章節 53: Hiring
Dawson also gave him all the information yesterday.
Since it was acquired by Marvel, it is not that it has not made the idea of film and television. Just this year, it also launched the animated version of the X-Men, which has gained a certain rating.
However, the rapid development of the Internet this year has brought great pressure to Marvel Entertainment.
At the root of Marvel, the sales of comics have dropped significantly. The biggest reason is that after the rise of the Internet, people suddenly discovered that computer games, the content on the computer, is much more fun than any comics.
People are obsessed with the Internet and need to go out and buy comics, and suddenly they are not so popular.
Marvel's revenue began to decline significantly.
This news can't help but lift Kevin's spirits.
This is the beginning of the most difficult period for Marvel. After 1996, Marvel Entertainment finally could not bear the huge financial pressure and began to gradually sell the copyrights of popular characters in its comics to survive.
And before that, Kevin has to get a huge sum of money to take down Marvel.
This capital, if Kevin expects it, will be around $300 million to $400 million at a minimum.
Counting that he has to buy more shares in MGM, the financial pressure has suddenly increased.
Thinking about the problem like this, while avoiding the second daughter sleeping in the room, Kevin fell asleep on the sofa.
-------------------------------------
The next day, the housekeeper of the Beverly Hills villa area called. Someone called him and briefly described the appearance of the person who came. Kevin knew immediately that it was the bodyguard and driver introduced by Dawson.
After comforting Julie and Hayek, Kevin went straight out of the gate.
Julie and Hayek both have scooters, but Kevin didn't choose to buy a car because he didn't like driving.
After a few minutes of walking and more than 20 minutes of walking, Kevin came to a card location.
As a villa area, it is naturally a place where strangers are not allowed to enter, which is why Hollywood stars are keen to buy houses here.
As soon as he walked out of Sheka, a middle-aged man with a beard who looked very simple and honest appeared in front of Kevin.
At this time, it was still September, before autumn, it was a hot time.
The big man was wearing an armless singlet, and the muscles on his arms seemed to give people a sense of security, a bit of Qiao Feng's arrogance.
It still looks like a bodyguard in appearance.
Kevin stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said:
"Hi, my name is Steve Kevin."
"Hello, I'm Chen Zhiyun!"
While Kevin looked at Chen Zhiyun, Chen Zhiyun also looked at his future boss. Being a bodyguard for the rich is actually a very good career.
Although there are certain risks, the salary is also high, and there are bonuses and the like.
Dawson offered him $200,000 a year, including various commercial insurance salaries. This salary, at this time in the United States, also belonged to the middle class.
It is enough for the family to live a prosperous life, especially now that the economic crisis has just ended, this job is released, and I don't know how many people will compete for it.
Chen Zhiyun was able to get this opportunity. I have to say that in addition to his own strength, there are also some off-site factors.
That was before Dawson, when he was playing in Chinatown, was targeted by black gangsters.
And Chen Zhiyun acted bravely and showed his superb skills in front of Dawson's eyes, saving him.
Dawson, who owed such a favor, immediately thought of Chen Zhiyun when he heard that the boss was looking for a bodyguard.
"Top Gun, nice name."
Kevin's Mandarin instantly made Chen Zhiyun feel intimacy.
As a second-generation immigrant, although Chen Zhiyun grew up in the United States, he still yearns for the China described by his parents.
As if there were his roots.
This is the inherent complex in the soul buried in Chinese genes.
Kevin dragged Chen Zhiyun to find a place to eat. After getting in the car, after some chatting, he finally found out the specific situation of Chen Zhiyun.
The general direction is in line with Dawson's description. As for force, in the absence of weapons and the field is open, it is not a problem to hit seven or eight people.
Proficient in military fighting, grappling, and some routines of Chinese martial arts.
And can be skillfully used in daily battles.
For his force, Kevin is very satisfied.
In the real world, possessing this kind of force is actually already at the level of the pinnacle of human beings.
It's no joke that two fists can't beat four hands.
After some chat and dinner, Kevin decided to hire him.
Then he threw out a check and asked him to go to the car shop to buy a luxury car, and then customize a bulletproof car.
As a rich man, cherishing his own life is definitely not a joke. Kevin never touches those things that hurt his body on weekdays. Kevin also does not eat less of other supplements. The only thing that hurts his body is probably sex.
After everything is arranged.
Kevin started to get busy with the movie.
The post-production process is also not that simple.
Kevin needs to bet most of his energy, but after the specific production time, it is probably clear.
Warner Bros. and MGM decided to set a specific file for Mission Impossible after consultation.
According to the progress, the special effects will take two months, combined with the time for some adjustments, and the current time.
The release time of Mission: Impossible will not be until the end of November at the earliest.
In North America, there are two of the most lucrative periods.
One is the summer vacation, which lasts more than three months from the festival at the end of May to the middle of September.
The other is Christmas from the end of November to the end of December.
In theory, the most suitable period for the release of Mission Impossible as a commercial blockbuster is the summer season, but obviously, both Warner and MGM have their own performance pressures.
Impossible to let Mission: Impossible drag on until that time.
So Mission: Impossible has no choice but to go straight to theaters on Thanksgiving at the end of November.
Fortunately, the Hollywood movie that threatens Kevin the most, Jurassic Park, the original box office champion this year, was released in June, and it was already offline at this time.
The original eighth place at the box office, Gannet Assassination, was invested by Warner Bros. and belongs to a crime thriller. In order to avoid cannibalism, and considering that Mission: Impossible is an action-adventure film, it is more family-friendly than it.
Therefore, the gannet assassination order was put on file for a month, avoiding the conflict.
In this regard, there is only one movie left, called Slim Dad, which is Kevin's biggest threat.
However, the battle of schedules is unavoidable. The Chainsaw Cry and Escape from the Dead Town happened to fall when the blockbuster was released, but Mission Impossible had to face it at this time.
Kevin is also confident that Mission Impossible's global box office total of 450 million US dollars in 1996 can beat the 420 million global box office achievements of this slim dad in 1993.
In this regard, after some discussion, the finalized Mission Impossible began the offline movie promotion by Liangtang...
