After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 257:

For the IP of Transformers, the follow-up copyright income is the bulk.

Kevin can get DVD and movie licensing revenue, but the peripherals have nothing to do with him, this is negotiated from the beginning.

Thinking about it is a little uncomfortable.

But on second thought, in fact, this money is not in his turn to earn.

This is the IP he grabbed from the hands of other film companies.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t seem to be so unsatisfactory.

･･･

“Kevin, shall we go to the movies together tomorrow?”

In the morning movie, in Kevin’s office, Mitt handed over the movie tickets for tomorrow’s premiere.

If the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors is said to be Zack Snyder’s independent work as a director.

Then this Transformers is the first blockbuster that Mitt independently directed.

Handing Kevin’s movie box office, it’s a bit like letting the teacher watch his achievements.

“Okay, did you call them?”

After taking the movie tickets, Kevin asked casually.

At present, the directors in the company are basically busy, or they are in the break time after the end of a movie.

I don’t know if Mitt shouted to them or not.

Mitt raised his eyebrows and said to himself:

“Of course, I called, can you come?”

Mitt’s character is quite familiar, and he gets along well with other people in the company.

As soon as he shouted, the directors of Chenxi Film Company, whether they were filming or on vacation, all came to cheer.

Kevin nodded, and then suddenly said:

“Mitte, this time we have to make a special account for Transformers, do you have any opinion?”

Mitt smiled:

“It’s okay, Hasbro is too greedy, and naturally it has to pay a price. As for my reputation as a loss, it doesn’t matter. Just let’s Dawn Movies, can we make less movies for me?”

The treatment of Chen Xi Movie is very generous, and there is also Kevin’s brotherhood. Mitt is not worried about this trivial matter.

Ordinary directors may also be afraid that after a loss, it will affect their investment in the next movie, but he doesn’t need to worry about this in Chenxi Company.

Chapter 376 Civilization disguised as a country

With his relationship with Steve Kevin, no filming?

nonexistent.

In Hollywood, there are really not many directors who have this kind of treatment.

That’s a long-established director.

With this kind of treatment, he is reluctant to go out even if he is allowed to go out.

However, Kevin also told them that after taking more shots, they can shoot whatever they want in the future, and their autonomy will become bigger and bigger.

In other words, in the early stage, follow the development direction set by Kevin, and in the later stage, when they earn almost, they can shoot whatever they want.

Facing Mitt’s answer, Kevin was also very satisfied.

The relationship between people is originally a relationship of emotion and interest.

In addition to blood ties, brotherhood and marriage, there are more or less choices based on pros and cons.

Thinking of this, Kevin suddenly remembered a popular question on the Internet in his previous life.

Mother and wife fell into the water at the same time, who will save first.

In fact, no matter what he says, Kevin can conclude that 90% of men will choose to save their mother first.

How can the blood and family relationship be comparable to the relationship between husband and wife.

The woman who asks this kind of question is also very stupid. From another perspective, if her son is faced with this kind of problem, does she want her son to save herself or his wife first.

In the end, it’s just another big double standard.

If a woman is the role of a mother, she must hope that her son will save her.

If a woman is in the role of a girlfriend, she must hope that her husband will save her first. Both are choices based on her own identity.

Therefore, even if it is a brother who has a good relationship with himself, Kevin is businesslike in terms of money, and will never take advantage of it, and will give a little more generously than ordinary.

The reason is that there will be no problems in friendship because of money.

With the two-pronged approach, Kevin really didn’t believe that his gang of brothers would choose to leave Chenxi Film Company.

“That’s for sure. There are too many projects for Chenxi movies to finish. You can choose by yourself. You can shoot whatever type you like.”

As soon as Kevin’s promise came out, Mitt immediately said:

“Kevin, I found that I like to make movies based on games and anime, like Transformers.”

“Those Japanese arcade games and anime are my favorite subjects.”

Kevin raised his eyebrows. After knowing Mitt for so long, he realized that Mitt was actually a two-dimensional person.

I have to say that the second dimension is a niche culture no matter what time it is.

Kevin himself doesn’t know much about animation, and he only knows a few well-known migrant workers in Japan.

And the second dimension generally doesn’t dare to say anything to friends.

Somewhat afraid of social death.

Such a strong man is actually two-dimensional, which is somewhat inconsistent.

However, Kevin has an inexplicable idea that those who like the second dimension are not bad people. It seems that this idea is quite accurate.

Kevin has been able to get to where he is today, and Mitt has given him a lot of support, and he is also very enthusiastic about him.

Truly a reliable friend.

After listening to Mitt’s words, Kevin had a smile on his face:

“Mitte, do you know that I have acquired the copyrights of many Japanese manga-adapted TV movies, as well as Japanese game-adapted TV movies?”

Mitt was stunned.

He really didn’t know this, and he didn’t pay much attention to the company’s copyright library.

But with that said, it seems that his next movie project is on the line.

Then go to the company’s copyright library to have a look.

Thinking of this, Mitt suddenly said happily:

“That’s great. After a period of rest, I’ll find a Japanese game adaptation project.”

“My favorite is Street Fighter, and I’ve been wanting to put them on the big screen for a long time.”

“No, I don’t recommend adapting this kind of story, these things don’t fit into a movie.”

Mitt made a positive statement, but Kevin directly dismissed his idea.

The reason is very simple, Hollywood has never made a successful comic book movie in the previous life.

The same goes for Street Fighter.

Of course, the manga movies in Kevin’s definition actually include anime, games, etc.

This is the impact of the integration of the Japanese animation industry. Street Fighter, in Japan, has games, manga and anime, and is also classified by Kevin as a comic book movie.

As for the reason for the failure of the comic book movie, it is actually very simple. The mainland, Japan and South Korea are deeply influenced by mainland culture. In their culture, there are many unique ideas. This is beyond the understanding of Americans who have only been born for more than 200 years. of.

To understand it, you must have a concept of Chinese civilization.

Thinking of this, Kevin recalled the comments of several celebrities on the mainland.

In 1803, Napoleon said to the continent on the map:

“Here lies a sleeping giant, let him sleep, once he wakes up, it will shake the world.”

In 2012, Kissinger, an important figure in the United States, wrote a book called On the Continent.

In it, Kissinger believes that the decline of the continent in the past two hundred years is just a short-lived accident in history and is not normal.

The fact is also true, the mainland has always stood at the top of the world for thousands of years, and the decline is only temporary.

And to sum it all up, there is one sentence Kevin strongly agrees with.

That is the continent, a civilization disguised as a country.

No country is so special, no matter who it is, as long as the mainland is unified, it will inherit a country called Chinese civilization.

Therefore, for thousands of years, the history of this land has never been interrupted.

There are many of the same ancient civilizations, but they have never been so special.

Such as the Roman Empire, their glory needless to say.

But the descendants of the Roman Empire did not consider themselves Romans, nor did they have the will to restore the country.

This includes most Europeans.

In Europe, culture is linked by blood relationship, or religion, and each nation must establish a separate country.

Only the mainland is based on civilization identification.

If you identify with Chinese culture, if you think you are Chinese, then you are Chinese.

Of course, this is from the heart, not some two devils who make money from both ends.

Off topic, Kevin means.

Even in his current situation, he still recognizes his identity as a mainlander. Although he may not go back in his life, he identifies with the mainland in his heart.

Five thousand years of culture has soaked his soul, which cannot be shaken by two hundred years of American culture.

This culture is also reflected in the cultural and entertainment works that are infused with these cultures.

Kevin can easily understand some of these concepts, such as taking revenge for the master in Chinese, Japanese and Korean cultures, and being a teacher for one day and a father for life.

There are so-called spiritual practices, and other things.

In short, these people in the country including the Chinese civilization, are very easy to understand.

Chapter 377 The Movie Screening Begins – Transformers

But when these cultures are brought into the eyes of Americans, they will feel very incredible.

They will issue ten thousand whys.

They can’t understand.

Under such circumstances, the film that is made is unpleasant, and the dog will not watch it, which is nondescript.

Of course, there are some that are understandable.

Like that kind of cyberpunk comics.

But these are minority, Kevin does not take.

Even the great director, James Cameron, also missed on this subject, which has to be said to be a pity.

Kevin also went to the cinema in person and supported the movie, Battle Angel Alita, which was adapted from the Japanese manga Gunmeng.

I have to say that James Cameron still has two brushes. Kevin actually likes this movie from a personal point of view.

However, the content of this movie is still somewhat petty.

Originally a very good comic against the connotation of class oppression, it turned into a future artificial human battle.

The overall kernel is almost meaningless.

Somewhat boring.
