Otherwise, it would be a little embarrassing to be asked by Kevin and directly say that he didn't watch it.

Kevin saw all their happy expressions, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking, it doesn't matter whether you see it or not, I'm sure I won't say anything because of this."

The Russo brothers sneered, a look that they thought too much.

In fact, he secretly thought in his heart, if I really want to say that, the ghost knows whether Kevin will wear small shoes for them in the future.

At the same time, they also decided in their hearts that in the future, when Kevin's new movie is released, no matter how busy they are, they should watch it immediately to avoid this kind of thing happening again.

Kevin certainly didn't know these thoughts of theirs.

Calling them here is because they are looking for something serious, and it is related to the follow-up of Spider-Man. Naturally, I have to ask them if they have seen Spider-Man.

Now that you've seen it, some things are easy to say.

Kevin said sternly:

"You've seen Spider-Man, and it's easy to say what happens next. I hope you can become the director of Spider-Man's sequel in the future."

Brother Russell, was shocked by this sudden surprise.

So far, their works worth mentioning are only one Pirates of the Caribbean TV series.

From a TV director to a director of a big production, it's a huge leap.

The younger brother Joe Russell said with an unconfident tone:

"Director Kevin, this..., I'm afraid our brothers are not capable enough to undertake this task."

The Russo brothers are still very awake, of course, it is also a kind of satisfaction for the current status quo.

Being able to become a TV drama director in a stable manner is actually a rare thing in the United States. Most of the directors' unions are directors who have no drama to film.

At present, their fundamentals are still not stable, so they rashly become directors of big productions. Once they fail at the box office, they don't know when they will be able to get a chance again.

So for Kevin's sudden idea of ​​wanting them to be the director of Spider-Man, they are also careful and careful.

The Russell Brothers answered prudently, which made Kevin sure that they could really take on this important task.

This continues:

"Of course not right away, the company has two big productions to start shooting, I'm going to arrange for the two of you to go to the two crews as assistant directors, and I'll let Schneider and Mitt try their best to impart more experience to you. "

"When you finish your training, come back to shoot Spider-Man, and I will arrange a small investment for you to practice."

"If this little production can surprise me, then"

Spider-Man's second film, Kevin is expected to start filming in 1999.

In the middle, there is still nearly a year and a half to train them, and Kevin feels that there is still plenty of time.

The director's profession, although the older the more fragrant, but in fact, most of the real famous directors have already made their debut when they are young.

Of course, this refers to the age of 30, in fact, it is not that young.

That is to say, when directors have all the experience they should have, what level their films should be.

As you get older, you may not be more powerful in this regard.

Directing is a profession that pays attention to talent.

Truck director Cameron, before he became a director, was just a truck driver.

But after self-taught director's experience, the first work showed amazing talent.

This makes those academic directors go where to reason.

In the future, the Russo brothers can direct so many Marvel blockbusters and get such a high box office, which proves that they have such strength.

Kevin is now just helping them discover their talents earlier.

"Thank you Director Kevin, then we will agree."

Kevin has said it all, and the Russell brothers naturally can't refuse.

If the small production fails, they don't have the face to be the director of the Spider-Man movie sequel.

If it is successful, then it is not impossible for such a big director to be one.

"Okay, the new movie is still in preparation, you can work on the second season of Pirates of the Caribbean first."

The work is arranged.

The two Russell brothers left.

It's time for Kevin's get off work-off time, five o'clock.

The driver and bodyguard were already waiting for Kevin in the company's parking lot.

On the other hand, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio reappeared in the nightclub.

At this time, Tobey Maguire was showing the girls in the bar a stunt of playing cards, just like a master of playing cards in a gambling movie. screaming.

"Leonardo, after the Titanic, did you have any appointments?"

Tobey Maguire asked casually.

"No, I played such a blockbuster, and now let me go to a general small production, I have no interest."

"I haven't been approached by a blockbuster recently. I really hope to be the leading actor in a movie directed by Steve Kevin like you."

As soon as these words came out, Tobey Maguire was somewhat guilty.

He stopped the cards in his hand and dispersed the girl.

Toby Maguire rubbed his head and said with a little worry:

"I don't know how Spider-Man's box office is going, and I have no relationship with the theater. I won't know until it's in the newspaper tomorrow."

"You don't have me."

Leonardo answered, and at the same time impatiently made a phone call and asked about his friends in the theater.

Chapter 240 Jewish Power

In a few words, Leonardo got the news he wanted.

Hanging up the phone, Leonardo's face was full of shocked expressions.

Looking at Leonardo's expression, Tobey Maguire asked:

"How about it, how much is the box office for Spider-Man on the first day?"

Leonardo didn't dare to believe:

"Sixty-eight million!"

Hearing this statistic, a great joy flooded Toby's heart, and the movie he starred in was a big sell.

As a member of Hollywood, he knew exactly what this first-day box office represented.

This means that he succeeded.

With this work, he will become a Hollywood superstar in one fell swoop from a second-tier actor.

The box office on the first day was close to 70 million US dollars, which is quite a bit of the momentum of Jurassic Park. It is no exaggeration to say that this year's annual box office champion has been booked by Spider-Man in advance.

Of course, this was under the premise that he did not know that the Titanic was about to perform miracles.

Toby Maguire, who was still a little worried in his heart, now seems to have taken a reassurance in his heart and let go of his heart.

Looking at Leonardo's envious look, Tobey Maguire comforted:

"Titanic may have better grades, but not necessarily. Just wait and go. During this time, you can play wherever you want, and I'll pay for it."

With the awareness that he is about to become popular, Tobey Maguire also has the confidence to undertake Leonardo's consumption at this time.

In addition to the three million salary that Spider-Man gave him, even if it was all spent, he would not worry.

There will be more money soon, and higher pay is waiting for him to earn.

Hearing his consolation, Leonardo put away the mood of worrying about gains and losses, and said with a wicked smile:

"Then I'm welcome. The luxury yacht will start in a month?"

"Walk!"

Tobey Maguire agreed in one go.

Spider-Man's box office data, under the attention of people who are interested, soon appeared on the tables of major film companies.

In the face of Spider-Man, who almost broke through $70 million on the first day, everyone could only envy, jealous and hate. Some of the movies that were originally scheduled to be released a week after Spider-Man were postponed.

Avoid the edge of Spider-Man.

Even if the box office is high on the first day, it is also quite good in the audience's word of mouth. Except that it is not very popular with film critics, all the data shows that Spider-Man is invincible in this summer season.

Whoever runs into who is unlucky.

And Steve Kevin's success again has made these film companies feel pressured.

There is only so much time in the summer season, and the market is so big, Steve Kevin eats the fattest piece when he comes up, and leaves some leftovers for everyone.

No one is happy with this.

To this end, major film companies have begun to think of countermeasures, and Kevin's operation started with IP and built a completed industrial chain, which has also been imitated by major film companies.

For this reason, the major bestsellers in the market, especially the bestsellers suitable for adaptation, have been targeted by major film companies.

･･･

the next day.

After a day and a half, Spider-Man's first-day box office data was reported by major media.

The media is a profession chasing popularity, and this summer, the most concerned entertainment media is naturally the release of Spider-Man.

The first-day box office of $67 million was the king's arrival, crushing all other films.

Steve Kevin's new work, a commercial blockbuster, with 70% of the film volume, is doomed to Spider-Man's invincibility.

In an ordinary movie theater, Spielberg and a friend are watching the Spider-Man movie.

His friend, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was meticulous even in this hot summer, looking like an old-fashioned middle-aged gentleman.

After watching the movie silently, the gentleman and Spielberg came to a restaurant.

After being seated, he said:

"Steven, what do you think of this young man's ability?"

Spielberg pondered for a while, and then said after organizing the language:

"He has a very keen business eye. Looking at his films, it is not surprising. In Hollywood, there are people who can make films of his level, not to mention many, a dozen or 20 people can still find them. "

"However, with the same film, at a similar level, his films can always achieve better box office results."

Spielberg's words are obvious, he doesn't quite recognize Steve Kevin's directing level. To put it bluntly, he is a qualified commercial film director.

But he still agrees with Kevin's vision. His definition of Kevin is a movie wizard.

Kevin can always find the audience's cool points, so as to shoot movies with high box office, which in itself is a manifestation of ability.

The middle-aged gentleman sighed:

"It's a pity, it's a pity he's not our Jew."

Spielberg nodded, also deeply regretful.

Because of the experience of persecution, the Jews independently developed a cultural concept of mutual assistance, which continues to this day as gangs.

This is true of Wall Street, and the same is true of Hollywood.

Throughout the top management of some film companies, and even some media groups behind the scenes, they all have Jewish influence.

Clearly, the Jews knew the importance of public opinion.

"Steven, arrange for some people to work in Dawn Films. I have a hunch that there will definitely be a place for Steve Kevin in Hollywood in the future. I hope he will not interfere with our purpose."

"it is good."
