Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

And only Kevin knows how strong Jim Carrey's plasticity is.

Therefore, letting Jim Carrey show amazing acting skills in front of them is the best way to solve the trouble.

Under Kevin's arrangement, Jim Carrey began to play his role as a clown.

..

A moment later, applause broke out.

Kevin also watched Jim Carrey's performance with appreciation.

If Heath Ledger is a genius, Jim Carrey is simply a god.

It took Heath Ledger a month to study the scene, and Jim Carrey only took a few days to completely comprehend it.

The producer on the side couldn't help but applaud and ask:

"Why can you play this clown so well?"

"I simply feel that you are the clown of the United States, no, no, no, don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the clown in the movie."

"Please forgive me for speaking a little out of order, because I really like your interpretation of the Joker."

Jim Carrey, with a gentle smile on his face, but a hint of sadness in his smile, explained:

"It's been twelve years since I played comedy."

"I'm like a clown in a circus, using funny expressions and movements to make people laugh."

"However, I gradually realized that I was not happy."

"While bringing people happiness, I am becoming more and more unhappy in reality."

"I know, I'm going to break through, I'm looking for a non-comedy important role."

"The clown is my choice, I am the clown!"

The producer applauded again and nodded while looking at Kevin.

It seems to be asking with his eyes whether Kevin is satisfied with Jim Carrey's interpretation.

Kevin also applauded, with a smile on his face that everything was in control:

"Congratulations, Mr. Jim Carrey, the clown is yours."

With a few words, the framework of the Batman crew basically came out.

But filming doesn't start right away.

Unlike Pirates of the Caribbean, the Batman series has a comic book prototype, which also means that there are many important characters.

It is necessary to make certain changes to the image of the comic.

Or gain weight, or lose weight, or gain muscle and so on.

In addition, the road closure situation also has to apply with various departments and donate part of the public fund.

These things, added up, make the Dark Knight's start of work, not fast.

...

After the interview, after signing a specific contract, Kevin made requirements for the important actors according to his own requirements.

Everything is in full swing.

And in this busy schedule.

According to the undercover agent arranged by himself, Kevin came to Marvel Entertainment according to the news that he arranged.

-------------------------------------

billionaire Ronald Perelman, looking at Marvel's current earnings report, he had to admit that he was indeed too arrogant when he acquired Marvel's project.

Since acquiring Marvel a few years ago, he has continued to take mergers and acquisitions to expand the scale of Marvel.

This also means that the annual expenditure has increased significantly.

However, Marvel's earnings are far less beautiful than he imagined.

By now, the time had come when he needed to draw his own funds to fill the hole.

However, as a mature businessman, when encountering difficulties, what you do is definitely not to withdraw funds to solve the problem, which will only make yourself deeper and deeper.

Therefore, the solution he came up with was to sell the movie rights to the popular characters of Marvel Comics.

This includes, but is not limited to, the rights of subsequent peripherals, adaptations, etc. of the copyright.

And the X-Men and the Fantastic Four are his first targets.

The millions of dollars sold successfully allowed Marvel to support for more than a year.

Now, though, funding is struggling again.

Selling the rights again is certainly the best option.

What makes Ronald Perelman hesitate is that if he sells too many classic Marvel characters, it will only make Marvel itself worthless in the end.

At that time, what will be lost is the money he invested.

If he sells now, the $90 million he invested, plus the subsequent investment, is 200 million for the time being.

And Marvel's current value, it is not a big problem to calculate 300 million shots.

That is to say, with the cost of 200 million plus network resources, you can earn 50% profit in four to five years.

That's not really much money for a billionaire like him.

But the big question is, who to take over?

In these years of development, Marvel has had brilliance, at its peak, even more brilliant than DC at that time, almost acquired classic IPs such as Batman and Superman.

It's just because of antitrust reasons.

Marvel's attempt to make DC disappear by acquiring DC's classic IP failed.

As a result, DC fell into Warner's hands and was brilliant again, while Marvel gradually declined due to the wave of development of the times.

Ronald Perelman felt this wave even more with the advent of the Internet era.

People don't like to read comics anymore, whether it's Marvel, DC or other comic book companies, and the sales of comics are plummeting.

Unlike DC, which has Warner as the backstage, Marvel, in view of the fact that the IP influence is far inferior to DC, no film company is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it so far.

At most, they are eyeing a certain IP of Marvel.

But Ronald Perelman knew that once he sold the valuable IP, the remaining ones that were not well-known enough would be wanted.

Therefore, his demand is to sell it in a package, which all the studios do not recognize.

That's where the problem is.

Ronald Perelman himself also tried to use Marvel's well-known IP for TV cinematicization, but unfortunately lost money.

At the end of the day, he's a complete layman in film and television.

Until now, he just wants to find someone to get out of Marvel quickly.

Solve this big baggage.

At this time, one of his employees took the initiative to report to him that Steve Kevin was very interested in Marvel.

This couldn't help but make him think.

The name Steve Kevin can be described as thunderous.

Even he, a pure businessman, has known this person from all angles.

In today's Hollywood, the most famous big directors, although there is still a lack of award qualifications, but from the perspective of commercial films, he is not lost to those long-established big directors.

It is also the majority shareholder of MGM among the eight major Hollywood film companies.

It also has a very high status in Hollywood.

What did he come to himself for?

Ronald Perelman has completely forgotten that Kevin had come to him two years ago.

At this time, I was in the office, pondering alone.
