MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 170

･･･

After three days of messing around with Nicole Kidman, Kevin headed to the MGM set to start filming Harry Potter.

The crew members are all contracted by Chenxi Films, and they are all veterans.

Everyone is familiar with the workflow.

There is no need to hold any complicated opening ceremony. As soon as Kevin came over, he started work immediately.

The first filming was the beginning of the plot, the plot of Harry Potter living in a relative's house.

This is the first time Kevin has taught a child to act.

Looking at the cute child in front of him, Kevin explained the next short story amicably.

Children's scenes are different from adults' shooting, and can only be done in small sections.

Therefore, when shooting children's scenes, there are no long shots, and it can only be broken down into one picture after another.

In addition, the children's comprehension ability is not enough, and Kevin can't get angry, so the progress of the shooting is not fast.

However, Kevin is also patient.

The parents of the children are also thinking of ways to persuade their children.

This time, Kevin asked the children's parents to resign.

And they all readily agreed.

Of the three families, none of them were wealthy, so after Kevin offered $500,000 for a movie, he would arrange jobs for them, and at the same time continue to make movies in the future and his salary would increase to a certain extent.

They all resigned decisively from the UK and came to the United States.

And signed a long-term contract with Kevin, in MGM or Marvel, to do some errands and easy jobs, plus half a million in salary.

Enough for them to live a very good life in America.

Counting possible follow-up income, it is not known how much better than when they were in the UK.

And Kevin's reason for doing this is very simple, he wants to control Harry Potter's future salary expenditure.

In his eyes, Harry Potter is more than just eight movies.

But twenty, or even thirty.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to limit to the original content of Harry Potter.

Kevin is ready to follow up, let Rowling continue to describe the plot of Harry Potter's son, and it has continued like this.

At the same time, anime, TV series, and Kevin will not let go.

He will not waste such a god-level IP like Warner.

"Little Harry, do you know how to play this scene?"

Kevin looked at the little actor who played Harry Potter with a smile.

Ten-year-old little Harry Potter, with milky milk in his long breasts, looks very cute.

At this time, the makeup artist, according to Kevin's request, had already made him into the appearance in the plot.

A shallow lightning scar on his forehead is very eye-catching.

Little Harry Potter has been very happy since he came to the United States. His father and mother took him to many places to eat delicious food.

The place where he lives has also become a big house, and he also has a bedroom of his own.

Under the guidance of his parents, he knew that all this was brought to them by Kevin.

For Kevin, he has a deep affection.

Seeing Uncle Kevin asking him if he had figured out the next scene, Little Harry Potter nodded quickly and said:

"Bonn remembers it clearly, no problem!"

Kevin's face turned a little serious and said:

"Harry, remember, in front of me in the future, you will be called Harry Potter."

Little Bonn, suddenly a little scared, said timidly:

"I see."

Looking at Bonn's expression, Kevin knew that he might have scared him, and quickly relaxed his expression.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then act again."

After rubbing Bonn's head and letting him and two other young actors play, Kevin instructed the assistant director to call Harry Potter's parents.

"Director Kevin, do you have anything to do with us?"

A middle-aged British man from the Mediterranean, and a chubby British woman, came to Kevin.

Kevin has seen their previous photos. When they were young, they all looked good, and they had a certain appearance.

However, in developed countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, it is difficult for the poor to maintain their good looks.

In developed countries, vegetables tend to be more expensive than meat.

Among them, mass-produced fried chicken food is the most common, which can easily make people fat.

In order to save money, poor people usually buy these cheapest fried chicken foods. Over time, they will naturally gain weight.

The beauty has also expired.

But at least Harry Potter's future appearance is guaranteed to some extent.

In order to choose suitable actors from childhood to adulthood, Kevin took great pains.

Even the actor's future looks are taken into account.

What I want is these actors, who can act from childhood to adulthood, and even to old age.

In this way, Kevin can maximize his benefits.

This is a Harry Potter IP worth tens of billions of dollars. For it, no matter how much energy is spent, it is worth it.

"Yes, I have an idea that I would like to discuss with you."

Kevin's words are polite though.

But this couple, of course, can't really pretend that Kevin is negotiating with them.

The man bowed his head with a pleasing smile on his face.

"Director Kevin, if you have anything, you can just order it."

Kevin said in a negotiating tone:

"I want to discuss with you guys, change Little Bonn's name, keep his surname unchanged, and change his original name to Harry Potter, what do you think?"

"This will allow Little Bonn to better take on this role. You must know that this role is likely to accompany him for the rest of his life."

"According to my plan, Little Bonn can act from ten to sixty."

A suddenly enlightened expression appeared on the man's face, and then he said with a smile:

"Director Kevin is right, then change it. I call him Harry Potter at home, and when the movie is over, I'll take him back to the UK to change his name."

Kevin nodded, this man was quite clever, which saved Kevin a lot of effort.

"Okay, it's alright, you go to rest, and by the way, communicate with Harry about acting. There are some things that I can't communicate with him directly."

The man nodded, pulled his wife, and walked towards Bonn, who was playing.

Obviously, this is the time when the plot is not going well, and Kevin is not good at cursing people directly, so he has to let them communicate.

For half a million dollars, what is that.

Looking at the figures of the two walking away, Kevin also sighed in his heart that it was not a waste of money for him to pay 500,000 yuan to these little actors who had never even acted in a play.

First, it is to curb future box office gains.

In the contract, Kevin limited the increase, and at the same time gave high treatment from the beginning, leaving people speechless afterward.

It is estimated that after five or six films, their remuneration will rise to about three million dollars.

Chapter 251 Iron Man and Ghost Rider Project Approval

Going forward, it will take 20 copies to reach 10 million US dollars, and the overall cost control is deadly.

And after that, their golden age has passed, and the salary will start to fall.

At the same time, actors with strong character attributes are generally not used by other directors.

It can be said that their whole lives are bound to the characters in Harry Potter.

This is in Kevin's own interests.

After talking about this to Harry Potter's parents, Kevin called the parents of the other two main characters to bring up the topic separately.

They also agreed to Kevin's request under the temptation of high salary.

After dealing with this matter, Kevin resumed shooting Harry Potter.

･･･

Time flies by over a month.

Mitt and Zack Snyder each headed to a suburb thirty miles from Hollywood with their own project plans.

It is also the place where Kevin built the reality scene of Harry Potter.

Came outside a large fenced-in construction site.

Mitt found a random place to park, and then went to the door of the construction site with Schneider.

The two security guards first blocked their way and checked the documents before letting the two enter the construction site.

Excavators and various construction vehicles passed by along the way.

After about five minutes.

Mitt and Schneider suddenly lit up.

What appeared in front of them was a magic school like a British castle.

In front of the school, the two saw all kinds of exotic flowers, strange plants.

Mitt touched it curiously, and the touch of the plastic made him understand that these were all props.

Going a step further, there are crew members guarding to prevent others from entering by mistake.

Mitt figured out his identity, and the staff immediately took them to Kevin's filming location.

After a circle in the castle, under the leadership of the staff, they came to a hall.

At this time, in the hall, all the extras were in their places.

There are students who act as students, many of which are temporary cameos.

There are also some professional child stars, and most of these child stars play supporting roles with a certain role.

Obviously, it was a big group scene being filmed at this time.

Mitt and Zack Snyder naturally wouldn't bother Kevin at this time.

Silently outside the camera's blind spot, waiting for this scene to be finished.

This wait is two days.

This group scene was repeated twenty times, and the shooting was finally completed in the afternoon of the second day.

And just so, after filming such a stressful scene, Kevin gave the crew a day off to rest.

Only then will there be time to receive the two of them.

Among the simple shelters outside Hogwarts that resemble shipping containers.

The three meet.
