After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood - Chapter 278
Chapter 278:
Spider-Man 2 has achieved a good result of 700 million US dollars at the global box office. According to this rule, when it is released, Spider-Man 2 can achieve a global box office of more than 800 million US dollars.
The Russo brothers became the darlings of major Hollywood studios in one fell swoop.
All kinds of poaching invitations have come.
However, Kevin’s methods are not in vain.
With no shortage of money, no shortage of filming, plus friendship, and the influence of the Kevin Party established by Kevin.
After various considerations, the Russo brothers were not attracted by the conditions offered by others.
To put it simply and bluntly, it is the price of betraying Kevin that no one else can afford.
Never test human nature, human nature cannot help temptation.
This is why Kevin built this series of poaching defenses.
The current success of Chenxi Films is actually quite illusory.
At the heart of it are these famous directors whom Kevin has heard of in the future.
Relying on them, coupled with IP, Chenxi Films has continuously produced various commercial blockbusters with high box office.
Once these directors are all poached, the Chenxi movie will never be so beautiful, let alone falling apart.
After the results of this series, Kevin also made a decision.
He wants to convert part of the shares into something similar to employee shares and send them to the directors of Chenxi Films.
Of course, it is definitely not something that any director can get.
Among the current morning movies, Mitt, Zack Snyder, the Russo brothers and Tsui Hark are mature directors who have the ability to make successful commercial films without Kevin.
Therefore, these four must have employee shares.
Secondly, there are other TV drama directors who are still making small production movies, or have not made movies yet. They still need to wait until they are in their early years before they are eligible.
Of course, the most special ones are Tsui Hark, Zhang Yimou and Wang Jing.
Among them, Zhang Yimou director Kevin will definitely not give him dividends, he is just to prove himself in Hollywood.
After the proof, he will go back to his country of course.
Kevin helped him, but also for the future mainland market.
Only Kevin knows how terrifying the mainland market is, especially after that disaster in 2020, how difficult the movie market is.
Only the mainland recovered early.
Having a good relationship in advance will be of great benefit to the future development of Chenxi Films.
The other two, Tsui Hark have already taken root in the United States. It is estimated that unless he retires, he will not return to Hong Kong. This dividend is not a loss.
Wang Jing, this little fat man, is hard to say.
There is not much to do to mess with flowers, but most of them are careless. Kevin is not a good man, and there is nothing to blame for this.
Chapter 406 Dividend Right
His family members are all in Hong Kong, and they haven’t come over yet. Kevin feels that he will have to go back to Hong Kong sooner or later.
It remains to be discussed whether to give him employee shares.
But don’t worry, after all, Wang Jing has not yet been able to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and it is still too early to talk about employee shares.
That’s it, on September 3rd.
Kevin invited Zack Snyder, Mitt, Tsui Hark, and the Russo brothers, a total of five directors, to return to the company.
Among them, Tsui Hark and Schneider are busy with projects, while others are resting.
Both to talk things out and to schedule new projects ahead of time.
By allocating shares, making them happy, arranging projects directly, and squeezing their rest time, this is what Kevin, a vicious capitalist, should do, no thanks.

“Your brothers have been in the limelight recently. I really envy me.”
Mitt was a burly man, speaking sour words on the side.
Both joking and joking.
This year’s three films have successfully made the morning movie in Hollywood infinitely popular.
Among them, the Mitt and Russell brothers are even more famous.
To say the Russell Brothers miter acid, that must be false.
Anthony Russell stretched, watching Mitt speak sour words aside, deliberately said:
“Well, it’s not bad, Mitt, continue to work hard. If you don’t work hard, you will be surpassed by the two of us.”
“No, let me joke, are you serious?”
Mitt was suddenly unhappy.
He joked about how this Anthony Russell took it seriously.
Seeing Mitt’s expression, the others laughed.
I have to say that Mitt can’t hide things, and what he thinks in his heart almost shows on his face.
This kind of person is quite good to be friends.
It’s not interesting to use it with friends.
Just like what Kevin used, it was always a scheming, not a scheming trick.
With good treatment and sincerity, these directors are firmly tied to the car of the morning movie.
Now, with the success of these directors one by one, a deeper bond is required.
Then technology shares, it has become the best choice.
Money, Kevin is enough, as long as the control of Chenxi Movies is in his own hands, he can give them a part of the money he earns, which is acceptable to Kevin.
They have more money, and it’s not worth the price other people want to pay for digging them.
After Kevin and several giants chose to cooperate, it was destined that no one would be willing to pay such a high price to poach the director of the morning movie.
This move is the brilliant move that has laid the most solid foundation of the Morning Movie in Hollywood.
Seeing everyone else laughing, Mitt, the big man who didn’t know why, also smirked.
I have to say that some faces are really only revealed when they are with friends.
For example, Mitt, in the eyes of the outside world, is a genius director, full of talent, powerful and strong.
In the family, he is also a reliable man, never showing his funny side.
But when he was in this small circle established by Kevin, he released his long-suppressed funny personality and turned into a broken mouth and funny.
People are multi-faceted, with different faces in different environments.
After a happy time, Schneider asked about the business.
“Kevin, you came to us, what’s the matter?”
Kevin is not a person who has nothing to do, so if you look for a few of them, there must be something to do.
The others also shut their mouths and looked at Kevin, waiting for him to give everyone a result.
“Come on, one for each, everyone has it.”
Kevin just took out four documents from the drawer and handed them to everyone.
These four documents are exactly the 1.5% equity dividend of Chenxi Films.
If there is no listing, these shares are actually fake, that is, according to the company’s profit, they are given this proportion of profit.
It is also indicated in the contract that this dividend is only valid when the contracted director is still cooperating with Chenxi Films.
For the morning movie, it does not have any influence.
In theory, it’s the people present, and everyone pays 1.5 percent in dividends.
However, the Russell brothers have always made movies together, so the two brothers are regarded as one person and share the 1.5% dividend.
Several people took over the contract and looked at it, and waited until they saw that Kevin wanted to give everyone extra money.
Mitt stood up first, his face a little red.
It looks like a big blushing bear, which is quite funny.
Mitt scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:
“Kevin, you don’t need to give so much. The director’s salary will be increased by dividends. If there is a big-selling movie, it will cost tens of millions of dollars every year, which is actually quite a lot.”
The contracted director of Chenxi Films has a basic salary, but of course the salary is not high.
Two hundred thousand dollars, for a famous director, is naturally a drizzle.
The main point is the share of the film.
First of all, in Chenxi Films, there are two options for getting paid for filming. One is that there is no basic salary. Unlike other film directors and part-time jobs, they get a salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars to shoot movies.
Rather, it is used to divide.
And it is a net profit share.
Usually five to ten percent.
That is to say, a Transformers box office profit is estimated to be around 300 million to 400 million US dollars, so Mitt can get more than 10 million US dollars to 20 million US dollars.
Plus a certain share of copyright.
This is a small amount of money, but for a long time, it can be eaten until the Transformers have no influence.
Of course, because the main copyright is in Hasbro, the copyright income of Transformers is much less than normal.
This is prepared to prevent the director from being bad at financial management and going bankrupt.
It is not a problem to ensure that they live a prosperous life, even if they leave the morning movie, this is part of Kevin’s good reputation.
However, the filming and release cycle of this kind of blockbuster is very long. At Mitt’s speed, it is not bad to be able to make three films in five years.
On average, the annual income is about 10 million US dollars.
This money is enough for Mitt, and he doesn’t have much ambition.
Although his family background is considered to be in the upper middle class, it is obviously far from the level of annual income of tens of millions of dollars.
To a certain extent, it has already crossed the class.
He is already the pride of their family, and he has no ambition to go further.
Kevin suddenly said to give extra money, his first reaction was to refuse, he felt that Kevin gave too much.
In the face of Mitt’s words, the other people’s expressions were different and their minds were uncertain.
In this regard, Kevin also gave his own thoughts.
