MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 75

Facing Jim Carrey's thanks, Kevin touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for his previous life, who had seen so many movies of Jim Carrey and recognized Jim Carrey's acting skills very much, it would be impossible for him to take such a risk to use such a comedian.

But this kind of thing, Kevin naturally cannot say to the outside world.

Can only reply:

"Your acting skills are the biggest factor for me to choose you."

"Actually, you didn't let me down, did you?"

Jim Carrey also had a smile on his face.

Just when they were laughing happily, a call came to Kevin's private phone.

"Hello? I'm Steve Kevin? Who are you?"

"We're the Los Angeles Police Department, and your friend Robert Downey has been arrested by us for smuggling contraband."

"He asked us to notify the owner of the call to get a lawyer to bail him."

"Okay, I see, we'll come over in a while."

Hanging up the phone, Kevin rubbed his head.

In the previous life, it seems that Downey was only arrested in 1997 and then imprisoned for two years.

After that, he came to his senses and completely got rid of that thing.

Then, with the help of his manager wife, he got the role of Marvel's Iron Man and jumped up.

Become a superstar in Hollywood.

But because of his butterfly effect, for some unknown reason, Downey actually went in early.

Chapter 120 Bail, Conversation with Downey

This seems to be a good thing for Kevin.

In this way, the soul of Marvel, Iron Man, can be in place in advance.

The question now is whether Downey can be made to ban contraband ahead of time.

According to his understanding, it was the family's fault that Downey touched the contraband. When he was eight years old, he was brought by his father to touch the contraband.

If you want Downey to ban that thing, you can only let Downey raise the idea and add the help of external force.

Kevin, who came up with the idea, found a high-end law firm with Jim Carrey, and hired a lawyer with a high salary.

Then, together with Jim Carrey, the three went straight to the Los Angeles Police Department.

....

Being caught for the first time, plus a small amount, and paying a high bail fee, and under the action of a senior lawyer.

Downey managed to get the treatment of not having to go in.

However, the premise is that within two years, every three months to the designated place for an inspection.

If a repeat offender is found, he needs to be forced into a solitary home.

Feeling the taste of freedom, in front of the police station, Robert Downey Jr. stretched and looked at Kevin beside him and said:

"Thank you, I don't want this to be a riot."

Having said that, in fact, everyone knows that this kind of thing can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from the caring people in Hollywood.

How much trouble this thing will make depends on how hard it is to protect him.

And it just so happens that Kevin is the one who has the ability to protect him.

Of course, plus Robert Downey Jr's father, Robert Downey's contacts.

All in all, protecting Downey isn't much of a problem.

Facing Downey's seemingly careless expression, as if not panicking at all about being almost caught in, Kevin's rare expression became serious:

"Donnie, do you want to be a superstar in Hollywood?"

Downey touched his head, not sure what Kevin meant.

In his current status, Downey is actually a second-tier player in Hollywood, but because of his father's status.

He doesn't lack acting either.

But since they're in Hollywood, who doesn't want to be the handful at the top.

Downey nodded.

"Of course, now that you're a star, who doesn't want to be a superstar in Hollywood."

Kevin looked Downey in the eye with a look he had never seen before.

"Donnie, do you believe me?"

Downey nodded involuntarily.

"Of course I believe you."

"That's good, Donnie!"

Kevin said in the most serious tone:

"I'm going to use a series of movies to put you in the seat of a Hollywood star, but I want you to promise me a request."

Downey was a little moved.

Steve Kevin's fame, in today's Hollywood, naturally does not need to be said.

He said that whoever he wants to support, he can support whoever.

Pirates of the Caribbean's Johnny Depp is the best proof.

He once thought, with their relationship, why Kevin didn't ask him to play the role in his movie.

For this, he even blamed Kevin in his heart.

And he knew that if he opened his mouth, Kevin would definitely give him the role.

But because of this, he couldn't open his mouth in front of this person like his younger brother.

Now Kevin has offered to prepare a series of movies for him to make him a Hollywood superstar.

His first reaction was a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean.

To be honest, at this moment, he was moved.

"any request."

"Say goodbye to any contraband."

Kevin's face was very serious.

"A superstar, if he gets those things, he will be full of flaws."

"In Hollywood, such a person, even if he becomes a superstar, wants to destroy him, it's just a casual thing."

"You understand? Donnie!"

"If you want to become a superstar, you have to say goodbye to those contraband. In this way, it will make sense for you to become a superstar and not waste the movie I prepared for you."

"Donnie, I can tell you that this will be a miracle in the history of movies, a series of movies that will shake Hollywood. I can't tell you the specific details yet."

"But it's going to be a franchise that's many times better than Pirates of the Caribbean."

Downey was obviously shocked by what Kevin said.

You know, Pirates of the Caribbean won the No. 1 box office in the US last year. There is only one such movie a year.

What kind of movie series can get such praise from Kevin.

Downey couldn't help but be very curious.

As for contraband, Kevin's words, he thought about it carefully, seemed very reasonable.

If you want to be a superstar, you really shouldn't touch those things.

The only problem now is that he is addicted and seems to have a hard time quitting.

Downey hesitated for a moment, then said:

"In principle, I agree, but you know how addictive that thing is. I'm worried that with my self-control, I can't control myself."

Kevin just smiled.

"As long as you promise, leave the rest to me."

Seeing that Downey agreed, Kevin finally felt relieved.

As for how to quit, drugs, plus a professional team, plus a 24-hour supervision.

As long as Downey doesn't refuse, these things can be overcome in the end.

Of course, Kevin specially mentioned here that only this relatively light contraband can be quit.

Once you touch those serious contraband, it will be useless for a lifetime.

Do not touch those things in the slightest.

Anyway, in this life, as a billionaire, Kevin lacks everything, and he won't die to touch those things and shorten his life.

Downey nodded.

Jim Carrey, who was on the side, also came over and said with a giggle:

"Kevin, you can't be funny enough, I also want an important supporting role in Downey's new movie."

Jim Carrey's subtext, Kevin, will naturally not understand.

This is because of his friendship with Kevin himself and Downey, and took the initiative to reduce the coffee to help Downey and his new film be more successful.

This situation is rare in Hollywood.

Usually this happens, it only happens when the big stars are out of breath.

It is rare to see a big star like Jim Carrey taking the initiative to play a supporting role.

Facing Jim Carrey's kindness, Kevin also readily accepted it and responded with a big smile:

"Don't worry, I will assign you a very important role."

As for the role of Jim Carrey in Marvel, Kevin still has to consider.

But making him the first actor to straddle DC and Marvel seems interesting too.

At this time, Downey suddenly touched his stomach with a hippie smile and said:

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go have a meal. I didn't even have a meal before I was arrested. Now I'm starving to death."

..........

The next day, Kevin didn't even care about the box office on the first day, so he arranged everything for Downey.

In the United States, a country where contraband is rampant, there are naturally many institutions that help to get rid of contraband.

Kevin went straight to the most expensive agencies and hired them at a price of $500,000 a year.

At the same time, in the contract, the premise that must be valid is also signed, otherwise the money will be refunded.

Kevin believes that even for the sake of money, these people will try their best to help and supervise Downey to successfully solve all the problems.

After arranging these things, Kevin rushed to Warner again. He was also curious how much the new Dark Knight would get at the box office on the first day.

Chapter 121 Plans for a Pirates of the Caribbean Sequel

"Kevin, you're here."

Hearing the news of Kevin's arrival, Robinoff greeted him with a smile on his face.

As soon as Kevin saw Robinoff's smile, he knew that the box office was not bad on the first day.

Otherwise, Robinov would not have the time to laugh so happily.

"How much was the Dark Knight's box office on the first day?"
