After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

But the set of actions just now, Kevin felt that it was almost meaningless.

What he wanted was the striking effect of the fantasy kung fu in the kung fu movies shot by director Zhou Xingchi.

Chapter 155 Filming in progress

"It's just that the effect of the blow is better, so it needs to cooperate with Shangwei."

Yuan Heping has worked with countless directors, and as soon as Kevin spoke, he realized that everything was different.

The current Hong Kong entertainment industry is popular with a hard bridge and hard horse action, and the slightly more difficult ones are Jackie Chan's funny kung fu scenes.

The others are really not difficult.

When I came to Hollywood, I naturally came with the task of opening up new markets.

Although the request made by Kevin is a bit difficult, it must be realized by him, and there is still a way to solve this problem based on Yuan Heping's experience.

"No problem, you can discuss the specifics with the props, I only want the effect."

Yuan Heping nodded.

During the time when the action scenes were stuck, Kevin continued to shoot literary scenes.

Here, I have to say that Kevin did not know how difficult the shooting of The Matrix was until after the specific shooting.

A lot of shots are very energy-intensive.

Even a passer-by has details.

In order to create the feeling of a virtual world, in The Matrix, passers-by often have the same face. Of course, this effect is actually achieved by the twins acting as extras.

However, there are not so many actors for the twins. For this, Kevin can only find a way to use green screen cutouts.

That is to use special effects to achieve the common use of a few faces by people on the street.

The feeling brought by this, just thinking about it, Kevin knew that it would definitely shock the audience.

Think about it, when the camera flies across the street, the faces of people on the street are exactly the same, and at the same time they are all expressionless, like a group of robots.

In an instant, the feeling of this false world came to the surface.

Again, whether a movie is good or not depends on the sense of substitution.

The more the audience can feel the reality of the world created by the director, the more it will be recognized by the audience, and the box office will naturally not be too bad.

In this way, the filming of The Matrix progressed steadily.

When encountering difficult shooting scenes, Kevin's choice is to put them in the back.

After the simple things are done, go back and conquer them step by step.

In this way, the time came to the end of February [-], and there were only three or four days before the Oscars were held.

...

On Fox's set, Kevin is continuing the filming of the plot.

"Kevin, Kevin!"

Robinov, the president of Warner Bros., ran to Fox's set and called Kevin's name.

Kevin who heard the call raised his horn:

"Everyone take a break."

Then he turned his head and looked at Robinov who was approaching.

Although they are ready to cheat Warner, at least on the surface, everyone is still not tearing their skins.

Kevin is still willing to be superficial friends with Robinov.

Robinov seemed completely unaware that Warner was delaying Kevin's share of income from the Batman Dark Knight. With a smile on his face, he approached Kevin:

"Kevin, I'm here to send you an Oscar invitation."

The Batman Dark Knight was reported to the Oscars by Warner Bros. Therefore, the invitations for the Batman crew and Kevin to participate in the Oscars were sent to Warner.

Robinov's trip, in addition to sending invitations, the biggest purpose is to test what Kevin thinks.

If he really followed what he said and did not allow outsiders to invest, Warner would not target him either.

But after clearly saying that he would not cooperate with others, Kevin secretly cooperated with Fox. This is what made Warner the most angry.

Now, Robinov came here to find Kevin, just to test what Kevin thought.

If you want to make a clear distinction with Warner, then Batman's share will not be so easy to get.

Of course, if Kevin is willing to continue to cooperate with Warner in the next movie, then everyone will still be good friends, and Warner will not cheat him for money.

This is the consensus reached within Warner.

From the bottom of their hearts, everyone wants to continue to cooperate with Kevin. All this persecution is just a condition for Kevin to continue to cooperate with them.

"sorry to bother you."

Kevin accepted the invitation with a smile.

For Oscar's public relations expenses, Kevin did not invest additional funds here, but Warner took the whole package with a wave of his hand.

But this is also normal.

Warner accounted for 70% of the investment, and all the copyrights of Batman, and the Oscars actually had a greater impact on the subsequent income, and had no impact on the box office.

After all, local films that can be selected for Oscars are generally released early.

Therefore, Warner is also investing money for his own income.

Kevin can only receive a little benefit.

"No trouble, just want to ask by the way, how long is it estimated that the film directed by Kevin will be finished?"

Kevin pretended not to know his purpose, and pretended to say:

"It's estimated that the filming will be finished in April. You know, I'm famous for making movies very fast."

"Not only is it fast, but the quality is also high!"

Kevin looked proud, as if he was proud of his film-making speed.

A trace of impatience appeared on Robinov's face.

When Kevin did this, it was like rubbing his IQ on the ground.

He didn't believe that Kevin would not know his purpose.

However, Kevin wasn't the only one who didn't want to tear his face apart completely.

They agree and don't want to tear faces outright.

"So, Kevin, are you short of money for your next movie?"

"There is not much shortage, and the next movie, I plan to be solely owned by Chenxi Film Company."

Kevin was very confident and told Robinov directly that he wanted to invest, but there was no way.

Robinov didn't care about Kevin's words at all, he just sighed and said:

"Batman Dark Knight, this year's share, the theater has a disagreement, and is negotiating with us, and I don't know when we will be able to settle the account."

Robinov almost wrote "I want to card you" on his face.

Facing this kind of behavior, Kevin just smiled lightly and said:

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, take your time."

Hearing Kevin's words, Robinov's face darkened suddenly, and he turned and left without saying anything.

Looking at his back, Kevin just snorted coldly.

When Warner begged him, after the release of The Matrix, let's see if Warner is still crazy.

At that time, if the money is not paid, he will continue to fight Warner to see if they accept it.

Kevin turned his head, looked at the resting crowd, and raised the horn again:

"Starting today, we will be on vacation for three days. After three days, everyone should recover and start working again!"

"Oh!!!"

The audience suddenly cheered.

Although Kevin strictly abides by the eight-hour system, under his high pressure, these eight hours are not allowed to touch fish.

After a few months, everyone's psychological pressure is very huge.

Except for a holiday during Christmas, everyone did not get enough rest at other times.

Now that I suddenly heard the news of the holiday, I was naturally very excited.

Chapter 156 Director Kevin's Happy Daily Life

Everyone else left one after another, even the heroine and Li Jiaxin were sent away by Kevin.

Cage didn't leave. During this time, he drove Kevin's car home every day.

"Oscar?"

"That's right!"

The two said while leaving.

As an industry insider, the rules of the Oscars are still very clear.

For example, it is basically impossible for commercial blockbusters to win the best film award and best director award.

If the public relations are strong enough, or the box office is really high enough to rank among the top ten in the year, then you can try to win some technical awards or supporting role awards.

And in the case of the Batman Dark Knight movie, everyone knows that only one award is well-deserved.

That's Best Supporting Actor, Jim Carrey.

Having said that, Kevin is also very curious about how Cage thinks of Jim Carrey's acting skills.

An actor's acting skills are a very subjective thing. Sometimes, it's hard to say who is superior and who is inferior.

Of course, what this refers to is that within the same grade, there is only a slight gap.

Thinking of this, Kevin asked directly.

"Cage, what do you think of Jim Carrey's acting skills?"

Cage was obviously stunned by the question, and after thinking for a while, he replied:

"He is a genius, an absolute genius. To be specific, he should watch the movie type."

"But I think the biggest difference between him and me is that he has never studied acting."

"From his acting skills, it can be seen that it is the kind of stage-like, exaggerated acting skills. This kind of acting skills can play a very powerful role in comedy, fantasy and other non-realistic movies."

"However, Zhengju, to be honest, he was almost mean."

"After all, I have been deeply influenced by the Coppola family since I was a child. In this regard, he is no match for me."

"But it's also the same. His acting skills really shocked me."

"Ye Luzi can act so well."

After hearing Cage's words, Kevin had a general understanding of Jim Carrey's acting skills.

Genius, Wild Road, King of Comedy, these are the labels owned by Jim Carrey.

In his field of expertise, he is one of the best actors.

However, it may be due to the lack of systematic practice and training. In terms of drama, compared with top actors like Cage, he is still quite inferior.

"In this way, two days later, your Oscar for Best Actor and his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor should not be too much of a surprise."

"It seems so."

Cage said confidently.

.....

"Baby Helen, baby Emma, ​​do you miss me?"
