After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

After a while, Emma, ​​who no one was looking for, changed her identity.

Chapter 106 The production is complete

Look for the two everywhere.

Immediately after finding Kevin and Emma, ​​he joined the battle.

･･It's another happy day for Director Kevin ･･･

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

The three days of Christmas passed quickly.

After the festival, Kevin began his intense shooting schedule again.

Since it is a realistic comic book movie, this movie does not have too many fighting scenes, but mainly literary dramas. The core point of the plot is Batman and the Joker.

With the completion of the film scene by scene, the plot gradually progressed to the wonderful part of the film.

Kevin, who knew that such scenes couldn't be rushed, just let Jim Carrey's Joker and Christian Bale repeat the scenes in general.

Under the pressure of Kevin, every rehearsal made the movie even better.

For two full months, every day, Kevin stared at the scenes of the two, repeating it over and over again.

Not only is he going crazy, but Jim Carrey now has a bit of a clown in his daily life, and he is already too deep into the play.

Under such circumstances.

Finally, the filming is over.

...

"Thank you very much for your hard work in this crew. Today, I announce that the filming of The Dark Knight of Batman has officially ended."

"The Crocker Hotel, a small party, welcome everyone, have a party today."

After the filming ended, Kevin finally showed a smile.

This was a scene that no one could see during the filming of the film. After being tempered by multiple crews, Kevin gradually gained his own reputation on the set.

And his reputation, nicknamed the black-faced god.

That is to say, during the filming of the film, he has been black-faced.

After arranging other members of the crew, Kevin did not idle, but pulled Jim Carrey to simply go to Robert Downey Jr.'s favorite bar.

...

"Director Kevin, you finally have time to come here."

Downey, who was dashing in the bar, saw Kevin approaching, and hurriedly leaned over and joked.

With their relationship, Downey won't have any jealousy for Kevin. Seeing Kevin developing so well in Hollywood, he will only be happy for Kevin.

He was also very happy to see Kevin and Jim Carrey over.

After joking, Downey casually asked for two bottles of wine from the bar, and this time he sat down with Kevin Jim Carrey.

"Kevin, you don't come to the bar very often. It should be something."

Kevin laughed.

"I'm here to introduce a friend to Jim Carrey. I think he needs a friend like you, Donnie."

Jim Carrey's performance in the movie made Kevin very satisfied, but it also caused him to worry.

He could feel that Jim Carrey, who played the clown, was in a poor mental state.

As a responsible director, Kevin felt that he was obliged to help Jim Carrey solve it.

And depression, Kevin feels, in addition to the physical factors, an extroverted friend is actually a good help.

"Hello, I'm Jim Carrey."

Jim Carrey introduced himself shyly.

It's hard to believe that Jim Carrey is, in reality, a bit shy with strangers, given the way Jim Carrey feels in the movie.

Referred to as social weakness, that is, weak social skills.

"Hello, I'm Robert Downey Jr. Today you and Kevin came to my site, leave it to me, and promise to make you happy today."

Corresponding to social weakness, Robert Downey Jr. is a typical social cow.

People are crazy, familiar, talkative...

These are his labels.

"DJ, change a piece of music, Kevin, you come too."

In order to let Jim Carrey get rid of the role as soon as possible, Kevin also joined this special night party.

A head-swinging dance is the special dance that Jim Carrey will perform on Saturday Night Live in 1996. Here, Kevin came to life ahead of time.

Jim Carrey may never have imagined how much broadcast volume his future small show will get on the mainland.

...

The dance begins.

Jim Carrey was originally a little restrained, but he was sandwiched between Kevin and Robert Downey Jr., with magical music and a dynamic head swing.

Let Jim Carrey shake his head involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, this scene led the entire nightclub. Hundreds of customers of the nightclub danced this special dance together under the magical music.

Jim Carrey, who rarely felt happy and relaxed in life, suddenly found that he also enjoyed the feeling of dancing in a nightclub with his friends.

At the same time, he silently made up his mind that he would come here often to relax.

･･･

After introducing Jim Carrey to Robert Downey Jr. as a friend, Kevin was relieved.

He believes that the character of Robert Downey Jr. will definitely keep Jim Carrey from falling into depression again.

He even came up with the idea of ​​having two people co-star in a movie.

Of course, it's just an idea.

What he has to do now is to cut out the dailies of Batman The Dark Knight.

Then the soundtrack, special effects processing, and so on in the later stage, slowly get it done.

Speaking of which, he hasn't been to MGM for a long time, and he can think of MGM's opinion on him.

As a major shareholder of MGM, the new movie did not bring MGM at all, and there will definitely be many high-level executives who have opinions on him.

But this is Kevin's intention. Through this method, he wants to let the people at MGM know who MGM's business relies on.

Without him, Steve Kevin, MGM is a mess right now.

And then starting this year, since The Dark Knight, he's basically cut off from Warner Bros.

Begin to focus on making movies that belong to MGM and Dawn, increase your influence on MGM, and make money at the same time, always ready to swallow MGM.

.....

Half a month later, the first and second episodes of the Dark Knight came out.

The workload of the two films was extremely huge, and it really made Kevin half tired.

As for the soundtrack and other things, Warner Bros. has a wealth of experience, and Kevin spent almost the most relaxed manner in the production of The Dark Knight since he made a movie.

On March 20, 1995, Kevin finally finished making Batman.

In the production room, there was an undisturbed day off.

Kevin woke up full of energy, changed into a brand new clothes, and threw away the clothes that had not been changed for many days.

Walking out of the studio, Kevin casually called an employee who was guarding the door and asked them to notify Warner's executives to take a look at the final effect of the Batman filmed by him.

Chapter 107 Internal Preview

"Steve Kevin has finished making The Dark Knight?"

As soon as he heard the news, Robinov rushed over immediately.

As a major production with a total investment of about 150 million, if the box office fails, even a film company of Warner's level cannot afford it.

After all, with the size of Warner, the annual revenue is only more than 200 million US dollars.

It looks like a lot, but if the production cost is counted, if you lose a big production, basically Warners one year is equivalent to nothing.

Losing two major productions basically requires the use of liquidity on the books.

Loss of three...

Without the support of the group behind, it could almost bring down a large film company.

The film industry has always been a high-investment, high-return industry.

For a movie to be successful, especially for a big-budget movie, the follow-up revenue is too much.

On the whole, it can reach three times five times the investment, or even more.

With such a high profit, the loss is also very serious.

Of course, for Robinoff, as the president of Warner Bros., if the production of such a big investment is a big failure.

Even if it is him, he will inevitably resign and leave.

However, in terms of Kevin's ability, Robinoff absolutely does not believe that there will be a situation where even the cost cannot be recovered.

If that's the case, he'll count, and Kevin's career will inevitably go downhill with him.

It's a completely different concept to screw up a big production and screw up a small production.

The small steps showed the urgency in Robinov's heart.

In just a few minutes, Robinov came to the screening room from the ten-story president's office.

Kevin handed the master tape in his hand to Robinoff, stretched his waist, and said to himself:

"I'm pretty sure this is going to be another Oscar-winning epic in my career."

This is a rare boast from Kevin.

In essence, the two Batman Dark Knight films are the dark knight series born out of Nolan's director, but Kevin has absorbed the essence and reconstructed the movie.

At least the original part accounts for more than 50%.

It was barely enough for Kevin to say that it was his own work.

If Chainsaw, Escape, and Mission Impossible are all copied, then Pirates of the Caribbean is Kevin's first step in the film adaptation.

Of course, the overall adaptation of Pirates of the Caribbean is between 10% and 20%, and Kevin is embarrassed to say that it is his own original.

But the Batman Dark Knight series.

Kevin is equivalent to breaking up the plots of the previous two films, and at the same time adding part of the plot of the birth of the clown, which further promotes the importance of the role of the clown.

In this way, Kevin is equivalent to paving the way for the first half of the Batman Dark Knight series.

Therefore, the results of the first film may not be very good.

But all the foreshadowing will push the next Batman Dark Knight directly to the level of a masterpiece, which is Kevin's confidence.

Robinoff nodded, and Kevin's confidence also infected him.

Then the next thing to do is very simple. The rating of an internal preview meeting is to determine the proportion of the subsequent investment in this big production.

The film manager who heard the news, as well as several high-level executives, took their seats one after another.

This small theater, which can accommodate more than 30 people, is fully occupied.

Kevin lay on the seat and fell asleep lazily. He has absolute confidence in the quality of the Dark Knight, and now he is only waiting for a result.

Robinoff snorted, telling everyone not to disturb Kevin, but lowered the voice of the movie and played it silently.

Two movies, more than 4 hours in length.

Get everyone ready for a bladder fight in advance.
