After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 215:

Behind the scenes, I don’t know how many good things Steve Kevin and Zack Snyder have been said.

In the midst of such overwhelming publicity, this film, which can stimulate the hormones of both men and women, began his premiere.

Due to some discomfort, Kevin did not choose to attend the premiere of the film.

Chapter 317 Being Targeted

To put it bluntly, Kevin can’t watch this kind of movie himself.

But this kind of movie does have a big market in Hollywood.

･･･

This peculiar comic book-style film, through the hands of Zack Snyder, has an extraordinary charm.

Coupled with extraordinary publicity measures, as soon as it was released, it was surrounded by a large number of fashionable young people.

Countless handsome men and beauties stepped into the cinema in pairs, and this trend even spread to high school students, and pairs of high school students also stepped into the cinema one after another.

Under such circumstances, on the premiere day, the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors, even in some big movie theaters, had a hard-to-get ticket.

At the same time, this trend of the three hundred Spartan warriors also attracted the attack of a large number of people of justice.

For example, a certain Christian newspaper, whose name is the official media belonging to the church, published these remarks in its newspaper.

“Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, the scale of this movie is too large, it has caused a lot of influence among young people, and it seriously violates the will of the Lord. Here, it is strongly recommended that major movie theaters block this movie.”

In the United States, the influence of the church is quite large.

As soon as the newspaper came out, there was a huge wave of boycotts.

Inside Dawn Films.

Zach Snyder looked at the box office of 38 million on the first day with a frown on his face.

The box office data on the first day is actually very eye-catching.

And the key is that this is the first movie he has made completely independently in the true sense. To have this box office result is actually a great affirmation of his strength.

He was very satisfied.

After all, if things go on like this, it’s easy for the Spartan 300 Warriors to get 200 to 300 million North American box office.

If you add overseas markets, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

This is also right for Steve Kevin’s training on him.

Unexpectedly, it has only just been released, and it has caused such a big trouble for the church.

Zack Snyder couldn’t help but get a headache.

Looking at Kevin who was still calm, Schneider asked for help:

“Kevin, what are we going to do next?”

Although he felt a headache, Steve Kevin can always give people confidence.

Seeing Kevin so calm, Schneider’s mood seemed to calm down.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make a call.”

Kevin reassured Schneider, then called Robinoff.

“Kevin, what’s wrong?”

Having just reached a good cooperation with Kevin, Robinoff’s tone became enthusiastic,

“That’s right, the church just spoke to the media, saying that it is to boycott the movie Spartan 300 Warriors released by Chenxi Film Company. I want to ask you, is there any misunderstanding?”

“I want you to help me find out.”

“Leave this to me, I should be able to figure it out before tomorrow.”

During the phone call, Robinov agreed immediately.

This kind of handy thing, being able to sell Steve Kevin a favor, this is a very profitable thing.

He had no reason to refuse.

“Thank you then, I owe you a favor.”

After all, Kevin hung up the phone.

In a place like the United States, there is only one possibility that this kind of thing happens suddenly, and that is that the three hundred Spartan warriors touched the interests of some people in the sect, and they provoked this kind of thing.

Otherwise, even the sect would not take the initiative to cause trouble for itself.

After all, this is America, not the Vatican.

After asking Robinoff to help investigate, Kevin raised his head again and looked at Zack Snyder:

“Schneider, on your side, organize some movie fans to go to the church door for a few laps.”

“We also have to express our attitude and let the church know that we are not to be messed with.”

Snyder nodded.

The church had already mounted on his head, and he couldn’t sit still any longer.

If the movie fails at the box office, even if Kevin doesn’t blame him, he blames himself.

Of course, it is indispensable to be ridiculed by Mitt for a few years, which is not acceptable.

People on this land are not afraid of God.

You bless me to get rich, you are a good god, you want to take my money, sorry, you are a devil.

“Okay, I’ll get in touch right away to see if I can find some of the fanatical movie fans, and I’ll go to the parade with them.”

Schneider agreed immediately.

･･･

Time flies to the next day.

The box office on the first day, 36 million, is really mediocre compared to Steve Kevin’s films, not outstanding.

But in fact, in Hollywood, this is already a successful commercial film director, and should have the achievements.

In the dark, I don’t know how many studios coveted Zack Snyder.

Any successful commercial film director is sought after by major Hollywood film companies.

In fact, in Hollywood, most of the ordinary film companies, their source of profit is not the box office of the movie, but the distribution expenses in the production of a movie.

And the cost of their film production is actually borne by foreign investors.

So why do foreign investors choose to invest in these film companies?

It depends on who the director and actor they work with.

If it’s Steve Kevin plus Nicolas Cage or a top director like Tom Cruise plus top actors.

Then investors hardly care about the risk. Whether it is 200 million or 300 million US dollars, I am afraid that some people will invest in them.

And if it’s just a little director with no name in Hollywood, even if it is an investment of one million dollars, it is not so easy to think of.

Almost all film companies in Hollywood make money this way.

If you simply rely on your own investment to make money from the box office, the risk factor is extremely high.

While movies are extremely profitable, they are also equally risky.

There are many film companies that just fail to grasp the scale of their own investment and the direct proportion of simply earning profits, which has led to the closure of their means beyond their means.

Hollywood giants, the reason they become giants, is that they have a lot of movies, they are all homemade, and they are successful.

This is the position of the Hollywood movie giant in one fell swoop.

Among them, I don’t know how many film companies have lost money and fell during investment.

After decades of development.

Any Hollywood studio knows that only a good director can make a good movie that makes money.

Of course, this is the current Hollywood perception.

With the development of Marvel IP, Hollywood studios will realize that the quality of a movie is determined by the director.

But whether a movie can make money or not is determined by the producer.

Chapter 318 Counterattack

The director is only responsible for his own work, while the producer is responsible to the studio.

For the sake of his own work, the director sometimes does not work towards the confidence of the box office, while the producer is all working towards making money.

Even later, Hollywood gradually became a producer-centric system.

Movies are getting worse.

This is almost an inevitable development after capital enters the entertainment industry.

From the director’s point of view, if you can’t do whatever you want, just do whatever you want. Of course, this is a bad thing and a step backwards.

From the perspective of capital, that is, the film company, it is naturally a good thing to control the director’s indiscriminate spending and greatly reduce the chance of losing money.

From the audience’s point of view, the movies are becoming more and more the same, without the taste of a hundred flowers blooming, and it is even more boring.

Of course, a big director like Kevin is unique.

Even if he doesn’t open a film company, just because of his status as a big director, no producer can control him.

Just like James Cameron, overspending is overspending, and the producer doesn’t care about him at all.

You are unwilling to invest, and a lot of people are willing to invest. This is the status of a great director.

And even if it doesn’t reach Kevin’s level, if you can maintain your own movies, the overall profitability has been good, that is, to the level of ordinary famous directors, you can also counter the producers to a certain extent.

Such Zack Snyder, I don’t know how many people have invited him.

Invite him to make a movie, invite him to leave the morning light film company and so on.

Zach Snyder refused.

In terms of money, the conditions they offered were not much more than what Kevin gave. In terms of rights, filming with Kevin was even more free.

You can also get Kevin’s advice, plus they get along very well.

Ordinary people really can’t poach him.

On the next day, because of the influence of the church, without the collapse of word of mouth, the box office of the movie dropped significantly.

Only got 30 million US dollars at the box office, this achievement instantly made Schneider feel a sense of urgency.

With a group of people, Schneider, outside the Los Angeles Cathedral, began his own trip.

“We have the right to express ourselves freely, and the church should not interfere with people’s freedom.”

“We want freedom, the church shut up!”

“We want freedom, the church shut up!”

“…”

In the United States, for freedom, it is also a kind of political correctness.

This is something written in the U.S. Constitution.

Although in the future, this so-called freedom will be distorted, but in the current era, carry the banner of freedom.

Even the church is hard to resist.

The Los Angeles Cathedral, Bishop Paul Sangley, looked at the procession blocking the door, and his face could not help but be covered with dark clouds.

In fact, this remark against the three hundred Spartan warriors was passed on to the media through his dictation.

In other words, he expressed his personal opinion in the name of the church.

In theory, as long as no one speaks, then this kind of private use of sectarian power will be a thing of the past.

He never imagined that Zack Snyder would do this, so he would have a headache, and if it got bigger and the Vatican stepped in, he would be in trouble.
