Chapter 127

With this confidence, Kevin directly asked Davis to open the data to see how much the Matrix's first-day box office was.

Chapter 190 Steve Kevin plagiarized?

Davis is very good.

After taking these materials, he looked directly at the top.

Steve Kevin's films always have the highest box office in the same period. As long as you look at the top of the data, there is definitely no problem.

"The Matrix's first-day box office was $61,833,680!"

With this amount, even Kevin couldn't hold back his expression.

The original Matrix, released in 1999, took half a year to shoot.

The difference between the price and the current theoretical price will not be too big.

The Matrix grossed $170 million at the North American box office at the time.

That is to say, after Kevin's adaptation, various bonuses and publicity are added.

The Matrix took one-third of the original Matrix's total score in one day.

This beautiful first-day box office data, even Kevin himself, was unexpected.

To know the first-day box office of Batman The Dark Knight, there is no such data.

Davis is even more ecstatic. Judging from this data, even if the Titanic loses all, the Matrix can recover this part of the loss for them.

Coupled with the unanimously optimistic Independence Day within the company.

This year's Fox's annual financial report will finally not be too ugly.

With this joy, Davis said with joy:

"Congratulations, Kevin, you've set a Hollywood record yet again."

"Can I invite you to dinner together?"

In a good mood, Kevin and Dawson gladly accepted Davis' invitation to go to dinner together.

Just when they were happy, other studios were not so happy.

Among Time Warner.

As soon as The Matrix's first-day box office came out, Robinoff and other executives were instantly rejoicing.

Fortunately, it was too early for Kevin to give up on Warner.

Otherwise, the killing moment really encounters the Matrix, and I am afraid there will be no scum left.

However, this high first-day box office also stirred the minds of Warner executives.

They have put various opinions to Robinoff, and the unanimous meaning is that, no matter what, they should also get on the line with Steve Kevin and participate in the investment of his new film.

This kind of director who makes money as long as he invests, can't find a second director in Hollywood.

If they can achieve the kind of close cooperation with Kevin before, Warner's future performance will not have to worry them at all.

Robinov himself has the same plan.

However, how to pull Kevin into the car again is a question that needs to be studied.

On the other side, Mira Maxne.

With the increasing status of Steve Kevin, Harvey Weinstein has long lost the idea of ​​dealing with him, and has reduced his sense of existence in daily life.

So as not to provoke revenge from Steve Kevin.

But today, a tool to attack Steve Kevin was delivered to him like this.

Faced with the possibility of making Steve Kevin stink, Harvey Weinstein was moved.

However, in order to prevent getting burned, this kind of thing must not be operated by him alone.

Harvey Weinstein hurriedly took the evidence and went to the place where he could deal with Steve Kevin.

･･･

Beverly Films.

The president of Bowei, looking at the evidence of Harvey Weinstein, frowned and said:

"Are you sure the Matrix is ​​plagiarism?"

Harvey Weinstein nodded and said with great certainty:

"I don't say that it is 100% the same, but a discerning person can see that the core content of the Matrix is ​​very similar to this script."

"As long as there are enough people willing to speak out, then he is plagiarizing."

Harvey Weinstein's meaning is very simple, whether Steve Kevin plagiarized or not, as long as there are enough people who are willing to say that he is plagiarizing.

Then he is plagiarism, people always follow blindly, and a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

With such a specious piece of evidence, in the hands of a conscientious person, it is enough to launch an attack on Steve Kevin.

In fact, the script submitted by the Wachowskis is far from complete compared to Steve Kevin's script.

But in their mouths, this just proves that this script is the original manuscript of The Matrix.

Perfect for attacking Steve Kevin.

The president of Bowei has the word "thinking" written all over his face.

From his heart, in fact, he did not want to offend Steve Kevin.

But if you can really knock Steve Kevin to the ground, the benefits are too many.

First is the schedule.

They don't have to face a strong competitor like Steve Kevin every year.

Now every year, as soon as a new Steve Kevin movie comes out, they avoid it.

The originally scheduled schedule had to be changed because of this, which caused many headaches.

Also unintentionally, let Steve Kevin get a lot of enemies.

Bowei is one of them. Anyway, Steve Kevin has never cooperated with them. It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to bring down Steve Kevin.

But again, Bo Wei must not be able to go head-to-head.

The collision between Steve Kevin and Warner, Hollywood who doesn't know.

The result is that Warner's new movies, everyone said that the quality is good, the audience's reputation is also good, but it is not a box office.

All the box office was robbed by Pirates of the Caribbean.

It led to a good movie, and the movie company lost money.

Bona didn't want that to happen.

There must be a backer.

Thinking of this, President Bona turned his attention to Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein suddenly felt a cold, and could not help looking left and right.

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

"The Matrix copied the script of the rookie directors Wachowski Brothers, today's hottest hit!"

"It is rumored that Dawn, the film company directed by Steve Kevin, once received the Wachowskis' script, but did not adopt it. Unexpectedly, just yesterday, the Wachowskis watched it in the cinema. After the Matrix, I found out that it is roughly the same as the script I prepared before."

"Another Rashomon incident? Has the big Hollywood director stole the years of work of the Wachowski brothers, the rookie directors?"

"..."

Dawn Film Company.

Kevin drank tea while watching the news published in the newspaper.

The tea is top-quality Pu'er, and a tea cake costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is not cheap.

Taking a sip, I felt the smooth taste between my lips and teeth, and the unique old fragrance of Pu'er, and then I slowly put down the teacup in my hand.

"Kevin..."

Dawson watched Kevin's actions and couldn't help but get anxious.

Suddenly there are so many negative news, you must react immediately, otherwise, it will have an impact on the box office.

"Don't worry, 20th Century Fox is more worried than us about this matter. We will wait for their investigation results."

Reassuring Dawson, Kevin wondered who had used the Wachowskis to attack him.

As for plagiarism?

Just kidding, this script is different from the original hacker script. Even if the Wachowski brothers came up with the script, they would at most say something similar.

From the script to the screen, I don't know how many gaps there are. Do you really think that the film is exactly the same as the script?

There must be someone out there doing it.

Chapter 191 The Wachowski Brothers

However, as a top-level director, Kevin himself should not inadvertently hurt the interests of others too much.

I really asked Kevin to check it himself, but he really couldn't find out what the problem was.

Hollywood is full of friends and enemies.

As long as Kevin is no longer the same, the enemies everywhere will show up. In order to prevent this from happening, Kevin has always been managing contacts and sharing interests.

This gradually laid a solid foundation.

.....

Inside Twentieth Century Fox.

high-level meeting.

Davis put away his amiable appearance in front of Kevin and exploded into a rage.

"Check, give me a speed check and find out who is targeting us at Fox."

Davis' face is full of anger. As the president of a large company, don't be polite in front of Kevin, because Steve Kevin can bring them huge benefits.

In Fox, his iron-blooded methods made some high-level executives tremble on weekdays.

These subordinates are also very familiar with his temper, and dare not shirk and agree.

"Yes, within a day, we are guaranteed to find out the results."

The executive in charge of this aspect immediately issued a military order.

Only then did Davis restrain his anger and nodded.

At other times, Fox doesn't really matter to Steve Kevin.

Davis wouldn't do it for Steve Kevin either.

But The Matrix has just been released for a day, and it is about to make a lot of money. At this point in time, someone is targeting Steve Kevin and targeting The Matrix.

This is undoubtedly taking money out of Fox's pocket, and no one can tolerate it.

Not to mention, these are well-deserved giants in Hollywood.

Of course, Davis has another idea.

That's to say goodbye to Steve Kevin.

I don't want to catch his next movie right away, but if Steve Kevin's future movies still need investment, Davis only hopes that Fox is the first person he thinks of.

Thinking that The Matrix is ​​about to make money in his pocket, Davis can't wait to send these troublemakers to prison to pick up soap.

As for whether Steve Kevin actually plagiarized, does it matter?

....

Failing to find the exact target of the enemy, Steve Kevin arranged for the propaganda department to respond in the newspapers.
