After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

After a while, Emma, ​​who hadn't seen anyone looking for her, changed her identity.

Chapter 106 Finished

Look for the two of them everywhere.

Immediately after finding Kevin and Emma, ​​they joined the battle.

····It was another happy day for Director Kevin...

-------------------------------------

The three days of Christmas passed quickly.

After the festival, Kevin started his intense shooting schedule again.

Because it is a more realistic comic book movie, this movie does not have too many dramas, but mainly literary dramas. The core of the plot is Batman and the Joker.

With the completion of the film's scenes, the plot gradually progressed to the exciting part of the film.

Knowing that this kind of role cannot be rushed, Kevin just let Jim Carrey's clown and Christian Bale repeat the role in general.

Under the pressure of Kevin, every rehearsal made the movie even better.

For two full months, every day, Kevin stared straight at the scene of the two, repeating it over and over again.

Not only is he going crazy, Jim Carrey now has a bit of a clown in his daily life, and he has already entered the drama too deeply.

Under such circumstances.

Finally, the scene is over.

...

"Thank you very much for your dedication in this crew. Today, I announce that the filming of Batman The Dark Knight is officially over."

"The Crocker Hotel, a small party, everyone is welcome, let's go to the carnival today."

After the filming ended, Kevin finally showed a smiling face.

This is a scene that no one can see during filming. After training with multiple crews, Kevin has gradually gained his own reputation on the set.

And because of his reputation, he was nicknamed the Black Faced God.

It means that he kept his face dark during filming.

After arranging the other members of the crew, Kevin didn't stay idle, but took Jim Carrey simply to Robert Downey Jr.'s favorite bar.

...

"Director Kevin, you finally have time to come over."

Downey, who was in the bar, saw Kevin approaching, and hurriedly leaned over, teasing.

Based on their relationship, Downey will not feel any jealousy towards Kevin. Seeing that Kevin has developed so well in Hollywood, he will only be happy for Kevin.

He was also very happy to see Kevin and Jim Carrey coming over.

After teasing, Donnie asked for two bottles of wine at the bar, and sat down with Kevin Jim Carrey this time.

"Kevin, you don't come to the bar very often, it must be something."

Kevin laughed.

"I'm here to introduce friends to Jim Carrey. I think he needs a friend like you, Donnie."

Jim Carrey's performance in the movie made Kevin very satisfied, but it also aroused his concern.

He could feel that Jim Carrey, who played the clown, was not in a good state of mind.

As a responsible director, Kevin feels that he has an obligation to help Jim Carrey solve it.

As for depression, Kevin felt that in addition to physiological factors, an extroverted friend is actually a good help.

"Hi, I'm Jim Carrey."

Jim Carrey introduced himself shyly.

It's hard to believe that, based on the impression Jim Carrey gave in the movie, he is actually a shy person towards strangers in reality.

It is referred to as social weakness, that is, the social ability is very weak.

"Hello, I'm Robert Downey Jr., you and Kevin came to my place today, just leave it to me, I promise to make you high today."

Corresponding to the social weakness, Robert Downey Jr. is a typical social cow.

People are crazy, familiar with each other, talkative...

These are his labels.

"DJ, change another music, Kevin, you come too."

In order to let Jim Carrey get rid of the influence of the role as soon as possible, Kevin also joined this special night party.

A bobbing head dance, which is the special dance that Jim Carrey will dance on Saturday Night Live in 96, has appeared in Kevin's place ahead of time.

Perhaps Jim Carrey would never have imagined how much broadcast volume a small program of his would gain in mainland China.

...

The dancing begins.

Jim Carrey was a bit reserved at first, but he was sandwiched between Kevin and Robert Downey Jr., accompanied by magical music and dynamic head bobbing.

It made Jim Carrey shake his head involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, this scene drove the entire nightclub, and hundreds of customers of the nightclub danced this special dance together under the magical music.

In life, Jim Carrey, who seldom feels happy and relaxed, suddenly found that he also enjoyed the feeling of dancing with his friends in a nightclub.

At the same time, he silently made up his mind that he would come here often to relax.

····

After introducing Jim Carrey to Robert Downey Jr. as a friend, Kevin was relieved.

He believed that the character of Robert Downey Jr. would definitely prevent Jim Carrey from falling into depression again.

He even came up with the idea of ​​having two people co-star in a movie.

Of course, it's just an idea.

What he has to do now is to cut out the first sample of Batman and The Dark Knight.

Then the soundtrack, special effects processing, and other post-production, will be done slowly.

Speaking of which, since he hasn't been to MGM for a long time, he can already think of MGM's opinion of him.

As a major shareholder of MGM, the new movie did not include MGM at all, so there must be many high-level executives who have objections to him.

But this can be regarded as Kevin's intention. Through this method, he wants to let the MGM people know who MGM's business depends on.

Without him, Steve Kevin, MGM is a mess right now.

Then starting this year, since the Dark Knight, he will basically cut off his cooperation with Warner.

Started to shoot movies belonging to MGM and Chenxi wholeheartedly, increase the influence on MGM, make money at the same time, and always prepare to swallow MGM.

.....

Half a month later, the upper and lower parts of The Dark Knight came out.

The workload of the two films was extremely huge, which really exhausted Kevin to death.

As for the soundtrack and other things, Warner has a wealth of experience. Kevin almost spent the production of The Dark Knight in the most relaxed posture since he made a movie.

In 1995, March NO.20, Kevin finally completed the production of Batman.

In the studio, I rested for a day without being disturbed.

Only then did Kevin wake up refreshed, changed into brand new clothes, and threw away the clothes he hadn't changed for many days.

Walking out of the studio, Kevin casually called an employee who was guarding the door and asked them to notify Warner's senior management to come and see the final effect of the Batman shot by him.

Chapter 107 Internal Preview

"Steve Kevin is done with The Dark Knight?"

Upon hearing the news, Robinov rushed over immediately.

As a big production with a total investment of about 5000 million, once the box office fails, even a film company of Warner's level cannot afford it.

After all, with Warner's size, its annual revenue is only more than 2 million US dollars.

It seems a lot, but if you count the production cost, if you lose a big production, basically Warner will do nothing for a year.

Losing money for two major productions basically required the use of working capital on the books.

Loss of three parts...

Without the support of the group behind it, a large film company could almost be crushed.

The film industry has always been a high-input, high-return industry.

For a movie to succeed, especially for a big-budget movie, the follow-up income is too much.

On the whole, it can reach three times or five times the investment, or even more.

With such a high profit, the loss is also very serious.

Of course, for Robinov, as the president of Warner Bros., if this kind of production with a large investment fails.

Even if it was him, he would inevitably resign and leave.

However, in terms of Kevin's ability, Robinov absolutely does not believe that there will be a situation where the cost cannot be recovered.

If that's the case, he'll admit it, and Kevin's career will inevitably fall to the bottom with him.

Screwing up a big production and screwing up a small production are completely different concepts.

The small steps showed the urgency in Robinov's heart.

It only took a few minutes for Robinov to come from the ten-storey president's office to the projection hall.

Kevin handed the master tape in his hand to Robinov, stretched himself, and said confidently:

"I'm pretty sure this will be another Oscar-worthy epic in my career."

It was a rare boast for Kevin.

In essence, this Batman Dark Knight two-part series is born out of the Dark Knight series directed by Nolan, but Kevin has absorbed the essence and reconstructed the film.

At least the original part occupies more than 50%.

Barely able to let Kevin say the last sentence, it is his own work.

If Chainsaw, Get Out, and Mission: Impossible are all copied, then Pirates of the Caribbean is Kevin's first step in adapting movies.

Of course, the overall adaptation rate of Pirates of the Caribbean is about 10% to 20%, and Kevin is ashamed to say that it is his own original.

But the Batman Dark Knight series.

Kevin broke up the plots of the previous two films, and at the same time added part of the plot of the birth of the clown, further pushing up the importance of the role of the clown.

In this way, Kevin is tantamount to using the first half of the Batman Dark Knight series as a foreshadowing.

Therefore, the results of the first film may not be very good.

But all the foreshadowing will push the next Batman Dark Knight directly to the level of a masterpiece. This is Kevin's confidence.

Robinov nodded, and Kevin's confidence also infected him.

Then the next thing to do is very simple, the rating of an internal test screening will determine the proportion of the follow-up investment for this big production.

After hearing the news, the screening manager and several high-level executives took their seats one after another.

This small screening hall, which can accommodate more than 30 people to watch movies, is fully occupied.

Kevin lay on the seat and fell asleep lazily. He has absolute confidence in the quality of the Dark Knight, and now he only waits for one result.

Robinov hissed, telling everyone not to disturb Kevin, but turned down the sound of the movie and started showing it silently.

Two movies, more than 4 hours in length.

Get everyone ready for a bladder fight ahead of time.
