After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

But the beauty of the mountains and mountains, few Americans have seen.

As far as the United States is concerned at this time, there is basically no pressure to travel to the mainland. For any American with a formal job, a few trips a year are more than enough.

Kevin can even imagine, as long as the photos are taken well, what kind of travel wave will be set off by then.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to the Internet celebrity attractions of later generations.

A big-budget movie like Kevin can turn any location into an internet celebrity attraction.

The town of Pirates of the Caribbean is still bringing in considerable income for Dawn Films every year.

Judging from the pace of filming the sequels of Pirates of the Caribbean, there is no problem in eating for 30 to [-] years, and it will have a huge impact on local employment and the economy.

It can be said that the live-action shooting is the biggest factor that Kevin has the confidence to make Tsui Hark's new movie popular in the United States.

Kevin expressed concern about Tsui Hark's ability to tell stories.

But for his aesthetic, Kevin still trusts.

However, a suitable producer is still needed, and I will leave this to Ellie.

Kevin is also afraid that Tsui Hark will let go of himself directly. It is still necessary for a producer to grasp the overall situation.

"Listen to you."

Kevin has already said that it will be promoted step by step, so Tsui Hark will naturally not be stubborn.

After all, in terms of status and status, Tsui Hark could not be ranked in front of Kevin.

If he doesn't want to make this movie, there will probably be a long queue of directors who want to succeed him.

Let him give up, it is really reluctant.

After listening to Tsui Hark's words, Kevin nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, Chenxi Film Company has quite a lot of projects this year.

Tsui Hark's new film, Rush Hour, is untitled, and Kevin is filming The Matrix.

At the same time, there will be a new Spider-Man series after that.

It can be said that the whole company is busy.

After arranging these things and the next things for Tsui Hark and Jackie Chan.

Kevin is on track again.

Of course, the Rush Hour script, Kevin took the time to write it.

At the same time, Kevin did not invite Jim Carrey in his own name, but asked Chenxi Film Company to send a movie invitation to Jim Carrey.

In this case, Kevin is definitely unwilling to use favors, between friends.

Sometimes the best way to get along is to distinguish between public and private.

And Jim Carrey also quickly replied, willing to accept the film contract of Chenxi Film Company.

At the same time, an interview time was agreed.

After taking some time to take a look at their scene in person, after confirming that although Jim Carrey can steal the show, he still can't hide Jackie Chan's characteristics.

That's when Kevin asked them to start preparing for the Rush Hour crew.

As for the investor, there is only one, and that is Chenxi Film Company.

It is impossible for Kevin to hand over 100% profitable projects to other people.

Chapter 167 The Matrix Filming Completed

The rush hour was arranged, and Kevin once again concentrated on the Matrix.

Several stunt shots, which are very difficult for current Hollywood, were solved one by one under Kevin's experience.

This is thanks to the fact that he was reborn from later generations, and some difficult scenes for the current movie have been solved in later generations.

In this way, the time came to mid-April.

After nearly half a year, except for some special effects shots that still need to be polished, the filming of The Matrix is ​​finally over.

After shooting the last shot, Kevin decisively raised his hand to stop work.

After the crew stopped running, Kevin raised the horn in his hand:

"I declare that the Matrix is ​​officially completed today!"

Cheers immediately sounded from below.

Working with Steve Kevin was really stressful, and they were already waiting for the Matrix to go on a good vacation after the end.

Of course, this is also one of the benefits of the company.

As a crew member who has signed a contract with Chenxi Films, after shooting a movie, he usually has a vacation of about one week to half a month.

"In order to commend everyone for their hard work during the period of cooperation with me, I have already decided to hold a grand party in the hotel, and the assistant director will take everyone there later."

"Everyone, have fun and relax."

Grand cheers and words of praise for Kevin broke out again in the arena.

Then, under the leadership of the assistant director, one by one got into the car and headed to the hotel.

For a while, there were only a few people who cleaned the venue, Li Jiaxin, Jennifer Connelly and Nicolas Cage.

Looking at the expressions of Li Jiaxin and Jennifer Connelly, Cage immediately said:

"Kevin, I suddenly remembered something. My girlfriend is looking for me, so I'm leaving first."

After all, he left in a hurry.

He was planning to go play with Kevin, but this kind of scene is definitely not the time.

Li Jiaxin stepped forward, her eyes seemed to ask whether she wanted her or Jennifer Connelly.

During filming, Kevin didn't accompany the two women well.

Jennifer Connelly also came over, brushed her hair, and looked at Li Jiaxin unconvinced.

Facing this kind of situation, I am afraid that no woman will be convinced.

In this kind of Shura field, Kevin has only one movement, hugging the two people one by one in each hand, and taking them all to the hotel.

Have a good night.

···········

On the top floor of the five-star hotel, Kevin rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up sleepily.

The two women around him have already left.

Jennifer Connelly, taking the opportunity of appearing in Kevin's new movie, was sent film appointments in advance by many film companies. She just wanted to gamble that Kevin's new movie was a big hit.

She jumped up.

Inviting in advance now, can pay a lot less salary.

Therefore, the filming had just ended, and at the request of her agent, she went to her agency to choose a suitable movie to take on.

On Li Jiaxin's side, she directly bought a flight ticket to Hong Kong and went back.

I have been in the United States for several months, and if I don’t go back, Hong Kong will forget about her.

Now go back and start marketing in advance, and after the release of The Matrix, she must play the role of her role as a supporting actress in the Matrix to the fullest.

So, after a night of fun, the two women got up early and left here.

Standing in front of the window sill, looking down, watching ordinary people walking on the street.

Endless emotion rose in Kevin's heart.

The hotel where he is staying now costs half a year's wages for an ordinary migrant worker for one night.

In American society, ordinary people are like batches of leeks, slaughtered by various kinds.

Fortunately, after being reborn here, he got off to a good start, otherwise, if he transmigrated into the body of an ordinary person or a tramp, no matter how powerful he is, it would be difficult to turn over.

Get dressed and eat a seafood dinner.

Kevin then went to Chenxi Film Company.

Today, Chenxi Film Company has rented out the fourth floor of this high-rise building, and in this way, it can barely meet the venue needs of Chenxi Film Company.

In the spacious editing room in the company, an editor who signed a contract with Chenxi Film Company was waiting in the room.

The work of editing is not so easy.

In order to share the work, an editor is still necessary.

He can help Kevin edit the shots he wants according to Kevin's requirements, and such an editor does not need any high skills.

To be able to understand what Kevin meant, just be a qualified craftsman.

After a few simple instructions, Kevin plunged into the editing room and started editing.

At the same time, Dawson also started negotiations with the theater side.

Agree on the specific number and number of openings, as well as the premiere time.

.....

Los Angeles Studios, as the largest theater chains, faced the general film companies, they are all superior Party A occupying an absolute advantage.

However, if it is a film company that has produced blockbusters one after another, their attitude can become very humble.

In the final analysis, the owner of the theater chain has an absolute advantage.

But the usual manager, theater manager, is just a worker.

There are also performance reviews.

And whether he can stably give those movies that can get high box office the largest number of screenings and the most screening halls is his task as a theater manager.

At this time, in the manager's office in the cinema.

Dawson is negotiating with Jack, the theater manager at the Grand Studios in Los Angeles, about the premiere schedule.

This will be the premiere location of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and The Matrix, so Dawson came here to negotiate in person. As for the cinemas in other places, other employees of Dawn Films will negotiate.

Dawson looked at the Mediterranean man in a suit and leather shoes sitting on the sofa in front of him, and put forward his request calmly.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2, the premiere date must be on May [-]th, and at the same time, you must ensure that there are more than [-] screenings per day."

"If this requirement is met, you can have as many copies of The Matrix as you want."

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Jack's face.

He's not a fool, Dawson set the time on May [-]th when he opened his mouth.

And there is only one movie to be released on May [-], and that is Tornado Storm, a joint investment of Warner and Universal Pictures.

The meaning is obvious. For some unknown reason, Chenxi Films wants to confront Warner or Universal head-on.

But Tornado is also a big production.

Such a collision between two films will not only be of no benefit to the film company, but also a lot of box office losses for their theaters.

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to suggest that Dawson choose another schedule.

But if he had to choose between the two, then his choice tended to be Pirates of the Caribbean.

After all, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is a guaranteed money-making business.

Chapter 168 Strong Negotiation

There is almost no possibility of losing money.

That alone is fine, the Matrix behind it is the mainstay.

Steve Kevin's golden signature is currently unique in Hollywood.

He has never missed a shot, and every movie he has made is a box office hit.

Batman and The Dark Knight have made their theaters make money.

Such a promise.
