MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 206
"Yes, my grandfather is Russian and came to America at a very early age."
"After coming to America, he met my grandmother and gave birth to my father."
"Then your grandmother must be beautiful, otherwise how could there be descendants like you."
Kevin casually got close to Pova.
In the same sentence, as Kevin, the vast majority of women will chat happily with Kevin even if they are embarrassed.
If a woman is interested in you, it doesn't really matter whether you chat or not, they will take the initiative to cooperate.
Just like a Sicong.
After successfully getting her contact information from Bowa's hands, they also came to the director's office.
After letting the bodyguard wait at the door, and after saying see you in the evening with Pova, Kevin pushed open the door and walked in.
This kind of acquisition is naturally reserved in advance.
The director of TNT was waiting for Kevin in the room.
His name was Johnson, and he was a middle-aged man of forty-five years.
As the director of a TV station, even if it's just a TV station that doesn't laugh too much, it's already considered a success.
Unfortunately, at this age, the most likely mid-life crisis has come suddenly.
Since 1995, for four consecutive years, TNT's ratings have been poor, and the book has suffered losses.
The capital behind it carefully calculated an account and believed that TNT was not necessary for rescue, so they came up with the idea of selling TNT to make a return.
Johnson, as the director, was pushed to the front of the stage.
As for his future destiny, it depends on the thoughts of the person who acquired TNT.
It was to give him a severance package and to dismiss him.
Or should he still be hired as the head of the station, or demoted and retained?
This is all possible.
Seeing Kevin come in, Johnson quickly stood up from his seat and greeted him with a smile:
"Director Kevin, please take a seat."
Kevin simply nodded and sat down on the sofa.
"Director Johnson, please sit down too."
Johnson heard Kevin's words, and quickly and cautiously sat across from Kevin.
Chapter 304 Take down TNT TV station
In the workplace, middle-aged people carry too much burden, and it is inevitable that they will show some ugliness.
Like bowing down to someone stronger than you.
Kevin will never look down on this kind of person. He knows that the reason why this kind of person is servile is because behind him, there are the burdens of one or even two families.
This is responsible performance and should not be ridiculed.
Seeing him sitting down, Kevin also said straight to the point:
"I don't know what the current state of TNT TV station is, and how much money is it going to sell."
Don't be afraid to ask.
Since Kevin wants to know more about it, it means that this famous director and billionaire in Hollywood is not just here to play, but has serious intention to acquire TNT.
Johnson hurriedly began to report all kinds of data seriously.
"As of yesterday, TNT currently has 200,000 paying users and an annual revenue of over 10 million US dollars..."
Johnson said a lot of glorified words, but with Kevin's shrewdness, it was naturally impossible to be deceived by him.
200,000 paying users, even if the average price is the highest, will be around $30.
A month is $6 million, a year is $72 million.
It seems very good, but if you count the production cost, staff salaries, and taxes, it would be good to end up with tens of millions of dollars.
And the TV station that has been reduced to prostitution will only be worse than this.
Losses are possible.
Therefore, Johnson may not be telling the truth, and of course, lying is not the case.
The data are all fixed. Cases like this kind of acquisition are evaluated by a professional team, not just one mouthful.
His purpose is to beautify these data, so that Kevin will not immediately dismiss the idea of acquisition.
Johnson was introducing various data of TNT incessantly. Kevin suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his speech, and then said:
"Just quote the price. If it's right, I'll take over TNT."
"After I bought TNT, you still held the position of director."
Negotiations are all appearances, and everyone knows what the situation of TNT is at this time.
The company behind TNT has already set a price for TNT, and as long as it is not lower than the lower limit, it can be sold directly.
In fact, TV stations are not easy to sell, so the capital behind TNT gave Johnson considerable autonomy.
"Eighty million dollars!"
Kevin made a promise, and Johnson didn't pretend.
In fact, the value of the TV station itself is only ten to twenty million dollars.
The most valuable of these are documents.
The most valuable thing is to legally run a TV station.
Eighty million US dollars can be regarded as an explanation for the capital behind the TV station.
Johnson directly quoted the reserve price.
"Okay, the specific things will be handed over later."
"You are still in charge of the TV station. For the specific follow-up matters, when the handover is over, you can come to Chenxi Movies and we will talk in detail."
Various Marvel TV series, Tom and Jerry anime, Pink Panther anime, Harry Potter animation.
Even Pokemon can be placed on TNT TV.
In Kevin's mind, there are countless ideas for popular TV shows, such as America's Got Talent.
And the Wilderness Survival series.
These things can attract a large audience to pay.
Of course, there are also large-scale American dramas such as A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, and Kevin will not let them go.
But after all, it's just a TV column. Kevin will only make a plan and arrange for others to work. His main business is movies, and he won't invest more energy in TV dramas.
The TV station is also a closed-loop supplement to Kevin's big entertainment plan.
In a few simple words, the entire acquisition was negotiated, and it didn't take as long as a normal negotiation.
One is that Kevin's time is valuable, and he'd rather take a few days off than toss himself up for those millions of dollars.
The second is that one of the two parties is really eager to sell, and the other really wants to buy.
Hit it off.
After the deal was reached, Kevin turned around and opened a room in a nearby five-star hotel, and made a phone call to Pova.
Then in the evening, he experienced the special taste brought by this Russian woman.
I have to say that this 23-year-old Russian-born female anchor is really expected, and she is the most plump among all the women in Kevin, and even made Kevin try a few special positions.
Sleepless nights.
Fight till dawn.
He slept on the bed until two o'clock in the afternoon, and then Kevin woke up.
As soon as he woke up, Kevin felt the touch of his lower body. He was experienced and naturally knew what was going on.
After enjoying it for a while.
Kevin said slowly:
"Pova, from now on you will be the only female host that TNT supports."
That's what Kevin gave Pova back.
In the TV station, there is usually only one host, one brother and one sister.
As a young person, it is obvious that her status in TNT is not high, she is just an ordinary beautiful host.
If she wants to sit on the position of the first sister by herself, it is estimated that she will have to endure for at least a few years, and it is possible that she will not endure.
Now with Kevin's support, she will give priority to any resources of TNT in the future.
As soon as these words came out, Kevin clearly felt a deeper feeling.
Addicted to it for a while.....
-------------------------------------
Time came to the second day.
Dawn Film Company.
"Dawson, you arranged for someone to negotiate with TNT, and the final price has been determined, which is 80 million US dollars, completely buying out TNT."
"The staff will not be changed for the time being, and TNT will be included in the subsidiary company of Chenxi Films."
"Yes."
"I'll arrange this later."
"Also, the schedule for the Fast and the Furious movie has been set."
Dawson flipped through the materials and reported to Kevin Hui.
"when?"
"On June 11th, give us 50% of the schedule."
Kevin nodded, accepting this condition.
Every summer, the competition is extremely fierce.
When there are no big competitors, the cinema can arrange films for Kevin in large quantities.
But this summer, there is a formidable competitor.
That is, the legendary Star Wars, the platoon can give 50% of the face is already very good.
Cars are driving on the road, and Kevin can see Star Wars propaganda everywhere.
The release date is May 19.
Even Kevin didn't want to go head-to-head with Star Wars.
This is a clear stubborn stubbornness. On the other hand, Lucas is still his senior, and naturally belongs to the same faction, so there is no need to provoke each other.
June 10th, and May 19th were almost 20 days away. For Kevin, the impact was actually not that big.
Chapter 305
On the other hand, there are also two movies from Chenxi Film Company that are released in this summer program.
One is a film directed by Zack Snyder, Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta.
It tells the story of one of the most tragic battles in history: the Battle of Thermopylae between Persia and Greece.
The story of three hundred Spartan warriors who fought against the Persian army.
The story is actually very simple, which further tests the director's skills.
