Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Kevin is like a gold mine at this time, and everyone wants to get some benefits.

The same goes for Harvey Weinstein.

Two consecutive movies make money, which means that Kevin has this strength, and his next movie also has an 80% chance of making money.

As long as he continues to shoot such small-cost horror films, the investment will never have to worry.

Harvey Weinstein, watching Warner Bros. and New Line Studios make a lot of money, say no, it's fake.

The purpose of coming to this party is to catch a ride on Kevin's next movie.

In the face of Harvey Weinstein's overtures, Kevin was not good to directly slap his face, but just saluted back.

"Thank you!"

Kevin's rejection could not stop Harvey Weinstein's idea of taking advantage of him.

This is a business that costs tens of millions of dollars, and compared to this, the face is nothing.

Harvey Weinstein forced himself to Kevin's side, and said with a good look:

"Kevin, you have only entered Hollywood, the time is not long, I don't know some things."

"In Hollywood, the Oscars are the quickest way for you to become a big director."

Kevin nodded, and although he didn't like Harvey Weinstein, he also admitted that he had a point.

If there is no recognition of the award, if you want to become a big director, you need many classics.

But if there is recognition of an Oscar award, there are two or three classics, and then publicized through the media, he will immediately become a big director.

No, this kind of can only be considered a name guide.

A big director also means a big production.

Speaking of this, Kevin's heart pondered his next work.

He made up his mind to come to the last upper-middle level big production.

Otherwise, if you make a small fuss every day, even if it is a big explosion, it will be difficult to get recognition from big awards.

Looking at the change in the expression on Kevin's face, Harvey Weinstein suddenly rejoiced in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot:

"Work with me, Kevin."

"Miramax Film Company, with rich experience in rushing awards, can help you hit the Oscar for Best Director to the greatest extent."

“····"

While Harvey Weinstein was persuading Kevin, a MGM president Rett in a suit and an elite white dress came to Kevin.

"Hello, Kevin, I'm MGM President Reiter!"

The white face shows a kind face, and his identity is not low in Hollywood.

Reiter completely ignored Harvey Weinstein on the side, and said to himself:

"The conditions that Miramax can give you, we can give you, and the conditions they can't give, we can also give."

Although Kevin did not know the person in front of him, he knew that after 93 years, MGM would change a president.

In other words, the current MGM president may step down directly next year.

So, he came to himself to save MGM's performance?

Harvey Weinstein darkened his face and watched MGM's president cut off his beard.

To be honest, he was angry about this situation, but MGM had a background in Hollywood that was difficult for him to reach.

Once MGM, its lion symbol, was once regarded as a symbol of the United States, creating countless classics.

Even now, due to poor operation, it has led to a huge financial crisis.

But the connections and forces accumulated over the years are still not something Harvey can offend.

If nothing else, just rushing to the Olympics, he Harvey Weinstein spends a lot of money, while MGM can sell favors.

Julie on the side was only excited to hear it.

Whether it is Harvey or MGM, they are characters that are difficult for her to reach, and such characters are looking to Kevin for cooperation.

That's the charm of the director.

The status of stars in Hollywood is far worse than that of directors.

Compared with the status of a superstar like Xiao Lizi and a big director like Spielberg, they are far from it, let alone ordinary little stars.

Only climbing to the top gives a certain autonomy.

And the director, as long as he has certain achievements, can become a guest of major film companies.

The most important thing is that as a director, you don't need to pay attention to what character and what mess.

In the face of MGM CEO's overtures, Kevin naturally will not offend him.

"It's a pleasure to work with MGM, but I haven't come across a project I'm interested in yet, and it may take a while."

Kevin said politely.

Harvey listened to Kevin's words and left angrily, while keeping this matter firmly in his heart.

"Director Kevin, MGM's side can directly provide you with more than $30 million in production funds, as long as you agree to let MGM participate in your next film investment."

LTECH directly opened his own conditions, up to 30 million US dollars of investment, even if MGM once the investment fails, it will also hurt his bones.

The current Hollywood studios, any studio, cannot afford to lose $100 million.

As a public company, the success or failure of their movies and stocks will be implicated in each other.

Once a movie loses hundreds of millions of dollars, then it is followed by a stock crash, which is very serious.

In the face of MGM's sincere approach, Kevin is really hard to refuse.

But the next movie, he really didn't think about it.

The originally expected Ghost Knight was not suitable for filming at this time.

Once filmed, if you want to buy Marvel at that time, you will have to pay a huge additional price.

For other works, he still needs to think carefully.

At the same time, observe the viewing habits of the past two years, which type of movie is the most popular.

"Okay, when my next movie comes out, I'll contact you if necessary."

Kevin's words obviously did not satisfy him.

Until now, LTECH has also prescribed his final conditions.

"Kevin, if you are willing to continue to sign a contract with MGM after the success of your first film with MGM, MGM shareholders can give you a part of the shares for free."

MGM's shares?

Kevin's eyes widened suddenly.

As a film industry practitioner, MGM's history, he still knows something.

On the normal route, MGM would have declared bankruptcy in 2010 and restructured its assets.

Of course, it is not that no one has bought it, but that there is no agreement on the price.

MGM wants to sell itself for $5 billion, and the highest bid is no more than $3 billion, and not in cash, but in the form of share swaps.

But for Kevin, even if it's just three billion dollars, that's still a huge amount.

To be honest, at this moment, Kevin's heart moved.
