MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 17
No way, he was very interested in the director Kevin.
In his bones, Kevin is a very proud person, so proud that in order to prove himself, he is reluctant to borrow a little bit of his uncle's connections.
As for his uncle?
The famous Francis Coppola, the director of The Godfather.
The Coppola family, which has been rooted in Hollywood for a long time, naturally does not need to say much about the power of connections.
As long as Nicolas Cage uses his real name Nicolas Coppola in Hollywood, there will be many more opportunities out of thin air.
But there is still a word, proud of him, unwilling.
Genius like him and pride like him, he was still overwhelmed by Kevin's conversation.
Of course, it's actually an achievement.
The first film received a huge box office estimate of 160 million, and the investment was only 1.3 million US dollars.
This made Kevin have a little admiration for this little brother who was about 3 years younger than him.
"Well, this pineapple pizza is good, but Cage, you must not show this in front of the Italians."
"Otherwise, there will be extremely serious consequences."
Kevin grinned while enjoying the pineapple pizza.
"My favorite thing to do is say, no, to someone who won't let me do something."
Chapter 27 The Shooting of Escape from the Dead Town
Kevin looked embarrassed. He didn't expect Cage to say such a social quote.
Seeing this, Kevin also unceremoniously took a piece of the sliced pizza and ate it.
Lying on the sofa, Kevin asked casually:
"Cage, don't you have any movie appointments recently?"
Kevin shook his head and said:
"I've been off for almost a year this year, and I'm not interested in the movies that come to me either with too low pay or too bad script."
"Do you want to come to my commercial blockbuster next year?"
"Aren't you filming the escape from Breakthrough?"
Cage wondered why.
Kevin took a bite of the pineapple pizza, tasted this special food that is equivalent to the pineapple stuffing in dumplings for Chinese people, and said slowly;
"I'm talking about the next work after Escape from Breakthrough."
"Escape from the Dead Town is just a small investment work, and the plot is not complicated. Two months is enough."
"There is still more than half a year, and I will open another one."
Kevin just laughed and didn't take it too seriously.
"Okay, I'll just send the script directly when the time comes."
Kevin nodded, and the work in his mouth was referring to the Ghost Rider in Marvel's works.
If nothing else, the first Ghost Rider movie did bring good memories to Kevin, and it was considered a cool commercial blockbuster.
The image of Cage's Ghost Rider in the film has always been in his mind.
However, he only suddenly had this idea after seeing Cage. Specifically, after escaping from the town, he will carefully investigate where the copyright of Ghost Rider is and whether the current special effects can be used. Accomplish Kevin's needs.
You must know that Ghost Rider was released in 2002, and there is a ten-year gap in special effects technology from now.
Whether it can be done, he is not sure.
..........
Christmas is here.
After Julie left for a few days, saying she was going home for Christmas, and after giving Julie tens of thousands of dollars, Kevin enjoyed a few days of single life in his mansion.
Kevin is ready to start work three days after Christmas.
Although he still has more than 10 million US dollars left, money is not too much.
Especially in his plans, there are many plans for using money.
"Ding dong!"
Kevin opened the door with some confusion.
A woman rushed directly to her face.
"Kevin, long time no see."
It was Salma Hayek who was speaking. During Kevin's free time, Salma Hayek got a lot of roles, although the heroine of Chainsaw was more like a supporting role and was not convincing.
But the female number two can still win.
To this end, Dawson can be considered hard enough.
After learning that Kevin spent Christmas alone, Salma Hayek decided to give him a surprise.
"Hayak, long time no see."
Kevin responded with a smile, as the first woman after his rebirth, Salma Hayek still left a deep impression on him.
After a hug, Salma Hayek continued:
"I saw you spend Christmas alone, and I came to accompany you on purpose."
A smile appeared on Kevin's face. Although he did not feel lonely as outsiders imagined, he was still very happy to have someone to spend Christmas with him.
"Ding dong!"
Kevin was about to say something when the doorbell rang again.
Salma Hayek took the initiative to walk to the door and open the door.
"Kevin, I'm here to spend Christmas with you... Who are you?"
Angelina Jolie happily appeared in front of the door with a smile and a large bag of things, but she chose to leave a few days ago with the feeling of surprising Kevin.
Just to surprise Kevin today.
Unexpectedly, when the door was opened, she herself felt frightened.
A strange woman appeared in Kevin and her villa.
Her vigilance instantly reached the highest point.
"Salma Hayek, the heroine of Chainsaw."
Salma Hayek stretched out her hand generously and shook hands with Julie.
After listening to her self-introduction, Julie immediately knew that the woman in front of her was probably the one who accompanied Kevin before she appeared.
But since she has successfully ascended the throne, it is naturally impossible to leave so easily.
Seeing this, Julie put down the things in her hand and said generously:
"Angelina Jolie, the model, the heroine of Kevin's next movie."
From Kevin's point of view, the moment the two shook hands, there was a gleam in their eyes, and an atmosphere of conflict that could break out at any time permeated.
"Don't you give me Christmas? Why don't you hold your hand..."
Kevin decisively chose to interrupt the conflict between them and said with a smile.
The two daughters stopped the conflict temporarily, smiled and accompanied Kevin for Christmas.
Two days later, after in-depth exchanges, the two women reached a settlement agreement without Kevin's knowledge.
The only thing Kevin knew was that the two daughters never had any conflict in front of him, and they each chose a room of their own in the villa.
And between these two days, the two daughters accompanied him for one night.
Kevin, who is willing to be a scumbag, is naturally lazy to figure out the relationship between them. Anyway, in Kevin's opinion, if they are willing to accompany him, he will naturally not treat them badly.
Kevin will never give other people the roles that he can give them.
This is what Kevin can do, other things, Kevin doesn't want to think so much.
No way, he is such a scumbag.
.....
Texas, in a remote classical town.
Due to the sparse population, the lack of maintenance of the lawn, as well as some green plants, appeared in the camera, with a special eerie feeling.
A crew of fifty or sixty people, including actors, came to the town like this. As a well-known director, Kevin's arrival was warmly welcomed by the town mayor.
Of course, the biggest reason was that the crew had to pay for the filming of the houses of residents in the town, and after the filming was over, they would donate another sum of money to the town's public funds to maintain the town.
If you have money in your account, it's hard not to welcome it.
That's the reality.
......
"ready, go!"
Sitting in front of the camera, Kevin made a gesture, and someone immediately started a reminder for the hero and heroine before the show, and the two entered the state instantly.
In the first scene, Kevin did not disrupt the rhythm, but started directly from the real first act in the film.
As for the prelude to create a strange atmosphere, he put it in the back.
Chris (Will Smith), a black guy, went to his white girlfriend's house to meet his father-in-law with great joy. The black guy was very honored to have a beautiful white girlfriend like Ruth (Angelina Jolie). .
Chapter 28 Filming is over
You must know what it was like in the 90s for a black man to marry a white woman in the United States, only black people can understand.
At this time, the discrimination of whites against blacks was much more severe than in later generations.
This is also the reason why Kevin chose this movie. The power of this movie at this time is more powerful than that in later generations.
........
Kevin led the filming in a small town in Texas, and on the other side, New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. were not idle either.
Unlike Chainsaw, the current Kevin, after the release of Chainsaw, already has a certain reputation in the outside world.
At least among horror movie lovers, it has a certain reputation.
Because of their love and admiration for the jigsaw, those fans also have a partial admiration for Kevin, the creator of the jigsaw.
As a result, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema have begun pre-publicity campaigns for Get Out.
Of course, before the official release, it doesn't need too much force, it just needs to let the consciousness of the masses know that there is such a movie.
In this regard, they laid out in the paper media in advance and disclosed the news to the outside world.
[Escape from Breakthrough Town: A black young man was brought into a terrifying desperate situation by a white girlfriend. He was devoured as a lamb to be slaughtered, or he stood up to resist and killed those white people who regarded him as a meal on the plate… ·】
This is propaganda from the content of the movie itself, of course, the whole is ambiguous, only revealing part of the essence of the movie.
[The latest masterpiece of the genius horror film director Steve Kevin, Escape from the Dead Town is being filmed. The film describes a series of bizarre incidents encountered by black youths entering the town. Try to see how he avoided all crises , escape from Ascension...]
This is from Kevin's own reputation, and it is warmed up in advance.
......
Two months is neither long nor short.
Kevin was surprised by Will Smith's acting skills. In fact, acting is very subjective, but the most important thing is not to play.
Among the films, the most demanding acting skills are often literary films.
As for commercial films and horror films, in fact, the acting is qualified, that is, it is fine to not play, except for Hannibal.
And Will Smith's acting skills in this regard are not like people who have never made movies at all, after a brief chat with Will Smith.
Kevin couldn't help but sigh that money can be magical.
