After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

It is such a complex and not single character that establishes a very three-dimensional and vivid image of the captain.

The moment he read the script, Depp knew he had to get the role.

A role that is bound to leave a name in film history, if he misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Looking at the two silent on the side, Johnny Depp said confidently:

"Leave it to me, Director Kevin, this role is mine."

Kevin nodded.

"A week later, come to MGM's Pirates of the Caribbean crew to interview the leading actor. I believe you."

Looking at Depp's confident eyes, Kevin was instantly convinced by him.

People always talk about hard work, but in Kevin's view, talent is often the most important part of these arts.

Take Liu Tianwang in the previous life as an example, in terms of singing, he is not comparable to Zhang Tianwang, and in terms of acting skills, there is also a huge gap with Liang.

No matter how hard he tries, the gap between him and others is visible to the naked eye.

It's not that he is not good, but to make a point.

In the film industry, the importance of talent.

And Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp are undoubtedly such geniuses.

This kind of genius, assuring Kevin that he can act well, shows that he has this kind of confidence.

And Kevin is willing to believe in the promise of his genius.

In the following time, Kevin didn't say much.

After eating and drinking, Julie went out to pick up the show, and there were no women in his villa.

Simply spend the night in Cage's villa.

Drank some beer and had a good night's sleep...

Chapter 65

The next day, when Kevin woke up, both Depp and Cage had left the villa.

Depp was anxious to go home and take the time to study the script. Such a drama with a leading actor is undoubtedly a great opportunity to turn around and must be grasped well.

But Cage has something to do and wants to go back to his uncle's house.

Kevin was alone, and after ruining another lunch at Cage's house, he left here.

He called the driver and headed towards Chenxi Company.

Early in the morning, Dawson called him, and the assistant director he needed, Zach Schneider, had already arrived at their company.

Curious about Zach Schneider, the future director, Kevin also hurried to the company.

..

Zack Schneider dragged his luggage and sat on the chair carefully, feeling a little nervous physically and mentally.

At the age of 27, he has been in the MV world since he graduated.

He was very nervous about this opportunity.

If he can be successfully elected as the assistant director of Steve Kevin, this will allow him to embark on a broad road in Hollywood.

Kevin is the noble person in his life, it depends on whether he can grasp it.

..

This is what Kevin saw as soon as he entered the company.

The future director is carefully sitting on the stool, waiting for his arrival.

After saying hello to the little sister at the front desk, Kevin came directly to Zack Schneider and said with a smile:

"Hi, I'm Steve Kevin."

"I'm Zack Snyder!"

Seeing Kevin take the initiative to speak, Zach Schneider immediately stood up from his chair and introduced himself nervously.

Kevin waved his hand, frowned and said with a thoughtful look:

"Don't be nervous. I just saw the MV you shot before. It's very good. It has a heavy feeling like an oil painting. At the same time, it seems to have a special aesthetic of yours, which is very distinctive."

"That's why Dawson contacted you."

"I think your style is very suitable for a movie I'm about to start shooting. Would you like to be my assistant director?"

Kevin stretched out his hand and kindly invited.

"I am willing!"

Zach Snyder replied immediately.

From what Kevin said, he could feel that Kevin really understood him.

To describe the oriental culture he knows, Kevin is his bole.

So he responded immediately.

Of course, he didn't have any reason to refuse. To be able to become the assistant director of a big production, for him, it is undoubtedly a step up to the sky.

"Okay, the project is still under preparation. I will give you my assistant's contact information. You and her will prepare some supporting role selections in advance, and find a special effects company. Help me prepare a plan in advance. Take a look. Let’s see how much of the budget is going to be spent.”

"Okay, Director Kevin."

Zack Snyder nodded.

Kevin arranged these things, and then switched to MGM Films.

Time to talk about shares.

Most of the North American box office of Mission: Impossible has already come out, and now the overseas box office is poor, but it is different from the racial restrictions and cultural differences of Escape from Deadly Town.

Commercial blockbusters like Mission: Impossible have always been more popular overseas than in North America. According to the analysis of professionals, the overseas performance of Mission: Impossible can exceed North America by four to five times.

This is an unusually large number, and MGM has taken a huge profit from the Mission: Impossible cake.

Of course, for a giant like MGM, a movie is just a source of income.

It is not enough for a giant of this level to return to glory.

But at least, they see hope.

And this is what Kevin wants to see.

It's time, see you soon.

.....

MGM Grand Conference Room.

Kevin, the top management of MGM, and President Leiter are all sitting in the office at this time.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very relaxed at this moment.

Leiter took the initiative to say:

"Kevin, after the unanimous approval of all our senior management, we have decided to give you 0.5% of MGM shares. The market value, based on MGM's current stock price, is worth about US$900 million."

All the high-level executives with shares applauded one after another. This is the contribution of each of them, which squeezed out these shares.

Everyone pays a lot of money.

In their view, Kevin should be very happy because of these shares.

You know, this is a stake in MGM.

The shares of MGM are basically not circulated outside, and most of them are in the hands of major consortiums, and individuals own no more than 10% at most.

Privately owned shares do not add up to more than 25%.

It's just that what the consortium wants is for MGM to be under their control. As for the daily management, the consortium does not actually interfere.

Of course, if the financial report is not good, changing the president is also indispensable.

This is why Lei Te made a desperate bet. Fortunately, he made the right bet.

Everyone looked at Kevin who was supposed to be happy, but to their surprise, facing this huge surprise, instead of smiling, Kevin looked serious.

Just then, Kevin spoke.

"I want more than 5% of MGM's shares, and I can buy them with money. In the future, I can bring more blockbuster movies to MGM and let MGM rebuild its glory."

"This is my condition, if you don't agree."

Kevin was categorical.

"My movie will not let MGM invest a penny in the future!"

..

"Damn guy, who do you think you are?"

"MGM has been brilliant in Hollywood for so many years, it's not like you, a brat, can take advantage of it."

"Kevin, you're going too far."

"..."

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Kevin's act of taking advantage of the fire immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of all the senior management of MGM, and they all uttered words of reprimand.

Kevin just drank the coffee in front of him calmly, completely ignoring these words, and looked at Leiter who had been silent in the crowd.

Leiter frowned at this moment, as if he was thinking about something.

In this way, after more than ten minutes of quarreling in the meeting room, Leiter started to speak.

"Everyone be quiet."

As the facilitator of Mission: Impossible, Leiter's prestige among MGM has greatly increased at this time, and everyone is still willing to listen to his words.

Taking a breath, Leiter continued:

"Kevin's target is not us. He wants to talk to the group behind MGM. We don't have 5% of the shares for him."

Only then did everyone realize Kevin's real purpose.

Rhett looked at Kevin again and said:

"I will fight for your chance to meet them. As for whether you can persuade them, it depends on your ability, but I believe that if you join MGM, you will definitely be able to lead MGM to glory."

There was no wild laughter on Kevin's face at all, but a flat smile, as if everything was within his expectations...

Chapter 66 Kevin: I want 10% of MGM shares

After reaching a tacit understanding with Lei Te, Lei Te came out to help Kevin contact the current MGM behind-the-scenes boss.

The news is that Kevin should go to Las Vegas to actually meet the boss behind MGM.

Kevin readily agreed, took his bodyguards, and went to Las Vegas with Rhett.

......

Las Vegas, among a magnificently decorated casino.

As a casino tycoon, Kirk Kerkorian heard that Leiter, the president of his most unfavorable industry, brought a director to him, and he couldn't help becoming a little interested.

As a person who focuses on the gambling industry, buying MGM was entirely an outsider's idea, but now, I have to say, he regretted it.

For him, MGM is definitely a money-losing business.

Fortunately, thanks to the development of IP, MGM can barely support itself, but it is impossible for him to benefit from it.

However, this year, Leiter seems to have made some moves to make MGM's financial report look a little better.

This made Kirk Kerkorian feel a little better.

..

After a half-day flight, Kirk Kerkorian's men took them to the car as soon as they got off the car. The three of them sat in the car and headed for the legendary casino.
