MGM

Kevin is like a gold mine at this point, and everyone wants a piece of it.

So did Harvey Weinstein.

Making money for two films in a row means that Kevin has this kind of strength, and the chance of his next film making money is also as high as 80%.

As long as he continues to make such low-budget horror films, the investment is never to worry.

Harvey Weinstein, watching Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema making big, big money, isn't greedy, that's a lie.

The purpose of coming to this party is to catch a ride on Kevin's next movie.

In the face of Harvey Weinstein's favor, Kevin didn't want to slap him in the face directly, but just retorted.

"Thank you!"

Kevin's refusal look doesn't stop Harvey Weinstein from taking advantage of him.

This is a business that costs tens of millions of dollars. Compared with this, what is the face.

Harvey Weinstein forcibly came to Kevin's side, and said earnestly with a picture of your own goodness:

"Kevin, you just entered Hollywood, it's been a while, you don't know some things."

"In Hollywood, the Oscars are the quickest way to become a great director."

Kevin nodded. Although he didn't like Harvey Weinstein, he also admitted that this statement made sense.

If there is no recognition of awards, if you want to become a great director, you need many classic works.

But if there is recognition by awards like the Oscars, there are two or three classic works, and if they are promoted through the media, he will immediately become a great director.

No, this can only be considered a guide.

A great director also means a great production.

Having said that, Kevin thought about his next work again.

He made up his mind to come to a big production at the upper middle level.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to get the recognition of big awards even if it is a big hit every day.

Seeing the change in the expression on Kevin's face, Harvey Weinstein was suddenly overjoyed and hit the railroad while it was hot:

"Work with me, Kevin."

"Miramax Films, with rich experience in award winning, can help you to the greatest extent possible to impact the Oscar for Best Director."

"..."

Just as Harvey Weinstein persuaded Kevin eloquently, MGM President Wright, dressed in a suit and an elite white dress, came to Kevin.

"Hello, Kevin, I'm MGM President Reiter!"

The white man's face was amiable, and his status was equally high in Hollywood.

Leiter completely ignored Harvey Weinstein beside him and said to himself:

"We can give you the conditions Miramax can give you, and we can give you the conditions they can't give."

Although Kevin didn't know Leiter in front of him, he knew that after 1993, MGM would change its president.

In other words, the current president of MGM may step down directly next year.

So, he came to him to save MGM's performance?

Harvey Weinstein grimaced as he watched the president of MGM cut his own dick.

To be honest, he was very angry about this situation, but MGM has a heritage that he can't match in Hollywood.

The former MGM, its lion logo, was once regarded as a symbol of the United States and created countless classics.

Even now, due to poor operations, it has led to a huge financial crisis.

However, the contacts and power accumulated over the years are still not something that Harvey can offend.

If nothing else, just go to Austria, he Harvey Weinstein spends a lot of money, but MGM can sell favors.

Julie, who was on the side, was very excited.

Whether it's Harvey or MGM, they are characters that she can't reach, and such characters are looking to Kevin for cooperation.

That's the charm of a director.

The status of stars in Hollywood is far worse than that of directors.

Compared with the status of a superstar like Xiao Lizi and a big director like Spielberg, they are far from each other, not to mention the average starlet.

Only by climbing to the top do you have a certain degree of autonomy.

And directors, as long as they have certain achievements, can become guests of major film companies.

The most important thing is that, as a director, you don't need to pay attention to any character design or any mess.

In the face of MGM CEO's favor, Kevin naturally won't offend him.

"It's an honor to be able to work with MGM, but I haven't come across a project that interests me yet, and it may take a while."

Kevin said politely.

After listening to Kevin's words, Harvey left angrily, while keeping this matter firmly in his mind.

"Director Kevin, MGM can directly provide you with more than $30 million in production funding, as long as you agree to let MGM invest in your next film."

Leiter directly opened his own conditions, an investment of up to 30 million US dollars, even if MGM fails to invest, it will still hurt.

Today's Hollywood studios, any studio, can't afford a loss of $100 million.

As a listed company, the success or failure of their films, and the stock will be implicated in each other.

Once a movie loses hundreds of millions of dollars, then the stock crash is immediately followed, and the consequences are very serious.

In the face of MGM's sincere approach, Kevin is really hard to refuse.

But the next movie, he really didn't think about it.

The original Ghost Rider was not suitable for shooting at this time.

Once it is filmed, if you want to acquire Marvel at that time, you will have to pay a huge price.

For other works, he still needs to think carefully.

At the same time, observe the viewing habits of the past two years, which type of movies is the most popular.

"Okay, when my next movie comes out, I'll contact you if necessary."

Kevin's words obviously could not satisfy him.

So far, Leiter has also offered his final conditions.

"Kevin, if you are willing to continue to sign a film contract with MGM after the success of your first film with MGM, the shareholders of MGM can give you a part of the shares for free."

A stake in MGM?

Kevin suddenly widened his eyes.

As a film industry practitioner, he still knows something about the history of MGM.

In the normal course, MGM will declare bankruptcy in 2010 and carry out asset restructuring.

Of course, it is not that no one buys it, but that the price cannot be agreed.

MGM wants to sell itself at a price of 5 billion US dollars, and the highest bid is not more than 3 billion US dollars, and it is not cash, but in the form of a share exchange.

But for Kevin, even if it's just $3 billion, it's still a huge amount.

To be honest, at this moment, Kevin was moved.
