MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 218
The church's boycott of the 300 Spartan warriors aroused the interest of countless audiences.
What kind of a good movie will the stinking church actively resist.
In such a rebellious mentality, countless audiences stepped into the cinema one after another and began to watch the movie 300 Spartan Warriors.
And the box office of the film on that day was unprecedentedly reversed.
From 23 million, it counterattacked to 35 million, which is close to the box office data on the first day.
And this upsurge is still going on. It seems that it can last for ten days and a half months.
It was only at this point that Zack Snyder temporarily stopped the promotion of his jumping up and down.
By this time, the strength of the propaganda has almost reached its peak.
If you want to see it, you will naturally see it. If you don't want to go, you have to think about it when you send the ticket.
Fast forward to August.
Films by Steve Kevin, Fast and Furious, have been released worldwide through MGM's overseas channels.
Such a purely commercial blockbuster, as soon as it was released, occupied the top of the box office charts in countless small countries on the first day.
The reason is simple.
Watching Steve Kevin's commercial blockbusters is always worth the price.
In most small countries, the economy is not developed, watching movies, at present, is regarded as a medium consumption activity.
It belongs to the kind of consumption that goes once or twice a month, but it is definitely not a consumption that can be seen every day.
For the audience with the largest audience in the world, their first reaction to watching a movie is whether it can be worth the ticket price.
Under this kind of psychology, Hollywood blockbusters, especially commercial blockbusters shot by world-renowned directors like Steve Kevin, will undoubtedly be worth the ticket price in their hearts.
It is in this situation that Fast and Furious achieved a hot first-day performance as soon as it was released.
For overseas markets, no one watches Hollywood movies for so-called art.
Everyone's purpose is to enjoy a visual feast.
The Fast and the Furious movie satisfies their needs very well.
There is no Hollywood movie in the same period that can compete with the Fast and the Furious movie.
Even the Star Wars series.
The characteristic of Star Wars is that it is very, very popular in the United States.
But outside the United States, there are many people who know it, and if the truth is hot, it is actually not as good as many Hollywood blockbusters.
The lightsaber plot is also unique to Americans.
Of course, there is also an element, that is, Star Wars was actually released overseas half a month earlier than Fast and Furious.
Therefore, as soon as the Fast and the Furious was released, it directly won the box office champion of the day.
To put it simply and bluntly, Star Wars, which was released for half a month, was beaten by Fast and Furious at the box office in overseas markets.
The exciting racing elements stimulate the hearts of countless fans.
It has also led to batches of racing crazes, which can be regarded as causing a lot of trouble for the police of various countries.
In Japan, the legendary drag racing holy land, on the autumn name mountain.
It is because of the movie Fast and Furious that a professional racing event was held.
Many racing car dealers, because of speed and passion, are making a lot of money one by one.
It shows how broad the influence of a Kevin's film is.
At the same time, with the release of the movie.
The Mercedes-Benz series and the Ferrari series, various models that have appeared in the movie, are even more popular.
For this reason, the sponsors of Mercedes-Benz, as well as the sponsors of Ferrari, are even more fortunate in their hearts that they chose to believe in Steve Kevin's movies.
That's how it paid off.
Of course, they also made a huge investment.
But it's all worth it.
Steve Kevin's films, taking their brand awareness to a whole new level, is something that tens of millions of dollars in investment can't buy.
In their hearts, the trust in Steve Kevin is even higher.
It is no exaggeration to say that for the follow-up Fast and Furious series, as long as Kevin speaks, they are willing to cover the production fee.
No, it didn't even take Steve Kevin to speak.
They will offer to send money.
They're more afraid of being replaced than to let Steve Kevin speak.
So much market share.
Fast and Furious increases their popularity, which naturally increases the popularity of other brands.
Even if it is paying tens of millions of dollars to maintain this market share, while preventing other brands from occupying this share.
They also feel great value and special value.
Of course, other brands are even more crazy about it.
No one could have imagined that the effect of Steve Kevin's first time placing advertisements in a movie would be so good.
Among those who had participated in the competition before, one even regretted his bowels.
It's just a psychological factor.
The reality is that you didn't win the sponsorship, and you got the competition.
And this sponsorship has achieved very good results.
The consequence is that the person responsible for sponsoring the negotiation will be held accountable for the incident.
The people in charge at that time were demoted or transferred one by one, and they all paid the price.
This is called the workplace.
Only on results.
No one expected such a success. At that time, they did not have the right to make a decision, but they still had to take the blame.
Kevin doesn't care about the business operation of the outside world, and the people from Chenxi Movies will handle the specific things.
He just sits and waits to receive the money.
The annual salary of 30 million US dollars is not a joke, all of them are elites in the industry.
Chenxi Film, as a rising giant, is undoubtedly a very promising company in the eyes of these elites.
Although Steve Kevin meant that Dawn Movies would never go on sale, they couldn't get dividends like options.
But instead, it is a salary level that is much higher than the market salary.
Future dividends, and current compensation, no one is a fool.
It's the real deal.
Relying on this high salary that destroys the salary structure of the market, Chenxi Film Company has recruited a large number of talents.
In this regard, other film companies are of course quite critical.
But helpless.
The reason why Chenxi Film Company was able to offer such a high salary without going public.
Chapter 322
It's because they have Steve Kevin, a legendary director in Hollywood.
This allows them to have a series of classic movies and IP.
The cash flow of Chenxi Movies is continuous and very healthy.
Without going public and cutting leeks, they can easily pay such high annual operating costs.
This is the envy of other film companies.
Dawson, the president of Chenxi Films, is rising steadily in the circle.
It has been regarded as equivalent to the general status of the presidents of old-fashioned film company giants like Warner Bros. and Paramount.
This also shows invisibly that although the hardware conditions have not kept up, in terms of software conditions, Chenxi Films has become a giant invisibly.
Of course, the premise is that Steve Kevin still maintains an undefeated record.
Inside Dawn Films.
It's time for a meeting again.
Of course, mainly a few idle directors.
Zach Snyder, after a good run in the Spartan 300, started his own break.
Currently in the rest period, there is nothing to do, and was pulled over by Kevin for a meeting.
Mitt was urged by Kevin to start the filming of Transformers because he had a long rest before, and did not come to this small meeting.
Kevin still remembers Hasbro's arrogance.
Transformers profits, he is not prepared to give Hasbro a cent.
The Russo brothers, who are working on a sequel to Spider-Man, have already started filming and haven't come.
There is also Zhang Yimou, who went back to the mainland to find people and set up his team. The filming will start soon, and naturally it is impossible to participate in this meeting.
So, inside Kevin's office.
At present, Kevin, Zach Snyder, and Tsui Hark are having a small meeting.
Looking at the empty office, thinking that Marvel still has so many sequels to shoot, Kevin felt a headache.
It really doesn't work, so I can only find a few directors outside.
However, whether outside directors will follow Kevin's ideas and shoot commercial films is also a question.
The vast majority of directors like to include private life in their movies.
In the words of the audience, it is Wen Qing who is sick.
I always want to do some work in the movie, but I don't know that the vast majority of audiences watch the movie just for Tu Yile.
Kevin looked at Zack Snyder who was slumped on the sofa, his expression full of leisurely and relaxed Zack Snyder, and tentatively said:
"Schneider, don't you think you should work harder at your age?"
"Look, you've been off for seven days... no, it's been half a month, and it's almost time to start the next movie."
"You can't be satisfied just because the Spartan 300 made $320 million at the North American box office."
Schneider suddenly couldn't sit still, and complained bitterly:
"Kevin, I've only rested for less than a week. How could it be half a month in your mouth?"
"Besides, it's not like you don't know how tired you are after filming a movie. Let's not take a break like Mitt for half a year, you still need two or three months."
Kevin held his chin, and after some thought, he felt that it really made sense, so he let Zack Snyder go for the time being. Of course, it was inevitable to arrange the work in advance.
"Okay, then I'll give you a three-month vacation, but I hope you can do something for me."
"What's up?"
Zach Snyder got excited when he heard about the three-month vacation.
God is pitiful to see, before he became a director, he used to think that as long as there is a film to shoot, even if he does not rest all the time.
But after he became a film director, he realized the hard work of a director.
