After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

The implication of the words is that Robinov was accused of giving up this part of the copyright interest.

As the president, Robinov also became angry, and said bluntly:

"Do you think Steve Kevin is still a young director?"

"If we don't invest, won't he find someone else to invest, does he really think he lacks the 3000 million investment?"

"Wake up, it's because Steve Kevin's influence in Hollywood is too small, so he shared the profits, in order to reduce trouble in Hollywood."

"I can tell you very clearly that if we don't invest in Pirates of the Caribbean, he can always find Universal, [-]th Century Fox and other Hollywood film companies to cooperate with."

"What we can give him, others can also give him. Do you really think that Warner Bros. is indispensable to him?"

Robinov's words finally woke up these executives.

No one is a fool to be able to reach this high position, but they were temporarily blinded by the huge benefits before.

However, the white male with a full face has an unwilling face:

"Could it be that the copyright proceeds of Pirates of the Caribbean are given to him for nothing?"

Robinov sighed and said:

"I still underestimated Steve Kevin."

"Although I expected the big sales of Pirates of the Caribbean, the copyright of Pirates of the Caribbean would be so valuable. This is something I never thought of."

"However, we are not completely without opportunities."

The white man with a fleshy face asked:

"what chance."

Robinov glanced at everyone present and said:

"The copyright of Pirates of the Caribbean does not belong to him, Steve Kevin, but to Dawn Films, and we can fully invest in his Dawn Entertainment,"

"Once he gets the shares, with our Warner's size, he, the creator of Dawn Films, will be kicked out by us sooner or later."

"As for when to drive out, it depends on Steve Kevin, how long the benefits brought to us can be maintained."

Warner executives, upon hearing these words, showed a sudden realization expression.

When it comes to their ability to make movies, they don't deserve to lift Steve Kevin's shoes.

But when it comes to the operation of the company and the handling of finance, Steve Kevin is completely a layman in their eyes.

As long as they are allowed to take part in the shares, Chenxi Film Company is the meat on their cutting board, and they will be slaughtered.

Everyone laughed in unison, and they no longer coveted Steve Kevin's copyright.

In other words, this covetousness is hidden deeper.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already two months after Pirates of the Caribbean was released.

So far, the North American box office amount of Pirates of the Caribbean has come out.

A total of 5000 million U.S. dollars in the total box office in the United States completely robbed the wallets of the audience, and also created the highest box office of a movie that has been released this year.

To some extent, Pirates of the Caribbean has pre-booked NO.1994 on the North American box office list in 1.

Of course, the credit for this is ultimately Kevin's second creation, which strengthened Captain Jack Sparrow's position in Pirates of the Caribbean 1.

And publicity resources of up to 2000 million US dollars.

Only then did it surpass the original Pirates of the Caribbean's North American box office of 5000 million US dollars by [-] million US dollars.

The original Forrest Gump's box office performance of 3000 million U.S. dollars was 3000 million U.S. dollars less than Kevin's Pirates of the Caribbean.

It only got a box office score of 3 million in North America, although it is still very beautiful.

But after all, it has achieved as high as 5000 million US dollars with Kevin's Pirates of the Caribbean. Kevin's popular masterpiece still defeated the American spirit of Forrest Gump.

Kevin came to Warner with a happy mood.

He also has some ideas for his new movie, and is about to discuss it with Warner.

...

"Kevin, here you come!"

Robinov still had a familiar smile, but the keen Kevin found that compared with before, Robinov's smile lacked a little sincerity.

However, Kevin remained calm on the surface, but he was just on guard in his heart in advance.

"I happen to have something to do with you."

Before Kevin could express his intentions, Robinov pulled him directly into the reception room.

On the side, Robinov's newly appointed beautiful secretary bent down to pour iced coffee for the two of them. The low-cut dress almost fully exposed the front scenery in front of Kevin.

Kevin couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up, as expected, he can play in the city.

After the secretary poured the coffee and left, Robinov said slowly:

"Kevin, you came to Warner because of the new movie, right?"

"Yes, I have a new film plan. I am here this time to ask, will Warner continue to invest?"

Although it was a question, Kevin's face was full of confidence.

Indeed, Kevin couldn't think of the possibility of someone rejecting his investment. Investing in his movies is to make money, and unless you are a fool, you will give up this opportunity.

"Of course, how could we refuse to invest in the new movie of Oscar-winning director Steve Kevin?"

First answered Kevin's words, then Robinov suddenly asked:

"Kevin, does your Chenxi Film Company have any financing plans?"

These words that came out of nowhere immediately aroused Kevin's vigilance.

But on the surface, Kevin didn't react abnormally, he just shook his head casually and said:

"I'm not short of money. Disney just gave me [-] million US dollars. What am I doing for financing?"

Robinov immediately refuted Kevin's words:

"Financing is not just for money, but more for everyone to better integrate resources."

"Just like Pirates of the Caribbean, if the copyright of Pirates of the Caribbean is handed over to Warner to operate, Disney will pay far more than 3 million US dollars and 10% of the pure profit share."

Kevin sneered in his heart.

In the business field, there are indeed only permanent interests, but no permanent friends.

He has worked with Warner for so long and helped Warner earn hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

Unexpectedly, it was just that he used the copyright of Pirates of the Caribbean to sell a wave of money, and he was immediately targeted by Warner.

He was very clear about the means of capital in his previous life.

Once Hua is included in the shares, Chenxi Film Company is not what he decides.

Kevin has already made a decision in his heart, that is, his company will only accept retail investors even if it goes public later.

And absolutely do not accept the investment of these giants.

Otherwise, the two lifebloods of Marvel and Chenxi movies will fall into the hands of others sooner or later.

Chapter 90 Kevin's Counterattack

"I don't need it for the time being. When Chenxi Films needs funds, let's think about financing."

Kevin refused again.

Robinov's face clearly showed displeasure.

But Kevin pretended not to see it, and instead had other ideas in his mind.

Originally, he was planning to shoot the Fast and Fierce series, but Warner's play made him suddenly want to cheat Warner in his heart.

As a director, Kevin definitely wants to start with movies.

After some thought, a movie project he had considered before suddenly appeared in his mind.

That is the Batman that Warner regards as a treasure.

Batman has always been Warner's favorite. Since 1989, Warner has started filming Batman.

In 92, he filmed the sequel of Batman, Batman Returns, and achieved a box office score of more than 2 million US dollars.

However, in terms of the production cost of Batman's return of 8000 million US dollars, it is not profitable. Of course, Warner will definitely not lose money due to the subsequent copyright income.

But obviously, I am a little sorry for Batman, the most well-known IP in the United States.

At the same time, the bad reputation also made Warner decide to suspend the Batman series directed by Tim Burton.

But Kevin knew that they didn't give up.

In the original history, just next year, a Batman movie will be released again.

And in this movie, there are two actors who are familiar to the people of China.

Tom Cruise's wife, a Batman-loving character played by Nicole Kidman, and the Riddler played by Jim Carrey.

It was also through this movie that Kevin thought from his heart that Jim Carrey was the only actor suitable to play the clown.

His control of the face, the transformation of his demeanor.

Every point is like the incarnation of the clown in the real world.

This reminded Kevin of Hong Kong's Stephen Chow, who was also a comedian, but their acting skills surpassed the actor's.

Beyond the realm of ordinary people.

A great comedian must be the best actor.

But now that Kevin is here, it will definitely be Batman's most classic Dark Knight trilogy.

Although this trilogy will make Warner a lot of money, it will also drag Warner's thoughts on DC into an endless abyss.

Now that Warner wants to shoot him, Kevin has nothing to say.

The trilogy was filmed in advance, and Warner's thoughts on DC were completely dragged into darkness, and he could never get up again.

It just so happens that Kevin doesn't intend to follow Marvel's original program slowly and destroy Warner's DC first.

In this way, his Marvel can grow outstandingly ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, it would be bad for Warner to copy homework and create an enemy out of thin air.

"Robinoff, I want to shoot a different Batman!"

Kevin said bluntly.

"You want to shoot Batman?"

Facing Kevin's sudden thought, Robinov was very astonished.

Batman II, which was released two years ago, did not lose money, but it was obviously not very profitable. It also caused a major blow to the Batman series due to poor reputation.

Let Warner put aside his thoughts on the Batman series for the time being.

However, if it is Steve Kevin, it is not impossible to consider.

We must know that Steve Kevin has sold four consecutive movies, and the Batman filmed by him has a very high chance of being a big hit as well.

The most important thing is that the copyright of Batman is in their hands, just like the Pirates of the Caribbean in Kevin's hands.

After the filming is completed, apart from the simple box office, the majority of the proceeds behind it are still theirs.

The only problem is that Kevin is definitely not the kind of person who only receives a salary, and there is a high probability that he will bring money into the group.

However, compared with the income, it is not bad.

"Yes, but you need to give us a complete plan, and after the consideration of Warner's senior management, you can shoot."

"Also, Batman allows you to bring up to 30% of the capital into the group, and you can only be one investor at the same time."

"As for copyright benefits, Warner will give you, but like Pirates of the Caribbean, you can only enjoy part of the copyright benefits."

In view of Kevin's brilliant record, Robinov still gave him 30% of the investment. Of course, the crucial copyright and authorization are still in the hands of Warner.

"Robinov, I have a special idea."
