Chapter 78

"President LTECH, you have to give everyone an opinion on the matter of director Steve Kevin leaving MGM and working alone with Warner."

"Yes, let me give you an explanation."

Several senior executives made it.

Leiter's position in MGM was already unstable, but because of winning over Kevin, his position was temporarily stabilized.

The result has just tasted the sweetness here in Kevin.

Kevin turned his head and went to work with Warner, and these MGM executives were angry.

And this resentment finally broke out now that Batman's box office is booming.

In the face of these executives' troubles, Leiter said helplessly:

"The contract we signed with Steve Kevin was two films in three years and five films in ten years."

"He did exactly what he was contracted to do, what can we do."

The executives were speechless for a while, and looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.

MGM, because of Pirates of the Caribbean and the previous Mission: Impossible, finally made money.

Last year, these executives, each of them received a lot of bonuses.

But this year is going to be difficult. It's almost June, and MGM doesn't have a big project at all except for a few small productions.

Earnings this year are worrisome.

In the conference room, there was a sudden cloud of gloom, and everyone was racking their brains to find a way.

An executive raised his head and said tentatively:

"President LTECH, otherwise, on behalf of everyone, go and ask Director Kevin."

"Batman has just ended. His new project should not be determined yet. How can he be a major shareholder of our MGM, why should we consider us for new projects?"

Other executives looked at Leiter with hopeful eyes.

All the pressure was instantly concentrated on Leiter.

Leiter was about to answer when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A blonde OL secretary in a black suit walked in and said respectfully:

"President, Director Steve Kevin is here and said he wants to see you."

Leiter stood up abruptly, his face full of joy.

God is pitiful, his president is too aggrieved.

"The meeting is over, I'll go talk to Kevin."

After all, under the guidance of the secretary, Leiter walked towards Kevin's exclusive office.

Chapter 124 Where did the money for the acquisition of MGM come from?

….

Since becoming a shareholder of MGM, Kevin has such an exclusive office.

But Kevin has only come here once or twice since the office was established.

This is the first time he feels the feeling of working at MGM.

It has to be said that regardless of past or present life, he prefers freelance work.

Only by freelancing can he feel what it is like to be alive. Going to work is like walking dead, which makes him feel what it is like to be restrained.

Sitting on the big sofa in his office, Kevin drank the iced coffee just poured by Lett's secretary, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Kevin, here you are."

Leiter pushed open the door and came in, saying nonsense.

But the happy expression on his face revealed his inner thoughts.

Obviously, he is very happy for Kevin's arrival.

"Let, do others have a problem with me not letting MGM invest in Batman."

Kevin asked directly.

The purpose of his coming today is not only to get MGM to invest, but also to beat MGM's people.

Let them know what would happen to MGM without Steve Kevin.

At the same time, test whether they are willing to support their acquisition of MGM.

It will pave the way for a complete acquisition of MGM in the future.

There was an embarrassing smile on Leiter's face. Kai Wenming had no one at MGM, but he seemed to know everything that happened in MGM.

That being the case, he didn't have to hide it.

And he also wanted to use this situation to test Kevin's attitude.

He spent so much money to buy shares in MGM, but he was so lukewarm that he couldn't feel the importance he paid to shares of MGM at all.

This makes it very incomprehensible.

"There are indeed many high-level executives who expressed their confusion to me. Just now, everyone was still discussing this matter. For the Batman you filmed, you were very disappointed that you did not let MGM invest."

Kevin's face flashed a look of noncommittal, and he said:

"I'm here this time for the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel."

"This time, Chenxi Film will invest 60%, MGM will invest 40%, and the specific copyright share is the same as the first film."

"At the same time, Dawn Film is responsible for everything that leads the film, and MGM doesn't care about anything other than the financial oversight of the use of funds."

"You only need to be responsible for some of the announcements after the film is made."

Hearing these words, Leiter felt a headache for a moment, he knew that Kevin's request this time would inevitably cause huge repercussions in MGM.

As a well-established film company, MGM has declined in recent years.

But these executives still have the pride of a Hollywood mogul in their hearts.

Kevin is just slapping his face.

It's almost like saying directly, MGM can't do it.

That's why Leiter, as the president with the highest probability of being replaced, doesn't have these messy thoughts.

Dedicated to getting the data on the financial statements right.

He didn't want to take the blame for this.

Hastily said:

"Then, is there a meeting with the company's executives?"

"Row."

…

After a while, the ten or so senior executives of the company came to the conference room again.

But this time it was Steve Kevin in the main seat.

Unlike the previous dissatisfaction with Kevin in the conference room, here, every executive, from the face, is obedient to Kevin.

Kevin glanced at it, and then said calmly:

"Let's talk about the new project, the investment in the sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean by Dawn Films."

As soon as these words came out, the executives below all smiled.

The sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean is simply a business of standing and picking up money.

It seems that Steve Kevin still has MGM in his heart.

But of course, the 10% stake in MGM has more than doubled after two big movies.

If other small shareholders let go at this time, they will have made double the profit.

Investors currently investing in movie stocks have a superstitious confidence in the name Steve Kevin.

As long as Steve Kevin didn't sell his stake in MGM, everyone else was full of confidence in MGM at this time.

That's the absolute confidence that comes with a five-movie hit in a row.

As long as Steve Kevin can continue his unbeaten box office myth, then his existence can keep MGM's shares firmly above the current price.

"…"

Kevin repeated what he said to Reiter.

The executives present suddenly looked ugly one by one.

Unlike Reiter, who worked at MGM for three or four years, many of these executives have been working at MGM since they were in their twenties.

Up to now, it has been twenty or thirty years.

These times have developed to the present, and they are not only the executives of MGM, but they are also minority shareholders of MGM.

There are more than 3%, and less than 1% of the shares.

Combined, it also occupies more than 10% of MGM's shares.

The emotion for MGM is not just about going to work.

To a certain extent, they are also one of the reasons for the decline of MGM, which lacks both the backstage of large media companies and the flexibility of young people.

"Director Kevin, are you insulting MGM?"

A senior executive asked with an ugly face.

"No, it's just that I own 100% of Chenxi Films, and I only have 10% of MGM. In comparison, Chenxi is what really belongs to me."

Everyone was at a loss for words.

Kevin's words seem reasonable.

This is simply an unsolvable dead end.

They suddenly didn't know what to say.

How could Steve Kevin abandon more interests to support MGM.

No one else can do it.

Even in this case, they were worried, in case Steve Kevin gave up on MGM.

Then MGM is really helpless.

The financial reports in recent years can almost be said to be appalling, with losses every year, but only last year's profits.

Leiter watched everything from the side, looking at Kevin's expression, he suddenly understood what he meant.

Interjected:

"Otherwise, Kevin, you buy more shares. If MGM is also yours, it will definitely not be this kind of treatment."

A word woke the dreamer.

There are no fools who can sit in this position.

If Steve Kevin really doesn't care about MGM, then the previous words don't need to be so clear at all.

Having said so much, it shows that Kevin actually attaches great importance to MGM.

The meaning is obvious.

Steve Kevin, trying to swallow MGM.

This····

Everyone thought about it in their minds, and suddenly realized that if MGM was acquired by Steve Kevin, it seemed like a good thing.

Unlike the layman of the previous casino tycoon, it was replaced by Steve Kevin, an insider, to lead MGM, and nothing else.

Make more hit movies.
