After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Only those directors who focus on art films and literary films are the good directors they call.

The reason is simple, the ass decides the head.

Literary and artistic films generally do not have a high box office, and the box office height that film critics can determine, for literary and artistic films, there is a gap between life and death.

To put it simply, Wen Qing is a fool.

Most of the literary youth who watch literary and artistic films are easily led into the ditch by the words of film critics.

On the contrary, commercial blockbusters are completely different.

As far as a really big production is concerned, the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars is beyond the control of ordinary film critics. Even if the film critics unanimously sing the bad news, it will cause a loss of tens of millions of dollars at most.

It is not a matter of life and death.

Of course, very few film critics do this. You must know that rashly publishing bad reviews on big productions of big companies will have very serious consequences.

This will lead to strong counterattacks from big companies. As far as the media forces behind these big Hollywood companies are concerned, it is not too easy to block an ordinary film critic.

You know, most of the film critics are dependent on a certain, perhaps multiple newspapers exist.

If these big companies say a word, the newspaper may not accept the manuscript directly.

No matter how good a film review is, it is meaningless if there is no newspaper asking for it.

After all, the core income of film critics now is actually the red envelopes they get from helping film companies promote movies.

Those big film critics, one film review is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and earn more money, and the money is all given by the film company.

To take other people's money, you must recognize your identity.

...

When these film critics condemned Steve Kevin one after another, the famous film critic Roger Ebert looked at the other people who were disturbing him with a look of disdain on his face.

"A group of idiots who can't see the situation clearly."

Yes, that's what he said about this group of film critics.

In essence, film critics are actually parasites sucking the blood of film companies, and they rely on film companies for their existence.

Use your influence on the audience, or threaten, or accept bribes to earn the public relations funds paid by the film company.

This means that film critics are an absolutely disadvantaged group in front of film companies.

And Steve Kevin is no longer an ordinary director, but a major shareholder of MGM, and even a billionaire.

Do you really think others are easy to deal with?

Getting angry with Steve Kevin, the consequences are not that simple.

Roger Ebert has long made up his mind to praise Steve Kevin a lot in the media and establish a good relationship in advance.

He had a hunch that Steve Kevin would definitely be a great figure in Hollywood in the future, and it was absolutely right to establish a good relationship in advance.

Under the hustle and bustle, the movie soon began to play.

In order to release the charm of the Dark Knight to the greatest extent, Warner will play the two parts of the Dark Knight at one time during the screening.

At the same time, in order to prevent the leak of the plot, Warner also signed extremely strict contracts with these film critics to prevent them from revealing the plot in advance.

Of course, these are inevitable.

Film critics also know this kind of rule, no one dares to offend, otherwise, let alone whether the profession of film critic can continue.

Just the film company claiming compensation from them with the contract is enough for them to live the worst life for the rest of their lives.

MGM once did this once, suing the film critic who revealed the plot to court, and successfully won the lawsuit.

And that well-known film critic directly chose to go bankrupt after paying all of MGM's net worth.

Directly reduced to a homeless man on the street.

Since then, all film critics, on the day they became film critics, kept this point firmly in their hearts.

...

The projectionist turned off the lights in the theater, and the film critics quickly quieted down. These people still have basic professionalism.

The movie screen lights up, and after Warner's classic WB credits, the movie begins.

"Bruce, we love you."

In the opening title, Batman's childhood nightmare is shown in front of these people's eyes in a quick flashback.

Everyone remained expressionless and continued watching the movie.

The birth of Batman is almost a well-known event. Among the past Batmans, this scene was not focused on filming.

What was Steve Kevin's purpose in portraying this scene?

The next moment, the nobleman-like Batman played by Christian Bale woke up from his manor.

The housekeeper Ah Fu came over and said worriedly:

"Bruce, are you having nightmares again?"

A flash of memory flashed in Bruce's eyes.

···

"This is Bruce? I can't take it!"

The movie has just started, and some people expressed their dissatisfaction immediately.

Kevin made a huge adjustment to the image of Batman, making Batman look more like a nobleman when he is not wearing a Batman suit.

The daily and combat image of Batman is completely separated.

This is obviously different from the Bruce in the comics, and there are naturally comic fans of DC comics among film critics.

Seeing this scene, he immediately questioned.

However, more film critics still stood still and watched the movie silently.

............

On the other side, Kevin is here. While Warner is preparing for the movie promotion, Kevin is busy with how to revitalize the Marvel Universe.

Although there is no such rush, it is definitely necessary to plan ahead.

You know, in the previous life, Marvel spent a full 12 years on the creation of the Marvel Universe.

Through as many as dozens of Marvel movies and TV comics, Marvel Earth-

-Universe 616.

And such an IP has brought Marvel tens of billions of dollars in revenue.

Chapter 110 Soliciting Stan Lee

The benefits are astonishing.

And through the IP of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, people realize that behind the big IP of Marvel, there is even a deep-seated value of hundreds of billions of value hidden.

As a result, Disney has become the only super giant in Hollywood.

Among them, the role of Marvel's original president Kevin Feige can be replaced by Kevin himself.

Of course, he will not let go of the talent of Kevin Feige.

On the other hand, there is a person who plays a vital role in creating the Marvel universe.

That is the core character of Marvel Comics, the author of the important and popular characters of Marvel such as X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and Hulk.

Stan Lee!

This name is known to anyone who has a little knowledge of Marvel.

Only by designing the Marvel Cinematic Universe can he create a flawless cinematic universe more perfectly.

The Marvel Universe in the previous life, in Kevin's view, had too many flaws, and many places couldn't justify itself.

In Kevin's view, the biggest reason is that, from the beginning, Marvel didn't think about this plan clearly.

The planning of the Marvel universe is slowly taking shape, and then it is perfected step by step.

In this way, many bugs will naturally be left behind.

What if all this was planned in advance?

With this in mind, Kevin learned of where Stan Lee lived from several old Marvel employees during these days.

Came to Stan Lee's residence in Los Angeles together with the bodyguards.

Looking at the single-family villa in front of him, Kevin stepped forward.

Ringing the doorbell, Kevin said politely to the intercom at the door:

"Hi, I'm the president of Marvel. I need to find Mr. Stan Lee. Is he there?"

After a while, a nanny with a mean face came out and looked at Kevin and the two bodyguards standing behind him with sharp eyes.

Yes, Kevin hired another bodyguard.

As Kevin's status in Hollywood is getting higher and higher, and he is getting richer and richer, in order to prevent being targeted by certain people, he will be robbed or kidnapped.

Kevin asked Chen Zhiwen to find a fellow from his hometown to be his bodyguard.

For safety, Kevin even spent money to get them a gun license. At this time, both of them carried at least two guns.

In this case, if something can happen.

Then it's useless for Kevin to be prepared, after all, he can't carry a special team with him.

Seemingly observing Kevin's good status, coupled with the deterrence of two burly bodyguards, the nanny's original mean expression eased, and her tone was flat:

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and talk to Mr. Stan Lee and see if he wants to see you."

Kevin smiled and took out a thousand dollars from his pocket and handed it over, adding:

"Please tell the old man that I came to him with something very important related to Marvel."

"The money···"

Under the temptation of a thousand dollars, the mean nanny's face was like a chrysanthemum blooming, smoothing away the mean face.

"Leave it to me. The old man will meet with you. Of course, I don't know if the specific things you want to talk about will succeed."

While speaking, the nanny made no secret of her greed and snatched away a thousand dollars.

Then he closed the door and went in to report.

...

"Mr. Stan Lee, a man who claims to be the president of Marvel, came to see you and said that he came to you with a very important matter related to Marvel."

Stan Lee, 73 years old this year, is still in good health. He is sitting in a rocking chair and reading a newspaper.

Hearing the nanny's words, he showed disgust.

Ronald Perelman, the boss and president of Marvel, has implemented a series of measures since he took office, not only failed to bring Marvel back to life.

On the contrary, it made Marvel's various situations worse and worse.

And he, one of the main creators of Marvel, is not taken seriously in front of him.

The disheartened Stan Lee has long since entered the time of retirement. When he heard that Ronald Perelman was looking for him, he immediately refused with a bad face.

The nanny didn't expect Stan Lee to refuse so quickly. Thinking of the thousand dollars in his hand, she hurriedly said:

"Sir, I think it's best for you to meet him. From his expression, it seems really important."

"Haven't you been following the development of Marvel?"

Stan Lee had 1 thoughts flashing through his mind, but in the end he still couldn't let go of the Marvel that he brought with him. He let out a long sigh, and then said slowly:

"You let them in."

The nanny's face brightened, as if she was afraid that Stan Lee would change his mind, she quickly responded yes, and then hurried to the door to open it.

After she came in, she could feel at ease with the thousand dollars.
