After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

...

"Batman The Dark Knight Part One, a superhero movie that must be watched. No, I think he is more than just a superhero movie. Forgive my incoherent speech. In short, it is strongly recommended to watch."

"By the way, I love Steve Kevin, every one of his movies is my favorite."

"..."

Looking at the words on the forum, Kevin's face beamed with joy.

As for these things, whether they are real or MGM's PR, this kind of thing doesn't matter.

While Kevin was waiting for the meal, he was drinking the forum.

Ellie's phone call came.

"BOSS, Johnny Depp's agent hinted that we must increase Johnny Depp's salary, otherwise, Johnny Depp would refuse to play Pirates of the Caribbean 2."

On the other end of the phone, Allie told Kevin the bad news.

"I see, leave this matter to me, you don't need to worry about it, and prepare for other things about Pirates of the Caribbean."

Kevin ordered calmly.

After hanging up the phone, Kevin's face showed anger.

Sometimes, the contract is not everything.

Although the incremental condition of 500 million US dollars has been set, people will never meet it.

He couldn't directly say no to acting, but he said that he was not feeling well, and from a contractual point of view, it was indeed difficult for him to force the other party to act in the movie.

However, I really thought he couldn't help it.

Kevin took out the phone number of the fierce female reporter left behind at the premiere from his bag, sent a message, and made an appointment for a time and place to meet.

After getting a definite reply, he picked up the meal that the housekeeper in this area had left at the entrance of the villa.

As for money, Kevin had already reserved tens of thousands of dollars in that Chinese restaurant for consumption at any time.

After sharing this big meal with Sister Helen Emma, ​​I exercised for myself in the gym all afternoon.

Only then did Kevin arrive at the hotel that he had an appointment with the female reporter.

After a spring evening with the female reporter, Kevin told the female reporter that he was going to be the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This is considered to complete the transaction between the two parties.

.......

The next day, on the New York Daily, a piece of news attracted the attention of countless people.

"Suspectedly because Johnny Depp claimed to be unwell, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is about to start shooting, director Steve Kevin has no choice but to find a new actor to play Captain Jack Sparrow."

As soon as this news was published by the New York Daily, it immediately attracted heated discussions from countless people.

Big newspapers like the New York Daily are not allowed to report news of unknown origin. Once it is published in the newspaper, it means that there is a high probability that it is true.

At least, Steve Kevin must be looking for new actors.

The emergence of this news immediately caused countless actors who felt that they had a chance to send their resumes to MGM and Chenxi Film Company.

As for Dawn Films, they released the news that they are indeed investigating the new actor of Captain Jack Sparrow...

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

Waking up from drunkenness, Johnny Depp received a message from his agent.

"Depp, today's New York Daily News published a statement from Steve Kevin that he wants to cast the new Captain Jack Sparrow directly, and he is not willing to give you an extra salary..."

Caitlin was visibly flustered.

Neither she nor Johnny Depp expected such a strong reaction from Steve Kevin.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be a bargaining process?

Maybe in the end, there will be an extra $100, and maybe it will be sold.

Steve Kevin What does this mean, just flipped the table?

There is no reason to negotiate like this.

Johnny Depp, who comforted himself in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and then said:

"Don't worry, just invite Director Steve Kevin for me, and say that I want to treat him to a meal. Let's have a barbecue party in Nicholas Kevin's villa."

Speaking of this, Johnny Depp was also a little annoyed.

Being greedy for a while, it seemed that Steve Kevin was a little pissed off.

Until this time, he didn't know what a tough director Steve Kevin is.

Caitlin sent an invitation to Chenxi Film Company after receiving the order.

After getting a definite reply from Steve Kevin, the two of them were relieved to have dinner three days later. However, seeing Dawn Company, they didn't seem to stop looking for a replacement for Jack Sparrow.

The heart that hangs up to the throat, can't fall at all.

...

Inside Dawn Film Company.

Kevin didn't take this matter to heart at all, just put on a show, and Johnny Depp backed down, which made him feel a little boring.

But think about it.

Kevin is more or less a capital now, and Jack Sparrow has only just become popular, and his foundation is not stable.

The two are not on the same level.

There is absolutely no need for him to take Johnny Depp too seriously.

But these few guests who came today are a bit interesting.

In the office, Kevin looked at the three bald men from the San Fernando Valley in front of him, and after learning about their intentions, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

Chapter 127 The Dusty "Gold Mine"

The San Fernando Valley, as a sanctuary for the production of spiritual comfort for adults in the United States, is rarely mentioned in front of the public.

But their annual economic effect is as high as 40 billion.

And the annual output value of Hollywood is around tens of billions.

As it stands, the San Fernando Valley is a small grown-up version of Hollywood.

It's just that the San Fernando Valley belongs to the gray industry, and its social status and evaluation are not high.

After all, the actresses among them are not so easy to find, and many of them were forced by gang members through various means.

And these three people belonged to a relatively large film company in the San Fernando Valley.

The name may be unfamiliar to everyone, it is called Tianguo Film Company.

But the work, many people should be familiar with it, the famous Blonde Paradise series is produced by them.

In order to produce better works, they also went to Japan to invite professional directors.

to make better movies.

And now, they have something better to pursue.

That is, direct production of special editions of those blockbuster films.

For example, Pirates of the Caribbean, they can come to a different Pirates of the Caribbean, different actors, and different plots.

The best part is that even if the filming is mediocre, they are often not chased and scolded.

After all, their focus is still action, and the plot is only secondary.

As long as the actress is beautiful and has a good figure, male audiences can actually tolerate these aspects.

As for the plot, a little embellishment will do.

That way, they can differentiate themselves from other San Fernando Valley film producers.

At the same time, this is also a new attempt of their company.

Of course, there are ways to buy copyrights, and there are ways to not buy copyrights.

For example, the Tarzan of the Ape series is a typical copyright-free gameplay, but others still cannot sue them, and it cannot be said that Tarzan in Tarzan of the Ape does not wear clothes.

In their movies, male actors can't use the same plot without clothes.

It's just that you can't use this name to promote it openly.

...

Looking at the three people in front of him, Kevin confirmed again:

"You want to use 1000 million dollars to buy out the copyright of the 18-year-old version of Pirates of the Caribbean?"

The three nodded in succession.

Kevin hesitated for a moment before saying:

"The copyright can be given to you, no problem."

"But I'm curious why you have to pay such a high price to buy the copyright."

"You know the other studios in the San Fernando Valley are notorious for that."

Among the three, the short, fat, wretched man in the middle rubbed his hands together and said righteously:

"We are different from them. We, Tianguo Film Company, want to develop in a normalized way and take the road of high-level fun and high-level aesthetics."

"They don't care about copyright, but we can't."

Kevin rubbed his chin, pondering in his mind.

He didn't believe what these bastards said, who would put money away and engage in copyright, unless this behavior could earn them more money.

But that aspect is not an industry that Kevin can touch.

But in the future, Station P, it seems that Kevin can also get a hand.

These few people from the San Fernando Valley can get to know each other first.

These resources are also a very important part of the development of P station.

"There is no problem with these, but I want to know if your current film sales methods and shooting methods are okay."

"I'm also curious about these businesses."

Kevin looked on, I just want to know what the inside story of the industry looks like.

Let the three bald men show wretched smiles on their faces.

The San Fernando Valley is a holy place for American men, and there are not too many people who want to know the inside story.

Even Steve Kevin, a famous director, is still a man after all.

Among them, the short, fat, bald man introduced with a proud face.

...

Movies in the San Fernando Valley obviously cannot be shown on the big screen, in this era when the Internet speed is not enough to support smooth video playback.

The main sales method is DVD sales.

Various DVD stores, video rental stores, newspapers, etc. on the street are their sales channels.

On the other hand, they will also develop offline to help them sell DVDs in higher education schools in the United States.

Although it is not as fast as the big screen, but the income is continuous and very stable.

The boys in this class can only say that they understand everything.

DVDs of these things sell much better than DVDs of Pirates of the Caribbean.

The only problem is that it might not last as long as Pirates of the Caribbean.

After all, men always like the new and dislike the old.

Listen to the introduction of the three of you with one word and one word with me.

Kevin interjected:
