After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

····

After three days of messing around with Nicole Kidman, Kevin headed to the MGM set to start filming Harry Potter.

The crew members are all contracted by Chenxi Films, and they are all veterans.

Everyone is familiar with the workflow.

There was no need to hold any complicated start-up ceremony, as soon as Kevin came over, he started working immediately.

The first thing to shoot was the scene where Harry Potter lived in a relative's house at the beginning of the story.

This is the first time Kevin taught children to act.

Looking at the cute child in front of him, Kevin explained the next short episode in a pleasant manner.

Children's scenes are different from adult filming, and can only be done in short sections.

Therefore, there is no long shot for shooting children's scenes, and it can only be broken down into one frame after another.

Coupled with the fact that the children's understanding ability is not enough, Kevin can't get angry yet, so the progress of the filming is not fast.

However, Kevin is also patient about this.

The parents of the children were also thinking of ways to persuade the children.

For this shoot, Kevin made the children's parents resign.

And they readily agreed.

None of the three pairs of families is rich, so after Kevin offered a movie worth 50 US dollars, he would also arrange jobs for them, and at the same time continue to make movies and increase the salary to a certain extent.

They all resolutely resigned from the UK and came to the United States.

And signed a long-term contract with Kevin, in MGM or Marvel, each doing some easy jobs, plus a salary of 50.

Enough for them to live a very superior life in the United States.

Counting the possible follow-up income, it is much better than when they were in the UK.

And the reason why Kevin did this is also very simple, he wants to control Harry Potter's future salary expenditure.

In his eyes, Harry Potter is not just eight movies.

Instead, twenty, or even thirty.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to be limited to the original content of Harry Potter.

Kevin is going to follow up, let Rowling continue to describe the plot of Harry Potter's son, and continue like this.

At the same time, anime, TV series, and Kevin will not let it go.

He won't waste this kind of god-level IP like Warner.

···

"Little Harry, do you know how to play this scene?"

Kevin looked at the little actor playing Harry Potter with a smile.

Ten-year-old little Harry Potter, with milky breasts, looks very cute.

At this time, the makeup artist, according to Kevin's request, has already made him into the appearance in the plot.

A shallow lightning scar on his forehead is very eye-catching.

Little Harry Potter has been very happy since he came to the United States. His parents took him to many places to eat delicious food.

The place where he lives has also become a big house, and he also has a bedroom of his own.

Under the guidance of his parents, he knew that Kevin brought them all.

For Kevin, he has a deep affection.

Seeing Uncle Kevin ask him if he has figured out the next part of the scene, little Harry Potter nodded quickly and said:

"Bonn remembers clearly, no problem!"

Kevin said with a slightly serious face:

"Harry, remember, you will be called Harry Potter in front of me from now on."

Little Bonn, suddenly a little scared, timidly said:

"I see."

Looking at Bonn's expression, Kevin knew that he might have frightened him, so he quickly relaxed his expression.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, and act again later."

After rubbing Bonn's head and letting him play with the other two young actors, Kevin ordered the assistant director to call Harry Potter's parents.

···

"Director Kevin, what can you do for us?"

A Mediterranean middle-aged British man and a chubby British woman came to Kevin.

Kevin has seen their previous photos. When they were young, they all looked pretty good, which can be regarded as having a certain appearance.

However, in developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, it is difficult for the poor to maintain their appearance.

Vegetables tend to be more expensive than meat in developed countries.

Among them, mass-produced fried chicken food is the most common, and it is easy to make people fat.

In order to save money, poor people usually buy the cheapest fried chicken food. After a long time, they will naturally gain weight.

Appearance has also expired.

But at least Harry Potter's future looks are guaranteed.

In order to choose suitable actors from childhood to adulthood, Kevin took great pains.

Even the future looks of the actors are taken into consideration.

What we want is for these actors to be able to act from childhood to adulthood, and even to old age.

In this way, Kevin can maximize his benefits.

This is the Harry Potter IP worth tens of billions of dollars. For it, no matter how much energy is spent, it is worth it.

"Yes, I have an idea and I want to discuss it with you."

Kevin's words are polite though.

But this couple, of course, can't really think that Kevin is discussing with them.

The man bowed his waist, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Director Kevin, if you need anything, you can just order it directly."

Kevin said in a negotiating tone:

"I want to discuss with you, change little Bonn's name, keep his surname unchanged, and change his original name to Harry Potter, what do you think?"

"This will allow Little Bonn to better take on this role. You must know that this role is likely to accompany him for the rest of his life."

"Based on my plan, little Bonn can act from the age of ten to the age of 60."

A suddenly realized expression appeared on the man's face, and then he smiled and said:

"Director Kevin is right. Then change it. I call him Harry Potter at home. After the movie is finished, I will take him back to England to change his name."

Kevin nodded, this man is quite clever, which saved Kevin a lot of effort.

"Okay, it's all right, you guys go to rest, and talk to Harry about acting. There are some things that I can't communicate with him directly."

The man nodded, pulled his wife, and walked towards Bonn who was playing.

Obviously, this kind of time is when the plot is not going well, and Kevin is not good at swearing at people directly, so he has to let them communicate.

For $50, that's nothing.

Seeing the figures of the two walking away, Kevin also felt in his heart that it was not in vain for him to pay 50 yuan to these young actors who had never even acted in a play.

First, it is to curb future box office gains.

In the contract, Kevin limited the increase, and at the same time gave a high salary from the beginning, leaving people speechless afterwards.

It is estimated that after filming five to six films, their salary can rise to about 300 million US dollars.

Chapter 251 Iron Man and Ghost Rider Project Approval

In the future, it will take 1000 films to reach [-] million US dollars, and the overall cost control is tight.

And after that, their golden age has passed, and the salary will start to drop instead.

At the same time, other directors generally don't like to use actors with strong character attributes.

It can be said that their whole lives are bound to the characters in Harry Potter.

This is in Kevin's own interest.

After talking about this matter to Harry Potter's parents, Kevin called the parents of the other two main characters and brought up this topic respectively.

Under the lure of high pay, they all agreed to Kevin's request.

After dealing with this matter, Kevin continued to shoot Harry Potter.

····

Time flies for more than a month.

Mitt and Zack Schneider each took their own project proposals and went to the suburbs thirty miles away from Hollywood.

It is also the place where the real scene of Harry Potter built by Kevin.

Came outside a large construction site surrounded by fences.

Mitt found a random place to park, and then came to the gate of the construction site with Schneider.

The two security guards first blocked their way, checked their documents, and then let them enter the construction site.

Excavators and various engineering vehicles passed by along the way.

After about 5 minutes.

The eyes of Mitt and Schneider suddenly brightened.

What appeared in front of them was a magic school like an old English castle.

In front of the school, the two saw all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, weird plants.

Mitt touched it curiously, the feel of the plastic made him understand that these are all props.

Going a step further, there will be guards from the crew to prevent others from entering by mistake.

Mitt revealed his identity, and the staff immediately took them to Kevin's shooting location.

···

After going around the castle, under the leadership of the staff, they came to a hall.

At this time, in the hall, all the extras were in place.

There are students who act as students, and many of them are impromptu guest appearances.

There are also some professional child actors, and most of these child actors play supporting roles with certain roles.

Obviously, what is being filmed at this time is a big group scene.

Mitt and Zack Schneider naturally wouldn't bother Kevin at this time.

Silently outside the blind spot of the camera, waiting for the scene to finish.

This wait is two days.

This group scene was repeated more than [-] times, and the filming was finally completed in the afternoon of the second day.

And just so, after filming such a stressful scene, Kevin gave the crew members a day off to rest.

This is the time to receive the two of them.

In some simple residences similar to containers outside Hogwarts.

The three meet.
