MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 258

Even this classic comic, plus a director at the level of James Cameron, lost money. Kevin didn't realize that Mitt had this ability.

Not even Kevin himself, let alone Mitt.

Shooting is basically equal to losing money, no need to doubt.

"why?"

Kevin's words are somewhat of a blow to Mitt, a person with two-dimensional attributes.

Mitt couldn't help but ask questions.

Kevin explained:

"Cultural differences, let me give a very simple example, how much do you know about oriental movies except kung fu movies?"

"Are you very puzzled by the behavior of many of them?"

"This difference is not something you and I can resolve."

Mitt pondered for a while, and was stunned to find that what Kevin said seemed to make sense.

No way, he always makes sense.

However, he was somewhat unwilling, and asked reluctantly:

"Is there no chance at all?"

"Let's see in ten years."

In this regard, Kevin just said so lightly.

It's not easy for him to tell them so much about Netflix.

These Japanese comic themes, in Kevin's opinion, are very suitable for adaptation into serial dramas with the theme of Love Dead.

It is mentioned here that the love machine produced by Netflix is ​​indeed a masterpiece.

Excluding some of the series that are convoluted, there are a few episodes that are truly divine, and they can all be proposed to be made into movies alone.

If it weren't for Kevin's success now, he didn't need to dig this kind of wool, he would have already started to kill love.

Of course, I have to admit that some episodes in this series are really large and not suitable for children to watch.

Anyway, Kevin absolutely refused to admit it. He went for the large-scale camera at the beginning.

Of course, later he was really conquered by the plot.

One of the episodes made him even more unforgettable. It was a story about a spaceship falling into a cosmic spider's lair. I can only say that he liked the plot and the pictures were amazing.

These Japanese comic themes are adapted into this more suitable.

As for the movie, I can only say that it is really inappropriate.

Mitt was stunned, but helpless.

He has great confidence in Kevin's vision.

Kevin said that, and he basically gave up and had no more ideas.

He wouldn't do this kind of inevitable business.

After chatting a few more words and sending Mitt away, Kevin thought about his movie project in his mind.

After the hurricane rescue was over, he had been resting for a long time, and his hands were somewhat itchy.

It's also time to start preparing for a new project.

After all, it may take several months from preparation to shooting, so it is better to plan early.

However, he still has no idea about the specific project, and he needs to find suitable inspiration.

As for how to find inspiration, it's actually quite simple.

Just find a suitable one from the company's copyright library and the scripts delivered by the screenwriter, and find a suitable one that Kevin wants to shoot.

･･･

Time flies to the next day.

Kevin took Nicole Kidman on the red carpet to press Mitt. He and Nicole Kidman are naturally friends to the outside world, and he is not afraid of the media.

Without absolute evidence, the media did not dare to report indiscriminately, and at the same time he was very familiar with Tom Cruise.

The public knows this.

For him and Nicole Kidman walking the red carpet thing, but no one blindly associates.

Speaking of which, this was also invited by Nicole Kidman, and Kevin felt a little guilty for her.

After all, the promiser's project was not in place. For Kevin, a kind person, it was a breach of trust.

So after enjoying the special service of Nicole Kidman, he should come down immediately.

During the interview, help boasted and supported the Transformers.

After responding to some reporters' questions, the film soon began to be shown.

Kevin is still very confident about Mitt's version of Transformers. Although he has seen it once, he doesn't mind watching it a second time.

Speaking of which, he also contributed a lot to the editing of this film.

The rhythm is tightly compressed to ensure that the hearts of the audience are always hanging.

Movies, by themselves, are dramatic, so things that rarely happen in reality rarely happen.

In movies, it becomes inevitable.

For example, the recognition of the protagonist and Bumblebee, everything is so bloody, but reasonable.

The movie quickly came to the highlight.

Transformers at war with the US Army.

In a capitalist society, it has to be said that money is really everything.

With a large sum of US dollars, Mitt reached a cooperation with a high-ranking American officer, and even used a real fighter tank.

This makes the scene seem very real.

By the way, in this movie, the male and female protagonists are characters that Kevin has no impression of at all.

Of course, the heroine is indeed beautiful enough, which is not mentioned for the time being.

In this kind of commercial film, a beautiful vase is actually normal.

But the overall payroll, Kevin remembers, doesn't seem to exceed $10 million.

This also includes the salaries of the crew.

For this large-scale production of more than 100 million dollars, this remuneration expenditure is undoubtedly too low, which makes the film itself have no point to use for marketing.

In addition to the basic disk of the IP Transformers, there is nothing else.

But for Mitt, this is actually enough. There is nothing else in this movie. It's just robots, and humans are just foils.

The special effects spending close to tens of millions of dollars makes these special effects look like nothing at all.

This is actually the best compliment to the effect.

The real is not like a special effect, it is the best compliment to the special effect.

Iron robots, battle with war machine planes and tanks, which definitely fuels the adrenaline rush of the men on the scene.

Robots are the eternal romance of men. Such a movie makes it difficult for the audience to take their eyes off.

Chapter 378

Robots with a height of several meters, using various weapons, and fighting with planes, tanks, and troops, this scene instantly ignited the blood of men.

The most shocking were Wang Jing and Zhang Yimou.

Tsui Hark has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he clearly understands the gap between the mainland's film industry and Hollywood's film industry.

But after these two people came to the United States, although they also watched a lot of movies, they didn't have that kind of realism.

After all, the feeling produced by other film companies is completely different from that produced by Chenxi Film itself.

The production of Dawn Movies means that they also have the opportunity to get in touch with this kind of big production.

Hundreds of millions of dollars, and the project they are currently working on are completely different worlds.

At least, as far as the ten-minute scene on the big screen is concerned, from their understanding, the expenditure of 20 to 30 million US dollars is necessary.

This is only in terms of special effects, not to mention the price paid to cooperate with the army.

The results are also quite gratifying.

From this scene, they can conclude that the film is a success.

The plot of Transformers has nothing to say, it is very vulgar.

Fortunately, the one who came to watch this movie was not actually watching the plot at all.

Everyone is here for special effects.

Watch the robot wars.

And Mitt's robot battle scene perfectly restored the effect that the audience should have in the eyes of the audience. The car was blasted away and smashed with a punch.

Keep the audience hooked.

What planes and tanks are simply vulnerable in front of this group of Cybertron robots.

This is the power that a robot should have in the minds of the audience.

In the whole film, there are three similar big scenes, which are used as the climax of the three periods of the film to attract the audience's attention.

There are small plots in between.

The plot is also very simple, it is the battle between the two major factions of Cybertron robots, Decepticons and Megatron.

This is a familiar story for Americans.

And the IP of Transformers, in fact, still has a certain reputation in the world.

At least when Kevin was very young, he had seen Transformers anime and toys on the mainland.

Although it may be pirated, it still plays a very important role in spreading the influence of IP.

At least Kevin can know this IP because of the spread of piracy.

For such a well-known IP in the world, the content of the story is actually not complicated, it is simple and straightforward.

To put it bluntly, what you see is the special effects, and the public's requirements for the story are really not high.

Complete, reasonable, enough.

As long as the logic in the movie is self-consistent, that's fine.

More than an hour, whether it is long or short.

If the movie makes the audience feel boring, it will only cause the effect of living like a year, and the audience will feel that this time is very long.

But if the movie can attract the audience, then more than an hour is actually very short.

After more than an hour of Transformers, the faces of the audience showed expressions like waking up from a dream one by one, and then, naturally, it was time to exit.

The auditorium suddenly became noisy, and the audience left one after another along the viewing channel of ordinary people, still discussing the plot.

The guests left the other way.

After attending this premiere, Kevin didn't intend to get together any more, but told everyone directly and let them go about their own business.

A vacation for that vacation, a job for that job.

All have left.

Kevin then went back to his home in Beverly Hills.

･･･

"Kevin, you're back!"

As soon as he got home, Kevin realized that the atmosphere at home was a little off.
