After the Marvel Acquisition, I Became the King of Hollywood

In the 1990s, he was reborn in the United States on the body of a genius director who was 23 years old. He had previously been a third-rate director. Since then, he has earned the titles of "King of Hollywood," "World's Greatest Director," and "The Boss of Marvel." As for his debut film, he went with Chainsaw, which tells the tale of a contemporary third-rate director who went to the American entertainment industry to cause trouble.

Kevin's Small Group

to successfully complete this plan.

"Yes, this project plan 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 have the same needs, please also ask them to come up with reliable movie plans."

Hearing Ovitz's words, some partners who were also in the middle and lower ranks showed jealous and envious eyes.

I was envious of Dawson's possibility of getting a heavyweight client, and I was jealous of why it wasn't me. At the same time, I also wondered in my heart whether I should go to USC to find some potential student directors.

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

...

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

Kevin's face couldn't help showing a headache.

As 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 is nearly $60,000.

If Chainsaw fails, the consequences can be imagined.

So this trip really can only succeed, not fail.

"Kevin, how is your project going?"

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

Seeing Mitt come in, a smile appeared on Kevin's face.

As the best school in the United States to train talents in the film industry, the students in it are more or less capable, especially those who played with his predecessor, the talented director Mitt.

Therefore, in addition to attracting Mitt, he also attracted some more capable students.

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

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

After adjusting his voice a little, Kevin said seriously:

"Did you tell them all about it!"

"Everything has been said, and they are all willing to participate in your graduation film."

Kevin's face was overjoyed. Although he knew they would agree, it is still worth rejoicing that the goal was finally achieved.

In this way, plus the other people packaged by CAA, he can have a certain say in the crew.

Otherwise, even if he is the initiator of the film project, in Hollywood, a film-making industry centered on filmmakers, it would be difficult for him to control the final appearance of Chainsaw.

You must know that SAW is a movie released by the talented director Wen Ziren in 2004. He moved the movie to 1991, which was inherently risky.

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

Therefore, after the investor is in place, he has to negotiate with the investor to a certain extent, and he can even give up the director's remuneration, so as to gain the dominance of the film and certain editing rights.

Of course, white labor is also impossible.

The copyright of Chainsaw is firmly in his hands, and he is not going to continue to make a sequel to Chainsaw, so this is his best way to sell it for a good price.

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

"Dudududu!"

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

"Hello, I'm Steve Kevin, please tell me anything."

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

Dawson's very pleasant-sounding voice came over the phone, and Kevin couldn't help but wonder if the investor had found it.

Hastily replied:

"Have."

"Well, the investors have been found. There are currently three film companies interested in your project. Come over and talk to them to see which film company will win the project."

"sure no problem!"

Kevin suppressed the excitement in his heart and hung up the phone.

"Is the investor in place?"

Kevin shook his head and said with a smile:

"There are three film companies that are interested in my project. I will wait for a trip to CAA to talk about which film company to choose."

Mitt nodded, equally excited.

It is a very rare thing to be able to get such a job opportunity right after graduating, although as the behind-the-scenes personnel of the film, their growth path is simpler than that of the director.

But such an opportunity also takes a few years to obtain.

Who doesn't want to be a staff member who can put their name on the movie screen in person, this is not only honor, but also money.

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

Of course, failure also has consequences.

However, the biggest failure of a movie is often the director, so they don't have to worry too much.

"I'll tell them the good news, Kevin, you can go."

After all, Mitt pushed open the door and hurriedly ran 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 people dressed in different costumes waved at Mitt who ran over and asked at the same time:

"Where's Kevin?"

Mitt laughed.

"He went to negotiate with the investor, and I will tell you the good news in advance."

"It's great, I knew Kevin could do it. He is a talented director. The short film Shuangtong directed by him has left a deep impression on the professors and has a lot of praise."

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

A black-haired fat man with a somewhat Asian appearance, but talking and talking in a typical American style, raised the beer channel in his hand.

The others raised their glasses to celebrate in advance.

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

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

The news that Cage's new film was funded quickly reached their ears.

Pera's expression became obviously a little stiff. She didn't expect that just after breaking up, her ex-boyfriend actually won the favor of investors and got the funding for the first movie.

In this way, in fact, she gained nothing from this breakup.

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