MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 205

Chapter 302 Filming

It also has Bilibili, a website that can create Internet celebrities and self-media.

After the talk was almost over, Kevin ordered someone to arrange a residence for Zhang Yimou, and then he called Hirosue Ryoko's office in Japan and asked them to arrange Hirosue Ryoko to come to the United States to play the role of the female No. 3.

This is Kevin fulfilling his promise.

･･･

Time flies, three days later.

With a large group of crew members, and Zhang Yimou as the assistant director of photography, a group of people came to the MGM studio in a hurry.

The film of Fast and Furious is divided into two parts, one part is shot on the set, through post-production, and part of the real scene.

There is also a small number of outings.

Speaking of which, in fact, since Pirates of the Caribbean, Kevin is more and more inclined to film under the green screen.

No way, if you go out, just organizing these people to do things will already be very tiring.

There is also coordination with official organizations around the world.

Compared to these things, Kevin prefers to use green screens to reduce these hassles.

Of course, there is a bigger reason to shoot like this, which is actually faster.

Abandoning these dealings with people, all the scenes are completed on the set.

Then three to four months, in fact, is enough to finish the filming of the text, and more work, Kevin is ready to put on the post-production.

Of course, there is no shortage of real car crash scenes.

For this, Kevin asked for more than ten new cars from Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, and also bought a bunch of scrapped cars from the junkyard.

These are used as models to complete the impact scene with the help of special effects.

After arranging the arrangement of the scene, Kevin arranged things for each other, and then called over the four main members of the crew.

Johnson, at Kevin's order, shaved off his hair, made a bald head, and then followed Kevin's request to practice a little stronger.

In the expressionless thing, it is very terrifying, a typical black boss appearance.

However, when he smiled in front of someone he knew, he looked like a silly big man again.

This kind of person, in Kevin's view, is born to eat the rice bowl of an actor.

He can handle a variety of scenes perfectly, from comedy to villain.

Cruise, he was originally going to be a supporting role, but Kevin gave him the treatment of a double protagonist. He was also somewhat grateful for Kevin.

However, looking at Kevin's appearance, it was difficult for him to have no thoughts in his mind.

Back then, when he and Kevin met, Kevin had just become famous and was a well-known director.

Up to now, in just five or six years, Kevin's status has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has become a billionaire in one fell swoop.

He reads the newspaper every day. In the newspaper, he does not know how many people do various analyses on Kevin's net worth and wealth every day.

Rubbing Kevin's heat.

He also indirectly learned about Kevin's current worth, and one MGM alone is worth four billion.

If you count the morning movie and Marvel, tens of billions can be said to be no exaggeration.

Cruise, who has worked hard for so many years, is only 200 million US dollars. After taxes and expenses, he is actually worth tens of millions of dollars.

Compared with the average person, this net worth is naturally very exaggerated.

But compared with Kevin, that's a hundred times difference, how could it not make people admire the idea.

Secondly, there are two vases corresponding to the two male protagonists, one is Cruise's wife Nicole Kidman, and the other is Anne Hathaway, whom Kevin newly met.

"You two will play against each other here first, and adjust your relationship with each other. Next, you will be very busy."

"My plan is that this movie will catch up with this year's summer season. If it is earlier, it will be released in June, and if it is later, it will be released in August."

Kevin's face was expressionless, and he said that in front of him.

Kevin's style has long been heard in the industry. They have long heard of the misuse of actors and the frantic rush to work.

None of the people present had an opinion.

In order to become famous, in order to become a big star, what does this pay for?

"I have no problem. I promise in the middle that I will not rest once."

Johnson took the lead.

As a newcomer, he was one of the two leading actors in Steve Kevin's films. At this time, his mood was similar to winning the jackpot.

Don't say no rest for half a year, even if he doesn't rest for three years, he is willing.

Johnson has made a statement, and others have also expressed their willingness to cooperate with Kevin throughout the process.

With a high profile, after expressing his attitude that he did not recognize his six relatives on the set, Kevin began to enter the state of shooting.

-------------------------------------

Time flies, and the United States entered 1999 from 1998.

At the beginning of the year, some accidents happened between the United States and the mainland, which caused a slight tension in the relationship between the two sides.

However, under the premise that the general direction is friendly, this disturbance soon disappeared.

Little plum Leonardo, who wanted to be the leading actor in Kevin's movie, was a failure after all.

No way, in the movies Kevin shot, so far, there really is no role that suits him.

Kevin thought again and again, but still didn't plan to use him.

Therefore, until May 1999, Xiao Lizi was still in a state of doing nothing.

On the other hand, the TV drama business of Chenxi Films is developing in full swing.

Thanks to the feedback of the film.

Marvel, Pirates of the Caribbean and other TV series have achieved very good results.

The money that Chen Xi Movie received from HBO TV station is also getting more and more.

However, in this case, Morning Sun Movies, or Kevin himself is not satisfied with this situation.

To this end, Kevin asked Dawson to pay attention to the current situation of some TV stations.

See if there is any TV station that is not well managed and wants to sell itself.

Kevin wants to take over.

under such an arrangement.

Fast and the Furious has been filmed, and when Kevin is in post-production, Dawson informs Kevin that he has a TV station to sell himself.

Kevin quickly put down the matter at hand and went to the TV station to conduct specific discussions.

As a media giant, generally speaking, there are TV stations as the card surface and content output terminal.

Some of them may even have more than one.

Like HBO and The CW, both have ties to Time Warner.

In later generations, Kevin saw so many DC TV dramas, all of which were released on CW.

Chapter 303 The hostess

This financial problem is a TV station called TNT.

In the United States, there are no more than one or two hundred TV stations. Among them, the public relations TV station that relies on advertising is the largest, but also the least.

There are no more than fifteen scattered ones.

In addition to this, is the pay TV station.

The coverage of these pay TV stations is far less than that of PR TV stations, and their main viewing masses are mainly concentrated in major cities in the United States.

Through content, to attract viewers to pay to watch, the general cost is twenty or thirty dollars a month.

It is quite expensive, so in order to make TV viewers willing to pay, they are all racking their brains to make TV series, TV shows, etc. that attract the audience.

And TNT is one of the many pay TV stations.

Because of the previous large investment, the TV series and variety shows that were filmed did not get good ratings, resulting in serious losses for the TV station.

They haven't made a TV show or TV series with a production cost of over 5 million for more than a year.

The most recent episodes are sitcoms, and the results are as bleak as ever.

This kind of achievement also made the capital behind TNT lose interest in continuing to operate the TV station. For this reason, the director of the TV station released news to see if anyone had this interest in the TV station.

And Kevin, after hearing the news and after some consideration, chose TNT as a TV station.

First of all, if it is the kind of public relations TV station that relies on advertising to survive, they are all in the hands of major capital giants. This is the foundation of those media giants. No matter how much Kevin digs, he will not be able to dig it.

Moreover, the price of the acquisition is also unaffordable for Kevin.

On the other hand, even Kevin himself does not plan to acquire that kind of big TV station.

Kevin, who knows the future, understands that when the Internet age arrives, there will only be fewer and fewer people watching TV. In the future, the video giants on the Internet will be even more terrifying than these media giants.

And this giant is already in the hands of Kevin.

Yes, what Kevin said was exactly Netflix.

At present, in fact, Kevin just needs an ordinary TV station that digests his company's resources.

And TNT, although the recent profit is not good, but its coverage rate is not bad among the old TV stations.

This means that as long as there are good shows that can attract viewers to pay, TNT can get out of the current predicament at any time.

In the most blunt words, it is some small TV stations. It is really that others want to watch on demand but there is no place to do so.

And TNT, once brilliant, has a high coverage rate. In many places, as long as you are willing to order on demand, you can immediately connect to the TNT signal after paying.

Such a well-established TV station was chosen by Kevin.

After getting out of the car, the eight bodyguards immediately attracted the attention of many people.

However, when they saw the protected people in the middle, the eyes of these people showed the same eyes.

With Kevin's net worth of tens of billions of dollars, it is nothing to recruit eight bodyguards.

It is no exaggeration to say that this asset of his can even buy some small countries directly, even if it is a king.

As soon as he got out of the car, Kevin was surrounded by bodyguards and walked directly towards the TNT TV station.

As a small TV station, it does not have the same treatment as a big TV station with its own building, and can only rent some office buildings.

Along the way, the momentum of the eight bodyguards was almost unstoppable.

In a few minutes, Kevin came directly to TNT's office area.

A lady with blond hair and big waves, dressed in **** clothes, came up, looked at Kevin, and said with a warm smile on her face:

"Director Kevin, please come with me, I'm the host of TNT, my name is Pova."

Listening to this woman's self-introduction, Kevin involuntarily glanced at the hostess's upper body, and muttered to himself, it was really predictable.

Seemingly seeing Kevin's eye movements, Pova deliberately shrugged to make her upper body stand out more.

The smile on his face became even warmer.

Obviously, she wanted something to happen with a super-rich like Steve Kevin, and it would be perfect to have a child and a family fortune of several hundred million dollars.

But now that Steve Kevin came over, he had business to talk about, not when she was seducing.

Beauvoir led the way, and among the eight bodyguards, two followed Kevin the longest.

Looking at Pova's figure and plump figure, Kevin asked casually:

"The name Pova sounds like Russian. Do you have an elder in your family who is Russian?"

With a smile, Beauvoir responded:
