After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Following Downey's lead, Kevin also began to relax.

Came among a group of hot girls in thin clothes.

Kevin's youthful but slightly mature face was already enough to attract these hot girls, and with Downey's words, they became even more crazy.

"My younger brother, Kevin, is a talented director, and his first film will be shown in theaters soon, so you understand."

"Wow!!!"

The hot girls exclaimed one after another, this is their yearning for the profession of director.

The star corresponds to the director.

The director's movies can cultivate big stars one after another. Just ask, who doesn't want to live brightly under the lights.

Accompanied by Downey's words, Kevin was instantly overwhelmed by countless weapons, arms and beautiful legs...

......

The next day, in a huge suite, Kevin woke up and broke free from his arms and legs.

Kevin couldn't help feeling that he was too depraved.

"I can't blame myself. It's capitalism's ability to corrode the will. It's too powerful. A good young man like me has fallen like this."

Kevin muttered to himself, and walked towards the hotel where he was originally staying without any nostalgia.

There is another big beauty waiting for him.

After two or three days of hard work like this, Kevin woke up from the tenderness and came to New Line Films energetically.

As the boss and the president, Xie Yi didn't care about his identity at all, and greeted one after another paper media at the door, as well as famous film critics.

In the end, money is the most important thing, and he didn't lose anything if he treated these paper media or film critics with a better attitude.

On the contrary, if these people can say something good, it will have a great influence on the box office.

However, their glory is also in this era.

Kevin who came in from the side, with a fake smile, thought silently in his heart.

With the advent of the Internet age, these people will be swept into the garbage dump sooner or later. To put it bluntly, whether a movie is good or not depends on the audience.

How old are the mere film critics.

Of course, that is all in the future, at least for now, the influence of these film critics is still very large.

I don't know if Shay has done enough behind the scenes. These film critics are very friendly, completely different from the sharp faces of these film critics that Kevin saw in the newspaper.

Xie on the side looked calm. These more than 20 famous film critics took a total of more than 30 US dollars from him, and the paper media together cost him 50 US dollars in public relations expenses.

Even if it is thrown into the water, it can splash a little, not to mention these people who talk about money.

Today's screening meeting is, in the final analysis, just a process.

After they watched it, they would praise Chainsaw from their own perspective, attracting the first audience into the cinema.

In the follow-up, according to their internal judgment, word-of-mouth will be fermented to a certain extent.

I dare not say how exaggerated it is, but after removing all the investment, New Line Films will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

...

One after another, everyone finally arrived. Of course, no one would deliberately miss the money delivery.

In the large screening hall on the fifth floor, more than 20 film critics and more than a dozen paper media professionals were seated one after another.

Roger Ebert is one of the film critics with a high reputation. Generally speaking, if the quality of the film is not good, these film companies will often not invite him to do some screenings.

Of course, the money will naturally not be given to him less.

In order to prevent him from spraying people casually.

The world is such a reality, when his status is high enough, people are willing to pay a huge price just to shut his mouth.

Roger Ebert smiled slightly, no matter what the movie was in their hearts, he would only speak according to his own words.

This is what he has always insisted on.

He was invited to come, but the quality of the film was not good. If he insulted his eyes, he would have to bear his bad comments.

Otherwise, don't invite him over casually.

Of course, if the movie can really impress him, Roger Ebert doesn't mind using his reputation to advertise it well.

The lights in the theater suddenly went out, leaving only a few small lights, emitting a little yellow light.

On the screen, the name of New Line Film Company suddenly appeared, followed by the names of the director, actors and behind-the-scenes staff scrolling past.

The next moment, the screen flashed.

The movie begins.

Kevin silently followed the progress of the film, observing the facial reactions of these film critics and paper media people.

The expressions of contempt, ridicule, and appreciation are undoubtedly revealed. Obviously, the chainsaw has not been satisfied by everyone, but Kevin can still see that they all want to know who the jigsaw is.

Chapter 13 The Role of the Film Critic

Their eyes were firmly attracted by the screen.

And this is enough for Kevin. Being able to attract the audience to watch the movie instead of exiting the scene has actually proved that this is not a bad movie.

As for the charm of Jigsaw, as long as they watched the last episode, Kevin knew that they would firmly engrave Jigsaw, a classic character in film history, in their hearts.

Time passed quickly while watching the movie, and everyone was addicted to the movie as the protagonist Adam struggled.

The movie ends quickly.

Film critics wrote something in the small notebooks in their hands.

On the other hand, Roger Ebert had nothing in his hands. He seemed to look around and found the figure of director Kevin and walked over slowly.

"You are the genius director Steve Kevin, and I am Roger Ebert."

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm Steve Kevin."

Roger Ebert looked at Kevin with great interest and asked his own question.

"How did you come up with a character like Jigsaw?"

For this kind of problem, Kevin has already prepared in advance in his heart.

So it is natural to answer:

"I grew up in an orphanage. During my growing up, I have seen many old people die in front of me."

"Most of them suffered from illness."

"At the same time, I have also seen many of my classmates who don't respect life, they are addicted to sex, and they are in the big world."

"I wantonly squandered my life, and I didn't regret it until the pain came to them."

"For this reason, I created a murderous monster like Jigsaw in the movie. He didn't kill people casually."

"It's for the purpose of teaching people to value their own lives. At the same time, in the movie, for Adam who doesn't value life, it's not that he didn't leave them opportunities."

"It's just that they didn't grasp it."

“…”

Kevin was talking here, and Roger Ebert on the side nodded repeatedly.

Judging from the conception of this character, the realm of the chainsaw has far exceeded that of ordinary movies.

It has its own thoughts there.

While making people feel scary, it also metaphorically persuades people to cherish the inner life. There is no doubt that this is a rare masterpiece.

After getting enough information from Kevin, Roger Ebert decided to write a film review for the chainsaw after returning home.

Such a good work should be seen by more people.

Dean, who was on the side, was a little bit stunned to see them talking so happily. You must know that Roger Ebert, an old guy, is not good at oil and salt.

The only thing the studios can do is pay him to shut up.

As for asking him to praise a certain movie, that must be done by Roger Ebert himself who truly loves that movie.

Such a stubborn old guy who doesn't know how to make money actually had such a happy chat with director Kevin.

"Haha, Director Kevin, you really are a genius."

Roger Ebert praised Kevin again before turning around and leaving.

Dean moved his steps, came to his side and said:

"Are you Roger Ebert's son?"

Kevin's face darkened, what is his son, can he speak.

"Don't get me wrong, I haven't seen Roger Ebert have such a good attitude towards people for a long time. As you can see, he is not a gregarious guy among film critics."

"However, his film reviews can always dig out some unexpected things, and his influence on the word-of-mouth of a film is still quite large."

Dean explained.

Kevin nodded. He had also heard of Roger Ebert's name in his previous life, but he only knew that he was a famous film critic.

Of course, in this day and age, film critics are very influential.

If it is not necessary, he had better not offend these people.

After answering these questions for him, Dean took Kevin to find Shay to discuss the next premiere.

As for these film critics and paper media people, they will naturally be received by other people. After receiving money from New Line Films, they will naturally not talk nonsense. There is still a bit of professional ethics.

...

Seeing Kevin and Dean rushing over, Shay quickly beckoned them over.

On the table in front of you is a thing called a schedule ticket, which records in detail the information of the movies that were released before and the movies that will be released soon.

Terminator 2, The Silence of the Lambs...

These are movies that have been screened for more than a few months. Kevin couldn't help but be thankful that in October and even November, when the North American box office is off-season, there are no hard bones.

And it's almost Halloween.

Judging from the normal broadcast time, they can wait until Halloween.

Every year, Halloween is a great time for horror movies to be released.

But Halloween is not the only one of them, and other film companies will naturally not miss it. Choosing Halloween means that they have to compete with other movies with real knives and guns.

There are only so many movie theaters, if you have more, others will have less.

This is a life-and-death relationship.

Shay is trying to seek his opinion?

Kevin guessed.

"The few movies that are currently being released are not enough evidence, but the upcoming Halloween, as the first choice of horror movies, the competition is very fierce."

"Kevin, I need you to promote it in various universities..."

Shay said directly.

"no problem."

Kevin directly agreed.

Of course, he would not refuse this kind of promotion that is beneficial to the box office of the movie.

After agreeing, the next step is naturally a series of detailed discussions.

The specific publicity time was set on the day before Christmas, and the first stop was Kevin's alma mater, the movie theater next to the University of Southern California.

Before that, preheating is naturally indispensable.

.....

The next day, Kevin got up, bought a newspaper from the hotel entrance, and then returned to the room to watch the film critics' comments.

"The genius work of a genius director, this Halloween, you must not miss the excellent masterpiece, in this film, you can see how Jigsaw punishes those who do not cherish life in the name of God... "
