screening is over

And based on the quality of the film they have experienced, as long as the film gets a good schedule and the number of big screens, 100% will not lose money.

Jeff Robinoff came to Kevin's side with a smile.

"Congratulations, you have successfully produced an excellent work."

Shay also leaned over and said:

"Director Kevin, the total box office of Chainsaw has already come out. I just took this opportunity to settle it for you today?"

The quality of Kevin's new films has been recognized in their internal review. In this case, Kevin, who can continuously produce high-quality films, will naturally have a different status in their eyes.

Normally, if the box office share of a movie can be settled within a year after the movie is released, it means that the film company has no intention of cheating them.

In the face of Kevin, only three months after the release, New Line Films took the initiative to give him the box office share.

I have to say that this represents the importance that New Line Films places on him.

At the same time, it also represents the importance that New Line Films attaches to its cooperation with him.

Facing the kindness of the new line, Kevin naturally would not refuse.

The release of the film in North America for three months also means that the global box office has come out. The total global box office score of 166 million US dollars is the total score achieved by Chainsaw.

A 5% share of the box office means a share of about $8 million, which is also a large amount. Of course, this amount is far from enough for New Line Films to turn against him.

With Kevin's ability, continuing to cooperate will only help them earn an unknown number of eight million.

Therefore, not only did they not do any tricks, but the speed of the account was also fast enough.

Otherwise, this amount will be held for a year or two, and there will also be a lot of interest.

After the New Line Film Company got the share of the money, Kevin also had no free time in the next days. Under the insistence of Kevin, he chose to release it on May 1st.

After investigation, there are no blockbusters released at this time point.

Or there is, but it's almost over, and the theaters are gradually reducing the number of their films.

There are probably less than 2,000 movie theaters in North America, and more than 20,000 big screens.

At the beginning of its release, Chainsaw was directly qualified for 800 movie theaters. In fact, the scale is already very large.

The follow-up film arrangement is that the cinema has adjusted itself according to the Chainsaw Horror.

The fact that it was able to obtain such a large release scale was naturally due to the major investment and sequel films that had already been released at that time.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey of Chainsaw is the king himself.

Of course, this is inseparable from the channels of New Line Cinema in North America.

Screening in so many cinemas at the same time is not something that just any film company can do. Having this kind of channel means that the scale of the company is at least medium and large in Hollywood.

As for the Big Five in Hollywood, the biggest difference from other film companies is the overseas distribution. Of course, their own theater chain is also their advantage.

The five have complete distribution capabilities overseas. If a movie is a big hit in North America, it must cooperate with them if they want to make profits overseas.

Otherwise, at most, you can only earn this amount of money in North America.

This is the reason why the Big Five can be called the Big Five.

...

"The screening of Escape from the Dead Town will be held in three days?"

Harvey Weinstein's face darkened when he received the news, and he still remembered what happened at the Beverly Hills party.

Steve Kevin was the first person to make him feel so unhappy since founding Miramax.

Rubbing his chin, he stood on the high-rise building of the company and looked out from the glass.

Harvey Weinstein thinks about stumbling Steve Kevin.

At least he can't be so proud, there is no one who dares to reject him like Harvey Weinstein without paying any price.

However, to be specific, we still have to wait for the screening to find out specific problems based on his movies.

In this regard, Harvey Weinstein is very reassured, and he still knows a lot of film critics.

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

Three days later, Warner Bros. headquarters.

Some middle-aged white people dressed very formally and looked like elites walked into the building one after another.

These people are well-known film critics with a certain reputation in the entire United States, and each of them has a certain influence on the selection of movies by fans.

A total of forty or fifty film critics will spend a total of millions of public relations expenses.

From this investment, it is enough to know the confidence of Warner Bros. in escaping from the fatal town. Of course, this announcement cost is also shared by Kevin and New Line Films.

In addition to film critics, reporters from some media are also invited.

The normal movie screening process is usually a trial screening, that is, an internal screening meeting.

Used to make a preliminary quality assessment of the film.

When the quality of the film is sufficient, the second time is the screening. At this time, all professionals who are helpful to the promotion of the film are invited.

After the screening is over, it will initially create a good reputation for the film.

Then came the premiere and the official screening.

The screening did not require Kevin's participation, just after the film critics participated in the screening of the film, after taking a share of the box office of $80.2 million from New Line Cinema.

Kevin arrives at the headquarters of a comics publisher.

...

Perelman, the boss of Marvel, agreed curiously when he heard that a well-known director came to see him.

Inside the boss' office at Marvel Comics.

With a Mediterranean hairstyle, wearing a standard suit and smoking a cigar, Kevin's first impression was that the man in front of him was a very successful billionaire.

In fact it is.

Ronald Perelman, who has a net worth of more than one billion US dollars, will be ranked 83rd in the "Hurun Global Top 100 Entrepreneurs" with a fortune of 100 billion yuan on April 6, 2020.

There is no doubt that a rich man of his level is not always in a certain industry.

Marvel Comics was acquired by him only two years ago. After two years of operation, he finally listed the successful operation of Marvel Comics.

And he spent nearly 90 million US dollars to acquire more than 70% of the shares, which undoubtedly brought him several times the benefits.

He is very optimistic about Marvel, and at this time is ambitiously seeking better development for Marvel.

The sudden arrival of a well-known director gave him a little more inspiration.

...

"Hi, my name is Steve Kevin."

Ronald Perelman nodded, with a slightly arrogant smile, the confidence and confidence that wealth brought him.

"You're looking for me, what's the matter?"

"I want to buy a portion of Marvel Comics."

Ronald Perelman was a little stunned, a little dumbfounded.

"For things like shares, you can go directly to the stock exchange to buy them. Why are you here looking for me?"

Kevin smiled lightly:

"Sorry, I took the liberty."

After all, Kevin left.

Ronald Perelman's face was dumbfounded, and he had no idea what Kevin's sudden action was for.

But the director and Marvel...

Ronald Perelman had the idea for a Marvel movie.

....

After walking out of Marvel Comics, Kevin recalled the eyeliner he had just placed in Marvel Comics.

He found an ordinary employee and paid an extra $2,000 a month to let her deliver Marvel news to him on time.

Marvel went bankrupt in 1996, but Marvel's performance began to decline, which actually started with the development of the Internet and TV media in 1993.

Kevin, who had the appetite to swallow Marvel in one mouthful, just laid out a game ahead of time.

However, with the understanding just now, Kevin also began to worry.

After Ronald Perelman's operation went public, Marvel Entertainment's value at this time was around $500 million, and it was considered a behemoth.

Even if it goes bankrupt, he can't even get his hands on it without a $200 million or $300 million.

Of course, part of the copyrighted IP is fine, but that's not what Kevin wants.

What he wants is the Marvel universe worth tens of billions in the future, not a single IP.

This is the biggest piece of cake Kevin's knowledge knows.

There is a saying that Kevin has always kept firmly in his heart, don't make money beyond your own knowledge, and Kevin can't do anything else in finance.

As for what bitcoin is, it's just a game for the rich to beat drums and pass flowers.

If the bookmaker who created Bitcoin can't get the maximum benefit, Bitcoin can be destroyed in minutes, making it worthless.

Kevin didn't want to touch these things.

And stocks, which are also a rich man's game.

People who do not have enough network resources will only be reduced to leeks harvested by dealers in the game of stocks.

Kevin, who had lost money in stocks in his previous life, was also not interested in stocks.

Unless he is the bookmaker himself.

So in the field of movies, the biggest cake Kevin knows is Marvel.

No one knows the power of Marvel IP better than him.

He who has mastered the successful route of Marvel, as long as he obtains Marvel, everything can be perfectly reproduced.

....

in the Warner Bros.

The screening of Escape from the City has ended. Judging from the expressions of the film critics, as a commercial film, Escape from the City is already above the passing line.

At least these middle-aged white people did not have too much discomfort because of the black male protagonist.

Instead, he was attracted into the plot, followed by the protagonist to discover the horror hidden in the town, and finally escaped from the town.

..

The next day, countless compliments of the film were published uniformly in countless newspapers.

"Escape from the Dead Town, a rare low-budget masterpiece, director Steve Kevin continued his unique and thought-provoking special style. If the Chainsaw Horror is to make people cherish life, then escape from the dead." Mingzhen completely reflects the arrogance in the hearts of white Americans, the discrimination hidden in their hearts."

"God's thoughts are hidden in my mind. This is Steve Kevin. In my opinion, Escape from the Dead Town is definitely not just a commercial film. It contains director Kevin's thoughts on this land. Reflections on the Injustice of the Fate of Blacks."

"Cool, this is a must-see movie for black people, white people don't have to watch it, but if black people don't watch it, then I can say that if you deviate from your race and speak up for black people, black people will absolutely support you, come on , Director Kevin."

"A thriller with dark humor mixed with horror and thriller plots. The plot hints at the unintentional discrimination of white people against black people. It is a prejudice that black people should be physically strong. Woolen cloth."

"..."

In Kevin's villa, Angelina Jolie was lying beside Kevin, reading movie reviews in the newspaper for Kevin.

Touching Julie's body and feeling the tender touch, Kevin's sage state is slowly receding.

This youthful body, with its boundless energy, coupled with the more powerful needs of white women in this regard, allows both Kevin and Julie to be satisfied.

Salma Hayek is busy with the various crews.

With the appearance of Salma Hayek, it is still very simple to get some middle and lower female secondaries. As for the female first, she still needs a great work.

This, Kevin also planned for her.

But now is not the time.
