After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

The release in the Caribbean is known to everyone.

Of course they have.

This kind of masterpiece, after many subsequent sequels were released, there is no surprise, that is, the box office of the movie did not hit the street continuously.

This kind of authorized theme town will only become more and more influential.

If they don't take it early, there will be a lot of bleeding later.

...

A group of people hurried to the Disneyland headquarters with the collected data, and reported the data they collected and the evaluation they made.

This kind of exaggerated data instantly got the attention of Disneyland executives.

After some discussion, Disney immediately made a decision to win the project regardless of the cost.

Although this project may be just icing on the cake for themselves, but in the hands of other large amusement parks, it is a sharp ax for themselves.

Led by Jewitt, the team went to the copyright owner of Pirates of the Caribbean, Dawn Entertainment, to discuss the authorization of Pirates of the Caribbean.

-------------------------------------

Dawn Films.

conference room.

Kevin and Dawson faced a group of professionals from the amusement park company behind the Six Flags theme park in Illinois.

"How about it? We, Six Flags Entertainment, are very sincere and are willing to directly pay [-] million US dollars for the license of Pirates of the Caribbean."

The headed bald man showed a face that we are so generous.

Looking forward to Kevin's response to his words.

Disney’s mechanism, and some amusement park companies have also followed suit. It is under such circumstances that many people know about the current impact of Pirates of the Caribbean on the flow of Pirates of the Caribbean town.

Six Flags, as one of the top three amusement park companies in the United States, was the first to approach Kevin to negotiate licensing.

Facing the [-] million dollars quoted by the bald man.

Kevin just smiled lightly and wrote lightly:

"A mere $[-] million, do you think you can get the authorization of Pirates of the Caribbean?"

The bald man suddenly changed his face.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Two hundred million dollars, and at the same time about 10% of the net profit of this project."

Kevin directly stated his psychological price.

Originally, Kevin planned to keep this authorization in his hands and operate a theme park by himself.

After all, with so many Marvel IPs in the future, building a theme park is the best way to make money.

However, when he inquired about the specific requirements of the amusement park project, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Amusement park projects are different from ordinary projects. They need to involve a lot of things to deal with the US government departments, and they also need huge funds.

The construction of the future Shanghai Disneyland amusement park cost more than 55 billion US dollars. Even if it is not that expensive in this era, more than 20 billion US dollars is also indispensable.

Only then did Kevin give up his plan to build an amusement park by himself.

Chapter 88 Authorization fee of [-] million dollars

"This is impossible!"

Two hundred million US dollars is not a big problem for Six Flags, which is qualified to operate an amusement park.

But if you want to get your hands on the share of the amusement park, that's just wishful thinking.

This is the taboo of any amusement park company, and no one is allowed to touch it.

boom!

The door was pushed open impolitely.

"We Disney agreed!"

Jewitt, who broke in, seemed to have heard Kevin's opinion just now, and agreed directly.

The two little beauties at the front desk arrived later, and said with aggrieved faces:

"They broke in, my sister and I couldn't stop..."

"It's okay, you go back to the front desk first."

Kevin waved his hand and told them to go back to the front desk, and at the same time muttered in his heart that he had to hire some security guards.

But the current situation is not a bad thing.

After giving up his plan to build an amusement park, Kevin naturally thought about his plan to sell Pirates of the Caribbean.

And the one who can offer the highest price is naturally only Disney.

As the only giant in the amusement park, the price they can offer is unmatched by other amusement parks.

The two little girls at the front desk left and closed the door by the way.

By this time, the atmosphere in the office suddenly changed.

In the face of Disney's ferocious attack, the people of Six Flags are somewhat guilty.

In terms of strength, background, and money, they are no match for Disney.

If a project is targeted by them, there is a high probability that Six Flags will not be able to compete.

After sitting down, Jewitt continued to say just now:

"They, Six Flags, are only willing to pay $10 million for the license of Pirates of the Caribbean, but we, Disney, are willing to pay $[-] million, plus [-]% of the net profit of the Caribbean project you proposed."

"I think there shouldn't be much doubt about who to choose, Director Kevin?"

The people from Six Flags immediately interjected:

"We, Six Flags, are willing to pay [-] million US dollars in cash, plus the same profit share."

In fact, everyone can see the prospect of Pirates of the Caribbean.

The Disney family is not the only one who visits a Caribbean town.

The previous [-] million was just a low price to take advantage of it.

They didn't expect Disney to come so fast, and they were caught off guard.

Seeing the price offered by Disney, they discussed it internally, gritted their teeth, and directly quoted the highest price they could offer.

It would be great if they could win it, but if they couldn't win it, it wouldn't hurt Disney to bleed a little more.

Seeing that Six Flags made another bid, Jewitt wrote lightly:

"Disney paid 10 million plus [-]% of the net profit to buy the Pirates of the Caribbean license!"

"You~."

The people from Six Flags were speechless for a moment, they turned around and left Chenxi Entertainment.

With Disney's offer, Six Flags has no hope of winning the Pirates of the Caribbean project. There is really no need to stay here to embarrass yourself.

Seeing their leaving backs, Jewett just smiled faintly.

For Disneyland, maintaining its status as the only giant is the most important thing.

As long as the status is not shaken, the billions of dollars in annual income will surely fall into Disney's pocket.

For this reason, paying [-] million U.S. dollars is actually not a big problem.

This means that other amusement parks cannot obtain such high-quality projects as Pirates of the Caribbean.

They will be able to continue to occupy the largest share of the amusement park market.

Even Kevin was a little surprised by the amount quoted by Disney.

Although he is very sure that Disney will never lose money because of this project, but Disney can have such a vision in advance, which shows that their success is not in vain.

Seeing the competitor leave, Jewitt said again:

"Director Kevin, Disney is willing to pay this price for Pirates of the Caribbean, but there are a few conditions. I don't know if you can agree."

As soon as Kevin heard it, he knew that the drama was coming.

The key point is the latter conditions. If you can agree, the previous price will naturally be no problem.

If you can't agree, the price will be greatly reduced.

These are common skills in business negotiations, and Kevin knows it well.

"What conditions?"

"Number one, Pirates of the Caribbean must have more than four sequels."

Jewitt put forward this condition, but also for the influence of this IP.

Multiple sequels can maximize the influence of Pirates of the Caribbean, and for Disney, it can make the IP last longer.

Kevin pondered for a moment and said:

"That's certainly not a problem, I have plans for Pirates of the Caribbean, longer, more than four sequels are absolutely fine."

Zhu Yite nodded and continued:

"The second condition is that the box office of each film must not be less than US$[-] million, and the interval between filming of each film shall not exceed five years."

Kevin nodded again. These two conditions are actually not too much.

"I agree."

"it is good!"

Kevin agreed very happily, and Jewitt naturally didn't get entangled.

The people who made the decisions on both sides had settled the matter, and the rest of the details were naturally handed over to the subordinates and lawyers, who would slowly discuss it.

After the work here was over, Kevin ordered Dawson to find some editors to adapt the script of Pirates of the Caribbean into a novel to expand its influence.

Since becoming the boss, Kevin has also learned a little bit about the operation behind the movie.

After a movie explodes, novels, animations, TV dramas, comics and a series of means to expand the influence of IP can be used.

Only by accumulating many aspects can the IP of Pirates of the Caribbean truly last for a long time.

.....

Naturally, such a huge amount of transactions cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

The news that Pirates of the Caribbean earned [-] million US dollars in licensing fees alone quickly spread in Hollywood, and Steve Kevin once again became the favorite among countless actresses.

A big director who is rich, has status, and can make people famous, no female star would want to take him as her own.

Even Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie, the two people who have the most scandals with Kevin, have been hated by other actresses.

However, the second daughter didn't feel uncomfortable, but enjoyed the feeling of being hated.

On the other hand, as an investor, Warner has started discussions on this.

...

Warner Bros., internal high-level meeting.

A white male with a full face said dissatisfiedly:

"Robinoff, how could you let Steve Kevin alone occupy so many copyrights of Pirates of the Caribbean."

"As an investor with 30% of the investment, we should also get 30% of the income of all copyrights of Pirates of the Caribbean, instead of only 1% of the copyright income of Pirates of the Caribbean 30."

"Disney's licensing fee, [-] million US dollars should be ours."

In the words, the color of greed is full.

Other executives also expressed their views on this matter.
