MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 231

This shows that he is good at some deep film shooting.

Of course, not so pure art.

but commercial artwork.

And Mitt's is very simple, he is suitable for shooting popcorn movies, those commercial movies, demolition, rescue are his specialty.

That's why Kevin put him in the Transformers project.

The two Russell brothers, not to mention it, have not been thoroughly tempered.

With the worldview of making a sequel movie, a movie with a good tone is not a big problem.

But making an original movie is almost meaningless.

As for Tsui Hark and Zhang Yimou, they have unique styles and are not taken into account.

Looking at it this way, Chenxi Film Company is really short of directors.

A generalist like Wen Ziren is exactly what Kevin lacks.

"Well, since it was recommended by Schneider, I believe in your ability, so let's go, my new movie, you can be my assistant director."

Now that he knows that the person in front of him is a future famous director, Kevin will not do the test.

Directly invited him to be the assistant director.

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Wen Ziren's face suddenly couldn't hold back.

What is the concept of Steve Kevin inviting someone to be an assistant director.

Counting the contracted directors of Chenxi Film Company, which one did not start with Kevin's deputy.

Now one by one in Hollywood to become famous.

There are too many scenes in hand to finish.

This is what many directors dream of.

You know, the investment of Hollywood capital is not so easy to get.

There are also some big directors and contracted directors of Chenxi Films who have no shortage of filming. If they were ordinary directors, they were really asking their grandparents to tell their grandmothers to be able to get a small investment movie to shoot.

Medium investment is already a field that can only be covered by famous mentors.

And those blockbusters. It is a category that some top directors in Hollywood can only cover.

In the morning light movie, after a little tempering, after getting the approval of Steve Kevin.

All kinds of medium-sized projects with large investment are all lined up.

In the outside world, I don't know how many directors want to join.

It is a pity that Steve Kevin has never been publicly recruited.

All by fate.

This makes many people envious.

"It's an honor to be the associate director of your new film."

"Well, follow me, study hard, and usually polish yourself more. If you can, I will invest in you to make a movie first after you have been training for half a year and a year."

Holding down the excitement in his heart, Wen Ziren nodded quickly.

"Okay, let's go to Dawson to sign a contract, and the same treatment as the previous contract of the Russo brothers, a guaranteed minimum salary of US$200,000 a year, good results for the works, and bonuses."

Chapter 339 Accepting Wen Ziren

The treatment given by Kevin is definitely not low.

Kevin has already said that in this age, according to the population, an annual income of $30,000 is considered a middle class, that is to say, a family of three is considered a middle class with an annual income of 120,000. It was enough for him to live very well.

There are no harsh conditions for this.

It can be said that in the whole of Hollywood, Kevin can give this kind of treatment.

Of course, those who can get his treatment are often in his memory, the future famous director.

This can be regarded as Kevin's investment in advance.

Through this kind of treatment, and daily attitude, create a comfortable environment that can retain talents.

At present, none of the directors who have joined Chenxi Movies have the idea of ​​leaving.

Although movie projects may not be the most suitable projects in their hearts, Kevin gave them a great deal of autonomy in movies.

Almost all of them are half-producers, which is a privilege that only a few big directors have outside.

It can be said that Kevin has been given higher treatment than outsiders in terms of money, status, and autonomy.

They really don't have any reason to jump ship.

Unless their ambitions go beyond that and want to start their own film company, then Kevin can only wish them good luck.

So far, there has not been a Hollywood giant started by a director.

The founder of DreamWorks, Steven Spielberg, was the closest to success, but with a lack of capital support, he still came out at a loss.

To put it bluntly, the giants control the distribution of the terminal and can exploit the profits to the greatest extent.

DreamWorks movies, without their own distribution channels, must reach three times the box office to be profitable.

The giants with distribution channels only need box office twice the production cost to generate profits.

The difference in this is huge.

This gap greatly enhances the trial-and-error ability of the giants, enabling them to produce more movies at a lower cost.

The base has gone up, and with the support of the capital behind it, it has gradually become a giant.

The former MGM has such a distribution channel.

It is a pity that after capital abandoned him, MGM failed to recover.

However, MGM's distribution channels have not been completely abandoned, which is the greatest significance of Kevin's acquisition of MGM.

With this channel, Kevin can avoid the sanctions of the giants and find another way.

Of course, overseas distribution channels are even more important.

These two channels are worth the price Kevin has to pay for MGM.

Those who have this idea, at least, have never seen success before Kevin crosses.

After Wen Ziren signed the contract, he immediately received a check of $200,000 from Chenxi Film Company as his first year's annual salary.

Then he was going to move to live near the company.

For more convenient work.

In fact, at this time, he has not fully graduated and is still looking for a job.

It was really lucky to meet Zack Snyder.

When I was playing on the beach, I came across it by chance, and after a few chats, Schneider remembered Kevin's mission, and took the initiative to take a look at Wen Ziren's works.

Faced with a well-known director like Schneider, Wen Ziren naturally knew that the opportunity had come.

I quickly found a place and showed the short film to Schneider.

And Snyder also saw Wen Ziren's naive techniques and a sense of spirituality from the short film.

Immediately, I was overjoyed and immediately recommended him to Steve Kevin.

Before he came, Wen Ziren was still apprehensive, for fear that director Steve Kevin would not like him.

Unexpectedly, I didn't even watch his short film, so I just kept him.

If it wasn't for the 200,000 cheque in hand, Wen Ziren would have thought he was in a dream.

The moment he got the money, he was overwhelmed.

He is very clear about his next path.

It is already bright.

Holding Steve Kevin's thigh tightly, he seems to have become a famous Hollywood director.

･･･

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

The movie Shushan World has also been drawn.

With a production cost of 60 million US dollars, it has achieved more than 200 million US dollars in North America, which is actually quite good.

With this achievement, Chenxi has the upper hand in negotiating with overseas publishers.

To put it bluntly, everyone knows that the purpose of releasing movies is to make money.

And the achievement of Shushan World, whoever falls into the hands, will make money.

Therefore, the morning movie naturally occupies the qualifications for negotiation.

In this regard, Shushan World has been screened worldwide.

Among them, countries that are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, such as Japan, South Korea, etc., all burst out with strong enthusiasm after seeing this film.

In their culture, there are immortals and the concept of immortals and cultivators.

Such a film is a completely new theme that has never been seen before.

Suddenly it exploded.

At the same time, Japan and South Korea, two countries with extremely developed entertainment industries, have also set up many projects to follow suit.

It has even developed into some adult industries.

For a while, a special wave of immortals was set off in these two countries.

Of course, this trend also swept the mainland.

With a Chinese Ghost Story, Tsui Hark's reputation in the mainland is also not low.

Of course, the opposite is the public's sense of identification with him.

Hong Kong people are also their own people.

A film by a Hong Kong director about the legend of sword immortals in the area of ​​Shushan in the history and culture of the mainland.

There is not much to say about the patriotic enthusiasm that this inspires.

Coupled with the publicity effect brought by Shushan World, its release on the mainland has not been hindered at all, and it has not been cut.

All of this made the world of Shushan explode on the mainland.

Of course, there is no way to know the specific data. This kind of overseas movie will be released after the release of the overall data.

will not be updated in real time.

Just when Kevin was polishing the hurricane rescue in the office, Jet Li finally got out of Lizhi's gentle township and came to the morning movie.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

In order to express respect for Jet Li, Kevin used the honorary title.

"Hello, Director Kevin."

"Thanks to your invitation, it is my honor to be honored to appear in your film."

Jet Li said politely.

The protagonist of Steve Kevin's film, speak out, I don't know how many people are envious.

Not to mention falling on his head, a Chinese.

It was something he couldn't even think about.

He has been in Hollywood for more than a year. He has personally experienced Hollywood's rejection of Chinese people.

Especially black people, the discrimination against him is even more serious.

It is clear that they are also severely discriminated against by white people, but in reality, it is their exclusion of other minorities except white people.
