After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 83:

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

...

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

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

to show off the strength of their company.

Obviously, Warner's purpose is the second.

Thanks to Kevin, Pirates of the Caribbean was last year's North American box office champion.

And this year, Batman The Dark Knight means to win the championship again.

Warner is not very good in the industry,

At this time, it can be said that the entire Warner executives are not good enough to hold a celebration party to show off.

Under this idea, this gave birth to the birth of this celebration party.

Robinoff, talking with the presidents of several film companies.

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

"Hey, winning the annual box office championship in a row is a demonstration of our Warners' capabilities. In the summer vacation next year, we, Warners, will continue to work hard..."

Robinov put on a hateful face, showing off.

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

Seems to have completely ignored Robinov's bragging rights.

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

All previous invitations to his films were rejected by Steve Kevin.

But seeing that Steve Kevin's film is going to win the North American box office twice in a row, it makes them a little bit restless.

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

As investors, they are very confident.

Often they are choosing the director.

But Steve Kevin is an exception.

Looking at Hollywood, there is only one director who makes money and shoots fast at the same time.

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

This efficiency makes others envious.

Since the invitation cannot be made, then we will have an interview, and we must find a way to pull Steve Kevin over.

If you can't pull it off...

These presidents have their own ideas about how to destroy Steve Kevin's new movie if Steve Kevin doesn't want to work with them.

bust his myth.

No way, the market is so big.

In the past, it was the major film companies that took turns eating at the box office.

Everyone can accept it.

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

Then they eat the leftovers.

No one can stand 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 a bad look.

However, because Kevin said they had to cast their own films, the presidents of these film companies were relieved.

Not intending to take an overly aggressive attitude.

Just a cold face.

Seeing this situation, Kevin had nothing to fear.

This is all normal.

He was already prepared.

At present, he has not yet separated from the cooperation with large companies, so he does not have to face such difficulties by himself for the time being.

However, with the release of Marvel's movies at the latest next year, Kevin knows that he will definitely usher in 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 have left.

A thin middle-aged white man came to Kevin's side with a gentle smile.

"Hello, I'm Alan Bergman, the president of Beverly Films. I would like to invite you to make a movie on behalf of Beverly West and Walt Disney. Do you have this honor?"

"I'm sorry, I have a film company myself, and I'm going to invest in a film entirely by myself."

"Maybe I don't have 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 politely declined.

When Alan Bergman heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the midst of decades of Hollywood experience.

After a movie like Steve Kevin sells, he is very confident in himself, so he takes all his net worth to invest in the movie.

But without exception, after they lost all their net worth, they remembered the lesson of never investing their own money in movies.

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

For now, though, Kevin is investing himself.

In the absence of the human and material resources of major companies, not only him, but also people from other film companies are not optimistic about him.

Of course, because he is not optimistic, the resistance encountered by Kevin will be relatively small.

...

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

"Bloomberg Films, you are always welcome."

After speaking beautifully, Alan Bergman left in awe.

Kevin announced to the public that he would fully invest in his next movie. This news made many people relax.

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

Even the heart of the stumbling child is a lot smaller.

Chapter 131 Deals in the Party

Seeing the presidents of other film companies, after walking around in front of Kevin.

All came back in vain.

Robinov walked over with a smile on his face.

Warner can say that the outside world is more concerned about Steve Kevin's wooing than any 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 restrain him.

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

Why not throw a party and find out who Kevin is going to work with on his next movie.

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

Robinoff seemed to have no idea what just happened on Kevin's side.

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

"Everyone is happy together."

Kevin replied casually.

Robinov raised his 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 film rights of a comic from Marvel Comics and am going to adapt it into a movie."

"Like Batman?"

Robinov hurriedly asked.

"It's a little different, after all, Batman is the most popular and most watched movie in the United States."

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

"So, is it still the same as before? 30% investment ratio?"

Robinov hurriedly said.

Don't blame him for being in a hurry, it's really the name Steve Kevin, which is a golden sign.

Warners has been working with him since escaping from Breakthrough.

To date, Warner's profits from working with him are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

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 DVDs that last for decades, and the cost of copyright authorization.

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

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

"No, I still have a lot of money on hand, 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, the big companies will naturally know about it as soon as he records it in the Writers and Directors Guild.

Therefore, Kevin did not intend to hide.

Instead, say it when you see it.

At the same time, he revealed his thoughts on the next movie and not investing in anyone.

In this way, it can reduce the attention of other film companies to him.

After all, in the past, many directors had his thoughts.

And the film company, facing these directors, has no objection and supports them.

Until these directors, who have experienced failure, lost all their money.

Next, these directors naturally matured.
