After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 56:

Robinoff frowned, waiting for Kevin to say why.

“We could totally shoot two or three films at once.”

“The backs used by Batman are all the same, and the actors are also shared. We can shoot a movie up to 300 minutes, and then split it into two parts for release.”

“In this way, it can effectively curb the growth of actors’ remuneration.”

“The only problem is that if the movie fails, we lose a lot, but with me, Batman can’t fail.”

Kevin talked to Robinoff about his ideas, and the meaning was very simple, making two films with the same production cost.

In this way, it can reduce a lot of production costs due to the big box office sales.

But the disadvantage is that once the box office fails, you will lose two movies.

No director would choose to do this without being very confident.

The reason why Kevin chose this way is still that sentence, he does not like shooting sequels alone.

It is also the Dark Knight trilogy, and he only likes the first two, and these two are enough to set a dark tone for DC.

Once Warner went to this dead end, Zack Snyder was also included by him. Kevin really wanted to know how to turn over the brains of Warner’s later generations on DC.

There is a saying that fans of later generations often say, and Kevin deeply agrees.

DC’s biggest enemy is not Marvel, but Warner.

Robinov raised his head, pondered, and said:

“In principle, I agree, but specifically, I hope you can come up with a plan.”

Kevin nodded.

With his resume, Warners is unlikely to turn down his invitation to cooperate.

And this cooperation with Warner is destined to drag DC into the endless abyss.

However, it is impossible for Warners to realize this. They only feel that they have made a lot of money. They did not expect that the hundreds of millions of dollars they made from Batman would completely destroy a company worth tens of billions of billions of dollars. the DC Universe.

….

Chapter 91 Invite Jim Carrey

Leaving Warner, Kevin went straight back to the villa, and Milla Jovovich greeted him warmly.

Angelina Jolie became famous for winning the award for Escape from the Dead Town. She has countless films on hand, so naturally it is impossible to accompany Kevin every day.

On the other hand, Salma Hayek, is even more incredible.

Pirates of the Caribbean’s big sale made her one of the first-line actresses, and her salary went up by 8 million US dollars.

Judging from the remuneration of female stars in this era, she is already standing on the ceiling, and she has infinite beauty for a while.

In this way, she has no idea how many blockbuster contracts she has received, and she also has no time to accompany Kevin.

Only Milla Jovovich has not been able to benefit from Kevin so far, which makes Kevin a little embarrassed. As a playboy, he is still very fair in this regard.

They accompany Kevin, and Kevin gives them back.

Looking at Milla Jovovich’s enthusiastic attitude, Kevin opened his mouth and said:

“Mira, do you…want to play a role in Batman?”

Milla Jovovich’s eyes lit up, seeing the success of Angelina Jolie and Sharma Hayek, and the rising status of Kevin, that made her rush even if she didn’t get a role. Stay by Kevin’s side.

She knew very well that once she left Kevin’s side, she didn’t know how many girl models and actresses would climb to Kevin’s bedside.

This opportunity, if missed, will always be missed.

Now, Kevin has taken the initiative to speak, of course she will not miss this opportunity.

“I~ think!”

“Okay, I’m discussing with Warner about restarting the Batman series, and then you can be the heroine of Batman.”

Kevin’s understatement decided the heroine candidate for a super big production, which made Milla Jovovich completely moved.

Is this the power of the upper echelons of Hollywood?

Milla Jovovich couldn’t help but say:

“Kevin!”

“?”

“Want me!”

In the face of Milla Jovovich’s active invitation, Kevin was also unceremonious. After training for so long, coupled with the conditioning of Chinese medicine, Kevin felt as if he had six waists now.

Even if Julie, Hayek, and Jovovich go together, he will all…

Well, this is still a bit overwhelming.

But a Milla Jovovich would definitely not be able to help him, and the two went from the living room to the bedroom…

————————————-

It’s August and the weather is still very hot.

However, with Kevin’s net worth, he naturally does not need to consider this issue. The villa has a 24/7 air-conditioning service, and the swimming pool is the only way to go out.

It can only be said that with money, there is always happiness.

Meanwhile, the release of Pirates of the Caribbean is not over.

The domestic situation in the United States has been determined, but within the scope of English coverage, Caribbean pirates are still menacing.

In such a hot summer, who doesn’t want to enjoy a fantasy masterpiece galloping on the sea while enjoying the air conditioner in the cinema.

Pirates of the Caribbean swept the world, the box office rose, and the name Steve Kevin spread all over the world.

And Kevin’s reputation, more concentrated in the industry is different.

Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, is loved by people all over the world with his unique shape and coquettish temperament.

With the joint efforts of Warners and MGM, Johnny Depp embarked on his global publicity tour, trying to maximize the overseas box office spread of Pirates of the Caribbean.

..

In this way, Kevin spent a good time in the villa for a while.

Occasionally, Nicolas Cage and Robert Downey Jr. are invited to play here, and the time has passed for about a month.

Kevin has finally completed his own movie plan.

In his vision, the dark trilogy, in fact, he made two films by himself.

These two are enough to lead Warner’s vision of the DC Universe down the wrong path, leaving the rest to Warner himself.

Before that, though, Kevin is going to meet the people at the heart of the film’s success.

The actor who played the clown, his favorite object, Jim Carrey.

…

“Hello, are you Jim Carrey’s agent?”

“I’m Steve Kevin’s assistant, Ellie, director Steve Kevin, interested in discussing his new film with Mr. Jim Carrey.”

Following Kevin’s instructions, Ellie invited Jim Carrey.

“Excuse me, at noon today, Mr. Jim Carrey, do you have time?”

On the other end of the phone, Jim Carrey’s agent agreed immediately.

The news was then conveyed to Jim Carrey.

……

Zhonghua Pavilion, the most pure and high-end Chinese cuisine in Chinatown.

Since Kevin became rich, he has never treated himself badly. At the same time, he has retained the Chinese habit of discussing things at the dinner table.

In a classical box, Jim Carrey and Kevin sat on opposite sides of the round table, looking at each other.

“Hello, Mr. Jim Carrey!”

“Hello, Director Kevin!”

Looking at the Jim Carrey in front of him, he seemed a little restrained, not as extroverted and lively as he was in the movie.

Kevin couldn’t help but sigh.

Classmate Zhou Xingxing, Mr. Bean, and Jim Carrey, top comedians from three different countries, are all taciturn characters in reality.

Jim Carrey suffered from depression in the future.

What a strange fate.

Maybe top comedians are supposed to be.

“Don’t be nervous, come and eat some Chinese food. These are the top dishes in China.”

Kevin didn’t mention the movie right away, but pulled Jim Carrey to eat and drink first.

Under Kevin’s initiative, Jim Carrey also began to relax slowly.

After eating and drinking.

Looking at the relaxed Jim Carrey, Kevin said:

“I wonder if you’ve heard of the role of the clown?”

Jim Carrey hesitated.

“Yes, the Joker from Batman?”

Kevin nodded.

Jim Carrey was instantly refreshed. Although he is a very good comedian, he is not satisfied with the status of a comedian.

He wanted to break through, he wanted to be a real actor, not just a comedian.

But no way, no non-comedy characters came to him.

This is the biggest problem, people trust him in comedy movies, but they don’t approve of his other roles.

This is what troubles him the most.

Chapter 92 The Clown Jim Carrey

“Look at the script.”

Kevin pulled out a separate printout of the script and handed it to Jim Carrey.

“Batman: The Dark Knight?”

With curiosity, Jim Carrey flipped the script silently.

…

Gotham City, a city where there are always dark clouds under the night sky, and sins are buried.

It is also one of the cities with the highest crime rates in the United States.

In this city, there is a vigilante named Batman assisting the police to subdue one crime after another.

And among the countless prisoners, a criminal named Joker stood out and became the uncrowned king among the criminals.

The story revolves around the two of them.

The two of them are like the righteous and evil sides of the same person, like twin brothers.

The Joker kept giving Batman a personal choice, toying with him.

In the end, Batman had to choose between himself and the justice he stood for…

This script moved Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey suddenly raised his head, his expression was very urgent, and he said anxiously:

“Director Steve Kevin, please, please let me play the role of the clown.”

At the moment of reading the script, Jim Carrey felt a touch that emerged from the bottom of his heart.
