Chapter 302 Filming

It also has a website like Station B that can create Internet celebrities and self-media.

The conversation was almost over. After Kevin ordered someone to arrange a residence for Zhang Yimou, he called Ryoko Hirosue's office in Japan and asked them to arrange for Ryoko Hirosue to come to the United States to play the female number three.

This can be regarded as Kevin's fulfillment of his promise.

·····

Time flies, three days later.

With a large group of crew members, and Zhang Yimou as the assistant director of photography, a group of people rushed to the MGM set.

In the movie Fast and Furious, the scene is divided into two parts, one part is filmed on the set, through post-production, and part of the real scene.

There is also a small part of the outing scene.

Speaking of this, in fact, since Pirates of the Caribbean, Kevin has become more and more inclined to film under the green screen.

No way, if you go out, just organizing these people to do things is already very tiring.

There is also coordination with official organizations everywhere.

Compared with these things, Kevin prefers to reduce these troubles through green screen.

Of course, there is a bigger reason for shooting this way, which is actually faster.

Putting aside these dealings with people, all the scenes are done on the set.

Then three to four months are actually enough to finish filming the literary drama, and Kevin is going to put more work on post-production.

Of course, the real car crash scene is indispensable.

In this regard, Kevin bought more than a dozen new cars from Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, and also bought a bunch of scrapped cars from scrap yards.

These are used as models to complete the collision scene with the help of special effects.

After arranging the layout of the scene and Kevin arranging things for each other, he called the four main members of the crew over.

Johnson, under Kevin's instructions, shaved off his hair, made a bald look, and then practiced a little stronger according to Kevin's request.

In the matter of expressionlessness, it looks very scary, a typical appearance of a black boss.

But when he smiled in front of people he was familiar with, he looked like a silly big guy again.

This kind of person, in Kevin's opinion, is born to eat the rice bowl of an actor.

He can perfectly control a variety of roles, from comedy to villain.

Cruise was originally planning to play a supporting role, but Kevin was very generous and gave him the treatment of a double protagonist. For Kevin, he was somewhat grateful.

But looking at Kevin's appearance, it was hard for him not to have any thoughts in his mind.

Back then, when he met Kevin, Kevin had just become famous and was a well-known director.

Up to now, in just five or six years, Kevin's status has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has become a billionaire worth tens of billions in one fell swoop.

He reads newspapers every day, and in the newspapers, there are countless people doing various analyzes on Kevin's net worth and wealth every day.

Chasing Kevin's heat.

He also indirectly learned about Kevin's current worth, and MGM alone is worth 40 billion.

It is no exaggeration to say that tens of billions are counted if you include Chenxi Movies and Marvel.

And Cruise, who has been working hard for so many years, only has [-] million US dollars, excluding taxes and fees, in fact, his net worth is only tens of millions of dollars.

Compared with ordinary people, this net worth is naturally very exaggerated.

But compared with Kevin, that is a hundred times the gap, how could this make people not feel admirable.

Secondly, there are two vases corresponding to the two male protagonists, one is Cruise's wife Nicole Kidman, and the other is Anne Hathaway, Kevin's new acquaintance.

"You guys have to play against each other here first, and adjust your relationship with each other. Next, you will be very busy."

"My plan is that this movie should catch up with this year's summer vacation. If it's early, it will be released in June, and if it's late, it will be in August."

Kevin's face was expressionless, and the ugliness was at the front.

Kevin's style has long been heard in the industry. They have long heard of actors who are used improperly and rushed to work crazily.

None of the people present had an opinion.

In order to be famous, in order to become a big star, this little effort is nothing.

"I have no problem. I promise that I won't rest even once."

Johnson was the first to speak.

As a newcomer, he ascended to the sky in one step and became one of the two protagonists in Steve Kevin's movie. At this time, his mood was similar to winning a lottery.

Not to mention not resting for half a year, even if it is not resting for three years, he is willing.

Johnson has expressed his position, and others have also expressed their willingness to cooperate with Kevin throughout the process.

After expressing his attitude of disapproval on the set with a high profile, Kevin began to enter the state of filming.

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

Time flies, and the United States entered 1998 from 1999.

At the beginning of the year, certain accidents occurred between the United States and the mainland, which caused a slight tension in the relationship between the two parties.

However, under the premise that the general direction is friendly, this turmoil quickly disappeared.

Little Plum Leonardo's plan to be the leading actor in Kevin's movie failed after all.

There is no way, among the movies Kevin has shot, so far, there is really no suitable role for him.

Kevin thought over and over again, but still didn't plan to use him.

Therefore, until May 1999, Xiao Lizi was still in a state of doing nothing.

On the other hand, Chenxi Films' TV drama business is developing like a raging fire.

Thanks to the feedback of the film.

TV series such as Marvel and Pirates of the Caribbean have achieved very good results.

Chenxi Films is getting more and more money from HBO TV station.

However, in this case, Chenxi Movie, or Kevin himself is not quite satisfied with this situation.

For this reason, Kevin asked Dawson to pay attention to the current situation of some TV stations.

See if there is any TV station that is not well managed and wants to sell itself.

Kevin wants to take over.

Under such an arrangement.

Fast and Furious has finished filming, and when Kevin was in post-production, Dawson notified Kevin that the TV station was going to sell himself.

Kevin quickly put down what he was doing and went to the TV station for specific discussions.

As a media giant, generally speaking, there are TV stations as the cards and content output terminals.

Among them, some may even have more than one family.

HBO and The CW, for example, have ties to Time Warner.

In later generations, Kevin saw so many DC TV series, all of which were shown on CW.

Chapter 303 Hostess

The company that had financial problems was a TV station called TNT.

In the United States, there are no more than one or two hundred TV stations of various kinds. Among them, the public relations TV station that relies on advertising is the largest, but also the least.

There are no more than fifteen scattered ones.

In addition to this, is the pay TV.

The coverage of these paid TV stations is far lower than that of public relations TV stations, and their main audience is mainly concentrated in major cities in the United States.

Through the content, to attract viewers to pay to watch, the general fee is [-] to [-] US dollars a month.

The price is quite expensive, so in order to make TV viewers willing to pay, they have racked their brains to find ways to shoot TV dramas, TV programs, etc. that attract viewers.

And TNT is one of the many pay TV stations.

Because of the large investment before, the TV series and variety shows that were filmed did not get good ratings, which led to a serious loss for the TV station.

They have not filmed a TV show or TV series with a production cost of over 500 million for more than a year in a row.

All the recent shows are sitcoms, and the results are as bleak as ever.

This kind of achievement also made the capital behind TNT lose interest in continuing to operate the TV station. For this reason, the director of the TV station released the news to see if anyone is interested in taking over the TV station.

And Kevin, also after hearing the news and after some consideration, chose the TV station TNT.

First of all, if it is the kind of public relations TV station that relies on advertising to survive, they are all in the hands of major capital giants. This is the foundation of those media giants. No matter how hard Kevin digs, he can't dig it.

And the price of the acquisition was beyond Kevin's affordability.

On the other hand, even Kevin himself does not intend to acquire that kind of big TV station.

Kevin, who knows the future, understands that when the Internet age comes, there will only be fewer and fewer people watching TV. In the future, the video giants on the Internet will be more terrifying than these media giants.

And this giant is already in Kevin's hands.

That's right, what Kevin said was exactly Netflix.

At present, in fact, Kevin just needs an ordinary TV station to digest his company's resources.

As for TNT, although it is not profitable in the near future, its coverage rate is not bad among the old TV stations.

This means that as long as there are good programs that can attract viewers to pay, then TNT can get out of the current predicament at any time.

To put it in the most straightforward terms, it is some small TV stations, it is really that others want to order but there is no place to order.

And TNT, once brilliant, has a high coverage rate. In many places, as long as you are willing to order, you can immediately connect to the TNT signal after paying.

Kevin took a fancy to such a well-established TV station.

···

After getting out of the car, the eight bodyguards immediately attracted the attention of many people.

However, when they saw the protected people in the middle, the eyes of these people all showed such a look.

With Kevin's net worth of tens of billions of dollars, recruiting eight bodyguards is nothing.

It is no exaggeration to say that his assets can even directly buy some small countries, even if he wants to become a king.

After getting out of the car, Kevin was surrounded by bodyguards and walked directly towards TNT TV station.

As a small TV station, it does not have the treatment of having its own separate building like a big TV station, so it can only rent some office buildings to work.

Along the way, with the aura of the eight bodyguards, almost no one blocked the way.

In a few minutes, Kevin came directly to TNT's office area.

A lady with big blond hair and sexy clothes came up, looked at Kevin, and said with a warm smile on her face:

"Director Kevin, please follow me. I am the host of TNT, and my name is Bowa."

Listening to the woman's self-introduction, Kevin involuntarily glanced at the upper body of the hostess, muttering to himself that it was indeed very informative.

As if seeing Kevin's eye movements, Pova deliberately shrugged her shoulders to make her upper body stand out more.

The smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.

Obviously, she wants to have something to happen with a super rich man like Steve Kevin, and it would be perfect if she can have a child and share a family property of hundreds of millions of dollars.

But now that Steve Kevin is here, he has something to talk about, not her time to seduce.

Pova led the way, and among the eight bodyguards, the two who had followed Kevin the longest followed closely behind.

Looking at Bowa's figure and plump figure, Kevin asked casually:

"The name Bova sounds Russian. Are there any elders in your family who are Russian?"

Bova responded with a smile:
