After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 53:

Most white people don’t actually like the movie.

But dare they say anywhere that they hate the movie Black Panther?

They dare not!

Once they say this, the black audience of the Black Panther and the white left will immediately label them with a hat of discrimination against blacks, and the consequences will be very serious.

Being besieged by black people, being opened by a company, are all possible things.

This is political correctness.

Choosing the wrong movie can have serious consequences.

…

In the gym in the villa, after warming up, Kevin took a shower, greeted the driver, and left for the company.

As soon as he entered the company, Kevin found that the company was very lively with people coming and going.

Obviously, after such a long operation, Kevin’s Morning Entertainment is finally no longer a grass-roots team.

“Kevin BOSS!”

Kevin walked all the way, and people kept greeting him, and Kevin responded one by one.

Although they don’t know each other, it is obvious that they are all employees of their own company, and Kevin is also quite kind.

“He’s Steve Kevin? He’s so handsome, it’s really a pity to be a director if he’s not a star.”

“Our company’s boss, but MGM’s major shareholder, is also an Oscar-winning director. This company must have a future.”

“…”

Of course, Kevin didn’t even hear the occasional whispers.

Jin went straight to Dawson’s office.

As soon as he entered the office, Kevin saw Dawson sipping hot coffee while looking at the documents.

Speaking of which, Kevin couldn’t help but complain.

Since he was reborn in the United States, it was difficult for him to drink pure hot water outside. It was only at this time that he knew that only Chinese people like to drink hot water.

Other countries do not have this habit.

They tend to drink cold water directly, and hot drinks are often coffee, milk and the like.

..

Dawson, who was drinking coffee, couldn’t help but smile when he read the news about Pirates of the Caribbean in the newspaper.

Pirates of the Caribbean, the biggest cake, of course, was eaten by Dawn Entertainment.

As the president, he is really effortless, and he doesn’t have to worry about performance issues at all. There are thousands of troops that can be topped by Kevin alone.

The door rang, Dawson raised his head, and was about to scold the person who entered the door for being rude and not knocking on the door.

I saw Kevin pushed the door and came in, and quickly stood up with a happy smile:

“Kevin, why are you here today?”

Looking at Dawson’s appearance, Kevin didn’t say anything.

The main controller of Chenxi Entertainment is him. Dawson is paid a fixed salary anyway, and it is enough to make Chenxi Movies without any major problems.

“Dawson, calculate for me how much the company’s current revenue is on the books.”

“Next year, I have an acquisition business that will use a lot of money.”

Dawson walked out the door and ordered a few words before he walked in and asked:

“What business and how much does it cost?”

“I won’t say what the specific business is. In terms of the amount, at least 500 million in cash may not be enough.”

Kevin still did not tell Dawson all the information directly, but only revealed the specific amount he needed.

Marvel is too important, and Kevin doesn’t want to create any twists and turns out of thin air.

Until the plan is successful, he will only bury this matter in his heart.

Dawson nodded, and he wouldn’t go to the bottom of things that Kevin didn’t want to talk about in detail. This was the biggest reason why they got along so well.

Of course, Kevin handed all Marvel spies to him.

He also had some guesses.

But to be honest, Dawson couldn’t think of the use of acquiring such a loss-making Marvel.

Therefore, he is not sure about his guess.

Before the opening of the IP first year, no one knew how much value Marvel contained.

If DC hadn’t been a Warner subsidiary twenty years ago, Kevin wouldn’t even let DC go.

However, it’s okay to barely miss a Marvel now.

As for Marvel, why it is not favored by those big other film companies, then it can only be expressed by the status of DC and Marvel in the United States.

Let’s put it this way.

Before the rise of the Marvel Universe, Marvel had always been an existence that was rubbed on the ground by DC.

The two are not on the same level at all.

DC doesn’t even have the heart to look at Marvel, they are almost a dominant existence in the American comics industry.

It is in such a situation that Kevin has such a chance to find out.

This is a point that Kevin wants to understand after the memories of the two worlds are merged.

In the memory of the previous life, Marvel seems to be on an equal footing with DC, but in fact, this is the rise of Marvel caused by the big sales of Marvel movies.

Before that, Marvel had never been taken seriously.

Those big studios are only interested in a small subset of Marvel’s super-popular characters.

Such as Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and a few other IPs.

After chatting a few more times, the finance woman in glasses that Kevin saw last time came in with a stack of documents in her hand.

Dawson ordered:

“Jessica, tell Kevin Boss about the company’s current financial situation.”

Jessica, the woman with glasses, nodded and read the information.

“The company’s current salary expenditure…”

“Investment projects, Pirates of the Caribbean spending…”

“…”

A series of boring data spit out in Jessica’s mouth, this time Kevin listened carefully.

As the boss, in most aspects of the company, he has his own performance support.

All he needs to grasp is finances.

The company’s large expenditures must have his own signature and seal to take effect, and other things are handed over to Dawson to be responsible.

To put it bluntly, other aspects of the company have not yet generated profits, and they are still in a situation where Kevin’s losses are supporting them.

Of course, at present, in fact, Kevin has no funds to support the company to carry out other businesses for the time being.

It all has to wait until the Marvel dust settles.

Before that, the funds in hand should be used tightly.

Chapter 87 Disney Comes to the Door

After the expense and income report is clear.

Jessica just reported the remaining cash in the company:

“At present, the company’s remaining funds are 108 million US dollars. At the same time, Mission Impossible has millions of dollars in copyright sharing and peripheral income every quarter.”

“One hundred million dollars…”

Kevin held his chin and thought.

Compared with the funds that Marvel needs, there is still a big gap.

Pirates of the Caribbean, it is expected that the income that can directly bring Dawn Movies in the end is more than 100 million US dollars, and there are some copyright income.

It is necessary to rely on time to accumulate slowly, and it is also impossible to quench thirst from afar.

It seems that it is still necessary to start with a new film project.

……

San Pedro city, San Pedro port, Pirates of the Caribbean town.

Johnny Depp, who plays Captain Jack Sparrow, is promoting the Pirates of the Caribbean movie and the attractions of this Pirates of the Caribbean town.

Countless reporters followed, filming the details of Depp’s interactions with each fan.

The Pirates of the Caribbean town also welcomed thousands of tourists at this time, which was never achieved by any attraction in San Pedro.

The arrival of Captain Jack Sparrow ignited a carnival atmosphere.

Let the whole town haunt a frenzy atmosphere.

Ronande, director of the Tourism Bureau, saw this scene in the town, and his face blossomed with a smile.

This traffic flow has been so exaggerated since Pirates of the Caribbean was released a week ago, and it is still increasing continuously.

He, the director of the Tourism Bureau, decided on an investment plan that seemed to make a lot of money.

There is no doubt that this has greatly added a brilliance to his resume.

If it weren’t for his lack of interest in politics, he might have tried to run for the mayor of San Pedro.

On the other side, in the Caribbean town, a few people dressed very formally, and they seemed to be here for work, not for vacation. They kept writing something on the paper.

It seems to be counting some data.

After the statistician stopped, the leading middle-aged white male wearing gold-rimmed glasses asked:

“How is it, the traffic in Pirates of the Caribbean Town?”

The man of statistics replied:

“The number of passengers in a single day reaches tens of thousands of people, and most of them are in the form of parent-child and family units.”

“The degree of agreement with our Disney project is extremely high, and it is recommended to win.”

These people are the people who are in charge of the project inspection at Disney.

They are all over the United States, looking for a variety of projects to help Disneyland progress, not static.

It is thanks to the existence of these people that Disneyland has dominated the park industry in the United States for many years and is the only giant in the industry.

Disneyland is a very important source of cash for The Walt Disney Company.

An extraordinary position among Walt Disney.

The man with golden-rimmed glasses was shocked when he heard the data just mentioned.

This kind of traffic is actually very scary.

Judging from this kind of traffic, the annual income of the Caribbean town is likely to reach tens of millions of dollars, and this is also limited by the operational capacity of the San Pedro City Tourism Office.

This project, if handed over to Disneyland to operate.

It is not impossible to double the income by two or three times.

If Disney does not take the lead in such a hugely profitable project, several other larger amusement parks in the United States will certainly not give up.

This increase and decrease will invisibly reduce Disney’s revenue.

The paradise project is essentially a competition with you and without me.

The total number and time of tourists is limited, and it is handed over to others, which means the reduction of Disney tourists.

After hearing the data, Jewett, the white man with gold-rimmed glasses, knew immediately that Disney had to take the project.
