After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

It speaks to his ability to take certain cinematographic shots with depth.

Of course, not so pure works of art.

It's commercial art.

And Mitt's is very simple, he is suitable for shooting popcorn movies, those commercial movies, blasting, rescue are all considered his forte.

This is why Kevin arranged the Transformers project for him.

The two Russo brothers, not to mention for the time being, have not been thoroughly tempered.

It's not a big problem to make a sequel movie with a world view and a good tone.

But shooting original movies is almost meaningless.

As for Tsui Hark and Zhang Yimou, they have unique styles, which are not taken into account.

Looking at it this way, Chenxi Film Company is really short of directors.

Wen Ziren's versatility is exactly what Kevin lacks.

"Well, since it was recommended by Schneider, I believe in your ability, how about it, you will be my assistant director for my new movie."

Now that he already knows that the person in front of him is a famous director in the future, Kevin will not do the test.

Directly invite him to be the assistant director.

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Wen Ziren's face suddenly became tense.

What is the concept of Steve Kevin inviting someone to be an assistant director.

Counting the contracted directors of Chenxi Film Company, which one did not start as Kevin's deputy.

Now one by one has become famous in Hollywood.

There are too many scenes in hand to finish filming.

This is something that many directors dream of.

You know, the investment of Hollywood capital is not so easy to get.

Some big directors and contracted directors of Chenxi Films are not short of filming. For ordinary directors, it is really begging grandpa to sue grandma that they can barely get a movie with a small investment.

Medium investment is already a field that only famous directors can touch.

And those blockbusters.It is a category that only some of the top directors in Hollywood can touch.

In the morning light movie, as long as it is tempered a little, after getting the approval of Steve Kevin.

All kinds of medium-sized and large-scale investment projects are all queued up.

In the outside world, I don't know how many directors want to join.

It's a pity that Steve Kevin has never been publicly recruited.

All by fate.

This makes many people envious.

"It's an honor to be your associate director on your new film."

"Well, follow me, study hard, and usually polish yourself more. If possible, I will invest in you to make a movie first after you have trained for half a year or a year."

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Wen Ziren nodded quickly.

"Okay, let's go to Dawson to sign a contract. It's the same treatment as the Russell Brothers' previous contract, with a guaranteed salary of 20 US dollars a year. If the works produced by the auction have good results, there will also be bonuses."

Chapter 339 Accept Wen Ziren

The treatment given by Kevin is definitely not low.

Kevin has already said that in this era where the annual income of US$12 is considered middle class according to the population, that is to say, a family of three can earn 20 a year, which is considered the middle class. The minimum guarantee of [-] is enough. He is alive and well.

This is still without any harsh conditions.

It can be said that in the entire Hollywood, only Kevin can give this kind of treatment.

Of course, those who can get this kind of treatment from him are often the future famous directors in his memory.

This can be regarded as Kevin's investment in advance.

Through this kind of treatment and daily attitude, create a comfortable environment that can retain talents.

None of the directors who have joined Chenxi Films currently have the idea of ​​leaving.

Although film projects may not always be the most suitable projects in their minds, Kevin gave them great autonomy in film.

Almost all of them are half-producers, which is a privilege that only a few big directors have outside.

It can be said that Kevin gave higher treatment than outsiders in terms of money, status, and autonomy.

They really have no reason to quit.

Unless their ambitions don't stop there and want to start their own film company, then Kevin can only wish them good luck.

So far, there has not been a Hollywood giant started by a director.

The founder of DreamWorks, Steven Spielberg, was the closest to success, but with the lack of capital support, he ended up with a loss.

To put it bluntly, the giants control the distribution of terminals and can exploit profits to the greatest extent.

For DreamWorks movies, without its own distribution channels, a movie must reach three times the box office of the movie in order to be profitable.

And giants with distribution channels only need twice the box office of the production cost to be able to generate profits.

The difference in this is huge.

This gap has greatly enhanced the trial and error capabilities of the giants, allowing them to produce more movies with less cost.

The base number has increased, and with the support of the capital behind it, it has become a giant step by step.

MGM used to be in control of such a distribution channel.

Unfortunately, after the capital abandoned him, MGM fell into a slump.

However, MGM's distribution channels have not been completely abandoned. This is the greatest significance of Kevin's acquisition of MGM.

With this channel, Kevin can avoid the sanctions of the giants and find another way.

Of course, overseas distribution channels are even more important.

These two channels are worth the price Kevin paid for MGM.

Those who have this idea, at least, have never seen success before Kevin crossed over.

After Wen Ziren signed the contract, he immediately received a check of 20 US dollars from Chenxi Film Company as his annual salary for the first year.

Then he planned to move to live near the company.

For more convenient work.

In fact, at this time, he has not yet fully graduated and is still in the stage of looking for a job.

It was really lucky to be able to meet Zach Snyder.

When we were playing on the beach, we met by chance and chatted for a few words. Schneider remembered Kevin's mission, so he took the initiative to take a look at Wen Ziren's works.

Facing a well-known director like Schneider, Wen Ziren naturally knew that the opportunity had come.

He quickly found a place and showed the video to Schneider.

And Schneider also saw Wen Ziren's immature technique and spiritual sense of picture from the short film.

Immediately, I was overjoyed, and immediately recommended him to Steve Kevin.

Wen Ziren was still apprehensive before coming here, for fear that director Steve Kevin would not like him.

Unexpectedly, I didn't even watch his short film, so I kept him.

If it weren't for the 20 check in hand, Wen Ziren would have thought he was in a dream.

The moment he got the money, he was overwhelmed.

He is very clear about his next path.

It is already bright.

Holding Steve Kevin's thigh tightly, he seems to have become a famous director in Hollywood.

····

A few days passed in a flash.

The movie Shushan World has also been drawn.

With a production cost of 6000 million US dollars, it has achieved more than 2 million US dollars in North America, which is actually quite good.

With this achievement, Chenxi gained the upper hand when negotiating with overseas publishers.

To put it bluntly, everyone knows that the purpose of distributing movies is to make money.

As for the achievement of Shushan World, whoever gets it will make money.

Therefore, Dawn Films naturally holds the qualifications for negotiation.

In this regard, Shushan World has been screened all over the world.

Among them, countries such as Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture burst out with strong enthusiasm after seeing this movie.

In their culture, there are immortals and the concept of immortals who practice Taoism.

Such a movie is an unprecedented new subject matter.

All of a sudden it exploded.

At the same time, Japan and South Korea, two countries with extremely developed entertainment industries, have also launched many follow-up projects.

It has even developed into some adult industries.

All of a sudden, there was a special wave of Xianxia in these two countries.

Of course, this trend has also swept across the mainland.

Tsui Hark also has a good reputation in mainland China with a Chinese Ghost Story.

Of course, the opposite is the public's sense of recognition for him.

Hong Kong people are also our own people.

A film made by a Hong Kong director, about the legend of the sword fairy in the Shushan area in the history and culture of the mainland.

I won't say much about the patriotic enthusiasm this arouses.

Coupled with the publicity effect brought by Shushan World, its release in the mainland has not encountered any resistance, and it has not been cut.

All of this has made Shushan World popular in the mainland.

Of course, there is no way to know the specific data. This kind of overseas movies are all released after they are released, and then the overall data is transmitted at one time.

It will not be updated in real time.

When Kevin was working on the hurricane rescue in the office, Jet Li finally got out of Lizhi's gentle hometown and came to the morning light movie.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

In order to express respect for Jet Li, Kevin used the honorific title.

"Hello, Director Kevin."

"Thanks to your invitation, it is my honor to have the honor to appear in your movie."

Jet Li said politely.

The protagonist of Steve Kevin's movie, speaking out, I don't know how many people are envious.

Not to mention falling on his head as a Chinese.

This is something he can't even imagine.

He has been in Hollywood for more than a year. He has personally experienced Hollywood's rejection of Chinese.

Especially blacks, the discrimination against him is even more serious.

Obviously they are also severely discriminated against by white people, but in reality, it is their rejection of other ethnic minorities except white people.
