Chapter 4 Kevin's Small Group

To successfully complete the plan.

 "Yes, this project proposal is very complete. It seems that our partner Dawson has finally obtained a very potential client."

 Ovitz praised loudly.

 "Then next, I will find a way to advance this project. Everyone, if your director clients also have the same needs, please also come up with a reliable film proposal." Hearing what Ovitz said,

 some Partners who are also in the middle and lower levels all showed jealous and envious eyes,

 envious that Dawson might get a heavyweight client, jealous why not himself, and at the same time secretly wondering whether to go to USC to find some Potential student director.

 Of course, there are some dark thoughts that hope that Dawson's plan will fail in the end.

 Three days later, the University of Southern California, after completing the registration of the copyright of saw and joining the directors' union, looked at the empty wallet.

 Kevin couldn't help showing a headache expression on his face.

 In his predecessor, he used student loans to go to school. Don't worry if he hasn't graduated yet, but after graduation, the cost of studying for three years will be nearly 60,000 US dollars.

 If the chainsaw fails, the consequences can be imagined.

 So this trip really can only succeed, not fail.

 "Kevin, how is your project preparation going?"

 During the conversation, Kevin's roommate, the big photographer Mitt, came in and asked.

 Seeing Mitt come in, Kevin had a smile on his face.

 As the best school in the United States for cultivating talents in the film industry, the students in it are more or less genuine, especially those who play with his predecessor, the talented director Mitt.

 Therefore, in addition to wooing Mitt, he also wooed some more capable students.

 With him as the center, a fixed director team has been formed.

 This is to better control the crew, so as to shoot better works.

 After adjusting his voice a little, Kevin said seriously,

 "Did you tell them all about it?

 "

I knew that they would agree, but it is still gratifying that they finally achieved their goal.

 In this way, together with other people packaged by CAA, he can have a certain right to speak in the crew.

 Otherwise, even if he is the initiator of this film project, in Hollywood, a producer-centered film production industry, it is still difficult for him to control what the chainsaw will eventually look like.

 You must know that saw is a movie released by the ghostly director James Wan in 2004. He moved the movie to 1991, which already has certain risks.

 If you can't even control the presentation of the final film, it will greatly ruin the essence of the chainsaw movie.

 Therefore, after the investor is in place, he will have to negotiate with the investor. He may even not want the director's salary, so as to obtain the leading right of the film and certain editing rights.

 Of course, working for free is also impossible.

 The copyright of the chainsaw is firmly in his hands, and he is not going to continue filming the sequel of the chainsaw, so this is his biggest way to sell it at a good price.

 Everything is ready, what is lacking now is the negotiation with the investor.

 "Beep beep!"

 The Nokia phone in his pocket rang. Kevin quickly took out the phone from his pocket and pressed the answer button.

 "Hi, I'm Steve Kevin, what can I do?"

 "I'm Dawson, do you have time this afternoon?"

 Dawson's very pleasant voice came on the phone, and Kevin couldn't help guessing whether the investor had already been found.

 Quickly replied:

 "Yes."

 "Well, the investor has been found. There are currently three film companies that are interested in your project. You should come over quickly and talk to them to see which film company will take the money." Submit this project."

 "Okay, no problem!"

 Kevin hung up the phone while suppressing the excitement in his heart.

 "The investors are in place?"

 Kevin shook his head and said with a smile:

 "There are three film companies who are interested in my project. I'll go down to CAA and talk about it in detail, and see which film company to choose."

 Mitt nodded, equally excited.

 It is very rare to be able to get such a job opportunity when they just graduated, although as the behind-the-scenes personnel of the film, their growth path is a bit easier than that of the director.

 But such an opportunity also takes years to obtain.

 Who doesn't want to be a staff member who can leave their names on the movie screen, this is not only an honor, but also money?

 With a successful movie by your side, you can find a job better no matter where you go, and you can see your future.

 Of course, failure also has an impact.

 However, the most responsible person for a movie's failure is often the director, so they don't have to worry too much.

  "I'll tell them the good news right now, Kevin, you can go at ease."

 After that, Mitt pushed open the door and hurried towards the cafeteria.

 They had already made an appointment to eat in the cafeteria. If Kevin hadn't rushed to negotiate with the investor, he would have come over later.

 In the cafeteria, five young men in different dresses waved at Mitt who was running over, and asked at the same time:

 "Where's Kevin?"

 Mitt laughed.

 "He went to negotiate with the investor. I'm here to tell you the good news in advance." "

 Great, I knew Kevin could do it. He's a genius director. I was deeply impressed, and there are a lot of good reviews."

 "Yes, that's right, let's toast to the talented director, Kevin!"

 A black-haired man with a somewhat Asian appearance but a typical American style of speech and conversation, The little fat man held up the beer in his hand and said.

 Others raised their glasses and celebrated in advance.

 And their words quickly spread from the cafeteria to the entire school, along with the people in the cafeteria.

 At the school gate, Kevin's ex-girlfriend was walking into the campus holding his new boyfriend's arm.

 The news about Cage's new movie getting funding quickly spread to their ears.

 Pera's expression became a bit stiff. She didn't expect her ex-boyfriend to win the favor of investors and get the funding for the first movie just after they broke up.

 In this way, she actually got nothing from this breakup.

 You know, with Kevin's character, if she is still his girlfriend, the heroine of his movie must be herself.
