After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

"Of course, leave a few roles for ourselves. Specifically, you let them choose. After choosing, the rest will be released."

In addition to the male protagonist, Nicholas Cage was chosen by default, and Kevin did not think about other candidates.

Originally, he was going to give the heroine to Julie or Hayek, but because the Matrix was a sudden plan, none of the three of them had a schedule.

No way, Kevin can only be cheaper than others.

Of course, the contracted artists of my company, although there are no big roles.

However, Kevin did not treat them badly. In the previous films, he gave them supporting roles of varying roles.

It is guaranteed that they have at least a familiar face in the industry.

Even if he is not in Chenxi Film Company in the future, with these qualifications, it is not difficult to make a living in Hollywood.

"Don't worry, leave these things to me."

Having been the president for several years, Dawson has reached the pinnacle of his life by virtue of the golden name of Kevin.

The president is also getting better and better.

Anyway, all the development routes are guided by Kevin, and he will just do things step by step.

Hundreds of thousands of annual salary, plus dividends.

It is now approaching a million pre-tax income a year.

Properly wealthy class.

His family status has also become much higher now.

All of this makes Dawson happy for his choice.

Kevin nodded.

Although Dawson does not have the ability to develop, he is quite qualified as a tool person, which helps him get rid of heavy things.

It is enough to grasp the specific development path of the company.

After arranging these things, Kevin left the company again.

It was finally over, his pair of canaries were already in place in the villa.

･･･

There are no secrets in Hollywood.

Kevin just negotiated with Fox.

The news leaked immediately.

Some film companies that have no business dealings with Kevin can only watch with envy and jealousy as a Fox company cooperates with Kevin to make money.

Only greedy.

Chapter 142 Cage: "Can I support the box office?"

But there was another murmur within MGM and Warner Bros.

MGM, as one of Kevin's properties, was quite dissatisfied that Steve Kevin only gave them the right to invest in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, and the new movie did not have the right to invest in them.

The middle- and lower-level employees all muttered to themselves.

But the top management is still as stable as Mount Tai, they are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Kevin to acquire MGM.

On the other hand, Warner's side has a big opinion.

For a long time, Steve Kevin and Warner Bros. have been very happy to cooperate, so Warner Bros. has not been involved in Steve Kevin's salary and subsequent income.

You know, this kind of behavior is rare in Hollywood.

Unless it's a partnership between two large, peer-to-peer companies.

Otherwise, it is not uncommon for the director's share of income and box office to be deceived.

But now, Kai Wenming is not ready to continue to cooperate with Warner.

This···

There is an opinion gradually emerging among Warners, that is, the arrears of the investment share of the Batman series, as well as the follow-up income, no matter how to look at the specific attitude of Steve Kevin, and then decide how to arrange this part of the income.

Outside, Batman's influence under the Dark Knight is growing.

Influenced by Batman's Dark Knight, some fanatical fans have dressed up as Batman or The Joker to watch the movie.

Make Batman The Dark Knight's box office more durable.

Not only that, but also pushed countless people to buy DVDs on The Dark Knight of Batman, driving the follow-up income on The Dark Knight of Batman.

However, these have little to do with Kevin. His contribution to the box office has already done what he can do.

The next thing is Warner Bros.

At this time, in his villa, Kevin and Cage were enjoying the coolness of the swimming pool.

.....

"Cage, you just left Las Vegas, when is it set?"

Cage lay lazily in the pool, taking some food from the tray floating on the pool from time to time and throwing it into his mouth.

It's September and the weather is still hot, and the cool swimming pool is the perfect way to cool off.

Hearing Kevin's words, he said lazily.

"It's none of my business. As an actor, my responsibility is to play the movie well. As for the rest, it's up to the director and the film company."

..

"Kevin, open your mouth."

Hearing Helen's words, Kevin opened his mouth.

Helen dialed an orange and fed it into Kevin's mouth.

"Hmm~, yes, it's quite sweet."

Leaning by the pool, Kevin took a bite of Helen's peeled orange, and then answered:

"The plan has changed. Now I have a commercial blockbuster, and I lack a leading actor. Do you want to come?"

Invitation for the lead actor in Steve Kevin's new film.

If this news is released, any actor will be crazy about it.

If Chainsaw and Escape are still popular, then Mission Impossible, Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman The Dark Knight are first-class movies.

Pirates of the Caribbean made Johnny Depp, who was originally only a second-tier and a poorer group in the second-tier, leap into a superstar.

Although it is only a series superstar, it still makes countless actors' eyes red with envy.

If Steve Kevin wants to unspoken rules, I don't know how many people are willing to take the initiative to come to the door.

And Mission Impossible is equally powerful. Tom Cruise, who is already very popular, has taken it to the next level through Mission Impossible.

As for the Batman Dark Knight, it's even more exaggerated.

Jim Carrey, who was originally considered to be just the king of comedy, has been recognized by the public through his interpretation of the clown.

It is now a widely recognized acting school, and this layer of cognition has made Jim Carrey completely on the throne of the Uranus superstar.

Now, no matter what film company invites him to make a movie, the salary starts at 20 million, and even the box office share is added.

In terms of status, it is already the top ten in Hollywood popularity.

And it is also the only comedy-based superstar, completely breaking through the existence of people's discrimination against comedy.

His position among comedians is even more direct.

The most direct manifestation is that those comedians are no longer jealous or ridiculed when they mention Jim Carrey in jokes or talk shows.

Instead, it's envy and pride in Jim Carrey.

This means that Jim Carrey has transcended the realm of ordinary comedians.

Not to mention Christian Bale.

A third-tier star has become a first-tier star.

The Dark Knight of Batman has not yet been released, and countless film appointments have already come to the door.

The salary he was quoted was a low $8 million.

The highest even reached 15 million US dollars.

Christian Bale, once again tasted the taste of popularity.

And Milla Jovovich, too, needless to say.

From a third-tier Chinese actress who has no name in China, she has become a Hollywood first-tier actress.

Of course, in this era of Hollywood, the status of female stars and male stars is very different.

Christian Bale's salary varies between $8 million and $15 million.

And hers is only five to eight million dollars.

The same as first-line movie stars, the remuneration is very different.

But Milla Jovovich is already very satisfied. That's it, so many Hollywood actresses can't be envied.

In the face of Kevin's invitation, even Nicolas Cage could not refuse.

Among Hollywood, follow an eternal principle, that is, commercial films come first.

Don't look at the art that Hollywood is boasting about. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that many of them cannot receive commercial blockbusters, so they accept art films.

Including the Oscars, it is also because of its huge effect on DVD sales that it has been praised by filmmakers to its current status.

The Oscars are useless if the audience doesn't buy it.

Nicolas Cage, although he likes the kind of movie characters with complex and three-dimensional characters in his heart, but if a commercial blockbuster is looking for him, he will not refuse.

He needs money.

Just by looking at the messy collection in his villa, you can see how much he can spend.

Kevin understands this very well.

Nicolas Cage, a complete collector, has a lot of hobbies, such as dinosaur skull fossils, luxury cars, jewelry, works of art, airplanes, yachts, castles, and small islands.

These things, in addition to all kinds of strange things, have one thing in common.

That is expensive.

Ninety percent of Cage's remuneration was invested here by him.

"Come."

"However, if I'm the leading actor, can I support the box office?"

If it were another director, Cage would of course be very confident.

Currently in the art film market, he is still very popular.

In addition, the cost of art films is not high, and often he can make the film recover the cost or even make a small profit.

But the real commercial blockbuster, Kevin's invitation is the first time.

He was worried that he would not be able to support the box office of Kevin's films.

Chapter 143 Jennifer Connelly

Kevin laughed.

Of course he understood what Cage meant. He was afraid that he would screw up the performance and let Kevin's unbeaten reputation at the box office be lost in his hands.

As a friend, Cage was embarrassed.

But for this, Steve Kevin is more confident than Cage.

Although this time Nicolas Cage has yet to prove his box office appeal by playing big-budget commercial films.

But Kevin knew.
