Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Looking at the decadent Dawson, Kevin said directly:

"In that case, let's leave CAA together, my film company, there is still a president left, you can do it."

"Kevin..."

Dawson was somewhat moved, if Kevin insisted, in fact, at most he would be replaced, and for Kevin, he would not have anything to lose in CAA.

But Kevin's willingness to support him made him very happy.

In that case, there was nothing to hesitate, and Dawson plucked up the courage to say:

"Then I can follow you and do things, and I will hand over the resignation slip later."

Kevin smiled, held Dawson's shoulder and said:

"Yes, by the way, help me terminate the brokerage contract with CAA, and help me find an assistant and driver after leaving, the assistant is preferably a woman, the driver is best able to concurrently serve as a bodyguard, and the cost can be high."

"Leave it to me, Kevin."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Kevin and CAA signed only the lowest contract before, and although their status was improved, the contract has not changed.

Basically, for a few thousand dollars, you can cancel the brokerage contract.

....

Back in the villa, Kevin began to create again.

The selling point of Mission Impossible 1 is actually very clear, that is, action scenes.

There are three classic scenes, jumping a train, breaking a fish tank and lurking back to the intelligence bureau to steal documents.

Speaking of this, Kevin couldn't help but think of Jackie Chan's big brother.

The scene of jumping the train, it seems that Jackie Chan did not do less.

However, at this time, Jackie Chan was still mixed in Hong Kong Island, and he had not yet involved Hollywood.

Of course, these are not important, what is important is that Kevin wants to invite the legendary Yuan Baye to be responsible for directing the action scenes of Mission Impossible.

When it comes to action scenes, European and American blockbusters are more embarrassing than the other.

It doesn't look pretty enough and doesn't look real enough.

However, after the Matrix, Hollywood also understood how powerful Hua Guo's research on action scenes is, and since then, many Hollywood blockbusters have these behind-the-scenes figures.

However, the film companies that are more familiar with Hong Kong Island seem to be...

The new line seems to be more familiar.

Thinking of the future, the rush hour of the new line making Jackie Chan, Kevin guessed.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, and after their negotiations with Paramount are in place, Kevin will contact the crew members one by one.

.....

Half a month has suddenly passed.

After extremely complicated business negotiations, Paramount finally reached a specific cooperation plan with MGM and Warner Bros.

First of all, the total amount of Mission Impossible investment is 80 million US dollars, of which the investment amount is divided into four parts, which are invested by Kevin, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros.

The specific investment ratio is MGM 30%, Paramount 10%, Warner Bros. 30%, Kevin 30%.

The copyright income of Mission Impossible is also distributed, but the subsequent Mission Impossible sequel belongs entirely to Paramount and has nothing to do with anyone else.

Simply put, Paramount relies on the team led by Kevin to turn Mission Impossible into a fiery big IP.

They only want to pay the least.

In short, if the Mission Impossible movie fails, Paramount will not lose much.

But if successful, a sequel to Mission Impossible will bring amazing benefits to Paramount.

Faced with such a clause, everyone still agreed.

This movie is more important to prove that Kevin has enough ability to direct movies with big investments, and as for the follow-up sequel, if Kevin has the ability, it is not difficult to find other IPs.

...

This news was conveyed by MGM to Kevin's ears.

Faced with this news, Kevin immediately began to form a team of directors.

Without the help of CAA, some things naturally have to be done by yourself.

A classmate from the University of Southern California, Kevin's loyal team, once again chose to join his Sunrise Film Company, abandoning the CAA contract.

Compared with CAA, you can get more benefits from being around a famous director like Kevin.

Some of the teams are in place, and Kevin still lacks an experienced assistant director, which Kevin directly told the directors' union.

People who have this meaning can contact him directly through the directors' guild.

In the end, an experienced assistant director, Billett, was selected.

He has a track record as an associate director of several films, something Kevin hasn't studied carefully.

The deputy director is more responsible for checking and filling in the gaps, and the film mainly depends on him, the main director.

At the same time, other personnel who were lacking, he also passed through various trade unions and gathered manpower one by one.

In addition to action guidance.

Kevin picked up the phone and made a call to Dean.

On the other end of the phone, Dean was regretting not being able to participate in Kevin's investment in his new movie, so he saw Kevin's phone and quickly took it.

"Hello, Kevin."

"Dean, I heard that you are very familiar with the people of Hong Kong Island, can you help me contact the action director named Yuan Heping, my new movie needs some excellent action guidance."

Kevin was straight to the point.

"No problem, but Kevin, your investment in new movies, why don't you call our new line film company, it's not interesting enough!"

Dean said half-jokingly.

"The first time directing a big investment, I am also for your good, to help you avoid risks, if the next film has the opportunity to cooperate, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Kevin said politely.

Having said that, Dean didn't have anything to say, and after hanging up the phone, he directly helped Kevin contact Hong Kong Island's action director Yuan Heping and his Yuan family class.

On Hong Kong Island in 1993, movies came out one after another, and in theory, Yuan Heping did not have time to the United States.

However, on Hong Kong Island, there are many excellent action directions, and he is irreplaceable in the United States.

But on Hong Kong Island, it is still not a big problem to recruit someone to replace him.

Therefore, in the case of the new line film company, under the promise of profit, Yuan Heping and his Yuan family class finally took the United States to Los Angeles.

At this point, Kevin's production team has been completely completed, except for a small part of the special effects investment, other places have been done.

....

At the same time, the news about Kevin's Mission Impossible movie also spread in Hollywood circles.

Action movies with an investment of 80 million, I don't know how many people are hungry.

Countless people have tried to get a role in Kevin's new movie through various relationships.

After abandoning CAA, these roles now do not need to pass CAA.

Kevin's choice was to leave most of the supporting roles to the studios.

The heroine is approved in advance by him as an investor and director, that is, Angelina Jolie.
