After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 213:

That’s when I met Kevin together.

Of course, what they did was exactly the same as Robinoff, selling out other allies to gain Kevin’s favor.

With the current size of Chenxi Films, even if the two films are involved, it will only hurt Kevin’s fur. Instead of this, let them sell a wave of teammates to gain Kevin’s favor.

“Thank you very much for your announcement. Next, my Dawn Entertainment Company is going to be listed. I am willing to give you a 5% original share of the capital behind you.”

“Sold to you for fifty million dollars.”

“The current profitability of Hogwarts theme parks…”

Kevin repeated what Robinoff said, and made a promise to make a movie together next year before saying goodbye to the two.

Looking out the window, Kevin is also waiting for the Hogwarts business conditions in the newspaper, what kind of hype will be caused.

Chapter 314 The Battle of the Hogwarts Global Affiliate Program

･･･

Time Warner, high-level meeting.

“Guys, this is Hogwarts theme park news from Steve Kevin in the media via the Dawn movie.”

“The above has the specific situation of its profitability, cost input and so on.”

“Currently, what Steve Kevin is saying is, for a price of one billion, let us pay $100 million to buy 10 percent of the original shares of Dawn Entertainment.”

“Afterwards, he would also contact two large companies, one to sell five percent of the original stock.”

“Our three companies are responsible for the listing of Dawn Entertainment. Can you guys give me your opinion?”

This meeting was convened by Professor Clark, Vice President of Time Warner.

While serving as the vice president of Time Warner, he is also the dean of Harvard Law School and the Royal Professor of Law. No matter where he is placed, he is a very high-ranking person.

Status, fame, and money.

This hundreds of millions of dollars in business is also worth him to hold such a meeting to decide whether to reach this cooperation.

“I think we can agree to Steve Kevin’s opinion. To be honest, with an investment of $100 million, the cost will be recovered in two years, and the latter will be pure profit. It can be expected that this high-profit project is based on it. ”

“Once Dawn Entertainment goes public and starts with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, it will most likely be the next Disney.”

Disney, with its current market capitalization in the stock market, is worth about $120 billion.

Comparing Dawn Entertainment with Disney is undoubtedly a great promotion for this project.

“I also think we should agree. Even if we don’t agree, we won’t earn these hundreds of millions of dollars, and some people will earn them.”

“As long as someone wants to make this money, Dawn Entertainment can always go public.”

This executive’s words are very realistic.

Steve Kevin is not alone in choosing them.

This money is given for free. If you don’t want it, you can earn it like other capital.

It can only be said that it is not profitable, and it is not worth it.

Several executives spoke one after another, and the overall opinion was to accept the goodwill of Steve Kevin.

In this regard, with the unanimous opinion of many executives, the unanimous idea of cooperation with Steve Kevin was reached.

Immediately afterwards, Time Warner sent someone to Chenxi to discuss the details with Kevin.

Of course, the general direction is that Kevin will sell 10% of the original shares of Dawn Entertainment to Time Warner at a valuation of one billion US dollars.

Time Warner, on the other hand, helped Dawn Entertainment go public, deal with some of the mess, and helped Kevin promote the Hogwarts theme park project to the world.

Meanwhile, 21st Century Fox, the media group behind Twentieth Century Fox, made the same choice as Time Warner.

Viacom, the media giant behind Paramount, also made the same choice.

No one will give away the money made in vain.

Even if you want to make contacts and relationships for Steve Kevin, it is worth a lot of money compared to this money.

Of course, this is compared to the public perception of Hogwarts theme parks.

Steve Kevin’s promotion of investment in the Hogwarts theme park was widely reported in the newspapers, and most people watched it.

But people in the industry know that Steve Kevin is just about attracting investment, and he is building momentum for the listing of Dawn Entertainment.

Of course, the process is definitely not that simple.

There are three major stock exchanges in the United States, the first one is Nasdaq.

In the future, the main listed securities market for mainland companies in the United States will be on Nasdaq.

Its requirements are also the lowest, of course, relative to companies that can go public.

Then came the New York Stock Exchange, and then the US Stock Exchange.

Kevin chose the Nasdaq stock market.

However, if you want to go public, the company must have been established for at least one year, and meet the basic revenue needs and tax goals.

This is determined, at least half a year for Dawn Entertainment.

But for Kevin, the time was just right.

He also needs half a year to come to all kinds of touting Dawn Entertainment, so that he can break his hair directly when it goes public.

Rise to the top in one fell swoop.

Kevin’s psychological lower limit is five billion dollars.

Then, within three years, let the market value reach its peak, directly breaking through 10 billion, or even the total market value of 20 billion US dollars.

To this end, Kevin will also make the Hogwarts project less monotonous within this half year.

At least let the audience know that the big IP belonging to Steve Kevin, such as Marvel and Pirates of the Caribbean, will be included in the Hogwarts theme park in one fell swoop.

Only in this way can the market’s confidence in the Hogwarts global chain theme park project be increased.

While Kevin was busy with things here at dawn.

The box office of Fast and Furious has steadily declined, and in half a month, it has achieved a box office of 300 million US dollars.

After that, there was only a box office of more than ten million dollars left.

According to this situation, after the release, the total North American box office is estimated to be around 400 million US dollars.

Compared with Harry Potter, there is no doubt that it is greatly inferior.

But if you count the cost, in fact, Fast and Furious has achieved box office results of more than 600 million US dollars.

This is the advantage of urban-themed movies. Through the placement of advertisements, the real income of these movies is much more than that of simple advertisements.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the influence of IP is much smaller.

For example, Pirates of the Caribbean, can be made into amusement park projects, and others.

And Fast and Furious, can’t do anything.

In other words, Fast and Furious makes quick money, and the long-term potential is actually quite ordinary.

Of course, even so, if you let it out, it’s an existence that others want to steal. ,

In this era of hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, this is still a very scary figure.

･･･

At the same time, through various channels, the business of Hogwarts theme parks has also spread all over the world.

It was the United Kingdom that was the first to respond.

No way, Harry Potter’s biggest audience, in addition to the American audience, is the British audience.

The best-selling novels written by British authors in the United States have also successfully won the love of British audiences.

Several young actors of Harry Potter have also become well-known child stars in the UK. It is no exaggeration to say that this role alone is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.

As a traditional tycoon, Merckdo also arranged for someone to come to the door, and started to discuss matters with Kevin on joining the Hogwarts theme park in the UK.

Chapter 315 Development of the Hogwarts Theme Park Project

Merck is the big boss of Fox Media Group, holding 35% of the shares of Fox Media Group, and is a well-deserved tycoon.

After seeing the news of this cooperation, he was keenly aware of the profits.

It’s only 5% of the shares, of course he is not satisfied, but such things as original shares are not so easy to buy.

Being able to get 5% is already a concession made by Kevin in order to satisfy the greedy appetite of capital.

If he wanted more, Steve Kevin could choose someone else.

The current situation is that the status of these capitals can be replaced by other capitals.

And this project, only Steve Kevin has.

Even Steve Kevin put the project in front of everyone generously, and no one else could imitate it.

The reason is very simple, the core of Hogwarts theme park is the Harry Potter movie.

A big fantasy IP created with movies as the core.

Of course, the Hogwarts theme park is so successful because of director Steve Kevin.

In the movie, the fantastic magical worldview he created is very harmonious with reality.

It was as if there really was a magical world hidden in the inner world of England.

The IP is good, and the movie sells well, which drives Harry Potter and becomes popular all over the world.

Of course, the most important place in the world is actually the main English-speaking countries, that is, the former British allies, colonies and so on.

These places, Harry Potter’s popularity, can be described as crazy.

After all kinds of marketing, the release date of Harry Potter has become Hogwarts Day.

On that day, people prepare to dress up as magicians, witches, etc. from the movies to celebrate the festival.

This trend already has a bit of the meaning of Star Wars culture.

However, Star Wars actually has a greater impact on the United States, while Harry Potter has a wider impact.

This is the difference between the two.

Merck was born in Australia, but in fact his main core business is in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Because of this, he knew how popular Harry Potter was in the UK just by doing a simple survey.

Although the size of the United Kingdom is not as good as that of the United States, building three Hogwarts theme parks, even if it is divided by half with Kevin, is a value-for-money deal that will pay off in three years.

The annual profit is hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even Merck, with a net worth of tens of billions, can’t ignore this kind of steady profit.

And it’s just the UK.

His business scope includes many countries, and he can win the contracting rights of Hogwarts theme parks in these countries.

In this way, the interests among them are expanded again.

You know, even the Fox Group, which is a big business, has only three billion in liquidity.

And such an industry that can stably bring a large amount of cash flow to the group, even Merck can not underestimate.

After all, a net worth of tens of billions is two different things from working capital.

Morning Sun Entertainment.

Murdoch’s new wife, Wendi Deng, came to Kevin’s office with his secretary.

Looking at the legendary woman in front of him, Kevin also showed a curious look in his eyes.

In June of this year, just a month ago, she and Merckdo had their wedding on a yacht.

At the same time, by virtue of her own ability, she has earned her a seat in the Fox Group by Merck.
