MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 246

In this limited number of movies, there is basically no loss of money so far.

In the final analysis, the directors recruited by Kevin are all talented and capable directors who have experienced the test of time in the future.

Plus Kevin's direction and editing.

In fact, the current situation is still very normal, not to say that it is such an exaggeration.

After making the call, Kevin looked at Tsui Hark:

"The script is finished?"

"Yes, Kevin, see if you can."

Tsui Hark is really not very confident in the American version adapted from this oriental story.

Chapter 360: Xiao Yuan's Story of Chasing a Girl

Kevin took the script and read it.

What are the selling points of the American print skins that Tsui Hark and the three gold medal screenwriters tinkered with together, this is what Kevin wants to pay attention to.

Such a thrilling romance.

It is the American version of A Chinese Ghost Story, Human Ghost Love, similar to 400 Years of Horror. The upper limit of this peculiar box office is far lower than those of normal movie types.

For the film "Painted Skin", Kevin is going to give him about 20 to 30 million investment, and if it reaches a box office of 50 million, he will be able to make a small profit.

And this, with Kevin's knowledge of Tsui Hark, is not difficult.

Tsui Hark has this strength.

The setting in the script is actually a Ghost Story in disguise.

It is called painted skin, and the essence of it is actually a replica of A Chinese Ghost Story. Of course, this is the core of the story, that is, the poignant and beautiful love of people and ghosts, and the typical tragic ending.

On the outside, wrapped in some monster stories that Americans can understand.

For example, painted skin is expressed by a monster that can disguise itself as a beautiful woman.

The story is that monsters fall in love with people first, people first fall in love with monsters because of the painted skin, then they are afraid because of the exposure of the painted skin, and leave the monster, and then the monster's kin find out, they are dissatisfied with this and want to kill this person, Then fell in love with the human monster and chose to protect him.

In the end, the monster was killed and the human survived.

Of course, speaking of it, it doesn't really show anything.

The story is actually not complicated, it can be understood as a sadomasochism between a man and a monster.

To be specific, that sentence depends on the director's ability.

With the same outline, different novel authors can write and complete different works, one is a masterpiece, the other is garbage.

The same goes for movies.

The same script, a good director, can turn corruption into magic, and make it into a masterpiece.

A **** director, his works are also sloppy.

"Well, the script is fine, it depends on your level."

The script is a normal Hollywood standard rhythm script, and Tsui Hark is not unconventional in this regard.

There is nothing wrong with the plot, the rest that affects the quality of this movie is Tsui Hark himself.

Tsui Hark nodded without saying much.

The exact amount of investment is yet to be discussed.

Probably somewhere between 20 million and 30 million.

At present, the film projects within the Chenxi Film Company are firstly issued with plans and scripts, and then according to the cost in the script, after communicating with the special effects company in advance, the amount is roughly determined, and then according to the actors to be invited.

After some things come down, this is the final appropriation.

In the Dawn movie, everyone except Steve Kevin has to do this process.

As for Kevin, of course, this is used to limit the director from spending money, and no one said that this can limit Kevin spending money.

After this process, half an hour passed.

The secretary arrived in a hurry, and after Kevin arranged specific publicity arrangements for him, he let the secretary leave.

Then Tsui Hark went to the company's audit department with the script and plan to audit the plan.

After the audit, there is no problem, and the project approval begins.

Wang Jing went to the publicity department to check the follow-up publicity and see if there was any need for him. He also wanted to try, and whether some of his publicity routines could be used in Hollywood.

Both of them left.

Kevin then went to the place where he hooked up with Nicole Kidman and continued to be happy.

･･･

The next day, the publicity department of Chenxi Films adjusted the next publicity strategy.

To put it simply, it is to carry out intensive publicity towards cinemas around high schools and universities.

Do not engage in that kind of indiscriminate publicity, these greatly reduced costs.

At the same time, the focus of propaganda is also to brush the edge.

To put it simply, it is to use some pictures of edge **** to evoke men's hormones.

These things are really attractive.

Edge ball has always been the way to sell small-budget movies.

And Wang Jing is obviously very good at this kind of movie.

In the fermentation of word of mouth, and the power of publicity.

The box office the next day doubled to $2 million.

This wave immediately made Wang Jing very happy.

Even with the heroine, he started to run the propaganda.

Here, once again praise Wang Jing's aesthetics.

With this combination of flaming red lips, big waves, and fierceness, no man can resist the temptation.

Kevin also didn't know whether Wang Jing played the unspoken rules, and Kevin was too lazy to take care of this.

He is also a veteran himself, so who cares about others.

For him, as long as it is on the premise of your love and my will, there is no problem.

All he cares about is the profitability of the movie.

Movies make money, as long as they don't violate the law and discipline, the rest is up to you.

This is the society of capital, and everything is about making money.

You have the ability to make money, the other is not a problem.

With the joint efforts of Wang Jing and the male and female protagonists, the box office hit a new high on the third day.

Earned $2.8 million at the box office.

In the three days, they received 1.1 million, 1.05 million and 2.8 million US dollars at the box office respectively.

The follow-up market is even more optimistic.

The cinemas have actively requested to increase the number of films.

In this deserted period, in fact, the theaters are operating with negative profits. It is difficult to have such a film with good results entering the market, and the theaters are naturally very sensible.

As a result, on the fourth day, with the huge increase in the number of films, Chasing the Girl actually won the box office of 4.4 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

Day five also grossed $4.3 million at the box office.

Immediately afterwards, the decline in Chasing Women began to increase, becoming more than three million US dollars...

In this way, a month passed in a blink of an eye, Chasing the Girl, with a production cost of 5 million US dollars and a publicity fee of 3 million, successfully obtained a box office score of 38 million.

This achievement, compared with blockbusters, is naturally not surprising.

But in the low-budget movies, it is already a big profit.

Excluding the costs, the box office profits alone brought in nearly $20 million in revenue.

There will also be DVD income in the follow-up, which can make a small profit.

As for overseas, there is no hope.

The cost of overseas distribution is very high, and if it is not a moderate investment or above, a movie with a suitable theme will not be distributed overseas at all.

Therefore, the profit of the movie Chasing Nv Ji is the North American box office and DVD revenue. The DCD revenue of this kind of movie may be higher than the box office.

After all, the scale of the theater line is still limited.

But in DVD, the tube can be much looser.

There are many young people who like to buy DVDs of this typical 18-movie movie, just for a little benefit.

As a result, DVD sales of such films have always been good.

According to Hollywood's experience, such a film can eventually bring in an income of more than 30 million US dollars for the morning film.

And the cost is only $8 million.

Chapter 361 Propaganda of Hurricane Rescue

It is said that movies make money, and it is the money that is made here.

A full three times the profit.

In addition to some illegal businesses, among legitimate businesses, this is definitely a top-notch business, and of course the profit is also fast.

The time has come to May.

Ushered in the release of Mission: Impossible.

This 007-style special film has always had a very large audience in Hollywood and even the global market.

The first, directed by Steve Kevin, got off to a good start.

Therefore, Mission Impossible 3, as soon as it was released, achieved very good results.

The first-day box office of more than 40 million US dollars shows how hot this series of films is.

You know, apart from Steve Kevin's films, few other directors can often reach this first-day box office level.

But in May, the box office overlord Mission: Impossible, actually Kevin didn't care much.

Hurricane rescue, scheduled for June 6th.

Nothing else, as Kevin thinks, the number of June 6 is very lucky, and it happens to be Saturday.

When most people watch movies.

Throughout May, what Kevin has to do is to fill his presence, and he has no time and energy to care about other movies.

With his status and various entertainment programs, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he speaks, there is nothing he can't get on.

If he goes, it means he is popular and can make money.

But generally speaking, Kevin never appears on a TV show if it's not for movie promotions.

Of course, now is the time for him to be on the show in order to promote the movie.

When I got the news that Kevin was going to be on TV to promote the movie, the most popular talk shows and talk shows all sent invitations to Kevin.

As long as he is famous enough, Kevin will not refuse to come, and sort them according to the size of his fame.

With Jet Li and Johnson, Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway, they talked freely in major programs.

Jet Li and Johnson performed with kung fu routines, while Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway went up to show off their looks.

In addition, Kevin sits in the town and uses his fame to draw traffic for this movie.

After a month of continuous rotation, not only did the actors get tired, but Kevin himself was getting tired too.

Of course, it's all worth it.
