MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 256
"If your daughter is kidnapped by human traffickers, will you, like Brian, do anything to save your daughter?"
Such a popular post has been pinned to the home page of the current popular forum by countless netizens, and has been pinned high.
The number of likes is as high as tens of thousands.
This is an extremely scary number.
Be aware that not everyone will like it.
The number of tens of thousands of likes represents the number of people who have seen this post, which may be as high as millions.
In the post, there was a debate about whether Brian took too much action in order to save his daughter.
There are those who agree with Brian's method, and think that these traffickers who threaten his daughter are more than worthless, and they deserve to die.
On the other side, there was a group of virgins. They believed that Brian was too heavy, and most of them did not necessarily commit a crime. Although they were gang members, they were just scoundrels and would not die.
This is how a heated debate ensues over the views of the two parties.
This debate has brought a steady stream of new audiences to hurricane rescues.
Some viewers who don't know the movie and don't plan to watch the movie, after seeing the debate in the post, can't help but join the debate, and at the same time make plans to watch the movie.
Just how cruel Brian's methods are, so that people can say that, how cruel he is for his daughter.
And this feeling, after watching the movie, will make these new audiences split into two groups.
One faction felt that Brian wasn't ruthless, that's how it should be, very relieved.
The other faction felt that Brian's attack was too cruel and shouldn't be like this.
This series of reactions made the post's popularity rise again and again.
If you have to compare it, it is the later Weibo list that became a hot search.
It can be said to be the hottest topic on the Internet.
Of course, this topic can guarantee that behind the popularity, the marketing of Chenxi Movies is essential.
All kinds of push and pull, what is needed is the fermentation of the topic heat.
Under such circumstances, the next day, the box office dropped by only 3 million, but still achieved a good result of more than 50 million US dollars, and achieved a good result of more than 100 million US dollars at the box office in two days.
This achievement made countless actors jealous.
For Jet Li, the lucky boy, my heart is full of envy and jealousy.
At the same time, countless actors are trying their best to get involved with the morning movie, so that they can participate in the shooting of Steve Kevin's next movie.
Who doesn't want to take this shortcut to fame.
Under such overwhelming publicity, throughout June, hurricane rescue has become a well-deserved overlord.
That being said, it's not impossible for films from other studios to be released.
After all, there are so many schedules, and sometimes it is unavoidable. Except for the first week of the hurricane rescue, there are also many movies that follow.
Of course, it's basically a movie that doesn't conflict with Kevin's action movie.
No matter how fragrant and popular action movies are, there are still many people who don't like them.
Such as children, such as women.
The audience for action movies is men in their teens to their 40s and 50s.
Although it has occupied a large part of the audience, there is still room for other films with different audiences.
Of course, these are not in Kevin's consideration.
He is not a saint. Whether other films can survive or not has nothing to do with him. What he needs to be responsible for is whether the films he shoots sell well.
In this way, within half a month, Hurricane Rescue achieved close to $200 million at the North American box office, and at the same time, the decline was very stable. Normally, it is not a problem to eat another $100 million.
In other words, the expected amount of the North American box office is probably in the early 300s of dollars.
This has successfully done what Kevin expected, and he did it again.
Meanwhile, another good news came.
That means the contract has been negotiated.
The Marvel Universe will begin its development path with four legs going hand in hand.
Under such circumstances, Kevin received a call from the three of them to discuss a large-scale press conference.
This scene of cooperation between the four major Hollywood giants can be said to be unique in Hollywood.
Yes, the four big ones also include Chenxi Film Company.
The other three are Hollywood giants in this joint project centered on the morning movie.
This invisibly elevates the status of Chenxi Films again, and it is almost a well-deserved Hollywood giant.
The only difference between Chenxi Films and them now is that there is no capital behind Chenxi, and the overall profit depends on Steve Kevin alone. Maybe a wave of risks is not taken, and it will be gone.
This is also the reason why it is not recognized.
No one believes that Steve Kevin will be successful all the time, even though his prime seems a bit long.
It's been eight years since I stepped into Hollywood, and it seems like it will be at its peak for a long time.
But everyone agreed that it was almost over.
After all, this peak period has been exaggerated, and if there is another eight years, it will be too terrifying.
As long as his peak period is over, the morning movie will be like MGM.
Get into trouble, and then never get up again.
That's the plight of the average studio.
It is too difficult to become a giant, and encountering a difficulty may directly lead to the collapse of the company.
Without the backing of capital, it is impossible to carry risks. This is the predicament of all film companies.
Movie companies have not been able to remain profitable all the time.
This is also the reason behind the capital support behind the Hollywood giants.
When faced with the crisis of bankruptcy, these film companies had to choose to sell themselves and rely on those capitals, and only then did they get the qualification to continue.
The purpose of holding this press conference is actually very simple, which is to promote the Marvel Universe.
Before that, if Kevin wanted to develop the Marvel Universe with the help of Chenxi Film Company, it would take decades.
Chapter 375 Before Transformers Released...
Of course, that's talking about a beefed-up version of Kevin's version of Marvel.
Instead of the original shrunken Marvel.
Yes, Kevin sees Kevin Feige's version of the Marvel Universe as a scaled-down version.
No way, compared to the comics, this version has weakened too much.
Kevin's version of the Marvel Universe is much better as a whole. Under the circumstance of limiting the increase in remuneration, there are more sufficient funds to produce special effects.
It can show more powerful scenes, and with martial arts guidance, the fighting scenes can also be more beautiful.
In fact, the biggest reason for restricting Marvel in the past life is cost.
The Iron Man project is Marvel's last-ditch effort.
Once the movie fails, Marvel is much worse than DC.
DC has Warner Bros., and Marvel was acquired by Disney later. The front is actually Kevin Feige's last fight.
From the actor of Iron Man, I know it with Robert Downey Jr.
If it wasn't for no choice, how could it be possible to choose such a small actor who has almost disappeared from the film market and can only get half a million dollars.
If it fails, Marvel can sell it directly.
Anyway, at that time, Marvel, the important characters in its hands, have already been sold.
Of course, the subsequent success was unexpected.
They agreed to their request to hold a press conference, and soon, the news spread through major media.
Eye-catching headline parties have all come out.
Speaking of which, Kevin took the lead.
The headline party propaganda has really had a good effect. Now, one by one, they are starting to start a headline party.
"The Big Four in Hollywood are about to jointly hold a press conference. According to inside information from this newspaper, this press conference is suspected to be related to the merger of the four companies..."
It seems that these two words are well said, which means that it is not true, but the title is really eye-catching.
Hollywood giants, after decades of development, are well-known in the United States to a degree that no one knows about.
The sudden merger of several film companies that have existed since childhood has attracted the attention of many people.
Of course, the title party shows that the content is not true.
Similar headlines are endless and interesting.
Of course, compared with those ordinary people, the Hollywood circle is more concerned about this matter.
Many people were also sent to inquire about the news.
If these four studios did merge, there would be no way for anyone else to survive.
But this kind of thing sounds unlikely, of course, not without a chance.
In the end, after inquiring from all parties, they learned a piece of news, that is, Steve Kevin actually opened part of the copyright of Marvel to the three film companies Warner Bros., Fox and Paramount.
This news shocked everyone.
The Marvel Universe, to dominate the next movie market, has almost become a common knowledge in the hearts of everyone.
This made other film companies feel what it means to be threatened one by one.
A feeling like a stalk in the throat, a little unhappy.
Unfortunately, even if this kind of cooperation between giants is unhappy, they can't point fingers at it.
In this way, a grand press conference was officially held.
After the press conference, Marvel fans were the first to react.
They support all of this with various means, offline and online.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the audience.
Originally, there may be only one or two movies a year, but now there may be three or four movies added a year, which makes the audience suddenly see a scene of feasting their eyes in the future.
Naturally, there is no objection to such a good thing happening.
While everything was going according to plan, the time soon came to July.
Another big production from Chenxi Film Company will be launched soon.
That is Mitt's Transformers.
Among these three movies, only Transformers is likely to lose money.
Needless to say about the hurricane rescue, top directors, top actors, full action scenes, and achieved the expected success.
And Spider-Man 2, as part of the Marvel Universe, has the popularity of the previous Spider-Man, and Spider-Man itself is actually the most valuable IP in the Marvel Universe. Kevin's expectation for it is a minimum of $500 million. .
Anything lower than that is a failure, and of course, it is unlikely to be lower than that.
Only Transformers, because of Hasbro's greed, Kevin made a decision to make its profits negative.
And complete the plot at one time, making the sequel difficult to shoot.
Anyway, it is a wave, and Kevin has no hope for the profits that follow.
The first Transformers movie, the original global box office is 700 million US dollars.
However, there is a seven-year gap from the time when it was originally released. Kevin's psychological expectation for it is also $500 million.
Of course, the most unfortunate thing is that the copyright is not Kevin's.
