Of course, Kevin also thought of a better way to bundle these actors.
As long as they don't violate the contract Kevin made, they will always receive 8% of the net profit around the character they play.
And it's lifelong.
This also means that even if these actors have no other famous roles, as long as they play the role of Marvel, they will almost get a lifetime meal ticket.
All Kevin has to do is to bind actors and characters for life.
Decades later, when the new Spider-Man and the new Captain America appear, these old actors can still make cameo appearances in the movies.
At the same time, their images are also bound to heroes.
However, these many ideas require Kevin to realize a little bit.
....
On the other hand, Batman The Dark Knight has already caused heated discussions in the movie market.
The schedule set by Warner Bros. is that The Dark Knight Part 1 will be released in mid-May and The Dark Knight Part 2 will be released in early July.
In one and a half months, as long as there are enough big screens, it is enough to eat the best box office.
Even if the rest of the time is delayed, in fact, with the reduction of the cinema line share, most of the money is earned by the cinema.
The film companies are not making any money.
After all, the measure taken by Hollywood has always been to adjust the box office share once a week.
If the movie sells well, in order to win more copies, the cinema will reduce the box office share accordingly.
On the contrary, if the movie does not sell well, in order to prevent the cinema from reducing the number of screenings, the film company must compromise and reduce its box office share.
Of course, these things are just to illustrate although the schedule is set.
The last Batman Dark Knight film also achieved 2,000 theater openings as Warner expected, but what kind of openings can the next Batman Dark Knight get.
It depends on how the previous one performed.
In the market at this time, hundreds of well-known film critics in most of the well-known media commented on the masterpiece made by the next Batman Dark Knight.
attracted the attention of many ordinary people.
In this age when the Internet is not yet developed, the print media still has an unparalleled dominance of public opinion.
An employee of Warner Bros. in charge of word-of-mouth surveys of street movies is interviewing residents on the street at this time.
"Hello, this beauty, do you have time to participate in one of our questions and answers about the movie survey? After the answer, you can choose any doll from the doll booth here and take it away for free."
The Warner employee pointed to the doll he bought with the company's event funds.
The beauty in her twenties readily agreed.
The allure of this free gift is always so plentiful.
Upon seeing this, the staff also asked directly.
"Hello, what do you think of the upcoming Batman Dark Knight?"
The beauty shook her head, her face full of confusion.
"I never watch these comic movies, I don't think they look good. I prefer Leonardo's different sky movies."
"Okay, this beauty, the answer is over, you can pick a doll and leave."
Chapter 116 Vic's Praise
With the beauty's departure, Warner's staff made a note in the book, and then picked another one who looked in her twenties.
Dressed like a very avant-garde young man, he asked:
"Hello, may I ask, do you like watching superhero movies? Do you have any thoughts on the upcoming Batman Dark Knight?"
The young man suddenly became excited, and said incessantly:
"Of course, I'm the ultimate fan of DC Comics, and of all superheroes, my favorite is Batman."
"With the body of a man, fighting against the gods, this is the best portrayal of him..."
After some inquiries, Warner's staff made a record again and kept repeating this behavior.
The biggest purpose of this survey is to investigate the issue of Batman: The Dark Knight's audience.
From age group, to gender, to occupation specific analysis.
This can help Warner, in the next time, to carry out better marketing activities.
The ending is obvious, after surveying thousands of people.
More than 60% of them are based on the name of Batman, and the fans who choose to enter the cinema tell the audience.
20% is based on the unanimous praise of film critics, and I was curious and chose to watch it.
The remaining 20%, Warner never imagined, would be fans of Steve Kevin.
Yes, with the success of Steve Kevin's consecutive films, he has become a famous director who has successively produced excellent works in the hearts of the people.
Hearing his new movie, some viewers who had the idea of watching the movie first chose him among the many summer vacation movies.
That's where the scene that Warner is investigating.
....
In the villa, Kevin listened to Helen reading the comments of famous film critics to him, while enjoying the massage service of his sister Emma.
Helen's girly voice was exceptionally crisp, and listening to her read film reviews made her seem much more comfortable than Kevin himself.
Helen's face was serious, as if she regarded this matter as her most serious work, and she kept her words unhurried and without any mistakes.
"Potter, the film critic, said so in the newspapers."
"It's a special superhero movie where superhuman abilities are never the point, it's the mind."
"Batman has lost his divinity in this movie. He is no longer a god-like superhero, but a teenager with a very miserable childhood. This teenager was full of fear in his heart, and finally overcame his fear and overcame it. Heart demon."
"He didn't blame others for his unfortunate encounter, but saw something that ordinary people couldn't see, and that is Gotham City is the origin of evil."
"So, he rose up and guarded Gotham City with a knight-like spirit... There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece in the history of superheroes, and I can never imagine that in the future, among the works of superheroes , to be able to produce such a profound work."
"Steve Kevin, this is a magical director. In his hands, even the superhero who has been criticized for being inept all the time, also shines in a different light."
"..."
Kevin smiled involuntarily.
People always like to hear good things. Although he knows that these people are likely to receive money, to be honest, he is very happy to hear them.
Looking at the expression on Kevin's face, Helen read it again and again.
"And then there's Vic the film critic, a review published in The Times."
"In human form, fight against gods. This is the best portrayal of Batman Bruce in the new masterpiece Batman Dark Knight directed by Steve Kevin."
"To be honest, I believe that everyone has seen my previous movie reviews and knows that I have a critical attitude towards all movies, but only the movie Batman: The Dark Knight."
"Let me stay up all night and have trouble sleeping and eating."
"I recalled from the beginning of the film to the end, and I was surprised to find that there was no place worthy of my criticism."
"It's so perfect, perfect like art."
"Forgive me for raving about it, I love it so much."
"And, because of this movie, I'm going to be the biggest fan of director Steve Kevin from now on."
"For all his films, I'm going to re-analyze them and give my best compliments."
"..."
After reading this film review, Kevin blushes a little when he hears it.
From this passage, all he heard was blatant flattery, unlimited advocacy.
He was immediately impressed by the name Vic.
...
On the other side, at night.
Vic is at home receiving good news from the editor of The Times.
"Vic, your latest film review has been very well received and has been praised by many readers."
"The people who praised the most are the fans of the film directed by Steve Kevin."
"..."
"By the way, the effect of this film review has caused the editor-in-chief to increase the price of this film review for you. This time it is five hundred dollars."
"..."
After a few more exchanges with the editor, Vic hung up and stood in front of the sofa and shouted.
"YES!"
Vic's wife was cooking in the kitchen. Hearing this, he gave Vic a blank look and complained:
"Whatever you shout, you will wake up the children."
As people from less wealthy families, their choice is to marry later and have children until they are in their thirties.
At this time, a pair of children in their teens were sleeping early upstairs.
The two of them are living a private life between husband and wife. Sometimes, they also want to avoid their children and simply get along.
Vic said excitedly:
"Wife, do you know why I'm so happy?"
Vic's wife immediately rolled her eyes and swung the kitchen utensils in her hand, about to be ruthless.
Vic was suddenly cowardly, and said hurriedly:
"Don't worry, look!"
Vic took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his arms and put them in his wife's hands.
"This is?"
Vic's wife, with surprise on her face.
Their family, with savings of no more than two thousand dollars, has to be careful about eating and drinking on weekdays.
Vic where did all this money come from.
Vic immediately said proudly:
"This is after I became a well-known film critic, Warners invited me to participate in the screening of the film and gave me money."
"It's a full $10,000."
"Also, the editor called me just now and said that he wanted to pay me five hundred dollars for this review."
Vic's face was full of consternation.
As a loser all along, I never thought that after more than 40 years, I would be able to create another glory and stand up.
At this time, Vic once again confirmed in his heart that the path he chose was correct.
That is to kneel and lick all of Steve Kevin's movies, thereby attracting the attention of Kevin's fans.
Vic's wife suddenly put down the kitchen utensils in her hand and cried bitterly while hugging Vic.
A right choice to help this family get a new lease of life ·
Time flies, and soon it is mid-May, and a premiere is about to be held.
Chapter 117 Yan Yu in the premiere
"Kevin, don't forget the premiere of Batman The Dark Knight at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
In order to show the importance of Warner to Kevin, Robinoff, the president, personally called to inform him.
