After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"President Leiter, you have to give everyone an explanation for the fact that Director Steve Kevin left MGM and cooperated with Warner alone."

"Yes, let me give you an explanation."

Several senior executives complained.

Leiter's position in MGM was originally unstable, but because he won over Kevin, his position was temporarily stabilized.

As a result, Kevin has just tasted the sweetness here.

Kevin turned his head and went to cooperate with Warner, and these MGM executives felt resentful.

And this resentment finally broke out now that Batman's box office is booming.

Facing the attacks from these executives, Leiter said helplessly:

"The contract we signed with Steve Kevin is two movies in three years and five movies in ten years."

"He did exactly what he did under the contract, what can we do."

The executives were speechless for a while, and looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.

MGM, thanks to Pirates of the Caribbean and Mission: Impossible before it, has managed to make money.

Last year, these executives, each of them received a lot of bonuses.

But this year is going to be difficult. It's almost June, and apart from a few small productions, MGM doesn't have a major project at all.

Earnings this year are worrisome.

In the meeting room, there was a sudden gloom, and everyone was racking their brains to find a way.

An executive raised his head and said tentatively:

"President Leiter, how about, on behalf of everyone, go ask Director Kevin."

"Batman is just finished, and his new project should not be determined yet. After all, he is also a major shareholder of our MGM, so we should be considered for new projects."

Other executives looked at Leiter with hopeful eyes.

All the pressure instantly concentrated on Leiter.

Rhett was about to reply when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A blonde-haired OL secretary in a black suit came in and said respectfully:

"President, Director Steve Kevin is here and says he wants to see you."

Lei Te stood up abruptly, his face beaming with joy.

God is sorry, he is too aggrieved as the president.

"The meeting is over, I'm going to talk to Kevin."

After all, under the guidance of the secretary, Leiter walked towards Kevin's exclusive office.

Chapter 124 Where did the money to acquire MGM come from?

...

Since becoming a shareholder of MGM, Kevin has had such an exclusive office.

But since having this office, Kevin has only come here once or twice.

This is the first time he feels the feeling of working at MGM.

It has to be said that regardless of past life or present life, he tends to be freelancing.

Only by working as a freelancer can he feel what it's like to be alive, and going to work like a walking dead makes him feel what bondage is.

Sitting on the big sofa in his office, Kevin drank the iced coffee poured by Leiter's secretary just now, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Kevin, you're here."

Lei Te pushed the door in and said some nonsense.

But the happy expression on his face revealed his inner thoughts.

Obviously, he was very happy about Kevin's arrival.

"Leite, do other people have a lot of opinions on me not letting MGM invest in Batman?"

Kevin asked directly.

The purpose of his coming today is not only to let MGM invest, but also to beat the people of MGM.

Let them know where MGM would be without Steve Kevin.

At the same time, test whether they are willing to support their acquisition of MGM.

Pave the way for the complete acquisition of MGM in the future.

There was an embarrassing smile on Rhett's face. Kevin obviously had no one in MGM, but he seemed to know everything about what happened in MGM.

That being the case, he didn't have to hide it anymore.

And he also wanted to take advantage of this situation to test Kevin's attitude.

After spending so much money to buy shares in MGM, but being so lukewarm, I can't feel the importance he attaches to MGM shares at all.

This makes it very incomprehensible.

"There are indeed many high-level executives who expressed their puzzlement to me. Just now, everyone was still discussing this matter. You are very disappointed that you did not let MGM invest in the Batman you filmed."

A look of indecision flashed across Kevin's face, and he said:

"I'm here this time for the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean."

"This time, Chenxi Film will invest 60%, MGM will invest 40%, and the specific copyright share will be the same as the first film."

"At the same time, Chenxi Films is in charge of everything leading the film, and MGM doesn't care about anything other than the financial supervision of the use of funds."

"I only need to be responsible for some publicity and distribution after the film production is completed."

Hearing these words, Rhett instantly felt a headache. He knew that Kevin's request this time would definitely cause huge repercussions in MGM.

As a well-established film company, MGM has declined in recent years.

But these executives still have the arrogance of a Hollywood giant in their hearts.

Kevin, this is simply a slap in the face.

It's almost like saying, MGM is dead.

That's Lei Te, as the president with the highest probability of being replaced, he doesn't have these messy thoughts.

I want to do a good job in the data on the financial statements.

He doesn't want to take the blame for this matter.

Hastily said:

"Then, a meeting with the company's top management?"

"Row."

...

After a while, the previous dozen or so senior executives of the company came to the meeting room again.

But this time the one sitting in the main seat is Steve Kevin.

Unlike the previous dissatisfaction with Kevin in the conference room, here, every executive, from the face, is submissive to Kevin.

Kevin glanced around, and then said calmly:

"Next, let's talk about the new project, Dawn Films' investment in the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean."

As soon as these words came out, the executives below all smiled.

The sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean is simply a business of standing up and picking up money.

It seems that Steve Kevin still has MGM in his heart.

But of course, the 10% stake in MGM has more than doubled after the two movies were sold out.

If the other minority shareholders get rid of it at this time, they will already have doubled their profits.

Shareholders currently investing in movie stocks have superstitious confidence in the name of Steve Kevin.

As long as it wasn't Steve Kevin who sold MGM's shares, everyone else was full of confidence in MGM at this time.

This is the absolute confidence brought by the big sales of five consecutive films.

As long as Steve Kevin can continue his undefeated box office myth, his existence will make MGM's shares firmly stable above the current price.

"..."

Kevin repeated what he said to Rhett.

The executives present all of a sudden turned ugly.

Unlike Leiter who worked in MGM for three or four years, many of these executives have been working in MGM since they were in their 20s.

Up to now, it has been 30 years.

These days have developed to the present, and they are not only executives of MGM, but also minority shareholders of MGM.

More than 3% of the shares, less than 1% of the shares.

Together, it also occupies more than 10% of MGM's shares.

The emotion for MGM is not just about going to work.

To a certain extent, they are also one of the reasons for the decline of MGM. They lack the background of major media companies and the flexibility of young people.

"Director Kevin, are you insulting MGM?"

A senior executive asked with an ugly face.

"No, it's just that I hold 100% of Chenxi Film Company, and I only have 10% of MGM shares. In comparison, Chenxi is actually what really belongs to me."

Everyone was speechless.

Kevin's words seem to make sense.

This is simply an unsolvable dead end.

They suddenly didn't know what to say.

How could it be possible for Steve Kevin to abandon more interests to support MGM.

No one can do it.

Even in this situation, they are still worried, in case Steve Kevin gives up MGM sometime.

Then MGM is really hopeless.

The financial reports in recent years can almost be said to be horrible, with losses every year, and only last year made money.

Rhett watched everything from the sidelines, looked at Kevin's expression, and suddenly understood what he meant.

Interjected:

"Or, Kevin, you can buy more shares. If MGM is also yours, then it will definitely not be treated like this."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

No fool can sit in this position.

If Steve Kevin really doesn't care about MGM, then the previous words don't need to be so clear at all.

Having said so much, it shows that Kevin actually attaches great importance to MGM.

The meaning is obvious.

Steve Kevin, trying to swallow MGM.

This····

Everyone thought about it in their minds, and suddenly realized that if MGM was acquired by Steve Kevin, it seemed to be a good thing.

Unlike the layman of the previous casino tycoon, it was replaced by an insider like Steve Kevin to lead MGM, nothing else.

Make more blockbuster movies.
