Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

As the director of a blockbuster movie, his arrival was warmly welcomed by New Line Film Company.

As soon as I entered, I was led to a very luxurious reception room.

Dawson waited early with his lawyer.

After resting for a while and eating a little snack in the office, Dean hurried over.

"Kevin, have you had fun these days?"

"It's very good, the feeling I have given me these days is only one sentence, it's good to have money!"

Kevin's face deliberately revealed the splurgence of the itinerary in the past few days, and the words were all meant to slaughter a fortune.

Dean's face suddenly showed a wry smile, and he no longer took a detour.

People even brought lawyers, and there is nothing to say, that is, they rushed to sell the follow-up copyright of Chainsaw Horror for a good price.

"Kevin, how much do you want to sell the follow-up rights to Chainsaw Horror?"

Kevin slowly stretched out three fingers and came out.

"Thirty million dollars? No way!

Dean's face changed abruptly.

Kevin's amount is undoubtedly a lion's mouth.

"Don't worry, the chainsaw itself, initially estimated, will bring you nearly 100 million dollars in revenue, this is no problem."

If the box office alone, excluding sharing and publicity costs, according to this trend, can earn nearly 100 million profits for the new line film company, not to mention other subsequent income.

However, with some of the copyright in Kevin's hands, this part of the income is undoubtedly much less.

Now Kevin is selling all subsequent income and copyrights to New Line Film Company, and although $30 million is a bit high, it will not be a loss.

It's just less profit.

Dean's face softened a little at Kevin's reminder, and Dean was about to speak and continue talking about the price.

Kevin continued:

"Two Chainsaw Horror scripts, and my ability to name the producers and fully cooperate with your promotion."

Kevin directly took out all his sincerity.

The script is the foundation, and for small-cost films, it depends on telling a good story.

Two scripts that continue the Chainsaw horror worldview and can continue to be promoted in his name, which has ensured the possibility of making money for the next two chainsaw horrors to the greatest extent.

At least these 30 million dollars, if nothing else, should be able to earn back.

Of course, this time Kevin can only take the fixed salary of the editor and the leather maker, and don't think about it.

"This..."

Dean hesitated and said, "

I'll go out."

Kevin nodded, apparently, this was going out to find someone who could make this decision to make this decision.

...

"Kevin, are they really going to offer $30 million?"

Dawson on the side finally didn't hold back after Dean left and asked.

Although he knew that the price would not be low, he only thought that it was ten million dollars.

Unexpectedly, Kevin directly asked for three times this price, that is, thirty million US dollars.

Even his agent was scared, but he also wanted the deal to be done.

CAA is able to take 5% of Kevin's income, which is the standard for A-rated customers, while Dawson, as Kevin's most direct agent, is able to share 1.5% of this 5%, and the rest is shared by the company and other CAA brokers who serve Kevin.

In other words, if this transaction is completed, he will start with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This made Dawson realize for the first time what it meant to have a high-end customer like Kevin.

I couldn't help but praise myself again in my heart for knowing the hero, signed Kevin early, and cooperated very happily.

Kevin had no problem with the commission they took from his income, after all, CAA was quite useful to him.

Without CAA's help, his start would have been far from going so smoothly.

If nothing else, if he himself is holding the project plan to seek investment everywhere, I don't know how many times he will hit the wall, and he may not be able to get investment.

Kevin is a big believer in win-win cooperation, and CAA's resources are worth the money.

"Believe me, they will, I've calculated it in detail!"

"This sale, except for the time it takes to pay back, is almost pure profit, and if they don't want to, I don't mind handing over the subsequent copyright of Chainsaw Horror to someone else."

"At the Beverly Hills party, Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinoff expressed interest in the rights to Chainsaw..."

Kevin said slowly, his tone full of confidence.

"Who said that the copyright of Chainsaw Horror should be handed over to someone else!"

Shay walked in with strides and teased Kevin's words.

"Isn't that thirty million dollars? We bought it at New Line Films! "

With Kevin's promise, there are two sequels to the base.

After thinking about it again, Shay decided to buy the subsequent rights to Chainsaw for 30 million US dollars.

To put it bluntly, Shay chose to make a lot of money instead of making quick money.

Kevin's face also had a smile on his face.

"Deal."

After reaching the cooperation, the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious, and in this harmony, Shay also talked about Kevin's next work.

"Kevin, your next work, or give it to New Line to operate and invest, believe me, New Line Film Company is your eternal backing."

"The work is all handled by yourself, no one else can interfere, the leathermaker only cares about the money, and the rest is all up to you!"

These words can be said to give Kevin the greatest directorial rights, of course, the most direct reason is that Kevin's second film will still only be a small-cost production.

Otherwise, tens of millions of dollars of investment are involved.

Spielberg can't get so many rights when he comes.

"In theory, there is no problem, but in order for the new film to get a better schedule and more big screens, I suggest that a part be distributed to other film companies with sufficient strength."

Kevin suggested seriously.

For Kevin, this is the choice to maximize benefits.

Shay only thought briefly and immediately agreed.

If the next Kevin's movie is still eating alone, when it is released, I am afraid that whether it is the big screen or publicity or the schedule, I am afraid that there will be problems.

Chainsaw Cry thrived in this Halloween, I don't know how much hatred it attracted, and the new line made a numb.

If you don't go out and pay the protection fee, you will be targeted in minutes.

They must not yet be the Big Five of Hollywood.
