After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 241:

The Transformers series is a film made by Hasbro and a Japanese company in order to sell toys.

As the investor, Hasbro naturally holds the copyright.

It has been fifteen years since it began production and broadcast in 1984.

These fifteen years are enough to become the childhood memories of a generation of young people.

The transformation of Transformers into a movie has instantly attracted the attention of countless young people.

Among the moviegoers, the young people are the most, and they are also the audience before the Transformers anime.

Its status is no less than that of Huluwa and the animated version of Journey to the West in the mainland.

Think about it, if a well-known director like Zhang Yimou announced that he would make Huluwa into a real person, no matter whether it was good or not, he would get countless attention.

Naturally, it saves a lot of publicity costs.

Transformers, just edited a short clip of the protagonist Optimus Prime’s car deformation, which attracted countless people’s excited speeches on the Internet.

This is more exaggerated than Spider-Man and Hurricane Rescue. The addition of this childhood memory is the most terrifying.

Of course, this is the film itself.

In view of the popularity of Steve Kevin and Spider-Man, the overall popularity of Transformers is actually slightly worse.

However, on the whole, the simultaneous promotion of these three films almost covered the publicity of all other films in the same period.

This includes Paramount’s sequel film, The Secret Service 3.

Of course, it also has a name called Mission Impossible.

That is Kevin’s old friend, Tom Cruise’s series of films.

At the same time that Kevin made Mission Impossible appear in advance, the third part of the series also appeared in advance.

In the original history, the second part of Mission Impossible was released at this time.

It’s now the third part.

However, the popularity of Mission Impossible is completely inferior to these three movies.

It is also a childhood memory. The past of Mission Impossible is too long. Those who take it as childhood memories have become uncle-level characters and begin to feel the pressure of life.

Naturally, I don’t have time to go to the cinema to support it.

As for the director, the director of Mission: Impossible, Brian De Palma, although not bad, has a few movies with good box office results.

But in Hollywood, compared with Steve Kevin, it is obviously unworthy.

As for Spider-Man 2, the Marvel Universe is much better known than Mission: Impossible.

At the same time, Spider-Man 2 also has the popularity of Spider-Man 1, as well as the popularity of Ghost Rider and Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Mission: Impossible is no match.

It can be said that these three movies, no matter which one they are, are incomparable existences of Mission Impossible.

Of course, in addition to Mission Impossible 3, there are also 100% big-invested movies such as the Gladiator and Paramount’s men jointly produced by DreamWorks and Universal Pictures, but the promotion of these movies is completely covered. past.

At the same time, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which Kevin is more familiar with, has also started publicity and will soon land in North American theaters in July.

However, these films are vulnerable in front of the three major productions of Chenxi Films.

Whether it is from the Internet or the survey data on the paper media, the audience’s expectations for these three movies are far greater than other movies.

･･･

The promotion of the morning light movie step by step has been overwhelming.

Tom Cruise, of course, saw these promotional messages.

He suddenly had some ideas.

Originally, he and Nicole Kidman were already in a state of play, and he was ready to divorce Nicole Kidman within two years.

But Nicole Kidman hooked up with Steve Kevin, and he temporarily dismissed the idea.

No way, as a superstar, he knows exactly where he stands.

That is, there are enough good movies at the box office.

In this way, capital will continue to invite him to make movies, and he will be able to get the current top Hollywood remuneration.

maintain the current status.

Since the failure of Green Lantern, thanks to Steve Kevin with the fast and furious movie to give him a hand.

Plus the sequel to the hit movie Mission: Impossible.

The two series of movies are barely able to maintain their superstar status.

However, he still had a very strong sense of crisis in his heart.

This sense of crisis has risen to its peak after seeing the promotion of the three blockbusters of Chenxi Films and easily defeating the popularity of Mission Impossible.

At the same time, he also had an idea.

Hearing Nicole Kidman making noises in his room, Tom Cruise shouted to the room:

“Nini, come out, I have something to discuss with you.”

Nicole Kidman, who was in the room, came out after hearing Cruise’s shout.

Speaking of which, since she and Steve Kevin got together, the relationship between her and Tom Cruise has become more harmonious.

It is more comfortable to get along with than the previous state of detachment.

And no one ever mentioned the divorce.

Tom Cruise wants to keep his relationship with Steve Kevin, while Nicole Kidman is enjoying the benefits of both.

Tom Cruise’s fame, and Steve Kevin’s benefits.

Chapter 354 Going to the Dawn Movie

The name of Tom Cruise’s wife has greatly increased her popularity. Does it match the movie resources given to her by Steve Kevin, which makes her more moisturizing in the industry than before.

Already approaching the position of the first-line actress.

No way, the growth route of female stars is much more difficult than that of male stars.

Especially in this era, an era when feminism has not yet risen.

In this era, the heroines in the movies are basically vases by default, and they require white skin, beautiful appearance and long legs.

Of course, in fact, in this era, it is more in line with the aesthetics of men.

After all, men are so specific and always like women with fair skin and beautiful long legs.

How to say a hundred flowers bloom, it is difficult for people to accept the black mermaid.

Men can deceive their brains, deceive their mouths, but cannot deceive their lower bodies.

It is said that men are lower body animals, but it can only be said that it is true.

“Cruise, what’s wrong?”

Nicole Kidman asked politely.

Neither of the two sides wants to leave the other now, but it is easier to get along than at the beginning, because they have become friends with stakeholders, and everyone speaks from the perspective of their own interests.

Looking at Nicole Kidman, Cruise said with a serious look:

“Nini, do you think if we sign an actor contract with Chenxi Film Company, will Kevin accept it?”

At present, the main business of Chenxi Film is to make movies, and the actors who have signed contracts only have some small supporting roles. It can be said that there are no famous actors in the industry.

That is to say, at present, the actor business of Chenxi Films is very thin.

If he is added, he will immediately become the leading actor of the morning movie, Steve Kevin’s movie, and he will definitely be given priority in the follow-up.

In this way, his status as a superstar will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

It’s just that Dawn Films under the leadership of Steve Kevin has not actually started the business of actors.

It’s the same as any other big studio.

The ultimate reason is that Hollywood actors are not willing to sign contracts with film companies because it is a restriction for them.

Most of them sign contracts with professional brokerage firms.

Negotiating remuneration through brokerage companies is also a common phenomenon in today’s Hollywood.

If you sign a contract with a film company, first of all, the remuneration will definitely not be able to give so much, which is too risky for the film company.

This idea of Tom Cruise is tantamount to reducing his own income.

Because Dawn Films, like most film companies, doesn’t give good prices, and because of Steve Kevin’s reputation, he lowers prices more than other film companies.

The only thing he can get is the movie resources of Chen Xi Movie.

But what Tom Cruise wants is actually movie resources.

Especially Steve Kevin’s film resources.

It is no exaggeration to say that the resources of his films are now the only ones in Hollywood.

Nicole Kidman hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said:

“I do not know either.”

“Kevin never talked to me about casting plans anyway.”

“Then let’s go to Chenxi Film Company and have a chat with Kevin.”

Hearing Cruise’s thoughts, Nicole Kidman hesitated and agreed immediately.

Steve Kevin is a heartless person, she knows this very well.

I don’t know one day when I get tired of her and abandon her.

Rather than waiting for that day to come, find a way to work with Steve Kevin on a deeper level, especially in terms of benefits.

This is the way to a long-term relationship.

Both of them are smart people. After reaching an agreement, they immediately called Kevin and got the news that Kevin was in the company tomorrow, so they agreed with Kevin to meet tomorrow.

･･･

Hanging up, Kevin wasn’t sure what the Tom Cruises had to do with him.

But what he has to deal with now is the schedule of these three movies.

The previous schedule, generally speaking, was determined after the film was shot and communicated with the theater.

Now, Kevin has changed his approach.

Promote it first, wait for the popularity of the movie to pick up, and then take this wave of popularity to negotiate with the theater.

With the fame of Steve Kevin and the record of Chenxi Movies, Kevin tried to force the theaters to make concessions and give a higher share.

It’s a treat unique to Hollywood giants.

Although Chenxi Movie is not a giant in the true sense, its size and record have the capital to do so.

Of course, having said so much, the essence is to reduce the investment cost of movies.

From three times the box office return to double the box office return, the gap between this is the gap between ordinary film companies and giants.

Of course, this negotiation was naturally not Kevin’s.

This kind of troublesome thing, the company has a special team to be responsible for.

Today, there are more than 300 people in Chenxi Movies, and some of them are outside the channel, and there are 400 people as a whole.

This is already quite a large company.

The company naturally has such strong negotiators.

a few hours later.

Dawson came to Kevin’s office with a smile on his face.

“Have you talked about it?”

Kevin asked quietly.
