After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 249



Chapter 249:

“At the same time, the company will also guarantee that there are movies to be made, that the box office profits of the movies exceed a certain amount, and there will be bonuses.”

“…”

The contract is naturally not that simple. Kevin here just briefly described the treatment given by the morning movie to him.

These treatments made Christopher Nolan’s eyes shine.

Although the family who can be a director is generally not too bad, the treatment given by Kevin still makes him feel very good.

When it comes to opportunities, Kevin will invest in their films, or arrange projects directly.

There is also a base salary.

This contract means that even if he doesn’t make money for Chen Xi Movie for ten years, he can get two million dollars for nothing.

He couldn’t get this contract no matter where he was, except for Chen Xi Movie.

In fact it is.

Ordinary film companies, of course, would not make such a crazy move.

Kevin’s ability to give such favorable conditions is also based on his understanding of them.

Except for Mitt, he had no impression, but he was his roommate and was brought out step by step.

The others are all famous directors in Kevin’s memory.

Two million dollars in ten years is nothing.

But it can capture people’s hearts greatly.

Really a good deal.

After chatting a few more words with Christopher Nolan, Kevin felt somewhat relieved after learning that Christopher Nolan was his little fanboy.

Then Christopher Nolan was sent away, and he was signed, settled, and then came back to organize the film crew of Memento.

・・・

Early the next morning, in the Los Angeles Studios.

The premiere of Hurricane Rescue begins.

All kinds of interviews went through a routine process.

This movie, starring lineup, is really not luxurious, there is not much to say.

The focus of the media is why Jet Li, a Chinese, can be favored by Steve Kevin.

Again, in the United States, the more you emphasize something, the more serious the discrimination behind it.

In terms of tolerance, the United States and the mainland are far behind.

What human rights are emphasized every day, in fact, they are the places where human rights are the least emphasized.

In America, only the upper classes have human rights.

The general public, not people.

Discrimination is everywhere.

White first class, black second class, other colored people third class, Chinese fourth class.

This is basically the caste system in America.

Although it is not marked by gender as in India, this kind of discrimination according to race and ethnicity has always existed.

Kevin is also fortunate that he did not start from scratch in the United States as a Chinese.

Otherwise, he would not have the status he has now.

A Chinese can be a great director at most.

Once he imagined that he would head towards capital, there would be no bones left.

On the contrary, because he is both white, and because Kevin understands the benefits in the early stage, he used the blessing of other capital to avoid various disasters in the early stage.

That’s how it got to this point.

Li Lianjie was harassed by the media in various ways. Kevin did not go out immediately.

He was able to help Jet Li for a while, but he couldn’t help Jet Li I.

In his previous life, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and Kevin believes that he can do the same in this life.

In fact, Jet Li’s face turned green when he was asked.

Also known for his kung fu, Bruce Lee, also known as Bruce Lee, conquered Hollywood.

Then Li Lianjie was asked the most by the media, that is, comparing him to Bruce Lee.

Although he is very confident, he can’t be compared with Bruce Lee at all, but he is unwilling to make him soft-spoken.

Therefore, the questions asked by the media are often hesitant.

This makes the interview effect greatly reduced.

“Mr. Jet Li, do you think you are worthy of the lead role in this movie directed by Steve Kevin?”

“Will the hurricane rescue be the beginning of Steve Kevin’s Waterloo?”

Some reporters raised sharp questions, one questioned that he was not worthy of being the protagonist of Steve Kevin’s film.

Second, there are doubts about the film.

This undoubtedly hit Jet Li’s sore spot.

He also knows that hurricane rescue is crucial to his success in Hollywood.

The film failed, and he was about to get out of Hollywood immediately.

No way, who made this a Steve Kevin movie.

Steve Kevin, who has never failed, will not only affect his prestige if he fails.

The actor of that movie will end his career directly.

After all, this is a Steve Kevin movie, and if it fails, even if it’s just a tiny piece of the black pot, it’s not something the actors can afford.

A box-office poison title can’t get away.

It will be considered one of the culprits of **** up the movie.

Therefore, Li Lianjie could not hear this.

He has this kind of worry in his heart, and now it’s being brought out to say, who would accept it.

Jet Li’s complexion changed, and he said unhappily:

“Director Steve Kevin chose me, this is the trust in me, I believe in Director Kevin’s vision, and I also believe in myself, worthy of the position of the protagonist.”

“Hurricane rescue will only succeed, not fail!”

After saying this, there is basically no turning back.

The hurricane rescue failed at the box office, and he could get out of Hollywood in a daze.

It seems to be his answer to the satisfaction of the media.

This is the end of the interview.

It can be expected that these words will become arrogant words under the rendering of the media.

For example, a mainlander, who had a bad luck, came to the United States and was lucky enough to be selected by director Steve Kevin, and he was not only low-key, but also very arrogant.

This kind of propaganda is indispensable.

The media all over the world loves to make things happen.

If the box office fails, this kind of discourse will be overwhelming.

And with box office success, that discourse becomes self-confidence.

After the interview session is over.

It is the high-level appearance of the investor.

The familiar Robinoff once again came to the premiere of Steve Kevin’s film.

As a film jointly invested by both parties, Warner Times has a 25% investment share, which is to give up the later income and deduct an extra 5% share from Kevin.

Chapter 365 Hurricane Rescue Premiere

Of course, they can’t give up if they want to.

Who doesn’t know Steve Kevin’s movies, investing is making money.

If it weren’t for his previous behavior, he won Kevin’s trust, repaired the relationship a little bit, and if Kevin had a little demand for Time Warner.

This investment share is really not sent.

But now that Kevin has changed his mind and no longer eats alone, Warner Bros. has a different attitude towards the morning movie.

At the very least, there is no stumbling block, and at the same time, in some cases that do not affect their own interests, they can help.

That’s what Kevin is here for.

Fox, Paramount, and Warner Bros., Kevin will share a small portion of the profits to them, ensuring that they can eat meat from themselves, but they are not full.

In this way, these giants will not do anything wrong, and at the same time, they can also help Kevin resist external pressure to a certain extent.

This makes the development of Chenxi Films much smoother.

This is also related to the change in Kevin’s thinking.

At the beginning, what Kevin pursued was to give up profits when he was weak, so that he could quickly accumulate capital, and even let himself become capital.

After growing up to a certain level, Kevin began to eat alone.

But after eating alone, Kevin found it difficult.

Resistance from all parties came. In the end, what Kevin chose was to get acquainted with a few capitals and give up a small part of the profit.

In exchange for the stable development of the company.

Stabilize the fundamentals of Hollywood.

At the same time, Kevin has only three goals for the subsequent external development.

Facebook, Apple and Netflix.

Some other big companies have either already started, or they are not qualified to participate.

Although he is already a billionaire, his entire net worth is tens of billions.

But Microsoft in this era has a market value of hundreds of billions.

A nearly trillion-dollar market.

This is unmatched by a mere Hollywood company.

Yes.

Kevin also discovered the shortcomings of Hollywood only after he got up by himself.

To put it bluntly, the overall plate of Hollywood is not big enough.

Even if it develops into later generations, Hollywood giants will have a market value of billions of dollars.

It’s not too small, but compared with those large enterprises that are in the hundreds of billions or trillions, they are not qualified.

Of course, the Hollywood spin-off industry market is still quite large.

Not to mention the rest, just a Hogwarts theme park project, after it is really done, there must be a volume of tens of billions of dollars.

And Chenxi Movie itself has not broken through the tens of billions level so far.

Although the Hogwarts theme park is a derivative of Harry Potter, it has to be said that its market potential is much larger than that of the movie.

After realizing this, Kevin has been thinking of a way.

Netflix’s acquisition is one of them.

He doesn’t know how Netflix developed, but after the acquisition, he used the profit sharing to directly bind the original founder of Netflix.
