After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

"In that case, you have a lot of movies from the past, but they are no longer loved by American men now, right?"

"Yes, there are tens of thousands in the warehouse."

"If you count the entire San Fernando Valley, there are millions of units in stock."

Kevin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ask directly:

"Then, do you sell these videos?"

In the same sentence, no one except Kevin thought that these things that no one wanted would have such great value.

They are like piles of gold mines, waiting for Kevin to mine its value.

There are still a few years away from the era of online video, and Kevin has to make arrangements in advance.

Otherwise, once everyone realizes the value of this pile of gold mines, Kevin would have to pay ten times, a hundred times more to take this pile of gold mines easily.

Hearing Kevin's words, the chunky man's eyes suddenly lit up.

The output of this kind of special film is different from that of ordinary films. If it is fast, hundreds of films can be produced in one day.

If you are slow, you can shoot several times a day.

With tens of thousands in stock, don't look scary.

In fact, with the size of their company, it is only the inventory in the past few years.

In the warehouse, in fact, it has already eaten the dust for a long time.

If anyone wants it, it can't be better.

"Then... we will use the copyright of these movies in exchange for the copyright of the 18th version of Pirates of the Caribbean?"

The chubby man Griffin probed.

Kevin was overjoyed. If there were only tens of thousands of such films, in fact, the value of such films was not high.

There is no gold content in anything. It is a person who can use a camera, plus a pair of men and women, a man, a woman, and you can shoot.

However, these films are precious because they are films that have been reviewed by the review department and can be listed.

Simply put, it is a legitimate commodity that has been taxed.

If Kevin shoots by himself, it is easy to say, but it is very troublesome to review this side, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed.

Now with 10 million, you can win these tens of thousands of movies, which is a huge profit.

But what Kevin thought in his mind was not just these tens of thousands of movies.

The entire San Fernando Valley inventory is his goal.

Chapter 128

Pretending to look dark, Kevin said in a slightly displeased tone:

"It's too insincere for you to say that."

"Do you think those tens of thousands of movies are worth so much money?"

"When you were chatting just now, didn't you say that, in terms of your company's output, you can produce hundreds of movies a day in a lot of time?"

Humpty Griffin looked embarrassed.

He didn't expect that when he was chatting just now, he revealed all his details.

Now think about the circle is not good round.

However, he is also a battle-hardened company boss.

Faced with this dilemma, he quickly adjusted himself to look like he didn't change his face.

His face was not red and his heart was not beating:

"It can't be said that, even if there are hundreds of books a day, it's not the reason why they are not valuable."

"The actresses and others have also worked hard, and it's so cheap that I can't go back and explain it."

Although he said that, Griffin knew in his heart that these were actually worthless.

But it's just the content of some men and women going to bed.

With the exception of a few particularly popular actresses' movies that sold relatively well, other old movies have long since lost their sales.

Now being able to sell some money, for them, it is pure profit.

You know, their company's annual profit is just that.

After removing all labor costs, taxes, and profits, it looks like $40 million to $50 million.

And profits are still falling.

These things that have been useless for a long time, can sell a little, it is pure profit.

What he said was nothing more than bargaining.

Kevin gritted his teeth, looking very tangled, and suddenly said:

"The price is not bad, but I hope to buy more movies. I wonder if you can help me contact other movie companies."

"If other studios are willing to sell relatively cheaply, then I'll take your inventory for $10 million."

Griffin nodded, readily agreeing.

He doesn't care about the prices of other film companies.

Being able to use these useless stocks to directly get the copyright of the 18th version of Pirates of the Caribbean is a very profitable business.

In fact, these films, because of the lack of technical content.

This has led to the establishment of more and more film companies in the San Fernando Valley, and the number of these films is increasing exponentially.

For them, film resources are not important.

A beloved actress is the most important thing.

These stocks are just garbage.

As long as he releases a movie in the San Fernando Valley where someone buys the stock, it is estimated that others will sell it at the burger price.

After the two sides reached a consensus, the three of them left Morning Movies and returned to the San Fernando Valley to help Kevin acquire these outdated old movies.

....

Time flies to three days later.

During these three days, the box office of The Dark Knight of Batman has slowly declined in a very uniform trend.

During this period of time, the biggest enemy of Batman's Dark Knight was the movie Ghost Horse produced by Universal Pictures and the Red Tide Storm produced by Bravais.

There is also a movie that Kevin is very familiar with.

Braveheart won the Best Picture Oscar in 1996.

Those three films, plus Kevin's Dark Knight, swept the summer schedule in May and June.

However, relying on the influence brought by the huge IP of Batman, Kevin successfully dominated this summer schedule.

Among the box office, Batman The Dark Knight leads the way with a total box office of 130 million US dollars and a single-day box office of over 10 million.

And Ghost Horse, relying on its strong family-friendly attributes, followed closely with a total box office of 70 million US dollars and a single-day box office of 10 million US dollars.

Next, there are the two films of Red Tide Storm and Braveheart.

Single-day box office for more than nine million US dollars.

The media, at the suggestion of Warner, once again praised Batman The Dark Knight.

"Director Steve Kevin, once again through the box office, proved to everyone that he is a Hollywood director."

"From 1992's Chainsaw to 1995's Batman The Dark Knight, the saga of director Steve Kevin has only just begun."

"With comedy superstar Jim Carrey as the villain and an ordinary male star as the male lead, he beat Mel Gibson's film Braveheart and Tony Scott's Red Tide. storm."

"He proved with his strength that he has the same strong directing ability as Spielberg..."

...

In 20th Century Fox, Braveheart is a joint vote of Fox and Paramount, and Mel Gibson is staring at the box office news every day in Fox's main movie.

At this time, Mel Gibson looked at the news in the newspaper, and the unhappy expression on his face could be seen by a person.

A Hollywood star and a director.

His status in Hollywood, of course, needless to say.

Few dare to step on his head.

These media, starkly comparing him to Steve Kevin, and through the success or failure of a film, put him under the budding director of Steve Kevin.

This made him feel very angry.

His temper is also not very good.

In this regard, he immediately contacted the media he was familiar with and commented on the news in the newspaper.

...

Inside Nicholas Kevin's villa.

The three were sitting together, chatting while having a barbecue.

Kevin smiled and said while grilling:

"Depp, in theory, your salary increase should indeed exceed $5 million."

"But do you know why I'm not willing to pay a little extra for this increase?"

Johnny Depp, on the side, was obviously embarrassed.

Kevin's high attitude made him very uncomfortable.

However, the lifeline was in Kevin's hands, and he had to bow his head.

If Kevin does change the cast of the Pirates of the Caribbean lead and he doesn't have a decent production in a year or two.

Then the fate of the new superstar waiting for him is to fall like a meteor.

This is also a reason he wants to understand in the past two days.

Steve Kevin, even if the actor is changed, with his ability, there is a high probability that he will not lose money, but he may make less money.

But if he lost Pirates of the Caribbean, the consequences would be completely different.

In this case, he is actually inseparable from the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Then everything is very simple.

He had no room for bargaining at all.

Either accept the price and play Pirates of the Caribbean honestly, or sit back and watch Steve Kevin switch actors.

And he, the superstar, just lost his most famous masterpiece.

....

"Because I need the Pirates of the Caribbean, not the Pirates of the Caribbean, I have figured this out."

Kevin just nodded, finally Johnny Depp, not stupid in the end.

Chapter 129 Company Development, and Hong Kong Layout

"It's nice of you to be able to figure this out."

"I'm ready. If you don't even think about this, I'm really ready to change actors."

Depp showed an embarrassed smile again, and he never dared to doubt Kevin's determination.

When filming the movie, Kevin's king-like bearing let Depp know that as long as Kevin made up his mind, he would do it no matter the cost.

Once this kind of person is offended, it is simply terrible.
