MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 18

Paying old actors to help you practice your acting skills, at the same time, you can rent cameras and buy film at your own expense, and take selfies for self-inspection.

Such conditions, coupled with Will Smith himself being a person with full of spiritual energy, actually tempered his acting skills to a situation that is at least qualified in commercial films under such circumstances.

It was Angelina Jolie who had more problems. As a rookie actor, he often made some small mistakes. Kevin was very angry because of her during this time.

Fortunately, under Kevin's day and night teaching, after half a month, Angelina Jolie finally reached the qualified line under his one-handed guidance.

And this is enough.

During this period, everyone on the crew became aware of the special relationship between Kevin and Angelina Jolie.

However, Kevin is not married, and he is still a single director. Sleeping an actress is a normal thing.

Several supporting actresses also secretly tried to climb into Kevin's bed at night.

But it was guarded by Angelina Jolie.

Everyone else pretended not to see, and no one had the idea of ​​trying to challenge Kevin's authority.

As a crew formed by CAA, plus several of Kevin's own people occupy key positions, and Kevin has achieved successful qualifications, all of which give Kevin the supreme power in this crew.

After ruling out the problem of Jolie's acting skills, other problems are no longer a problem, and the filming proceeds at a high speed.

In two months, everything was successfully completed according to Kevin's calculations.

Of course, for the $3 million expenditure, Kevin did not overspend at all, and there was no surplus at all.

Still the same, booked a party at a hotel near Hollywood.

The remaining funds are more, a full $80,000, and Kevin invested all of it into the party.

....

The time came to the end of February and early March, and a hotel near Hollywood hosted the party.

With the purpose of making good friends with Kevin, Will Smith also did not miss the party, when other people in the party were revelling.

Only Will Smith slowly swayed beside Kevin.

"Director Kevin, aren't you going to the party?"

"I don't like parties, but most people do, and I don't mind doing good things."

Having a party can improve Kevin's reputation among some young actors and behind-the-scenes people. This is a good habit to follow the trend.

"Smith, how come you, a famous singer, suddenly thought of going to Hollywood to cross the border."

Kevin asked curiously.

"Cap!"

"The status between a singer and a movie actor is completely different. I prefer myself as an actor."

Will Smith did not shy away from talking about his ambitions, which is the difference in character caused by the Chinese and American cultures.

Chinese people are used to being introverted, while Americans like to be extroverted.

"Come on, Smith, I see the qualities of an excellent film actor in you, and I believe you will become an excellent film actor in the future."

"If you meet the right film, it is not impossible to become an Oscar winner."

Kevin said in a tone that seemed to be ridiculing, but also seemed sincere.

Will Smith also laughed and said:

"I also believe in Director Kevin's vision, and I feel the same way."

"Well, you are so shameless!"

Kevin joked.

In the previous life, Will Smith also had a saying that he was playing behind his back, but in Daoxuan's view, from the perspective of Will Smith's training of his son, this kind of thing may not be true.

Therefore, Kevin still has a good impression of Will Smith.

"Well, I feel the same way."

After this small talk, the relationship between the two was further improved, reaching the point of being friends.

At this point, the future big stars that Kevin has met have already included Robert Downey Jr., Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Angelina Jolie and other figures.

If they can all become big stars along the lines Kevin remembers, Kevin's connections in Hollywood will lay the foundation.

Of course, this is not enough.

However, it has been less than a year since Kevin made his debut, and there is still enough time to develop.

.....

After the party was over, and Angelina Jolie practiced hard in his villa for a few days, and after completely releasing the pressure, Kevin came to New Line Cinema with all the information.

Chapter 29 Inside the Film Party

He was still the editor that Kevin was familiar with. As soon as they met, he quickly entered the editing process.

After ten consecutive days of frantic editing in the editing room, the first cut film that Kevin needed finally came out.

The next thing to do is a series of complicated tasks such as post-production audio correction, music selection, and post-dubbing of actors.

There is a public music pool in Hollywood. Similarly, major film companies also have their own music copyrights and music talent reserves.

In the case of Warner Bros.'s generous gift, or the fact that the price was not high and there was no need to charge money, Kevin decisively chose some original music to add it, and finally turned the first cut version into the final version.

The next thing to do, of course, is to watch the film.

.....

On March 20, 1992, the internal film screening of Escape from the Dead Town was officially held.

Outside New Line Cinema, Jeff Robinoff, the president of Warner Bros., came to New Line Cinema on time in his Bentley luxury car.

Accompanying him were two Warner Bros. internal film reviewers responsible for film grading. It is particularly noteworthy that one of these two film reviewers is black.

From this, we can see that Jeff Robinoff's idea of ​​attracting black people to the cinema mentioned last time was touched by Jeff Robinoff.

Therefore, this time, a black film crew was specially brought in to be responsible for the specific grading of Escape from Breakthrough Town.

"Kevin!"

Jeff Robinoff greeted Kevin very enthusiastically. A successful director is a hot and cherished resource in Hollywood. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to offend them.

Because of offending them, it means that he has passed a cornucopia directly.

To be able to become president, Jeff Robinoff is a must-have condition.

Kevin also smiled and said that the president of Warner Bros. still has a very high status in the circle. Generally speaking, a director like him, Jeff Robinoff, would not have such an affectionate attitude towards him.

unless···

He needs himself very much.

It seems that Warner Bros. is not so friendly.

Kevin thought silently, but in his memory, Jeff Robinoff has been the president for more than ten years. It seems that even without his blessing, Jeff Robinoff still has other means. .

Jeff Robinoff is very enthusiastic, and Kevin naturally won't be cold-faced.

The two parties were very happy to come to the screening room inside the New Line Film Company.

Seven or eight people, together with Kevin, enjoyed the finished work of escaping from the fatal town.

Not much to say, with the crowd together, the movie started playing directly.

On the huge screen, the logos of Warner Bros., New Line Films, and Dawn Films appeared one by one, followed by the names of the director, actors and behind-the-scenes personnel flashing across the screen.

Then the screen went black and the movie officially started.

At the beginning of a small plot, a black man was invited by a phone to a road with a strange atmosphere, and the black man kept complaining because of the strange environment.

And keep looking for the destination.

Then, a white car suddenly drove out, surrounded by black people, with a slightly relaxed folk song in the eerie, singing a song called Run Rabbit.

The atmosphere is very strange.

Several others immediately brought the plot into the movie.

Then, an unknown person suddenly appeared in the white vehicle, knocked the black man unconscious, and dragged him into the trunk of the car.

Immediately afterwards, night turned into day, and a pair of black and white couples appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The black guy is clean and hygienic, and his thin but strong muscles express that he is very strong, and he matches his beautiful girlfriend very well.

Seeing this, Shay and Jeff Robinoff are somewhat awkward.

The history of this country is a history of confrontation between blacks and whites. So far, although the status of blacks has improved a lot, the discrimination against blacks by whites is still silently hidden in their hearts.

The couple of black men and white women made them feel a little uncomfortable.

This kind of mood can be compared to the feeling of a Chinese woman marrying a black man, ignorant of self-love and disregarding others.

....

As the movie progressed, Shay and Jeff Robinoff realized that it wasn't what they thought it was.

The purpose of the white woman looking for the strong black man is to sell his body to the people in the town, he is just a commodity.

Just like the black slaves of the year...

The film quickly comes to an end, and the black protagonist slaughtered these white people who saw him as slave goods, and it was all so exhilarating.

But if it is just like this, although it is a good work, it seems to be a lot weaker than Kevin's last Chainsaw Horror.

Jeff Robinoff was about to ask a question when he saw the black film crew member he brought with him suddenly shouted:

"Kill those dead white people who treat us black people so unfairly..."

After shouting out this sentence selflessly, the black film crew came back to their senses and couldn't help showing an embarrassing smile.

The shouting just now was definitely inappropriate.

Jeff Robinoff, however, discovered something different and asked directly:

"Jenover, what do you think of this movie?"

Xenoffer suddenly regained his spirits and recovered his professionalism:

"From my point of view, and my race, this is the best work I've seen since I was born."

Jeff Robinoff frowned.

"Is it such a high rating?"

Genover nodded and said seriously:

"Yeah, that's what I think, and that's what you'll get any black man to watch this movie."

"If I had to rate it, I would definitely give it a top rating, an S-rated perfect thriller."

Kevin smiled beside him.

The biggest basic plate of this movie is actually black people, and all the cool points are aimed at black people.

If a movie is rated by S.A.B.C.D, most people will only give an A or B rating when watching the movie.

But for black people, this film will only be the highest S-rated rating.

The film perfectly shows the oppression of blacks by whites, and in the end the blacks killed all over the place, eradicating those dead whites who coveted his body.

To put it simply, this is the ultimate cool film for the black community.

Jeff Robinoff also had a smile on his face, but it didn't seem obvious enough that there was only one black man, and he needed to hold another viewing party.

Invite some black people to watch this movie, and get more detailed data support to arrange a specific number of big screens.

Chapter 30 Planning ahead for Marvel Comics

There is also the issue of scheduling.

But the reaction of black filmmakers gave them a basic impression that the film might be a big hit.

As a movie with an investment of 3 million US dollars, as long as the box office reaches 10 million, it will be able to make a return. Of course, if the cost of publicity and marketing is included, the full 20 million box office will not lose money.

Subsequent licensing of DVDs and other channels can also make money.
