MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 238

Increase investment to $25 million.

In this case, only 50 million US dollars can be repaid. Leaving aside other places, Kevin is confident that he can achieve this result in both the United States and the mainland.

Even if you lose, you won't lose much.

"thanks!"

Zhang Yimou once again expressed his thanks to Kevin, and also remembered Kevin as a friend in his heart.

I have to say that Kevin has really helped him in all aspects, and he is not like the capitalist in his concept at all.

After reaching a mutually satisfactory result, the next step is naturally a pleasant meal.

Then, it was Zhang Yimou's search for Dawson.

In this regard, Kevin does not interfere.

Kevin continued to be busy with his own business here.

So the filming continued.

Time has come to December of 1999, and it is about to come to a special point in human history.

Of course, in fact, it is the arrival of another whole number of years.

The outside world held various celebrations for this time, but these obviously had nothing to do with Kevin.

Dawn Movies At present, there are really no movies to be released this summer.

The Russo brothers are busy with the Spider-Man sequel, which is expected to be released in the summer of next year.

Mitt is filming Transformers, and the time is also set for the summer release.

Tsui Hark's new film has not yet started, and it is currently unknown when the filming will begin.

Zack Snyder is even more absent. Kevin has asked him to come to the company at Christmas, and he has to arrange a new job.

Others, including Kevin himself, were busy, and he couldn't get used to Snyder playing around.

There are also two companies Xinnen, Wen Ziren and Wang Jing.

After being baptized by Kevin's side, Wang Jing is ready to shoot a movie that she likes to make her debut in Hollywood.

Invest $5 million.

And Wen Ziren, with the encouragement of Kevin, accepted the investment of 3 million from Chenxi Films and prepared to make a horror film.

Kevin didn't care about this kind of low-cost production.

He gave at most two people the chance to make three low-budget films each.

If you can't get good results, I'm sorry, Hollywood is very cruel.

They were basically in Hollywood and they lost the opportunity to make a movie.

And in this Christmas file without Dawn Movies, the first to exert force is the animated movie of Bowei Disney, Toy Story 2.

The film went straight to $55 million at the opening box office, earning the honor of being the top five opening box office presence of the year in North America.

This also means that Bo Wei is about to make a lot of money.

And it is followed by another animated film, Elf Mouse.

However, Little Rat only made $15 million at the box office, which is nowhere near as good as Toy Story 2 in this regard.

Of course, it's cheaper, and it's not necessarily unprofitable.

These two animated films became the only winners of this Christmas season.

I have to say that the family carnival atmosphere of the Christmas stall has made this kind of film a very good result.

Inside Dawn Films.

Kevin is in talks with Chris Columbus about the second Harry Potter film.

When the cooperation came from Chris Columbus to Dawn Films, it was actually reached.

Chris Columbus is now listening to some lessons from Steve Kevin.

As the box office king in Hollywood, Chris Columbus certainly wanted to hear Kevin's shooting philosophy and learn from it.

"Chris, the most taboo thing about commercial films is to make things mysterious. We want to make the story clear to the audience at a glance."

"Take Pirates of the Caribbean as an example. The audience has long known that the protagonist, Captain Jack Sparrow, is going to look for gold coins. Does this delay the audience watching the movie?"

"No, on the contrary, the audience is more looking forward to the follow-up plot, which depends on the previous foreshadowing..."

Kevin is still generous with this little idea.

Chris Columbus nodded repeatedly.

After the two sides chatted for another hour, Chris Columbus left Dawn Films.

Christmas starts tomorrow. After he picks it up in advance, he starts work directly after Christmas.

After Chris Columbus left.

Kevin called Schneider and Dawson separately.

First came Schneider.

"Kevin!"

Pushing open the door, after a few months of vacation, Schneider, who was very cheerful and lively, walked in.

Saw Kevin and said hello.

Kevin raised his eyelids lazily, just raised his eyebrows and said:

"Enough rest?"

"Enough, enough."

Schneider stretched and lay lazily on the sofa.

Unaccustomed to him being so comfortable, Kevin immediately began to arrange work.

"Do you have any ideas for the next movie, if not, I will arrange it?"

"No idea, you can arrange it."

"Will there be a sequel?"

At present, Pirates of the Caribbean has released the second film, and the third film is still under preparation. As for when it will be filmed, it is still uncertain.

The second part of The Matrix has no shadow, so let's put it on hold for the time being. This kind of movie is quite controversial, and it takes time to become a masterpiece, so don't rush to make a sequel.

Then came the Iron Man and Ghost Rider projects.

The sequels to these films must begin immediately.

At least two years must be guaranteed to continue to ensure the popularity of the Marvel Universe.

Not to mention the rest, just these, the director of the company is already too busy.

Kevin has successively sent out invitations to some directors he has a little impression of.

Next year's Morning Sun will make huge investments in the movie market.

sequel?

After hesitating for a while, Schneider still shook his head. As a director, he actually likes to try something new and doesn't like making sequels very much.

"Then shoot it."

Since he doesn't want to make a sequel, he will continue his specialty, the comic book movie, and the special forces that he got with the Transformers, and he will almost make a fortune.

Chapter 350 Special Forces

Anyway, whether it is Transformers or special forces, it is destined to be unprofitable on the book.

Just because of Hasbro's attitude, they'll have to pay for it.

Wanting to take advantage of Hollywood studios can only be said to be wishful thinking.

On the other hand, they have deep cooperation with Disney after all, or even their people. These two copyrights are destined to fall into Disney's hands in the future.

The two films are so well done that it is easy to make wedding dresses for others.

Therefore, Kevin is going to shoot these two films into a relatively perfect state.

Simply put, there is no room for a sequel.

How you want to play depends on what Disney will do later, but it can be expected that the cost will be very high.

And it's easy to run into the street.

If the interface is not kept well, it is almost equivalent to remaking a brand-new movie with the original cast, without getting too many bonuses.

The shot is bad, and it is easy to get sprayed.

"The film rights of Transformers were taken along with the film rights of the special forces."

"The Transformers were handed over to Mitt, will you shoot the special forces?"

Snyder nodded.

As one of Hasbro's two classic IPs, its popularity is naturally not low in the United States.

It is also one of Schneider's childhood memories, and Schneider is very willing to put it on the big screen.

"Okay, the specific script, you can figure it out yourself, but what I want to see is a sci-fi film with a great sense of picture, and I hope to see your ability."

For Schneider, Kevin did not limit how he could shoot.

He is already a mature director and can go according to his own ideas. Of course, the big frame still has to be set.

Like this is a sci-fi movie, of course, not that serious sci-fi movie.

It is a kind of pseudo-sci-fi similar to Marvel superheroes, and it is about a kind of visual shock.

"give it to me."

After practicing so many movies, Schneider is full of confidence.

"Okay, nothing to do with you, let's prepare a new project, Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Kevin!"

After saying hello, Schneider turned to leave.

Christmas is the most important holiday in the United States, and its status is equivalent to the Spring Festival in the mainland. He is anxious to go back to spend time with his family.

After Schneider left, Dawson came next.

"Kevin."

A look of joy appeared on Dawson's face.

Christmas is the last day before the holiday.

As the president, he can finally take a few days off. As usual, no day is entirely his own.

This is the price you have to pay to get to the top.

And Dawson was willing.

Of course, the position of the president of Chenxi Film Company need not be said much. Being in this position is the most glorious moment in Dawson's life. On weekdays, he naturally does his best and does not dare to be lazy.

"Dawson, it's been another year, thanks for your hard work."

Courtesy words are still to be said.

Although Dawson really worked hard, Dawson also got corresponding rewards, so let's count on the right effort.

"It's all my job, there's nothing hard or hard."

Dawson said immediately.

After being polite, Kevin began to communicate with Dawson about his work for next year.

Next year's morning movie will be busy enough.

Dawson is responsible for the promotion of a bunch of movies, as well as various TV series and various copyright authorizations.
