MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 7
From this beginning, Steve Kevin as a director is not the kind of person who has an empty name.
With curiosity about why Adam was tied up, several people continued to watch.
Under the murderer's orders, everyone had to choose between their own lives and the lives of their family members and Adam, a stranger.
Until the end, Gordon sawed off his foot under the mania and despair, and crawled out with the broken leg.
Adam, who stayed in it, suddenly found that the corpse on the ground slowly climbed up at first.
Adam launched a counterattack against the jigsaw, but was stunned by the jigsaw using a pre-made device.
at last.
Jigsaw to a sentence, people live often without gratitude, and you will not leave the room.
As soon as the picture darkened, Adam screamed in the darkness, and then the movie ended.
...
"Oh, MYGOD, is he a god?"
A viewer exclaimed that he had been completely attracted by the charm of the jigsaw.
As a human being, acting on behalf of God, punish those who do not value life.
This is the first time he has seen such a charming villain in a movie in his many years of practice.
And some of these concepts are more religious, adding a divine brilliance to the villain.
"The camera is very good, there is no problem, it looks very smooth."
"There are some flaws in the plot, but the charisma of Jigsaw can withstand it all. Director Kevin, where did you find this actor, his face always has a calm and smile that does not fit the identity of a murderer, but with The act of exercising divine authority on behalf of God makes all this reasonable..."
The filmmakers praised Kevin for making such a classic movie, and yes, they agreed that Chainsaw would become a monument in horror movies.
Chapter 11 Robert Downey Jr.
Dean on the side also showed a surprised expression. He decided the investment in this movie. Although the investment was not large, he also had to take responsibility once there was a loss.
And now, the filmmakers have given an evaluation that may become a classic in film history. From this evaluation, it is almost impossible to lose money based on the investment of 1.3 million US dollars.
Dean turned his attention to Shay, and it was up to him, the boss and president, to decide the specific publicity plan.
However, with the evaluation of the filmmakers, I believe that the propaganda efforts will definitely not be small.
Shay thought for a while in his mind about his views on the movie he had just watched, and then combined the views of the filmmakers present, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.
Chainsaw has the potential to be a big hit, and it's worth paying a lot of publicity dollars.
Of course, this large sum is for Chainsaw Horror.
"Dean, please contact the publicity department immediately, and I will ask for a financial allocation of 3 million US dollars to carry out coverage publicity for theaters near American colleges and universities."
"Also, contact the print media, as well as various film critics."
"I'm going to hold a screening to spread the word of mouth of the film ahead of time, and we will try our best to make Chainsaw a classic."
Shay was decisive.
Obviously, from the word-of-mouth of these people and his own viewing experience, he noticed the possibility of Chainsaw Cry becoming a classic.
As a film company, a classic film has a very long lifespan.
Box office often only accounts for 20% to 30% of total revenue.
The revenue from other DVDs and other aspects can continue for decades, and it will not lose to the box office under the long-term flow.
But it's all based on box office.
A box-office classic, but no public will recognize it.
Shay turned his head, and the Jewish face was covered with the expression he was going to make a fortune, and it happened that Kevin thought so too, although it was only 5% of the box office.
But if it really explodes, it's also not a small amount.
And this share is not enough to turn New Line Cinema and his genius director.
Everything is in his plan.
Facing Shay's gaze, Kevin also smiled.
Xie Yi smiled and said affectionately:
"Director Kevin, film critics and the screenings attended by traditional media need your cooperation. Is there any problem with your time?"
Kevin nodded.
"Don't worry, I will cooperate throughout the process. If you have any questions, just tell me directly or contact my agent Dawson."
Kevin's words also satisfied Shay, and talented directors often have some quirks or unruly.
But these faults did not appear in Kevin at all.
At the same time, he has a good grasp of the funds of the crew, and there is even a surplus. Based on this situation, he has no problem with using the remaining funds for parties.
It would be great if every director could be like Kevin.
At this time, Chainsaw has not yet been released, but Shay has already prepared a second chance to cooperate with him.
.........
Everything was basically done, and he, the director, basically had nothing to do except for the next screenings.
The school holidays are not over yet, or for a director like him who is about to graduate, the school courses have been completely completed.
Even if there is no Chainsaw Horror, he can still graduate smoothly.
Mitt and the others all had their own affairs. After reviewing the memories in their minds, Kevin came to Broadway unknowingly.
As an orphan, he grew up in an orphanage at a young age, but he was smart and did not degenerate like others. Instead, he knew that reading was the only chance to change his destiny.
Therefore, he studied hard all the way along the way, and with his smart IQ, he was able to be admitted to the University of Southern California under such poor conditions.
And his friend, or the man who guided him on the path to becoming a director, was someone in this Broadway theater.
Kevin continued to think, with the progress of time, the memory was further integrated, and sometimes he couldn't tell whether he was Chen Daoxuan or Kevin.
In other words, they were originally the same person, just a relationship between past and present lives.
"Crench!"
The sound of the iron door being pushed open reached his ears, and a very handsome young man with a Chinese character face walked out.
"Kevin!"
"Come on, let's have a drink!"
Robert Downey Jr., holding Kevin's shoulders, walked towards the nearby bar as if he was holding a prisoner.
That's right, the guide who appeared in front of Kevin was Robert Downey Jr.
The two came to know each other by accident in the library.
As a young man who dropped out of school, if he wants to go further in his acting career, it is indispensable to study.
Everyone praises Downey as a genius, only Kevin knows that genius also has to work hard.
The two meet in the library, Kevin works hard for his future, and Downey works hard for his acting career.
In Downey's eyes, Kevin is an immature child.
Same as his brother.
To this end, Downey helped him a lot, such as inviting him to dinner, sponsoring some books, and helping Kevin learn more about what the director needed, as well as some Hollywood insider tips. As for the direct financial relationship, Kevin couldn't accept it. of.
As a transmigrator, Chen Daoxuan also accepted this and inherited the feelings between the two.
As for why Downey was not allowed to play the jigsaw, it was because of his image.
Coulson · No, Greg, has a special kind of affinity, and you never have to worry about being in danger in front of him.
When this temperament is placed in the hands of a believing murderer, a contrast is formed.
The murderer does not feel that he is committing a crime, but feels that he is helping God to clean up the dregs that do not cherish life, which makes it even more creepy.
Anyway, from the perspective of Kevin, Greg's effect is much stronger than Tobin Bell, who has always played murderers, criminals, and serial killers.
This wonderful sense of contrast did not affect the charm of the jigsaw at all, but instead added the aura of a servant to him.
Under the leadership of Downey, the two soon came to a bar.
As the sky gradually dimmed, colorful lights were lit up in the bar, and a group of demons danced wildly in the bar.
Through the dim light, Kevin had already seen some men and women hiding in the corners, merging into one under the looming shadows.
One word, chaos!
Kevin can't like this kind of place, whether it's in the past or this life, he doesn't like this kind of place.
Donny on the side walked around the bar like a duck to water, looking very happy. After a while, Donny remembered Kevin, his brother three years younger than him.
Chapter 12 Screening
Withdrew from the group of strippers and came to Kevin in the booth.
"Kevin, what's wrong? Don't like this kind of place?"
As an actor, I have my own understanding of how many expressions.
Kevin's brows furrowed, indicating that he didn't seem to have a problem with this kind of place.
Downey asked immediately.
Kevin shook his head, then smiled and said:
"I came to you to tell you that my first movie is coming out soon."
"So fast?"
Downey was a little stunned. He knew that the person in front of him, who he regarded as his younger brother, was very talented, but he got investment and made a movie before he graduated, which was too fast.
Fortunately, he still thought about it. After Kevin graduated, he would bring him to his father, let him take a look, and then introduce him to which director to be an assistant director.
Did not expect ah!
but···
Kevin's first film, whether it can be a great success, he is not optimistic about this at all.
certainly.
As the winner of the 47th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, his father has also participated in the creation of classic works such as The Godfather and Mission Impossible.
Even if Kevin fails, as long as he asks his father, he can still get a chance or two for Kevin.
"Yes, Donnie, I want to make you a big star!"
Kevin said with a smile.
"Really, then I'll wait."
Downey laughed too.
"However, you have to promise me a request."
Kevin restrained his smile and said seriously:
"?"
Downey was a little confused.
"Don't touch those addictive things."
"Why, let's go, Kevin, I'll introduce you to some hot girls."
Downey sneered immediately and changed the subject at the same time.
Kevin had to sigh.
It was his family tradition to smoke those things, and since Downey was 7 years old when he received the first one from his father, he couldn't live without those things.
Since he can't persuade him now, Kevin has also lost his mind to persuade.
Only after he has fallen to the bottom, I am afraid he will have the intention to really quit that thing, but what he can do is to give Downey a better chance to turn over.
