After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Barry approached enthusiastically, with a friendly smile on his face, and his manner was so kind that his subordinates couldn't believe it:

"Kevin, Mission: Impossible's rebirth from the ashes and its brilliance are all based on your plan. This time, Paramount really accepts your favor."

"How about this, Mission: Impossible 2, you direct, Paramount is willing to offer you the highest director's salary in the industry, and it's still your original team, plus Tom Cruise's starring..."

There was confidence on Barry's face, he believed that Kevin would not refuse Paramount's terms.

Mission: Impossible 2, based on the success of Mission: Impossible 1, there is no possibility of losing money no matter how bad the filming is.

This is basically sending money to Kevin.

Of course, there is no comparison with being an investor, but the advantage is that Kevin does not have any risks.

As for getting Kevin to invest, that is of course impossible.

The big sales of Mission: Impossible 1 have caused several waves of quarrels among Paramount executives.

They are all hurting for the benefits they have given away, and they can only watch Warner, MGM, and Chenxi three film companies eat their meat.

As for trying to find a way to exploit the loopholes in the contract, this idea is not unheard of.

However, considering the influence of Warner and MGM, the only thing they can do is Kevin's 30% investment.

As for Kevin's current relationship with Warner and MGM, it's really hard to say whether they will stand up for Kevin.

After some consideration, Paramount extinguished this little thought.

Put all your attention on the sequel to Mission: Impossible.

With the foundation laid by Kevin, as long as the sequel is not too bad, they can make a lot of money for Paramount.

And after Mission: Impossible 2, they can even launch Mission: Impossible 3, 4, 5 and even more.

The real big head is actually still in their hands.

Instead of being entangled in the interests of Kevin, it is better to continue to develop the follow-up of the big IP of Mission: Impossible.

And the safest method is naturally to use the original crew from the director to the actors to the production team.

Ever since, after they learned about the party held by Tom Cruise, they immediately asked Barry to come here to invite Kevin.

Facing Barry's confident invitation, Kevin shook his head firmly.

"I'm sorry, I already have plans for my new movie. To invest in the same huge fantasy pirate movie, I must invest at least 20% or more."

When Kevin said this, he actually declined.

Of course, if Paramount is willing to give him more than 2% of the investment share in Mission: Impossible 30, it is not impossible for him to break his own rules.

Although he is a well-mannered man, he can't do anything if others give him too much.

Facing Kevin's attitude, Barry was somewhat disappointed.

But Paramount can give the industry's highest film remuneration, but it is absolutely impossible to give him a share of investment.

Mission: Impossible 2 is a stable business, and they won't give the outside world any investment opportunities, and Paramount will take it all alone.

Since Kevin is unwilling to continue to serve as the director of the Mission: Impossible sequel, he, the operations officer and producer, naturally has to find another director worthy of entrustment in the Mission: Impossible 2 project.

Thinking of this, Barry smiled, greeted Kevin politely, then turned and left.

On the other hand, Warner President Robinov was keenly aware of the new movie plan Kevin was talking about.

A fantasy pirate movie?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling troubled.

Looking at the box office results in recent years, there is not a single fantasy film that sells well.

Oh no!

There was an Aladdin last year, but it was a world classic IP, and it was also a cartoon.

Although the subject matter is fantasy, it is obviously not the same as the pirate movie that Kevin said...

However, although this theme does not seem to be so popular in the market.

But if the director is Steve Kevin, Warner is still willing to invest a part of the share.

But all of this must wait until Kevin's project proposal is decided.

Thinking of this, Robinov couldn't help but sigh for Kevin in his heart.

At only 25 years old, he is already a very mature producer and director in Hollywood.

The producer of Mission: Impossible and the producer of Escape from Deadly Town are in name only on the set, and their biggest role is to be responsible for supervising that Kevin does not misuse the funds for making the film.

In fact, the staff of the insurance company is responsible.

In other words, for Kevin's next movie, he will occupy three positions by himself.

Producer, director and screenwriter.

This kind of person is not a genius, what is a genius.

Thinking of this, Robinov approached Kevin and asked directly:

"Kevin, I don't know how much investment you need for your pirate movie?"

"Warner Bros. is willing to give you at least 3000 million financial support!"

Robinov made some calculations in his mind, and finally decided on an investment amount of 3000 million.

This amount, judging from the recent profits of Warner Bros., even if they lose all of it, it will not hurt their bones.

On the contrary, if it is really a loss, it is just right to suggest that Kevin return to the field of horror films that he is best at, and make small investments.

For Kevin's small investment, as long as the production cost is less than 500 million, Warner can cover it all.

Kevin nodded, but did not respond immediately, but just declined:

"The project proposal hasn't even come out yet, don't worry, I'll talk about it after I do a careful market survey."

Robinov nodded, temporarily ending today's exchange.

Chapter 61: Assistant Director Zack Snyder Targeted by Kevin

The next day, Kevin, who was free, first went to Warner Bros., and completely sold the subsequent copyright proceeds of Escape from Deadly Town for 3000 million US dollars.

Then he came to Chenxi Film Company, which he hadn't been in for a long time.

...

As Kevin's assistant, Garcia Allie, who has never met Kevin, has long heard about the reputation of Steve Kevin, a senior.

In school, Kevin has long been an idol admired by countless USC students.

Before graduation, he was unanimously appreciated by many professors.

As soon as he graduated, he immediately got investment from a film company of the size of New Line Films, and made his first film.

And with great success.

All this is like a legend.

No, he's already the legend everyone wants to be at USC.

The reason why Garcia Allie wanted to be his assistant was also to take a shortcut.

Starting from his assistant and stepping into Hollywood is much more difficult than going to other places to climb up step by step and realize her dream of being a director.

But to her surprise, after she served as Kevin's assistant, it's been so long that she hasn't even seen Kevin's face.

If she didn't want to miss this opportunity, she would have quit her job long ago.

When she was bored in the office, she saw a stranger entering the company in an instant.

The two little girls at the front desk were very pleasantly surprised:

"Boss Kevin, come here!"

Ellie hurriedly took out the mirror from her arms to adjust her makeup in a panic...

..

"Long time no see, are you two used to staying in Chenxi?"

Kevin said cheerfully. He was in a happier mood just after receiving the money. Seeing the two sisters whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he also had the leisure to tease them.

"I'm used to it. We are surrounded by our boss and uncle. In the company, no one offends us."

Sister Helen said proudly.

"Yes, yes, we are very happy in the company."

Sister Emma rushed to say.

Helen rolled her eyes and said:

"It's just that there are too few bosses, so my sister and I miss it."

Kevin glared at the two goblins before walking into the company.

As soon as he entered the office area, Kevin saw the blonde beauty in front of him.

Her appearance bears the Chinese characteristics in Kevin's previous Chinese memory, but her appearance clearly looks like the facial features exclusive to Europeans and Americans. This is a typical beauty of the consensus between the East and the West.

In the United States, there are very few beauties with this look.

In his company, and at the same time, he is not a contracted actor of their company, and the financial department theoretically does not have this kind of beauty.

So····

"You are my school girl, and the assistant Dawson found for me?"

Kevin asked generously.

Ellie took a breath, and looked at the boss and senior in front of her with a little nervousness.

Cursing secretly in my heart, it's really unreasonable to be so handsome while being talented.

Then he nodded and said:

"It's me, my name is Garcia Allie, just call me Allie."

"Okay, take a look at this project proposal first, and then give me your opinion."

As soon as they met, Kevin handed Ellie the plan for Pirates of the Caribbean.

This can also be regarded as a test for Kevin to Ellie.

As his assistant, the job is not so easy, the same, if Allie can meet his requirements.

Ellie can also get unimaginable connections and high wages from this job.

Ai Li also knew this, took the proposal, and nervously flipped through it.

While Ellie was looking through the plan, Kevin came to Dawson's office.

Dawson was dealing with several contract directors at this time.

As a movie company, the most important business is making movies.

However, the previous Chenxi movie was just a shell, so it didn't carry out these businesses.

Now that the funds are a little more abundant, after Kevin's guidance, Dawson decided to discover some other directors to shoot some low-cost works.

Open up new sources of income for Chenxi Film Company.

Seeing Kevin's arrival, he just raised his head to indicate that he knew, and then buried himself in the director's information.

Kevin didn't bother him when he saw this, but just picked up the information and looked at it casually, and saw a name he was very familiar with.

That was the name of a great director in the future, and a director he liked very much.

Zack Snyder!

"Dawson, call the director on this list over here. I think he has great potential. Let him be my assistant director first, and give him the chance to make a movie after the time is ripe."

Kevin arranged.

With the growth of Kevin's status, he has lost interest in those horror movies with small investment.

But one thing is undeniable is that horror films with small investment have always been a highly profitable subject in Hollywood.

If Chenxi Entertainment can get a good director, Kevin is still willing to become a producer and support the director of his own film company.
