chapter 115

"Kevin, you are here, congratulations, the box office of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 hit a new high on the first day."

"I think, in this year's annual box office rankings, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 may have already booked the top three."

A businessman will never turn his back on someone on the bright side.

Even if secretly, Steve Kevin's Batman Dark Knight's share of income is deducted, but on the surface, Robinoff looks polite.

Looking at Robinov's expression, a smug smile appeared on Kevin's face.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, thanks to my choice of a good schedule, otherwise I would doubt whether Pirates of the Caribbean would have such a box office."

Robinoff's smile froze.

It really is a pot that cannot be opened without mentioning.

Steve Kevin is killing people.

But who asked him to deduct Kevin's share first.

Now that I can't beat it, I admit it, and it's natural to feel a little angry.

He came today, and all he wanted was a word from Steve Kevin, no longer directed at Warner Bros.

For that, take some anger.

Listening to Kevin's words, Leiter, who was on the side, came out to smooth things out.

No way, who let Time Warner still have a lot of shares in MGM.

Although it is said that Time Warner cannot involve the normal operation and personnel rights of MGM because of the previous contract.

But the size of Time Warner, the mere existence, is a kind of pressure.

It's impossible for MGM to turn a blind eye to it.

Time Warner has already communicated with Wright and asked him to try his best to facilitate a reconciliation between Steve Kevin and Warner.

This matter, he is not very good to refuse.

"Kevin, Robinoff is here to discuss the investment in Shushan, why don't we sit down and have a good talk with everyone?"

Robinov quickly answered:

"Come on, let's go to the Mona Lisa restaurant for dinner, I'll treat you, the French food there is quite good."

After all, Robinoff looked at Kevin eagerly, waiting for Kevin to respond.

Looking at Robinov's eyes, Kevin smiled, walked to Robinov's side, and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I have to give you a good kick today."

Robinov was relieved and led the way, taking them to the Mona Lisa restaurant he said.

Now that we can sit down and talk, everything will be fine.

Following behind, Kevin also made an abacus in his heart.

To be honest, the biggest benefit he can get is actually to let Warner Bros. distribute the share of delaying him.

As for the copyright of DC Comics, to be honest, he wants it.

But think about it and know it's impossible.

A Batman Dark Knight with billion-dollar potential in Kevin's hands.

So how amazing should other copyrights be?

In fact, it was also Kevin, who made Warners truly realize how huge the potential of DC Comics is.

However, they still lack a director to realize this potential.

However, the success of Kevin's Batman Dark Knight made them think that as long as the unique dark style of Batman Dark Knight continues.

continue to be successful.

Finding Joe Schumacher to continue filming the third Batman is their first plan.

Although at this time Kevin did not know Warner's actions.

However, he is very clear about the bloodthirsty nature of capital.

Unless the Batman Dark Knight series is no longer profitable, it is absolutely impossible for Warner to let it go.

The Dark Knight, then, is bound to lead Warner astray.

Although there is no hope for the copyright, Kevin also thought of one thing, that is, the MGM shares in Time Warner's hands, but I don't know if Time Warner is willing to communicate.

In fact, in the absence of Steve Kevin's full backing of MGM.

MGM's profitability is not so ideal.

Therefore, although Time Warner holds a lot of shares in its hands.

But overall, it's useless.

The current MGM and Warner Bros. are simply not on the same level.

If Kevin proposes to buy the MGM shares in Time Warner's hands, I don't know if Time Warner is willing or not.

Kevin used his own abacus and went to the restaurant with the two of them.

The three of them walked in the mall, and when they saw their clothes, they knew they were not ordinary people, and others looked sideways.

Soon, they came to the restaurant on the top floor.

The future business district of the mainland will be learned from the United States.

The top floor of this type of commercial building is usually a movie theater and some high-end restaurants. Sitting in the Mona Lisa restaurant, looking up, you can see the movie theater more than 100 meters away.

It was the weekend at this time, and there were a lot of people in the business district.

Sitting at the dining table not far from the three of them, a few young and beautiful girls who looked like the second generation of wealth were having a heated discussion about what movie to watch next.

"Britney, don't you like director Steve Kevin the most? I guess what you want to see is Pirates of the Caribbean."

The two girls laughed.

Chapter 174 Expanding the business, with Kevin's little fan girl

"No, I just prefer pirate-themed movies."

Britney laughed and retorted with dissatisfaction.

But in the blink of an eye, Britney saw someone she really wanted to see with her own eyes.

"What's the matter with you, Britney?"

A black-haired mixed-race Mexican-American girl followed Britney's gaze.

"what!"

Screaming, the girl immediately covered her mouth.

"It's Director Steve Kevin!"

Britney was equally surprised.

After thinking about it in her heart, Britney suddenly stood up and walked towards Steve Kevin.

..

Not long after the three sat down, and just after ordering, Robinov began to report his conditions.

"Kevin, Shushan's next $20 million investment and the next publicity are all to us. What do you think?"

"Also, yesterday, the theater party has settled with us the follow-up box office revenue of the Dark Knight. When will you sign it, so I can transfer the money to you."

Kevin shook his head with a smile on his face, as if it was nothing.

Then he opened his mouth and directly brought up another topic:

"Speaking of which, Time Warner has already acquired MGM's film library. Is the shares still useful?"

"I'm quite interested in those shares."

Robinoff's smile froze.

It turns out that Steve Kevin is here waiting for him.

To be honest, although MGM has the glory of the past, there is a big difference between MGM and Warner Bros.

For Warner, MGM's greatest value is actually the film library.

However, the license for the film library has already arrived.

Judging from the profitability of MGM, it is completely dispensable for Time Warner.

If it is sold, it can be exchanged for reconciliation with Steve Kevin, in fact, it is not impossible.

Gritting his teeth, Robinov said:

"I can't agree immediately. This matter requires me to go back and apply for the parent company Time Warner. Of course, I think there is a high probability that I will agree to this condition."

"it is good!"

Robinov agreed happily, and everything was easy to say.

"Since you agreed to my conditions, then next, I will adjust the premiere time of The Matrix."

Robinov finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the smiling expression on Kevin's face, Robinoff tried to ask:

"Kevin, I don't know if you are interested in making the third Batman Dark Knight movie."

From Ben's heart, of course, he still hopes that Kevin will continue to direct Batman The Dark Knight.

If you change the director, no matter how similar the style is, there must be a difference.

Kevin shook his head.

"I don't make a sequel. You should know this habit."

"Batman, The Dark Knight, is a feature film I made, split into two films."

Robinov nodded regretfully.

As for letting Steve Kevin continue to invest, there is no mention of it.

Even if he agrees, Warner executives are unlikely to agree.

The third installment of Batman's Dark Knight is destined to make money, but it's just more money and less money.

They could give 30 million, 40 million dollars for Steve Kevin.

But investing, sorry, is impossible.

Kevin knew exactly what they were thinking, so he didn't mention it directly.

If he really invests, Kevin is not unable to be a producer.

At least keep the style of the crew unchanged, or he can control it.

After solving the problem, Robinov lost his mind to eat.

"Kevin, then let's eat slowly with LTECH. I'll go to the parent company to implement this matter as soon as possible, as well as the investment of Shushan, I will also implement it immediately."

After saying this, Robinov hurriedly left here after getting Kevin's consent.

Leiter shook his head, looked at Kevin and said:

"It seems that the time for you to acquire MGM is coming soon. I just don't know, when are you going to acquire MGM?"

"No money, just wait."

Kevin waved his hand.

If the money for the acquisition of Marvel is still there, it's almost the same.

But now Kevin, in fact, is not in a hurry to acquire MGM.

No one can save MGM except him.

Sooner or later, MGM will fall into his pocket, and the priority now is to build its own channel.

After the acquisition of MGM, you can fully merge the morning light into the shell of MGM.
