MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 262
If it's a low-cost production like Steve Kevin's Chainsaw, it's 1,000 percent.
This kind of profit can make the real industry dazzled.
Of course, behind the high profitability of movies, there are also corresponding high risks.
But to be honest, what most people can see is the scene where it makes money, and the cruel public behind it is actually not interested.
Just like in the sales industry, 2 out of 10 people make money, and the remaining 80% sell at a loss.
People only see the two-tenths.
The remaining eight-tenths are simply ignored.
The success of Transformers made them full of confidence in the IP on their opponents. Before waiting for the movie to be released and divided, they also moved their minds and pushed other IPs in their hands to the movie market.
Of course, this time, I won't be looking for Morning Sun Movies.
With the copyright, they have to find a suitable film company to cooperate with, so as to make the most profit.
The box office of Transformers temporarily blinded them, making them somewhat underestimated the risks of the movie market.
So they gave birth to the idea of entering the film market.
Of course, no one will remind them.
Hollywood studios, whoever didn't catch the big bucks, would go to hell.
It has been mentioned many times before.
The crew is actually a very good place to fake.
If nothing else, Kevin himself, as a small director, with a crew that invested millions of dollars, is not a problem at all.
This is the norm.
For example, as a prop, as a director, you can find anyone you want.
Find an acquaintance, quote 30,000, and cost 3,000.
Earn 2,000 for acquaintances, and get 25,000 directly.
This kind of thing abounds.
It is almost a general rule for crews all over the world. The smaller the crew, the more common this kind of thing is.
The reason why the relationship between the mainland film circle and the Hong Kong film circle was so tense during a certain period of cooperation was not unrelated to the Hong Kong crew eating alone.
It can only be said that the Hong Kong crew is too ugly to eat.
The crew members in the mainland can't even drink soup, and who would suffer from watching others who are popular and who drink spicy food, how could there not be conflicts.
Of course, this all happened when the Hong Kong film industry overwhelmed the mainland film industry.
Later, after the decline of the Hong Kong film industry, the entire Hong Kong film industry could not get enough to eat.
When Wang Jing feeds a large number of Hong Kong crew members alone, she knows how miserable it is.
Chapter 383 Summary
Of course, the mouth is full of oil in the front, and the look in the back can only be said that it deserves it.
In short, the Hollywood crew is the same virtue.
If it is a movie invested by Kevin himself, of course, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen. Afterwards, a certain bonus will be given to the crew as compensation for no oil and water.
Transformers this movie, the real cost of 130 million.
The specific production cost, when the time comes, the account will go directly to 200 million, and then you will do other things to ensure a book loss.
If you want to get money from this, Hasbro can only say that it thinks too much.
The bigger trouble in the previous life was Warner's pitfall of Rowling.
Harry Potter, when the first few films were filmed, there was a book loss, which was shameless.
Of course, to be honest, no cadre can withstand this kind of test without the shameless exchange of tens of millions of dollars.
Kevin can't do it anyway.
The point is, Hasbro itself isn't being honest.
A hole is a hole.
These ideas of Hasbro are destined to sell the copyright as the final outcome after Hollywood has been hurt and bruised.
A word that Kevin holds as truth, which describes their next ending very well.
Don't make money beyond your knowledge, this kind of money, even if you earn it, goes very quickly.
Just like those lottery players who won the 5 million lottery, if the poor become rich, they tend to consume this wealth quickly and then fall into a worse situation than before.
Hasbro made a movie, even if it was not cheated by these film companies, even if it made money.
This only fuels their greed even more.
Let them keep making movies, and sooner or later they will lose money.
・・・
Just when Kevin and Mitt invited some acquaintances to the celebration party, Hasbro was born to enter the movie market because of the first-day box office of Transformers.
A movie viewing frenzy is coming.
Transformers are on fire, completely on fire.
The market's reaction was clearly better than the hurricane rescue.
This is actually quite normal.
One is the original movie, even if it is the work of Hollywood director Steve Kevin, it is still a popular theme.
But it still can't match the popularity that Transformers has accumulated after more than ten years.
This is the power of IP, which cannot be countered by human beings.
Transformers has successfully attracted countless families into the cinema.
Although there are scenes of fighting, there is actually nothing too **** on the whole.
It's more of a battle of robots and war machines.
Not seeing any cruel scenes, coupled with the status of the morning movie, successfully set the Transformers as a PG-level movie.
PG level, which means general level or tutoring level.
It means that it is recommended to watch it in the company of parents. Individual scenes may be uncomfortable, but there will be no 18 content and some other prohibited content, even if there is a short time.
It also does not include elements of terror and violence, or does not include more than moderate.
This level is actually quite broad.
To put it simply, as long as you are accompanied by your parents, there is basically no age limit.
In fact, in theory, Transformers should be at the PG13 level, which is not suitable for children under the age of 13 to watch.
That all changed when Kevin and Warner teamed up with Paramount and Fox.
You must know that the film review agency in the United States is not an official one, but is assessed by the American Film Institute.
The main members of the Motion Picture Association's committee are the chairmen and presidents of the seven largest film and television media giants in the United States.
The seven companies are Disney, Sony, MGM, Paramount, 21st Century Fox, Universal Images and Warner Bros.
Before, with just one MGM and Kevin eating alone, the movie rating was somewhat business-like.
Now that we have reached cooperation with these companies, we have given some preferential treatment in this regard.
This preferential treatment, at least, is an amount of tens of millions of dollars.
That's one of the treats of Hollywood giants.
It is also the reason why giants are called giants.
Because of the weakening of influence, MGM has almost been reduced to the edge of the film society.
Of course, things have been looking up since being acquired by Kevin.
Everything is heading towards its peak.
But this is all about Leiter, and Kevin didn't intervene.
Although Dawn Films and MGM have now moved to the Kevin Building, they are like two departments with the same function in a company, not related to each other, and only a small part of the business is compatible.
His main energy is still in the morning sun.
This is better for LTECH and has higher autonomy.
Transformers' influence is fermenting.
It is more obvious that the sales of surrounding areas have greatly increased.
The birth of this IP itself was born because of toys.
Naturally, it fits perfectly with its surroundings.
Among them, the various Transformers toys have been sold directly. It can be said that the profits outside the market are also very huge.
Also benefiting are the models that appear in it.
The project of Chenxi Movie has greatly increased the popularity of the two car brands in Fast and Furious. Since then, I don’t know how many sponsors are staring at the project of Chenxi Movie.
Just begging for money to come.
Fast and Furious is basically white prostitution, and Transformers is no less.
Although not as terrifying as Kevin-led Fast and Furious.
But the total amount of sponsorship has also reached more than 40 million US dollars.
Without Kevin's fame bonus, it's actually very exaggerated.
In Hollywood, there are no more than ten people who can get this level of sponsorship, and they have to encounter suitable projects.
Obviously, Transformers is the right project.
Each Transformer corresponds to a model.
According to the number of scenes, the price is different.
The most expensive, of course, is the Bumblebee with the most scenes, which was won by the Chevrolet Camaro.
Second, the leaders of the two Autobot factions, Megatron and Optimus Prime.
Of course, there are also some ordnance, and they won't get any sponsorship.
For example, a helicopter turned into an Autobot, and a tank turned into an Autobot.
Of course, in order not to take advantage of others, the appearance of several tanks and helicopters that did not exist in reality were directly arranged and designed.
At the same time, it is also to avoid being accused of infringement.
From movie box office, to peripheral sales, plus early recovery of investment.
The first-day box office of 52 million is destined to make a big profit.
And just like that, the next day, Friday, Transformers fell just $3 million to $49 million at the box office.
In two days, he successfully reached a billion-dollar achievement, and the news spread all over Hollywood in an instant.
Chapter 384 Party 1
Although it is not surprising for the films produced by Chenxi Film Company to achieve this result.
But countless film companies are still envious and jealous.
Among them, other film companies that did not join this small Hollywood group organized by Kevin were even more envious and jealous.
Why choose these big companies, but not yourself.
Although I clearly know that this is a cooperation between giants, it is impossible without thinking.
Of course, before this alliance was disbanded, other people actually had nothing to do with this alliance.
