After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

...

In the villa, Kevin was reading the news in the newspaper.

Since appearing on Oprah's talk show, there has suddenly been a lot of support for Escape from Deadly Town, especially the most famous black movie stars.

Famous black movie stars such as Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, and Samuel L. Jackson uniformly published news in the newspapers supporting Kevin's escape from Deadly Town.

After Kevin clearly set up equal rights for himself, and the protagonist of the movie is indeed black.

As a result, these black movie stars uniformly expressed their support for Kevin.

Chapter 41 Celebration Party

Although these black movie stars may not have much box office appeal, their countless classic roles in movie history still add a layer of authoritative labels to them.

Their joint recommendation greatly influenced a group of movie fans.

Under such circumstances, it took a week for the North American box office of Escape from Deadly Town to break through hundreds of millions of dollars.

Under such circumstances, Warner Bros. decisively held a party to celebrate and reward these creators who escaped from Deadly Town.

Except for Kevin who only participated in the Oprah talk show, everyone else did a lot of publicity for Get Out.

The busiest of them all was Will Smith.

He was almost exhausted these days. He was running publicity campaigns in major black communities, movie theaters and the media every day, and he only slept about five hours a day.

However, the results are still very gratifying. In just one week, the North American box office exceeded [-] million US dollars.

This makes Will Smith have a crooked smile every day.

There's no way, it's impossible for him to be unhappy.

The first movie with a male protagonist was an immediate hit. With a production cost of 300 million US dollars, it created a North American box office of over [-] million.

This box office has undoubtedly entered the ranks of the top ten movie box office rankings of the year.

This also means that escaping from Jueming Town is considered a small feat.

And he, Will Smith, also became the hero of a movie with a box office of [-] million yuan, and instantly became the darling of Hollywood.

...

The time came ten days after the movie was released.

"Julie, am I handsome in this outfit?"

Looking at himself in a black casual suit in the mirror, Kevin is very confident.

The skin of this body, I have to say, is really handsome.

It is no less than Keanu Reeves when he was young, and he is also six or seven points similar to Xiao Lizi.

"handsome!"

Julie is also very sexy and attractive. If it is not for the party, Kevin would not mind having an extra meal.

In this regard, I have to say that European and American women are too fierce.

The two went out in a car and headed towards Hollywood.

It's about an hour's drive from Beverly Hills to Hollywood, and the party will be held at 8 o'clock in the evening. They are leaving now and can arrive a little earlier.

...

After an hour's drive, the two came to a hotel in Hollywood.

Warner Bros. booked the party for this party, and also invited some Hollywood stars, as well as executives from other film companies.

Of course, what is indispensable is the female model who is trying to find the gold master in the party.

Kevin brought Julie to the party, and the handsome men and women were particularly eye-catching.

Several beautiful female motes secretly stared at Kevin, trying to find a chance to climb into his bed.

The last successful, woman by his side, Angelina Jolie.

motivating them to do so.

"These bitches, bitch."

Julie cursed secretly. When she came in, Kevin was chatting with the president of Warner, while she stood aside to prevent other Bichi from prying her.

These ready-to-movement models, one model dressed more than the other, completely aroused her sense of crisis in her heart.

Kevin is not a person who guards his body like a jade. She is very clear about this. If she doesn't pay attention, her current status as a female partner may not be stable.

If Julie's idea, let Kevin know, it will definitely be a big complaint.

If Julie is not Julie, but really just a small model, he really might not like her.

A director with two masterpieces can line up hundreds of meters if he needs a woman.

"Kevin, congratulations, your film project has been successful again. As a producer, director, screenwriter and investor, you have made a lot of money this time!"

Jeff Robinov congratulated with a smile on his face.

As president, Jeff Robinoff also has his own pressure. He must be responsible for Warner Bros.'s annual financial statements.

Once the financial statements are not good for two consecutive years, his position as president will not be stable.

Fortunately, Kevin brought him a huge surprise, and this year's financial statements have almost stabilized.

Escape from Deadly Town in May, and immediately in June, Batman Return, invested by Warner and filmed by Tim Burton, a talented director, will immediately follow.

With these two movies as a base, he doesn't have to worry about this year's financial statement.

"No, no, no, Warner Bros. is the biggest winner."

Kevin and New Line Films' investment can only obtain profits after the box office share, and the bulk of the subsequent copyright income is still in the hands of Warner Bros.

No way, although Kevin holds the copyright, channels are king.

Offline copyright development channels are not accessible to Kevin now.

As the copyright owner and investor, coupled with the multiple identities of the director and editor, Kevin can only get 30% of the follow-up copyright income.

Of course, the good thing is that Kevin doesn't have to worry about it, just lie down and collect the money.

But what can be expected is that the premise of all this is that he and Warner are in the honeymoon period now.

Once the two parties turn their faces, these follow-up income can be manipulated.

Jeff Robinov smiled and did not deny Kevin's statement.

Warner is the biggest beneficiary of this wave of investment.

However, this is also determined by the ecology of Hollywood. Films from non-big five film companies, without these corresponding channels, even if the quality is sufficient, it is far from possible to achieve such results.

It is also very difficult for Escape from Deadly Town if it is only released by New Line, let alone Escape from Deadly Town, which is released by Warner and is far from the upper limit.

From the very beginning, Kevin thought very clearly that the quality of the film is one thing, but the distribution is another.

In the early stage of development, he could completely give up some of his benefits in exchange for gaining a firm foothold in Hollywood.

And all of this was as he expected.

"win-win!"

Jeff Robinov raised his glass with a smile, and then said:

"Kevin, have fun, this is a party for you!",

After all, he floated away.

The so-called party was originally a celebration at public expense.

Of course, there must be a suitable reason to hold a party.

But the result of escaping from Jue Ming Town can stop everyone's mouths.

..

While Kevin and Julie were networking and enjoying the food at the party, Harvey Weinstein reappeared.

As soon as he appeared, he raised his wine glass and approached Kevin very enthusiastically.

"Director Kevin, congratulations, you have successfully escaped from Deadly Town again."

Apparently, with the success of Kevin's second film, Harvey Weinstein can no longer afford to treat junior directors with crap.

Chapter 42

Kevin is like a gold mine at this time, and everyone wants to get some of the benefits.

So did Harvey Weinstein.

Two consecutive movies made money, which means that Kevin has this kind of strength, and the probability of his next movie making money is also as high as 80%.

As long as he continues to shoot such low-cost horror films, he will never have to worry about investment.

Harvey Weinstein, watching Warner Bros. and New Line Films making huge sums of money, said that he was not envious, that was a lie.

The purpose of coming to this party is to get a ride in Kevin's next movie.

In the face of Harvey Weinstein's overtures, Kevin couldn't directly slap him in the face, but just responded.

"Thank you!"

Kevin's repulsive appearance did nothing to stop Harvey Weinstein from taking advantage of him.

This is a business worth tens of millions of dollars. Compared with this, face is nothing.

Harvey Weinstein forced his way to Kevin's side, and said earnestly with a look of doing your best:

"Kevin, you just entered Hollywood, not long ago, so I don't know something about it."

"In Hollywood, Oscar is the fastest way for you to become a great director."

Kevin nodded. Although he didn't like Harvey Weinstein, he also admitted that this made sense.

Without the recognition of awards, many classic works are needed to become a great director.

But if he is recognized by an award like an Oscar, there are two or three classics, and he is promoted through the media, he will immediately become a great director.

No, this kind can only be regarded as a famous guide.

A big director also means a big production.

Having said that, Kevin thought about his next work again.

He made up his mind to come up with a big production of upper middle level.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to get recognized by big awards even if they make small noises every day.

Seeing the change in the expression on Kevin's face, Harvey Weinstein was suddenly overjoyed, and struck while the iron was hot:

"Work with me, Kevin."

"Miramax Films has rich experience in winning awards, and can help you win the Oscar for Best Director to the greatest extent."

"..."

While Harvey Weinstein was persuading Kevin eloquently, Leiter, the president of MGM in a suit and an elite white man, came in front of Kevin.

"Hello, Kevin, I'm Leiter, the president of MGM!"

There was a kind face on the white man's face, and his status was not low in Hollywood.

Rhett completely ignored Harvey Weinstein on the side, and said to himself:

"We can give you the conditions that Miramax can give you, and we can give you the conditions that they can't give."

Although Kevin didn't know Leiter in front of him, he knew that MGM would change its president after 93.

In other words, the president of MGM in front of him may step down directly next year.

So, he came to him to save MGM's performance?

With a dark face, Harvey Weinstein watched the president of MGM cut his beard.

To be honest, he was very angry about this situation, but MGM has a background that he can't match in Hollywood.

The former MGM, its lion logo, was once regarded as a symbol of the United States and created countless classics.
