After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Even this classic comic and a director of James Cameron's level lost money, and Kevin didn't realize that Mitt had this ability.

Not even Kevin himself was trusted, let alone Mitt.

Shooting is basically equivalent to losing money, so there is no need to doubt it.

"why?"

Kevin's words, for a person with two-dimensional attributes like Mitt, somewhat hit him.

Mit couldn't help but ask the question.

Kevin opened his mouth to explain:

"Cultural differences, let me give you a very simple example, how much do you understand oriental movies besides kung fu movies?"

"Are you very puzzled by the behavior of many of them?"

"This difference cannot be resolved by you and me."

Mitte thought for a while, and was surprised to find that what Kevin said seemed to make sense.

No way, he is always so reasonable.

However, he was somewhat unwilling, and asked unwillingly:

"Is there no chance at all?"

"Let's see it in ten years."

In this regard, Kevin just said so lightly.

It's not easy for him to talk so much about Netflix.

These Japanese themes, in Kevin's opinion, are very suitable for adaptation into a series with the theme of Love Crash.

Let me mention here that Love Crash produced by Netflix is ​​indeed a masterpiece.

Excluding some mysterious series, there are a few episodes that are really god-like, and they can all be brought up to be made into a movie alone.

If it weren't for Kevin's success and fame now, and he didn't need to squeeze this kind of wool, he would have already started to kill love.

Of course, I have to admit that there are a few episodes in this series that are really big and not suitable for children to watch.

Anyway, Kevin absolutely doesn't admit it, he went for the large-scale camera at the beginning.

Of course, later he was indeed conquered by the plot.

There was one episode that he couldn't forget even more, it was a story about a spaceship falling into a cosmic spider's lair, I can only say that he likes the plot, and the picture is amazing enough.

It is more appropriate to adapt these Japanese manga themes into this kind.

As for the movie, it can only be said that it is really inappropriate.

Mitte looked anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

He has great trust in Kevin's vision.

When Kevin said this, he basically gave up and had no more thoughts.

He doesn't do this kind of business that is sure to fail.

After chatting for a few more words and dismissing Mitt, Kevin thought about his movie project in his heart.

After the hurricane rescue was over, he had rested for a long time, and his hands were somewhat itchy.

It’s also time to start preparing for new projects.

After all, it may take several months from the preparation to the start of filming, so it's better to plan early.

However, he didn't think about the specific project yet, and needed to find the right inspiration.

As for how to find inspiration, it is actually very simple.

Just search from the company's copyright library and scripts submitted by screenwriters, and find a suitable one that Kevin wants to shoot.

····

Time flies to the next day.

Kevin walked the red carpet with Nicole Kidman to suppress the situation for Mitt. He and Nicole Kidman are naturally commensurate with each other as friends, and he is not afraid of the media daring to talk nonsense.

Without absolute evidence, the media dare not report indiscriminately. At the same time, he has a very close relationship with Tom Cruise.

The public knows this.

As for him walking the red carpet with Nicole Kidman, no one thinks about it.

Speaking of which, Nicole Kidman took the initiative to invite her, and Kevin felt somewhat guilty for her.

After all, the promised person's project is not in place, and for a kind person like Kevin, it is a breach of trust.

So after enjoying Nicole Kidman's special service, he immediately responded to the matter.

During the interview, Help boasted about supporting Transformers.

After coping with the reporters' questions, the movie screening began soon.

For Mitt's version of Transformers, Kevin is still very confident. Although he has seen it once, he doesn't mind watching it a second time.

Speaking of which, he also contributed a lot to the editing of this movie.

The rhythm is tightly compressed to ensure that the hearts of the audience are always lifted.

Movies are dramatic in themselves, so things that rarely happen in reality are rare things that happen.

In the movie, it will become inevitable instead.

For example, the recognition of the protagonist and the bumblebee, everything is so bloody, but reasonable.

···

The movie quickly came to the highlight.

The war between the Transformers and the American Army.

In a capitalist society, it has to be said that money really is everything.

Mitt brought a large sum of US dollars, and after reaching a cooperation with an American military officer of no low status, he even activated a real fighter tank.

This makes the scene look very real.

By the way, in this movie, the male and female protagonists are characters that Kevin has no impression of at all.

Of course, the heroine is indeed beautiful enough, let's not mention this for now.

In this kind of commercial film, a beautiful vase is actually quite normal.

But the overall payroll, Kevin remembers, seemed to be no more than $1000 million.

This also includes the salaries of the crew.

For this large-scale production of more than [-] million US dollars, the salary expenditure is undoubtedly too low, which makes the film itself have no point of marketing.

There is nothing else other than the basic disc of the Transformers IP.

But for Mitt, this is actually enough. There is nothing else in this movie. What you watch is robots, and humans are just a foil.

Nearly tens of millions of dollars spent on special effects made these special effects look nothing like special effects at all.

This is actually the best compliment to special effects.

It's not like a special effect, it's the best compliment to a special effect.

Steel robots, fighting with war machines, planes and tanks undoubtedly stimulated the adrenaline of the men on the scene.

Robots are the eternal romance of men. Such a movie makes it hard for the audience to take their eyes off.

Chapter 378

Robots with a height of several meters use various weapons to fight with planes, tanks, and troops. This scene instantly ignites the blood of men.

The ones who shocked the most were Wang Jing and Zhang Yimou.

Tsui Hark has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he clearly understands the gap between the film industry in mainland China and the film industry in Hollywood.

But after these two people came to the United States, although they also watched a lot of movies, they didn't have that sense of reality.

After all, the feelings produced by other film companies are completely different from those produced by Chenxi Films itself.

The production of Chenxi Films means that they also have the opportunity to get in touch with this kind of big production.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are completely different worlds from the project they are currently working on.

At least, for this ten-minute scene on the big screen, according to their understanding, an expenditure of 3000 to [-] million US dollars is required.

This is only for special effects, not to mention the price paid for cooperation with the army.

The results are also quite gratifying.

From this scene, they can conclude that the movie is a success.

There is nothing to say about the plot of Transformers, it is very vulgar.

Fortunately, those who came to see this movie did not come to see the plot at all.

Everyone is here for the special effects.

Watch Robot Wars.

And Mitt's robot battle scene perfectly restored the effect that the audience should have. With one punch and one kick, the car was blown away and flattened.

Let the audience get hooked.

What kind of planes and tanks are simply vulnerable to this group of Cybertron robots.

This is the power that the robot should have in the audience's mind.

Throughout the movie, there are three similar big scenes, which serve as the climax of the first, middle and last periods of the movie to attract the audience's attention.

There are small plots interspersed in the middle.

The plot is also very simple, that is, the battle between the two factions of Cybertron robots, the Decepticons and Megatron.

For Americans, this is actually a familiar story.

And the IP of Transformers actually has a certain reputation all over the world.

At least when Kevin was very young, he had seen Transformers animations and toys in mainland China.

Although it may be a pirated version, it still has a great effect on the spread of IP influence.

At least Kevin was able to know this IP because of the spread of piracy.

For such an IP with a certain reputation in the world, the content of the story should not be complicated, just simple and straightforward.

To put it bluntly, what you watch is special effects, and the public really doesn't have high requirements for stories.

Complete, reasonable, enough.

As long as the logic in the movie is self-consistent, that's fine.

More than an hour, whether it is long or not, is not short.

If the movie makes the audience feel boring, it will only have the effect of passing the day, and the audience will feel that the time is very, very long.

But if the movie can attract the audience, then more than an hour is actually very short.

After more than an hour of Transformers, the faces of the audience showed expressions like they had just woken up from a dream, and then, naturally, it was time to exit.

The auditorium suddenly became noisy, and the audience left one after another along the viewing channel of ordinary people, still discussing the plot in their mouths.

The guests left along another road.

After attending the premiere, Kevin didn't intend to get together more, but told everyone directly and let them go about their own affairs.

A vacation for a vacation, a job for a job.

All left.

Kevin then went back to his home in Beverly Hills.

····

"Kevin, you're back!"

As soon as he got home, Kevin found that the atmosphere in the house was a bit wrong.
