After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 226:

Try to see if you can get good grades in the US.

･･･

“Cage!”

“Brother Kevin!”

As soon as Kevin came, Cage was obviously very happy and walked out enthusiastically.

After a few chats, I asked about Cage’s current situation. Kevin cut to the point and asked about Marvel’s recent situation.

“How about the sales of various peripherals and comics recently, and what is the current market share?”

“The current market share, under the influence of the movie, has reached 55%, and further up, it has not risen at present.”

After the market share reaches a limit, it is very difficult for each point to rise.

It is precisely because of the popularity of Marvel movies that Marvel Comics has emerged and surpassed the market share of DC Comics.

It is no exaggeration to say that Marvel Entertainment has become the largest comic company with the highest market share in the comic industry.

“It’s enough to maintain this market share, but what about peripheral sales?”

“Peripheral sales, in one year, can guarantee a profit of more than 100 million US dollars.”

“The overall profit, in one year, can guarantee a net profit of more than 200 million US dollars.”

Cage looked proud.

Kevin nodded.

At present, in terms of profitability, Chenxi is the highest, and its main revenue comes from movie box office and copyright income.

Next is Marvel Entertainment.

The number one share of the comics market is no joke.

Although the comics market as a whole is not very prosperous, the number one in the market is the number one in the market after all, and the profit in one year is actually quite a lot.

Especially under the influence of the movie, the sales of some peripherals have also been taken away.

“Okay, Cage, make arrangements with Dawson in the past two days to move Marvel as a whole. You’ve had enough of working in this small office building.”

Kevin smiled.

Chapter 332 New movie plan?

“Okay, I’ll make arrangements in the next two days.”

Cage also smiled.

The new Kevin Building, he also visited, has to say that it is much better than here.

Never work in this crowded office again.

Once there, he has his own large office.

Think happy.

“Right, one more thing.”

“You arrange for someone to go to Hong Kong, buy a batch of Hong Kong comics, and translate them into English for publication.”

“The focus is on the adult market, as well as high-quality Hong Kong comics for all ages.”

“Yes!”

Hong Kong Man has to say that from Kevin’s point of view, it is still very high-quality, especially in the adult market.

Kevin also wants to see what kind of results these comics can achieve in the American market.

Anyway, the overall price of these comics is not high, and it doesn’t cost much.

It’s worth doing a deep test of the market to be able to help Marvel.

Arrange the work of Marvel.

Kevin was idle for a while.

At present, the latest projects in the company will not be released until Christmas.

He has also been playing for a few months.

It’s time to start working on a new project.

In the next time, he accompanied Anne Hathaway to play around, while looking for some inspirations or projects he was interested in through the Internet and the media, Wang Jing was sent to the Transformers crew by him.

As for the Pokemon project, after his understanding, he judged that it was not the time.

He will have to wait at least two years for special effects technology, and then he will try to make it again.

Otherwise, the film produced will be expensive and not flexible enough.

Totally a failed movie.

A Pokemon, the technology contained in it is actually higher than the Matrix, which he did not expect.

Although it was a bit of a mistake, as long as the Pokemon movie copyright fell into his hands, it didn’t matter.

Make it later, forget it later.

Right now he really doesn’t have the right project on hand.

Marvel, it is still a few years away from the reunion.

Kevin has expanded the Avengers team too much. In order to improve the plot of Avengers, more movies must be used to supplement the worldview and expand the influence of the Marvel Universe.

Early release will only greatly affect the revenue of the entire Marvel universe.

Just when Kevin was on vacation, Warner, who was the first to get the promise of Kevin, and the joint venture to shoot the movie, was the first to stop.

Since falling into the big pit of the DC universe, Warner has been losing money year after year, and it has long been a big problem for Warner.

Green Lantern, in particular, almost lost Warner Bros. profits for more than a year.

In addition to the various losses before, Warner has been more than a year old, and has not dared to invest in a movie with a production cost of more than 20 million US dollars.

Really scared.

Originally, they had been looking forward to Kevin’s new project. Who knew that Kevin had been playing for three months and still had no idea.

This time, Warner had to come and find out what Kevin said.

Kevin, who was taking Anne Hathaway, was sunbathing on the yacht off the coast, and then received a personal phone call that suddenly rang.

“Hello, I’m Steve Kevin.”

“Kevin, I’m Robinoff.”

“What’s wrong?”

Kevin lay lazily on the reclining chair, enjoying the cool sea breeze, and after drinking a sip of pure coconut milk, he answered lightly.

Someone has asked what money is for, and a common answer is to enjoy life.

That’s right, all Kevin is doing now is enjoying life.

On his yacht, of course, he is not alone.

Jim Carrey and Downey are on his boat.

These two big names, who have not had any suitable movies recently, received an invitation from Kevin, and they were all invited to go out to sea.

“That’s it, we have a project recently, I wonder if Kevin, are you interested in taking over the shooting?”

“Or you can lead the project.”

Warners was embarrassed to urge Kevin directly, so he changed his method to see if Kevin was interested in opening the movie immediately.

Warner’s remarks raised Kevin’s interest.

“What project?”

“It’s a novel, and we’re going to move this novel to the big screen.”

“The name of the novel is Perfect Storm.”

“Kevin, are you interested?”

Perfect storm?

In Kevin’s memory, the film did well.

The North American box office has $200 million, which is already a big movie above the qualified line.

However, this kind of movie that uses human power to fight against natural disasters has never been Kevin’s food.

It’s not that it’s not good-looking, but Kevin doesn’t like making this kind of movie.

The quality of this kind of film depends more on the acting skills of the actors.

The requirements for directors are not so high.

Although to a certain extent, it is quite in line with Kevin’s style.

But to put it this way.

If you don’t want to shoot, you just don’t want to shoot.

“I’ve read this novel, no, I’m not interested.”

Kevin, who was not interested, directly refused.

Robinov on the other end of the phone was not surprised.

He just used this project to find an excuse to talk to Kevin. It’s not good to come up and ask Kevin’s new project when it will be launched. It would seem that Warner Bros. is too anxious.

After all, it’s one of the biggest companies in Hollywood, they don’t want to lose face.

Speaking of which, the project is a perfect storm, although they are very optimistic within the company.

But to be honest, because of the consecutive losses.

This kind of film needs to invest tens of millions of dollars, and their company is now more cautious.

This has also led to this project, which has been entangled for a year, and has not yet been approved, which is also a real headache.

If Steve Kevin’s new movie starts shooting at the same time, they don’t have to worry about losing so much. After all, Kevin’s movie, even if it is 20 to 30 percent of the investment, the profit margin is exaggerated.

Enough to offset the loss of at least two movies.

That would allow them to continue investing in Perfect Storm, and one other movie.

“So, Kevin, do you have any ideas for your new project?”

“Not yet, maybe there will be an action movie…”

Kevin spoke in an uncertain tone.

“Action movie? Kevin, do you know Jet Li?”

Jet Li?

Who doesn’t know this.

Although he also made mistakes in the future, Kevin always felt that there seemed to be a heavy fog behind him, as if there were many unknown things happening behind him.

But in fact, these have nothing to do with Kevin, and he can’t interfere with those things.

For Kevin, at least in this era, there are two Chinese names that cannot be bypassed.

Jack Lee, Jackie Chan.

and Jet Li.

If you talk about the status of Jet Li and Jackie Chan in Hollywood, then Jackie Chan is not as good as Jet Li.

This is not a mess of other influences.

For Hollywood stars, the most intuitive status comparison is the salary.

And Jet Li’s overall remuneration, plus various income sharing, undoubtedly earns more than Jackie Chan.

Therefore, in Hollywood, Jet Li’s popularity is undoubtedly higher than Jackie Chan. Of course, this is in the future. At present, the movie that made Jet Li reach the peak in Hollywood has not yet been released. At this time, Jet Li is not as good as Jackie Chan.
