The first time I heard this name, Kevin was still from Crayon Shin-chan.
As a well-known actress in Japan in the 90s, she is quite well-known, and of course, it also fits Kevin's aesthetic cognition.
She seems to be young this year, she just came of age?
However, Kevin has the impression that Ryoko Hirosue entered the Japanese entertainment circle very early, it seems that she entered the entertainment circle at the age of 16.
And later went to Waseda University.
Not just a vase.
After giving instructions on this matter, Iwata Satoru took his subordinates and left here temporarily.
The bodyguard was also arranged by Kevin to eat in the next room.
There were only two people left in the room.
"Can you speak English?"
Hirosue Ryoko nodded.
As an actress that the firm valued more, the firm still respects her opinion on things like accompanying wine.
Hirosue Ryoko's current achievements in the entertainment industry are very good. In the future, she will most likely become the firm's cash cow. Even in the cruel entertainment industry, they will not be so short-sighted.
This time, after the office told her who the person she was going to accompany was, she volunteered to come over.
Steve Kevin's name is like a thunderbolt.
And his lace news is also countless, but his reputation in the circle has always been good.
We all know that although Steve Kevin is bothered, he is also very generous, but all the women who are suspected of having an affair with him have been rewarded with promises.
Worst of all, they are now second-tier actors in Hollywood, and their salaries are calculated in millions of dollars.
I don't know how many actresses there are, and they have no chance to be with Steve Kevin.
Now I finally have the opportunity to catch this line, although it may not be liked, but just in case!
If you can get a chance to star in a blockbuster movie from Steve Kevin, even if it's the second female lead, the third female lead, or even the fourth female lead.
After the filming is finished and the film is released, I will return to Japan.
She will be able to go from being a newcomer in the entertainment circle to becoming a well-known actress in the circle in no time.
This is an absolute shortcut.
Of course, she has another advantage, that is, her English is good.
That's the most important point.
Otherwise, the language barrier will naturally miss the opportunity.
"Did you want to come this time, or was it forced?"
Kevin never plays forced.
He follows the principle of voluntariness.
Both of you love me.
Hirosue Ryoko whispered:
"I came here voluntarily!"
"Okay, what do you want from me."
Kevin directly regards this as a deal between the two parties, depending on what Ryoko Hirosue wants, but an ambitious woman, Kevin knows what she wants.
"I hope to play a role in your movie!"
"The female number three who played the third most roles, no matter how many, with your identity, you can't play."
Kevin is very straightforward, in fact, he doesn't care about the heroine.
However, Hollywood currently does not allow non-white people to play roles above the second female lead.
Although this has not been said on the bright side, if you look closely at the works of Hollywood in this era, almost all of them are like this.
It's not that there is no need to go against the trend and find a black man or someone else to be the heroine, but without exception, none of them have achieved good box office results.
Basically money-losing goods.
This is related to the current national conditions in the United States, and the general environment is like this.
"If I can get such a role, I can't thank you enough!"
Hirosue Ryoko lowered her head and replied respectfully with a slight smile.
Kevin smiled slightly and just motioned for her to pour the wine.
Now that the two sides reached an agreement, the next thing happened naturally.
Kevin has never been an honest man, but he has never realized that there are any honest men in the entertainment industry.
In the mainland entertainment circle in his previous life, one after another with a very good image, the houses collapsed one after another, which made him dumbfounded a long time ago.
As an industry insider, he knows more black material.
In short, the global entertainment industry looks the same.
As long as you like it, Kevin never feels that there is anything wrong with this kind of thing.
Next, Kevin experimented with various moves one by one in the scene of the hot spring hotel according to the action movies in his previous life memory.

The next day.
Inside Nintendo.
A discussion about the purchase of copyright by Steve Kevin began.
A middle-aged executive who was as thin as a bamboo pole with sunken cheeks expressed his opinion.
"I don't agree to sell the copyright to Steve Kevin, Yankees, there must be some conspiracy, we can't be fooled by them."
From the words, one can see his hostility towards the Americans.
On the other side, an old man with gray hair also spoke:
"I agree with him that we absolutely cannot sell copyright to Americans."
"They must have been upset."
"..."
More than a dozen executives present, at least half of them, expressed their objections.
Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president sitting at the front, remained silent, silently watching other people's objections.
When the noise was almost over, Hiroshi Yamauchi signaled to be quiet, then turned to look at Satoshi Iwata and said:
"You tell me your opinion."
Iwata is smart, and this is a test for him.
As a candidate for the next president, he is not the only candidate, but he is currently the most popular candidate.
Therefore, he has been undergoing various tests.
Iwata Satoru nodded, coughed a bit, then raised his head and said:
"Everyone, my suggestion is to sell this copyright to him, but we have to participate in this movie as investors."
"Look, everyone."
While talking, Iwata Satoru sent the production cost and profit data of Steve Kevin's various movies that he collected through various channels last night to the many executives present one by one. .
The executives took the documents and looked at them.
Centuries-old companies in Japan often have many senior executives who are not capable of accepting new knowledge. For Steve Kevin, they only know him as a great director.
They don't know much about specific things.
It is also impossible to expect executives in their 50s and [-]s to have the time and leisure to go to the cinema to watch commercial films such as The Matrix and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Iwata Satoru continued:
"From these statistics, Steve Kevin is a very, very good director. So far, he has never lost money on any of the films he has shot."
"The profit margin is even more frighteningly high. If we can participate in the investment of his new movie, it is almost equivalent to giving us money."
"You must know that our Nintendo profit last year was only tens of millions of dollars."
Chapter 271 Acquisition of Copyright
"If we can invest in a new Steve Kevin movie, let's invest $3000 million."
"Less talk can bring us a minimum profit of tens of millions of dollars."
The executives didn't reply for a while, they just looked at the data one by one, and the more they looked, the more incredible they felt.
Nintendo can be regarded as an industrial company. With their scale, they are one of the best game companies in Japan. Even so, their annual profit is only 4000 to [-] million US dollars.
And that's actually pretty high.
But Steve Kevin makes a movie casually, and the profit will take them Nintendo for several years.
To put it bluntly, Steve Kevin can buy them Nintendo by paying casually.
This can't help but make people amazing.
Faced with such a Steve Kevin, the attitude of the people present softened immediately.
If the investment can be obtained, it seems that it is not impossible to sell the copyright. You know, this is a profit of tens of millions of dollars.
Nintendo has a lot of copyrights, and although Pokémon is important, it is not unique.
"If the investment amount can be obtained, I think it can be considered for sale."
The executive who was firmly against it just now changed his face instantly.
The series of data presented by Satoru Iwata are too frightening, and these data fully illustrate what kind of legend Steve Kevin is.
The other executives who originally opposed were also speechless.
Seeing that everyone was convinced by him, Satoru Iwata continued:
"And not only that, after these movies are released, their influence is also huge. I think they can greatly drive the sales of our games in the United States."
"Help us develop the US market!"
This series of well-founded speeches by Satoru Iwata successfully convinced everyone present.
Hiroshi Yamauchi on the side also suddenly said:
"Iwata, do you have the confidence to fight for the best conditions for Nintendo and guarantee the profits in the later stage?"
"If it can be guaranteed, the position of the next president will be handed over to you."
Satoru Iwata immediately understood that this matter was his final test as president. If he cooperates with Steve Kevin this time, it can bring tens of millions of dollars in profits to Nintendo.
Then he may be able to take office directly after the fact.
Iwata Satoru held back his excitement, and said firmly:
"Yes, I can guarantee that I am willing to take responsibility for this matter."
Although there are certain risks, according to Steve Kevin's resume, the risk factor is really not high.
All of his previous films were successful at the box office by word of mouth.
Even if a new movie hits the street, the box office will not be too low.
Because his current appeal is still there, and he has not disappointed fans.
At least two or three times after word of mouth collapsed, the prestige he had accumulated before might lose its effect.
This is the conclusion he came to from a professional filmmaker.
In short, cooperation is to make money.
This is the final conclusion he draws from various evidences.
"Then I will leave it to you to take full responsibility for this matter. The copyright can be sold cheaper, but we need more investment."
