Kevin, this is our plan."

Kevin was resting in the simple room.

This kind of field shooting, the conditions are naturally incomparable with the studio.

Fortunately, the crew has money, so it won't be too harsh on the crew members.

The accommodation is average, but in terms of food, as well as movement, I didn't save any money.

After taking the plan handed over by the two, Kevin checked it carefully.

This is an investment project worth 200 million yuan.

It took an hour to carefully consider all the details of the two plans, and after confirming that they were correct, Kevin nodded and said:

"The project is good, you can go back and ask Dawson to make a payment."

After all, Kevin signed the two plans, indicating that he approved the two projects.

Seeing Kevin's action, the two were relieved.

These two films will be a brand new starting point for their directorial career, and the future will start from here.

Seeing how happy the two were, Kevin said again:

"I am the producer. Every once in a while, I will check the use of funds and the progress of the filming. I must catch up with next year's summer vacation."

It's almost October now, and there's still about half a year left.

If it is Kevin himself, with the movie memory of the previous life as a reference, then this time is still very generous, but the time spent on the production of special effects is the most.

But with these two directors, Kevin is really not sure if they can keep up with the schedule.

But Mitt and Zack Snyder are confident.

"Leave it to us Kevin."

Kevin rubbed his head, and the more he looked at the two guys, the less confident he became.

"You two, don't be overconfident, this is a big production."

Mitt patted his chest and said:

"Trust me, Kevin, he has been an assistant director for so many years. Watching you shoot, you can learn it."

Schneider also said on the side:

Although these two guys are very confident.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Kevin decided to study with them for a day.

The past life, the advantages of these two films, and their careful analysis.

As for those excessive plots, that's not the point.

As long as they can grasp the essence of commercial films and the selling points of the two films explained by Kevin, Kevin is not worried at all about the box office.

Looking at the confident two, Kevin smiled and said:

"Don't leave today. I'll explain to you these two movies. If it were me, how would I make them."

"Listen carefully, don't change your appearance!"

Mitt and Schneider suddenly looked at each other.

After listening to Kevin's explanation, when the time comes to shoot, it will be difficult to completely integrate their ideas.

No way, Kevin's prestige is too high.

Once Kevin explained the method of shooting, they only had to take one shot and it would definitely be compared to what Kevin told.

And in their thinking, it's hard to compare with Kevin.

Then you can only go according to Kevin's ideas.

The two who were still ready to show their skills suddenly turned into bitter faces.

But this is not without benefits, that is, having Kevin teach him everything can guarantee the success of the movie to the greatest extent.

They understand that success is the most important thing, rather than shooting on their own terms.

When their prestige in the film industry is high enough to bear the cost of film losses, it is time to consider letting themselves go.

Just like Kevin.

If it is Kevin, even if the next three major productions hit the street, they will still be able to find investors.

But with the two of them, I am afraid that a big production will fail, and they will immediately start to accumulate qualifications from low-cost movies.

In this way, the three of them lived in the same room, and Kevin, like a teacher, revealed all his thoughts and thoughts.

The two of them took notes in half a notebook.

This can be considered as digesting Kevin's shooting ideas for Ghost Rider and Iron Man.

The next day, the two left early.

Kevin continued to shoot here, and at the same time, the future Hogwarts amusement park was still under construction.

Chapter 252 The Titanic Released

・・・

Time flies to December.

Advertisements for the Titanic were broadcast across the United States.

As a commercial film focusing on love, the focus of marketing is naturally also on love.

Many are similar to:

[Want to witness the love that lasts forever? Then come see the Titanic! ]

[Titanic, an earth-shattering love story, based on real events, is worth watching. ]

[...]

This kind of brainwashing propaganda about the Titanic is constantly being swiped on the major media.

To this end, Paramount and Fox teamed up to announce an additional 10 million investment.

So far, it's a broken jar.

They have already invested more than 200 million US dollars, and the publicity expenses of 10 million are not bad.

Although Fox is not very optimistic about this movie, these investments cannot be wasted. Now it is possible to deceive a few people into the movie theater.

Including learning from Kevin's promotional video, Fox is not left behind at all.

Under this publicity, the Titanic's largest audience, young men and women, as well as many women, have become interested.

Love movies, for women over the age of sixteen, to the unlimited age, have huge lethality.

But men, once past the age of twenty-five, tend to be less naive.

Men are always under greater pressure in society.

This is the difference between production relations and physiological structure.

Of course, in fact, the Titanic, getting women, is equivalent to getting men.

After all, this kind of love movie is often seen by couples.

Recognized by female audiences, male audiences were forced to enter the cinema.

As for whether they like this kind of love movie or not, it doesn't really matter at all.

Under such a propaganda trend.

The Titanic has entered the eyes of more than 90% of his target group.

The time comes to December 19th.

Kevin gave the crew a rare long vacation, ten days.

One is to let them spend Christmas, and the other is the release of Harry Potter, so there is no such hurry.

According to the summer schedule, Ghost Rider will be released in June.

Iron Man is in charge of July.

As for Kevin's Harry Potter, Kevin is ready to put it in August.

So far, next year's summer season has been completely occupied by films invested by Kevin.

Just thinking about it, Kevin knows what kind of pressure he will face when these three movies are released.

Previously, a maximum of two months occupied a year, and in fact, it was only the first half month of the release that put pressure on other film companies.

In other words, Kevin also won a one-month schedule in one year.

There are still a few such directors in Hollywood.

Spielberg, for example, is also very powerful.

But if Kevin is like this, one person wraps up the summer vacation, and the follow-up will definitely attract counterattacks from major film companies.

Of course, it is impossible for Kevin to give up the great summer schedule because of this.

It can only be said that when the time comes, the soldiers will stop.

After all, there is still more than half a year, and there is still plenty of time, so there is no need to rush.

He has already made a name for himself, not the little director who needed to work hard for opportunities back then.

Second, Kevin also wanted to take a look by the way. This box-office miracle is number one in film history.

What is the charm.

Although he is in the entertainment industry, Kevin is a typical engineering male.

Movies, for him, are not so-called art.

It is a technology that stimulates the senses through pictures and entertains the public.

In Kevin's thinking, there is no concept of love.

He also wanted to see the legend of the Titanic.

Of course, there is one more important thing.

It's Tsui Hark's new movie.

Tsui Hark wanted to write a fairy-tale movie about love, using the elements of Shushan, but strengthening the elements of love.

Simply put, it is a love movie with Shushan skin.

To this end, Kevin specifically asked him to take a look at the Titanic for himself.

The concept of love in China and the West is different. If Tsui Hark used the elements of oriental love, then the box office failure of the movie is very likely.

Kevin had to make sure Tsui Hark knew the Western concept of love well before he could start filming.

No way, although the main director of Shushan is Tsui Hark, the core is controlled by Kevin.

It is a Western concept of heroic salvation.

Seemingly incomprehensible pressure.

This has also set off a wave of fairy tales in the United States.

But if Tsui Hark is allowed to operate and play some connotation, Kevin is sure that the box office will be finished.

Facing Kevin's invitation, Tsui Hark also readily accepted.

Titanic, but a masterpiece with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars.

To be honest, this is a cost that Tsui Hark could not even imagine.

When I was in Hong Kong, it was normal to invest several million Hong Kong dollars in a movie.

Anything that can cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is considered a big production.

And between Hollywood, it is the difference between heaven and earth.
