After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"Have!"

Kevin would never call him that if he had nothing to do. Since he called him that, it meant he was looking for something good.

He is an absolute big shot in this small and medium-sized investment comedy, so it's not a problem to take a day or two off.

After putting down the phone, Johnson immediately took a vacation with the director.

With a very pleasant cooperation in the early stage, the director waved his hand and went to shoot other scenes first. He gave Johnson a day off, and Johnson immediately rushed to Chenxi Films.

····

Getting a satisfactory answer from Johnson, Kevin also secretly improved his evaluation of Johnson.

This is an actor who can be developed.

Among the actors he has worked with, Johnny Depp and Will Smith are the ones he doesn't want to work with again after working with him once.

It's not about their professionalism, but that these two play too much in private.

Word of mouth can easily collapse in the future.

Of course, this is viewed from the moral point of view of the mainland,

In the United States, although it is very playful, the free United States does not allow public accusations of other people's private affairs.

Therefore, even if you are dissatisfied, you can only hide your dissatisfaction in your heart.

Of course, these word-of-mouth are actually one of the reference standards when film companies choose actors.

This is also one of the reasons why, in the future, Johnny Depp has no real blockbuster movies other than Pirates of the Caribbean.

A big film company would not consider him at all.

In the same way, Will Smith also narrowed his play path.

These are all observable things.

In the future, Johnson will be able to occupy No.1 in the Hollywood star salary rankings. It has to be said that his quality in all aspects is very good.

In private, he is very self-controlled.

This is actually the most important thing for an actor.

There are too many Hollywood actors whose futures were destroyed by drugs.

Chapter 336 A new movie universe?

Heath Ledger, the former Robert Downey Jr., and a few other well-known Hollywood stars.

Kevin can only say that there are countless such phenomena.

After the phone call, Kevin continued to work on the new script, and at the same time called Yuan Heping, asking him to set aside time for his new movie.

To shoot an action scene, when Kevin came up, he had to directly fill up all the configurations.

The top action actor Jet Li is already in place, and the best martial arts instructor is also indispensable.

Arranged these things.

Kevin just finished the script, and the editors continued to polish it.

The morning was fleeting.

Johnson rushed in front of Kevin at a furious pace.

As soon as he saw Kevin, Johnson showed his simple and honest smile.

Although I know that the person who can stand at the top of the star is definitely not a simple character.

But with this image alone, Kevin can only say that he took advantage of it.

But speaking of this, Kevin has to sigh with emotion that there are obviously more types of big stars in Hollywood.

There are black people, there are big guys like Johnson, there are small meat like Leonardo, and there are handsome men like Tom Cruise.

Of course, a tough guy like the governor is also very common.

In the future mainland, aesthetics will gradually be unified.

It seems that it is difficult to mix in the entertainment industry if he is not a handsome man.

I have to say, it's kind of sad.

The point is, in fact, the so-called beautiful men at that time existed more through photo editing.

If it was the level of an actor surnamed Jiao, I am afraid there would not be so many people who would have resentment towards the entertainment industry.

"Director Kevin."

Johnson said hello, and then he looked like he was at his command, which almost amused Kevin.

A big man, like a little daughter-in-law.

It's really born to eat the rice bowl of actors.

No matter what profession, it can be said that talent is needed.

Write novels, be directors, scientists, etc.

Effort can only determine the lower limit, what height can be reached depends on talent.

"sit down."

Facing the pistachio of Johnson, Kevin also relaxed a lot, smiled, and said casually.

Johnson was also polite, first he sat down on the tens of thousands of dollars on the big sofa, then stroked the back of his head and asked pretendingly ignorant:

"Director Kevin, you are looking for me..."

"Stop pretending, you really don't know?"

Kevin poked through his hypocritical disguise, which made Johnson laugh, and then said:

"Guess what, you want me to be the protagonist?"

"Yes, but there are still two protagonists, and your protagonist has a little less role."

"Will you be unhappy, blame me for always giving you double protagonists?"

Kevin probed.

"how can that be."

Johnson waved his hand and smiled straight on his face, showing no dissatisfaction at all.

"This is the protagonist of a movie directed by Steve Kevin. Let alone a small actor like me, even a superstar will not suffer."

With the Fast and Furious series, Johnson's status in Hollywood at this time is between the first-tier and second-tier stars. From this comedy, he was given 700 million US dollars, which can roughly estimate his current status. .

In Hollywood, pay is always the most direct means of evaluating a star's status.

This is also the reason why ordinary stars will not easily lower their pay to appear in movies, which will lead to a reduction in their status.

Of course, this refers to movies in general.

In Steve Kevin's movie, if the superstar lowers his salary to act, it will definitely not be considered a downgrade.

After all, Kevin's movies are already the top film resources in the industry. These superstars hold countless commercial and large-scale production resources in their hands. The only thing they lack is the movies directed by Steve Kevin.

Kevin has been through countless movies and told others that he doesn't like the habit of using superstars.

Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise are rare two.

And they all lowered the pay they should have.

Even so, it is an opportunity that many stars cannot ask for.

Such an opportunity falls on an actor who is not even a first-line star. If Dwayne Johnson is not satisfied, then he is really not so clear-headed.

As long as he can star in Steve Kevin's movies repeatedly and get box office success after box office success, even a pig should become a superstar.

And even if there is no higher advancement, Johnson's current status earns dozens of times more than before.

The current overall form of WWE is not good, and even a top WWE player like him only gets an annual salary of several 10.

Of course, there are peripheral shares, ticket shares and so on.

However, the overall profit is not ideal at present.

This is also the biggest reason why Johnson wants to step into Hollywood in one step.

And now, he has stepped into Hollywood and gained a firm foothold.

His next goal is to stand at the peak of an actor.

That is to become a superstar.

And the biggest shortcut to becoming a superstar is to embrace the golden thigh of Steve Kevin.

This is the truth he understood as soon as he stepped into Hollywood.

As long as you hold on to this golden thigh, it will be a matter of time before you become a superstar. After thinking about this, Johnson's attitude towards Kevin is naturally very obedient.

Again, in a capitalist society, everything is combined because of interests.

Only when the interests of the two parties do not conflict, can they become friends.

And Johnson and Kevin have the same interests, Kevin wants box office success, Johnson wants qualifications and fame, and both sides get what they need.

That's what makes it so harmonious.

Of course, it's also what Johnson thinks clearly, otherwise, the speed and passion of the signing and the follow-up salary increase would have turned the world upside down.

It also speaks to Johnson's long-term vision.

Listening to Johnson's words, Kevin nodded and said:

"Johnson, don't worry, your current fame is not enough to support the box office of a movie."

"When you get to that time, I will let you be the absolute protagonist, I promise."

Kevin's tone was firm and persuasive.

Johnson nodded.

What Steve Kevin said was never false.

Listening to Kevin's words, Johnson became more confident.

"Okay, I'll get you the script in two days. When your film is finished shooting, you can come directly to the Hurricane Rescue crew, and the set will still be at the MGM studio."

"Here I will shoot other scenes first."

Johnson nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Okay, then you go to work first."

Johnson just smiled honestly, turned and left.

Looking at Johnson's back, Kevin suddenly thought of another subject.

In the previous life, there was a hot topic in the Internet literature circle, which was always flawed due to copyright reasons.

But this is not a problem for Kevin, he has a lot of copyrights.

Unlimited streaming, what would it be like if it was filmed into a movie...

Chapter 337 The Idea of ​​an Infinite Flow Universe

The film copyrights of MGM and Chenxi Films are currently barely able to form an imperfect infinite world.

It seems to work.

Currently, Kevin is holding the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Xianxia Cinematic Universe being built, and a series of separate big IPs.

Although these big IPs are powerful, they fight on their own.

Can't help each other.

If Kevin reproduces the infinite flow in his memory in reality, this...

It's exciting just thinking about it.

More importantly, in his position, this matter is not impossible.
