After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Dean had some guesses, and it was because of this guess that they believed that the project would be successful.

But all of this still needs to be confirmed from the director Kevin.

Kevin smiled calmly, of course he knew what he meant.

There are quite a few directors who only have the word art in their minds. It is often very difficult for such directors to obtain investment from film companies.

Among these film companies, there is a category of their own for film directors.

Commercial director and art director.

Most of the funds invested by art directors in making films come from overseas investors, and very few make money.

As for commercial film directors, as long as they don't fail one after another, it is often easier to get investment.

The Dean of this New Line movie seems to want to find out what kind of director he is.

And Kevin's choice is naturally a commercial film director.

"Because young people like hot girls."

Kevin's words immediately made everyone present burst into laughter, but the subtext in the words was obvious.

He is not a director who does not consider the audience for art.

With this premise, the following conversation will be very pleasant.

The three film companies gave him similar conditions, with a total production cost of 130 million US dollars, which included his director's remuneration of [-] US dollars and all production costs.

This amount is undoubtedly the lowest cost among the low costs in Hollywood.

And his salary is also very little, but Kevin doesn't care.

As long as Saw can achieve a third of the results it should have, he, Steve Kevin, will never be able to achieve such a meager income as he is now.

The copyright of Chainsaw in his hands will bring him huge benefits.

As for talking with them about income sharing, although I am unwilling, the reality is not Long Aotian, a rookie director who has not yet proven himself in Hollywood.

It is simply impossible to talk to them about sharing.

but·····

With a hint of expectation that maybe he might agree, Kevin put forward his own idea.

"Guys, I am very confident in my film, and I have an idea."

"what idea?"

As film companies, they are naturally connected with each other, and there will be no vicious competition as ordinary people imagine.

Chapter 6 Casting of the Chainsaw Crew

Of course, the biggest reason is that Kevin is just a director who has not yet proven himself, so there is no reason for him to have conflicts with other film companies.

Therefore, the three companies have tacitly carried out a move to lower prices.

Now, the director seems to want to make his final request, and they will also weigh whether to agree to his request.

"I don't want a salary, but I want to implement a gambling agreement with you."

"Oh? Interesting, let me hear it?"

Dean spoke first.

Kevin stretched out two fingers seriously and said:

"The global box office is less than 2000 million, and I don't want a penny.

"Starting from the box office of 2000 million, if the box office exceeds 2000 million, I will share 1% of the box office revenue, and then add 1000 to this percentage for every additional 1 million."

Dean laughed out loud. This kind of gambling agreement sounds very interesting, and he can feel the existence of that ambition from Kevin's eyes.

Obviously, Kevin believes in his heart that his first movie box office can exceed 2000 million.

In Dean's opinion, the possibility of this is no more than one percent.

It is theoretically impossible for a cutting-edge director to earn tens of millions of box office with a movie worth $120 million.

Therefore, this condition is fully admissible.

"Okay, I promise you, but the upper limit is 5% at most."

Dean said with a smile.

In the words of the Chinese people, be careful to make the Wannian ship, even if it is impossible, he must prevent the possibility of overturning.

The highest box office share of 5% determines that even if the chainsaw really explodes, the money distributed to Kevin will still not make New Line Films feel heartbroken.

"it is good!"

After achieving his goal, Kevin shook hands with Dean, expressing that the cooperation between the two parties has been reached.

As for fighting for more share, that's the same sentence, no one is a fool.

In case the real box office gets 1 million US dollars at the box office as it should have, then New Line Films may have to give him 5000% of the box office.

This huge profit is enough to turn New Line Films' face and tamper with the overseas box office. In this way, he may not even get the benefits he should have received.

5% is already a pretty good result.

As for the big jazz and big American film company, Kevin has already ignored it. From the negotiation just now, he has seen that only the new line film company is really interested in investing.

The other two seemed to come to cooperate with Dean, and at the same time create a common oppression, so that he, a young man, would not be too difficult to deal with.

The two sides reached a cooperation, and Dawson, who had been silent on the sidelines, stood up and began to discuss the specific details with Dean. After a lot of back and forth, an agreement was quickly signed.

In the final analysis, it is only a small investment after all, and it can be decided as an executive of Dean.

If it is an investment of tens of millions, then what must be involved is the entanglement of a negotiation team of dozens of people.

After reaching an agreement, Dean quickly left the CAA building with two other people.

In the room, only Dawson and Kevin were left in an instant.

Picking up the contract on the table, Dawson smiled slightly and said:

"Kevin, members of the crew? And the actors, do you have any arrangements here?"

Kevin waved his hand and said naturally:

"Except for a few positions that I have confirmed in the proposal, you can arrange other people. For actors, you can find some newcomers to interview. If you definitely accept them, you can directly sign the agent contract on the spot."

"Okay, leave it to me Kevin."

Dawson's face was full of excitement, this is the power of the director.

A director client can bring a large number of high-quality clients to CAA's agent, and if the director's movie box office is very successful, there will be a chain reaction.

What he can do is to better serve Kevin in all aspects.

......

After Dawson went to the Screen Actors Union to establish the chainsaw horror project, countless actors were able to see part of the news about the chainsaw horror from the actors union.

After learning that this was a horror film with a small investment, countless actors felt that they seemed to be able to get a chance, and they all came to the interview place set by the crew.

Needless to say, the big crew, but all the characters with names and surnames are selected by those actors who have experience or certain acting experience.

It is often difficult for pure newcomers or newcomers with little performance experience to get this kind of opportunity.

On the contrary, it is a crew with a small investment, because they cannot afford too much salary, they often choose newcomers.

For these new actors, a famous role is often more important than money.

In this case, three days later.

Outside a certain office building near Hollywood, hundreds of people lined up brazenly. They came here with only one purpose, and that was to get an important role from the chainsaw crew.

...

In the office, Kevin looked at resumes one after another in an orderly manner.

The crew is divided into two parts of the interview, one part is the character in the play, which is being interviewed by the assistant director Dawson has found for him.

On the other hand, Kevin himself was in charge of the interviews for the most important roles in the movie.

"Salma Hayek?"

Looking at the small photo in the resume, and the name that seemed familiar but could not be remembered clearly, Kevin thought carefully.

At the same time, Salma Hayek also entered the room.

Looking at Salma Hayek in front of him, Kevin's eyes finally brightened.

Compared with Salma Hayek in front of her, the dozen or so women in front of her are far behind. Not to mention in her resume, she seems to have won the Mexican Novella TV Award in 89. Best Actress, and Best Newcomer at the Novella Television Awards in Mexico.

Being able to win an award shows that her acting skills are also good.

The most wonderful point is that these awards are not common in the United States, and arrogant Americans do not recognize these awards.

Therefore, for Hollywood, she is a rookie actor, and her salary can only be calculated according to the rookie.

The only thing Kevin worries about, though, is whether she can let go on the show.

Although the scale will not be too large, that is, the dew point.

But it is also appropriate to give some benefits to the audience.

...

Salma Hayek looked at the young director in front of her, and proudly puffed out her chest.

She is full of mature temptations all over her body, especially the pair of big leather balls that have been developed, which makes people have an urge to step forward and grasp it.

But Kevin knew that this pair of balls would definitely not be able to be grasped with one hand.

It was also at this time that he finally figured out the future development of the actress in front of him.

Chapter 7 Selected Actors, Greg OR Colson

To put it simply, Salma Hayek has a lot of large-scale movies, so it must be open.

She has no problem playing the heroine in the play.

Kevin selected a short plot from the script and handed it over to Salma Hayek to perform.

After the preliminary judgment of acting skills and body, there is no problem.

Kevin then asked:

"Do you have an agent?"

Salma Hayek was overjoyed, this subtext is most likely the heroine in place.

She shook her head quickly and said:

"No, I haven't been in Hollywood for a long time, and I'm still learning English, and my English isn't particularly good."

Kevin nodded and continued:

"If you end up being selected as the heroine, you must sign with my CAA agent, no problem?"

"no problem!"

Salma Hayek was categorical.

Kevin nodded, letting Salma Hayek leave first.

Dozens of female characters came in one after another.

But no one made him have that kind of impulse like Salma Hayek anymore. Although many actresses hinted at him in various ways during the interview process, it was his first work.

What Kevin wants to see more is the success of the movie.

As for beautiful female stars, there are as many as there are in Hollywood. As long as you succeed, you will naturally not lack those Yingying Yanyans around you.

The heroine's interview was over, and the actor's interview ended soon.

In the final analysis, the male protagonist in horror movies is not really important, but the female protagonist has fixed requirements because it involves some dewy plots.

Sexy, glamorous.

Finally, the interview with Jigsaw, the soul of the whole script, began.
