A third-rate director in his previous life, he was reborn as a 23-year-old genius director in the United States in the 1990s.

Since then, titles such as the king of the Hollywood box office, the world's greatest director, the major shareholder of MGM, and the behind-the-scenes boss of Marvel have all been added to him.

And his first movie, he chose Chainsaw…

Well, it's a story about a modern third-rate director who crossed over to the American entertainment industry to stir up trouble.

Chapter 1 The Talented Director of USC

1991, Los Angeles, USA.

The University of Southern California, also known as the University of Southern California, is the most famous school of film arts in the United States.

This school has sent a series of film industry talents such as directors, editors, and photographers to Hollywood.

In the school, on the playground at this time, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women were talking about something under the onlookers of countless people.

"Kevin, let's break up."

The top green tea-faced Pera said coldly, looking at Kevin's handsome face in front of her, she felt somewhat regretful in her heart.

Steve Kevin, an orphan, a genius as a director, his short films have been praised by countless professors in the school.

Such a genius, in a sense, has a promising future.

For such a potential man, she should never have given up anyway.

pity····

Pera glanced at the man who was surrounded by the crowd and cast her admiring eyes on her, and returned a sweet smile.

No matter how talented he is, he is always just a potential stock.

In USC, there are quite a few directors named as geniuses every year, but 95% of them end up failing.

The reason for all this is simple, Hollywood doesn't accept losers.

They only have one chance.

As a rookie director, it is too difficult to succeed in the first film.

If Kevin is not an orphan and his family has money, then even if he fails, the family can still give him more opportunities.

But as an orphan, it was very difficult for him to raise funds for his first film, let alone other issues.

And if that man, the son of a Hollywood Fox executive, can accompany him, the success rate of his desire to become a big star will be greatly increased.

Especially the man who promised him not long ago that as long as he was with him, he would be able to get the position of the heroine of a low-budget movie.

Thinking of this, Pera's heart became more determined.

…

Looking at the foreign woman in front of him suddenly saying the breakup, Kevin's face was stunned, and a memory suddenly appeared in his mind at this moment.

His name is Chen Daoxuan, and he is a young director in 2020.

In my memory, in order to get money to make a new movie, he accompanied the investors to drink a lot of wine in KTV, and finally got drunk in KTV.

In the last scene after being drunk, he could only say one sentence, so big and so white.

That's right, the heroine is so big and white.

There is no need to say much about the relationship behind it.

How could he suddenly come to this group of foreigners.

Unsure of all this, Chen Daoxuan, who was anxious to get rid of the current situation, nodded involuntarily and spoke English in his mouth.

"it is good!"

...

Three days later, in the dormitory.

Steve Kevin finally sorts out what happened and where he is now.

He, Chen Daoxuan, was a third-rate director in China in his previous life.

He, Steve Kevin, was a genius in the eyes of USC professors.

The memories of the two were intertwined to make him.

Of course, although he has two memories, it is mainly Chen Daoxuan.

However, in the United States, he certainly cannot use the name Chen Daoxuan.

Therefore, from now on, his name will be Steve Kevin.

"Kevin, are you okay?"

The one-meter-eight giant man on the side asked with concern.

Since three days ago, Steve Kevin has become dull since he was separated by Pera.

He didn't like to talk, so he just lay in bed quietly for three days.

It's hard to keep him from worrying.

"Thanks, I'm fine, I just figured something out."

"By the way, Mitt, do you want to complete the graduation project with me?"

A smile appeared on the strong man's face:

"Of course, we are the best partners!"

Kevin also had a smile on his face.

In the past three days, he didn't say a word. In addition to sorting out two memories, he was thinking more about his future path.

He was a director in past and present lives, and the path he chose in this life is also a director.

What he wants to do is become a great director like Steven Spielberg.

This also means that he must continue to be successful in the film industry.

For directors, the real success is not in any artistic awards.

But at the box office.

No matter how many art awards, if three consecutive films fail, no one would dare to invest any more money in him.

But as long as the box office has been successful.

Through this status, he can expand his contacts step by step, earn money and gain status.

The first step is to complete a perfect graduation project.

That is, a movie.

That's right, Kevin's goal is directly at the movies.

The normal growth path of a director may be from editing, photography and other work, and then the assistant director and director grow up step by step.

And such a road, normally, it takes at least five to ten years to get ahead.

He doesn't have time to wait for the hardships to end, and the memory in his mind is only available for thirty years. If he can't achieve high enough status and money within these thirty years, it means that in his mind The memories of those prophets will all be lost.

Such an opportunity is in front of him, how stupid he would be if he missed it.

After agreeing with my roommate and partner on the goal of completing the graduation project together.

Kevin immediately started the retreat, picked up a pen and paper, and recalled in his mind which movie to choose.

As a student who has not yet graduated, even if he has a certain reputation in the school, he is unknown outside the school.

This also means that it is difficult for him to pull large investments.

Therefore, a low-budget movie became his choice.

Among the low-cost and easily upset movie types, Kevin instantly thought of horror movies.

Blood and **** are the two most eye-catching things, and horror movies are undoubtedly the perfect themes that combine the two.

But today, what Kevin wants to choose is not a tertiary film in the shell of a horror film, but a real classic horror film.

[Chainsaw Horror]

As a classic horror film produced by Lionsgate, he is familiar with all the plots, layouts, and shooting techniques of the film.

This is also the way that many directors learn, that is, to analyze the shooting method step by step for some movies, and analyze the picture frame by frame.

In his previous life, the Chainsaw Horror was undoubtedly one of his key analysis.

But before everything starts, all he needs to do is make a detailed project plan.

Hollywood movies have never been art, but the film industry.

This also means that if he wants to pull investment, a project plan that looks feasible is essential.

Chapter 2 CAA and the Chainsaw Project Proposal

Two days later, Steve Kevin finally walked out of the school with his project plan.

It is different from Chinese education.

American education, extremely loose.

It is very common to learn things in middle school and even high school in China, but the United States will not start learning until university.

Of course, Kevin knows it's all an illusion

It is an illusion that confuses the lower classes.

Those middle-class people, on the surface, support loose education, but they don't take any remedial classes behind their backs.

The purpose is naturally very simple, to exclude most of the competitors for their children.

From this point of view, those who can be admitted to the University of Southern California generally have a good family.

And there is only one reason for orphans like Kevin to be admitted to the school.

That's his grade.

The logic behind it is actually easy to understand. A genius from a commoner like Kevin is the face of the school.

Part of the admission is also accepted every year.

And those middle-class people are the foundation of the school.

After taking a penny out of his pocket and stuffing it into the bus, Kevin quietly came to a few kilometers away, under a building.

This is the creative artist agency, many people may be unfamiliar.

But it's another name, it can be said to be famous.

CAA, the world's number one brokerage firm.

The big names they have served include film stars such as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, and music stars such as Madonna, Beyoncé Knowles, and Justin. .

Kevin came here to find his agent.

That's right, his body was signed with a CAA agent very early on.

Step into the CAA building.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

The long and very beautiful big girl at the front desk asked kindly.

Kevin nodded:

"I made an appointment with my agent Dawson…"

Kevin glanced at his watch and continued.

"Just ten o'clock."
