After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Depp's resignation saved Kevin a lot of things.

There are too many classics in Kevin's hands.

If Johnny Depp is really an idiot, he doesn't mind ruining the big IP of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Fortunately, the situation did not develop to that point.

Johnny Depp suddenly woke up.

Kevin continued:

"Since that's the case, go to Dawn Films to sign the contract in two days. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 will be filmed at the fastest speed. I guarantee that as long as you don't follow my instructions honestly, you will get what you want fame and status."

"No problem, I will get the contract done as quickly as possible and get involved in the work."

Johnny Depp said earnestly.

Seeing that the conflict between Depp and Kevin was resolved.

Only then did Nicolas Cage come over and handed a piece of grilled charred steak to Kevin, and a piece of medium-rare steak to Depp.

Then he smiled and said:

"Your business is over, I'm going to talk about my business with Kevin."

"It's been two or three years since you moved here. What about the agreed role?"

Cage said in a mocking tone.

This year, Cage has already filmed two films, Kiss of Death and Leaving Las Vegas, but he has no energy for other films.

When he said that, he was actually just joking.

At the same time, ease the relationship between Depp and Kevin.

"Cage, do you like Ghost Rider?"

Facing his casual ridicule, Kevin also asked rhetorically.

There is no doubt that the beginning of Marvel must be Spider-Man at the request of Mr. Stan Lee.

However, Ghost Rider is also part of Kevin's plan.

The original Avengers, in Kevin's view, can be described in one sentence.

That is, the layout is small.

A battle to determine the fate of the universe, just a few people played, and the main force included ordinary people like Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.

To put it bluntly, it's like a joke.

Now, with more time and funds, Kevin decided to expand the Avengers team.

The overall structure of The Avengers remains unchanged.

However, strong characters like Ghost Rider, X-Men, and more can be added.

But these are only preliminary thoughts.

Specifically, the design of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still in the minds of Stan Lee and Kevin Feige, and it has not fully emerged.

He just consulted Cage's specific ideas first.

In his previous life, he had heard that Cage was a fan of Ghost Rider comics, and now he just wanted to confirm this.

Otherwise, with Cage's thoughts at this time, there is a high probability that he would not accept a comic book movie.

In layman's terms, Cage is a literary man.

...

"of course."

"A skeleton man riding a motorcycle with flames burning on his body, which man can withstand this temptation."

"This is so cool, isn't it!"

"Kevin, don't tell me you don't like Ghost Rider!"

Although I don't know why Kevin suddenly brought up this topic.

But when it comes to one of his favorite comics, Cage still expressed his love for Ghost Rider.

The corners of Kevin's mouth slanted slightly, showing a smile, and said in his mouth:

"Then, if I tell you that I bought the movie copyright of Ghost Rider, would you like to play Ghost Rider?"

"Are you serious?"

Cage widened his eyes and confirmed again.

"I never joke like that."

"I play!"

Nicholas Kevin said without hesitation.

This feeling is like a child who grew up watching Ultraman, and when he grows up, is invited to play the Ultraman he loved when he was a child.

This indescribable excitement can only be understood by the person involved.

After getting Cage's answer, Kevin said slowly:

"Don't worry, the script is still being polished, and the actual filming will probably take until the middle of next year. I'm just saying hello to you in advance."

Nicolas Cage was suddenly out of breath, and said with a dissatisfied face:

"It's really you, it whetted my appetite, and then this is it?"

Kevin reassured:

"Don't worry, trust my Ghost Rider, you will never be disappointed."

After Kevin said that, Cage had nothing to say.

He glared at Kevin again angrily:

"Okay, then I'll wait."

In the following time, the three of them had a fun little party and got drunk until dawn.

........

Early the next morning, when Kevin arrived at dawn, he saw Mel Gibson madly criticizing him in the newspaper.

"Hollywood's cutting-edge director? I think he is a baby who has not been weaned. People who watch Batman are still children and haven't been weaned. The audience and the director seem to be the same thing. This kind of person is not worthy of watching me. Movie····"

Looking at Mel Gibson's criticism in the newspaper, Kevin didn't change his face.

This kind of comment is so innocuous that Kevin doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

Dawson on the side looked at Kevin's face, and tentatively said:

"Should we fight back in the media?"

"Don't mind him."

The famous Mel Gibson is behind a domestic violence man, and at the same time, he is anti-Latin and anti-Semitic.

It can be said that he offended too many people.

Sooner or later, it's a death, and Kevin doesn't need to deal with him.

..

After briefly understanding the situation of the Dark Knight, Kevin asked about the company's current situation.

"Dawson, what happened to the distribution you built here?"

Dawson nodded and began to report to work.

"Currently, we have DVD channels in 400 cities and states in the United States, and the number of channels has exceeded the scale of more than [-]..."

Kevin listened to the report and nodded.

In fact, it is not difficult to establish channels within the United States, it is nothing more than a matter of scale.

With Pirates of the Caribbean opening the way, the channels have been initially opened, and the next step is to maintain these channels.

Today's Chenxi Film Company has gradually expanded to a scale of dozens of people, if you add sales staff who run channels in various places.

The whole has reached the scale of more than 100 people.

In Hollywood, it can be regarded as a small and medium-sized film company.

However, compared with offline DVD channels, Chenxi Film Company's development in theaters is infinitely equal to zero.

In the final analysis, Chenxi Film Company does not have a single film released by itself.

The reason why Kevin wants to occupy absolute dominance in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is also for this reason.

For the sequel of this kind of blockbuster movie, even if Chenxi Film Company has almost zero channels in theaters.

But the same can take the initiative.

Chapter 130 Unexpected Kevin, with future challenges

After all, it was clearly a lucrative business, and the theaters didn't care about favors.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kevin was able to get through the channels of theaters.

As for overseas distribution, Kevin really has no choice.

If I have to say it, the only way is to use MGM's resources to cultivate the overseas distribution of Chenxi Films after the acquisition of MGM.

However, Pirates of the Caribbean alone is definitely not enough.

Kevin suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Do you know Jack Chen from Hong Kong?"

"You mean Jackie Chan?"

Dawson asked back.

Kevin nodded, and he realized that Jackie Chan's stage name is actually more famous than his American name.

But at this time, Uncle Long doesn't seem to have such a big influence, right?

Forgive why Kevin is called Uncle Long, but I can only say that his childhood memories of The Adventures of Jackie Chan have had a huge impact on him. The name Uncle Long is more fluent for him than Jackie Chan.

"I know him, Kung Fu star..."

While speaking, Dawson made a gesture of Drunken Fist to show that he had really watched his movie.

Kevin said:

"I want you to go to Hong Kong and get the North American copyright of Jackie Chan's new film, Red Fan District, from Golden Harvest Film Company."

"The price is the highest, 800 million US dollars, and at the same time establish a solid film acquisition channel with the film company in Hong Kong."

"I will regularly buy movies from them to help us build theater channels and DVD channels to make up for the weakness of our small number of self-projected movies."

Dawson nodded. Although he didn't understand why Kevin valued such a movie so much, he still followed the usual principles.

Just follow Kevin's orders.

.....

Time goes on.

Kevin sits in the company, back and forth between Marvel and Dawn.

And the crew for the sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean has also started to gather one after another, and the filming will start soon.

So the time came to July.

Batman: The Dark Knight Part [-] ends here.

The total box office in North America has reached an astonishing amount of 2000 million US dollars.

All the movies of the same period are eclipsed in front of it.

After all, there are no big hits this year, the competition is not too fierce, and the upper part of the Dark Knight is simply dazzling like a standout.

Stimulated by such box office, Warner held a grand celebration party.
