MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 219

If audio player doesn't work, press Reset or reload the page.

Hard work and hard work.

After a movie, Zach Snyder really didn't want to move at all, just wanted to let his brain rest.

It's a pity that Kevin has always had films for them.

As a result, I haven't had a good rest.

It really makes him sad and happy now.

The sad thing is that there is not much time to rest, and the happy thing is that there are endless movies.

Speaking of this, I don't know how many directors can be envied, jealous, and hated.

In Hollywood, there are countless unknown directors who are looking for investment every day, trying to make their own movies.

But most of them don't get this opportunity.

Ninety-nine percent of investors will not invest in a film for an unknown director, they only pursue some famous directors with famous works.

And famous directors are chased by countless investors, and there is no shortage of filming.

This creates an embarrassing reality.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

How can a director become famous if he doesn't make a movie? Where can a famous director come from?

And famous directors have no shortage of filming, which is so embarrassing.

Therefore, for the director, the most difficult thing is actually to meet the noble people who are willing to support him.

Kevin's nobleman is Dawson.

And Zack Snyder's nobleman is Kevin.

Kevin looked at Zack Snyder and smiled:

"You help me find a few potential directors, and I will slowly cultivate them."

"In our Chenxi Film Company, there are too few directors now, and there are too many movie projects that no one shoots."

Zach Snyder's face suddenly collapsed.

What is a potential director, and how many are there?

outrageous.

A really good director is Chinese cabbage.

The profession of director is very demanding for professional level.

It requires a series of knowledge including photography and professional lens language, which is really not something ordinary people can do.

Looking at Zack Snyder's embarrassed expression, Kevin smiled, of course he knew how high the professional requirements of the director's profession were.

That really isn't some kind of Kevin's past life in the mainland entertainment industry, it's a profession that anyone or a ghost can be.

In Hollywood, except for James Cameron, a major director who was born as a non-professional.

More than 90% of other famous directors are academic.

That is, a film director who came out of the film school.

In this regard, the threshold for Hollywood to be a director is much higher than that of the mainland entertainment industry.

For a movie like this, the lower limit is still a little bit higher.

Kevin, this is the sky-high asking price, and he has to pay back the money on the ground.

Sure enough, Schneider began to bargain.

"Kevin, the potential director is not a Chinese cabbage, so, three months, I will find one for you!"

"Find a director with potential."

"make a deal!"

Kevin agreed immediately.

Seeing that Kevin agreed so happily, Schneider instantly understood that he had been fooled.

Kevin was asking for a price from the very beginning. He could actually agree, but he didn't have to answer so affirmatively, and now it would be troublesome.

If he didn't find it by then, he was not allowed to make two or three movies in a row to fill the hole of not completing the mission.

When Schneider was about to say something, he saw that Kevin had ignored him and started to communicate with Tsui Hark about the promotion of the movie Shushan World.

Chapter 323 The Navy Begins Action

In fact, the publicity of Shushan World has been going on steadily.

It's just that before the movie is about to be released, a wave of intensive publicity is needed to awaken the audience's memory of this movie.

After all, the previous continuous publicity just let the audience know that there is such a movie.

To get them to be willing to enter the cinema for this movie, some special publicity measures are needed.

To this end, Kevin directly hired some professional dancers of continental dance, in the large squares, dressed as fairies and danced the background dance in the movie.

That is, the world of Shushan, the background board of the virtual world in the movie, the appearance in the fairy setting, and the beautiful dance, which is absolutely eye-catching.

"Tsui Hark, how's the effect of these dances?"

"It's very good, the audience is full of praise for them, and they all say that the dance is beautiful."

"It gave them the urge to go to the cinema to watch a movie."

Tsui Hark, who has been working hard for publicity, said.

However, the expression on his face revealed that he didn't have much confidence.

Shushan World is a movie adapted from a virtual world online game comic produced by Marvel Entertainment.

To say that there is no basic enthusiasm at all, it would be false.

But since the film began to promote, it has not received much response.

Compared to Shushan World's $60 million investment, Tsui Hark is really worried that he won't be able to get his money back.

However, Xu Kexian was very worried, but Kevin was not worried about the box office.

Shushan World, in Tsui Hark's view, is a fairy tale movie.

But in Kevin's view, it's not so much a fairy-tale movie, but an online game movie.

In a similar theme, it's Reynolds' future movie, Out of Control Player.

However, this is an Xianxia online game that only a small number of people know about.

At the same time, in this online game, there is a peculiar secret, that is, players can acquire various peculiar abilities through this online game.

For example, the protagonist's ability is to manipulate the flying sword.

Also has the ability to control fire, water and so on.

It sounds amazing, but it's actually all the rotten routines used in Kevin's previous life.

However, these routines really appear on the big screen through special effects. Not only are they not old-fashioned, but they are full of surprises anyway.

This is a novelty movie that has never been seen in Hollywood.

The core of the story is still justice versus evil.

To put it bluntly, it is still the Hollywood set of values.

In this regard, a careful look at Hollywood commercial films can actually reveal their core.

Save your family, good against evil, and more.

The rest is the rhythm and the specific plot. For this, Kevin, who has read the script and the finished product, wonders whether the world of Shushan can be loved by the audience.

Not at all worried.

Even if it won't explode, in Kevin's opinion, the North American box office of at least $200 million can still be achieved.

This is Kevin's own conjecture about the movie after making so many movies.

He has a basic judgment in mind about the quality of a movie and what box-office range it should be within.

As for the first movie in Shushan World, in Kevin's mind, the box office should be around 200 million to 300 million US dollars.

Global box office, less than 500 million.

Most of them should be obtained in Eastern countries.

Of course, we are talking about overseas markets.

"Well, increase the promotion efforts, and the promotion video will be released next, Chenxi will also increase the intensity."

Naturally, what Kevin wants most is to promote it on the Internet.

However, the earliest videos uploaded to the Internet will not be able to be uploaded until after 2002.

The current network does not allow it.

Therefore, in this era, offline is the most powerful propaganda, and online is the auxiliary of offline propaganda.

Of course, just because videos cannot be promoted doesn't mean that pictures cannot be used.

After arranging for Tsui Hark to lead actors and participate in various talk shows, Kevin immediately arranged for his own navy company to distribute all kinds of exquisite pictures in the world of Shushan to major forums.

These pictures are so exquisite that they can exist as wallpapers.

At the same time, in this era, there is something peculiar to this era, and that is graphic movies.

This is something developed by the mainland in the development of the Internet age, and the United States, as the first country to arrive in the Internet age, naturally gave birth to this kind of thing.

Of course, the difference from the mainland is that the copyright laws in the United States are very strict, so the illustrations are often some public copyright films, such as some public welfare films, or others.

And Kevin's so-called graphic movie is to leak a small part of the wonderful pictures in the plot in advance.

This kind of unimaginable thing for other film companies is trivial for Kevin.

In the habitual thinking of other film companies, the plot is leaked in advance, which will greatly affect the box office of the movie, and it is still negative.

However, for Kevin, as long as the basic quality of a movie passes the test, it is actually positive to divulge a little bit to seduce some audiences who did not want to watch the movie to enter the cinema.

And the movie Shushan World, the world view of this virtual world, although it is very clearly explained through comics.

But comics are always a niche thing.

And movies are two levels.

Most moviegoers don't actually want to read comics.

However, the degree of overlap between movie watchers and netizens is quite high.

In this era, those who can access the Internet are still mainly the middle class.

And watching movies, there is no doubt that the middle class is the largest audience, and the two perfectly coincide.

Programmer Wosting, looking for a suitable wallpaper on the Internet.

The wallpaper he originally used, after three months, was finally tired of him.

Open the website proficiently.

Don't get me wrong, this is a travel forum.

The above netizens often share some travel experiences, as well as some scenery and so on.

Skillfully opening a few posts, a wallpaper that surprised Wostin appeared in front of him.

On the top of a huge mountain, the towering Buddha statue has kind eyes and kind eyes.

At the foot of the mountain is the surging river.

The whole picture is full of divinity and shocking.

This is the scene where Tsui Hark went to the Leshan Giant Buddha. After special effects processing, it is a special attraction in Shushan World.

Putting it in the picture, it is extremely shocking, as if it is real and illusory.

Wastin typed impatiently:
