After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

After interviewing dozens of people, there was still no jigsaw candidate that satisfied Kevin.

Although Jigsaw doesn't have much time to show his face in the play, his importance is beyond doubt.

But at this point in time, the original jigsaw Tobin Bell has not yet set foot in the showbiz.

And 13 years ahead of time, it is impossible for Kevin to copy the original version, and in fact, there are many flaws in the chainsaw.

This is what he has to worry about.

...

When dusk came, Kevin stretched his waist, looked at the people leaving downstairs, took out his mobile phone and called Dawson.

"Hi, I'm Dawson, what's the matter, Kevin?"

"There is no suitable candidate for the casting of Jigsaw. None of the actors over the age of 40 meets my requirements. Please inform me and relax the age requirement."

"Specifically, it can be solved through makeup."

"Kevin, I have a friend. I feel that he seems to meet the requirements of the jigsaw in your mind. Why don't you come to my house tonight?"

Facing Dawson's invitation, Kevin only hesitated for a second before agreeing.

This agent was of great help to him, it was just for him to meet him, it was up to him whether to use it or not, there was no need to refuse such a favor.

"Okay, see you tonight then!"

.......

A single-family American-style middle-class standard, located in a white community.

Inside the house, the hostess is hard at work preparing dinner for the upcoming guests.

Dawson was chatting with a benign-looking white male with a large forehead on the sofa in the living room.

"Greg, trust me, you have the potential..."

"I didn't expect Dawson, this is how you see me, am I so suitable to play a murderer?"

The white man called Greg said half-jokingly.

The two have been friends for many years and have a very good relationship with each other.

Seeing that my friend has been stuck in Hollywood for a few years, he can only do some jobs that are not even signed. He just happens to have a project in hand. Out of friendship, it is only natural to pull him in.

In fact, his background is not bad.

As a student of the New York University School of Art, the two top art schools of the University of Southern California and the University of California.

Naturally, there is no problem with his ability.

But sometimes, in the circle, more needs an opportunity.

Clark Gregg may have been unlucky, and he has never been able to get a chance. Although his family has some savings, it is obviously not enough to support his development in Hollywood.

Naturally, he would not refuse his friend's kindness.

Part of the script about the image of Jigsaw placed in front of him has also attracted him deeply.

The doorbell rang, Dawson got up to open the door, and Greg also stood up a little nervously.

The door opened, and Dawson said loudly:

"Welcome my friend, future great director, Steve Kevin here..."

Kevin was speechless, and he looked calm and scary in the company, but he looked like a different person after returning home.

It seems that at home, he is more or less releasing his nature when he is relaxed.

"Okay, don't be so exaggerated, this is the friend you mentioned."

Kevin walked in naturally, shook hands with Clark Gregg who was standing aside, and then sat down.

At the same time, he had already made up his mind, and the jigsaw was handed over to him.

As for why.

Clark Gregg's performance in future movies and even TV series, as long as he flips it a little bit, he can express the feeling of the jigsaw in his heart.

The good guy among the agents, the tool man who united the Avengers, the future director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson.

That is Clark Gregg in front of him.

Out of his love for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., he also did a little research on Clark Gregg.

There is no problem with her background, the prestigious New York University School of Art.

In his previous life, it was not until 2000 that he finally obtained the authorship of editing a movie, and it was not until 2006 that he played a supporting role in a TV series.

It is enough to see that he is really not doing well in Hollywood.

But one thing Kevin is very satisfied with is that he is very popular with the audience.

Coupled with enough ability to perform a jigsaw, Kevin believes that his ability is definitely enough.

Judging from his appearance, with a little makeup, he can achieve the effect of an old man in his fifties or sixties.

Kevin didn't mean anything else, but he was indeed mature and stable.

Also known as aging.

Clark Gregg naturally didn't know that the role he wanted had been firmly in his hands.

Looking at the young man in front of him in his thirties, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Compared with him who has been in Hollywood for so long, Kevin is indeed a genius.

He was known as a genius director in school, and now, he got investment from New Line Films before he graduated.

To be able to shoot your own films as a director.

This opportunity is really enviable.

Chapter 8 Start Shooting

But this is also a manifestation of his ability, and it is actually quite normal.

Compared with Steve Kevin, he is undoubtedly an ordinary person.

"Kevin."

"My name is Clark Gregg. Dawson told me about Jigsaw. I want to play Jigsaw..."

"no problem."

"what?"

Greg was stunned.

How could he get the role without doing anything.

Kevin said slowly:

"I believe Dawson won't make fun of me and his future. Since he chose you, you must be fine."

Kevin's words made the two people present happy at the same time.

I don't know it, but the biggest reason is that Kevin is born again, he knows the future.

Of course, it also depends on the type of movie.

Generally speaking, in the film industry, there are three situations where there are dramas that love people, some people love dramas, and some people encounter dramas.

Movies that are popular in the drama, as long as the actors meet the basic requirements of the role, there is a high probability that they will become popular.

And the movie that people love the drama is popular because of a certain actor.

As for people encountering a drama, it means that people just encountered a drama that suits them, and it happened to be popular.

These three kinds of movies are actually very easy to find, just think about it for yourself and you will know.

And the chainsaw is undoubtedly the kind of drama.

As long as the actor who plays the jigsaw can express the feeling of the jigsaw that Kevin needs, anyone can be popular.

Of course, referring to the character of Jigsaw.

As for the actors, they may not benefit too much.

But no matter what, it is also a character that can make the audience remember its name, which will be of great benefit to Coulson's future development.

At least it won't be worse than his original development path.

Of course, Coulson was just a title in his heart.

It is true that he left a deep impression on him among the Avengers and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

His real name was Clark Gregg.

With Kevin's answer, all three parties were satisfied, and the following dinner was naturally very pleasant.

.....

After one night, the actors were selected, and Kevin, who had set up the basic crew framework at the same time, applied for a vacation for filming time in school, and then hurriedly got to work.

The plot of Chainsaw mainly takes place in several secret rooms, so the setting is very simple. In order to save money, Kevin and his assistant director carefully selected around Hollywood, and finally selected several empty rooms Make a transformation.

No way, New Line Pictures does not have its own studio, so this kind of shooting location that does not need to go outside needs to be found by itself.

Fortunately, the chainsaw is not complicated in this respect. I found a random place and performed a little one-to-one restoration.

This is where it costs the most money.

That is, the instrument of torture that runs through the entire chainsaw.

In order to better restore the props in the plot, within half a month after the script was delivered, Kevin looked for a medium-sized movie prop company recommended by CAA.

Specialize in the production of the props you need.

In the end, the prop master who listened to his opinion was a little afraid of him, as if to say, how perverted is your mind, why is it all about torture tools.

The props were back in place, and the assistant director also helped him make a series of preparations for the crew before the start of work, as well as the transfer of personnel.

In this regard, Kevin is still very satisfied.

A crew has never been handled by a director.

From box lunches to personnel deployment and time arrangements, these are generally the responsibilities of the assistant director.

As a director, his only task is to present what the director needs in his shots through the performance of the actors.

.....

On September 1991th, 9, the crew of Chainsaw officially started filming.

The US$130 million invested by New Line Films also went into the custody account. At the same time, a not well-known but experienced middle-aged white male producer sent by New Line Films also came to the set.

After some simple exchanges, Kevin knew that he was the greatest sincerity of New Line Films.

As long as he doesn't spend money randomly and shoots steadily, the producer will be invisible in his crew.

This is already a very good result.

There are no big-name actors in the entire crew, and at the same time, several key positions have their own people. Kevin's authority has been fully demonstrated in this crew.

Of course, the same reasoning.

In such a crew, if the chainsaw fails, he can directly stay away from the director industry.

"Mite, Carey, take your place immediately."

"Filming the first scene in the room today."

"Yes, Director!"

In the filming location similar to a melodrama composed of three walls, Kevin began to give orders.

The original Chainsaw, filmed in 2004, was directed by Wen Ziren, with a total investment of 120 million US dollars.

And now, here in 1991, he's got $130 million invested.

At the same time, the salaries of actors at this time are also much lower than in 2004, which means that Kevin gets more resources than Wen Ziren.

At the same time, he also hopes to make the chainsaw more classic.

He is also doing his best to make up for the shortcomings caused by limited funds.
