After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

....

"Batman Dark Knight, a must-see superhero movie, no, I think he is more than just a superhero movie, forgive me for being incoherent, in short, highly recommended to watch."

"By the way, I love Steve Kevin, every one of his movies is my favorite."

"..."

Looking at the words on the forum, Kevin's face blossomed with joy.

As for whether it's real or MGM's PR, it doesn't matter.

While Kevin was waiting for the meal, he was drinking the forum.

Ellie's phone called.

"BOSS, Johnny Depp's agent hinted to us that we must increase Johnny Depp's salary, otherwise, Johnny Depp will refuse to star in Pirates of the Caribbean 2."

On the other end of the phone, Ellie told Kevin the bad news.

"I know, leave this to me, you don't have to worry about it, prepare other things for the Pirates of the Caribbean first."

Kevin ordered calmly.

After hanging up the phone, Kevin's face showed anger.

Sometimes contracts are not everything.

Although the incremental conditions of five million dollars are set, people will never meet them.

He can't directly say not to act, but he said that he is not feeling well, and from the perspective of the contract, it is indeed difficult for him to force the other party to appear in the movie.

However, I really thought he had no choice.

Kevin took out the phone number of the fierce female reporter who had left at the premiere from his bag, sent a message, and arranged a time and place to meet.

After getting the exact reply, he picked up the meals that the housekeeper in this area had placed at the door of the villa.

As for the money, Kevin had already reserved tens of thousands of dollars in that Chinese restaurant for consumption at any time.

After sharing this big meal with sister Helen Emma, ​​I worked out for myself for an afternoon in the gym.

Kevin came to the hotel where he had an appointment with the female reporter.

After spending a night with the female reporter, Kevin told the female reporter that he was going to be the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This completes the transaction for both parties.

......

The next day, in the New York Daily, a piece of news attracted the attention of countless people.

"Suspected because Johnny Depp claimed to be unwell, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was about to start filming, director Steve Kevin had to decide to find a new actor to play Captain Jack Sparrow."

As soon as this news was published by the New York Daily, it immediately attracted a lot of heated discussions.

Big newspapers like the New York Daily are not allowed to report news of unknown origin. Once it is published, it means that there is a high probability that something happened.

At least, Steve Kevin must be looking for a new actor.

The appearance of this news immediately caused countless actors who felt they had a chance to send their resumes to MGM and Chenxi Films.

And the morning light film company released the news that it is indeed investigating the new actor of Captain Jack Sparrow...

-------------------------------------

Waking up from drunkenness, Johnny Depp received a message from his agent.

"Depp, today's New York Daily published a statement from Steve Kevin that he's going to cast the new Captain Jack Sparrow directly instead of paying you more..."

Caitlin was visibly flustered.

Neither she nor Johnny Depp expected Steve Kevin's reaction to be so strong.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be a bargaining process?

Maybe in the end, there will be an extra $1 million or 2 million, and maybe the deal will be done.

Steve Kevin, what does this mean, just flip the table?

There is no reason to negotiate like this.

Johnny Depp, who comforted himself in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and then said:

"Don't worry, you can help me invite Director Steve Kevin, and say I want to invite him to a meal, in the villa of Nicholas Kevin, let's have a barbecue party."

Speaking of which, Johnny Depp was also a little annoyed in his heart.

Being greedy for a while, it seemed to anger Steve Kevin a bit.

Until this time, he didn't know what a tough director Steve Kevin was.

After Caitlin got the order, she sent an invitation to Chenxi Film Company.

After getting the exact reply from Steve Kevin, the two were relieved after having dinner three days later, but seeing the morning light company, it seemed that they did not stop looking for a replacement for Jack Sparrow.

The heart that hangs in the throat can't fall at all.

...

Inside Dawn Films.

Kevin didn't take this matter to heart at all, just pretending, Johnny Depp backed down, which made him feel a little boring.

But think about it.

Kevin is more or less a capital now, and Jack Sparrow has only just become popular, and his foundation is unstable.

The two are not on the same level.

There is absolutely no need for him to take Johnny Depp too seriously.

However, the guests who came today are a bit interesting.

In the office, Kevin looked at the three bald men from the San Fernando Valley in front of him, and when he learned of their intentions, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Chapter 127 The Dusty "Gold Mine"

The San Fernando Valley, a mecca for the production of spiritual solace for American adults, is rarely mentioned in public.

But their annual economic effect is as high as four billion.

And the annual output value of Hollywood is tens of billions.

As things stand, the San Fernando Valley is a small adult version of Hollywood.

It's just that the San Fernando Valley belongs to gray production, and its social status and evaluation are not high.

After all, the actresses among them are not so easy to find, and many of them are persecuted by gang members through various means.

And these three people belong to a relatively large-scale film company in the San Fernando Valley.

The name may be unfamiliar to everyone, it is called the Heavenly Kingdom Film Company.

However, many people should be familiar with the works. The famous Blonde Heaven series is what they produced.

In order to produce better works, they also went to Japan to invite professional directors.

to make better movies.

And now, they have a better pursuit.

That is, directly making special editions of those big-selling movies.

For example, Pirates of the Caribbean, they can come to a different Pirates of the Caribbean, different actors, different plots.

The best thing is that even if the shooting is average, they are often not chased and scolded.

After all, their focus is still on action, and the plot is secondary.

As long as the actresses are beautiful and their bodies are good enough, male audiences can actually tolerate these aspects.

As for the plot, a little embellishment will do.

That way, they can differentiate themselves from other San Fernando Valley filmmakers.

At the same time, this is also a new attempt by their company.

Of course, there are ways to buy copyrights when you buy copyrights, and there are ways to not buy copyrights when you don't buy copyrights.

For example, the Tarzan series is a typical copyright-free gameplay, but others can't sue them. It can't be said that Tarzan in Tarzan doesn't wear clothes.

In their films, male actors can't use the same plot without wearing clothes.

It's just that you can't use this name to publicize it openly.

...

Looking at the three people in front of him, Kevin confirmed again:

"You're going to buy out the rights to the 18-year-old version of Pirates of the Caribbean for $10 million?"

The three nodded in succession.

Kevin hesitated for a while, then said:

"The copyright can be given to you, no problem."

"But I'm curious why you have to pay such a high price to buy the copyright."

"You know, other studios in the San Fernando Valley are notorious for that."

Among the three, the pudgy, squat, wretched man in the middle rubbed his hands and said righteously:

"We are different from them. Our heavenly film company wants to develop in a normalized manner and take the road of high-level taste and high-level aesthetics."

"They don't care about copyright, we can't."

Kevin rubbed his chin, thinking about it in his heart.

He didn't believe what these **** said, who would put money aside and not make any money, and make a good copyright, unless this behavior can make more money for them.

However, in that respect, it is not an industry that Kevin can reach.

In the future, station P, it seems that Kevin can also get a hand.

These people from the San Fernando Valley can get acquainted first.

These resources are also a very important part of developing the P station.

"That's fine, but I'd like to know how you sell and shoot your movies now."

"I'm also curious about these businesses."

Kevin's face, I just want to know what the inside story of the industry looks like.

Let the three bald men show a wretched smile on their faces.

The San Fernando Valley is a sacred place for American men, and there should not be too many people who want to know the inside story.

Even Steve Kevin, the famous director, is still a man after all.

The short, fat, bald man headed among them introduced him proudly.

...

Movies in the San Fernando Valley are obviously not suitable for the big screen, in this era when the Internet speed is not enough to support video playback smoothly.

The most important sales method is DVD sales.

All kinds of DVD shops, video rental shops, newspapers and magazines on the street are all their sales channels.

On the other hand, they will also develop downlines in American higher education schools to help them sell DVDs.

Although it is not as fast as the big screen, the income is continuous and very stable.

Eighteen-year-old boys can only understand what they understand.

DVDs of these things sell much better than Pirates of the Caribbean DVDs.

The only problem is that it probably won't last as long as Pirates of the Caribbean.

After all, men always like the new and hate the old.

Listening to the three of you, and my introduction.

Kevin chimed in:
