Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

After lingering with Milla Jovovich in the hotel and leaving her his personal business card, Kevin returned to the party.

At this time, it is only ten o'clock at night, which is the most lively time in the party.

Kevin's reappearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The executives of Paramount and Warner Bros. gathered around and congratulated Kevin.

Kevin echoed.

If he only wants to be a simple director, then in fact, he doesn't have to pay attention to these interactions.

However, Kevin's ambition is not just a director, and the future is indispensable to cooperate and contact with major film companies, so it is natural to manage these connections well.

After a circle of communication processes, dozens of public business cards on Kevin's body were distributed, and dozens of business cards were added to his body.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only a few absolute top executives of the film company.

Of course, they are still those old acquaintances of Kevin's.

Warner's president, and Paramount's executives.

Paramount's chief operating officer, Ledrick Hensbarry, because the name was too long, Kevin silently arranged Barry's title in his heart.

Barry enthusiastically came over, with an amiable smile on his face, and his expression was so kind that his subordinates couldn't believe it:

"Kevin, Mission Impossible is reborn from the ashes and reshaped into glory, it is completely dependent on your plan, this time, Paramount really accepts your love."

"It's better like this, Mission Impossible 2, you direct, Paramount is willing to offer you the highest director salary in the industry, still your original cast, plus Tom Cruise's starring..."

Barry's face was full of confidence, and he believed that Kevin would not refuse Paramount's terms.

Mission Impossible 2, on the basis of such a successful mission-impossible 1, even if the shooting is bad, there is no possibility of losing money.

This is basically sending money to Kevin.

Of course, it is naturally not comparable to being an investor, but the advantage is that Kevin does not have any risks.

As for getting Kevin to invest, that's certainly impossible.

The big sale of Mission Impossible 1 has caused several waves of quarrels between Paramount executives.

They are all hurting for the benefits of letting out, and they can only watch Warner, MGM, and Chenxi eat meat.

As for finding a way to drill the leaks in the contract, this idea is not uncommon.

However, considering the power of Warner and MGM, the only thing they can actually do is Kevin's 30% investment.

And Kevin's current relationship with Warner and MGM, it's really hard to say whether they will stand up for Kevin.

After some consideration, Paramount extinguished this caution.

Put all your attention on the sequel to Mission Impossible.

With the foundation laid by Kevin, as long as the sequel is not too bad, they Paramount can make a lot of money.

And after Mission Impossible 2, they can even launch Mission Impossible 3, 4, 5 and even more.

The real big head is actually in their hands.

Instead of entangled in those interests under Kevin, it is better to continue to develop the follow-up to the big IP of Mission Impossible.

And the safest means is naturally to use the original cast from the director to the actors to the production team.

So, after they learned about the party held by Tom Cruise, they immediately asked Barry to invite Kevin here.

Faced with Barry's confident invitation, Kevin shook his head firmly.

"I'm sorry, my new movie is already planned, to invest in the same huge fantasy pirate film, I have to invest at least 20% or more."

Kevin said this, in fact, he politely refused.

Of course, if Mission Impossible 2, Paramount is willing to give him more than 30% of the investment share, he is not impossible to break his own rules.

Although he is a man who talks about rules, he can't help if others give too much.

Faced with Kevin's attitude, Barry was somewhat disappointed.

But Paramount can give the highest film salary in the industry, but it is absolutely impossible to give him an investment share.

Mission Impossible 2 is a steady business, they will not give the outside world any investment opportunities, eat them Paramount alone.

Since Kevin is unwilling to continue to be the director of the Mission Impossible sequel, he, the operating officer and producer, naturally has to find another director worthy of trust in the Mission Impossible 2 project.

Thinking of this, Barry smiled, exchanged a polite conversation with Kevin and turned to leave.

On the other hand, Warner President Robinoff was keenly aware of Kevin's new movie plan.

A fantasy pirate movie?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel difficult in his heart.

Looking at the box office results in recent years, none of the fantasy films have sold well.

Oh no!

Last year there was an Aladdin, but it was a world classic IP, and it was also an animated film.

Although the theme is fantasy, it is obviously not the same as Kevin's pirate film...

However, although this theme does not seem to be so popular in the market.

But if the director is Steve Kevin, they Warner is still willing to invest a part of the share.

However, all this must wait until Kevin's project proposal is decided.

Thinking of this, Robinoff couldn't help but sigh for Kevin in his heart.

He is only twenty-five years old, and he is already a very mature producer and director in Hollywood.

The producer of Mission Impossible and the producer who escaped from Desperate Town are useless on the set, and their biggest role is to supervise that Kevin does not use the funds to make the movie indiscriminately.

And that's actually the staff of the insurance company in charge.

That is, Kevin's next movie, he alone occupies three positions.

Producer, director and screenwriter.

Such a person is not a genius, what is a genius.

Thinking of this, Robinoff came to Kevin's side and asked directly:

"Kevin, I don't know how much investment do you need for your pirate film?"

"Warner Bros. is willing to give you at least 30 million financial support!"

Robinov calculated in his heart, and finally decided on an investment amount of 30 million.

This amount, judging from the recent Warner Bros. profits, even if it is completely lost, it will not hurt the bones.

On the contrary, if he really loses money, he just suggested that Kevin return to the horror film field he is best at and make small investments.

Kevin's small investment, as long as it is a production cost of less than five million, they Warner can cover it all.

Kevin nodded, but did not respond immediately, just deferred:

"At present, even the project plan has not come out, so there is no hurry, wait until I carefully do a market investigation."

Robinov nodded and ended today's exchange for the time being.
