After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

But for Kevin now, this is naturally not an expensive expense.

After eating, Kevin took a taxi to New Line Films.

.......

New Line Films.

Inside the President's Office.

Shay lashes out at Dean.

"How can you give up the subsequent copyright to Kevin? Is this how you work as the selection manager of New Line Films?"

"Idiot, idiot..."

A series of insulting words spewed out.

This is a typical discourse in the workplace. Before Kevin failed, the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw was not worth mentioning. With Kevin's insistence, Dean let go of the follow-up The copyright of copyright is actually a very normal decision.

If it weren't for the unexpected success of the chainsaw, Dean's operation would not have any problems.

Of course, since Saw has achieved this kind of success, Dean's contribution in this matter has been reduced invisibly.

Xie Yi's scolding was more or less intended to be suppressed.

Dean was naturally very aggrieved, but he was in the position of a film company executive of this level in his early thirties, and it was obviously impossible for him to resign just because of a scolding.

Therefore, he also endured the scolding honestly.

After scolding for a while, Xie Yi continued:

"Wait to negotiate with Kevin about the follow-up income of the chainsaw, you go talk about it first, and I will come forward after it reaches a certain level."

"Yes!"

...

Coming to New Line Films again, Kevin had a completely different experience.

Chapter 22 deal, $3000 million

As the director of a blockbuster movie, his arrival was warmly welcomed by New Line Films.

As soon as he entered, he was ushered into a very luxuriously decorated reception room.

Dawson waited in it early with his lawyer.

After resting for a while and having a snack in the office, Dean hurried over.

"Kevin, are you having fun these days?"

"It's pretty good. The only thing I feel these days is one sentence, it's nice to have money!"

Kevin's face deliberately revealed the itinerary of spending money these days, and the words between the lines meant that he wanted to kill a fortune.

A wry smile suddenly appeared on Dean's face, and he stopped making rounds.

They even brought their lawyers, and there was nothing to say, just to sell the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw for a good price.

"Kevin, how much do you want to sell the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw?"

Kevin stretched out three fingers slowly.

"$3000 million? Impossible!"

Dean's expression suddenly changed.

Kevin's amount is undoubtedly a lion's mouth.

"Don't worry, the chainsaw itself is preliminarily estimated to bring you nearly [-] million dollars in revenue. That's okay, right?"

In terms of the box office alone, excluding the sharing and publicity expenses, according to this trend, it can earn nearly [-] million yuan in profits for New Line Films, not to mention other follow-up income.

However, with some of the copyrights in Kevin's hands, this part of the income is undoubtedly much less.

Now Kevin is selling all subsequent income and copyrights to New Line Films. Although the quoted price of 3000 million US dollars is a bit high, it will not lose money.

Just make less money.

Dean's face eased a little under Kevin's reminder, and Dean was about to speak to continue talking about the price.

Kevin continued:

"The scripts of the two chainsaw horror, and I can name the producer, and at the same time, I can fully cooperate with your publicity."

Kevin directly showed all his sincerity.

The script is the foundation. For low-cost movies, it depends on telling a good story.

Two scripts that continue the world view of the chainsaw and can continue to be promoted in his name, which has guaranteed the possibility of making money for the next two chainsaws to the greatest extent.

At least the 3000 million US dollars should be able to be earned back without any accidents.

Of course, this time Kevin can only get the fixed salary of the editor and the leatherworker, don't even think about the share.

"This···"

Dean hesitated for a moment and said:

"I go out for a while."

Kevin nodded, obviously, this is going out to find someone who can make this decision to make this decision.

...

"Kevin, are they really going to pay $3000 million?"

After Dean left, Dawson couldn't hold back and asked.

Although he knew that the price would not be low, he only thought that 1000 million US dollars was the sky-high.

Unexpectedly, Kevin directly asked for three times the price, which is 3000 million US dollars.

Even his agent was frightened, but he also hoped that the deal would be closed.

CAA can take 5% of Kevin's income, which is the standard for A-level clients, and Dawson, as Kevin's most direct agent, can share 5% of this 1.5%, and the rest is given by Company shares with other CAA brokers serving Kevin.

That is to say, if this transaction is concluded, he will start with hundreds of thousands of dollars in terms of achievements.

For the first time, Dawson realized what it meant to have a high-end client like Kevin.

I couldn't help but praise myself once again in my heart for being a hero with my eyesight. I signed Kevin early and the cooperation was very pleasant.

Kevin doesn't have any objection to the commission they take from his income, after all, CAA's help to him is quite useful.

His start would have been far from smooth without the help of CAA.

Among other things, if he was looking for investment everywhere with the project proposal, he would hit a wall many times, and he might not be able to get investment.

Kevin is a person who advocates win-win cooperation, and the resources of CAA are worth the money he paid.

"Trust me, they will, I have calculated it in detail!"

"This business, apart from the need for time to pay back, is almost a pure profit. If they don't want to, I don't mind handing over the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw to other people."

"During the Beverly Hills party, Jeff Robinoff, the president of Warner Bros., expressed his interest in the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw..."

Kevin spoke slowly, his tone full of confidence.

"Who said that the copyright of Chainsaw should be handed over to others!"

Shay walked in with strides, and laughed at Kevin's words.

"Isn't it just 3000 million US dollars? Our New Line Film Company bought it!"

Under Kevin's promise, there are two sequels.

After much consideration, Shay decided to directly buy the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw for $3000 million.

To put it bluntly, Shay chose to make big money instead of fast money.

Kevin also had a smile on his face.

"make a deal."

After the cooperation was reached, the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious. In this harmony, Shay also took advantage of the opportunity to talk about Kevin's next work.

"Kevin, your next film should be operated and invested by New Line. Trust me, New Line Films will always be your backing."

"All works are handled by you, and no one else can interfere. The leatherworker only cares about the money, and nothing else. The actors are all up to you!"

These words can be said to have given Kevin the greatest director rights. Of course, the most direct reason is that Kevin's second film will still only be produced at a low cost.

Otherwise, once tens of millions of dollars of investment are involved.

It is impossible for Spielberg to get so many rights when he comes.

"Theoretically, there is no problem. However, in order to get a better schedule and more big screens for the new movie, I suggest that a part of it should be allocated to other film companies with sufficient strength."

Kevin seriously suggested.

For Kevin, this is the choice that maximizes the benefits.

Shay thought for a moment and immediately agreed.

The uproar of Chainsaw has made many film companies greedy. If the next Kevin’s movie still eats alone, when it is released, I’m afraid no matter whether it’s the big screen, the promotion, or the schedule, I’m afraid they will have to pay attention to it. Something went wrong.

The chainsaw is the only one in this Halloween. I don't know how much hatred it has attracted, and the new line has made a lot of money.

If you go out and pay protection fees regardless of points, you will be targeted in minutes.

They must not have been the Big Five of Hollywood.

Chapter 23 Inspiration from the Rodney King Affair

After reaching all cooperations, Kevin left directly on the grounds of preparing for a new project.

Dawson also continues to run for Kevin's old classmates, as well as several new signings.

After the disbandment of the chainsaw crew, they all signed contracts with CAA and were assigned a lot of work to hone their abilities and wait for Kevin to use them again.

Of course, the biggest name among them is naturally Jigsaw Greg, and there are almost endless appointments.

But none of this had anything to do with him. After spending time with Robert Downey Jr., he hurried back to the hotel in Beverly Hills.

Speaking of the time since he crossed over, he has always lived in a hotel, and he feels somewhat lonely.

After all, there are no relatives, only an orphan.

Fortunately, he has always been accompanied by beautiful women, which makes this feeling not very strong.

...

In the house, Angelina Jolie didn't go anywhere, just waiting for him in the house. Compared with her modeling career, Kevin is undoubtedly much more important.

So she took a long vacation resolutely, and planned to spend time with Kevin in the hotel.

Even if she didn't become Kevin's wife in the end, she still watched from the sidelines of Kevin's new project, so she could somehow play an important role.

This is much better than her wandering around by herself.

After enjoying some food in the hotel, Julie went back to the room, turned on the TV and enjoyed the leisure time.

Kevin opened the door, and what he saw was the beauty lying on the sofa in disheveled clothes. She was extraordinarily attractive, and instantly made little Kevin feel refreshed again.

Just when Kevin was about to step up and mess with Julie, the news broadcast on TV instantly attracted his attention.

"ABC! Bringing you the fastest and best news!"

The beginning is the slogan of the TV news program, and then the text begins immediately.

"The following is the follow-up development of the Rodney King incident broadcast by the reporter German. Since March 3, after the videotape of Rodney King being beaten by the police for drunk driving was released, the public agreed that the police have the right to use violence. Behavior."

"Currently, the four policemen in the video are still under arrest, and the trial will be held soon..."

Watching the news, Kevin sat next to Julie, staring at the TV and thinking.

Julie on the side just dragged her chin with her hands and looked carefully at the man in front of her. The serious man looked extraordinarily handsome (Duojin).

The news from the TV station awakened Kevin's memory, and the aftermath of the Rodney King incident was beyond everyone's memory.

On April 4 next year, the four police officers who beat Rodney King will be acquitted, and the consequences of all this will be the arrival of the Los Angeles riots.

Even in Kevin's memory, this riot was the largest riot in the United States since the 20th century. It lasted for four days and caused immeasurable casualties and economic losses.
