After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 254



Chapter 254:

This is actually not a loss.

Otherwise, Kevin himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to develop the copyright market for these movies until he is old and dead.

This is equivalent to exchanging money for time. For Kevin, it is a great value. After all, he only has the memory of a prophet for more than 20 years.

And now is 2000, that is to say, he has been a prophet for about twenty-two or three years.

It can be said that these twenty years are the growth period of his career.

What it can grow into in these 20 years, the future will basically be shaped.

Kevin also knows this in his heart. Except for the prophet, there is a big difference between him and those heavenly people, whether it is the ability or the resources behind him.

Taking advantage of his own advantages and developing at the fastest speed is the way for Kevin to go.

After the three of them were quiet, Kevin smiled and looked around, saying:

“Do you want to join the big family of the Marvel Universe?”

Kevin, who had completely thought about it, had nothing to give up.

Come up directly and sacrifice the big IP of the Marvel Universe.

Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, in twenty years, can always be developed slowly.

Twenty years is not enough for Marvel alone.

Of course, the infinite universe behind it is even bigger.

Now that La Paramount, Fox, and Warner Times have entered the game, they will be able to add their movie library to the infinite universe, thereby expanding the copyright library of the infinite universe.

It can be said that Kevin’s current actions are one after another, just waiting for them to fall into the trap.

The three of them looked at each other at the same time, and 10,000 thoughts passed through their minds.

They never imagined that Kevin would even let Marvel let them intervene.

This····

With Marvel, who wants Pirates of the Caribbean?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe project has been discovered by the industry since three films were released.

All the film companies are astonished at Steve Kevin’s brain circuit, how he can come up with such an amazing idea.

They have also studied it and want to recreate the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But after careful investigation, they found that all this is almost impossible.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has a long-standing mass base.

Some of these superheroes have grown up with generations.

At the same time, the Marvel universe itself has the basis for building the movie universe. These superheroes often appear together in comics.

After knowing this, people found that apart from Dawn Movies, there is only one movie company that has the ability to build a movie universe.

That’s right, it’s Warner Bros.

The DC Universe is simply a replica of the natural Marvel Universe.

It is a pity that Warner Bros.’s series of operations are really a joke, and they have lost hundreds of millions of dollars after losing again and again.

At the same time, other film companies have also recognized the movie universe, and it seems that it is not so simple to construct.

The thoughts that had arisen in my heart were also dispelled.

The simple understanding is that Kevin’s Marvel Cinematic Universe was about to set off the popularity of the movie universe, but the painful experience of Warner Bros. made people give up this idea.

Among the three, the most shocked is naturally Robinov.

He never expected that Kevin would be willing to develop the copyright of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is of great significance to Warner Bros.

No one wants to know more about Marvel than Warner Bros.

They have the conditions for perfect reproduction, but they have not been able to do it.

Except for the two Batman Dark Knight films, which were directed by Kevin, the other one lost more than one.

Now there is an opportunity to participate in Marvel’s film production, even if it doesn’t make money, Robinoff is willing to do so.

He wanted to replicate these things in the DC universe after learning about Marvel’s filming.

If it wasn’t for the loss, to be honest, who would want to cooperate with Bowei for nothing.

With the size of Time Warner, eating the DC universe is not a problem at all, the problem is that they have no ability to develop.

The first step in development is to make money for the movie.

The film has been losing money, and the influence it brings is nothing.

Only a big box office hit will this IP leave a deep impression on people.

In the DC universe, except for Batman, the others have simply shot one and ruined the other. The DC that has done it now doesn’t dare to link up, and only dares to shoot superhero movies one by one.

For example, in The Flash, it only involves the villains in the Flash, and has nothing to do with Superman, Batman and the like.

“Kevin, what do you have to do to get Warner Bros. to participate in the production of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?”

Robinov said with a serious look.

I was very nervous.

“Yes, Kevin, you are even willing to open up the copyright of Marvel, which makes us a little unbelievable. Everyone knows what Marvel means to Chenxi movies and to you.”

The other two also spoke.

Facing the inquiries of the three, Kevin said indifferently:

“On the conditions just now, that’s it.”

“Of course, the copyright has nothing to do with you. What you can enjoy is only a small portion of the peripheral share and box office profits.”

“Here, I would like to say that each company has only one chance. If the box office fails, it automatically loses the follow-up shooting rights of the film.”

Kevin’s condition is not only not harsh, but also very loose.

Judging from the current popularity of the Marvel Universe, as long as the director is not sick, losses are almost impossible.

In the previous life, the reason why so many movies lost money was actually the biggest reason for the inflation of actors’ remuneration.

Leaving aside the rest, as far as the salary of Robert Downey Jr., from the first Iron Man, he only took me $500,000, to the Avengers III, he won $100,000,000. .

How much pressure this brings to the film’s profitability, I understand it naturally.

In Marvel, such actors abound.

In the later stage, a reunion, the appearance fee of the actors will almost drain the production fee, which makes Marvel have to make additional investment.

In the later stage, it is even more prepared to push down all the old actors and replace them with new ones.

To be honest, anyone who thinks clearly knows that the film company will never change roles on the premise that the film can make money.

The reason why the film company changed roles is that there is only one, and they can’t afford to pay.

And the actors said they didn’t want to act in various ways, but in fact, they were all for the sake of saving face. Who doesn’t know, it’s all because of the remuneration.

Chapter 372 Assumptions

A movie is worth 100 million US dollars, and if it is not made, it will not be made.

What is enough acting? Isn’t this deceiving fans? Anyone with a normal mind should think about it and understand that the film company can’t afford the salary, and the actors are not willing to reduce the salary.

If it is only a salary of 20 million US dollars, as long as it is in the Marvel Universe, Robert Downey Jr. will always be worth this price.

Unfortunately, Robert Downey Jr. is not satisfied, and Marvel also feels that he is a burden.

Not only him, but a series of well-known main characters in Marvel, such as Thor, Captain America, etc., have inflated their remuneration to the level of superstars.

In the end, Marvel really had no choice but to make a comeback, replace all the old characters, and start a new journey for Marvel.

Of course, everyone knows what happens next.

Since then, Marvel has been obsessed and has never looked back on the politically correct path.

The results are getting worse and worse.

Knowing why the Marvel Universe is getting worse and worse, Kevin made his own efforts early on.

Among them, trying to limit the growth rate of the salary has become a very important thing.

Robert Downey Jr., the original Iron Man invited him to play, gave him a salary of 500,000 yuan, and this opportunity was also his friend, Terrence Howard, who played the war machine in the film.

This actor, although not really a big name, is actually the biggest name among the Iron Man at that time.

Relying on this relationship, Robert Downey Jr. got this opportunity.

Therefore, it is not necessarily how much Marvel values him, but it is thanks to the help of his friend.

In the absence of the grace of knowing, there is absolutely no reason for Robert Downey Jr. to lower his worth.

Of course, this is all original history.

Now, Kevin pulled Downey out of the quagmire at the beginning of the game, completely staying away from drugs, and at the same time gave him a salary that was higher than his worth, showing some kindness to him.

Plus the brotherhood between brothers.

As well as the agreed increase in advance, this can control the increase in the salary to the greatest extent.

As long as the remuneration of the main characters in the Avengers is not too outrageous, then the life force of the Marvel Universe in Kevin’s hands is much stronger than before.

“Since Director Kevin is so sincere, then on behalf of Fox, I will reach a cooperation with you, Director Kevin, in advance!”

“On behalf of Paramount, I also agree to collaborate on the Marvel Universe and Dawn Movies.”

Robinov, who was on the side, saw the expressions of these two people and quickly interjected:

“We, Warner Bros., are also willing to reach an in-depth cooperation with Dawn Movies on the Marvel Universe.”,

Kevin has already made the profit to this point, and they have no reason not to agree.

After confirming the partnership, the next step is the main event.

“Director Kevin, regarding the Marvel copyright, how should we cooperate next?”

“Give us a single superhero, or develop a new line of superheroes?”

Robinov asked first.

At present, Marvel, there are not many ways of cooperation, or the superhero series that have already been released, their family is responsible for one by two.

Or continue to pick other characters and join the Marvel universe.

Like Thor in the comics.

The comics came out earlier than the movies, and the plans of the Avengers have also begun to emerge.

For these studios, the steps in the Marvel Universe movie plan are actually very clear.

With Spider-Man as the beginning of Marvel, Iron Man as the core of the reunion, step by step to move each hero to the big screen.

At the same time, the major heroes made cameo appearances with each other, and at the same time outlined a special organization such as S.H.I.E.L.D., and finally passed a major event, a disaster that a single superhero could not solve.

Force many superheroes to gather together and fight against the disaster together.

Everyone understands this plan.

In fact, DC has taken this path before, but except for Batman, other superhero movies have not been successful, which is embarrassing.

The first movie of each superhero is not suitable for interspersed with other content. This movie needs to create a successful superhero image.

Generally speaking, the second or even third part will be interspersed with other superhero content.

The first one is just a hint at most through a few shots.

But none of the movies were successful, and the so-called movie universe is naturally a bunch of nonsense.

“Developing new superheroes.”

“Currently preparing to shoot, but not yet appearing, there are Hulk, Thor, Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Captain America, Ant-Man, Captain Marvel… these superheroes.”

“A film company can take over two superhero projects. When shooting, it needs to communicate with other people and work together to contribute to the Marvel Universe. There can be no conflicting situations, and the plot must be coordinated.”

“…”
