After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

All departments are operating at full capacity, as long as the box office of Batman and The Dark Knight can be slightly increased, it is worthwhile to work overtime day and night.

At the same time, in the face of this overtime work, no one complained.

The reason is simple, Warner Bros. is willing to give money.

The rewards are sufficient and everyone is motivated.

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

Others are working hard to promote the box office of The Dark Knight, and the director Steve Kevin also failed to escape.

Under the coordination of Warner, Kevin spent several days in a row and did several interviews on various TV programs on major TV media.

With the help of the Dark Knight movie, the ratings of these programs have increased significantly, and Batman has been further promoted, and Kevin has once again made a face in front of the crowd.

A few days later, when the hype had reached a point where it was beginning to be disgusting.

Kevin just took a break.

I have to say that on these occasions, Jim Carrey, Christian Bale and Milla Jovovich who went together are obviously more suitable than him.

Obviously, Kevin himself is not suitable to be in front of the stage.

..

In the villa, Kevin began to enter a crazy writing time.

In this working state, Helen and Emma, ​​who delayed his work the most, were temporarily dismissed by him with a sum of shopping money and asked them to go home and play for a few days.

Although the scripts he chose are all classic scripts that have been tested by the original history.

But the classic script does not mean that there are no problems.

After these hours of tempering, Kevin's overall level is much better than his previous life.

It has to be said that the directing talent of the original owner has been completely inherited by him.

Judging from his current eyes, what kind of things were the things he took in his previous life, they were purely fooling people.

In the words of the industry, the mainland market is too big, and people will watch any kind of bad movies.

This allowed him to successfully become a director.

Of course, there is no need to mention the past.

After some careful consideration, Kevin finally chose the script he wanted.

Looking at all of Kevin's movies, it can be found that Kevin has never touched love movies.

Rather, it is biased towards visual impact, action, and thriller.

The unified label of these films is commercial films, which have almost nothing to do with art.

The new film is also of this type.

His choice is exactly...

Chapter 138 The plan is completed

The Matrix!

That's right.

After some careful consideration, Kevin chose this movie.

In its original history, The Matrix was released and produced by Warner Bros. It was released in 1999 and achieved a global box office of 4.6 million US dollars after its release. This achievement is quite impressive as an original film.

Especially since it only cost $6300 million to make.

Even with the subsequent multi-million publicity costs, the total production cost does not exceed 7000 million.

This means that the first part of The Matrix alone has earned Warner more than 2 million U.S. dollars in revenue, not to mention the subsequent sequels and copyright DVD revenue.

With the future sure confrontation between Kevin and Warner.

Kevin can't wait for Warner to die.

He didn't hesitate to do this kind of drastic work.

The combination of these factors made him choose The Matrix without hesitation.

At the same time, this classic movie is absolutely right from Nicolas Cage.

As for Keanu Reeves, Kevin can only say sorry.

Although he also likes this actor, he still doesn't know him after all.

If we get to know each other later, he will just compensate Keanu for other movies.

...

Kevin immersed himself in creation, and another seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Kevin turned the movie in his memory into a script.

But this is only the first step.

The original Matrix, in fact, has many deficiencies.

The Wachowski Sisters...

No, the Wachowski brothers.

Too many philosophical elements are incorporated into the film, such as existentialism, structure and so on.

The direct consequence is that the Matrix has become extremely difficult for many viewers to understand.

The Wachowski brothers may not have figured out what they want to tell the audience in the movie.

However, Kevin's choice was to directly clear all the fog.

Keep the story simple.

The story of The Matrix, simply put, is the future world, where human beings are trapped in a virtual world by omnics as human flesh batteries.

And the protagonist, as a virus in the virtual world.

With the ability not to be discovered by the intelligence of the virtual world, he is also the only one who can save human beings from this virtual world.

From Kevin's point of view, this is a human disaster caused by an omnic crisis.

How human beings broke the situation and regained the human world from the hands of omnics is such a simple story.

And the first part tells the story of humans discovering the truth of the virtual world and launching a counterattack against omnics.

This is the story that Kevin's version of The Matrix wants to tell.

After figuring it out, the next thing for Kevin to do is very simple, to drastically delete some inexplicable and incomprehensible plots.

Add a little more action that audiences love.

The classic scene of dodging bullets, the hero gets the memory of kung fu from the brain and then defeats the enemy neatly.

Keep everything, and some scenes will be extended.

In this way, a brand new Matrix was completed.

In terms of the perfection of the film and the director's ability, Kevin is confident that his Matrix can blow up the Wachowski Brothers' Matrix.

Not that the Wachowski brothers' version of The Matrix was bad.

Here, an audience issue must be considered.

Kevin's version is the most popular version of Shuangwen, which has the largest audience, even if the quality is not so extreme, but Kevin is confident that the box office can blow up the Wachowski Brothers' Matrix.

Sometimes, there is no absolute relationship between film quality and box office.

Kevin has long realized this.

····

Three days later, Kevin with messy hair finally walked out of the villa.

In the past few days, what his bodyguards have to do every day is to bring him meals, and the rest of the time is basically equivalent to a short vacation.

Kevin made a phone call in advance, and the bodyguard drove over to pick him up.

I bought a brand new set of clothes in the mall, and at the same time, I took care of myself, and then called my two canaries to let them come back.

Only then did Kevin take the plan in his hand and headed towards [-]th Century Fox.

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

Inside Fox.

Many executives and presidents are all looking forward to the box office summary of Batman and The Dark Knight today.

As an investor who is about to reach a movie cooperation with Steve Kevin, in their view, the box office of Batman and The Dark Knight is the box office of the movies they cooperate with in the future.

Therefore, they can be said to be the people who care most about the Batman Dark Knight box office besides Kevin and Warner.

The employee in charge of data reporting came in, looked at the report in his hand, and after confirming that it was correct, he said clearly:

"Yesterday's Batman The Dark Knight box office in the United States was 300 million U.S. dollars in a single day, and the total U.S. box office so far is 8000 million U.S. dollars."

"Okay, got it!"

Davis nodded to show that he understood, and then waved the staff to go down.

Some executives couldn't hold back anymore, and said:

"President, let's go visit Director Steve Kevin. It's been more than half a month, and I don't know how his film project is progressing."

"Don't worry, Steve Kevin took the initiative to come to the door, which means that he really wants the copyright. Well, he will come to us naturally, there is no need to be so anxious..."

Davis replied calmly.

The female secretary Caitlin pushed the door open and said in a hurried tone:

"Director Steve Kevin, here we come with a proposal!"

Davis's originally calm expression suddenly changed, and he said eagerly:

"Take me to him quickly."

"Let's go too."

Other executives followed suit.

The female secretary nodded and led the way.

A group of Fox executives and presidents, led by the secretary, trotted all the way, almost making other Fox employees think that something happened.

Just like that, a group of people trotted all the way to the VIP reception room.

Looking at the posture of a group of people, Kevin knew that they were running over, and understood that they were in a hurry. Kevin didn't write any ink, and said directly:

"This is my proposal. Take a look. If you think there is no problem, we can sign the contract."

While speaking, he handed over the plan in his hand to them.

Davis took the plan and didn't rush to read it right away, but looked up at Kevin and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Kevin, the box office of Batman and The Dark Knight has exploded."

A smile appeared on Kevin's face. Although he was in seclusion, he read all the news that he should know immediately after leaving the seclusion.

Although it is indeed not as powerful as the original version, it has abandoned the influence of the times.

He didn't disgrace the name of this movie.

Congratulations to Davis.

Kevin also replied smoothly:

"The film project I came up with, in my opinion, is not inferior to Batman at all."

"It is also a good movie with both depth and commerciality."

As soon as this remark came out, the corners of the senior executives raised their lips.

Davis said a few words of courtesy, and ordered the female secretary to entertain Kevin, and then hurriedly left here with other executives, and went to Fox's department specializing in reviewing proposals...
