MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 208
This is the nature of journalists, they always want to stir up disputes for hot content.
"Of course it's Director Lucas, who created the Star Wars series, which has become an indispensable culture for Americans, and he's the one I'm chasing."
Kevin responded as usual, but his eyes silently recorded the identity card that the reporter hung on his chest.
Tiger Entertainment Weekly, reporter Lucius.
With his current status, there are not many people who don't have long eyes to provoke him.
Since this reporter came to pick things up in front of him, he would have to pay a price.
However, Kevin would not treat him like that. At most, he put pressure on Tiger Entertainment Weekly to let this person lose his job.
No way, as a big man, sometimes you have to measure.
But not everyone can be provocative.
You can make trouble, but you have to pay the price of trouble.
Reporter Lucius, who obviously didn't know what he was about to face, showed a look of disappointment on his face, obviously regretting that he couldn't get any big news out of Kevin's mouth.
Lucius asked again without giving up:
"Director Kevin, I heard that you are dating multiple Hollywood actresses in the industry at the same time. Is this true?"
The reporters around looked at Lucius with wide eyes.
Surprised not to.
I didn't expect someone to be so brave.
To dare to find news from Steve Kevin in this way is not the quality of an old reporter.
Everyone silently put a stunned label on him.
As old reporters, you should know what they are serving.
To dig up the negative news of the top rich people like Steve Kevin is really dead.
It's really bullying to be a billionaire!
If it's just a director, it might be fine, but Steve Kevin is obviously not just a director.
Facing Lucius' provocation again, Kevin was not angry, but responded lightly:
"Who did you listen to? I will notify my lawyer to contact you after the incident, and you must speak responsibly."
"If someone told you, please tell me and I'll have my lawyer sue him."
"If no one tells you that you guessed it yourself, then my lawyer will sue you directly."
Lucius' face instantly turned pale.
He hurriedly turned back and ran away, hoping in his heart that Steve Kevin couldn't remember this little guy.
Looking at the back of Lucius fleeing in embarrassment, Kevin just shook his head.
He won't be serious, let him lose his job and learn a lesson.
If you really want to go to a lawyer, it is possible for him to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, so this person will spend his whole life, and Kevin will not be so heavy.
With the example of Lucius, other reporters were obviously much more polite when interviewing Kevin.
Never asked any messy things again, and honestly focused on the films of both sides.
After the interview process was over, the Star Wars prequels began to be released.
Chapter 307
Beside Kevin, several well-known actors such as Cruise and Nicolas Cage were also invited to the premiere by Lucas.
With Lucas' status in Hollywood, these people simply can't refuse.
The status of a big director in Hollywood is very special.
They can resist the control of capital to a certain extent and retain a certain degree of autonomy, while stars do not.
Even a superstar of Cruise's level will inevitably be banned once he angers the capital. Only the director, this special resource.
There is also a lot of capital, and they are not united. The blockade of one capital does not mean that all capitals are blocked.
Capital will not collide with other capitals for actors, but it can collide with other capitals for directors. This is the difference between directors and actors.
The movie began to play, and in order to show respect for Lucas, Kevin did not talk to them, but watched the movie quietly.
Looking at it, Kevin frowned.
At the same time, I once again established a truth in my heart.
Anything like a prequel is just rotten.
Star Wars prequel, the story is boring.
Kevin, who was not very interested in Star Wars, just stared at the movie boredly.
From a quality point of view, the Star Wars prequels are no surprises.
Two lightsabers like lights waving on the big screen immediately made the audience cheer.
Kevin was heartbroken.
What he saw from the Star Wars prequels was the future of Marvel, not the content of the movie.
After the IP of the future Marvel Cinematic Universe is formed, it will directly rewrite the pattern of movies.
As far as Marvel movies are concerned, as long as they are not rotten to the end and stay above the standard line, they can obtain movie box office far exceeding the quality.
It is no wonder that in the future Hollywood, there are many big directors who have criticized Marvel.
For example, film master Martin Scorsese, the director of Raging Bull, Hugo, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street, said that about Marvel.
Can't call it a movie, more like a by-product of a theme park.
And Francis Ford Coppola, the director of The Godfather, also pointed fingers at Marvel:
"When Martin Scorsese said a Marvel movie wasn't a movie, he was right, because we always want to get something out of a movie, and we want to be inspired, inspired by a movie."
"And Marvel brings only a visual feast, that's all."
Of course, the current Marvel has been taken over by Kevin.
Kevin doesn't know whether these big directors will criticize Marvel in the future.
But he didn't really care.
The verbal criticism of these film masters can only affect a small number of fans.
The vast majority of the audience, in fact, simply ignore them.
The audience of the future will only become more and more sober.
They never believe in status or authority, they only see what they want to see.
At that time, the market will only get better and better for a movie like Marvel that simply makes the audience laugh.
Because with the development of the times, people's pressure is also increasing, which is a global trend.
Who wants to walk into the movie theater to relax after a week of hard work, but also to be educated by the movie.
This kind of person, if not financial freedom, work without pressure.
Then the brain is broken.
This is the inevitability of the times.
Kevin also has no contrarian thoughts.
He never had any idea of being a good teacher, and movies were never sublime in his hands.
Kevin has always regarded movies as a tool for entertaining the public, not even art.
The so-called art has always been a niche
Has anyone ever seen art for the masses?
Although the prequels of Star Wars are invincible in Kevin's eyes.
But the audience didn't think so.

The release began on May 25, 2019, and so far, twenty-two years have passed.
Star Wars has become a part of American culture.
The children of that era have grown up.
This childhood filter is a very scary thing.
This era belongs to Star Wars, Kevin has no doubts about that.
But the next era, Kevin can be sure, belongs to the morning movie.
When the children who watch his works grow up, this childhood filter will become their lifetime memories, and the commercial value of this is unparalleled.
After watching the movie, Kevin and Lucas said hello and were pulled away by Cruise and Cage.
After some dashing at the high-end bar, Kevin returned home under the **** of his bodyguards.
・・・
In a flash, it was June 10, the premiere day of Fast and Furious.
Today, everyone is used to Kevin's habit of not inviting those big-name film critics. Of course, the most important thing is that although he didn't invite him, he gave him the money he should give.
These film critics, even if they don't say good things, will definitely not say bad things.
It's really like everyone is so noble.
Film critics, to say the least, are nothing but a profession parasitic on film companies.
When they put themselves above the film company, thinking that they can control the success or failure of the film with one mouth.
In fact, this is the time when the profession is dying.
It doesn't even need the studios to suppress it.
With the advent of the Internet age, people have more ways to obtain information, and people naturally lose their trust in film critics.
They will find that on the Internet, there are a large number of people who have the same opinion as them, and have good or bad reviews of certain movies.
At this time, film critics jumped out and insisted on fighting against their ideas.
The audience is not a fool. If only a small number of people have the same opinion as him, he may think that he is wrong.
But when he found out that there are a large number of people who have the same opinion as him.
At this time, if the film critics say it, he will naturally weigh it.
Almost all film critics all over the world died after the advent of the Internet age.
In its place are websites that give the public a voice.
For example, a web site allows viewers to rate the movies they have watched on the site.
Of course, before the development of Kevin Crossing, these websites were already controlled by capital.
From the audience's point of view, Kevin is naturally going to yell at this.
But from the perspective of his current capital.
This is not a bad thing.
After all, when the time comes, he says that a good movie is garbage, and then manipulating data, people are sometimes not so determined animals.
When he thought he was the only one who felt this way, perhaps this was what capital wanted him to realize.

At this point, the operation of a certain lion boy was very angry.
