After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

And Kevin was invited to a hotel designated by Warner to participate in this party.

...

There are two types of celebration parties in Hollywood. One is simply that investors and crew members get together to have fun at the box office.

The other is to invite many stars and investors in the industry to participate in the name of the celebration party.

To show off the strength of your company.

Obviously, Warner's goal is the second.

Thanks to Kevin, Pirates of the Caribbean won the North American box office last year.

And this year, the Batman Dark Knight has the meaning of winning the championship again.

Warner is not very good in the industry,

At this time, if you don't hold a celebration party to show off, it can be said that the entire Warner executives are in a bad mood.

Under this kind of thinking, this gave birth to the birth of this celebration party.

Robinov was talking with the presidents of several film companies.

"This year's annual box office champion seems to have been locked by us Warner Bros. in advance, everyone, I'm sorry."

"Hey, being the annual box office champion for consecutive years is a demonstration of our Warner's ability. Next year's summer, we at Warner will continue to work hard..."

Robinov showed off with a hideous face.

The CEOs of several other Hollywood giants glanced around one by one.

It seems that Robinoff's showing off is completely ignored.

The biggest reason why they are willing to attend such a party is to talk to Steve Kevin in person.

Previous invitations to his films were rejected by Steve Kevin.

But seeing that Steve Kevin's movie is going to win the North American box office twice in a row, they can't sit still.

Generally speaking, film companies have a huge status advantage over any director.

As investors, they are full of confidence.

Often they are the ones picking the director.

But Steve Kevin is an exception.

Throughout Hollywood, Kevin is the only director who makes money and shoots movies fast.

As long as half a year, as little as one or two months a movie.

This efficiency makes other people envious.

Since the invitation failed, then we had to have an interview, and we had to find a way to bring Steve Kevin over.

If you really can't pull it...

These presidents have their own ghosts in their hearts. If Steve Kevin is unwilling to cooperate with them, they will plan how to destroy Steve Kevin's new movie.

Destroy his myth.

No way, the market is so big.

In the past, several major film companies took turns at the box office.

Everyone can accept it.

Now here's Steve Kevin, come up and just take a bite and eat the biggest piece of the cake.

Then it's up to them to eat the leftovers.

No one can bear this.

...

As soon as Kevin entered the party, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The presidents of several major film companies stepped forward to invite Kevin. After Kevin refused directly, they left him with unfriendly expressions.

However, because Kevin said that he had to cast himself in the film, the presidents of these film companies felt relieved.

There is no intention to take an overly aggressive attitude.

Just a cold face.

Seeing this situation, Kevin didn't have any fear in his heart.

This is all very normal.

He has long been ready.

At present, he has not broken away from cooperating with large companies, so he does not have to face this difficulty by himself for the time being.

However, with the release of Marvel's movies next year at the latest, Kevin knows that he will definitely have a head-on conflict with other film companies.

This is also a necessary experience for his film company to embark on the road of giants.

After these people left one after another.

A thin, middle-aged white man came to Kevin with a gentle smile.

"Hello, I'm Alan Bergman, the president of Bowei Films. I would like to invite you to make a film on behalf of Bowei and Walt Disney. I wonder if Bowei has such an honor?"

"Sorry, I have a film company myself, and I plan to invest in a film entirely by myself."

"Maybe there is no time to accept external movie invitations, please forgive me for not being able to accept your invitations."

Even in the face of one of the Hollywood giants, Kevin still politely refused.

Alan Bergman breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

In decades of Hollywood experience.

There are many people like Steve Kevin who are so confident in themselves after a movie like Steve Kevin gets a big hit, that they spend all their wealth to invest in movies.

But without exception, they ended up losing all their wealth and remembering the lesson of never using their own money to invest in movies.

If Kevin is still adhering to the long-term cooperation with Warner, then other film companies will definitely suppress him vigorously.

Now, though, Kevin invests himself.

Without the manpower and material resources of a big company, not only him, but people from other film companies are not optimistic about him.

Of course, because he is not optimistic, Kevin will encounter relatively less resistance.

...

However, Alan Bergman still fully agrees with Steve Kevin's directorial ability.

"Bowei Film Company, you are always welcome."

After finishing his beautiful words, Alan Bergman left with a bliss.

Kevin announced to the outside world that his next film will be fully invested by himself. This news has made many people feel relieved.

Based on Hollywood's long experience, everyone is not optimistic about his success.

Even the heart of stumbling has become a lot smaller.

Chapter 131 Transactions at the Party

Seeing the presidents of other film companies walk around in front of Kevin.

They all returned in vain.

Robinov walked over with a smile all over his face.

It can be said that Warner is more concerned about the outside world's wooing of Steve Kevin than any other company.

But one thing he is very clear, if Steve Kevin does not intend to continue to cooperate with Warner, then Warner has no way to restrict him.

For this reason, in order to prevent Kevin from quietly negotiating with other film companies later.

How about throwing a party and taking advantage of the opportunity to find out who Kevin is planning to collaborate with in his next movie.

However, it seems that Kevin has no intention of cooperating with other film companies.

Robinov seemed completely unaware of what happened to Kevin just now.

"Kevin, today's party is for you, you must have fun."

"Let's have fun together."

Kevin replied casually.

Robinov raised his wine glass and continued.

"Oh, by the way, Kevin, do you have plans for your new movie?"

Kevin nodded, and said honestly:

"Yes, I bought the movie copyright of a comic from Marvel Comics, and I plan to adapt it into a movie."

"Same as Batman?"

Robinov hurriedly asked.

"It's a little different. After all, Batman is the most popular movie in the United States with the largest audience."

"What I bought was at best the film copyright of a second-tier character."

"Then, it's still the same as before? 30% investment ratio?"

Robinov said hurriedly.

Don't blame him for being in a hurry, it's really the name Steve Kevin, a gold-lettered signboard.

Warner has cooperated with him since he escaped from Deadly Town.

So far, Warner has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from working with him.

If you add the two Batman movies, it's more than a billion dollars in revenue.

There is also a steady stream of follow-up, decades-long follow-up DVDs, and the cost of copyright authorization.

If a film company can cooperate with such a director for a long time, it will definitely be prosperous for a long time.

For a president like Robinov, the biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to worry about any performance pressure, and the year-end bonus is also directly paid up every year.

"No, I still have a lot of money, and I want to invest it myself."

Kevin directly refused.

This is also the goal of his coming here. These things cannot be concealed.

As long as he starts filming and files with the Screenwriters and Directors Guild, big companies will naturally know about it.

Therefore, Kevin did not intend to hide.

Instead, talk to people.

At the same time, he revealed his idea of ​​not investing in anyone for his next movie.

In this way, it can weaken other film companies' attention to him.

After all, in the past, many directors harbored his ideas.

However, the film company did not object to these directors, but also supported them.

Until these directors experienced failure and lost all their money.

Next, these directors naturally matured.

Kevin's words, let them know that Kevin is now in such a period of expansion.

At this time, just wait for a while, after Hollywood educates him.

Naturally, I will come back and cooperate with major film companies.

This has been the norm in Hollywood for many years.

This is the reason why everyone else left as soon as Kevin said it.

This kind of thing often happens among famous directors.

The final outcome is that the director loses a lot, and thus no investment is involved, or at most a small part of the investment.
