Kevin's Rising Ambition

It is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing to be able to become a shareholder of MGM.

"Okay, I will definitely let MGM participate in the production of the next movie, but MGM may only account for 50% of the investment amount."

Kevin said seriously.

Leiter nodded, although only 50% of the ratio, but in the same way, this also greatly reduces the risk of investment.

MGM has not produced a classic for many years, and now there are not many foreign investors, so it can only be invested internally by the company.

Risk reduction is also a good thing,

"I look forward to your contact, Kevin."

Leiter handed Kevin a special business card of his own, with a gilt pattern on it, which was very valuable.

In fact, the business card is gilded with several grams of gold, which can be sold for a few hundred dollars.

Not a very important person, Leiter will not give out this kind of business card.

Kevin took the business card and put it in his wallet.

It's still the leather wallet Julie bought him, it seems to be some brand name, and it cost a few thousand dollars, but Kevin doesn't care about those things.

Of course, Julie was willing to pay him money, and he was quite happy,

...

"President, someone from MGM, is reaching out to Kevin."

As the president, Jeff Robinoff was celebrating with others the achievements made by escaping from Breaking Town when he heard news from others.

Hearing this, his face turned black.

If Kevin is pulled over by MGM, Warner Bros. will suffer a heavy loss, and he, the president, is also to blame.

Hearing the news, he hurriedly searched for Kevin's location in the party.

..

"Director Kevin, I'm Kai'Sa, are you interested in chatting with me about filmmaking?"

It was a model of a typical American blonde and sweet girl. The peaks in front of her were shaking and choppy, making people want to bury their heads in it.

Kevin admitted that he had this idea.

Kaisha shook the weapon in front of her and looked confidently at Julie who was beside Kevin.

Angelina Jolie has become a legend in the modeling circle at this time, attending parties, hooking up with a movie with unlimited potential, and acting as the heroine of a blockbuster movie when she first entered Hollywood.

Her experience has long made countless models' eyes red with envy.

At the same time, countless models want to take advantage of the same experience to take advantage of this.

Kai'Sa is one of them.

Julie was a little nervous and grabbed Kevin's hand suddenly hard.

Kevin quickly shook his head.

"no need."

After all, ignore these models who strike up a conversation.

"Kevin!"

Jeff Robinoff hurried over and said with a little nervousness:

"I heard that the president of MGM just came to see you?"

Jeff Robinoff regretted it in his heart, who knew that a party would actually provoke hungry wolves.

If Kevin is poached by MGM, then Warners will lose a lot.

Kevin smiled calmly and said:

"Don't be nervous, I just added an investor, my next work is destined to be a big production,"

"If only one company takes it, the risk is too high, and it is bound to introduce foreign capital."

Jeff Robinoff asked tentatively:

"Kevin, how much money do you expect your next film to cost?"

Kevin stretched out five fingers and said:

"At least $50 million, and it's not a horror movie."

Jeff Robinoff sucked in a breath of cold air, stop it, don't invest, it's like pushing Kevin outside.

In terms of investment, although Kevin has made two big movies, they are all low-budget horror movies.

Big investment, and this investment is definitely not a horror movie, which means that the odds of losing money are high.

In the event of a loss, if the full investment is made, even Warner Bros. will also suffer greatly.

In the face of Kevin's statement, Jeff Robinoff was at a loss for words.

This investment, he has no way to persuade other executives of Warner Bros. to accept it.

The final result is also to absorb funds from the outside world and share risks.

Among Hollywood, there are three types of funds to invest in movies.

The first is the film company's own funds, which are generally relatively stable projects, or some small investment works.

Do your best to minimize risk.

Of course, even so, there are not a few movie companies that go bankrupt in the future.

The second is some overseas investors. They watch Hollywood movies and loot the box office all over the world. They are too greedy and eager to join in.

And Hollywood will give some movies with relatively high investment risk to these foreign funds for investment, but even so, it is very difficult for these foreign funds to finally retreat.

Hollywood will do whatever it takes to keep that money in Hollywood.

The benefits that foreign funds can obtain are much smaller than those in Hollywood.

The third type is the funds outside Hollywood and in the United States, that is, major fund companies and other investment companies.

If Kevin continues to shoot low-cost horror films with a cost of less than 10 million, Warner Bros. is really willing to vote.

But now, he wants to shoot other subjects, and at the same time invests up to 50 million US dollars, which is worth considering.

"Warner Bros. will always be your strongest supporter. If you invest 50 million, Warner Bros. will invest at least 30% first."

Jeff Robinoff, in his own right, promised.

Kevin nodded, and did not reveal the conditions and conditions of MGM.

In a capitalist society, everything depends on money.

If Warner knows that MGM is going to give him shares, it will either take a greater temptation to cooperate with him, or it will completely withdraw from the investment and directly destroy the cooperation between MGM and him.

From Kevin's perspective, there's no need to take the risk.

It is also a good choice to become an MGM shareholder steadily, after the success of his first film with MGM.

According to his estimation, MGM will give him a 1% stake at most.

But Kevin's ambitions don't stop there.

After removing the money from his own hands for the April tax payment, there was still a lot left.

In the new movie, he himself will also occupy part of the investment amount, which will all be converted into shares of MGM.

The sudden opportunity gave Kevin a path to further growth.

As for MGM not agreeing?

Carrying the name of the success of three consecutive films, if they don't agree, Kevin will not work with them on the next film.

And MGM will continue to be in trouble.

It can be said that at this time MGM, except for Kevin, no one can save.

Not taking advantage of this opportunity to get the greatest benefit is simply wasting this rare opportunity.

MGM's heritage, plus Marvel's IP, plus Kevin's prophet...
