Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

After reaching a tacit understanding with Ret, LTECH helped Kevin contact the current behind-the-scenes boss of MGM.

The news was that Kevin was asked to go to Las Vegas to actually meet the boss behind MGM.

Kevin readily agreed, took his bodyguard, and went to Las Vegas with Ret.

......

Las Vegas, a decorated casino with golden splendor.

Kirk Kercorion, a casino tycoon, heard that Ret, the president of the industry he was the least optimistic about, came to him with a director, and he couldn't help but be a little interested.

As a gambler, buying MGM was entirely a layman's idea, and now, I have to say, he regrets it.

MGM was definitely a money-losing deal for him.

Fortunately, MGM benefited from the development of IP and was barely self-sufficient, but if he wanted to benefit, it was impossible.

But this year, LTECH seems to have made some moves to make MGM's earnings a little better.

This made Kirk Kercorion feel a little better.

..

After half a day of flying, Kirk Kercorion's men picked them up in the car, and the three of them sat in the car and headed towards the legendary gambling city.

Kevin also looked at the four sides curiously.

On the side of the road, as far as the eye can see, it is generally the same as the most prosperous downtown area in New York.

A variety of luxury goods, high-end restaurants, gold jewelry and other high-spending shops, are placed on both sides.

Obviously, it is aimed at the gambler who won the bet, the kind of money is not the kind of money.

It is these wrongdoers who are pitted.

Kevin does not have these high-end consumption habits, and the poor often look like nouveau riche, but Kevin has maintained his original mentality very well.

Although he occasionally spends money on good food, he does not spend money on these luxuries.

At the end of the day, he's a director and doesn't need to package himself like a star.

All people want to see is his work.

There is no need to spend this money.

In half an hour's drive, the three of them came to a huge golden building.

The driver walked to the door and said a few words with a few gatekeepers, then retreated and walked into the office area of the casino with three people through the small door.

After passing through several complicated roads and passing by multiple guards, several people entered the core area of the casino.

After the two bodyguards checked that they were not carrying any metal weapons, they entered Kirk Kercorion's room together.

As a gambling tycoon, he has suffered from the hatred of countless people, and on weekdays, he is still very careful about his safety.

In this area of Las Vegas, coupled with such a complex procedure, you can protect your own security to the greatest extent.

After entering the room, Kevin looked at the decoration of the room, which was a hundred square meters of office area with sofas and other office supplies in the middle.

A middle-aged lean man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, and a man in a suit with a bit of godfather atmosphere, sat on the sofa in the middle and motioned for the three to sit down.

Along with his invitation, several people took their seats.

Kirk Kercorion then spoke:

"That's what you said, can lead MGM back to glory?"

MGM means nothing to Kirk Kercorion, he bought MGM, in fact, more for feelings, but when feelings become a burden, Kirk Kercorion no longer values MGM so much.

He was looking for an opportunity to sell MGM.

Kevin, on the other hand, is the one who allows his MGM to sell for a better price.

Faced with a worthy person, Kirk Kercorion put away his face as a gangster and dealt with several people with a serious businessman's face.

And in the face of Kirk Kercorion, who looks like a gangster boss, Kevin has no fear.

Things in the world move for profit.

When he can bring benefits to others, even gangsters will not attack him.

Kevin responded calmly and flatly:

"Yes, it's me."

"Steve Kevin."

LTECH chimed

in on the side: "He is the most famous emerging director in Hollywood recently, with three consecutive films with a global box office of more than 100 million, and the latest Mission Impossible work, the box office is expected to reach 600 to 700 million global box office."

"We at MGM have a 30% share of the investment."

Kirk Kercorion looked at Kevin with a somewhat surprised look.

This kind of windfall profit is almost comparable to the income of his casino.

Kevin alone has a gambling city, which is the talent of talent.

After thinking for a while, Kirk Kercorion said with a look in his eyes:

"How do you take MGM to glory, talk about your plan, if you can convince me, MGM's 5% shares, I agreed

..." As soon as the words fell, Kevin suddenly said:

"I want 10% of the shares."

People are not greedy and unstable, after meeting Kirk Kercorion, after a series of thoughts, Kevin directly doubled his original goal.

Hearing Kevin's words, Kirk Kercorion was not angry, lit a cigar, and after taking a sip, he said leisurely:

"Young man, if you are too greedy, you will only seek your own death."

"Of course, just at you dare to open your mouth in front of me, the lion, I will give you a chance to persuade me."

"What can you bring to MGM?"

A smile appeared on Kevin's face before he began to speak:

"Do you know the biggest reason for MGM's decline so far?"

Kirk Kercorion did not speak, and signaled with his eyes for Late to go up and talk.

LTECH on the side hurriedly said:

"Lack of movies with huge profits, and follow-up distribution power."

"As we all know, releasing is more profitable than movies, and the box office of a movie is only 30% to 40% of its profits."

"And our current distribution power at MGM is far from realizing the true potential of the films in the library."

Kevin chimed in:

"The most important thing is that we lack capital from a media giant."

"Without the support of media giants, MGM will never become the top five in Hollywood!"

"In addition to my shares, I also propose to sell a certain amount of shares to Warner Bros. to gain the support of Time Warner behind them."

"In this way, I am confident that in ten years, MGM's share price will rise at least five to ten times."

Kevin's words make MGM's future arrangements clear.

With his directing ability as a tandem, he introduced the capital of Time Warner behind Warner Bros., so as to give MGM a new life.

Whether all this can succeed depends on whether Kirk Kercorion is willing to sell some of his shares to Kevin and Time Warner.
