MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 261
In the bar, a casual night, of course, is a serious chic, play in the bar with friends, drink and have a good meal together.
In this respect, to be honest, Mitt has more friends than Kevin.
Kevin and his former classmates are no longer at the same level. Many classmates, that is, the crew members who accompanied him in the Chainsaw movie, are still employees of Chenxi Films.
But their relationship is more of a boss-employee relationship.
And Mitt was able to get along with them as friends.
Occasionally Kevin will have a trace of envy in his heart, of course, he can't be envious because of this.
Compared with this, he likes his current status even more.
After standing at the door of the company and blowing the wind for half an hour, Mitt finally came to Kevin's office swaggeringly after the hangover had dissipated.
As soon as I came in, I saw what Kevin was busy with.
Mitt didn't bother, just waited for Kevin to finish his work.
This wait is over an hour.
Mitt couldn't hold it anymore, stood up, came to Kevin's side and watched the movements of Kevin's hands.
In this regard, Kevin did not stop.
The Infinite Universe can't register the copyright, and whether it can be filmed well, he himself has no play.
It's useless to spread it out, it's all over.
Of course, on the other hand, he also trusts Mitt enough, and he believes that Mitt will not spread the word.
"Infinite universe?"
Mitt read out the first few words on Kevin's manuscript, and immediately became interested.
What Kevin can call the universe must be a huge movie project.
Such as Marvel Universe, and Xianxia Universe.
Both of these are movie projects mentioned by Kevin.
Looking at Kevin, Mitt asked directly:
"What is an infinite universe?"
Looking at Mitt's curious baby appearance, Kevin also started popular science.
"The Infinite Universe is a brand new idea of mine that ties together all the films in the company."
"..."
The so-called infinite is the infinite movie fan.
This is Kevin's philosophy and his setting.
To put it bluntly, in essence, it is just a fan work in the Internet circle of the previous life.
His type is called a movie fan?
This description is quite apt.
After briefly summarizing these ideas with Mitt, Kevin immediately got Mitt's adoring gaze.
Director, I have to say, is also a profession that tests imagination.
For example, in some special effects movies, when the actors act embarrassingly under the green screen, the director not only does not feel embarrassed, but has to make up for the scene after adding special effects.
This is a test of the director's imagination.
It can be said that since entering the era of special effects, those with poor imagination have basically been driven out of the directing industry.
And Kevin's imagination is simply heaven, and he can even think of this kind of thing.
"Kevin, you are really amazing, so amazing."
"I, Mit, have never served anyone in my life, but I will serve you today."
"..."
Although a bit lacking in words, Mitt still embarrassed Kevin.
In short, it's such a nutritious word that Kevin is so powerful, and I admire it so much.
Of course, it has to be said that Kevin is quite happy as the object of being touted.
But Mitt doesn't blow pointless flattery. Kevin knew as soon as he heard it that he must have other routines behind him.
Although he was very happy in his heart, Kevin's expression was calm, he just said lightly:
"What do you want?"
Only then did Mitt stop bragging.
Hehe smiled and said:
"It's nothing, I'm going to go to the mainland to play together for a few months. In other words, it's been so long, and they haven't gotten pregnant yet. Is there something wrong with the body? Do you want to check it?"
Kevin raised his eyebrows, is he showing off having a son?
Mitt has also been married for two years, and how old is his son. It is a marriage with a son first.
"I'm already pregnant, and I'll give birth next year."
Kevin said lightly.
Don't give Mitt a chance to continue showing off.
In the face of Kevin's words, Mitt not only did not show the frustration of failure, but was happy for him.
"That's great, I said, how could it be possible that I haven't been pregnant for so long."
After that, he lowered his voice and said:
"By the way, do you teach me the Eight Vajra Techniques as well?"
"It's been a little empty recently, but I need to strengthen my exercise."
Kevin suddenly showed an expression of watching a play, showing a meaningful smile and said:
"No problem, I'll teach you when you come back from vacation."
Mitt's kidney deficiency, I don't want to publicize it, I'm sorry that he just showed off the child in front of him. He, Kevin, is very vengeful.
Chapter 382 A Good First Day Results
Time to make fun of him.
Seeing Kevin's smile, Mitt immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.
Just when he was about to say something, a staff member came in with the data of the first day of Transformers.
Seeing this, Mitt was immediately diverted his attention.
All his attention was on the box office on the first day.
Although he was very confident in his heart, when the data really came out, he was also a little nervous.
Every time a film shot by his hands is tested by the market, he will have a nervous moment.
After taking the data and looking at it, Mitt's face suddenly relaxed.
Looking at the change in Mitt's expression, Kevin asked directly:
"How many?"
Mitt raised his head with a smile and said happily in his broken gong voice:
"Five-two million dollars!"
"This should be the best first day result we've had at this time on Thursday."
After that, Mitt winked again and said:
"Kevin, this is something you haven't achieved. I, Mit, are finally going to be a great director."
Looking at this living treasure, Kevin is not angry.
The premiere day of Transformers, because it was summer, and it was not Kevin's movie, failed to win the weekend.
Therefore, the box office on the first day is actually very exaggerated.
Mitt is indeed telling the truth. This result created the highest single-day box office record in Sunday's history.
Of course, having said that, this achievement is actually useless.
In fact, I just didn't get the treatment of opening pictures on weekends. Of course, compared with the film arrangement given by the theater, this actually doesn't matter.
From the perspective of Kevin, the boss, as long as the whole is profitable, it is enough.
The first-day box office highs and lows don't really matter.
This data is more important to the director.
At that time, you can write a note on the director's resume, just like Kevin's resume, what a billion-dollar box office director, Oscar's best director award winner, the record creator of the highest box office on the first day...
When it comes to my resume, it's too long, to the point where I can't even write it down on an A4 piece of paper.
Kevin let Mitt play tricks on the side, and praised himself for being good, then rubbed his chin, feeling the touch of the beard, and then asked:
"Mitte, do you want to hold a celebration party?"
Parties are often held, but celebrations, which Kevin has never held.
Mainly because I was in the stage of eating alone before, and I didn't have so many colleagues who needed to be invited to come and connect with each other.
It's different now. In order to make the Marvel universe bigger, Kevin has brought in Warner Bros., Paramount and Fox.
Together with Chenxi Films, the combination of these four companies immediately caused a strong sense of oppression to other film companies in the circle.
Columbia, Sony, Bowei and others felt the pressure for an instant, and I heard that there seemed to be a lot of meetings, trying to get something similar to the Marvel Universe.
For this reason, they have inquired a lot about the major comics companies in the United States, just to find a model that has a good adaptation of the movie universe with Marvel.
pity.
American cartoonists, Marvel DC have a total of eight, and other film companies have two.
Except for DC, no comics have the qualifications to compete with the Marvel Universe.
Looking around, there is no super big IP that can compete with Marvel.
Really helpless.
"Then... do it?"
Mitt thought about it for a while and then came down.
The so-called celebration party is actually a big party.
Invite a group of friends, have a good time, have fun, and connect with each other at the same time.
･･･
Hasbro.
Hasbro, which also got the box office data on the first day, was boiling at the same time.
It is indeed a correct choice to hand over the movie copyright of Transformers to Chenxi Movie.
According to this trend, the profit of Transformers, the minimum is more than 200 million US dollars.
Their Hasbro profited tens of millions easily.
The huge profits in the film market instantly stimulated an industrial company like them.
I have to say that doing business really suffers a lot.
High cost and low benefit.
It is a very high-quality enterprise that can maintain an output of 20% to 30% profit.
And a movie company, a movie, can make a profit of 100%, or even 200%.
