After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing to be asked by Kevin and directly say that he didn't watch it.

Kevin saw all the expressions of rejoicing on their faces, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking. It doesn't matter whether you read it or not. I'm sure I won't say anything because of it."

The Russell brothers sneered, showing that they were thinking too much.

In fact, he secretly thought in his heart, if he really wanted to say that, who knows if Kevin will wear small shoes for them in the future, it’s okay if he doesn’t emphasize it, but once he emphasizes it, it will make them think about it even more.

At the same time, they decided in their hearts that when Kevin's new movie was released, no matter how busy they were, they had to watch it right away to avoid this kind of thing from happening again.

Of course Kevin didn't know their thoughts.

Calling them over is because they have a serious matter to find them, which is related to the follow-up of Spider-Man, so naturally they have to ask them if they have seen Spider-Man.

Now that you've seen it, it's easier to say something.

Kevin said seriously:

"You have watched Spider-Man, and the rest is easy to talk about. I hope you can become the director of the sequel to Spider-Man."

The Russell brothers were shocked by this sudden surprise.

So far, their works worth mentioning are only one Pirates of the Caribbean TV series.

From a TV drama director to a director of a big production, this leap is too big.

Brother Joe Russell said with an unconfident tone:

"Director Kevin, this... I'm afraid our brothers are not capable enough to undertake this task."

The Russell brothers are still very sober, of course, it is also a kind of satisfaction with the current status quo.

Being able to become a TV drama director stably is actually a rare thing in the United States. There are many directors in the directors union who have nothing to film.

At present, their fundamentals are still not stable, so they rush to become directors of big productions. Once they fail at the box office, they don't know when they will get another chance.

Therefore, they are also careful about Kevin's sudden idea of ​​wanting them to be the director of Spider-Man.

The Russo brothers answered steadily, which made Kevin sure that they could really take on this important task.

This continued:

"Of course not right away. The company has two major productions to start filming. I plan to arrange for the two of you brothers to work as assistant directors in two crews respectively. I will let Schneider and Mitt try their best to impart more experience to you. "

"After you finish training, come back to shoot Spider-Man. In the middle, I will arrange another small investment for you to practice."

"If this small production can give me a surprise, then"

The second part of Spider-Man, Kevin is expected to start filming in 99.

During this period, there is still nearly a year and a half to hone them, and Kevin feels that there is still plenty of time.

Although the profession of director is more and more prosperous with age, in fact, most of the real famous directors have already made their debut when they were young.

Of course, this refers to people in their thirties, but they are actually not that young.

In other words, when the directors have all the experience they should have, the level of their films should be that level.

As you get older, you may not be more powerful in this regard.

Directing is a profession that pays attention to talent.

Cameron, the truck director, was just a truck driver before he became a director.

But after learning the experience of directing, the first work showed amazing talent.

This makes those academic directors go where to reason.

In the future, the Russo Brothers will be able to direct so many Marvel blockbusters and get such a high box office, which proves that they have this kind of strength.

Now Kevin is just helping them discover their talents earlier.

"Thank you Director Kevin, then we agree."

Now that Kevin has said this, the Russell Brothers naturally cannot refuse.

If the small production fails, then they have no face to be the director of the sequel to the Spider-Man movie.

If it succeeds, then it is not impossible for such a great director to become one.

"Okay, the new movie is still in preparation, you can work on the second season of Pirates of the Caribbean first."

The work is done.

The two Russell brothers left.

It's five o'clock, Kevin's off-duty time.

The driver and bodyguards are already waiting for Kevin in the company's parking lot.

······

On the other side, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio reappeared in the nightclub.

At this time, Tobey Maguire was showing the girls in the bar a skill of playing cards, just like a master playing poker in a gambling movie. Screaming endlessly.

"Leonardo, after the Titanic, do you have no film appointments?"

Tobey Maguire asked casually.

"No, I have acted in this kind of blockbuster, and now I am asked to go to ordinary small productions. I have no interest."

"I haven't been approached by a blockbuster movie recently, so I hope to be the leading actor in a movie directed by Steve Kevin like you."

As soon as these words came out, Tobey Maguire was somewhat guilty.

He stopped the cards in his hand and dispersed the girls.

Tobey Maguire rubbed his head, slightly worried:

"I don't know how Spider-Man's box office is, and I don't have anything to do with the theater. I won't know until it's published in the newspaper tomorrow."

"You don't have me."

Leonardo answered, and at the same time he couldn't wait to make a phone call, asking friends in the theater.

Chapter 240 Jewish Power

In a few words, Leonardo found out what he wanted.

After hanging up the phone casually, Leonardo had a shocked expression on his face.

Looking at Leonardo's expression, Tobey Maguire asked:

"How about it, how much is Spider-Man's box office on the first day?"

Leonardo dared not believe it:

"Sixty-five million!"

Hearing this data, a burst of great joy flooded Toby's heart, and the movie he starred in sold well.

As a member of Hollywood, he knows exactly what this first-day box office represents.

This means that he succeeded.

With this work, he will go from a second-tier actor to a Hollywood superstar in one fell swoop.

The box office on the first day was close to 7000 million US dollars, which is quite a bit of the momentum of Jurassic Park back then. It is no exaggeration to say that this year's annual box office champion has been booked in advance by Spider-Man.

Of course, this was based on the premise that he didn't know that the Titanic was about to perform miracles.

Tobey Maguire, who was still a little worried in his heart, now seems to have taken a reassurance in his heart and let go of his heart.

Seeing Leonardo look a little envious, Tobey Maguire comforted:

"Titanic may or may not have better grades, but wait for a while, let's go, you can play wherever you want during this time, and I will pay for it."

With the awareness that he is about to become popular, Tobey Maguire also has the confidence to bear Leonardo's consumption at this time.

In addition to the 300 million salary that Spider-Man gave him, even if he spent all of it, he wouldn't worry anymore.

Immediately there will be more money and higher pay waiting for him to earn.

Hearing his comfort, Leonardo put away his worry about gain and loss, and said with a smirk:

"Then I'm not going to be impolite, the luxury yacht starts in a month?"

"go!"

Tobey Maguire agreed.

······

Spider-Man's box office data, under the attention of interested people, soon appeared on the tables of major film companies.

Faced with Spider-Man, who almost broke through 7000 million US dollars on the first day, everyone could only envy and hate. Some of the films that were originally scheduled for a week after Spider-Man's release have chosen to postpone.

Avoid Spider-Man's sharp edge.

It doesn't matter if the box office is high on the first day, it is also quite good in the audience's word of mouth. Except that it is not very popular with film critics, all the statistics show that Spider-Man is an invincible existence in this summer file.

Whoever meets who is unlucky.

And Steve Kevin's success once again put pressure on these film companies.

There is only so much time in the summer vacation, and the market is so big. Steve Kevin ate the fattest piece when he came up, and left some leftovers for everyone.

This can't make anyone happy.

For this reason, major film companies have begun to think of countermeasures, and Kevin's set of operations starting from IP and building a complete industrial chain has also been imitated by major film companies.

For this reason, the major bestsellers in the market, especially those suitable for adaptation, have been targeted by major film companies.

·······

The next day.

After a day and a half, Spider-Man's box office data on the first day was reported by major media.

The media is a profession that chases the heat, and this summer, the most concerned topic among the entertainment media is naturally the release of Spider-Man.

With a box office of 700 million US dollars on the first day, it can be said that the king is coming, crushing all other movies.

Steve Kevin's new work, a commercial blockbuster, with 70% of the film schedule, is destined to be invincible for Spider-Man.

In an ordinary movie theater, Spielberg and a friend are watching the Spider-Man movie.

His friend, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was meticulous even in this hot summer, looking like an old-fashioned middle-aged gentleman.

After watching the movie silently, the gentleman came to a restaurant with Spielberg.

After taking his seat, he said:

"Steven, what do you think of this young man's abilities?"

Spielberg pondered for a moment, and after organizing his words, he said:

"He has a very keen commercial vision. Looking at his films, it is not surprising. In Hollywood, not to mention many, you can find a dozen or twenty who can make films of his level. "

"However, with the same movie, at a similar level, his movies can always achieve better box office results."

Spielberg's words are obvious. He doesn't quite approve of Steve Kevin's director level. To put it bluntly, he is a qualified director of commercial films.

But he still agrees with Kevin's vision. His definition of Kevin is a film wizard.

Kevin is always able to find the cool points of the audience, so as to shoot high-grossing movies, which in itself is a manifestation of ability.

The middle-aged gentleman sighed:

"It's a pity, it's a pity that he is not our Jew."

Spielberg nodded, equally regretful.

Because of the experience of being persecuted, the Jews have independently developed a cultural concept of mutual assistance, and this concept has continued to form cliques.

As it is with Wall Street, so it is with Hollywood.

Looking at the top executives of some film companies, and even some media groups behind the scenes, there are Jewish forces among them.

Clearly, the Jews were well aware of the importance of public opinion.

"Steven, let's arrange for some people to work in Dawn Films. I have a hunch that there will definitely be a place for Steve Kevin in Hollywood in the future. I hope he won't interfere with our goals."

"it is good."
