MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 198

The reason why these brand owners trust him so much is precisely because Steve Kevin never cheats on partners, and the word success is synonymous with him.

His reputation is the best guarantee.

These brands know that Steve Kevin won't ruin his reputation for just over $100 million.

After all, Steve Kevin's golden sign is worth two billion at least in Hollywood. This is the good reputation he has worked so hard for.

Chapter 291 Disney's Thoughts

"Several, let's discuss the specific cooperation plan next."

Kevin and several partners directly began to discuss the specific sponsorship plan, including how many seconds to use the close-up of the car logo, the details of how many cars they sponsor, and so on.

Of course, when the contract is signed later, there will be a professional negotiating team to discuss the details.

However, in the general direction, it is the amount currently set.

As for whether anyone dared to play him, just thinking about it, he knew it was impossible, these people couldn't afford to offend him.

While Kevin was busy negotiating details with sponsors.

Harry Potter is still in the air, with overwhelming commercials and recommendations from viewers who have seen it, plus this excellent schedule.

Let countless audiences have walked into the cinema.

Just like that, from the time of the release, a week passed in a blink of an eye.

In a week's time, Harry Potter made a box office of 300 million US dollars, and then the box office began to plummet, and only more than 20 million US dollars at the box office.

Judging from this drop, after the final release, the box office will end at more than 400 million US dollars. In this regard, Kevin has not humiliated Harry Potter, an adult fairy tale ip.

At the same time, after Harry Potter achieved such an achievement, Dawson immediately began to follow the channel of MGM, preparing to release Harry Potter all over the world.

Thanks to Steve Kevin's reputation and negotiating with theaters in other countries, the Morning Movie always carries a kind of preferential treatment.

To put it bluntly, everyone knows that Steve Kevin's movies will definitely make money, and naturally no one refuses to win with them.

In the US, of course.

Movies are actually not Kevin's focus for a long time.

Hogwarts amusement park is the focus of Kevin's attention.

With the two sisters, Kevin personally came to the Hogwarts theme park and felt the audience's response on the spot.

Exactly, at this time of the week, when a few young Harry Potter actors come to the theme park to play Harry Potter.

Of course, among the other actors in the plot, among them, who are willing to sign an appearance contract with the theme park that pays according to the performance, Kevin also signed a lot of actors.

This is a kind of high-quality and inexpensive thing. In the Harry Potter movies, except for Dumbledore who used the original actors, other actors can be said to have changed almost over and over again.

The remuneration has been compressed to the extreme, and the main funds have been invested in special effects.

This kind of magic movie has insufficient special effects, so the main selling point fails at the beginning. Instead of using the remuneration on the actors, it is better to use it on the special effects.

On this point, Kevin wants to criticize the mainland film and television circles.

It's not that an actor can't get a high salary, but you can't just get paid for a movie or a TV series.

The actors' remuneration accounted for half of the production costs, so the show was declared a failure from the beginning.

"Kevin, here, here."

Helen waved and pulled Kevin in the crowd to play the haunted house project.

In this theme park, some amusement parks should have the items, but Kevin also made some adaptations.

For example, in the haunted house, there are not some traditional Western ghosts, but several monsters that have appeared in Harry Potter. Of course, they are not too scary.

If someone really thinks that the haunted house is scary to make money, it is a layman.

The haunted house is a game similar to hide and seek. The point is that you chase after me. The map is very important. In this theme park, there is even a maze.

It can be said that some are in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, some are in theme parks, some are not in the movie, but what is mentioned in the novel, Kevin has also arranged Restored and designed as a game.

What Kevin wants to do is to let every child who comes to play here have a deep memory of this place.

Strive to be a good part of their childhood, and these actions will pay Kevin handsomely in the future.

After disguising, Kevin played a few projects with the two sisters, and then he came to the most critical simulation game of Hogwarts school.

In fact, it is role-playing. Everyone plays Harry Potter, and some other popular characters in the play, and they all participate in this game together.

After personally experiencing the games in the theme park, Kevin was quite satisfied with the content of the Hogwarts theme park, and he was more confident about the Hogwarts investment promotion plan.

But this matter is not so urgent for the time being.

The Harry Potter movie has just been negotiated, and there is still a lot of time before it is released overseas.

After the release, the heat will spread and it will take longer. These things cannot be solved in a short time.

Of course, the excellent ticket sales data of the Hogwarts theme park in the early stage is also the key point, and these will take time to come out.

After the dust has settled in a few months, Kevin is ready to attract investment from all over the world and promote the Hogwarts theme park project to the world at one time.

･･･

On the other hand, the big sale of the Hogwarts theme park has successfully attracted the attention of the capital giant, the Disney Group.

In this era, Disney's market value has already reached hundreds of billions of dollars, which is also one of the few large groups in the United States.

Its main revenue comes from three categories: media, theme parks, amusement parks, and resorts, as well as consumer goods.

The most important of these are the theme parks and amusement parks. These amusement parks are like money printing machines, scavenging large sums of money for Disney.

With these amusement park projects, Disney will never be defeated. This is the difference between the industrial economy and the network economy.

The influence of industry is too great.

A discussion within Disney.

It was held quietly.

"Everyone, Hogwarts theme park has sold hundreds of thousands of tickets in just a few days. Our investigators who have been to Hogwarts theme park are full of praise."

"I propose to directly acquire Chenxi Film Company and Dawn Entertainment Company, and at the same time, it must be bound to Steve Kevin."

"He is terrible. I think he has the power to create a giant. If this goes on, our big entertainment plan will fail in advance."

Disney knows the importance of Hollywood better than anyone, and they have been in Hollywood for a long time.

Bowei, one of the Hollywood giants, is their wholly-owned film company.

Of course, in the future, Bowei will change its name to Disney Pictures.

That's when Disney really made its debut in Hollywood.

Chapter 292 Want to buy Chenxi?

"I agree with Dean. It is imperative to acquire Steve Kevin's film industry. Marvel and Harry Potter, these two big IPs, are enough to create a Hollywood supergiant."

"Then let Dean talk."

"It must be acquired. If it can't be acquired, we can't let him develop like this."

"right."

"..."

After a brief discussion about the details and how much money should be spent on the acquisition.

Disney's vice president, Dean, went to Dawn Films with a mission.

-------------------------------------

It's been half a month since Harry Potter was released.

The box office has dropped to about 10 million, and the film layout has already dropped to more than ten percent.

But here, Harry Potter's box office has reached 400 million US dollars. According to this decline, Harry Potter's North American box office is expected to exceed the 500 million mark.

Better than Kevin himself expected.

In the office, watching an American favorite family-themed script compiled by two gold medal editors according to his ideas, Kevin showed a satisfied smile on his face.

This is a fine script that cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At the same time, the gold medal editors don't need the right to sign, which is why they offer such a price.

For Kevin, the one hundred thousand dollars, if it can save him a few overnight stays and a few dead brain cells, it is all worth it.

As for whether this counts as finding a shooter, in fact, this is a very routine operation in Hollywood, and Kevin also did it in order to avoid having to give the editor a share in the later stage, so even the editor, the producer and the director did it together.

This can save a lot of money for the morning movie.

Just as Kevin was calculating the cost in his mind according to the script, Dawson came in.

"Kevin, Disney has come and said they want to buy us."

"?"

Kevin frowned.

His only connection with Disney is to license the Pirates of the Caribbean to Disney, but Kevin plans to take back the copyright of the Pirates of the Caribbean in a few years, after all, his Hogwarts amusement park will be mature by then.

Use it yourself, no better than giving it to Disney.

Why did Disney suddenly have the idea of ​​an acquisition?

Kevin, who was a little confused, nodded and said:

"You take them to the VIP reception room, and I'll come after a while."

After tidying up his appearance and thinking about Disney's intention in his heart, Kevin took a step and went to the VIP reception room.

"Hello Director Kevin, I'm the vice president of Disney Group, and my name is Dean."

"Hi, my name is Steve Kevin."

After a simple courtesy, the two took their seats.

The deputy who accompanied Dean did not speak, and silently listened to the conversation between the two big men.

"Listen to Dawn, Mr. Dean is here today to buy my Chenxi Film Company and Dawn Entertainment Company?"

Kevin looked at Dean with a half-smile, and asked directly.

With the current market value of Chenxi Film Company and Dawn Entertainment Company, as long as Kevin still owns them, it is no exaggeration to say that the value is as high as tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, the premise is that these two companies cannot be separated from Kevin's control. Everyone knows that Kevin is the source of the high market value of these two companies.

Dean smiled as if he couldn't understand Kevin's mocking face, and said:

"Yes, I am here today for the purpose of representing the Disney Group to acquire Chenxi Films and Dawn Entertainment."

"After our company's internal research, it is believed that the content business of your two companies is a great complement to our Disney."

"We have enough capital contacts, and you have IP, strong operational capabilities, and you can make movies."

"This is a powerful alliance. Joining Disney, Chenxi Films will grow even faster, and we can even merge Bowei Films into Chenxi."

Dean looked at Kevin brightly.

This condition is not too high.

Bowei is currently in Hollywood, with a market value of several billion dollars, and is one of the most well-deserved Hollywood giants.

Disney's willingness to pay tens of billions of dollars in order to acquire Chenxi Film Company and Dawn Entertainment Company shows its sincerity.

This time, even Kevin felt that Disney was really sincere.

After all, apart from the fact that he can see the future and know that the IPs currently in his hands will add up to a market of at least hundreds of billions in the future, in the eyes of ordinary people, the current Chenxi Movies and Dawning Entertainment add up to several billion. God.

Unfortunately, even if Disney is sincere, Kevin, who knows what he can develop into in the future, is absolutely impossible to accept Disney's conditions.

I saw Kevin shook his head and said:

"I feel the sincerity of your Disney, but this is my career, and I can't sell it."

Seeing Kevin's refusal so succinctly, Dean added the code again:
