Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

For this, MGM and Warner Bros. discussed it and reluctantly agreed.

After all, Kevin at this time, if he does not cooperate with them, looking for outside funds to enter the market, is actually a very simple thing.

Capital markets are fascinated by successful people.

Kevin is currently a sweet potato in the eyes of capital.

If he releases the wind, his new film will have to accept outside investment, even if it is 100 million US dollars, it is estimated that it will not be long before it can be funded.

Although the two of them may not be very optimistic about the results of fantasy pirate films, Hollywood also has a habit of chasing the footsteps of winners.

Since Kevin has been successful in three consecutive movies, they are also willing to accompany Kevin to gamble again.

Compared with Warner, MGM has more confidence in Kevin, after all, Kevin is a shareholder of MGM, and he can't pit anyone himself.

Thinking of this stubble, LTECH said decisively:

"MGM, 40% of the investment, some of the crew is still handed over to MGM to deduct part of the investment amount."

Robinoff no longer hesitated, and immediately said:

"Then the remaining thirty percent will be handed over to us Warner Bros."

"The follow-up publicity costs are also shared according to this ratio, and the publicity costs of a $100 million large-scale production will be calculated according to 20 million US dollars, right?"

Robinov added.

Everyone nodded.

....

After MGM left, Kevin came to the Hollywood crew to start working officially.

"Johnny Depp!"

"To!"

"Sharma Hayyak!"

"To!"

"Milla Jovovich!"

"To!"

Zack

Schneider, as the assistant director, counted the number of people one by one, ensuring that the entire crew of more than 100 people had arrived.

This looked up at Kevin waiting for his instructions.

More than a hundred people looked at Kevin silently, with different eyes, each with their own different thoughts.

"Everyone, as the actor of the pirate or navy identity in the plot, stand up."

Kevin held the horn and said loudly, his face extremely serious.

Kevin, who is relatively peaceful in life, can be daunting once he comes to the theater.

Even when filming to escape from Desperate Town, Julie didn't dare to joke with Kevin on the set, on the set, they were just the relationship between the actor and the director.

Dozens of actors, including Johnny Depp, stood up, and Kevin continued to say seriously:

"You guys will have two to three weeks of closed training, including walking posture, and swordsmanship training that matches your identity, and now, if you have questions, you can ask them in advance."

"Once the training starts, if you leave, you have to pay the crew a high amount of liquidated damages."

Saying that, Kevin looked at everyone present expressionlessly.

A black actor stood up, raised his hand, and said

, "I have something to do in a few days, can I take a leave of absence?"

Kevin said coldly:

"Okay, you've been fired, now, immediately, leave the crew immediately."

The black man's expression instantly changed from a questioning expression to a confused expression, and he didn't expect that he would be fired just by asking.

Although he had heard that Steve Kevin had a reputation as a tyrant on the set, he was trying to test it, but he still didn't expect to be fired like this.

Then his expression changed again, becoming unconvinced and angry, and he shouted in his mouth:

"If you do this, I will complain to the Screen Actors Guild, and it is our right to take leave."

"Do you still want to continue acting in Hollywood?"

Kevin said directly, and the cold breath suddenly cut off the black man's thoughts.

As a major shareholder of MGM and at the same time in the honeymoon period of cooperation with Warner Bros., his words, banning this unknown black actor is simply easy.

If this black actor is no longer funny, Kevin will really ban him.

The black man lowered his face, did not dare to shout anymore, and left here with a gray face.

Looking at his back, Kevin turned to look at Zack Schneider and said,

"Go find an actor to replace his role."

Then he turned his head in front of him and continued

, "Now, does anyone else have other problems?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Well, now, the actor who stood up and followed director Zack Schneider to the bus outside, and the training site was in a training camp near Mount San Gabriel, a hundred kilometers away."

"Other crew, the filming staff are temporarily on vacation, the post-shooting tasks are heavy, now first raise your spirits."

"Other actors, go through the channels themselves, learn about the pirates that occurred between 1720 and 1750, and after two to three weeks, inform you to have a brief understanding and assessment of the events of that period."

“····"

"Okay, let's disperse now."

After arranging these tasks, the crew instantly began to run.

And Kevin came to Warner Bros.'s self-built set again.

Located in the wilderness outside of Los Angeles, this huge area with mountains and forests is suitable for all kinds of films.

Kevin came here to build the most critical site among the Gatby pirates, the cave where Barbosa hid his treasures.

That is, the cave full of gold coins.

As soon as he arrived here, the Warner staff in charge of the venue construction greeted him.

After listening to Kevin's description, the staff led Kevin to the studio.

Kevin's requirements did not meet the scenes in the entire set, so they had to be built from scratch.

After making a request, estimating the budget, bargaining, and closing the deal.

The construction of the scene was completely handed over to Warner Bros.

Of course, before the official construction, Kevin frantically tortured the experts for three days, trying to restore the cave in his memory, and at the same time invited professionals to design the shape of the rock and the arrangement of the waterway under the corrosion of the ocean current.

Finally, a cave construction drawing that was very in line with Kevin's imagination and at the same time very scientific appeared.

After the drawings were completed, Kevin naturally had no time to supervise the next construction.

However, as Warner accounts for 30% of the investment project, no one dares to joke about this, and Kevin is still very relieved about this.

After arranging this most important filming location, Kevin told the staff about some of the scene design requirements of the Black Pearl.

The scenes on the Black Pearl and the Black Pearl ship naturally cannot all be completed on the ship, so there is no way to film.

It had to be partly shot at sea, partly in the studio, plus post-production.

As for the town at the beginning of the movie, the seaside seascape, Kevin has also chosen the filming location.

That is the port of San Pedro in the city of San Pedro, which has a beautiful sea view and only needs to build a small number of wooden retro buildings.

Most of this kind of scene must still rely on special effects to complete the vision, otherwise, the investment cost will be too large.

Unless...

Kevin suddenly came up with an idea and immediately asked his assistant to contact the local tourist office in the city of San Pedro.

As the filming location of a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, coupled with Kevin's hot status in Hollywood at this time, it is reasonable to apply for an assistance from the tourism office

of San Pedro City to build a Pirates of the Caribbean town, which is simply appropriate, as for why the name Pirates of the Caribbean Town is used, it is naturally to rub the popularity of the movie, so as to help San Pedro attract tourists.
