing for Kevin if he could pull in a few big capitals who just wanted to make money while lying down.
However, it depends on the response of other forces after the news is spread out.
･･･
Kevin is busy with the follow-up business plan.
On the other hand, the success of his film Fast and Furious has finally stimulated many Hollywood giants.
A number of giants such as Warner Bros., Fox, Paramount, etc., secretly gathered together and held a small meeting.
The president of Warner Bros., Robinoff, was the first to speak:
"Everyone, we can't sit back and watch Chenxi Films develop like this."
"Do you still want another giant to be born in Hollywood?"
The movie market is capped.
To put it simply, there may be only one movie that audiences want to watch in a period of time, and the number of audiences is fixed.
For a summer vacation, the total cake amount may be $2 billion, or how much.
Originally, when several of their big film companies divided the film market equally, they felt that it was not enough.
So they also began to suppress and exclude other film companies tacitly.
At present, among Hollywood, there are only two movie companies that have the tendency to become giants.
One is Dawn Films, founded by Steve Kevin, and the other is DreamWorks, founded by Steven Spielberg.
These two film companies are the two film companies with the most potential to become Hollywood giants.
It's just that DreamWorks struggled to support under their collective resistance, and it was obviously unlikely to challenge their status.
However, Dawn Films has been brought to this height by Steve Kevin single-handedly.
With super IPs such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and Marvel in their hands, it is no exaggeration to say that Dawn Films has already formed the prototype of the giants.
In a few years, these IPs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and after the various channels of Chenxi Film Company have matured, it will naturally become a Hollywood giant.
This is all kinds of resistance from the giants, and there is nothing they can do to stop it.
After all, Kevin even bought MGM.
Although MGM is a giant that has gone to strangers, it has always been a giant in the past, and various channels are readily available.
With MGM's Morning Pictures, it can be said that all the conditions for becoming a giant are met.
If you want to stop this step of becoming a giant, unless it is Chenxi Film Company, which has lost several consecutive films.
Note that it is multiple.
And it's Steve Kevin's movies that fail in a row.
And this is almost impossible to happen.
At least, in recent years, they did not hold this hope.
Steve Kevin, like a ruthless filmmaking machine, shoots one blockbuster after another for Dawn Films.
Not to be jealous, that's a lie.
Especially Warner Bros. regrets it the most.
They were the first giants to work with Steve Kevin.
If they could have foreseen all this in advance.
Chapter 312
It will definitely try to keep Steve Kevin in Warner Bros., even if it is given the position of CEO, or even give away a part of the shares for free, it can be done.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Warner Bros., can only watch MGM and Dawn Films, relying on Steve Kevin's movies, earn a lot of US dollars.
Therefore, this time, a small meeting to deal with Steve Kevin was also led by Robinoff.
However, Robinov also has his own little abacus in his heart.
In fact, he had already been convinced by Steve Kevin for a long time.
However, the relationship between the two parties has been broken down. If they want to heal again, they must sell Steve Kevin as a big favor.
After thinking hard, Robinov finally came up with a solution.
What else is easier to gain Steve Kevin's favor than telling Kevin that someone is planning how to deal with him.
For the rise of Warner Bros., Robinoff has worked hard and finally decided to form an anti-morning alliance first.
Then sell these people to Steve Kevin to gain his favor.
Later, he and Kevin reached other cooperation.
This is Robinov's small calculation in his mind.
"Of course not. The Hollywood market is already too crowded. We can't let Chenxi Film Company just get up like this."
"We can't let him grab our market."
"right!"
The presidents of several other film companies have expressed their opinions on this. The core remark is to stop the development of Chenxi Films.
"What can you do?"
Robinov continued to entice them to come up with a solution.
"The first is to adjust the schedule and directly confront the three hundred Spartan warriors under Chenxi Films and the world of Shushan. Who is willing to take the initiative?"
The president of Paramount put forward the idea of a head-to-head competition in terms of movies.
But after looking around for a week, he found out that no one wants to collide with the movies of Chenxi Film Company head-on.
A collision means that there is a high probability that the box office will not be as high as it should have been.
That means losing money.
None of the heads of the major film companies present was willing to pay such a price.
Seeing that no one responded, the president of Paramount could only sit down angrily.
Immediately afterwards, the president of Columbia proposed a vicious plan.
"Or, let's find someone to try and burn the master tape of Shushan World and the three hundred Spartan warriors?"
"In this way, no matter how you say it, it's a loss of more than 100 million US dollars. After a few more times, I see how he can bear it."
