After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"Of course, we also reserve a few roles for ourselves. Specifically, you let them choose. Once they are selected, the rest will be released."

Except for Nicolas Cage, who was the default actor, Kevin didn't think about other candidates.

Originally, he planned to give the heroine to Julie or Hayek, but because The Matrix was a sudden plan, none of them had a schedule.

There is no way, Kevin can only take advantage of others.

Of course, although the few contracted artists of my company are not big.

However, Kevin did not treat them badly. In the previous films, he gave them supporting roles of varying roles.

It is guaranteed that they have at least a familiar face in the industry.

Even if he doesn't work in Chenxi Film Company in the future, with these qualifications, it is not difficult to make a living in Hollywood.

"Leave these things to me."

He has been the president for several years, and with the golden sign of Kevin, Dawson has reached the pinnacle of his life.

The president is also getting more and more comfortable.

Anyway, Kevin is guiding all the development routes, and he just needs to do things step by step.

The annual salary of hundreds of thousands per year, plus dividends.

Now it is approaching the pre-tax income of one million a year.

The proper rich class.

His family status has also become much higher now.

All of this made Dawson rejoice for his choice back then.

Kevin nodded.

Although Dawson does not have the ability to develop, he is quite qualified as a tool man, which helped him get rid of the heavy handling of things.

It is enough to grasp the specific development path of the company.

After arranging these things, Kevin left the company again.

After finally finishing his work, his pair of canaries were already in place in the villa.

There are no secrets in Hollywood.

Kevin just negotiated with Fox here.

The news leaked out immediately.

Some film companies that have no business relationship with Kevin can only watch with envy and hatred as Fox, a company, cooperates with Kevin to make money.

Only greedy.

Chapter 142 Cage: "Can I afford the box office?"

But mutterings were once again within MGM and Warner Bros.

MGM, as one of Kevin's properties, was quite dissatisfied that Steve Kevin only gave them the investment rights to the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, but the new movie did not have their investment rights.

The employees at the middle and lower levels all muttered to themselves.

However, the top management is still as stable as Mount Tai. They are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Kevin to acquire MGM.

On the other hand, Warner's opinion is quite different.

For a long time, Steve Kevin and Warner Bros. have been very happy to cooperate, so Warner Bros. has not tampered with Steve Kevin's salary and follow-up income.

You know, this kind of behavior is rare in Hollywood.

Unless it is the cooperation of two large peers.

Otherwise, it is not uncommon for the director's income and box office to be cheated.

But now, Kevin isn't ready to continue working with Warner.

This···

There is an opinion gradually emerging among Warner, that is, the arrears of the investment share of the Batman series, as well as the follow-up income, no matter how you want to look at the specific attitude of Steve Kevin, and then decide how to arrange this part of the income.

Outside, the influence of Batman and the Dark Knight is growing.

Influenced by Batman and The Dark Knight, some fanatical fans dressed up as Batman or the Joker to watch the movie.

Let the box office of Batman and The Dark Knight appear extraordinarily long-lasting.

Not only that, but also promoted countless people to buy DVDs on Batman Dark Knight, which drove the follow-up income on Batman Dark Knight.

But these actually have little to do with Kevin. His contribution to the box office has already done what he can.

The next thing, it's Warner Bros.'s.

At this time, in his own villa, Kevin and Cage were enjoying the coolness of the swimming pool.

.....

"Cage, you just filmed Leaving Las Vegas, when is the file scheduled?"

Cage lay lazily in the swimming pool, taking some food from the floating tray on the swimming pool and throwing it into his mouth from time to time.

It is September and the weather is still hot, and the icy swimming pool is the best way to cool off.

Hearing what Kevin said, he said lazily.

"It's none of my business. As an actor, my responsibility is to perform the movie well. As for the rest, it's the director's and the film company's business."

..

"Kevin, open your mouth."

Hearing Helen's words, Kevin opened his mouth.

Helen picked an orange and fed it to Kevin's mouth.

"Hmm~~, not bad, quite sweet."

Leaning against the pool, Kevin took a bite of Helen's peeled orange before continuing the conversation:

"The plan has changed. Now I have a commercial blockbuster, and I am short of a leading actor. Do you want to come?"

A lead actor in Steve Kevin's new movie.

If this news is released, any actor will be crazy about it.

If Chainsaw and Get Out are still not popular, then Mission: Impossible, Pirates of the Caribbean and Batman and The Dark Knight are the first-class popular movies.

Pirates of the Caribbean made Johnny Depp, who was originally only a second-tier player, and one of the poorest of the second-tier players, become a superstar.

Although it is only a superstar in the series, it still makes the eyes of countless actors turn red with envy.

If Steve Kevin wants to unspoken rules, I don't know how many people are willing to take the initiative to come to the door.

Mission: Impossible is equally powerful. Tom Cruise, who is already very popular, has reached a new level through Mission: Impossible.

As for Batman The Dark Knight, it's even more exaggerated.

Jim Carrey, who was originally considered to be the king of comedy, gained public recognition through his interpretation of the clown.

Now it is recognized by the public as an acting school. This level of cognition has made Jim Carrey completely boarded the throne of Uranus superstar.

Now no matter what film company invites him to make a movie, the salary starts at 2000 million, and even the box office share is added.

In terms of status, it is already among the top ten most popular in Hollywood.

And it is also the only comedy superstar who has completely broken through the existence of people's discrimination against comedy.

The status among comedians is even more directly enshrined.

The most direct manifestation is that when those comedians mentioned Jim Carrey in jokes or on talk shows, they were no longer jealous or ridiculed.

Instead, it was replaced by envy, and at the same time proud of Jim Carrey.

This means that Jim Carrey has transcended the realm of ordinary comedians.

As for Christian Bale, there is no need to say more.

A small third-tier star has become a first-tier star.

Batman, The Dark Knight, has not yet been released, and countless film appointments have already come to the door.

The remuneration reported to him was as low as 800 million US dollars.

The highest even reached 500 million US dollars.

Christian Bale, once again tasted the taste of popularity.

And Milla Jovovich, also needless to say.

From an unknown actress in the third tier, she has become a first-tier actress in Hollywood.

Of course, in Hollywood in this era, the status of female stars and male stars is very different.

Christian Bale's salary fluctuates from $800 million to $500 million.

And hers was only $500 million to $800 million.

They are both first-line movie stars, but their salary is very different.

But Milla Jovovich is already very satisfied, as far as this is concerned, many Hollywood actresses can't envy her.

Facing Kevin's invitation, even Nicolas Cage couldn't refuse.

In Hollywood, an eternal principle is followed, that is, commercial films come first.

Don't look at Hollywood bragging about art, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that many of them accept art films because they can't get commercial blockbusters.

Including the Oscars, it is also because it has a huge effect on DVD sales that it has been praised by filmmakers to its current status.

If the audience doesn't buy it, the Oscars are still useless.

Nicolas Cage, although he prefers movie roles with complex and three-dimensional characters in his heart, but he will not refuse if a commercial blockbuster is looking for him.

He needs money.

Just looking at the messy collection in his villa, you can see how much money he can spend.

Kevin understands this very clearly.

Nicholas Cage, a full collector, has a lot of hobbies, such as dinosaur skull fossils, luxury cars, jewelry, artwork, airplanes, yachts, castles, and islands.

Apart from all kinds of strange things, these things have one thing in common.

That is expensive.

Ninety percent of Cage's salary was invested here.

"Come."

"However, if I'm the leading actor, can I support the box office?"

If it were another director, Cage would certainly be very confident.

Currently in the art film market, he is still very popular.

In addition, the cost of art films is not high, often he can make the film recover the cost or even make a small profit.

But it was the first time for Kevin to invite a real commercial blockbuster.

He worried that he couldn't support the box office of Kevin's movie.

Chapter 143 Jennifer Connelly

Kevin laughed.

Of course he understood what Cage meant, but he was afraid that the performance would fail and that Kevin's undefeated reputation at the box office would be lost to him.

As a friend like that, Cage was embarrassed.

But for this, Steve Kevin is more confident than Cage.

Although Nicolas Cage at this time has not proved his box office appeal by playing a big-budget commercial film.

But Kevin does.
