Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

It only took half a day, and these materials were sorted out by Dawson and sent over.

Kevin spread out the information in his big tent and watched it carefully.

The data shows that the copyright of Pokémon's toys, Transformers, and Special Forces all belong to the same company.

It is Hasbro Toys among the largest toy companies in the United States.

The companies that work most closely with Hasbro are Paramount and Disney.

If Kevin wants to win these copyrights, Paramount and Disney are two mountains that cannot be bypassed, thinking of this, Kevin can't help but have a headache.

However, these two copyrights, compared with Pokémon, are somewhat insignificant.

As the largest IP in the future, the copyright of Pokémon is actually still in Nintendo's hands.

Kevin knew that Japan was in a row, and he went to decide.

For such a long time, it is impossible that no one wants to buy the rights of Pokémon, so no one has adapted it until now, which only shows that Nintendo has no plans to sell movie rights at all.

Of course, it may also be that others did not impress him.

However, if Steve Kevin goes, anything is possible.

This is Kevin's confidence in his current self and his position in Hollywood.

MGM, Sunrise Pictures and the boss of Marvel, coupled with the identity of Hollywood's top director, Kevin is confident that he will take the Pokémon movie rights from Nintendo.

Keeping this matter in mind, Kevin called Dawson and asked him to find a way to communicate with the Japanese side.

Make a charter, after Harry Potter filming, go to Japan to negotiate the copyright of Pokémon.

Of course, the main target is Pokémon, and the secondary target is some other copyrights.

Looking at the whole world, in fact, when it comes to IP influence, Japan is a country that cannot be bypassed.

The details of this will not be pursued for the time being.

Kevin only knows that the price of IP at this time is really not high, and for many people, their copyright can be sold to Hollywood, which is an honor.

Under this kind of thinking, Kevin only needs to pay a small price to harvest a large number of excellent IPs.

By the way, Netflix has been included in his command.

For $30 million, it acquired all of Netflix's shares at a premium.

Subsequently, 30% of the dividends were given to Netflix executives free of charge, and signed a harsh clause with them that once they left, they would not be allowed to engage in the same industry for fifteen years.

Simply put, for Netflix's boss, Kevin's wave of acquisitions has made him richly free.

During this period, more than ten million dollars was enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

The president of Netflix really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

Until the Internet era arrives completely, Kevin does not plan to develop Netflix vigorously.

He is just accumulating various IPs.

Strive to let Netflix, in the Internet era, directly get the most market as soon as it plays.

Time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, it was May.

This was May 1998.

The Titanic set a number of new records.

The longest-running movie, the highest-grossing movie in North America, the most consistent movie, and more.

In the case of everyone's dumbfounded, the Titanic, through its release in half a year, successfully obtained a box office of 600 million US dollars.

This achievement surprised countless film companies.

They had all blacklisted James Cameron.

A director who can pit the 200 million dollar investment amount of the film company who dares to use it.

Half a year later, everyone was stunned.

At the North American box office alone, the Titanic has actually returned its book and made 200 million US dollars.

At the same time, the movie Titanic has also been released around the world.

It also achieved astonishing box office results.

In the mainland, this Hollywood does not care much about the movie box office.

The Titanic actually achieved what could be achieved beyond Steve Kevin's films, achieving a box office amount of nearly 200 million yuan in more than a month.

Even Steve Kevin's movies are no more than that.

And the Titanic looks obviously more stamina.

200 million yuan is far from its end.

Along with this movie, James Cameron's name resounded all over the world for the first time.

It also let countless people know that Hollywood has such a big director.

At the same time, other studios have removed James Cameron from the blacklist.

Fox reacted quickly and promised James Cameron an unlimited investment amount for his next film.

It turns out that while investing in James Cameron will make people regret, if you don't invest, you will regret even more.

Fox has regretted having Paramount involved in the investment.

According to current data, the Titanic, if you add the $600 million box office of the United States.

It got a total of 1.5 billion US dollars at the box office.

The scary thing is that the Titanic did not end.

In other words, 1.5 billion dollars is not its end.

Meanwhile, in this May.

A superhero movie invested by Dawn Films and produced by Steve Kevin is about to be released.

That's right, this movie is exactly the movie made independently by Zack Schneider, Ghost Rider.

Nicolas Cage, a collision with a superhero movie.

Just a little publicity has attracted the attention of countless people.

···

Inside Sunrise Films.

Three directors, entered a short break.

Kevin looked at Zach and Mitt in front of him and couldn't help but have a little headache.

Originally, he planned to use three films to directly rule the summer of 1998.

Let other film companies feel what is called pressure.

Unexpectedly, it was he who dropped the chain.

Of course, in addition to the special effects, all other aspects of the movie have already been filmed.

The biggest problem is Hogwarts... Or Hogwarts, which has not yet been built.

As long as Harry Potter sells well, the theme park is bound to welcome a large number of tourists.

It's all live money.

Kevin couldn't just give up this great opportunity.

To this end, after some thought, Kevin, who was not eager to recover the cost, decided to put the Harry Potter movie on the Christmas file.

In the summer, it will be handed over to the two movies of Ghost Rider and Iron Man.

He also wanted to see if superhero movies could be so popular without his director.

In Kevin's heart, he believes in the charm of superhero movies themselves.
