After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Kevin asked curiously.

"you guess?"

Robinov smiled all over his face, and joked directly to Kevin's words.

"3000?"

Kevin guessed unceremoniously.

Robinov was stunned, good guy, dare to say it.

You must know that last year's Pirates of the Caribbean series only had a box office of more than 2000 million US dollars on the first day. Just like that, it has already won No.1 in the North American box office rankings.

I can't answer your words.

Robinov smiled embarrassingly, and said directly:

"The box office on the first day was 2433 million US dollars. At the same time, it has a good reputation among Batman fans and your fans. There is a high probability that there will be no box office Waterloo."

"According to the preliminary judgment of professionals based on these data, the global box office of around [-] million US dollars should not be a big problem."

The total production cost of the two Batman movies, plus publicity, is $1 million.

This means that when the box office reaches [-] million.The cost of both movies came back.

Moreover, there are follow-up DVDs and peripheral income, which can be regarded as a small profit.

As for the upper part of Batman and The Dark Knight, all the costs have already been recovered, plus the DVD and others, basically it has already begun to make a profit.

So the next Batman Dark Knight, the box office is equal to how much money it makes.

From the perspective of their Warner professionals, there is a high probability that the box office of the next movie will surpass that of the first movie.

In other words, at least 70% of the net income of [-] million US dollars is almost equivalent to entering their company's account.

Robinov has already thought about how much praise he, the president, will receive from his parent company, Warner, after this year's full-year financial report appears.

Of course, and that huge bonus.

Just thinking about it, Robinov burst into laughter.

Since the data came out, Robinov walked around the company excitedly, and almost everyone else saw his rare smiling face.

That's why Kevin was so happy to see him when he came.

Kevin nodded, not very excited.

In the original history, the first part of the Batman trilogy released a few years later had a total box office of about 7000 million US dollars.

Counting the production cost of 8000 million US dollars, it can be regarded as making a lot of money for Warner.

And now, Kevin is adapting an already successful case, only a little more than 1 million US dollars in box office.

That's not enough to get Kevin excited.

The second movie is his trump card.

You know, the second Batman has achieved a box office record of one billion US dollars in the original history.

This box office ranked fourth in the box office list of North American film history at that time (the first in 2D movies), and ranked 13th in the global box office.

In this wave, Kevin made Warner a lot of money.

but···

Kevin laughed secretly in his heart, the billions of dollars he earned from the Batman movie would sooner or later be filled by him into the DC Dark Movie Universe.

This wave, this wave is called earning and earning for nothing.

Facing the happy Robinov, Kevin reminded:

"Don't forget to add an announcement, the next part of Batman and The Dark Knight will be seamlessly connected."

"During these three months, the publicity cannot stop for a moment."

Robinov nodded, restrained the smile on his face, and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Kevin, Warner Bros. is not the kind of small film company. We have a lot of experience in how to maximize the potential of a big-selling movie."

Kevin nodded, and after exchanging some publicity plans with him, he left.

After a movie is released, other matters are basically the affairs of the film company.

There are too few things that the director can intervene in.

On Warner's side, he doesn't need to worry about Batman's affairs, Warner is ten thousand times more concerned than him.

What he has to do now is to handle his own company's business.

...

In a high-end restaurant, Kevin called his two assistant directors.

Zack Snyder, and his old classmate, Will Mitter.

Since the filming of Batman was finished, they had a good time going around and had a good rest.

The state has recovered to [-]%.

"Director Kevin, you are looking for us. Is it a new project?"

Mitt asked with a hippie smile.

During this period of time, he was hanging out with Schneider, and the two of them had a great time.

Called by Kevin suddenly, they still haven't played enough.

Looking at the appearance of these two people who were still immersed in their vacation, Kevin suddenly lost his temper.

He hasn't played for long, but the two of them are having a good time.

Seeing this, Kevin directly released a big killer, cutting off the idea of the two of them continuing their vacation.

"Do you want to be a director?"

Mitt didn't react for a while, and said with a smile:

"We've always been directors."

Zach Schneider on the side heard Kevin's thoughts.

His face instantly became agitated.

"Kevin, you mean, let's make our own movie?"

Mitt also reacted, looking at Kevin expectantly.

Facing their eyes, Kevin nodded, and then said slowly:

"Yes, Pirates of the Caribbean is about to shoot a sequel, and the copyright belongs to our company."

"It is estimated that Chenxi Films will be the main investor, and MGM Films will be the secondary investor. Chenxi Films will contribute 60% of the income of the film, as well as the subsequent copyright income. As for the DVD income, it will be in proportion to MGM. distribute."

"MGM gets a 40% share, as well as part of the copyright proceeds."

The reason why Kevin said so clearly is that he plans to give Zack Schneider and Mitt a certain amount of dividends in the shares of Dawn Films in the future.

Zack Snyder is a famous director who has passed the test of Hollywood in the future and is set on the board.

And Mitt, who has followed Kevin for so long, Kevin also discovered that Mitt lacks a little bit of spirituality.

In other respects, the ability as a director is actually quite solid.

In this regard, Kevin can help make up for it.

Both of these two people can become the pillars of Chenxi Films in the future and support the business of Chenxi Films.

The most important thing for a movie company is to be able to continuously produce movies that can make money, so that it can be favored by the theaters.

Through this success, studios are able to build better relationships with theaters.

To put it bluntly, it was after they won the trust of the theaters.

When they ask for movie rankings with the theaters, they can ask for more rankings.

And when the movies they shoot and invest in can make more money than the Hollywood giants, these theaters will not talk about human feelings.

Chapter 122 Disney's plans and media acclaim

If the theaters can choose Chenxi between his Chenxi movie and the eight major Hollywood film companies without hesitation, it means that Chenxi movie has become a Hollywood giant.

However, the current Chenxi is still very immature and needs time to develop.

Of course, Kevin has money and can trade money for time.

Trust takes time to build, but experience with these things can be bought.

Acquiring a medium-sized film company is such a shortcut.

However, in this regard, Kevin is still thinking about it in detail and has not set an exact goal.

.....

the other side.

The two in front of Kevin looked at each other.

The meaning of Kevin's words is obvious, that is to let them direct the sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This kind of sequel movie, with the director of the first movie setting the tone, as long as it doesn't deviate too much, the results won't be too bad.

Kevin is undoubtedly supporting the two of them.

No director would refuse such an opportunity.

The two nodded at the same time.

Kevin then continued:

"The second part of Pirates of the Caribbean, the script is written by me, and I also act as the producer. As for the director, you two will go together."

"Snyder!"

"Ok?"

"Do you know what your weakness is?"

Zach scratched his head in embarrassment. As a reflective person, he knew that his greatest weakness was the mastery of the rhythm of the story.

To put it simply, his ability to tell stories in movies is not very good.

"I'm not very good at telling stories with the camera."

Kevin nodded.

In his previous life, the Justice League had completely exposed his weakness.

In his hands, the Justice League storytelling is ambiguous.

If it weren't for the story of the Justice League, which is the most famous big IP in the United States, the story in it has long been familiar to Americans.

The director's version of Justice League will definitely not achieve that kind of result.

Of course, he also has advantages.

He is quite similar to a certain director Kai. Although his ability to grasp the story is average, he has his own way of film pictures.

In his hands, film images often have the texture of an oil painting.

Every frame can be taken as a screenshot, which is his advantage.

"You're right, so I want you and Mitt to film the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel."

"You have the talent of a genius, but you lack a basic skill, a storytelling ability that I think a director must have."

"For this, Mitt can make up for it very well."

Mitt, who was on the side, kept giving Zack Schneider smug little eyes.

Obviously, he was very happy for Kevin to praise him.

Take this opportunity to show off to Zack Snyder.

But his happiness was only temporary.
