MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 60

Cruise greeted him and let Kevin eat the food enthusiastically.

Nicole Kidman, who was on the side, showed extremely disappointed eyes.

The purpose of her marriage to Tom Cruise is very simple, that is to use Tom Cruise's contacts to improve her status in Hollywood step by step.

What a superstar's wife, this kind of thing was never what she wanted.

Now that Cruise has let her down again, all she can do is find a real man who can make her stand at the top of Hollywood.

And Steve Kevin, is the best object.

The three sat at the round table in the box, and Kevin tasted the food that Cruise ordered and was very happy.

Suddenly, he felt a shoeless foot throbbing from under the table.

Taking advantage of the moment when Tom Cruise was not paying attention, Kevin secretly glanced down and saw Nicole Kidman taking off his shoes.

He kept rubbing his feet.

Kevin quickly moved his feet away.

He doesn't have the habit of hooking up with friends' wives. Besides, Nicole Kidman is beautiful, but she looks too aggressive.

Not his type.

However, seeing Nicole Kidman's way of hooking up with him so actively, Kevin couldn't help but be quite speechless.

In the past life, Nicole Kidman has not been able to get any good resources after leaving Tom Cruise.

To this end, it can be said that there is something Tom Cruise, and there is nothing Tom Cruise.

In short, it is necessary to rely on the identity of this ex-wife, so that the audience will not forget her.

If nothing else, at least Nicole Kidman's behavior made Kevin, a man, feel disgusting just thinking about it.

If he really hooked up with Nicole Kidman, then he would have to be dragged out by Nicole Kidman every day and flogged.

However, it is not good to directly point out this matter now.

Men are always at a disadvantage in this regard. If he takes the initiative to pick Minnicole Kidman to seduce himself.

Nicole Kidman came to a counter-claim, it would be unclear.

Looking at Kevin's reaction, Nicole Kidman could only pause his actions and find another way to seduce Kevin.

This meal, Kevin can be said to be extremely uncomfortable to eat.

...

Back in the villa, enjoying the intimate service of Helen and Emma, ​​Kevin was also thinking about how to proceed with the next work.

After going through the process tomorrow and handing over the role of the clown to Jim Carrey, he will arrange the layout in advance.

As far as the shooting of the Dark Knight is concerned, it is basically based on actual shooting.

Among them, the best place to use it is actually New York.

The whole of America knows that the incarnation of Gotham City in reality is New York.

The real evil capital.

And this is indispensable for the road closure, which is basically impossible to complete without the cooperation of the New York City government.

But in this regard, in fact, don't have to worry about Kevin, Warner is the biggest beneficiary of this movie.

I called my assistant Ellie and arranged for her to communicate with Warner about the road closure.

Kevin stretched his waist and looked at Helen and Emma with a bad smile and said:

"How was yesterday?"

Helen blushed instantly, and said shyly:

"Boss, you are so bad!"

Sister Emma was very generous, she ran to Kevin's side at once, hugged Kevin's hand, and said:

"Boss, do you still want to serve today? Is it alright?"

Kevin's backhand was a head-scratcher.

Xiao Nizi is still against the sky, and dares to provoke him.

Who can bear this.

Kevin reflexively pressed Emma on the sofa...

-------------------------------------

The next day, the sun woke Kevin.

Looking at the woman sleeping beside him, Kevin carefully broke free from her tightly wrapped arms.

After some washing, the driver was called, and he drove directly to the morning movie.

..

It's still yesterday's room, but today's interview is not the hero Batman, but the clown as the villain.

In the current Hollywood, female characters are actually in a very embarrassing situation.

That is to say, in the current Hollywood, there has never been an actress who can carry the box office, and most of them are vase-like roles.

If you really rank the importance of roles, in Hollywood commercial blockbusters, there are generally male protagonists, big villains, followed by female protagonists, or some important roles.

Therefore, Jim Carrey, who has always been the protagonist, came to his crew to play such a big villain, which is not so much a downgrade.

After several actors, one by one, after the performance.

Jim Carrey finally came in.

The producer who was sent by Warner to oversee the finances suddenly widened his eyes.

"Jim Carrey? What international joke?"

Kevin smiled slightly and reassured:

"Don't worry, since Jim Carrey wants to play this role, we shouldn't even give him a chance."

The producer then quieted down.

Kevin looked at Jim Carrey silently, which was the reason for the process.

Let such a fixed image appear to the public as a comedian's role, playing such a big villain, this is a decision that can easily attract Warner's opposition.

Chapter 98 When the Marvel acquisition is in progress

And only Kevin knows how malleable Jim Carrey is.

Therefore, having Jim Carrey, showing amazing acting skills in front of them, is the best solution to the trouble.

Under Kevin's arrangement, Jim Carrey began to play the image of the clown he played.

..

After a while, applause broke out.

Kevin also looked at Jim Carrey's performance with admiration.

If Heath Ledger is a genius, Jim Carrey is a god.

It took Heath Ledger a month to study the scenes, but Jim Carrey took only a few days to get it all together.

The producer on the side couldn't help but clapped and asked:

"Why are you able to play this clown so well?"

"I just think you're the American clown, no no no, don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the clown in the movie."

"Forgive me for being a little rambunctious, because I really like your interpretation of the clown so much."

Jim Carrey, with a gentle smile on his face, but with a hint of sadness in his smile, explained at the same time:

"It's been twelve years since I played comedy."

"I'm like a clown in a circus, using funny expressions and movements to make people laugh."

"However, I gradually realized that I was not happy."

"While bringing people happiness, in reality, I am increasingly unhappy."

"I know, I'm going to break through, I'm looking for a big non-comedy role."

"The clown is my choice, I am the clown!"

The producer applauded again, nodded, and looked at Kevin at the same time.

He seemed to be asking with his eyes whether Kevin was satisfied with Jim Carrey's performance.

Kevin also applauded, with a smile that he was in control of everything on his face and said:

"Congratulations, Mr. Jim Carrey, the Joker is yours."

In a word, the framework of the Batman crew is basically out.

Filming won't start right away, though.

Completely different from the Pirates of the Caribbean, the Batman series has a comic prototype, which also means that there are many important characters.

To the comic image, make some changes.

Or gain weight, or lose weight, or gain muscle, etc.

In addition to the road closure, it is necessary to apply with various departments, as well as donate some public funds.

These things, combined, make the dark knight's start, slow.

...

At the end of the interview, after signing a specific contract, Kevin put forward requirements for each of the important actors according to his own requirements.

Everything is in full swing.

And in this busy schedule.

Kevin came to Marvel Entertainment according to the undercover agent he had arranged.

-------------------------------------

Ronald Perelman, a billionaire, looked at Marvel's current financial report and had to admit that he was indeed too arrogant when he acquired the Marvel project.

Since the acquisition of Marvel a few years ago, he has continued to take mergers and acquisitions to expand the scale of Marvel.

This also means that the annual expenditure is greatly increased.

However, Marvel's profit is far less beautiful than he imagined.

By now, the time has come for him to divert his own funds to fill the hole.

However, as a mature businessman, when encountering difficulties, what he does is definitely not to allocate funds to solve the problem, which will only make himself deeper and deeper.

So what he came up with was to sell the movie rights to popular characters from Marvel Comics.

Including, but not limited to, the rights to follow-up peripherals, adaptations, etc. of this copyright.

The X-Men and the Fantastic Four were his first targets.

The millions of dollars sold have successfully allowed Marvel to support it for more than a year.

But now, funding is once again difficult.

Selling the copyright again is of course the best option.

What makes Ronald Perelman hesitate is that if he sells too many of Marvel's classic characters, it will only make Marvel itself worthless in the end.

Then the loss is the money he invested.

If he makes a move now, the $90 million he invested, plus the funds invested in the follow-up, will be counted as 200 million for the time being.

And the current value of Marvel, it is not a big problem to calculate the 300 million shot.

That is to say, at a cost of 200 million plus human resources, 50% of the profits will be earned in four to five years.

This is actually not very profitable for a billionaire like him.

But the big question is, who will take over?
