Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

After all, it is clear that there is a profitable business, and the theater line will not talk about human favors.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kevin was able to open up the channel of the theater line.

As for overseas distribution, Kevin really has no way.

If you have to say, the only way is to buy MGM and use MGM's resources to cultivate Sunrise Films' overseas distribution.

However, a Pirates of the Caribbean movie alone will definitely not work.

Kevin suddenly looked up and asked,

"Do you know Jack Chan from Hong Kong?"

"You mean Jackie Chan, right?"

Dawson asked rhetorically.

Kevin nodded, and he realized that Jackie Chan's stage name was actually more famous than his American name.

But at this time, Uncle Long seems to have such a great influence, right?

Forgive why Kevin is called Uncle Long, he can only say that his childhood memory of Jackie Chan Adventures has had a huge impact on him, and the name Uncle Long is much more convenient for him than the word Jackie Chan.

"I know him, Kung Fu star..."

While speaking, Dawson gestured to the drunken fist movement to indicate that he had really seen his movie.

Kevin spoke:

"I want you to go to Hong Kong and take Jackie Chan's new film from Jiahe Film Company, the North American copyright of the Red Fan District."

"The highest price, eight million US dollars, and at the same time establish a solid film acquisition channel with the film companies in Hong Kong."

"I will regularly buy films from them to help us build theatrical channels and DVD channels, and make up for the weakness of our low number of self-released films."

Dawson nodded, although he didn't understand why Kevin valued such a movie so much, he still followed the usual principles.

Just carry out Kevin's orders.

.....

Time continues to pass.

Kevin sits in the company, going back and forth between Marvel and Dawn.

And the people and horses of the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean have also begun to assemble one after another, and will soon start shooting.

And so the time came to July.

The upper part of Batman's Dark Knight also came to an end.

The total box office in North America reached a shocking amount of 220 million US dollars.

All the films of the same period, in front of it, are eclipsed.

After all, there are no big works this year, the competition is not too fierce, and the upper part of the Dark Knight is simply dazzling.

Stimulated by such a box office, Warner held a grand celebration party.

Kevin was invited to a hotel designated by Warner to participate in the party.

...

There are two types of Hollywood celebration parties, one is simply that investors and crew members get together and have fun at the box office.

The other is to invite many stars and investors in the industry to participate in the name of the celebration party.

Come and show off the power of your company.

Obviously, Warner's purpose is the second.

Tokevin's Fu, Pirates of the Caribbean won last year's North American box office title.

And this year, Batman's Dark Knight has the meaning of winning the championship again.

Warner is not good in the industry

, at this time, do not hold a celebration party to show off, it can be said that the entire Warner senior management is not happy.

With this in mind, this gave birth to this celebration party.

Robinoff is talking with the presidents of several film companies.

"This year's annual box office champion seems to have been locked by our Warner Bros. in advance, guys, sorry."

"Alas, winning the annual box office championship in a row is a demonstration of our Warner's ability, and next year's summer file, we Warner will continue to work hard..."

Robinov put on an abominable face, showing off.

The presidents of several other Hollywood giants scanned around one by one.

It seems to have completely ignored Robinov's show-offs.

The biggest reason why they are willing to attend such a party is that they want to talk to Steve Kevin in person.

Previous offers to him for a film were rejected by Steve Kevin.

But seeing Steve Kevin's movie win the North American box office championship twice in a row makes them all a little unable to sit still.

Generally speaking, film companies have a huge advantage in terms of status against any director.

As investors, they are confident.

Often they are choosing the director.

But Steve Kevin is an exception.

Throughout Hollywood, there is only one director who makes money and filming fast.

The long is half a year, and the less is a movie a month or two.

This efficiency makes everyone else hungry.

Since the invitation can't be made, then the interview, you must find a way to pull Steve Kevin over.

If you really can't pull it...

These presidents have their own ghosts in their hearts, and if Steve Kevin is not willing to work with them, they will plot how to destroy Steve Kevin's new movie.

Bust his myths.

No way, the market is so big.

In the past, it was several major film companies that took turns eating the box office.

Everyone can accept it.

Now here comes Steve Kevin, come up and take a bite and eat the biggest piece of the cake.

Then the leftovers are eaten by them.

No one can stand this.

...

As soon as Kevin entered the party, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The presidents of several major film companies stepped forward to invite Kevin, and after Kevin's direct refusal, they left him one by one with a bad face.

However, because Kevin said that he wanted to invest in movies, the presidents of these film companies were relieved.

It was not intended to go too far.

It's just a cold face.

Seeing this situation, Kevin did not have anything to fear in his heart.

This is a normal situation.

He had long been ready.

At present, he has not yet left the cooperation with large companies, so he does not have to face this difficulty himself for the time being.

But with the release of Marvel's movie next year at the latest, Kevin knows that he will definitely face a head-on conflict with other studios.

This is also a necessary experience for his film company to embark on the road to gianthood.

After these people left.

A middle-aged white man who looked thin and thin came to Kevin's side with a gentle smile.

"Hello, I am Alan Bergman, president of Brook Vista Film Company, and I would like to send you an invitation to the film on behalf of Bu Wei and Walt Disney, I wonder if Bloom has this honor?"

"I'm sorry, I have a film company myself, and I'm going to invest in a movie with my own full ownership."

"I may not have time to accept an external film invitation, please forgive me for not being able to accept your invitation."

Even in the face of one of the Hollywood giants, Kevin still politely refused.

When Alan Bergman heard this, he was relieved.

In the midst of decades of Hollywood experience.

There is no shortage of Steve Kevin who is very confident in himself after the movie is a big seller, so he takes all his net worth to invest in movies.

But without exception, their final outcome is to lose all their net worth, remembering the lesson of never investing their own money in the movie.

If Kevin still adheres to the long-term cooperation with Warner, then other studios will definitely suppress him.

For now, though, Kevin invests on his own.

In the absence of the manpower and material resources of large companies, not only him, but also other film companies are not optimistic about him.

Of course, because he is not optimistic, the resistance Kevin encounters will be relatively small.

...

However, Alan Bergman still agrees with Steve Kevin's directing ability.

"Bowey Film Company, always welcome your arrival."

After saying the beautiful words, Alan Bergman floated away.

Kevin said that his next movie should be fully invested by himself, and this news made many people relax.

Based on Hollywood's experience for so long, everyone is not optimistic about his success.

Even the heart of the tripper is much smaller.
