Chapter 11

Since the real success, the feeling of pretending to be in school has disappeared in Kevin's heart.

Playing with a bunch of students is just insulting himself.

He is now dealing with executives of major film companies, and these students, even after graduation, do not experience a few years, it is estimated that they will not even meet those executives.

The status of the two is no longer on the same level.

Walking in the campus, from time to time a few very beautiful school girls suddenly approached.

Handed a few small notes to Kevin. The contents of the notes were basically the address, time, and phone number. Obviously, as long as Kevin wanted to make a phone call, these people would just lie on the bed and let him use it.

This made Kevin sigh that capitalism's pursuit of money is too strong and too straightforward.

However, these green shoots are not his thing.

Compared with them, Kevin prefers those glamorous Hollywood actresses.

Just when Kevin was enjoying being accosted by beautiful women, a woman came to him.

"Kevin, can we go back to the past?"

Kevin raised his head, only to realize that the woman in front of him was his predecessor's ex-girlfriend, Pera.

Looking at Pera's expectant eyes, Kevin just smiled slightly, he was not the Kevin in front of him.

With the character of a Chinese man, the most intolerable thing for him is betrayal.

Although he has no feelings for Pera, betrayal is betrayal, back to the past?

dream!

"Can a broken mirror be re-rounded?"

"We're done, Pella!"

Kevin got rid of Pera directly and walked out.

This trip back to school can be said to have handled his predecessor's affairs cleanly. From now on, he will focus on his career wholeheartedly.

Pera looked at Kevin in remorse. The reason why she came to find Kevin this time was very simple. She was deceived.

What that person told her heroine was just a lie.

To put it bluntly, although his father is an executive, as the son of an executive, he does not have such a big face to influence his father's decision.

After discovering this, Pera broke up with him decisively.

Or that they never started. Pera, who is proficient in green tea skills, can be said to be unable to cry without seeing the coffin.

How could it be possible for people to get cheap before it was clearly stated, this kind of realistic girl is also a very smart girl.

It's a pity that Kevin never talks about feelings with such a realistic girl.

This is not as good as Kevin in the entertainment industry and those female stars who have what they need.

….

Kevin stepped out of school and waved to stop a taxi.

As soon as I got in the car, I said directly:

"Go to Beverly Hills."

The driver was an honest-looking middle-aged white male. Hearing Kevin's words, he couldn't help but ask:

"Is it the Beverly Hills that is known as the most precious residential area in the world?"

"Yes, go to the Beverly Hotel in Beverly Hills and put it down for me."

The driver's face showed some envy. The status of Beverly Hills means that people who go there must be rich.

Otherwise, the cost of thousands of dollars is not affordable for ordinary people.

There was nothing to say along the way, but the driver wanted to chat a few words and listen to the private topics of those rich people for discussion.

It's a pity that Kevin is not interested in talking with him about this issue.

Coming to the Beverly Hotel, Kevin walked in directly.

The clothes on his body did not exceed two hundred dollars, and the whole body was covered with cheap goods. Kevin came to think that there might be something that the hotel waiter looked down on him.

Unfortunately, in reality, there are no such stupid people.

Seeing Kevin walk in, a handsome young man dressed in a suit and dressed in spirit walked over and asked politely:

"Hello, this is the Beverly Hotel. Do you have a reservation in advance?"

Kevin said with a little regret:

"It's pre-ordered, I'm Steve Kevin."

The waiter politely said:

"Your room number is 1211, please come with me."

Kevin followed the waiter's instructions and quickly came to room 1211.

After briefly introducing the device for calling the waiter in the room, the waiter quietly left here. Kevin looked at Beverly Hills outside the large French window and couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

Everywhere you look, there are many houses in the form of a large manor, and the cheapest one may cost tens of millions of dollars.

From the outside, each building feels comfortable.

The appearance alone contains the crystallization of the wisdom of the house designers.

A desire to buy.

Of course, Kevin will definitely not start now. According to his memory, before 2020, the United States will go through at least one or two financial crises.

At that time, he will be able to buy the property here at the cheapest price.

Buying now is to enter at a high position, is it not a blood loss.

The rent for the hotel is as high as $3,000 a night. If Kevin had not paid a small share from New Line Film Company in advance, he would definitely not be able to afford it.

Coming here, there is still one to two days before the party, and Kevin also started the choice of his next movie in his mind.

No way, the Beverly Hills real estate stimulated his desire to earn.

Let him know that he is now a very, very poor poor.

...

Outside, the box office of Chainsaw is still accumulating.

Influence is also growing day by day.

Unlike when it came out in 2004, Kevin's Chainsaw was treated much better.

Not only film reviews and paper media, but also the amount of screens released, follow-up publicity, and even schedules have huge advantages.

So, for Halloween 1991, Chainsaw achieved far better results than the original.

Chapter 18 The Beverly Hills Party

As of the 7th, that is, the total box office of the film for a week, reached a staggering total of 45.86 million US dollars.

That's a pretty good number, and following this trend, Chainsaw could be vying for a place on this year's top 10 box office charts.

And the movies on the list have the smallest investment of tens of millions of dollars.

Compared with them, the profit of Chainsaw is so high that I don't know where it goes.

In the industry, all the film companies know Kevin's name.

I don't know how many studios are looking for Kevin's location, trying to sign him for the next movie.

Of course, all this was temporarily stopped by Kevin Dawson.

For the next movie, he will still make a project plan in advance, and then release the wind, which will lead to internal battles between the film companies.

In theory, he is willing to continue to cooperate with the New Line Film Company. After all, the two sides of the cooperation this time are still relatively happy.

However, if other film companies offer better conditions, it is not impossible for him to agree.

After all, money is king in Hollywood.

Whoever offers a higher price will cooperate with whomever.

...

"Dong dong dong!"

CAA president Michael Ovitz knocked on the door of Kevin's room, where Kevin was well-dressed, of course, saying so.

In fact, Kevin did not spend an exorbitant price, and his whole body was only about 10,000 US dollars. This is what he took time to buy these two days.

Compared with those high-paying stars who wear clothes that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, he is already very common and frugal.

Kevin opened the door and smiled, and Michael Ovitz also said with a smile:

"Kevin, Shay is already ahead. Today we will take you to a party that belongs to Hollywood. Only by participating in this kind of party can you truly belong to Hollywood."

Michael Ovitz's words are of course exaggerated, but it also shows the importance of Hollywood parties in Beverly Hills.

This is where they talk business and make deals for flesh and blood.

Of course, don't think that the beauty of Hollywood can sweep everything.

Beauty is only a basic requirement.

After reaching this basic requirement, if you want to get a big production heroine or hero, you have to pay a lot of other things.

Angelina Jolie broke the news that after the actress got the chance to be the heroine, the plot of devoting herself to the producer, director, and investor is not false.

Of course, although Kevin is a handsome guy.

However, as a member of the top of the Hollywood food chain, what he enjoys is not the unspoken rules of others, but his unspoken rules of others.

This is also the biggest reason why Kevin went straight to Hollywood as soon as he came up.

To put it bluntly, career is one aspect, and yearning for Hollywood is another aspect.

Kevin, led by Ovitz, quickly met up with Shay.

The three took a car driven by Shay's driver and came to a manor.

The gate is heavily guarded and guarded to prevent entry from strangers as well as paparazzi and journalists.

A character who seemed to be the captain of the security came up to him and let the three of Kevin go in without hindrance.

Although he doesn't know Kevin, Ovitz and Shay are both familiar faces. With acquaintances leading the team, naturally no outsiders will enter.

The security let him in with confidence.

As soon as he entered it, Ovitz patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Enjoy yourself here. If you fancy a female star, go boldly. Believe me, they are more proactive than you think. Of course, you must tell them that you are the director of Chainsaw."

Ovitz had a smile on his face, and after instructing Kevin, he went to have fun.

Shay saw Ovitz leave, and said:

"Director Kevin, I don't know about your next movie, any news?"

Kevin smiled and shook his head:

"I just have a little idea, the specific plan, I'll talk about it after Chainsaw is off the shelves, but I'm going to invest a little bit in my next movie."

Shay looked at Kevin carefully, and then said with a smile:

"Of course, after your share is settled at the box office, I will instruct the finance to call you as soon as possible."

"However, under the same conditions, Kevin, you will definitely choose our New Line Film Company?"

Kevin smiled slightly.

"of course."

Shay nodded, scolded the little fox secretly, and then went to have fun.

Kevin watched Shay's back as he left, and then he wandered freely.

In the words just now, he made his meaning very clear, divided it into place, and then talked about the next opportunity for cooperation.

After some consideration, Shay still did not choose to turn his back on him.
